you are Heaven you are what I wanted you are something left coarse and haunted you holy you are enchanted you are heartbeats that I took for granted this is the dawning of the loves of our lives, alright so find your sons, and daughters, mothers, fathers, husbands, and wives you can't explain some shit away Heaven awaits me Heaven awaits me [...just your tongue in my mouth] you are savage with legs built of bruises barely mortal you are more than human but your heart beats and your veins bleed oooooo we are ghosts under sheets this is the instant when the bee's take the hive from the queen you are the stormcloud that has come to wash me pristene you can't explain some shit away Heaven awaits me Heaven awaits me

Static state go away go away I want to feel a little conscious by the end of the day I tend to feel a little nauseous when you're pushing away Some things we talked about its hard to talk about you right now you look like algae bloom when you're down we used to walk around now I walk without you around that's hard to talk about Still water I want to shout like a thundercloud yell my lungs right out of my mouth you look like algae bloom when you're down The woman on my voicemail machine doesn't have a lot to say because you don't have a lot to say to me today static state go away go away I'd like to feel a little conscious by the end of the day

Lazy day, someone calls me I would like to see myself at a party across the room wouldn't you? Crazy night, did we not speak? I close my eyes and see you and you freak out tall and loud, mean and proud If your rain won't fall mine soon will falling fast upon me like an anvil on coyote, that's me and fall I might and skin my knees or sink beneath the surface 'til I'm buried and fall I may into darker days Racing through the morning, sleeping through the night opening my eyes, dilating in the light shivering my bones dry, shaking with delight if God had sent his own sign it wouldn't look like mine I am not my own priest and you have not been yours fashionably distant, casually coarse rationally wasted--the time is gone, of course passionately razed but the weather's wrong, the time is gone I do not want a solitary life, I don't want to die young

lyrics Keep it inside Our hearts inside the tide Keep my mouth shut and my body warm Keep the door locked We'll wait out the storm Keep it inside Our hearts against the tide And my children, they won't have a say on the future or the present day Keep it inside Our hearts beside the tide And it's a terrible thing to see When all the things you ever wanted Are just cast into the sea With all the things we ever needed And your entire family Is just another casualty Keep it inside Our hearts inside our minds And my neighbors are still strangled From the telephone wires that dangle Keep it inside Our hearts against our minds I'm a father I'm a mother I'm a daughter I'm a brother Keep it inside Our hearts beside our minds And it's a terrible thing to see When all the things you ever wanted Are just cast into the sea With all the things we ever needed And your entire family Is just another casualty

I came to you a grain of sand a mere shadow of a mountain an empty shell, save for a tiny heart nestled in a guilty conscience unsatisfied, I cut my own chest open and O, how I was mistaken 'cause O, my heart was wider than the oceans. The expanse of my heart was exponential a boundless, new realized potential but O, how to make it beat? but you said, "Hush, Gabrielle," and you reached inside and squeezed and my hesitant heart began to beat. I came to you a grain of sand a mere shadow of a mountain you took my hand and in my ear you whispered, "New York is not where you belong, but O, together we'll be strong and steadfast as rock and we'll find somewhere we can gather moss until our amassing mountain stands aloft."

You smile nervously as I bear my teeth. If I could pin you down onto the concrete I would. Doesn’t this feel so unnatural to you? The specks of blood drop on your t-shirt, so excuse me if I stare It’s the only thing I know how to do at a time like this For the first time in months, I think I’m in love
7.
It's Not A War It's not a prayer, it's not a war it's not some baby you left before they were born and it's not a drug you love to take it's not some useless worn out mistake because there's never been nothin' like this before it's just some broken bottles you left lying on the shore And it's not an excuse you used to use it's not some word you loved but then you loved to abuse and it's not a lady all dressed in red holding her eyes to the ground with a turban 'round her head because there's never been nothin' like this before it's just some broken bottles you left lying on the shore And it's not a lie you like to tell about the time the angels came and they raised all hell and it's not about you but it might be about me soaked in sweat and rage in the centre of the city because there's never been nothin' like this before it's just some broken bottles you left lying on the shore And I'm all alone, in the centre of the city One more time

You let me go, so now I'll never know The way that you look in all white But I'm not bitter, even though we're not together And I hope you feel good tonight Because I know you belong to me I always said that I'd never beg you If you left me behind And now you know that what I say is true And girl, you know that you're mine I spend all my nights in mourning Waiting for you to come back in the morning But I won't have to wait forever 'Cause I know that we're gonna be together Girl, you belong to me And even though I don't have any money, I know I'm enough for you You can't get enough of me, honey How can I get that through to you? I'd be crucified forever If I could feel your denim, your leather And I'd bow before my savior If I could just taste your sweet flavor Girl, you belong to me I know that you think you'd be better off If you were alone But girl, it's not that easy walking home on your own Girl, you belong to me I know that it's not easy But girl, you belong to me

I'm gonna love you til the sun explodes yeah, then we'll set fire to the dark you got this power that I'm trying to understand I only feel free when I'm under your command It's Halloween and I don't know who I am All I wanna but is Anna's man but her desire is a darkness throbbing in the mist Anna put your hands upon me I'm tremblin' beneath your kiss you lead me through a maze of perfumes you dressed my wounds in a golden room in a golden room but love alone could never save a man's soul girl, I was scared, I was out of control I was out of control O sweet Anna Queen of Scorpions She's waiting for me by the bed Got a knife inside her pretty hands Sweet Anna Queen of Scorpions I feel into a new circle of hell Standing with you in that cold stairwell You grabbed collar, took one step close and then let go I saw your eyes and lord I lost all hope Anna your ripping all the air from my lungs burning my flesh with these fiery tongues When I hear your name my pulse quickens You know if we ain't lovers we cannot be friends You give me a look that would make any man freeze "So do you think you know me" Girl don't do that to me Girl don't do that to me Can't you see That I could ask you the same? How come we held back We had so much to gain We had so much to gain O sweet Anna Queen of Scorpions She's waiting for me by the bed Gotta knife inside her pretty hands Sweet Anna Queen of Scorpions Anna Anna Anna Lemme show how true and deep my love is But it don't matter to you Cuz you're already past this O sweet Anna Queen of Scorpions She's waiting for me by the bed Gotta knife inside her pretty hands Sweet Anna Queen of Scorpions Sweet Anna Queen of Scorpions Sweet Anna Queen of Scorpions
