Please listen to me / and don't disagree
Even as we fight / it doesn't matter to me Here alone in this place / here alone in my bed I feel your warmth on my face / and these thoughts in my head Everything I say to you feels stupid now Feelings that i shared with you are over now Haven't I been enough of a fool for you? Everything I say to you feels stupid now |

You plead with yourself / but he's leading you on
It's the same thing every time / every time I am determined not to fall into that trap again It's the things I need for myself / and not a way to validate Or partner up with some great statue That never moves or goes on dates And chasing the one who's running away While being chased by the one you don't want It's the race to be whole / and it's always unfair It'll break your heart for a while / break your heart for a while The passion hoping wanting / is what drove you to be What you are today / what you are today The shape shifting, weightlifting Hope the presentation will catch his eye And it did, and then he saw the string He grabbed it and leads you on your leash You offered it up / so don't blame anyone but yourself And just the moment you think / just at the moment you think You're closing the deal / he walks to the other side of the world And closes the door in your face You never give me the things I need / and yet I stay here, I remain Hoping you will see the things I need / But I've come to learn You don't even see me / I am invisible to You don't even see me / I am invisible Who needs to dream? I don't want to dream about the future I only hope that I can make it to tomorrow |

It began sometime last week
The feeling that most everything was changing for the worse All the triggers pulled at once So begins my ugly fall from grace - again I made myself delusional, the noble stab at staying upbeat It was only for a while Tried my best to radiate through hurricanes and double eights The pair split into two Talking points from up on high Watch me walk the ledge, I am comfortable out here by myself You could never reach me here Words distroted in the wind, landing softly there beneath the trees Our trip to California, don't say I didn't try to warn you Put down the cell phone, and try to be with me Did you see me disappear like vapor rolling through the hills And then, the silence of your name I never found the trust I needed from you Everything you did was making me wonder My biggest mistake was taking you back Again and again Couldn't forgive the things that you did I'm glad it worked out for you, but You're only fooling yourself if you think you won't do it Again and again Sad attempts at poetry, sad attempts at happiness The sadness of reality I'm OK, I've been OK, I'll stay OK I took the bullets from the carport, toossed them in my backpack Placed a set of keys inside the grill I left the title to the house inside the piano bench And my lawyer's got the will |

We lock the gaze tightly upon each other
No others come near, no others come between As you remain beside me muted and studying In beauty and radiant heat I will write the words I want to hear you say On a page torn from my diary I hand you the sacred text and wait for you to place it Across the hole in my heart smoothing the edges from the center Affixing it in place with sugar water and saliva I want you to read these words to me every day This is where the thought resides Stuck upon my heart on the outside I am speechless in your beauty, you are flawless in my eyes As your eyes show my reflection I try to ignore the decay and listen harder to the tone The pitch of your broad chest as it exhales into mine Old highs, new lows. Ain't that how life goes. |

True blue star: would you stay in my heart?
Or will you fool me once again? Time to remember and forget the love you gave, the deep regret. And in the end, return to dust; and in the end, return we must The verse, the bridge, the one refrain; the turn, the happiness, the pain. When I am stripped of everything, I have the plainsong left to sing. What do you want to be? Will you grow up like me? What do I have to defend? Where will I go in the end? Growing old, it's hard to be the angry young man. Turn away. Turn and walk away. Beyond profane and holy word, a thought profound, but never heard. With all compassion in your eyes, you cast me downward from the sky. Feeling the earth moving under my feet, all that was firm is collapsing. Eyes going blind, all is silent. Peace. |

There were trails of fallen trees
Deciduous and weeding marsh The lowland birds and crickets roared The final sound of fall Along the banks of the river We approached the footbridge Entering the wilderness Following my footstep The silence between us is the time When I can't hear the thoughts That's on your mind, yeah Beyond the panic and worried that Seems to consume most every thought There lies a calm and steady hand That someday you might see Perhaps it isn't what you wanted Or even what you're looking for But once you see the symmetry Once you see the you and me The silence between us is the time When I can't hear the thoughts That's on your mind, yeah Winter lovers, we're so nervous The words will disappear What thoughts are on your mind, yeah You park the car outside the Holiday Inn We cross the highway single-file And you were walking in a hurry And there was me without water with a smile Yeah! The silence between us is the time When I can't hear the thoughts That's on your mind, yeah Winter lovers, we're so nervous The words will disappear What thoughts are on your mind, yeah On your mind, yeah On your mind, yeah On your mind, yeah |

Shelter me from everything you do
Shelter me I cant see the truth Keep me from this pain I see Keep me from the pain you deal Keep me from reality Keep me in suspended disbelief I can't see the truth from you I can't see reality I can't see the truth from you reality Shelter me from everything you do Shelter me suspended disbelief Shelter me shelter me from yoou Shelter me sheltered from the truth Shelter me keep me from the truth Shelter me suspended disbelief A little less affection every day As it resonates, reverberates, and trails away The slow romantic decay As is resonates, reverberates, and trails away |

If you want it to be, you've got to stand here by me
But if you wanted to leave, go on and make yourself free If you want me to plead, you see me down on my knees You can do as you like, but do you know where it leads? When I wake from my sleep, outside my window I see A little robin that sings a little sonnet for me And every morning, I feel just like that bird in that tree I'd build a nest out of weeds, but would you share it with me? This is very temporary, but I can't do without having you around If it's very temporary, tell me now Just to please you I'd blow my brains out, this is it Cut my heart out with a razor now You're the one in my dreams, how can I make you believe It's all that I want, it's all that I want Now I'm lonely, it's the yearning You infiltrate my thoughts and places in my home This is very temporary, I know that's all you want, I know I know You're the reason I keep breathing and I'll give up the fight if you go Cut my heart out with a razor now |

I say to you / secrets that I hold so dear
I'm putting all my emotions on display What i say to you / maybe it's that time of year Would you like to see my miniature parade? What I say to you / I thought about those broken hearted Crazy years and I hope that they're gone What I say to you will always stay between your loving arms and mine Why'd you have to tear me up? Didn't I seem sad enough? I can play the clown for you / is that what I'm supposed to do? Sun is falling down like rain, the clouse are mixed with velvet pain Minature parade I bring to you Try to see the reason i get mixed up when I open up my Hopes and fears and wants and needs to you |

as performed by Bob Mould
as interpreted by Matthew Savoie Is it a crime, to want to show your soul We've wasted our time, another black hole This guide is not even lost, not even sure Now find the disease or the cure Has life lost all its glory and wonder Sad tales are told again and again Sleep toss and turn my old bed What a tale, again and again Now all the stories of the world could fit in a building In a building high and wide Well it's filed under headdings That no one's quite sure of But Lord knows that everyone tried When the pen meets the paper When the mind, it begins to stray How a sould can lose its will to explain Oh explain, again and again Day after day, day after day, day after day. Oh-- oh-- no no no... We all cry once in a while It doesn't fit well with your smile But then are those tears, are they for real Again and again it's how you feel If I was losing life, when picked from the ground A nice arrangement for the occation But when flowers when moved from place to place Lose all meaning, dislocation, dislocation Mmmmmm oh ah--- no now... When a sleepless night A flame attempts to spark us all We might burn, candle light A waste of time, another dead soul If these walls around my soul could talk The words would lose importance Within these walls I hold So hear these words We all want to leave a mark somewhere With those of us who feign to care If all fortune its times we find a way To build up these walls in time, to build up these walls in time. Is it a crime? |
