Watch an eyeball
Take a free fall At the mention of a name In its socket And like a rocket Rises just the same Could my eyelids (could my eye) Cover what I did The shuttin of the door And could these ceilings Contain my feelings Me down on the floor Jerked my fountain Ice cream mountains I suppose I'm just too late Form a line here Think I'll die here These people nauseate me But if my patience Were a spaceship High up in orbit I would rise here Hypnotized here Risen from where I sit A solid angle My legs do dangle Off the counter's edge Soft words spoken Promises broken I Close my eyes instead But could my eyelids Cover what I did The shuttin' of the door Could these ceilings Contain my feelings Me down on the floor Me down on the floor Me down on the floor Me down on the floor |

Seasons change and I have found you
Looks like you've been here a long time Looks like you're here to stay And I reason that that's O.K. When though, when will you be leaving Way up in the trees Afloat on the seas I can't afford your voice But I have no choice Your hurt drizzles forth twice nightly And I once held on to you so tightly You were made of wood And cried 'cause no one understood But I had splinters in my fingers Tears well in my eyes No surprise Washed swiftly from the sands Into my hands Into my hands Tree house, your mind is like a tree house I climb up the shaky ladder Your bird flies with you With claws of orange hue And I watch you flying over my head You could not care less So you got more Like driftwood from the shore You were rotten to the core Rotten to the core Yeah seasons change Seasons change Seasons change... |

Would not be released
Could not be denied I tried to say the words But got tripped up inside You can murder them with guns Poison them with lye You can take a person's life But you can't squelch his pride This city's not my own This world is not my home But I'll carry it on my back As far as my feet will roam I opened up my eyes I offered up my coat I opened up my mouth But knots tied in my throat And I will not be denied Will not be denied If not for innocence My guilt would stop right here Reliving all my life In the span of just one year My mouth's a hurricane But something inside just died I'd always just assumed My evil would subside Could I have been misled Could you have misread Please don't punish me For things I have not said The last's a lonely mile I'll remember it for a while You'll never speak to me Unless it's to revile But I will not be denied Will not be denied Will not be denied Will not be denied Denied Denied |

The newest clown
Cries an old type of tears Watch them fall There they lie Crispy, ancient and they leak Formaldahyde Going Going I'm gone Go away Going His tears they sit Crusty, rusted in a box Inside a drawer Grandpa's news Fragile words are yellowed through Forever more Going Going I'm gone Go away Going Sadder than sad She's feeling bad Monkey's the one who laughs last Hold me down Cut me loose when Nighttime falls And lifts away I'm a ball Bouncing off of a brick wall Into the day I'm Going Going I'm gone Go away Going I'm gone Gone I am gone I am gone Go away Going |

I don't think you care - no, no, no
And I don't like the way you stare I don't like that joke - no, no, no And I don't wanna smell like smoke I don't like that face - no, no, no And I don't wanna walk your pace But I don't like that cold Far away look I'm told But I don't think you'll find Where you have lost your mind But I don't think you know - oh How much I loved to scold you I can't make this change - no, no, no It's you that I have to blame Suppose I can't find your bones Under this broken home But I don't think you'll find Where you have lost your mind And I don't think you know - oh How much I loved to hold you But do you remember me You're my responsibility Much more than a host - oh Much more than a friendly ghost Do remember me You're my responsibility Much more than a host - oh More than a friendly ghost Do you remember me You're my responsibility Much more than a host - oh More than a friendly ghost |

She comes to me
In her prewashed bright blue jeans Bag sewn tightly Pursed lips are kissing me Back up to college Just a few miles down the road And we remember Something we've never been told Come up on dry land I've had too much to drink I'm tired and need some sleep Come September Cold mornings open up Make incisions And cut egos will erupt What did you find Hidden in your mind's deep recess When the going gets tough You and I must take a rest Come up on dry land Your coming into your own But hey that's not my fault Come up on to this dry land Won't you let me lend a hand Come up on to this dry land And when I surfaced Mountains opened up like fish Breathe through gills now And I'm making one small wish With heaven beside me There is no one can do me harm But the devil inside me At least then I can stay warm Come up on dry land She understood her fate You can't take stands too late Come up on to this dry land Won't you let me lend a hand Come up on to this dry land |

These things crawl across my floor
I can't use them anymore There's a heaven in her band Alleluias in my hand All my patience love's inside She just climbed the stage and died Lights that rose and fell again Songs that thinned out near the end Oh, her voice trailed off in the end Though your miles are more than mine The things I've taken in a bind It's for certain it's for sure I've no use for them no more Making room within one's self For another's songs to help And it all comes back to me As I walk hungover down the street Oh, and it all comes back to me And it all comes back to me And it all comes back to me And it all comes back to me As I walk hungover down the street She's a mother in disguise I look different in her skies But it's morning so I say Here's a big red letter day Her skin's like whitewash like skim milk Her words sing softly just like silk There are some things I've got to say She won't understand anyway There are miles between our hearts There's salvation in false starts I'm forsaken in the end I'm forsaken in the end I'm forsaken in the end I'm forsaken in the end... |

I suppose you've lost your patience
I'm just too gone to call Squint my eyes forget the reason But now it don't look so bad at all Suppose you left home in the morning And travelled on a train all day Passing nighttime by a greenhouse You'd still be a long way Suppose Suppose you're too far gone Suppose Suppose Looking out from in the basement I watched her walking by outside She's the bastard child of reason I lost my breath along the ride Suppose Suppose you're basement bound Suppose Suppose I love the world and all it's problems The pipes run from north to south Lots of small and dusty reasons Rehearse my part and venture out Suppose Suppose you can't care less Suppose Suppose Suppose Suppose Suppose |

The moon was full your whisky sour
Oh girl there's no need to be so dour Cause when you walk with me in the beginning of the day You see, I don't need anything that way I'm wishing things could be the same When things got broken you came My moods were always changing they were blue then brown then grey You see, I don't need anything that way You see, I don't need anything that way I'm fighting tooth and nail Against these demons in my head And no matter where I'm sleeping My history's right there in bed When things blew open you flew in And I was caught red-handed once again Was I really robbing you of the best days of your life? I'm sorry I never meant anything that way The mailman came this way today He said "No sir, I've got nothing for you today" Went outside in the morning time but I got lost along the way You see, I don't need anything that way No no I don't need anything that way Oh no I don't need anything that way I don't need anything that way, that way I don't need anything that way |
