I'm so tired in the mornings
I try to go back I try to remember The light appearing Without warning Tying up my hands Like I'm good for nothing If nothing else I can dream I can dream I'll never tell never tell All I've seen Right in front of me Like the ghost of every thing that I could be For the night sky is an ocean Black distant sea Washing up to my window All the stray dog night owl junkies Orphans vagabonds Angels who lost their halos If nothing else I can dream I can dream I'll never tell never tell All I've seen Right in front of me, Like the ghost of every thing that I could be In the cool and callous grip of reality Words in my head Like misfits after midnight Begging for a light Words left unsaid They may never see the light of day And that may be okay If nothing else I can dream |

Sitting in the rain alone
Looking at a place that's gone Boarded up my memories But something's drawn me here again and I I cannot leave the past alone Hoped that I would never find All the shit I left behind Now I find the child in me Is going to remind me that I I can't forget my past for long So take a look outside yourself And tell me what you see I can't believe That you won't see the change in me Give me strength to find the road that's lost in me Give me time to heal and build myself a dream Give me eyes to see the world surrounding me Give me strength to be only me I don't want to hear the things You say you know all you've redeemed 'Cause I can't change what's come before Build myself some better dreams And cast off the fear that holds me here So take a look outside yourself And tell me what you see 'Cause I can't believe That you won't see the change in me Give me strength to find the road that's lost in me Give me time to heal and build myself a dream Give me eyes to see the world surrounding me Give me strength to be only me |

I can't see my hands in front of my
Face on a night like this I just look back on my life And think of all I've missed I grew up south of here in towns They tore apart for coal As if to excavate the darkest Secrets of my soul So it seems Life is just a troubled sea That we sail for free Don't let me drown If the rest of the world's goin' down You've got to breathe your breath in me Everybody's story is more Interesting than mine It took me twenty-some-odd-years To see I'd been born blind So I just feel my way to you I try to keep you close I'm never very good at getting What I need the most So it seems Life is just a troubled sea That we sail for free Don't let me drown If the rest of the world's goin' down You've got to breathe your breath in me The darkest part of every night Is just before the dawn The sun begins to rise When we admit that we were wrong So here I stumble home to you To find the words to use It seems the voices in my head I seldom get to choose So it seems Life is just a troubled sea That we sail for free Don't let me drown |

I radio heaven
I get mixed signals I move the antenna I switch the channels I lie in this bed My satellite dish Is there room in the universe For one last wish (i say) Do you read me Over You wanna come Over I guess I never told you Bout this life I'm livin' It's heaven versus hell In a split decision This secret religion is The best that I've found I radio heaven When no one's around (i say) Do you need me Over You wanna come Over This song is grinning Go on and undress it It's just the beginning Go on and possess it You're no longer a child now Don't let them molest it The wound is deep I'm just trying to confess it The truth is I bleed you When these frequencies cut me I'm a slut with a mission A singular vision I radio heaven I get mixed signals I move the antenna I switch the channels I radio heaven I get mixed signals I move the antenna I switch the channels I lie in this bed My satellite dish Is there room in the universe For one last wish |

Roll me over the little blue river
Church child Roll me over the little blue river Now church child Silence and dumb tongues It's a different kind of ghetto Carry the weight (it's heavy) Of a disreputed fellow Roll me over the little blue river Church child Roll me over the little blue river Now church child Every step that you've been taking Is straying a little further south As for me I am so tired of living (babe) So hand-to-mouth Roll me over the little blue river Church child Roll me over the little blue river Now church child Hey you wanna steady that cue card Make it a billboard today Everybody's saying they want their money back Ah well baby just roll me away Out of the mouth of them babies How they can talk Best be saving your pennies Put 'em back for a very long walk Roll me over the little blue river Now church child Roll me |

In this dream
It is as easy as it seems I put you away at the end of the day In this dream There are two hands untangling The knots in my throat But they won't go away So what about you Whatever you say Why can't it be true Whatever you say But this is no dream You are the deaf ear listening I know what it means to be seen And not heard It's no dream You are the blinded eye observing Open my mouth You can finger your way to the words I'm talkin' 'bout you Whatever you say Why can't it be true Whatever you say There are some things I must let go I must let go I must let them go Just keep on tellin' me I told you so I know I know I know I know Whatever you say I fall into bed The whole horizon's turning red Writing our names with a needle and a thread Stitching the clouds As if the wounded sky had bled All of these words that will never be said Without you Whatever you say Why can't it be true Whatever you say |

Same old question
Without words So familiar Seldom heard If I answer I confess I am only Just a guess And with my eyes It's hard to see With my ears It's hard to believe that If I ever lose my will to live It was me that I could not forgive There's no savior hanging on this cross It isn't suffering we fear but loss This is closer than I ever came Just a burning moth without a flame Isaac's knife can Cut away All the poisoned Yesterdays And the anger Ease it down Into the ocean Let it drown As far as east is From the west I let you go I know it's best And my answer to the years of strife Is the way I choose to live my life There's no savior hanging on this cross It isn't suffering you fear but loss When there's no one else around to blame You're a burning moth without a flame Maybe I should take your face tonight Let you see yourself in a different light If I were to take your place tonight Wouldn't Jesus be surprised There's no savior hanging on this cross It isn't suffering we fear but loss This is closer than I ever came Just a burning moth without a flame It's an offer that you can't refuse It's a trophy that you'll want to lose But you'll do anything You're a burning moth without a flame |

It makes a difference
When you walk through a room With that worrisome smile Road weary perfume But this isn't the place And it isn't the time For this beautiful delusion That is robbing me blind I want to know I want to know Will it make a difference When I go It makes a difference That I'm feeling this way With plenty to think about And so little to say Except for this confession That is poised on my lips I'm not letting go of God I'm just losing my grip I want to know I want to know Will it keep you guessing When I go What is a love If the love's not my own This is not my home This is lonely But never alone I just want to hold you In my gaze for awhile So I can remember Every line around your smile Then I want to know I want to know Will it make a difference When I go |
