loving you in every single way
i've lost the world
mind and soul succumbing to decay
life force unfurled
i am so afraid
please help
i can't just wait
tell me that it's not too late

somebody said it
and i heard it
collect yourself now
of all the things that could go wrong
it'll never take me long
we'll piece together little songs
to pretend that we belong
and we run in the dark
like the cinema
live through imperfect alibis
when we're not trying to get by
i see the silver in your eyes
everything else long since died
still we run in the dark
and it can't be undone
and when our run is done they move on

imagine if our memories
could just enfold us
it's been so very many years
i can't extol us
we knew each other before we'd met
or so they told us
but no one spoke of that again
as time consoled us
quick to pick up your sword and shield
your dreaming lifeline
perish the thought that we're just young
with too much free time
but when we hopped into that car
bound for the incline
the first time that my eyes caught snow
they were stuck in recline
and i wonder why
leave your home
there's nothing that's there for you now
time's gone by
and you only left your vow
a slot machine in a grocery store
distracts from infights
you didn't really want to be here
for many more nights
she asked me if i knew the lord
his love and his light
i think you wanted to love, too
would it feel right
and i wonder why you should
has heaven sent you now

she found herself beside the fountain at a moment's notice
she'd called herself there for a whim she'd might fulfill
another time would find her in the daily grind, she knows this
no longer waking from under the windowsill
and all the passersby just look so happy in their movement
she has to wonder what's so great with the routine
to feel like how any of them look would be an improvement
instead of paralyzed inside a moving scene
and right there by the fountain she is all but left to ponder
and pondering's a very lonely place to be, 'cause
she's more or less the same that she's always been
trying so very hard to reign it in
what can you even do when you just can't win
you might not try so hard anymore
they woke up from the slight noise bleeding into their hotel room
they'd got no place to go until the night was young
they hoped they'd get the phone call from their favorite personnel soon
tried not to think about it when it didn't come
and right there in the hotel bed they're all but left to ponder
and pondering's a very lonely place to be, 'cause
they're more or less the same that they've always been
desperately clawing right out from within
we're more or less the same that we've always been

a gentle walk is all it takes
through mid-december
to spur these thoughts, like "what a waste"
you're my dream lender
but what you give, you take away
to render hollow
my role is the worse
regret it all, so
send for your best healing waves
take them with you wherever you go
i hope you rest well for all your days
i understand if you don't want to come home
i traveled far to see the day
you promised long ago
and now i feel like yesterday
is too far back to row
and what you gave, you took away
and rendered hollow
you never thought so much to leave
an act to follow
send for your best
you deserve the best
but that's more than I can give
so move along

you're running away
from what you've sown
no repentance
and then you say
damn the other people
where can you go
no consequence
rest of your days
run my hand on the top of your chainlink fence
not courageous to break the skin
i don't respect your decisions

Collector

i should have known i'd not been saved
just when i thought things were through
i cannot take this to my grave
i shudder when i think of you
'cause i know you kill
first chance that you get
you'll get yours in time
i just want what's mine
the visions of your nature set
collector of blue flowers
you take all of what you can get
before all things turn sour
your brutal leverage cuts again
the knife will fall where you choose
the petrifying mise-en-scène
a laceration, not a bruise
yes i know you kill
i will take what's mine

Intent

i fall in the middle of it
yes in the midst of it
out of my depth with you
brick wall
strapped in tight and headed
to end up embedded
what is there left to lose
that's the point
that i'm trying to make
but with each mistake
wonder what it meant to you
bend the joint
'til it breaks in two
and the pain seeps through
to remind you what you shouldn't do
that's the point
thick blinds being drawn in the dark
to hide a grim remark
if only that were true
i know how to follow the drill
and in the end, i'm still
out of my depth with you
but i can't relate
being as far gone as you've resolved to
what am i to do
it won't matter in a little few

No Method

oh, what a fool
under your rule
not quite by chance
some saw it fit to wield the lance
and depose you, now there's
thyme on the grave
it's left unscathed
spirit's unrest
one tyrant specter's cruel behest
how long will you be content
to weave such falsehoods into prayer
with a wyvern's stare
taken great pain
to still refrain
now this charade
dies with your soul where it pervades
yes i've made my mind to repent
and dethrone you where you stand
you've no method to grasp daggers in your hands
so go hide from whence you came
left to memory

is it all over
were we wrong
will we be closer
with this song
if this really is it, i don't know what to say
good night
goodbye
i always feared it might take this long
to debilitate the vessel we thought strong
i am so afraid
please

shut the car door behind me another time
radio and i are going for another ride
what they gave me didn't help
believe me, i really tried
isn't it funny just how easy it is to land on either side
lucky ones, they get to row ashore; when the hell do i?
sweep away the pieces send them off to sea
'cause i can't quite measure up
life is precious
it shouldn't be wasted on me
i saw the sun rise from the deck of a moving train
saw it from the cliffside too, but it's not the same
the best part of freefall's the word free
yeah i can't quite measure up
'cause i know that
it shouldn't be wasted on me
don't waste it
taking exits through the fog
and brilliant lights
ever filtered down to nothing
far out of sight
there's no easy way to bear it
whatever the case may be
but i know better than to think
that it shouldn't be wasted on me
