Maiden 02:48
It turns out the maiden was a monster And maybe I shouldn't have loved her But it turns out the maiden was a monster And I gave all of my love to her I don't want to look, but I can't see And the lack of option, it's killing me 'Cause it turns out the maiden was a monster And I gave all of my love to her Then she turned back into a maiden sayin' I'll never leave you again

In Retreat 03:12
I feel so incomplete With all these caring faces in retreat And now that I've forgotten How to turn these tears to ink I'll drink another beer Then I'll fall asleep If the water wasn't murky I'd be afraid to swim 'Cause it's what you see That does you in And now that I've forgotten Why I shave my face I'll stare into this mirror Envisioning happy days All the gods In their heavenly thrones They all sing me songs That don't use tones And now that I've forgotten The right way to pray I'll sit here real quiet Until God has something to say Do you have something to say?

I know I've been no friend I know that things must come to an end When you see me with tears on my face It is your place that I would like to chase When I speak, you'll understand I know that things must come to an end The girl is dancing, the music's loud But I cannot find my place in what the host will allow I know I can't fight alone But the beauty of this place it kept on sending me home Screaming, I'll try to make a sound But you can't make a sound Not when your sound is not allowed It's too loud, and they don't want you around You're too loud
6.
I can't tell you where I've been today If I did I might float away And do as the muse insists, Between my ears this calming emptiness Everything fades away On this roller coaster of decay But please don't leave me here this way I'm drained, but you feel okay Yeah, I'm drained, but talk anyway I'll be normal again, someday But today, I got nothing to say
7.
Freedom from the chains you're calling I see metal gates unwinding Have you sung the streets so sweetly? God's blood is no kind offering In the sandbox, children laughing Wheels beneath me echo gladly Devil's laughing, Jesus grinning Hear the universe reclining Get back

Oh my dear sister, tell me you love her Tell me you think that she's the most beautiful thing With her cigarette hanging and that cold face of night glaring I am afraid of nothing, so full and sitting In the arms of our father, wrestling the mother I have found another deep in the armchair where I never lost nothing, I'm waiting now for young hearts to ring Isn't that how it's supposed to be when you're dancing? No meaning in life Oh my fighting friend, I know that you can conquer them 'Cause everyone descends from high thrones when you send All those pleasing sighs, spewing from your eyes The hands tied to your mind are glad that you have been so kind Now you're in the book that no one is reading And you tore out the page where there once was a treaty That allowed passivity to undermine heartstrings But that makes you and I one in the same I can't sit still with all this heat in my brain Did you notice the way I stare when you laugh? It's a genuine face, a room full of masks

Dream #4 04:54
A girl I once loved was skating outside my door When she fell I ran, I held her inside my arms She said, "Who are you with?" I said, "I don't know who I am." I then she disintegrated right out of my hand And I said... Ed was talking, he was talking all day And drinking Coca-Cola outside of Burger King He said, "Coke is the best, and you are the worst, And love is only true when it is something that hurts." And I said... I was smoking weed with a buddy named Ben He used to buy me beer, but now I buy it for him His house was rotting, it was falling apart But sometimes something dirty is the nearest to your heart And I said... Sitting here right now, I wonder what it all could mean There's all of these people in all of these scenes Perhaps the answer is that, despite all the strife, All we do is play a role in someone else's life And I said... Fall is coming, as it does each year Summer's last stand whispers softly in my ear I think of a love who has thrown me away I still miss her more, each and every day Since she said... Kirk was smiling, his teeth stained with wine He asked me to introduce him to a friend of mine They hit it off, but soon he tapped me on the shoulder Saying, "I've drained this bottle and I'm back for another." And I said... A friend of a friend, who I don't like too much He grabbed onto me, and he cried at my touch He said, "I feel the loneliness in my existence And I feel the emptiness in my resistance." And I said... Sitting here right now...

Looking Down 02:34
I'm looking down at people Each one passing me by It's as if no one cares But then who the hell am I? I've read in all your holy books That someone takes the lead Someone fights the battle While another succumbs to greed But I feel like that leaves out All the people like me and her Confusion's not an adjective But it's the closest word And beauty's not the same Without her by my side But the view, it still is pretty So I'll take it all in stride I'm looking down at people For my friends who were coming today Maybe they've found something better They all have gone away So I'm staring at my hand Where there once lay a golden fist But now that fist has dissipated into a lonely mist I am left alone; I'm the only one A beauty seen in solitude is a beauty seen by none I can take a picture of this knowing in my head But all these beautiful thoughts will die once I am dead

Hands held, ice skating Do you feel the earth shaking? I am not transparent Side by side before Her glory Unholy testimony In the rain, I hear it With their mantras And their dances Umbrella fortress You wait for the bus Let desire rust You wait for the bus
