- hey, look up! you don't have to be a ghost here amongst the living. you are flesh and blood and you deserve to be loved and you deserve what you are given
- for those of you who told me I should stay indoors, take care of you and yours
- oh, but I'm not bitter, I'm just tired. no use getting angry at the way that you're wired
- you kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath
- don't go out much, cause there's too many bugs and I'm way too obsessed with death to do any drugs
- I can see you starin', honey like he's just your understudy, like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me
- I have only two emotions, careful fear and dead devotion
- now every morning since the line between my lives I greet the sun and ask "have I already died?"
- the saddest part about the darkest hours, the implication that the fault was ours
- be gentle with yourself as you uncover your best kept secrets, yet to be discovered
- my heart is like a haunted house, there's things in there that scratch about. they make their music in the night then in the day they give me such a fright
- well I can't think of any reason why I couldn't add a little dancing to your dying
- gleaming, twinkling, eyes like sinking ships on waters so inviting I almost jump in
- can't love somebody who loves burning bridges
- cover me in honeysuckle memories
- oh, I can't stop you putting roots in my dreamland
- baby you're like lightning in a bottle. I can't let you go now that I got it. all I need is to be struck by your electric love
- wake up to the sound of your fleeting heart
- we could have had a cornucopia, instead we asked for total abject paranoia
- I think just like a child, you try to burn my mind
- I wanna be like the future shine high on a new horizon. don't wanna be like an old man looking for a hill to die on
- I bathe in cliffside pools with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief.
- babe, there's something tragic about you, something so magic about you, don't you agree? babe, there's something lonesome about you, something so wholesome about you, get closer to me
- when you walk out the door, and leave me torn you're teaching me to live without it
- I'm not certain I'm not a ghost. Is this free will or am I doing as I'm told? I know shadows follow the rules but what if tonight by the mercy of light I could choose
- your beauty never ever scared me
- She's made of water and wine, it's only natural she cries. you can imagine that it's magic any time she smiles
- I knew you tried to change the ending, Peter losing Wendy. I knew you, leaving like a father, running like water
- I may be low right now, but I can see so clearly. there's only one decision in the valley of vision
- I'm only honest when it rains, if I time it right the thunder breaks
- All the fear and the fire of the end of the world happens each time a boy falls in love with a girl
- Get it down to nothing, everything that matters - fever flashes, eyelashes, and traffic patterns. Humidity, history, chemisty, and panic. Swimsuits in the windows of electric minivans
- My grief it gets me, the weird goodbyes
- I don't like that falling is like flying til the bone crush
- I wanna know the measure from here to forever and I wanna feel the pressure of God or whatever
- I swear to God I wasn't born to fight. maybe just a little bit, enough to make me sick of it
- I need him like water, he thinks that I'm alright
- Idealism sits in prison, Chivalry fell on his sword. Innocence died screaming, honey ask me I should know, I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door
- No matter how many times I tell myself I have to be sincere, I have a hard time standing up and facing those fears
- If I was born as a blackthorn tree I'd wanna be felled by you, held by you, fuel the pyre of your enemies
- An ugly confession, I think that I'm broken when I try to be open
- I'm in a state again, but I stay polite, I stay polite. It keeps me alive.
- I couldn't utter my love when it counted, oh but I'm singing like a bird about it now.
- Distant men ain't fine as they used to be - the handsomest guys are caring and nearby
- I want you to move me, step into the moonlight, throw your weight in to me
- I was a beekeeper in a time of arson and pillaging
- I'm looking for an artefact, a piece of me that's still intact. I'm looking for an artefact, what part of me can still attract you?
- The more I become a person, the more the pain worsen
- I don't wanna be the owner of your fantasy, I just wanna be a part of your family
- Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
- No one wanted to play with me as a little kid, so I've been scheming like a criminal ever since, to make them love me and make it seem effortless. This is the first time I've felt the need to confess, and I swear, I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian cause I care
- I thought we had no chance, and that's romance
- When the wheels come off I'll be your spare, and when the party's over I'll be stacking the chairs
- Tell me how do you do it, you keep shining through it, stubborn as a sunflower. Finding light with your movement, and guiding us to it.
- They're going to see you if they want to. You won't have to make somebody love you.
- When I was younger, younger and prouder, I was nobody.
- Consumption makes her stronger, you're the sweetest anaconda
- i'm not alone, i'll never be, and to the bone, I'm evergreen
- you're on your own kid, you always have been
- she has the poison inside her, she talks to snakes and they guide her
- are you going to age with grace? are you going to leave a path to trace? oblivion is calling out your name
- But the river takes her shape from every tempest she abides, and like her you'll be made new again. Let it come down, let it come down, let it make in you a new river.
- and how best to serve this changing earth, awakening here in this moment, the beckoning call of our wild rebirth
- But I took your matches before fire could catch me, so don't look now. I'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town
- the dream never ceases, it weaves on and on then it breaks free
- You don't have to fit into the mold, you are not here to conform__
- Pattern of mind, going forward in rewind
- But what would you do if I break free and leave us in ruins, take this dagger in me and remove it?
- My love should be celebrated, but you tolerate it
- I made you my temple, my mural, my sky, now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life
- Underneath what's detectable with eyes every particle's vibrating with the one life
- Leave me where the light pours down through the trees like rain
- And when I'm finally old enough to learn to play the game, the dinosaurs will roam the earth and resume their bloody reign
- Affection is the sharpest blade, a psychic kiss across the waves
- I don't want to have a dagger tongue, I don't want my words to be a weapon but a healing balm
- They're gonna see you if they want to, you won't have to make somebody love you
- I hate you for what you did, and I miss you like a little kid
