Bells 05:51
you can smash your love onstage you can drink yourself to death you can stay a boy forever you can burn with every breath the bells still ring the bells ring you can cut your hand to pieces you can choke on the plastic spoon you can bet the future forgives you maybe… you can shoot the moon the bells still ring the bells ring sanctus dulce

she found her G-spot in outer space disappeared without a trace she was the last of the human race launched a moon-shot dressed in lace she said: I'll be right here, baby with the sun, the moon, the stars surrounded I'm coming home, honey where love and gravity keep me grounded she left her virtue on the bedroom floor like a girl dancing off to war as if there'd never be anymore as if she'd never been here before she said… she wore her love like a charm like a bracelet on her arm she felt a million miles away from here she saw color in the galaxy a black hole inside of me she knew exactly where to look for fear

Easy 03:26
easy don't let the voices drown you shake it off you're not the first to fall through temptation truth is a naked clear cut stripped away no way to close the book shut get off your knees don't need sympathy get off your knees you don't need me beauty broken and lost, still standing saves me I'm not the one pretending temptation truth is a naked clear cut stripped away no way to close the book shut get off your knees don't need sympathy get off your knees you don't need me everything you want is so clear but everything you need is right here

Return 05:38
the more I know the less stays true the future's running away from me from me from me the future runs away from me preacher says we're through there's nothing new under the sun if that's true I'm doomed 'cause I live to be reborn I live I breathe I need the same things you need I bleed wisdom grows like a circle goes return again and again never leave never arrive return again and again

Maybe 04:33
I took a walk at a quarter to three the sound of static chasing after me a freakin' army couldn't sing me to sleep I took a walk at a quarter to three -- yeah I hit the sidewalk with the wind in my face a pair of earrings and a can of mace the city's hungry for another disgrace another girl who doesn't know her place maybe it starts with me maybe we can break free I took a walk at a quarter to three the sound of static chasing after me a freakin' army couldn't sing me to sleep I took a walk at a quarter to three maybe it starts with me maybe we can break free maybe it starts with me it ends with me it blends with me maybe it fails with me it bleeds with me it sleeps with me I hit the sidewalk with the wind in my face a pair of earrings and a can of mace the city's hungry for another disgrace another girl who doesn't know her place

I don't care what they say you can hold my hand I don't care what the fake girls say you can hold my hand I'll take you home to my room take you between the sheets we can be together if we want nothing else competes you're free to be with me the way God meant you to be you're free to be with me a love that opens secretly a love that reached for the best part of me I don't care what the preacher says he never knew love I don't care what's safe anymore I'm ready to go above you're free to be with me the way God meant you to be you're to love me sweetly a love that opens secretly a love that reached for the best part of me waking breathing becoming free dreaming screaming unleashing me

you stole my electrons you stole my heat you stole everything I had that made me ...me you stole my cigarettes you stole my Jesus you stole everything that helped me forget us don't stop now, it rescues me you stole my intention you stole my voice you stole everything I had to make a choice you stole my fever you stole my creed you stole everything I had to keep me free don't stop now, it rescues me I see my Father walk away Holy Mother fades away I see the mask that covers me I see the lie that rescues me I see myself opening like a flower all petals and stamens, unbroken power I lean with the wind blooming and scattered waves of grass and thistle shattered don't stop now, it rescues me

Every Color 05:33
I'm like my mother a broken record I guess I'm stuck in one groove I'm like my sister my tender sister still got something to prove and I feel all alone I see every color the world's changing horizon's shrinking everybody connects that's why I'm staying that's why I'm paying tell me… what's next? and I feel all alone I see every color I'm like my only son my foolish flower we jump in with both feet
9.
Hold Me Up 05:11
what… what are we shooting for? what are we dying for? what are we lying for? hold me up don't push me down I… used to believe in us I used to dream for us I used to pray for us hold me up don't push me down put my foot down all my weight on it and I walk away from here…
