| Everything |
Sun in water
Is liquid diamond
Wind in leaves
Is whispering peace
I can see
Everything is beautiful
but me
Nature’s green and grey
People smile
God did the whole thing in style
From my bedroom I can see
Everything is beautiful
but me
Ocean’s waves
Coral caves
Poet’s skies
Lover’s lies
Young men’s eyes
Sand and seals
Everything is beautiful
Except for how I feel
Your lips
Your hips
Your touch
Your kiss
Sand and seals
Everything is beautiful
Except for how I feel
Everything is beautiful
But me

| Nothing |
No thing
There’s no thing
There’s nothing
It’s a dark place
Only a shadow maybe
It’s a lost time
No time
I am falling
I am coming baby
It’s only nothing
It’s fine
Dying is easy
Just stop breathing
It’s living that kills me
Kills me
He’s a father
He could be a child somehow
He’s a small man
No man
And there’s no one
You are no one now
There’s this strange sound
No sound
Dying is easy
Just stop breathing
It’s living that kills me
Kills me
Dying is easy
Won’t you try it with me
It’s living that kills me
Kills me

| Fracture |
I’m breaking myself down
Over what you said
I’m pushing me around
Making myself mad
Tying my hands up
Over what you did
Breaking myself down
'Til the final bit
Never gonna stop
Giving myself up
Making myself bleed
Over what you need
Breaking myself down
'Til the final bone
Wanna go on
'Til I’m all gone
Tying my hands up
Over what you said
Breaking myself down
Making myself mad
Breaking myself down
'Til the final bone
Wanna go on
'Til I’m all gone
Breaking myself down
Over what you said
Pushing me around
Making myself mad
Breaking myself down
'Til the final bone
Wanna go on
'Til I’m all gone
Breaking myself down
'Til I’m all through
Making myself bleed
That’s what I’m gonna do
Breaking myself down
'Til I’m all through
Making myself bleed
Then I start with you

| Pride |
Just a matter of time
If it matters at all
It don’t matter to me
Now I know what I know
What’s the matter with you
Just a matter of trust
Are you angry with me
Does it matter that much
No matter why
No matter how
I know I’ve tried
I know better now
Just the quicker in time
You can see, you can think
The sooner you’ll know
When I hit, just to blink
What’s the matter with me
Did you hurt me that much
Did you make me believe
You could heal with your touch
No matter why
No matter how
You know you’ve tried
You know better now
With the coming of age
With the passing of time
When what matters, matters
And new matters intertwine
What’s the matter with us
All we have is our pride
That don’t matter you see
So just stay here tonight
No matter why
No matter how
We know we’ve tried
We know better now
|
| Seconds |
Just don’t say a word
Come sit turn out the light
I know the dogs are outside
But here we can hide
It’s a long night
And I wonder how we’ll survive
But it’ll be okay
One day
Clock ticks
Seconds turn to seconds more
And new ones, and new ones again
And new ones
You know there’s no end
It’s a long time
And I wonder how we’ll survive
But it’ll be okay
One day
So days are days
Nights are nights
Just hang on, it’ll be all right
See if you can find my hand
See if you can hold tight
Cos it’s a long life
And I wonder if we’ll survive
But it’ll be okay
One day
|
| You and me |
It’s in the things you say between your words
They’re true but they’re not
It’s you but it’s not
I know it’s hard to believe
And that’s what makes it true
I’ve stopped listening to you
It’s all about the way you stare at me
I know that you see
Just don’t know who you see
I know it’s hard to believe
That’s just what makes it true
I’ve stopped looking at you
And all that I remember is your touch
It’s strange isn’t it
It doesn’t seem that much
I know it’s hard to believe
That’s just what makes it true
I’ve forgotten all about you

| Precious |
Makes love
Makes happiness
Makes sadness
Your body that glows and your voice in my ear
The sweet of your laughter the salt of your tear
Our window, our music the sounds that I hear, all that
Makes happiness scarier than fear
Your eyes sometimes wonder
Your words come too late
I’m pulling my hair out each second I wait and you know I’m right
You seem to know everything but you don’t know faith
That’s what makes love harder than hate
Nothing to loose is nothing to miss
Bad is good if you know what it is and you know I’m right
The time before or after a kiss
Makes sadness easier than bliss

| Candles & needles |
Why don’t you come over
Got ten kinds of roses
Got candles and needles
Got poison and wine and all things fine
Why don’t you come over
I’m waiting here baby
(I’m wasting my time now)
I’m waiting all day now
(You’re wasting my time now)
I’m tired and I’m bored
And I won’t be ignored
Why don’t you come over
You can’t have forgotten
Down there I’m all rotten
I don’t even know if I’m me
You’ll see
If you come over
When you come over
Just come a little closer
There

Not all bright
Not all dark
Everyone knows this
The one you love is the one you hate
Untill it all starts over
Not all true
Not all false
Not even close
Daddy does his best
but knows less and less and less
and less
Always mix your colours with a little grey
Always add some dirt to your clay
Always put a chill to your heat
Never know
Always doubt
Never do
Please repeat
Not all straight
Not all bend
Not even shaped
Not just here
Not just there
Anywhere
No design
No coincidence, my friend
Daddy takes a guess
but knows less and less and less
and less real fast.
Always mix your colours
With a little grey
Always add some dirt to your clay
Always put a chill to your heat
Never know, always doubt, never do
Please repeat after me
Please repeat after me
Boo

| The odd one in |
So sue me if I like a good flood
Shipwrecked cars, wet concrete
A forest fire
A hurricane
Wild animals running down the street
Well curse me if I say your peace of mind is too fine
I like mine scary
I like my things
Just a little out of the ordinary
So condemn if you will my view
When I see this picture of the sky
I know it’s the best you can do
But I see no mixture
No dark clouds
No wonder why
What’s wrong with this picture
Is that my mouth’s too big
My eyes too weary
That’s cause I like my things
Just a little out of the ordinary
The day after would be as awful as it would be beautiful
A ghost town
All the lights are on
But you wonder where all the people have gone
A graveyard or a haunted house
You know ordinary can be so dreary
So excuse the hell out of me
If I like my things strange, rare or eerie
Or at least
A little out of the ordinary
Just a little out of the ordinary
Please a little out of the ordinary

| Guts |
Does it make you feel big now
To scream loud at me
Does it make you feel tough now
Well you do not impress me
So just scream a little louder baby
Maybe then I’ll hear ya
Punch a little harder
Maybe then you’ll
Touch me
Do you think you’re someone?
Think you scare me
You better just go on
I can’t hear you baby
So scream a little louder baby
For me to hear ya
Punch a little harder maybe
I’ll bleed right on ya
If you just kick somebody
Maybe that releaves you
Blow someone’s brain out
You don’t care who
Or scream a little louder
I cannot quite hear ya
Impress a little better
I do not quite fear ya
Punch a little harder baby
I’ll bleed right on ya
Just punch a little harder baby
My guts are on you
My brain is on you
My pain is on you
And shame upon you

| Vertigo |
Falling, falling
God I fear falling
Like no one else
Like nothing I know
Fear of falling
is fear of flying
Flying, flying
Wish I was flying
But I can feel myself
slipping again
And fear of falling
Is fear of flying
Fear of falling
is fear of flying
