Tonight, Tonight
Time is never time at all
You can never, ever leave
Without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me
Believe
That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same we're different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me
Believe
In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there's not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
We'll crucify the insincere tonight
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
We'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of you life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight

Meladori Magpie
And on her doorstep
I saw that I was blind
I'd forsaken what was mine
What had mattered mattered little now
We had shattered apart somehow
I can't help but stay the same
I'll remain true to my name
Time to get up and take the long walk home
And for the first time I go alone
Do you remember when we first met
Chasing down the alleyways behind my dad's
I can't help but stay the same
I remain true to the name of lovers past
Good enough to lose and good enought to choose
You too

Rotten Apples
Dirty your face
With longing and grace God given
Suffer her heart and love her when your love goes unrequited
Where the cool winds blow
I must surely go
For my love calls below to drag her from the depths of my soul
When will I see her again
The other side of friends
The darkened claws of death
The empty breath desire
Dirty your face
With longing and grace God given
Suffer her heart and love her when your love goes unrequited
Restless in my speech
And rootless in my teach
So vacant in by breach
I drive the dirt of her garden sorrow
She'll never listen again
No other lovers to bend
Just rotten apples to eat
Just letter yellowed distant scorn
Dirty your face
With longing and grace God given
Suffer her heart and love her when your love goes unrequited
Life just fades away
Purity just begs
Dust to dust we're wired into sadness

Jupiter's Lament
Gone long gone
Blink and I'll be gone gone gone
Leave this world of wrong
Leave it far behind
And although my secrets gone
I'll try to carry on
If I must I'll get along
Without you
Gone long gone
Leave this world of wrong wrong wrong
Beyond the pale
Beyond the dawn
Flee these mortal bonds
No one knows I can't be wrong
Still I sing the same old song
I tried to be strong for you
Why have you left me?
Amongst the tall trees
I know I gave her all I had
I tied her heart in ribbons
And I tied her heart in ribbons
I tied her heart in ribbons and bows
And I'm gone
Oh yes I'm gone
And I'm lost without you
And I'm lost within you
And I'm gone
Long gone

Medellia of the Gray Skies
You're an empty promise
You're an easy chair
You're the gods forces struck down somewhere
You're a secret noticed
You're a mystery sky
You're a wish floated up to the night
Medellia of my eyes
You're the emptiness of I
You're the reason that I write
And if you say you will
I will love you still
And if I could
I'd throw away this world
I'd dress you all in pearls
I'd give you what you wanted
You're all I notice
In a crowded room
You're vacant motives unmoved
Revealed
Medellia of my eyes
You're the emptiness of I
You're the reason that I drive
And if you say you will
I would love you still
And if I could just be anything for you
Just anyone at all
Anything that mattered
Washed out
You're the silly reasons
In a goldfish laugh
You're the ageless seasons at rest
At last
Back to top
Blank
I wish I was blank
I wish I was blank
I wish I could think
I wish I was blank
I'd write a letter to you
And there'd be nothing to it
I wouldn't hem and haw
On just how to start it
I wish I was blank
I wish I was blank
I wish I could think
I wish I was blank
I wish I'd stand up straight
I wish I'd said things different
I wish I'd said nothing
Things would be so perfect
I wish myself to keep
I pray myself to sleep
I wish myself away
I wish I was blank
Back to top
Tonight Reprise
And the embers never fade in my city by the lake
The place where I was born
As the wind up toys wind down
Muffling the sound of a life hidden underground
Believe
Believe in me
Believe
That you can change that you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same we're different tonite
We'll crucify the insincere tonite
We'll make things right
We'll feel it all tonite
The impossible is possible tonite
Believe in me like I believe in you tonite
