1.
In my bed where we were sleeping In the park where we would walk In those unsuspecting letters There's a silhouette of chalk And you can always tell which lover Loves the other lover more While you were sleeping in my arms My eyes were locked on the bedroom door And I don't want you anymore No I don't want you anymore Well what once was something sacred Somehow turned to something used Like a dirty hotel blanket Like a politician's shoes
2.
In my empty room I have a perfect point of view When I'm away from you In my empty room I have such a clear point of view When I'm away from you When I'm way across the street at night With you and them and everyone else I feel so blind When I'm alone at night Alone and no one else is in my sight I feel home
3.
I see you standing there with the tire post in your hand The blood pours from your pocket and forms a blanket on the ground And you're waiting there to die In the dusty darkened morning where the bankers wash their hands Where the poets pick up women and the politicians plan We are waiting there to die You walk me to the mirror and the glass is turning red The stains in my eye sockets have now seeped into my head And I'm waiting there to die You pick up all your pieces and you cover it with smoke But your lips are bloody and blistery and your necks wrapped in a rope And you're waiting there to die We are all waiting there to die

SLUS 03:27
Out in the unlit station Where ghosts whisper with the wind Where the fire flickers and then disappears We could find our way home again Or I could die below the autumn branches With the grave collectors mixing mud Without a hint of shelter In the cold coronary glove And when my mind starts aching When summer's soul begins to drip We could build a house with matchboxes and cigarettes And we'd lie inside there a bit Or I could die in an old steel mill Without a dream without a sound My skeleton would decompose In a place I'd never be found
5.
We will lie beneath the trees and stitch our scars We will hide below the breeze and sketch the stars We will stand between the seas and sing the songs of Where we went wrong, where we went wrong If you saw me now would you really expect anything else from me With all the words I say could you actually expect anything else from me We will walk into the sand and share our sorrows We will climb each crippled branch with thoughts we borrowed We will find the words we lost and sing the songs of Where we went wrong, where we went wrong If you saw me now would you really expect anything else from me With all the words I say could you actually expect anything else from me We will dive into the street and watch the cars go We will see our silhouettes between the bars We will count each word we said and sing the songs of Where we went wrong, where we went wrong

Ugliest Girl 01:39
You are the ugliest girl that I know Inside And that's where I want to be Inside your room Where regret and secrets loom On specks of silence You are the ugliest girl that I know Inside And that's where I want to be Beneath each web Of the lives that you once led And walked away from

I'm In Love 02:11
I'm in love With you I don't show it I don't know it And I'm pretty sure it ain't true I'm in love with you All the wind falls all around when you are near The trees they turn, they turn towards you when we are near I'm in love With you I don't know it I don't show it And I'm pretty sure it ain't true I'm in love with you The trees they tell me things that I don't want to hear So I look away, I look away and look to you my dear I'm in love With you I don't know it I don't show it And I'm pretty sure it ain't true I'm in love with you Love It's a really nice word, isn't it? I don't show it I don't know it And I'm pretty sure it ain't true I'm in love with you

Blues 02:34
My baby left me lying on the floor I struggled back and held her hand for more I saw her in that room Blood covering every pore

7/? 02:35
All this time away Brings back burning notes So tired and alone Sifting through a windy mind Movement in the light Silence in the night
10.
We are all of the same whole We are children of the ocean Guessing grasping dim-lit soul You are me and you are draining Don't hold your skin Don't grip your ground Your sacred thoughts are bound to break down Take some time to skip this stone Don't retreat to concrete comforts Certain sands are laced with gold They are ours and they are plenty Don't hold your skin Don't grip your ground Your sacred thoughts are bound to break down When the weather gets so cold know it now and know it's changing
