I see no use in this company Take the blindfold off and let me see I can see reflections on the highway signs I can see frustration inside our minds If you ask for me again I will throw my body for you mend Our tears were frozen, they've all been spent But as time tries to heal, the autumn will end There's nothing useful about a useless clown Roll the windows up, bring the silence down With all your lovers you can command And a pile of our ashes in your hand If you ask for me again I will throw my body for you mend Our tears were frozen, they've all been spent But as time tries to heal, I'll be your friend

Here in your tomb It's true, it's true, it's true I followed you through The clouds that are turning blue You said goodbye, saw you had to try But you know I've not moved an inch still The string 'round my neck I confess, I put it there 'Cause when you're hanging up high There's no need to cry or to care You said goodbye, saw you had to try But you know I've not moved an inch still You said hello, I said no, no, no You can't make me move an inch still
3.
I love you when the winter's cold Our bodies fold into one I love you when the day grows old We've bought and sold these smiling suns The constellations on your skin Will pick me up and pull my days from the night 'Cause you so bright But I knew you'd always be I love you when the sky is clear We needn't fear the days ahead Look and see, the storm grows near But we are safe inside your bed The constellations on your skin Will pick me up and pull my days from the night 'Cause you so bright But I knew you'd always be

Ribbone 04:21
You're not a friend of him or of me I sang our goodbyes to the end of the sea A firm fuck you is all I can do You take your time, but you're not having any of mine I should have known at the end of the road I've got to leave my rib bone I've got to leave you alone A day or a year, it's all becoming clear I stand by my side, there's nowhere else to hide I thought I missed your face, but I just missed it in the past Or another place, it's never going to last I should have known at the end of the road I've got to leave my rib bone I've got to leave you alone What the hell makes you think I would ever wanna hear that? I tried my best not to sick but you had to ruin that too You're the one that I've wanted for oh so long Even the time that I've wasted while writing these songs I should have known at the end of the road I've got to leave my rib bone I've got to leave you alone

Soul 03:03
There's burning underneath my skin, I must believe That you had so many lies locked in your sleeve My skin turns cold, these thought I want them all to leave Or should I board up the windows so you can't see That I am weak and you are strong But I know where my soul belongs My hair stands up on end every time you call I can't define the things I find behind your walls My eyes are tired from all the tears I've shed before I think i'll just forget you now and lock the door 'Cause I am weak and you are strong But I know where my soul belongs Now that I know where my soul belongs Now I wonder where did I go wrong? You locked the door and ate the key Now I wonder where I should be

Often when I look into your eyes, I see There was always someone else To keep you from yourself As long as he loves you, I'll never tell Often I can see right through your thighs, paralyzed You knew I was there to help But you stuffed it deep in yourself As long as he lives, I'll never tell Can't you see I'm running on borrowed time Can't you see these feeling aren't yours, they're mine I know you've changed so strong from a weed to a tree I can't always get what I want, you limbs grow to high for me Often I can see through your disguise, and your lies But I know there's something else That keeps you from yourself As long as he loves you I'll never tell Can't you see I'm running on borrowed time Can't you see these feeling aren't yours, they're mine I know you've changed so strong from a weed to a tree I can't always get what I want, you limbs grow to high for me

You were a friend of mine Warm and small and refined Never know if you despised The walls you've built and burned down The things you've done I've just begin to see the way you are I see the skies Written in the back of your quivering lies You won't fool me now I have tried to show you how But we've reached the end of the page You have shown me your dark side You left a brandmark on my side Tell me what were you trying to hide? The silence fell But I could hear you fume I can only assume, it's just the way you are I see the skies Written in the back of your quivering lies You won't fool me now I have tried to show you how But we've reached the end of the page You were a friend of mine Small and skinny and uptight Never know if you despised The walls you've built and burned down The things you've done I've just begin to see the way you are

Say the words To make the shivers come our way Today, I heard You take our livers from the clay And I will lie Awake, to hear the sound of your feet Stepping low Out of bed, into the day before we Spoke at all Not a sound, or creak in the window sill Even still Alive, but no one else will know All I'll know, this is all a dream The way back home isn't far at all Our endless lines locked in endless reams You swing around to see them fall Only spirits can see the pages turn Leaned against your body, felt your insides burn Fallen petals seek to hide your lost mistakes I'll leave it open, there's more than you could ever take Dipped my face in the ocean for the seventh time this day The water's tainted, it makes me feel this way Your salty fingers run across my face Cracking and crusted with the ones who'll take my place Turn on your light Tonight, and let me bask in your warmth I've been warned To keep my hands away from the flame Such a shame To leave my burnt limbs out in the sun For no one To be stunned, to be swept up with the tides Your sides cling To the bed of my chest And the rest Is left open for you to command All I'll know, is this is all a dream The way back home isn't far at all Our endless lines locked in endless reams You swing around to see them fall Only spirits can see what I have done Sitting, sleeping, looking for another one Fallen leaves blanket every sweet caress Expectations long for me to be the best Dipped my face in the ocean for the hundredth time this day The water's clouded, it makes me want to say Run you crooked finger up and down that hollow place Can't you see that I'm waiting for someone to take my place? All I'll know, is this is all a dream The way back home isn't far at all Our endless lines locked in endless reams You swing around to see them fall

Some way, somehow, I will find you There's nothing now or behind you Your bodies move down that straight line And the cold footprints that are not mine Pour the wine, for that's all that's left to drink And we've got the time to sink in our sorrows I see right through your composition There's no way you can hide from me So let me show you this position If you promise to follow me The road is long, I will breathe true The moments when you could see through A tiny thread that just dangled Into your hair as it tangled Pour the wine, for there's never quite enough And what's soft will soon turn rough for tomorrow I see right through your composition There's no way you can hide from me So let me show you this position If you promise to follow me

Tracks 03:30
Should you wait such a long time? Does it matter that you know I tried? Should you lay upon the ground? I say your name when no one's around Please don't make a move I told you stay Please don't make a sound Don't look at me that way Your hands are cold and your smile is bare I followed your tracks, but you were nowhere Should I let you know where I've been I opened my voice and let you in Please don't make a move I told you stay Please don't make a sound Don't look at me that way
