Scream

she sleepwalks
in my dreams
she stops to scream
she rolls her eyes
stretch that neck
ecstasy’s wreck
you stop!
wanna make me?
you stop!
wanna make me?
go the distance
wear your funny pants
she floats free
she sees stars
she casts shade
stab, gash, scar

The Smile Beside You
03:12
|
|||
|
Eyes half open
Crack in the ceiling
Sheets damp and twisted
Renders no feeling
Close them back up tight
No room for appealing
Shuttered to the threat
Hell’s here for the stealing
The smile beside you
Under its weight, you kneel
Couldn’t be what it wanted
And so you made the deal
Eyes wide open
Crack for the sealing
Sheets soft and pretty
Delivers the healing
The smile beside you
Under its weight, you kneel
Couldn’t be what it wanted
And so you made the deal
For fuck’s sake, girl
Pull yourself from lost
To feel is to live
And it comes at a cost
The smile beside you
Under its weight, you kneel
Couldn’t be what it wanted
And so you made the deal
Get a hold of yourself, girl
Pull yourself from lost
To feel is to love
And it comes with a cost

When he sings to my smile,
every single mistake escapes.
When he plays his guitar,
every instinct I own says home.
When he sleeps like he does,
like a lost summer day,
I keep.
When he looks after me
like a man who knows loss,
I weep.
When he acts like he does,
like he he’s trapped in his soul,
I wait.
When he sings to my smile,
every single mistake escapes.
When he acts like he does,
like he he’s trapped in his soul,
I wait.

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

alone in my room
this is where it started
coming to me soon
this is where it started
you dug me up beneath black water
I drank from your cup, buried beneath black water
and you wouldn't let me go down
I fell asleep
slipping deep inside
dreaming too steep
slipping deep inside
nothing seemed to fit
I couldn't live much longer
there was nothing to get
this is where it started
you weren't afraid to go down with me...

one step too far
too fast, your car
three words I spoke
four days ago
I don't wanna be the one to leave
I don't wanna be the one to stay
I don't wanna be the one to cry
I don't wanna be the one to say . . . goodbye
I dreamt last night
in black and white
you swam the deep end
came back again
you shut the door
cut to the core
I did not care
I was not there
I don't wanna be the one to leave
I don't wanna be the one to stay
I don't wanna be the one to cry
I don't wanna be the one to say . . . goodbye
honestly, if it was up to me we'd build the perfect machine
reality, on bended knee, we'd tip the whole damn thing
and forget, forget, there was ever you and me
just forget, forget, the day we met
one step too far
too fast, your car
three words I spoke
four days ago

woke up this morning
something different in her heart
she couldn't fake it anymore
she came apart
we all need it
she drove her car into the pool
she left a crack
she called her boss and told him,
"I ain't coming back!"
we all need it
we go to school
we go as slaves
we go to work
go to our graves
she bought a ticket
to a place she'd never been
closed her eyes and whispered,
"Remember when?"

so many
too many to thank
all around me
of every rank
there you go
you’re my hero
there you go
you’re my hero
every day
is one last gift
we find a way
to give it a lift
there you go
you’re my hero
there you go
you’re my hero
