I cannot close my eyes
I cannot dry these eyes
Heavy the wait upon me
Take another stone off of me
When will the stressing end
When did the message fail to send
Why is this always on me?
The world in my hands, don't bother me
Comfort I'm always seeking
Sleep is always fleeting
In a cold web I'm caught
I cannot feel my pulse
Dripping infinites
Do you see me? I'm breaking
Do you want me? I'm waiting
Where can I call my shelter?
I do not know, I better run
Running for days and nights
Looking for another place to hide
Gutters and alleyways
I feel like I'm fading away
Dripping infinites
Stuck in infinity
Trapped in infinity

Midnight Animals

Do dogs wag their tail for you
Do they bark and run
Do they come back in midnight packs
Do you take in all the runts?
Do the cats hiss and chase you
Do they beg milk and mice
When the fur sheds in summer rain
Do you bring them in again?
Good God, Mother
Your heart is wide open
Midnight Animals
Always come for you
When the grandkids come on holiday
Do they warm your lonely heart
Like the animals that come to you
Unconditional
Sorry, I have to leave you now
I can't take more from you
Your final day approaches
I'll see you in sky blue
Good God, Mother
Your heart is wide open
Midnight Animals
Always comfort you

No way home you say
Lovely faith baby
Don't wait up for me
Sad
Please don't say maybe
I know why baby
I can't say your name
Sad
Ill be right here
Always right here
Don't be like me

All About Me (My Space)
04:38

I'm walking through the storm with this big grin in my face
Nothing can do me wrong in my safe space
In my space
In my space
Dark clouds follow me round but they don't bother me
Lightning struck twice but it only hurt me
Only hurt me
Only hurt me
I was born without a silver spoon around
I never was a bother to anyone around
No one around
No one around
Everyone back in high school came to me always
Like a grand wizard with a beard on his face
Out of place
Out of place
Here we are, here and now all around me
Telling stories good and bad all about me
It's all about me
All about me

Wishing I'd Return
01:26
|
|||
|
I open eyes that wish were closed
Sunlight burns right through my clothes
It hurts to see you go
But I dropped the feeling years ago
By complaining they want more
I didn't know what foe
Heroes show their scars for whores
Nothing makes you happy
Til they're bleeding on your sheets
I've drowned myself, I've given in
I let the world become my funeral
And then you came in crying
Wishing I'd return

Cryin' for 37
03:57
|
|||
|
Im'a slacking, Im'a licking on a leg that aint a'limpin'
Heaven aint but 37 meters 'way from home
Tonguing til Im longing already balling for some lovin'
But my lady aint a lady anymo'
37 is the cure for a man who aint mature
Im bleeding tears from a thousand fallen sperm
Im a weirdo on a level not justifiable, not a rebel
Leave me be, there aint no hope, not anymo'
Ill be happy with a lady but not a hooker kind of lady
The kind of lady whos in love with Kryptonite
A superwoman, lady, suicidial with a tendency of bringing weakness on a height of knee high boots
