There's no train There's no boat There's no car To get you far enough There's no bus There's no plane There's no wreck To make you beg enough There's no drink There's no sleep There's no pill To keep you still enough
It's heartache weather Please remember Things are going to get worse Before they get better
There's no rope There's no nail There's no psalm To make us strong enough There's no con There's no skin There's no beauty To help you through enough
It's heartache weather Please remember Things are going to get worse Before they get better
There's no book There's no code There's no verse To make it hurt enough There's no kill There's no spark There's no script To help you live enough There's no cause There's no drum There's no breath That gets you near enough
It's heartache weather Please remember Things are going to get worse Before they get better
It's heartache weather Please remember Things are going to get worse Before they get better
Every time I watch the news I hear a symphony Every time you cough up a noose I hear a symphony Late at night when the shots are like bells I hear a symphony When disillusioned is a fragrance that sells I hear a symphony
You are not alone You are not alone I swear this burden is not your own You are not alone
In the subway of a slow dark pain I hear a symphony In the eyes of an old Polish woman on that train I hear a symphony In the echo of a muscle that fled I hear a symphony In the sheets of a big and haunted bed I hear a symphony
You are not alone You are not alone I swear this burden is not your own You are not alone
From the seagulls at the garbage dump I hear a symphony At the Ritz Carlton sanitarium I hear a symphony In the bunting of corruption and fate I hear a symphony In a language that shows your age I hear a symphony
You are not alone You are not alone I swear this burden is not your own You are not alone
In the sparkle of a young girl's eye In the exclusive footage of a suicide In the ambition of astronauts In this Eden of tinsel and rot
You are not alone You are not alone I swear this burden is not your own You are not alone
It's hardly morning, It's early January There's always something that's coming or gone Out in the dark light I go walking Into the quiet of this holy mess
But me and my lover We told each other Wherever you are That's where I'll be That's where I'll be
A head full of newsreels makes it impossible To ignore your number in some magic black box I guess I've grown weary and yes I've concluded That nothing is sacred as long as you're bored
So me and my lover We told each other Wherever you are That's where I'll be That's where I'll be
Sweet Mother Mary, so many say they've seen you But if I'm shown I promise I'll lie 'Cause most things are meaningless the more you get to know them Down here love is the only gun I trust
So me and my lover We told each other Wherever you are That's where I'll be That's where I'll be That's where I'll be, I'll be That's where I'll be, I'll be That's where I'll be That's where I'll be
When you were tired and so unsure Of all the things you wanted for When your head was like a ditch Full of junk and regret
I used to think that nothing lasts But I was wrong 'cause some things last Like the ache of watching you Of letting you sink to sunk
When the past has crawled so high That you've forgotten how you would try To be the taste on my tongue Long after you had gone
I used to think that nothing lasts But I was wrong 'cause some things last Like the ache of watching you Of letting you sink to sunk
An iron swing, an empty cage An orange sky, the room's in flames I'll leave my words where you can see Should you decide you need me Should you decide you need me
Wandering outside our old house Tragically addressed trying to coax your ghost out These are some things I'm ready to confront Some that I didn't do and some that I had done
Angry and sad over a cup of black tea Your watery eyes and perfume were choking me But I don't need to tell you how it went Except that all things beautiful are murdered in the silence
Sadly love I never really let you in I need your little hands to hold my expression 'Cause I've been cursed until the kingdom comes To always have and miss someone To always have and miss someone
It was one bedroom with dog and a thorn I remember thinking of my dad as I was walking out the door And looking back seeing the girl you never should be Heartbroke and poor, lovesick and lonely
Sadly love I never really let you in I need your little hands to hold my expression 'Cause I've been cursed until the kingdom comes To always have and miss someone To always have and miss someone
I must love leaving, I am done I have tried and all of this time I don't forget your laughter I don't forget your tears I did not burn the orchard I did not run, I crawled from you
I must love leaving, I have seen In your eyes a failing light I don't pretend to hate you I do not wish to disgrace you I'll take the flood of your secrets I'll wade in there and I'll search for you, search for you
Take these arms, take these arms All they ever held was lead and soot Take this heart, take this heart It's never worked like it should Take these legs, take these legs They are far too short on pride Take this mouth, take this mouth All it ever sold were the truest lies
I must love leaving, I am gone I retired and all of this time I don't forget your laughter I don't forget your tears I did not burn the orchard I did not run, I crawled back to you, back to you
Take these arms, take these arms All they ever held was lead and soot Take this heart, take this heart It's never worked like it should Take these legs, take these legs They are far too short on pride Take this mouth, take this mouth All it ever sold were the truest lies Take this mouth, take this mouth All it ever sold were the truest lies Take this soul, take this soul It just moans and moans and moans and cries
Your hair fell from you onto my forehead And the light came through the shade and laid on the bed My arms they wrestled your inventions While my heart was wrestling with my head Yes, my heart still wrestles with my head
Barefoot on the hardwood in the kitchen Bare feet in the front yard on the grass The summer it is setting with its stitches This love is stronger than any that has passed
But time and time only knows the answers That time and time only can reveal Yes, time and time only knows the answers And time and time only can steal Yes, time and time only can steal
But I'm not so sure of anything any more No, I'm not so sure of anything any more
Then the wind surrounded me and I surrendered It was beautiful, it was vile and I bent But when all the new familiars they had vanished It was only you and your skin that was left Yeah, only you and your skin was left
Now the days they are unwinding like an alarm clock And the drift it is as steady as it is strong And that's me fumbling with the key to your padlock And you knew it, ah you knew it all along Yeah, I knew it, you knew it along
But time and time only knows the answers That time and time only can reveal Yes, time and time only knows the answers And time and time only can steal Yes, time and time only can steal
But I'm not so sure of anything any more No, I'm not so sure of anything any more
There's always a story, a story to tell A story to sell to the news A sweet virgin princess gave death in the bathroom While her boyfriend cleaned his shoes
And gin pushed a low light to turn on his good wife When he stuck a knife in her throat And coke loves the ratings 'cause you love the horror As long as it didn't come home
Faith is weak She's running out of steam And fate is tired I'm so fed up, you're all fired Oh America, you're beautiful Yeah, you're beautiful when you're sleeping Lovers, you are loved You are loved when you're grieving
Now I am a father and I am a brother I've tried and I'm trying still Why life is so precious but piles like garbage I guess it's our passion that kills
But somewhere it's peaceful and morning is dawning All soft and warm in desire But a darkness is creeping while the news is spreading And again the world is on fire
Faith is weak She's running out of steam And fate is tired I'm so fed up, you're all fired Oh America, you're beautiful Yeah, you're beautiful when you're sleeping Lovers, you are loved You are loved when you're grieving
