I've cut loose again,
I'm chasing out the news again,
Finding out that I'm a fool again,
Kissing ivory with wile.
Please save my heart before it cracks and needles into my sorry mind.
I've gone to find me a new friend below the devil's mind.
I go there and back again,
I just want to feel good again,
Killing me and mine sounds like truth again,
Kissing ivory with wile.
Please save my eyes before they close and roll off into my aching head.
I've got to find my sins, my friends. They are there beneath the mind.
Here I am, lost at hand, wondering where I've been.
Missing you, missing me.
Who am I supposed to be?

Oh momma, you're a different shade of red and I'm a dog with two names again. Oh father, you're just a little bird and you have yet to learn how to fly.
Oh tell me teacher the right words to get by. I'm not the young thing, I'm nothing and I've lost the light.
Before I fade away into another day speak truth to me.

Hanging Wall

Swaying soft down stream, I drink memory. I am low, I may eat the shame. On the wall, she hangs. I wither deep. Oh willow, I see myself it seems.

Bunny

When you've got money on your mind and your little honey is right by your side and you say, "Little bunny, why don't you do something for me? Go and get me money using your birds and bees."
Now you've got money but your honey, she's high. Yes, she still loves you but now she's going to die. And you say, "Little bunny, why don't you do something for me? Don't you die on me honey. Money is nothing to me."

The Ocean's Thief

Home of waves fall on me, hold my breath, make me thieve. Call my name livid bay. Songs she sings, hear her tease. Oh my god, my mind. Oh my god, my mind, my life.

Tales of a Lone Blossom

I'm the puppet who likes to prove it can walk. Call me by my name and say you don't want me and I'll be on my mind steering you wrong. I'll say, "I don't love you but please don't leave me."
I'm the wandering ghost haunting my sleepless doubts. I'm a wandering ghost.
I won't stop thinking about you.
The fool who pulled no strings tied himself up in dreams.
There she goes again. She's alone again.
I'm the wandering ghost haunting my sleepless doubts. I'm a wandering ghost.
The fool who pulled no strings tied himself up in dreams. I'm a wandering ghost.

She's a Girl

She's a girl whose father was a bad man. Her mother would cry herself to sleep. She's a girl who lives a sad sad world. The knife in her mind far too deep.
Ignorance would do her good.
Innocence would do her more.
She's a girl who doesn't do too good. A girl only broken and nothing else. She's a girl whose mother had no other choice and together they tore at their health.
Ignorance would do them good.
Innocence would do them more.
So she dug herself a hole and tied herself a rope. And he says, "Sleep."
All she can do is sleep.
Sleep my little girl, my little girl.

Last Dream
05:41

|

You cradle your skull like it's your last hold. Your dreams are coming back, you're falling off track.
What do you do when you meet bad bad news? What do you do when you meet bad bad news?
Stolen by a memory you tried so hard to hide. Again and again you died, you died. You try, try to make them go away. Make them bad dreams run away. You run, run away.
What do you do when you meet bad bad news?
