Somber Eyes

The room's now empty
My work is done
and what the hell has my heart become?
The somber eyes that watched you sleep
are buried deep beneath my sheets
So in the morning
Hide from the sun
Hey, little sister.
There goes another year
After this winter, there goes another year
There's nothing stranger than knowing you're alive
Do you think about the days you weren't in my life?
Walking on glass
Move down the road
The shadows now are dancing to this song
Like lovers they are with me and then they're gone
And the words I sing fall from my bleeding tongue
Like warriors of some battle we have won
I guess we've won
Through somber eyes...

New Blood

I'm not sure if there are words to express my devotion
Everything I want, just like a child, I squeeze to hard
and the love comes oozing through my fingers
Was it something like the world that I promised you?
Well, I'm sorry. I guess I really didn't think it through
Remember when you asked me to forget you?
God damn... Those green eyes were unbelievable.
You let down the curtains like you were mourning the twilight
Even sunshine seemed bitter those days
I slept with my back turned and your hand shook like thunder
on my shoulder until you pulled it away
Could have been hypoxia
The way we constantly inhaled hundreds of cigarettes
The oxygen in that apartment was just a memory
and that's something I am to now, just a memory
Save all my goodbyes just for July
New blood for the summer until I find a new way to drip it dry
Free old flames from my hands
Learn how to clench them again
Then hold on like a stranger, onto the steps of a ladder
Climb so high that I can't see the ground
Push passed my fear of heights
Plan the new life I'll have up in the stratosphere
Cross my fingers and hope there are no people there
and you'll all be just a memory
Yeah, that's what I said...
You'll all be just a memory

If I could re-live that night we met beside the fire
You best believe I've got my ticket for that train
All those long days you aren't beside me
The scent of your perfume on my clothes
Will hold my heart until we can be close
If we pull all the curtains down
The world might forget us in this room
and then maybe I won't have to give you up so soon
Would it be such a waste to slow it down
My toes and feet nailed to the ground
It took one smile to pull it through
A touch of blood
A bit of fun
I guess I've finally met someone who holds conversations
through dark and dreamy eyes
and now nothing compares to the weight of summertime
If we pulled all the windows in this house closed
Then maybe I won't have to feel like I'm alone
If we pull all the curtains down
The world might forget us in this room
and then maybe I won't have to give you up so soon

Coming Back To Life

When I go to sleep my dreams aren't like they used to be
They're just echoes that have clouded up my mind
And the visions that appear
Remind me of the light
I held inside when I was young
It's never coming back to life
Goodbye little boy
The noise finally got to you
From a world that just melts itself away
And all of your friends are now like ghosts you're breathing in
And the past is left like resin on your lungs
But it's okay
You're alright
You still have time to disappear
and the word's to escape
or so they keep telling you..
I know it's all fucked up when you move from the cradle to the bottle
and then you move into your own apartment
and then you get yourself back into the bottle
Loneliness is like a disease you never wanted to catch
and then you felt
that everyone you wanted to reach just pushed you two steps back
from yourself
Goodbye little boy
The wind finally got to you
From the city made of sand it blew away
and everything that stands just falls over in the end
and the past is the future
The future is today
But it's okay
You're alright
Everybody's got to grow old sometime
and the words to escape
Well, they'll get away from you..

For I am an engine and I'm holding on
Through endless revisions to state what I mean
For sweetness alone who flew out through the window
And landed back home in a garden of green
You're riding alone in the back of a steamer
And steaming yourself in the warm shower spray
And water rolls on off the round captain's belly
Who's talking to tigers from his cafeteria tray
And sweet babies cry for the cool taste of milking
That milky delight that invited us all
And if there's a taste in this life more inviting
Then wake up your windows and watch as those sweet babies crawl away

You could mess up my life in a poem
Have me divorced by the time of the chorus
There's no need to change any sentence
When you always decide where I go next
Many nights you would hide from the audience
When they were not in tune with your progress
In the end you're a fool like the journalist
Who turns what you sing into business
You could use to be more like a hero
A darker shade of damaged distortion
Wearing death like a cape or a costume
Cut your ties and leave town when you want to
Killing time I will pass through the chamber
or the room where you keep my replacement
So fed up, still you're starving on paper
You're no him but he's you only better
So leave me an exit to damage
I could use a ledge to jump off of
I wasn't lying when I said this was over
I have questions that lead to more questions
Running time that will cut off my fingers
You wrote about me on every new record
and I'll show up in the title of your song
Only hope somebody requests it
What's it like for you in Washington?
I've only seen photo's of Washington
and I'll never know...
Leave me Manhattan
I want the evergreens
Write me a song I can sing while I sleep
As sure as the rain that will fall where you stand
I want you and the skyline these are my demands
What's it like for you in Washington?
I've only seen photo's of Washington
and I'll never know...
