sparks in the darkness
gone w/ the wind
that's rain not snow, let's start the show
gone w/ the wind, sleeping with my enemies, where do i begin
a crown of pawns lay upon a head but not beyond
gone w/ the wind, you don't know i watched you water down the gin
let the joy return, if you will i'll never be so sure
gone w/ the wind, you'll soon be looking fine again w/ a little cinnamon and spit
now everybody's holding hands and singing
gone w/ the wind
your name in cement
you fight to destroy the day, but i don't know why
it's so hard to explain, it's all me in my mind
run to catch the train, i hope i don't die today
it doesn't matter if it rains, we just smile in our light
cause i can take the pain, i've been holding you too tight
burn all the remains and i'll see you in the next life
the answer's always the same and you say it so fine
no one is going to change because we're all just so right
there's nothing else that i can say, i love you and goodbye
goodbye piano
goodbye piano, so long the solo
if i've been dreaming i've been dreaming of you
cull the magic commas to thwart the ballerinas
when i'm not thinking, i'm thinking of you
save it with the sorrow, hope i got none on ya
nothing is as easy as you
move the record onward, all the words are clockward
you're well into your life now boy, now's not the time to let them rattle you
goodbye piano, so long the solo
if i've been dreaming i've been dreaming of you
swimming
left my beard in montezuma, left my beard where it belongs
left my tears in the ocean, so they sank and sank saintly, so long
in light now, i don't know, i don't know why i'll see you and try
but i fear it's all mine, i'm going swimming
it ain't gonna be as strong as i'm smoking, it ain't gonna be as strong at all
it ain't gonna be cigar store indians, it ain't gonna kill us at all
in light now, i don't know, i don't know why i'll see you and try
but i fear it's all mine, i'm going swimming
maybe take the train to california, a tip of the hat off my tongue
heard the preacher in south carolina, but i still ain't heard anything at all
in light now, i don't know, i don't know why i'll see you and try
but i fear it's all mine, i'm going swimming
in light now, i don't know, i don't know why i'll see you and try
but i fear it's all mine, i'm going swimming
moonlight might
and he writes i'm alive for which i will do my time
lost my sight, lost my mind
i couldn't find the strength there to believe in my will
let the moon light the path that's right
to follow the might into the space i've cleared that's mine
no record known of what love we've shown
it's a sight to see in my memory of when i was that fiend
let the moon light all other light
it's the secret of my ability to dream
love ain't nothing but graffiti
using the lines i taught her she gets by as some kind of fucking sage
she pretends to be my daughter even though we're the same age
well boy, what's it gonna be, i need to know so that i can be free
love ain't nothing but graffiti, love ain't nothing but blush
love ain't no companion, love's just knocking on wood
she spreads her legs on camera, i love her too fucking much
to testify the comfort of one simple touch
well boy, what's it gonna be, i need to know so i can be free
love ain't nothing but graffiti, love ain't nothing but blush
love ain't nothing but repeated, love don't understand my blood
love ain't kind to strangers, a love so understood
love ain't nothing but graffiti, love ain't nothing but blush
come on camera
a story not so pretty and not done tastefully
here the rising city meets the rising sea
i can't take it, i can't take it, i can't take it please
it's a secret, it's a secret, sacred, scene i need
automatic, automatic, automatically
lots of screaming, take off your clothes, come on camera for me
we don't do things safely, and afterwards we clean
send my love and hastly, don't make it sound too dumb
i can't say this, i can't say this, in all sadistic glee
it's all too native, and also hated, in all the peace we've reached
music motivated mayhem and i control the breeze
reach for the stars, aren't they so shiny, come on camera for me
a story not so pretty and not done tastefully
here the rising city meets the rising sea
from the boy by the river to the girl atop the hill
loathe the taste of men, make known the fruit
your scent to testify, heretic roads, make your roads
your best defense, no clothes, no loose change to roll
i've got something to say and i've got something to make
there's nothing i can break cause i don't want to save my soul
hold your breath, lament, lay low, lay low
deny the sentiment, fear exposing the cold to your soul to save the fire
let it go, let it be your bones
i've got something to say and i've got something to make
there's nothing i can break cause i don't want to save my soul
nobody loves me like you do
you stupid fool, don't you know that's checkmate in one move
the loudest clock ticking, the chance to be the devil not missed
where there is no hell, no heaven by which to spoil the well
nobody loves me like you do
nobody loves me like you do
you silly goose, don't you know that what we're proving is the truth
when there is no proof, take the face by which denial will do
the proud take a licking when the proud talk to angels and choose
nobody loves me like you do
nobody loves me like you do
the unspoken rule, the angel must be singing in tune
force the bruise to stop the swelling from breaking the noose
the fall will thicken the silence in the corners kept loose
nobody loves me like you do
nobody loves me like you do
nobody loves me like you do
nobody loves me like you do
peace be w/ you so that i can get a little piece
profit from ancestral tones, easy come my old dead bones
profit from messiah's poem, who cares for me on my own
fake moans
he solved many poems alone in stone
i have no control
in my fate my lack of faith, all my instincts came too late
is this the secret at the gate, is this the wind blowing in my face
fake moans
he solved many poems alone in stone
i have no control
profit from the prophet son, lead the way to my disownment
he's so mean so he can be clean, he maintains disease now clarity
following symbols i found in dreams
and i see meaning i thought was in me
the word i dreamed i see
birthing inside of me
no one sworn no crown no everything
the word i dreamed is
peace
pictures of outer space
should i still show mine even though you wouldn't show
you remember why although you pretend that you don't
the rhyme's a lie and everything is all a joke
all my bones are aching
all my bones be aching
all my bones are aching
so i'm told
you try to hide that you're really frightened and alone
while i lost all bets, and minds, what little sense of pride
should i still show mine even though you'd never know
all my bones are aching
all my bones are aching
all my bones be aching
i know i played my part but losing you will always break my heart
and all my bones are aching
all my bones be aching
all my bones are aching
so i'm told
sparks in the darkness
buried slowly, barely even day by day
a large burden shifts and fades
buried slowly w/ too much time to pray
the veil begins to lift, i can see a way
ain't no sunshine, you're always telling me i'm wrong
ain't no sunshine, you're always telling me i'm wrong
ain't no sunshine, you're always saying no way
ain't no sunshine, i'm a sentimental slave
although i am slow to conjure up good memories i know, i'll be there waiting and singing hello
and the friends i never see, you're all welcome to come with me
and like my mom getting my girlfriend to try on my grandmother's wedding dress
your beauty is maternal, passed through ephemeral doors into rooms eternal
ain't no sunshine, you're always telling me i'm wrong
ain't no sunshine, you're always telling me i'm wrong
the cross
i see, i see, oh no, oh no
i bleed, i believe, oh no, oh no
shut up, sit still, close your eyes, break what i can't feel
my mind is blank, no confusion, no anything i can't think
i mean for nothing, i think, i think, whatever my pride
someday i'll have no reason to mind
someday we'll find our magic stride
in an open field i've kneeled, castrate me
lightning strike the cross and set me free
some say in secret, so what i say, i'm not gonna lie
burn a path to the opening of my mind
whatever that means doesn't mean much at all
in an open field i've kneeled, castrate me
lightning strike the cross and set me free
i wish that i could feel like you do
i wish that i could feel like you do
i wish that i could feel like you do
shut up, sit still, close my eyes, break what i can't heal
my mind is blank, no confusion, no anything i don't think
where always it's spring and everyone's in love and the flowers pick themselves
it's so hard to escape a mind that you can't break
ride it all the way until you feel the fade
then lo and behold he's warm and almost saintly
shed of all shame, he's manly on his knees
rise to hold up a nation, a nation over pleased
write to defy the notion that there's a notion to believe
it's a life to maintain if the progress is the state
assume the right of way, the happiness you've framed
lo and behold he's warm and almost saintly
shed of all shame, he's manly on his knees
rise to hold up a nation, a nation over pleased
write to defy the notion that there's a notion to believe
