Once
I admit it, what's to say
I'll relive it, without pain
Backstreet lover on the side
Of the road
I got a bomb in my temple
That is gonna explode
I got a .16 gauge buried� � �
Under my clothes, I play
Once upon a time I could control myself
Once upon a time I could lose myself
Oh try and mimic, what's insane
I am in it, where do I stand
Indian summer I hate the heat
I got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat
I got my hand in my pocket
So determined
Discreet, I pray
Once upon a time I could control myself
Once upon a time I could lose myself
Once upon a time I could love myself
Once upon a time I could love myself
Once
Once
Once

Even Flow
Freezing, rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again
Oh, feeling maybe he'll see a little betters any days
Oh, head down, faces that he sees don't look it ain't that familiar
Oh, girlfriend he can't have when he's happy looks insane, oh yeah
Even flow
Thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know
So he chases them away
Some day yet he'll begin his life again
Life again
Kneeling, looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read
Praying, now to something that has never showed him anything
Oh, feeling, understands the weather or that winters on its way, yeah
Oh, ceilings people fall between all the legal halls of shame
Even flow
Thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know
So he chases them away
Some day yet he'll begin his life again
Whispering hands, carry him away
Him away, him away
Yeah
Woo
Oh yeah, yeah

Alive
Son, she said
Have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy
Was nothing but a
While you were sitting
Home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dying
Sorry you didn't see him
But I'm glad we talked
I...I...I'm still alive�
I...I...I'm still alive
I...I...I'm still alive
Oh she walks slowly
Across a young man's room
She said I'm ready for you
I can't remember anything
To this very day
'Cept the look, the look
You know where
Now I can't see, I just stare
I...I...I'm still alive
I...I...I'm still alive�
I...I...I'm still alive
I...I...I'm still alive
Is something wrong
She said
Of course there is
You're still alive
She said
Do I deserve to be
Is that the question
And if so, if so
Who answers
Who answers
I...I...I'm still alive
I...I...I'm still alive
I...I...I'm still alive
I...I'm still alive
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Why Go
She scratches a letter
Into a wall made of stone
Maybe some day
Another child
Won't feel as alone as she does
It's been two years
And counting
Since they put her in this place
She's been diagnosed
By some stupid fuck
And mommy agrees
Why go home
Why go home
Why go home
She seems to be stronger
But what they want her to be is weak
She could just pretend
She could play the game
She could be another clone
Why go home
What you taught me
Don't come visit
Put me here
Mommy dear

Black
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of plain
Her legs spread out before me as her body holds still
All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
And all I taught her was everything
I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands shake beneath the clouds of what was everything
All the pictures sent all been washed in black
Tattooed everything
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I sneer
And twisted thoughts that spin round my head, I'm spinning
Oh I'm spinning, how quick a sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything
All the pictures sent all been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all that I'll be
I know some day you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky
But why, why, why can't it be...how can I be more

Jeremy
At home
Drawing pictures
Of mountain tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Arms raised in a V
Dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention
To the fact that Mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked
Ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Clearly I remember
Picking on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
But we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth
And bit the recessed lady's breast
How could I forget
He hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurting
Dropped wide open
Just like the day
Like the day I heard
� � �
Daddy didn't give affection
And the boy was something Mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked
Ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Try to forget this
Try to erase this
From the blackboard

Oceans
Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Guide me towards you
Know something's left
And we're all allowed to dream
Of the next time we touch
You don't have to stray
Two oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring
The sea will rise
Please stand by the shore
I will be
I will be
There once more
Top
Porch
What the fuck is this world
Running to
You didn't leave a message
At least I could have� � �
Heard your voice one last time
Daily minefield
This could be my time
How 'bout you
Would you hit me
Would you hit me
All the bills go by
And initiatives are taken up
By the middle
There ain't gonna be any middle any more
And the cross I'm bearing home
Ain't indicative of my place
Left the porch
Left the porch
Hear my name
Take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand
Walk beside me
I just need to say
Hear my name
Take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand
Lie beside me
I just need to say
Hear my name
Take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand
Lie beside me
I just need to say
What can I take
I just want to be
I know that I would not ever touch you
Hold you
Feel you
Ever hold
Never again
Top
Garden
The direction of the eye
So misleading
The defection of the soul
Nauseously quick
I don't question
Our existence
I just question
Our modern needs
I will walk, with my hands bound
I will walk, with my face blood
I will walk, with my shadow flag
Into your garden
Garden of stone
After all is done
We're still alone
I won't be taken
Yet I'll go
I will walk, with my hands bound
I will walk, with my face blood
I will walk, with my shadow flag
Into your garden
Garden of stone
I don't show
I don't share
I don't need
What you have to give

Deep
On the edge
Windowsill
Ponders his maker
Ponders his will
To the street below
He just ain't nothing
But he's got a great view
On the edge
Know-nothing town
Feeling quite superior
The aged come
To the sky above
He just ain't nothing
But he's got a great view
On the edge of a
Christmas clean love
Young virgin from heaven
Visiting
To the man above her
She just ain't nothing
She doesn't like the view
Doesn't like the view� �
Doesn't like the view...
But he sinks himself deep
Can't touch the bottom
In too deep
Can't touch the bottom
Can't touch the bottom
In too deep
Can't touch the bottom
Can't touch the bottom
In too deep
Can't touch the bottom
Can't touch the bottom
Deep...

Release
I see the world
Feel the truth
Which way to go
Windowsill
I see the words�
On a rocking horse of time
I see the birds in the rain
Oh dear Diane
Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow
I'll ride the wave
Where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
Release me
Oh dear Diane
Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow
I'll wait up in the dark
For you to speak to me
I'll open up
Release me
Release me
Release me
Release me
