You bounce against my rectangular light
I fall asleep inside your spherical night And dream about coming together again As a fist comes from an open hand And how the tide crashes on morning sand And you say Hey I don't understand You and your big city secret Big city secret How come we dance What makes us dance A fist thrown against fear's menacing face His blackened eyes become the dreams that you chase Blood on your lip is like chaos you taste It washes over you in some dramatic rush And on the diving board you can feel him push So you say Hey I don't understand You and your big city secret Big city secret How come we dance What makes us dance How come we dance What makes us dance I jump in the magnitude of your smile leap from the board of my last chance Splash in the sea of your damnation As you remind me of your past Darling I thank you for this dance You say Hey I don't understand You and your big city secret Big city secret How come we dance What makes us dance How come we dance How come we dance How come we dance How come we dance |

She wrote her name with a heart
Inside his birthday card Right beside the PS which read Please don't think I'm devious It's not that obvious In fact it's more of a mess You're what I find most beautiful But you're also what makes me the ugliest So i'm taking away all of the love I ever gave to you I think you should've known It was only ever on a loan And i'm running away I found myself a hiding place I've been uncomfortable looking in your eyes They always see right through my face And if you find your eyes You hunt me down 'Cause if I find my eyes I'll hunt you down And if you find your voice You hunt me down 'Cause if I find my voice I'll hunt you down He wrote his name with her heart On the back of a postcard Right beside the PS which read Please don't think this is malicious But ever since you left me I am a mess You made me happiest And now I'm lonely cause there was only you Touching your skin was like a showel through the ground I had no idea what I found A crown You crown me king Made me lion in your ring Training me with your see-through treasure And bribing me with your guilty pleasure You teach me how most things have no measure |

I squeeze the last bit of you
Out of a bottle of your old shampoo It smells just like you Now I do too Rinse out my hair and wipe my eyes As your soap rolls in between my toes Dry myself off in the moonlight And I can touch you Every time I breath in through my nose I wish that I had faith in you I watched you breath into a heartbreak The night we first held hands Your eyes they switched from blue to green Then they went back to being blue again You say you never get to sleep 'Cause all your dreams are buried in the sand I could barely hear you crying Over the buzz of our electric fan I wish that I had faith in you You're a tether ball Fastened to the end of my head Who you are and who you want to be Are competing at opposite ends And when they hit you back and forth You squeeze tight around my neck Darling I can barely breath But I know that you mean Absolutely no disrespect I wish that I had faith in you |

You must destroy
All who you employ To protect your last invention Work hard its destruction Ignore your good intention You must ignore the wrong voice Whose voice A peculiar choice Well I'm sure You and I can't remember Living like a backwards trainwreck trying to disguise the deceit Intrinsic in our step When love's got us by the neck Why can't we just surrender I'll be quiet I won't wake you up Don't whine Drink wine Like terpentine Cleaning out your inside in line From your toes up through your spine Pretend you're a conductor Maestro without music God without man Me without you Holding your hand Falling like a leaf Crying like a man We silently confess through open eyes Setting fire to the web spun right behind In my mind's a spider And in your heart's a fly When you're meek you are malicious Somehow still suspicious Faithlessly religious |

My daddy beat his love into me Now I don't care about sticks or strones The name he called me brake my bones Put my daddy on prozac I don't think I want him back Make me feel dangerous I was raised in a family They look like the enemy to me And when you're raised in captivity Don't you know you never get free Put my daddy on prozac I don't think I want him back Make me feel dangerous |

You're the dessert brought burning in Bourbon
To smiles & glazy widening eyes Extinguished by the breeze of hungry applause and the grabbed forks shine Awake enough to see quivering lips reach toward your soft sweet heart Now loosening flesh in spit of grinding teeth Still trying to distinguish yourself from a ghost Engulfed by the smile of swallowing |

It's monday morning
You miss yesterday Tomorrow's coming again So fast it's already today You'll never get put down Growing into your face Moving to New York City You got a line on getting paid And you got two eyes that you always shade Chaos and beauty Trying to stay together on a razor blade Always trying to prove you're being saved When they ask you what's your church You say I dance When they say whatever happened to you You say I never had a chance I'm an open book Come in take a look at me I'm a boat that won't float Out at sea And when I try to compete for a seat On a more expensive train In the end you find out The pain's the same as when the train was plain You're never giving in And you're sure you will win As soon as you know how to begin And with spite you scream I'm moving my scene Away from all you backwards marching human beings And that includes you 'Cause I know what you seem to see And that includes you 'Cause I don't feel good about me Good about me around you |

Your eyes are as big as a quarter when they're shining
Your fingers reach down in my stomach lining Your voice sounds just like an alley cat is crying I got the feeling you have never once stopped trying to undress me You make yourself into a mirror to reflect me I see my eyes are shallow stones In a prison made of bones Wrapped in a bag of skin Highlighted by the lines of repetition That all my fear's been carving Haunted eyes Sing in secret And your haunted eyes Are huge and empty And your haunted eyes Flutter just like butterfly wings And your haunted eyes They always watch you breathing Drenching thunder rolls right by me I'm only visible when you're beside me And what I can't possess still remains inside of me Its violence coming out of your mouth now Is at once menacing and hard to see Oh but finally I think I see That you are fat and you are flat You are a star in a jar You're a monster with nothing who's been chewing On the worm your best friend your pet fish was pursuing Haunted eyes Flutter just like butterfly wings And your haunted eyes They always watch you breathing You're the only witness so if you die I don't think I'm considered guilty of this crime I take it to bed with me each and every night The guilt wakes me up and shades my morning light 'Cause people break In fact I helped you to destruct I'll say anything you want but I can't reconstruct You only tell more lies in a darker shade of white Hurry up and punish me so I can feel alright Forever, if ever, only ever, never And your haunted eyes Sing in secret And your haunted eyes Are huge and empty And your haunted eyes Flutter just like butterfly wings And your haunted eyes They always watch you breathing |

Marina coming off of methadone
Kickin and dreamin And she's sleeping and screaming Watching 90210 She'll be yelling at the screen Until the late night show I don't believe I'm alive she said Everyday has something new Aw baby with the moon I lie And with the sun I will rise It's all there in her eyes You don't know how hard I try Each time that Marina cries It's like she's got no disguise Marina is a human bicycle She's riding in the park Riding after dark Spinning her wheels to make a psark Hoping to change her blame into a plague She plays guitar She dreams and sings She writes a song about what it means That she never feels Much like a human being |

A porcupine
Crawling out from inside of your mind Like you growing a crown of thorns But you're no messiah You think more like a spider 'cause guilty hearts beat upside down Silver hubcaps replcaed your eyes As you went spinning on a daydream down Forgiving the road every inch for miles If your tyres survive You know your heart will explode And if this song was a sponge Soaked in your blood Well then I guess the story would be told A fateful day You became a spider As I fed you blood from my nose Now you're just like me |

I prayed to god from hell
Run like a midnight bell Dancing naked in these streets Thought i was jesus christ As i dug out my eyes And threw them past the prison gates So i still can't explain What i had to do To try and make it Since your red lips turned blue Now i'm a hunted man Sining the song you sung Wearing the noose from which you hung I guess we lost the war The air i breathed before Only fill the dead man's lungs So i still can't explain What i had to do To try and make it Since your red lips turned blue The devil is the lord Of this confusing world Where all the wrong dreams come true I never needed light I never felt like i was right Did not deserve the love i knew So i still can't explain What i had to do To try and make it Since your red lips turned blue |

Don't know why I'm still afraid
If you weren't real I would make you up now I wish that I could follow through I know that your love is true And deep As the sea But right now Everything you want is wrong, And right now All your dreams are waking up, And right now I wish I could follow you To the shores Of freedom, Where no one lives. Remember when we first met And everything was still a bet In love's game You would call; I'd call you back And then I'd leave A message On your answering machine But right now Everything is turning blue, And right now The sun is trying to kill the moon, And right now I wish I could follow you To the shores Of freedom, Where no one lives Freedom Run away tonight Freedom, freedom Run away Run away tonight We're made out of blood and rust Looking for someone to trust Without A fight I think that you came too soon You're the honey and the moon That lights Up my night But right now Everything you want is wrong, And right now All your dreams are waking up, And right now I wish that I could follow you To the shores Of freedom Where no one lives Freedom Run away tonight Freedom freedom Run away Run away tonight We got too much time to kill Like pigeons on my windowsill We hang around Ever since I've been with you You hold me up All the time I've falling down But right now Everything is turning blue, And right now The sun is trying to kill the moon, And right now I wish I could follow you To the shores Of freedom Where no one lives |

I don't know where we've been
Could you tell me where we are again? And Jesus is my only friend No one else knows who I am I know I'll never make it on the cross Spent my days looking for what my daddy lost He was too proud to have a boss Sold himself out then he couldn't afford the cost No one knows how he felt Hung himself in the county jail There were those who said he would burn in hell I don't think they knew him very well Angel of love Shine a light on us I was born to be Redemption's son Angel of love Shine a light on us I was born to be Redemption's son Forgive us for what we've done, Lord Forgive us for what we've done I don't know were we are Fearful eyes don't see very far Drivin' in my daddy's car Ashtray full of his cigars Is it real what I see... His ghost ridin' next to me? 'Till he's gone I won't be free From the burden of his misery I know I'll never make it on the cross Spent my days looking for what my daddy lost He was too proud to have a boss Sold himself out then he couldn't afford the cost All over the neighborhood Mostly he was misunderstood In his heart the bad beat the good Used to be a time I'da killed him if I could Angel of love Shine a light on us I was born to be Redemption's son Angel of love Shine a light on us I was born to be Redemption's son Forgive us for what we've done, Lord Forgive us for what we've done, Lord Forgive us for what we've done.......... |

Your holiness is gone
Sometimes love will make you swear Until you know where you belong You'll dream of what you never had Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ... You can feel the falling leaves Filling up our vacant lives When I fall onto my knees I pray you don't leave me behind Summertime is over I don't owe you nothing When you say you're leaving I want you to hold on Summertime is over I don't owe you nothing Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ... You see September's sun Sinking in the autumn sky If you want me to be gone I've left already in my mind Summertime is over I don't owe you nothing When you say you're leaving I want you to hold on Summertime is over I don't owe you nothing |

Couldn't make it up as we go along
I don't have any words to put into your song Looking through the junkyard of your heart I need to find an engine for my car Don't know where you are Don't know where you are When I drive When I drive around the bend Singing bye bye bye bye... And though I really tried, I never have been good And for my missing heart, I carve one out of wood Now I see the termites crawling into me After they are finished, I wonder where you'll be I wonder where you'll be I wonder where you'll be When I drive When I drive around the bend Singing bye bye bye bye... You never have been young You never have been sane And if you say that you don't care, In your eyes I see the shame Looking through the window of your mind I see your lonely shadow running out of time Running out of time Running out of time When I drive When I drive around the bend Singing bye bye bye bye... |

Against my will My medicine Won't let me feel Anything at all The doctor gave me sleeping pills And I took one Then I feel all alone Sleeping like a stone And babe You were the light But now You are the dark But dream about the autumn leaves And you were one Falling in the sun Where are you now? A tv burns A hollow room I cleaned it up And now I don't know what to do I'm just lying down And babe You were the light And now You are the dark I guess I live Up in my head I call you up But my phone is dead And now it's too much The doctor said I need a cure But what I got He's not really sure And I won't say much And babe You were the light And now You are the dark And babe You were the light And now You are the dark |

I'll be silent in my solitude
Can't fight my smile Or my gratitude I'm afraid of what I might do 'Cuz there's no me if there's no me and you I wish that I could open up your eyes To feel the sun that burns in your mind I can't deal with what you have done Reincarnate I wonder who I might become Without potential I'm already gone I could be as fresh as hard bubblegum I don't have nothing now I want me some First some of you Then some of everyone Oh darling since you've been away from me I know how the pins fill In the bowling alley They say love is something you feel but never see When I see you I finally disagree I'm just trying to be all that I can be Without destroying you now Or joining the army Your ashes must be blowing everywhere 'Cuz I can seem to feel you And you're nowhere near And though you didnt say so I can tell that you still care We could have had it all But then, nothing is fair I still think about washing your hair I wish I could wash away all of your despair |

Changing the way I am I don't know where I been But I was well behaved I don't know who you are Coming out of my scar Driving my crashing car That needs a coat of paint Chemical Up and up away I go Out of my head I'm putting myself in jail I'm hoping to see you fail I'm flipping my head and tail Over I don't know the way Over I'm throwing up what I drank No one here I would thank I feel like a shark that's caught In a goldfish tank Swallowing a thousand pills Trying to change how I feel There's just to much time to kill Between all my mistakes Chemical Up and up away I go Out of my head |

You're putting poison here And now you're a cockroach Crawling on bones Pretending your war Has already been won You never give anything To any human being Unless they Give you something in return If you get burned You're gonna burn And when you finally go away I'm already gone And when you finally say what you say I'm singing this song Your heads in quite a fix The demon you never resist is coming And he's leaning against your front door The neighbors are asking you what it's all for And still you could never admit That maybe you could have prevented destruction As it came out of your very core My friend you are starting to become a bore And when you finally go away I'm already gone And when you finally say what you say I'm singing this song |

I got a god in my head
Tells me that I'm crazy Got a god in my head Telling me I'm crazy An angry little god punching on my skull Another little god Tells me that I'm lazy A useless piece of shit with no love to give at all now And the smallest god up there Thinks that I'm the greatest Tells me no one else could be as good as me. I listen to them all, I was a disc jockey to consequences Little propagandist selling misery I build a cocoon I got to get away A shirt made out of wood and glue and crack and then some paint(????) No one see ya down there and no one's getting in I got a needle, a pack, a satchel, and a quart of country gin I drink and shoot and smoke until the only voice I hear Is the one telling me those other people, don't let anybody near No don't let anybody near (x4) And now the telephone is ringing, the walls are falling down The city birds are singing, my soul's nowhere around I have made myself a monster I have damned myself again I have eaten all my children, I have tightened up my skin I'm a walking crucifixion, I'm a fucked-up memory Consumed in all that's left, I'm my mother's misery I'm sucking on Satan's tit She's milking me her pussy flower I drink until I'm convinced there's no place left to go You know there's no place left to go (x4) So I drink until the pain is dry I know it never is Sometimes though, I guess I think that I'm the best Until the morning after when I wake up with the guilt Of burning down all the things my sacred hands have built And throwing out all the love you know I never felt Yeah, you know I never felt (x4) Let's make our tortured Romeo's Personal help can be unique You bring it on yourself Burn out when you might peak The Holy Ghost is exiled from your heart and from your soul If you control it it's no fun, and if it's fun you've lost control Your past is plagiarism your symbols have dried up Your corruption's as confused As old lovers that you dug Like some hidden toxic fume Your soul dissipates In the ozone of guilty acts with motive All the things you hate There's bodies dancing, crazed Sexual heat Crazy in an orgy The way starving people eat Regrets weight overwhelms, and tired bodies fall Bankrupt from the beaten Let's split one more eight-ball Blue as beggars, beaten, bleeding Tired eyes made of rust And we all know when it gets like this there's no one you can trust No no there's no one you can trust(x4) Some say the solution's locked in the sweat-box I wouldn't know I've never been there, I sold my keys to get a rock We sing along to forgotten AM radio stations And drink expensive wine, toast the friends that we left hanging Like prisoners in conceit We heard through the cracks I know for sure don't trust no one who says' they've got you back The windows all explode Outside the noise pollution booms Everyone's now hidden like cockroaches in dark rooms I've been brought back from the dead before, so anything can happen Obsessed with tragic antics, down and out like Eric Clapton These are my wild years, I'm trying to enjoy the pain The euphoria of dying Toxins wrestle in my brain We've all been leaders of corruption We've all been spiders on the wall Waiting for a hand to smash us or the doom of light to fall Is this guilt of just self-hatred Runnin' wild, uncontained Leaking from a broken soul Is this creation or a stain Is this creation or a stain... |

It seems like it was a lifetime ago We said our goodbye with tears And promised to not let the years get away But that's something you just had to say In my pain, is where I've tattooed your name Was it a dream? Was it a dream? Going round and round and round and round Your heart Jeremy said he saw you out on 2nd Ave. And you looked like you could use some sleep You told him you sobered up But now you are giving that up, 'cause sometimes Love isn't stronger than wine In my pain, is where I've tattooed your name Was it a dream? Was it a dream? Going round and round and round and round Your heart I wonder what you must think about me What I heard is you consider me dead I guess that's fair on you I never was good to you, I'm ashamed For making you feel all my pain When I sleep, sometimes I still think we speak Is it a dream? Is it a dream? Going round and round and round and round My heart |

Get me back at the sense that I used to have Waking up in the sun my face down on the pavement Everything that I own in a garbage bag Where are you? What did I do? Why can't you see? You mean everything to me...to me Waking up in the tank, disorderly break-up And no one here will even tell me what I did With the guilt and the shame completely vacant It's hard to stay alive when you don't know how to live Where are you? What did I do? Why can't you see? You mean everything to me...to me Since you've gone ain't nobody else gonna save me Cause I can't trade a bottle for an empty room I just pray that the lord is gonna come down and take me Sweep me off the floor with the devil's broom Where are you? What did I do? Why can't you see? You mean everything to me...to me |

Get me back at the sense that I used to have Waking up in the sun my face down on the pavement Everything that I own in a garbage bag Where are you? What did I do? Why can't you see? You mean everything to me...to me Waking up in the tank, disorderly break-up And no one here will even tell me what I did With the guilt and the shame completely vacant It's hard to stay alive when you don't know how to live Where are you? What did I do? Why can't you see? You mean everything to me...to me Since you've gone ain't nobody else gonna save me Cause I can't trade a bottle for an empty room I just pray that the lord is gonna come down and take me Sweep me off the floor with the devil's broom Where are you? What did I do? Why can't you see? You mean everything to me...to me |

from Joseph Arthur - Honey And The Moon [Radio Edit] [single] (2007)
Don't know why I'm still afraid
If you weren't real I would make you up now I wish that I could follow through I know that your love is true And deep As the sea But right now Everything you want is wrong, And right now All your dreams are waking up, And right now I wish I could follow you To the shores Of freedom, Where no one lives. Remember when we first met And everything was still a bet In love's game You would call; I'd call you back And then I'd leave A message On your answering machine But right now Everything is turning blue, And right now The sun is trying to kill the moon, And right now I wish I could follow you To the shores Of freedom, Where no one lives Freedom Run away tonight Freedom, freedom Run away Run away tonight We're made out of blood and rust Looking for someone to trust Without A fight I think that you came too soon You're the honey and the moon That lights Up my night But right now Everything you want is wrong, And right now All your dreams are waking up, And right now I wish that I could follow you To the shores Of freedom Where no one lives Freedom Run away tonight Freedom freedom Run away Run away tonight We got too much time to kill Like pigeons on my windowsill We hang around Ever since I've been with you You hold me up All the time I've falling down But right now Everything is turning blue, And right now The sun is trying to kill the moon, And right now I wish I could follow you To the shores Of freedom Where no one lives |

from Long Way Down [ost] (2008)
I never sleep
I been awake for what feels like a year 'cause when I dream My mind puts a face To each one of my fears I'm exhausted by my imagination I close my eyes But I could still see the pain on your face It's your disguise You put your heart and soul on a plate I'm exhausted by my imagination The walls are bleeding cause I'm hallucinating Beneath the wheel I cannot slow it's rotation down I got to get away from here But there's nowhere I can go Everyone I recognize looks at me like I am lost Walking down these dire streets I thought I heard you call my name But it's only in my head Or maybe it was just your ghost Up in the sky The clouds are dirty so soon it will rain I lost my mind After you told me that you went insane I'm a victim of my imagination These walls are talking but I'm hallucinating Beneath the wheel that will not slow it's rotation down Down Down in my head (? ) I got to get away from here But there's nowhere I can go Everyone I recognize Looks at me like I'm a ghost Walking down these dying streets I thought I heard you call my name But it was only in my mind You were never there at all |
