1.
one year of sleep'll do you no harm it's said could've met my maker one time but now instead one night can last a lifetime. my bed of prose you can have another lifetime. what's mine is yours i wanna fight the good fight with you, my friend and if we fall over chicago well that's my kind of end so let love in and i'll hold down the fort for you let love in let it grow i'll be good for it never wanted absolution. i'll take my hand and i would rather be in debt and in full control maybe now's the perfect time to finally learn to harmonize
2.
i level out when i can tell there's nothing here i haven't seen before, but something always happens to drag me down and i swing into the pain. there's that ache. the words escape, or rather hide.. i don't have a clue and i can't blame it on the rain this time, no, it's sunny as shit again. so fuck this town, it's good to me, and everyone is saying they love me. i used to be okay i think but then i was drinking myself to death.
3.
i've got plans for the night mostly to be more polite i'll trust the coming of spring caught in the pressure of things my part is played by a fool paper and sound fills the room believe it's something like bliss yeah right not something i'll miss fingers on the pressure will all beat on i'm calling for you to bring me home unfold and say what you know i can't get more honest than this train rides are robbing us blind more than the passage of time
4.
last year trees fell wind swept we felt covered in the natural shadows a bed of sleeping willows dreaming of the agony of lovers who thought it best to suffocate each other we bleached our bones made coats of thorns and promised we'd live up to our promises but never said who made the promises and always when you slept i turned the light on my last chance to control the shadows your prayers only mean something to me yeah babe they mean the world to me
5.
you can believe what you want to believe and i won't say a word see the truth it comes in different shades and mine is a certain gray to my own embarrassment i'm not fit for judgements, not known for patience. hell i'm just about as lost as they come so i'll scream when you smile and god help you if you read my mind we haven't been this down in a while it's killing us these colors and crimes it wears my eyes out hate to feel, love to hate, tongue to cut til you bleed it wears my eyes out these pretty things will make you weak they tear apart at the seams it wears my eyes out some kind of crucifixion scene so you can believe what you want to believe and i won't say a word yeah you can believe what you want to believe but you'd better make a choice today i'm begging you to walk away
6.
i was a graveyard yesterday feeling yr footsteps on the ground leaving these photographic burns on my world and every date will fade away history etched now worn completely in such an envious decay. oh no but i'm getting better the more i forget and i'm getting smarter if i don't look back and i'll be healed the day i turn around to footprints washed away i was a bored and sad parade i was one sycophantic beauty i never meant to play the fool for a friend every time i try to set it straight good intentions boil to hate when i bite you're meant to bleed. so sorry but i'm getting better the more i forget and i'm getting smarter when i don't look back and i'll be healed the day i turn around to footprints washed away the day i look down and this blood is just a stain
