we spotted the ocean at the head of the trail
where are we going, so far away and somebody told me that this is the place where everything's better, everything's safe walk on the ocean step on the stones flesh becomes water wood becomes bone half and hour later we packed up our things we said we'd send letters and all those little things and they knew we were lying but they smiled just the same it seemed they'd already forgotten we'd came walk on the ocean step on the stones flesh becomes water wood becomes bone now back at the homestead where the air makes you choke and people don't know you and trust is a joke we don't even have pictures just memories to hold that grow sweeter each season as we slowly grow old |

One little girl Told to know her place Told she must believe And do what he says One little girl Taught that she is small Taught that she is less And man's decree is law One little boy who'd know her too well But that one little boy could send her to hell One little man who'd care if she cried But that one little man would leave her And then she'd die One little girl Is beaten 'till she faints Told that this is love Told that she will have to take it One little girl Is just a bit confused Thought that she was human too CHORUS One little girl Couldn't run away Anywhere she'd go The rules and men the same One little girl Couldn't take the pain Numbed herself 'till none remained CHORUS |

High on a wire Poised for an imminent fall Clowns always smile Greasepaint and lust in their pores Start to sway and I hold your hand Fall, the smile surrounds his head Hot ashes, clay Hot ashes fade To lean, to err, too far along for me To wait around, to smile is to accept In center ring Rolling in sawdust and hay Covered in paint Damn everything but the circus Damn the men and the women who stare At the freaks in the cages and snares Hot ashes, clay Hot ashes fade To win, to err, to fall too far for safety To lean, to wait a while is too easy To lean towards, to fall too far for me To wait a while around is too easy To lean too long, to fall too far for safety To seem to smile, to lie is to accept |

to moonn6pence from shootingstar(papayeverte)
Nothing's so loud As hearing when we lie The truth is not kind And you've said neither am I But the air outside so soft Is saying everything Everything All I want is to feel this way To be this close, to feel the same All I want is to feel this way The evening speaks, hear it say Nothing's so cold As closing the heart when all we need Is to free the soul But we wouldn't be that brave I know And the air outside so soft Confessing everything Everything All I want is to feel this way To be this close to feel the same All I want is to feel this way The evening speaks, I feel it say And it won't matter now Whatever happens will be Though the air speaks of all we'll never be It won't trouble me All I want is to feel this way To be this close to feel the same All I want is to feel this way The evening speaks, I feel it say And it feels - so close Let it take - me in Let it hold - me so I can feel - it say |

one more time he says good-night turns out the door and off the light cursing low as if she didn't know one more time he'd comfort her as if a word could break through her she's so quiet and he's sick of it too long, too late this time too far, too great in my mind one more time a run-around nothing meant by anyone fine with them, such a quite din says he wants to leave a while she just sits and tries to smile "that's ok, it was boring anyway" too long, too late this time too far, too great in my mind says she needs a worshiper someone who'll do anything at all for her wishful thinker he don't need this schizo bull each one misses by so far they don't see it come, but who ever does... |

how can it happen that every time you ask us this question the answer seems like a lie you know what we're saying and you know what it means and it's always sincere god knows but it never gets through to where you need before you were born someone kicked in the door there's no place for you here, stay back where you belong before you were born someone kicked in the door you are not wanted here, stay back where you belong god damn the people who left you in pain god damn the father without face, without name and god damn the lovers who never showed up and god damn the wounds that show how deep a word can cut before you were born someone kicked in the door there's no place for you here, stay back where you belong before you were born someone kicked in the door you are not wanted here, stay back where you belong and how can it happen now that you know the cause that nothing is changing and everything's wrong but pain is the healing and the tears sting like alcohol just keep on there breathing we'll bring you down the long, long road back home |

spoken]We saw something gigantic floating on the water
I asked my dad what it was But he wouldn't tell me anything In time I will collect the world The eggs (I love) and wings (the wings) Of butterflies A man drove up in an ugly car And he flashed his lights at everything he saw And his eyes were red and his stereo was So loud you couldn't hear the engine's roar He yelled at everybody in the road And did not notice all the moths he'd massacred Spread across the open road [spoken]His skin flashed open, and all of a sudden there it was, And I still couldn't tell And you know when you get so close to something that big You can't see anything at all In time I will collect the world You who fall on calvary The eggs (I give) and wings (my children) Had you wings of Butterflies A moth had settled upon his arm and he looked at it with a lazy eye And he lifted up a gigantic hand and he Spread his fingers towards the sky He nudged the moth to make it fly away But moths are fragile things and He just wiped its body (x3) Down across his shoulder blade He's a wonder, he's a little black-wing boy Oh, my daughters, he'll fill you with joy In time I will collect the world You who soar o'er calvary The hearts (Oh father) and limbs (I offer) of Had you wings of Butterflies |

Be who you are If it fits in the system Say what you want But you might die if they listen They think in the politics Of gasoline and torture Please only talk to me in the dark Please only talk to me in the dark Write what you will If you write it in a prison Sing how you feel But you might die if they listen They think in the politics Of rosaries and chains And it's hard to tell the right from the wrong When the right is protecting the wrong Be who you are But not where there are people Reality is taught Right and wrong, there is no middle We think in politics Of money and ourselves And it's hard to tell the right from the wrong When the right is protecting the wrong And it's hard to know the right from the wrong When the right is protecting the wrong |

we sing the nightingale song alive streets never border further than my eyes we sing the nightingale song alive we might be different but our hearts won't lie and little ever changes if anything at all but the song rings loudly through these halls we sing the nightingale song alive we might be different but our hearts won't lie and little ever changes when you view it from the sky and the damage we encounter the earth just passes by and little ever changes if anything at all and we remind ourselves how small we are |

Take her arms and hold her down... Until she stops moving take her arms and hold her down... until she she stops kicking And they don't know her But what the f**k They got nothing else they can do And there's no reason But still they come And I Would have a hard time facing you This crime I've seen what a man can do Take her arms and hold her down... Until she stops screaming Take her arms and hold her down... Until she stops breathing And they don't know her But what the fuck They got nothing else they can do And there's no reason But still they come And I Would have a hard time facing you This crime The shame of what a man can do I would have died From all the hell that you've been through Take the night back All they've stolen All we took from you Take the night back All they've stolen All we took from you |

don't give me answers for i would refuse
""yes"" is a word for which i have no use and i wasn't looking for heaven or hell just someone to listen to stories i tell now what is a blessing and what is a dream caught between portraits and none's what it seems and why is it people expect there's a change when i feel i'm a part of something i can't see i feel the same now don't ask me questions or i will retreat fame is a cancer and ego its seed now i wasn't looking for heaven or hell just someone to listen to stories i tell do we ever wonder? and do you ever care... subtle salvation in poems we know hiding our heads in a shadow of home now i wasn't looking for wreaths or for bells just someone to listen to stories i tell stories i tell |

Should I have believed I was still a boy
Naive and sane, protected wholly Tongue-tied and restless Breathing of futures Know me; I am not a child 'Though you have age You have not felt the pain... Should I have remained obedient and docile So far restrained The hands that hold me back Could break my bones As each one snaps I hate my home Far on my way I should know, I was born here Know me Am I just some fool? Am I far from ready? Just let me fall and I'll believe you. Chained up and pampered I strain until I crack Know me before you kill what I want to be And leave me cold Bled white And feeling old Far on my way I should know, I was born here Know me--know all I am Far on my way I was cold then I exploded Know me |

Line of people to pass you by Posing sympathy with its whitewash eyes With the ladies feigning their mourning cries And the men shaking hands: Weigh away Way away All the pictures in your mind As you're passed the thousandth time Thousandth photograph Listen to sympathetic lies As their reasons change under mourning guise With the gentlemen feigning sorrowed sighs And drinking champagne: Weigh away Way away As all the people pass and pose You hold back the tears And hold onto memories Small talk hangs like a dirty cloud Saying nothing real but deafening loud An urge to run away from the crowd And mourn all alone: Make a promise to no-one Wondering if you'd been worthwhile Turn away from the chatter And the hungry smiles |

Send "Fall Down" Ringtones to Cell
She said "I'm fine, I'm okay" cover up your trembling hands There's indecision when you know you ain't got nothing left When the good times never stay And the cheap thrills always seem to fade away When will we fall When will we fall down chorus: Jump back, got to get out of here Been too long this time Jump back, got to get out of here When will, when will we fall down She hates her life, she hates her skin, she even hates all her friends Tries to hold on to all the reputations she can't mend And there's some chance we could fail But the last time someone was always there for bail When will we fall When will we fall down chorus She said "I'm fine, I'm okay" cover up your trembling hands There's indecision when you know you ain't got nothing left For the last time conscience calls For a good friend I was never there at all When will we fall When will we fall down |

one part of me just wants to tell you everything
one part just needs the quiet and if i'm lonely here, i'm lonely here and on the telephone you offer reassurance i will not take these things for granted how can i hold the part of me that only you can carry it needs a strength i haven't found but if it's frightening, i'll bear the cold and on the telephone you offer warm asylum i'm listening flowers in the garden laughter in the hall children in the park i will not take these things for granted anymore to crawl inside the wire and feel something near me to feel this accepting that it is lonely here, but not alone and on the telephone you offer visions dancing i'm listening music in the bedroom laughter in the hall dive into the ocean singing by the fire running through the forest and standing in the wind in rolling canyons i will not take these things for granted |
