Celebration

I’m afraid that I may
be losing my head
But this is the happiest that I
That I’ve ever been
You see my problems are
The same as my solutions
I party by myself most nights
But it’s no celebration
I’m afraid that I may
Already be dead
And this must be hell destined to haunt myself
Relentlessly, endlessly, for my sins
I walk around this place like a headless goat
While I see the sheep get stuffed full of the holy ghost
I’m polite and I’m pleasant like a talk show host
Pantomime all the lines in my horoscope
Que sera que sera what will be will be
The future is not ours to see
But I do
When I dream
Hey apathy
Will you kill the pain inside of me?
Hey apathy
You give me all that i need

Prelude

She walks above me on the wire
Like a performer in the circus
I burn below her in the fire
Waiting for her chemicals to lose their balance
(Then I will devour)
Wish I may I wish I might become the apple of your eye
With a butterfly net I’ll catch you
She pulls me like an undertow, a wilderness, a puppet show
With a butterfly knife she’ll cut you
I would do anything you want
I would do anything you want
I would do anything you want
I would do anything you want
She can see right into my soul
She blows her kisses through the holes
This ache of love is nothing new, the poison on the sugar cube
That smile may prove to be just as lethal
She dances like an angel with her halo ‘round her ankles
And her heart on her sleeve, and it’s beating for me
I would do anything you want
I would do anything you want
I would do anything you want
I would do anything you want
I would do anything you want
I would do anything you want
I would do anything you want
I will do anything you want

You claim
that nothing makes it go away
There’s nothing I could do or say
To make you stay
This world
All it does is cause you pain
So you must “alleviate”
To make you sane
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
In space
The stars all lose their names
And no one knows my face
And I will find my place
Among the fallen saints
There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There’s no knowing where we’re rowing
Or which way the river’s flowing
In space
The stars all lose their names
And no one knows my face
And I will find my place
Among the fallen saints
Among the fallen saints
Among the fallen saints
Among the fallen

There's no earthly way of knowing

Ghost
06:05
|
|

If I close my eyes
I can see the way your body lie
You never leave my mind
Like a melody you mesmerize
I can hardly sleep
haunted by the scent
Of you in my sheets
How could I forget
I can see it clear
Haunted by the sex In my ceiling mirror
Now you see her
Now you don’t
Like a fever
Like a ghost
If I close my eyes
I can still feel the way you burned deep inside
And you, you never leave my mind
You’ve become a phantom, a fantasy, I promised I’d never say…goodbye
If I sleep
As deep as I can
I’ll find in dreams I can have anything
In dreams I have you back

Déjà Vu
04:09

All the world is a stage
But won’t you please tell me your real name?
I swear I won’t tell a soul
Eyes burn like the fires of hell
I can’t help myself
I am under your spell
I come inside
Lights flash and shine
Flesh moves all over the room
Sweat, sex and perfume
Make your dreams come true
(she says)
“I’ve been dancing here all night long and I have been waiting for you”
She takes me by the hand and leads me into her confessional booth
I tell her of my sins, she grinds my lap and she grins, asks me “baby is this where it hurts?”
Strangers have the sweetest candy and this one's offering hers
I fantasize
What it'd be like
Inching deeper inside
I could eat you alive

Déjà Vu.

I’ve been waiting here all night long for you, where have you been?
She wraps her arms around my waist and says she had to work late again
Then the tears cascade down the devils angel soft skin
She takes my shaking hands and puts them on her heart and tells me “This is where it hurts, and this is where it ends”
Cause all the high heels and short skirts
Just make the pain that much worse
You know the highs are lasting so much shorter than they ever did before, is this what you think you deserve?
Is this what you believe that we deserve?
We could run away
Let me get you out of this place this place
We can go to San Francisco or your sisters in L.A.
We can become something different, yeah maybe we can be saved
She says
“Oh darling, all the world’s a stage”
and she says
“Oh darling, all the world’s a stage”

Hangman
02:56

I wrote you a song
To remember me when I’m gone
I know what I’ve done
And i know there is no place to run
The trap is set like the sun, soon my neck and my shadow will both stretch long
My future hangs on a thread, dangling at the bottom of a beam on that hill
No kingdom come
No forgiveness, and no pardon
Just the beat of his drum
Is the last song, for the hangman, he comes

Thick As Thieves
03:05
|
|

Driving down the freeway with my eyelids shut
Counting fast frantic seconds, until I open them up
You’ve got your hand on the wheel, I’ve got my foot on the gas
Time slows down like honey, I let go, I feel alive at last
Here in the womb we feel so light
The street lights start to blossom and scribble in the sky
We drove for miles and miles, highs angels, through the fog
With our hearts on fire, waves of pleasure, burning surging through our blood
You and me
Are thin as weeds
Tonight we’ll be
As thick as thieves
Our eyes we’re swallowed up by black ink pools
Inhibitions and clothes flew away like balloons
My aura burst at the seams, we cleaned and purged our souls
Mascara ran all down her cheeks, she never looked more beautiful
I kept my heart safe in a tourniquet
Bound and caged in my ribs, to keep from bleeding to death
She let it loose from its prison, she went and made it her pet
She promised to return it the day the smoke returned to her cigarette
You and me
We’re thin as weeds
In time our dreams
Would die like leaves

Camerman

You’re my favorite movie star
And don’t you try and tell me
That everything is happening for a reason
The cameras are rolling
And chaos is all that they’re seeing
The villain of the scene
Is the voyeur watching everything
From the safety of his screen
How many sidewalks have you thrown up on?
Baby how many bathrooms have you fucked in?
Maybe I could have saved you but I was just your cameraman
Glass of wine and she’s feeling fine
She feels the sunrise on the inside
Though it’s the middle of the night
A couple bottles later and she starts to wonder
How she’ll hide her suicide from the neighbors
But she’s not brave enough to try
Can’t hide
The killer in those eyes
They illuminate at night
How many sidewalks have you thrown up on?
Baby how many bathrooms have you fucked in?
Maybe I could have saved you but I was just your cameraman
Tell me how many hits till you feel better?
Baby how many licks to get to your center?
I want you now more than ever, it’s sickening

Someday my body
Will return to the sea
And I’ll shed off my armor
To release my true being
And my skeleton will wash shore
On a distant land
And children will fashion my bones into a castle
Atop the sand
And it will be magnificent, yeah suited for a king
And people will travel from far just to see
A sculpture of perfection, something wonderful and grand
Something far greater, then when those bones held up a man

Time Machine

If you had a time machine
And you could go back to only one moment
What would you say?
Would you be afraid?
To see him through the window of his room
Lying on his bed, big thoughts in his head
Dreaming of you
Counting on you
Green glow-in-the-dark sticker stars
Swirling in a ceiling fan galaxy
And posters on the walls of the gods
He was predetermined to grow up to be
Did I do all I could do?
Did I give all that I had?
Did I listen to my heart…
Or my head?
To sit down with the ten year old little “you”
And explain to him why none of his dreams come true
What would you say? (Kyrie)
Would you be ashamed? (Kyrie)
Green glow-in-the-dark sticker stars
Swirling in a ceiling fan galaxy
And posters on the walls of the gods
He was predetermined to grow up to be
Did you do all you could do?
Did you give all that you had?
Did you listen to the child in your heart?
Our heart
…my heart
