The same blood
I suppose
Breaking jars
I'll know because
'Cause I brought it up, son

And I know that you're mesmerized
You had a vision, made these laws
And sanitized, are we above his aisles
I miss him so

You are so f**ked
It has begun
Revolution crawled
All over you
Is this me?

You light up this sky
Excrete conscious scum
Your lovely face
Will never be claimed thrice

It was so unlikely doom
Upon my wrists I bear the cross
My losses mount as I climb
Across the home
Of my own soul

I'll claim the prize
I don't exist
I am divine
A ghost with eyes

The Aeroplane Flies High

Love is a sentimental heart
Life is a sentimenatl way
Spy the fragile heart so cursed
As he walks across this earth
I'm disconnected by your smile
Disconnect a million miles
And what you promised me
I hope will set you free
I'm disconnected by your smile
And all I gave to you is lost
And all you took from me is lost
Black wings carry me so high
Up to meet you in the sky
I'm disconnected by your smile
Disconnect a million miles
And what you promised me
I hope will set you free
I'm disconnected by your smile
Wishing you were real to me
Wishing I could make believe
I'll take my secrets to the grave
Safely held beneath the waves
Always knew I couldn't save
Always knew I couldn't save you

Because You Are

Because you are
Because you are
Because you are
Because you are
Because you are

I've got the trauma to stay
Because you are
I scar the stranger, betray
All of my senses ashamed
I will deny all that i am afraid
Lies will disguise
Rules of time and endgames

Because you are
Because you are
Because you are
Because you are
Because you are

I chew the rust off my face
Because you are
I wipe the stain off my haze
Because you are
I am released, born of age
Because you are
I stare inside empty faith

I will deny all that i am afraid
Lies will disguise
Rules of time and endgames
Because you are

Because you are
Because you are
[?]
Because you are
Because you are
Rinse the scars off my skin
Because you are
I touch the scars of your skin
Because you are
I let the travel begin
Because you are
I let the travel begin
Because you are
I let the travel begin

Slow Dawn

midnight people
rushing for a downtown train
watching and wasting away

their hearts beat free
cool frequency
and i don't know what it is

i'm gonna run the slow dawn
squeaking sigh, oh so faint
i'm gonna run the slow dawn awake

it's blessed undone
the songbirds are wrong
and i'm not sure what it is
but i'm sure that i can give
awake the slow dawn

slow dawn moves by my side
teach your silent sleep
slow dawn

the midnight people
washing down here, wasting way
they're gonna run the slow dawn awake
the slow dawn awake
the slow dawn awake
the slow dawn awake

Believe

Close your eyes until the sunlight dies
In your head a thousand stars
Thru the darkness I see a light
And if they steal your life your heart is still mine
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song you sing a truth there's no other
I want to believe in you dear
On sunday
There's a life I hide
Well I tried to disguise
And I can take you a million miles away
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song you sing a truth there's no other
I want to believe in you dear
On sunday
I made amends for all my mistakes
May god speed be with you
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song you sing a truth
A lover
I want to believe in you and I heard you

My Mistake

we're so young
and we're so dumb
we don't register calculations
and if you dare
and should i care
i could destroy you
and take you there

as the spitfires begin their descent
and tragic romantic ascent
my love is one hundred percent

come back to me, my mistake
come back to me, my mistake
come back to me, my mistake
mistake, it was all my mistake

so suck me through
your saliva screws
and i can't help myself if i don't know
the flaws in you
that were equal to
the mysteries of almost knew

and i've said this so many, many times
can't help you out of your mind
so please don't judge me a time

come back to me, my mistake
come back to me, my mistake
come back to me, my mistake

and if you pretend
please try to offend everyone

we share the same monkey disease
so give me my grape of peace
and do what you want as you please

come back to me, my mistake
come back to me, my mistake
come back to me, my mistake

Marquis in Spades

And I'd love you to notice I'm devoted
To destroy for no one
Now it's that time again to take revenge
On all the debutantes and their friends
The bitter charlamagnes so self absorbed
The bodily remains such a bore
Was I good enough to break you
And all I see is empty
Cause now I'm one of them
So adored
The slink of impotence that money can afford
We know who you are and where you live
Is your innocence all that you can give
Was I good enough to break you
In the back of the car the angel dust was given back to the stars
And in this fall from grace
We'll meet again another time another place
I've been deep down in you let's see where we can go
Angel
Barbed wire
F**k you
Desire

Here's to the Atom Bomb (alt)

away to the side you move your head
gravity fingers dig in your back
the strangest man won't let you breathe
rocking on you in a movie scene

his words fill your mouth
his guests bleed sick
devoid of touch
he lets out to the streets where you were raised
sittin' home waiting for the coming age
you had to wait your turn
you had to wait your turn

wake up early, wash up late
satellites connect you to your hate
your patience grows but your skin is thin
the pager signals they're coming in
through the hole in the wall
you left a hole in the wall

here's to the atom bomb
may everyone find a way to get on

a little piece of heaven is all you seek
in the same old re-run week after week
their faces make you want to kill
their little piece of heaven singin' on the windowsill

no lights can turn you on
pixelate the night
reading the words
of your eyes on the streets where you were born
sittin' home waiting for the coming dawn
near the hole in the wall
you left a hole in the wall

Sparrow

narrow marrow
silent sparrow
secret serpentine smile
distant crying child

you're my lost little love
you're my lost little one

urgent arrow
arcane echo
my, my, my have we thrown
together apart
and together again

we will scatter friends
like the whistling wind
you can see me wave
same, i'm the same

but if i did
and i meet you there
you'll hold my hand
pretend you understand
that i'm just one man
still a boy perhaps
simple silent humble human being

we will scatter friends
like the whistling wind
you can see me wave
same, i'm the same

and eiffel towers
and distant isles
and ocean miles
and mountain wilds
and film stars
and restless charge
moving roaring
soaring gone, gone, gone

and with built-in lion ears
i can hear you now

Waiting (Adore outtake)

please drive slow
i've never been this way before
violence reels in the underground

yes, i am waiting
in silence throne
to fill the meetings
to strike me down
no more a reason
than god above
let your curses run
yes, i am waiting
for your love
for your love

radio waves of a dying sun
radio speaks my soul alone
forget my names, erase the page
and dinners draw the passengers
yes, i am waiting
in silence throne
my blood of treason
my tears of home
no more a feeling
than being cold
of playing on
yes, i am waiting
as i walk your street
yes, i am waiting
as i ride your dreams
yes, i am waiting
inside your doubts
inside your doubts
just let me out
just let me out

Saturnine

the clever make the world weary
to pull it from its moorings
to fawn the young wicked roost
to weather the coming storms

they are inside now
they are inside
they are inside now
saturnine

how i love to waste your time
saturnine
saturnine

goodbye all you widows
tearstained underneath
blessed to the many
who are seeking some relief

they are inside
they are inside now
they are inside
they are inside
you'll always run
but you cannot find
saturnine

saturnine
saturnine
you were waiting all this time
saturnine
saturnine

camera take this picture
the wreckage is outside
quick may you hurry
we are losing our light

we are inside now
we are inside
we are inside
you'll always run
but you'll never find
saturnine

saturnine
how i'd love to make you mine
saturnine
saturnine

to the ages i am speaking
to the creatures i am sky
bloody simple features
everyone chooses sides

shatter this faith broken
walk these summer miles
leave here while forgotten
carrying forth this child
saturnine

Rock On!

Hey kids, rock and roll
Rock on
Hey kids, it's no use
Sleepin'
Showtime, summertime blues
Jump up and die in your blue suede shoes
Hey kids, rock and roll
We're gonna rock on

Where do we go from here
Which is the way that's clear

Still looking for that blue jean baby queen
Prettiest girl I've ever seen
See her die on my movie screens
Every day

Rock on (x4)

Hey kids, rock and roll
Rock on
Cool my soul
Hey kids, it's no use
Dreamin'
Lost out, cracked out
Find out what it's all about
Hey kids, rock and roll
We're gonna rock on

Where do we go from here
Which is the way that's clear
(x2)

Still lookin' for that blue jean baby queen
Prettiest girl I've ever seen
See her die on my movie screens
Every day

Rock on (x8)

Hey kids, rock and roll (x2)
Rock on (x6)

Rock on (x6)
Hey kids, rock and roll
Rock on
Hey kids, rock on
Hey kids, rock and roll
Rock on (x3)

Set the Ray to Jerry

Born to please every simple need
I stand alone in my thoughts indeed
Hate you
For ever making me
I'm in you
I'm your anything
I want you and I need you
All you are is brand new
And I need you
Come to me
Let me hold you still
I'm so tired
Just as tired as you
Take me for anyone
But me
All that you feel is never true
I want you and I need you
All you are is brand new
And I need you
When you say that you are
Forever my star
Could never ever let you go
And never let you know
Let roar these fears
To the whore of my tears
Pure as a lie
I pour to your eyes
Suck you
Like the sap from a tree
Honey from the dew
From the bumblebees
I want you
And I need you
And all you are is brand new
And I need you
When you say that you are
Forever my star
I'll never let go
Never let you know

Winterlong

and if I fall
into you all
will my rain
cease and dissolve?
some come to harm
others to grace
so let my friends fly
under these wings

we’re giving it up to the sun
we’re giving it up to the moon
we’re giving it up to the earth
we’re giving it up from our own

knowin’ there’s nowhere to run
knowin’ there’s not much to lose
sometimes it seems so long
since you had a chance to refuse

we built a fire
winterlong
transformed new wire
winterlong
i was the first one
i was the last one to be strong

and if I fall
into you all
will the silence
shatter and stall?
some feel movement
others stand still
so let the moment
become my will

we’re giving it up to the sun
we’re giving it up to the moon
we’re giving it up to the earth
we’re giving it up from our owns

knowin’ there’s nowhere to run
knowin’ there’s not much to lose
so why does it take so long
to find out who is who

we built a fire
winterlong
transformed new wire
winterlong
i was the first one
i was the last one to be strong

we’re giving it up to the sun
we’re giving it up to the moon
we’re giving it up to the earth
we’re giving it up from your own

we’re giving it up to the sun
we’re giving it up to the moon

Soot and Stars

the words flow, decisions made
idea's mine, but the inspiration not
dreams of hangers on, dreams of getting well
spells of ezmerelda, emeralds foretold
splinters in the eye sentiments remain
bones that never rest where we going to
it was never up to me and yet i pushed until it broke

i love the open road and all that it suggests
wheel wagon dust weeds and infidelities and
always for a love never question why
in a wooden house immoveable and silent and
drinking strawberry wine forever lost in town
and thru the sleeping streets night bound and heavy
wheels in the spoke still spoken for himself

now my gates are high, my friends even higher
forgotten in my mind, yet the sky still linger and
cloud the blue skies, i'm jealous of you birds
was the only truth in a world full of words?
hear the prairie sound in a friend called near
the heart is pointed down but my spirit pointed up
his voice for siren of greek mythology

i pause with my pen i begin to defend
every action taken, every moment sealed
when i was quick it coursed through open veins
the will to live the urgency to move
behind a panel door sealing cherry stain
i play my guitar and live those lonesome notes

like a dog that's down
in a corner just a sigh
waiting to be called
waiting to be yours
ghosts of all my shame
without purpose or will

i often speak of you but the you is always me
cause when i speak of me it's me i ask of you
so let there be no truth just trickery in rhymes
time the only thing waiting still as death

i hope for resolution pray one defining moment
pause without restrain barren without child
a child is who i was a child is who i'll die
soot in my hair
and stars in my hands
soot in my hair
and stars in my hands
soot in my hair
and stars in my hands

Blissed and Gone

The sun has blessed
The rays are gone
All all the kids have left their tears and gone home

Sweet 17, sour 29
And I can't explain myself
What I'd hoped to find
You were all so kind
When I was near

And if you're still feeling down
Then maybe you need me around
To love and hold you
Don't say I hadn't told you so
Maybe you need me around

I had no luck
I had no shame
I had no cause, just 17 days of rain
And you in my eyes

Just one more song to slay this earth
And I can't explain myself
Just what it's worth
It was all I had, but not all I need
And I can't escape the fact that I still bleed

And if you're feeling down
And if this seems way too loud
Then maybe you still need me around

I had no voice
I had no drive
I had no choice
I've done my time
I had myself
Had my band
I had my love
Had no hand in watching it all fall apart

And if you're still feeling down
Then maybe you need me around
To lift and scold you
To send you crashing alright now
maybe you need me around
