The Everlasting Gaze
you know i'm not dead
now you know where i've been
as you sleep
torn i am
weighted down
patiently
born of love
you know i'm not dead
i'm just living in my head
forever waiting
on the ways of your desire
you always find a way
and thru it all
into us all you move
forgotten touch
forbidden thought
we can never have enough
you know i'm not dead
found below
the creatures scream
stranglehold
a god machine
begging to
tear us out
worn as hope
you know i'm not dead i'm just the tears inside your head
forever waiting
on the ways of your desire
you always find a way
and thru it all into us all you move
forgotten touch
forbbiden tought
we can never have enough
you know i'm not dead
we all want to hold in the everlasting gaze
enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway,
but underneath the wheels lie the skull of every c.o.g
the fickle fascination of an everlasting god
you know i'm not dead
i'm just living in my head
forever waiting
forever waiting on cruel death
you know i'm not dead
i'm just living for myself
forever waiting
you know i'm not dead

Raindrops + Sunshowers
rain falls on every one
the same old rain
and i'm just trying to
walk with you
between the raindrops
i send my echo out
to get your love without
obscured reflections of
my love
rain falls on every one
the same old rain
and i'm just trying to
walk with you
between the raindrops
i'll save a prayer for you
so lost and longing to
be dragged thru dirty streets
wrapped up in clean white sheets
and if you think they'll what you now
you should know they wont
rain falls on every one
the same old rain
and i'm just trying to
walk with you
between the raindrops
and i'm just trying to
walk with you between the raindrops
i send my echo out
to get your love without
obscured reflections of
of my secret love
force down the words about
to get your love without
obscured reflections of my love
and i'm just trying to talk to you between the raindrops
rain falls on everyone the same old rain
and i'm just trying to walk with you
between the raindrops
rain falls on everyone
the same old rain
and i'm just trying
to walk with you between the raindrops
and i'm just trying to
walk with you between the raindrops

Stand Inside Your Love
you and me
meant to be
immutable
impossible
it's destiny
pure lunacy
incalculable
insufferable
but for the last time
you're everything that i want and ask for
you're all that i'd dreamed
who wouldn't be be the one you love
who wouldn't stand inside your love
protected and the lover of
a pure soul and beautiful you
don't understand
don't fell me now
i will breathe
for the both of us
travel the world
traverse the skies
your home is here
within my heart
and for the first time
i feel as though i am reborn
in my mind
recast as child and mystic sage
who wouldn't be the one you love
who wouldn't stand inside your love
and for the first time
i'm telling you how much i need and bleed for
your every move and waking sound
in my time
i'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind
you're mine forever now
who wouldn't be the one you love and live for
who wouldn't stand inside your love and die for
who wouldn't be the one you love

i'm alone

please don't go

i peer thru curtains on empty streets
behind a wall of caller i.d.
no one's out there
to hear if i care
about the troubles in the air
as i of the morning now come
pick up where my thoughts left off
cause i'm home to die on my own
as my radio
plays my favourite song
radio

don't you know

that radio
i'm alone
i blow the dust off my guitars
in the attic with the stars
i read your letters
to feel better
my tears upon the fading ink
as i of the morning now gone
pick up where my thoughts left off
cause i'm home to die on my own
as my radio
plays my favourite song
radio
radio
radio
i'm alone
radio

radio
please don't go
i sit in the dark light
to wait for ghost night
to bring the past alive
to make a toast lo life
cause i have survived
what is it you want
what is it you want to change
what is it you want
what is it you want to change

The Sacred And Profane
give me tears
give me love
let me rest
lord above
send the bored
your restless
the feedback scarred
devotionless
you're all a part of me now
and if i fall
you're all a part of me now
in the sun
you're all a part of me now
will our love ever be enough
just in time to prove
will our words ever be enough
just in time to lose
give me sight
and barren breast
pure snow and happiness
gime me peace
and i will prove
my release
you're all a part of me now
and if i fall
you're all a part of me now
trapped in the sun
you're all a part of me now
you're all a part of me now
will our love ever be enough
just in time to prove
will our time ever be enough
will our love ever be enough
you're all a part of me now
you're all a part of me now
you're all a part of me now
and if i fall
you're all a part of me now

Try, Try, Try
pop tart
what's our mission
do we know
but never listen
for too long
they held me under
but i hear
it's almost over
in detroit
on a memphis train
like you said it's
down in the heat and the summer rain of
the automatic gauze of your memories
down in the sleep at the airplane races
try to hold on
to this heart
a little bit longer
try to hold on
to this love aloud
try to hold on
for this heart's
a little bit colder
try to hold on
to this love
paperback scrawl your hidden poems
written around the dried out flowers
here we are still trading places
try to hold on
pop tart
can you envision a free world
of clear division
for too long
they held us under
but i know
we're getting over
in detroit
with the nashville tears
like you said it's
down in the heat with the broken numbers
down in the gaze of solemnity
down in the way you've held together
to try to hold on
to this heart
a little bit closer
try to hold on
to this love aloud
try to hold on
for this heart's
a little bit older
try to hold on
to this love aloud
and we are still alive
try to hold on
and we have survived
try to hold on
and no one should deny
we tried to hold onto the pulse of the feedback current
into the flow of encrypted movement
slapback kills the ancient remnants
that try to hold on
try to hold on
to this heart alive
try to hold on
to this love aloud
try to hold on
and we are still alive
try to hold on
and we have survived
try to hold on
pop tart
you never listen
skinned knees
try to hold on
stop start
what's our mission
skinned knees
try to hold on

This Time
this time i need to know
i really must be told
if it's over
it's up to you you know
the things you want to hold
are in pieces
crashing down
crashing down again
crashing down
crashing down my friends
i've got to move it on
i've got to sing my song
while i still can
dispatch the alarms
hand out the few last charms
there's no surprises
only love
only love can win
crashing down
crashing down again
only love
yeah only love will win
crashing down
crashing down again
this time i need to know
i really must be told
that it's over
i've lived my life alone
my every step foretold
to never linger
and yet it haunts me so
what are we letting go
our spell is broken
crashing down
crashing down my friends
crashing down
crashing down again
only love
yeah only love will
be enough
yeah only love will win
for every chemical
you trade a piece of your soul
with no return
and who you think you know
doesn't know you at all
their drain is needless
someday we'll wave hello
and wish we'd never waved goodbye
to this romance
we'll drink up every line
and shoot up every word
till there's no more
crashing down
crashing down my friends
only love
only love can win
so cry these tears we'll cry as all
we've held so long to fall apart
as the curtain falls we bid you all goodnight

The Imploding Voice
everywhere you are
is everywhere you've been
just lost to the beat
punching thru your skin
you don't know what to do
but still you wanna crawl
all thru the broken glass
that's everywhere you are
your love must always be true
your love must always be you
everywhere you are
anywhere you go
even if you're starved
it matters what you do
but even if you've gone too far
you can follow you
everywhere you are
and in your mind
you were alone
all this time
with everything you were
and every smile you wore
still locked in your heart
everywhere you are
everywhere you are
every single chard
everywhere you are
you're never too far
cause anywhere you'd go
even to the stars
all you have to do
is play the part of who you are
the rest it's up to yuo
phase unwound
by yourself
atom bomb
on the shelf unsung
pause of light
pulse of life
new face dawns
everywhere you are
and everywhere you go
even if you're down
even if you're low
the thought of you
it's in the eyes of all
astride a storied past
that's everywhere you are
your love must always be true
your love must always be you
every where you are
anywhere you go
even if you're scarred
it's all a part of you
but ever should you put it down
you can never lose me
everywhere you are

Glass and the Ghost Children
to the center of earth
or anywhere god decides
full of fever pulling forth
we hear our call as all
to the center of earth
as if written in
dna is reaching out
to your frecuency
i want to live
don't want to die
i want to live
i want to try
all in prayer
prayer in all
all are scared
scared of all
black rooms are calling
to men in leather coats
white labs are cooking up the silver ghost
spiders wonder what we've got us in
all is you
you are all
all with you
you in all
i want to live
i don't want to die
i want to live
i want to try
.
so beats the final coda
of a vinyl storm
one more cherry cola to lift up her dead arms
a dream of soft focus sunsets filters thru the din
we are losing contact
as she dials it in
she can hear glass calling
or is it someone else that looks like him
she eyes tv reflection and nods a knowing look
she says it doesn't matter
she never liked her looks
i have senn a thousand fractures
i have seen everything
cause knowing is it's own answer
love something in a book
there's not much left to ponder
not much left to cook
as she counted the spiders
as they crawled up inside her
as she counted the spiders
as they crawled up inside her

Wound
there you are
as you always were
in bathing light
and naked blur
you're a part of me
eternal love
by grand design
and setting sun
if you wait i will wait
taste i will taste
if you love i will love
run i will run
to my last breath
last night i turned around and thought i saw myself turning
inside the strangest dream of live unloved and cities burning
awake in my arms
you cry unharmed
our age of the hours
while they still devour all
so take it all
i doubt if we
will know it's gone
cause we've been here
since time began
begged god awake and make these plans
wound opens
reveal this broken man
and soon there's notions of blood on his hands
if you wait i will wait
taste i will taste
if you love i will love
run i will run
to my last breath
last night i turned around and thought i saw myself turning
last night i turned around and thought i watched the world ending
inside the crushing down i felt a pang the tide was turning
destroyed in the wake 
the jelous ingrates
who'll tear this world down
to spite god above
with his own love
with his own love
if you wait
if you wait
if you wait i will wait
taste i will taste
if you love i will love
run i will run
to my last breath

The Crying Tree Of Mercury
this is the song i've been singing my whole life
i've been waiting like a knife
to cut open your heart
and bleed my soul to you
i did it all for you
you and you and you and you
this is the sound i've been making my whole life
i've been waiting for this night
to clear up all the talk
althought i'm selfish to a fault
is it selfish it's you i want
you i did it all for you
this love will stand as long as you
there's really no excuse
i did it all for you
these are the tears i've been crying my whole life
like an ocean of desire
i'm reaching thru the noise
across the dusk of time
within the lilting lies
i am singing out to you

With Every Light
taking over
we're taking over
throw the weight up off you shoulders now
that we can show our love
it's almost over it's almost over
no more war and no more soldiers
to stand against his love
away with all the troubles that you've made
away with waiting for another day
away
look ma the sun is shining on me
impatient, in love and aching to be
could you believe in heaven
if heaven was all you had
we're taking over we're taking over
throw away your four leafed clovers
and stand beside this love
away with everything you've grown to hate
away with anything that holds you safe
away
and every light i've found
is every light that's shining down on me
i'm never alone
look ma the sun is shining on me
taking my time to do as i please
could you believe in heaven
if heaven was all you had
the sun is beaming, radiating
all the love we are creating
we are creating
and every light i've found
is every light that's shining down on me
i'm never alone

Blue Skies Bring Tears
unleash the armaggedon
so all the children go to heaven
i sit by quiet still
with their pictures in my eyes
you'll draw the guns you're given
write down the words as written
and never disturb the presence of resurrection crutch
and it's about time
it's about drawing near
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
descend the darkened stairways
make hate with plastic playmates
and fire out he remaining traces of your self steem
mainline the deepest secrets
lick clean the dirty fingers
i am a stranger to you as you are to yourself
and it's about time
it's about fear
blue skies bring tears
don't you want me
as i awake the city sigh
we'll watch the seasons die
blue skies bring tears
take me inside your body
cover me with your soul
to the darkest recess
is where i wish to go
you are the sweetest flower
that i have ever devoured
i ask for nothing given
for nothing in return
blue skies bring tears

Age Of Innocence
we dismiss the back roads
to ride these streets unafraid
resigned to scraping paint
from our bones unashamed
no more the eye upon you
no more the simple man
desolation yes
hesitation no
desolation yes
hesitation no
as you might have guessed all is never shown
desolation yes
hesitation no
and in my prayers i dream alone
a silent speech to deaf hear
if you want love you must be love
but if you bleed love you will die loved
no more the lie upon you
cast in stone and autumn shade
desolation yes
hesitation no
desolation yes
hesitation no
as you might have sensed we won't make it home
desolation yes
hesitation no
before the rites of spring 
come to mean all things
a little taste
of what may come
a mere glimpse of what has gone
cause for the moment we are free
we seek to bind our release
too young to die to rich to care
too fucked to swear that i was there
desolation yes
hesitation no
desolation yes
hesitation no
as you might have guessed we won't make it home
desolation yes
hesitation no
