1.Siva

Lyrics:Billy Corgan
Music:Billy Corgan

I spin off and lose my head
Throwing stray a spark instead
Gather strength down in my heel
And dig it in the world I peel

Way down deep within my heart
Lies a soul that's torn apart
Tell me, tell me what you're after
I just want to get there faster

I don't live - I inhale
I don't give - I unveil
Don't want to live in your misery
I don't live - I inhale

Sprinkle all my kisses on your head
Stars full of wishes fill our beds
She said, 'I'm dead'

All this pain smothers me
Like a bomb that you can't see
Tell me, tell me what you're after
I just want to get there faster

I don't live - I inhale
I don't give - I unveil
I don't live - I inhale
I don't live


2.Rhinoceros

Lyrics:Billy Corgan
Music:Billy Corgan

Planned a show
Trees and Balloons
Ice cream snow
See you in June

Could have known
I would reveal
Should have known
I would conceal your way

She knows, she knows, she knows
She knows, she knows, she knows
How's it
She knows, she knows, she knows

Colors show
After the moon
I should go
See you in June
Your way

Open your eyes
To these must I lie?


3.Drown

Lyrics:Billy Corgan
Music:Billy Corgan

No matter where you are
I can still hear you when you drown
You've traveled very far
Just to see you I'll come around
When I'm down
All of those yesterdays
Coming around

No matter where you are
I can still hear you when you dream
You traveled very far
You traveled far, like a star
And you are
All of those yesterdays
Coming around

Is it something someone said?
Was it something someone said?

Yesterday the sky was you
And I still feel the same
Nothing left for me to do
And I still feel the same

I wish, I wish I could fly
I wish, I wish I could lie
I will, I will try
I will, I will
Goodbye


4.Cherub Rock

Lyrics:Billy Corgan
Music:Billy Corgan

Freak out
And give in
Doesn't matter what you believe in
Stay cool
And be somebody's fool this year
'cause they know
Who is righteous, What is bold
So I'm told

Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?

Hipsters unite
Come align for the big fight to rock for you
But beware
All those angels with there wings glued on
'cause deep down
We are frightened and we're scared
If you don't stare

Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?

Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out

Tell me all of your secrets
Cannot help but believe this is true
Tell me all of your secrets
I know, I know, I know,
Should have listened when I was told

Who wants honey
As long as there is some money
Who wants that honey?

Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out


5.Today

Lyrics:Billy Corgan
Music:Billy Corgan

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out

I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out

Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings

Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day

I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you

Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever really known


6.Disarm

Lyrics:Billy Corgan
Music:Billy Corgan

Disarm you with a smile
And cut you like you want me to
Cut that little child
Inside of me and such a part of you
Ooh, the years burn

I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my choice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you

Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn

I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my voice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you

The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you


7.Landslide

Written:Stevie Nicks(Fleetwood Mac)

I took my love, I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Til the landslide brought it down

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Well, I've been afraid of changing cause I've
Built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older, too

Well, I've been afraid of changing cause I've
Built my life around you
Time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older, too
I get older, too

I took my love and took it down
I climbed a mountain, I turned around
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
The landslide brought it down
The landslide brought it down


8.Bullet with Butterfly Wings

Lyrics:Billy Corgan
Music:Billy Corgan

The World is a vampire,sent to drain
Secret destroyers,hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
Even though I know-I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold-like old job
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say
What is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show
And what do you want, I want to change
And what have you got
When you feel the same
Even though I know-I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold-like old job
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say
What is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was an only son
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
And I still believe that I cannot be saved


9.1979

Lyrics:Billy Corgan
Music:Billy Corgan

Shakedown 1979, Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never seen an end to it all
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see

That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we'd thought we'd go
Beneath the sound of hope

Justine never knew the rules
Hung down with the freaks and ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it

To see that we don't care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see there's no one around


10.Zero

Lyrics:Billy Corgan
Music:Billy Corgan

My reflection, dirty mirror
There's no connection to myself
I'm your lover, I'm your zero
I'm in the face of your dreams of glass
So save your prayers
For when we're really gonna need'em
Throw out your cares and fly
Wanna go for a ride?

She's the one for me
She's all I really need
Cause she's the one for me
Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me
Intoxicated with the madness, I'm in love with my sadness
Bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms
The fasion victims chew their charcoal teeth
I never let on, that I was on a sinking ship
I never let on that I was down
You blame yourself, for what you can't ignore
You blame yourself for wanting more
She's the one for me
She's all I really need
She's the one for me
She's my one and only


11.Tonight, Tonight

Lyrics:Billy Corgan
Music:Billy Corgan

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without
Leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
You will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe
That life can change
that you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same, we're different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade
In your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe
In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there's not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
We'll crucify the insincere tonight
We'll make things right,we'll feel it all tonight
We'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight


12.Eye

Lyrics:Billy Corgan
Music:Billy Corgan

I lie
I wait
I stop
I hesitate
I am
I breathe
I meant
I think of me
Is it any wonder I can't sleep
All I have is all you gave to me
Is it any wonder I've found peace
Through you
Turn to the gates of heaven
To myself be damned
Turn away from life
It's not enough
Just a touch
It's not enough
I taste
I love
I come
I bleed enough
I hate
I'm not
I was
I want too much
Is it any wonder I can't sleep
All I have is all you gave to me
Is it any wonder I've found peace
Through you
Turn to the gates of heaven
To myself be damned
Turn away from life
It's not enough
Just a touch
It's not enough....


13.Ava Adore

Lyrics:Billy Corgan
Music:Billy Corgan

It's you that I adore
You will always be my whore
You'll be a mother to my child
And a child to my heart
We must never be apart
We must never be apart
Lovely girl you're the beauty in my world
Without you there aren't reasons left to find
And I'll pull your crooked teeth
You'll be perfect just like me
You'll be a lover in my bed
And a gun to my head
We must never be apart
We must never be apart
Lovely girl you're the murder in my world
Dressing coffins for the souls I've left to die
Drinking mercury
To the mystery of all
That you should ever leave behind
In time
In you see I dirty
In you I count stars
In you I feel so pretty
In you I taste God
In you I feel so hungry
In you I crash cars
We must never be apart
Drinking mercury
To the mystery of all
that you should ever seek to find
Lovely girl you're the murder in my world
Dressing coffins for the souls I've left behind
In time
We must never be apart
And you'll always be my whore
Cause you're the one that I adore
And I'll pull your crooked teeth
You'll be perfect just like me
In you I feel so dirty
In you I crash cars
In you I feel so pretty
In you I taste God
We must never be apart


14.Perfect

Lyrics:Billy Corgan
Music:Billy Corgan

I know we're just like old friends
We just can't pretend
That lovers make amends
We are reasons so unreal
We can't help but feel
That something been lost
But please you know you're just like me
Next time I promise we'll be
Perfect
Perfect
Perfect strangers down the line
Lovers out of time
Memories unwind
So far I still know who you are
But now I wonder
Who I was
Angel you you know it's not the end
We'll always be good friends
But the letters have been sent on
Please you were so free
You'll see
I promise we'll be
Perfect
Perfect strangers when we meet
Strangers on the street
Lovers while we sleep
Perfect
You know this has to be
We always we're so free
We promised that we'd be
Perfect


15.Everlasting Gaze

You know I'm not dead
You know I'm, you know I'm not dead
You know I'm not dead
Now you know
Where I've been

As you sleep
Torn I am
Weighted down
Patiently
Worn as hope

You know I'm, 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 through it all
Into us all you move
Forgotten touch
Forbidden thought
We can never have enough

You know I'm not dead
You know I'm, you know I'm not dead
You know I'm not dead
Far below
The creatures scream
Stranglehold
A god machine
Begging to
Tear us out
Born of love

You know I'm, 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 through it all
Into us all you move
Forgotten touch
Forbidden thought
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 skulls of every COG
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
You know I'm not dead
You know I'm not dead
You know I'm not dead


16.Stand Inside Your Love

Lyrics:Billy Corgan
Music:Billy Corgan

You and me
Meant to be
Immutable, impossible
It's destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable, insufferable
But for the last time
Your everything that I
Want and asked for
You're all that I'd dreamed
Who wouldn't 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 feel 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 you
You're every move
And waking sound
I wrap my wire around
Your heart and your mine
You're mine forever, now
Who wouldn't
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


17.Real Love

Lyrics:Billy Corgan
Music:Billy Corgan

Fall in to the century of supersonic cross
Blessed she in aching silence- eternal loss
Calling out 'I won't surrender'

A locket of her hair
Sympathize her pious pleasures
Go down the stairs into the dark again
To feel alive again, and wait for
Real love
Or is it me you're after
Is it time?
Because it's now or never
Real love
Real love forever
Real love
Born of the fallen chain
Into a world sustained with sorrow
Real love
A real touch we speak in
Is it lies.
Or is what we're seeking
Real love
In the eyes
Behold and you'll find the 21st century
Detonate her will and her widowed speech
Buried in the backyard shadow
The rusty shadow tin
That held her mother's first kiss in a
Nameless dream
Fall down the stairs again
To feel alive again, it's tommorow
Real love
Or is it me you're after
Is it time
Cause it's now or never
Real love
Real love forever
Is it love
Or just yours to treasure
Real love
Real love
Real love
We never listen
Real love will listen
And tell of a fortune
Real love is riches
Scratch through the changes
Real love is nameless
So tired and hopeless
Real love is painless
Nobody mentions
We ever move to collect
The solar questions
Demon scorn should not relax
The laws of gravity
Real Love


18.Untitled

Should I know all we're missing
What's to stop what they're missing
To feel love, to be in love
All around

Anyone can hold a promise
Not everyone can feel honored
To be in love, to feel love
All around

Turn me on, hear me speak
Let me be what I need
You're enough for me

Many times while you sleep
I'm dreaming of what to keep
To know your wish, hold it true
To slay the things that trouble you

Turn me on, out of reach
Listen here, feel me
Just believe, just believe
You'll see

To feel love, to be in love
All around

Hold the truth if you want it
If you don't, I won't flaunt it
To feel love, to be in love
All around

When you're young you can promise
Anything that you wanted
To be in love, to feel love all around

Turn me on, let me speak
From my heart, I receive
Plain happiness, just happiness
You and me

To feel love, to be in love
All around
To be in love, to feel love
All around
To feel love, to be in love
All around
To be in love, to feel love
Around

I know your wish, I hold it true
(feel love around)
To hide the things that trouble you
(feel love around)
Turn me on out of reach
(feel love around)
Let me speak all my peace
(feel love around)
Just believe what you keep
(feel love around)
You'll never need to hurry me
(feel love around)

To be in love, to feel love
All around
To feel love, to be in love
All around
To be in love, to feel love
All around
To feel love, to be in love
All around
To be in love, to feel love
All around


19.Lucky 13

The same blood
I suppose
Breaking jars
I'm no good
As the prodigal son
And I know
That you're mesmerized
You had a vision, made these laws
and sanitized, are we above desires
I miss him so

You are so fucked
It has begun
Revolution crawls
All over you
I was asleep
You light up this sky
And scrape out your skull
Your lovely face
Will never be claimed thrice
It was so unlikely doom
Upon my wrists I bear the cross
My losses mount as I climb across the hole
of my own soul

I'll claim my prize
I don't exist
I am divine
A ghost with eyes


20.Aeroplane Flies High

Love is a sentimental heart
Life is a sentimental way
Spy the fragile heart so cursed
As he walks across this earth

I'm disconnected by your smile
Disconnect a million miles
And what you promised me
I hope will set you free
I'm disconnected by your smile

And all I gave to you is lost
And all you took from me is lost
Black wings carry me so high
Up to meet you in the sky

I'm disconnected by your smile
Disconnect a million miles
And what you promised me
I hope will set you free
I'm disconnected by your smile

Wishing you were real to me
Wishing I could make believe
I'll take my secrets to the grave
Safely held beneath the waves
Always knew I couldn't save
Always knew I couldn't save you


21.Because You Are

Because you are
Because you are
Because you are
Because you are
Because you are

I've got the trauma to stay
Because you are
I scar the stranger betray
All of my senses ashamed
I will deny all that I'm afraid
Lies will disguise
Rules of time and endgames

Because you are
Because you are
Because you are
Because you are
Because you are

I chew the rust off my face
Because you are
I wipe the stain off my haze
Because you are
I am released, born of age
Because you are
I stare inside empty faith

I will deny all that I'm afraid
Lies will disguise
Rules of time and endgames
Because you are

Because you are
Because you are
Because you are
Because you are
Rinse the scars off my skin
Because you are
I touch the scars of your skin
Because you are
I let the travel begin
Because you are
I let the travel begin
Because you are
I let the travel begin


22.Slow Dawn

Midnight people rushing for a downtown train
Watching and wasting away
Empty hearts beat free
Cool frequency
And I don't know what it is
I'm gonna run
The slow dawn
Seeking sigh
Oh so faint
I'm gonna run
The slow dawn
Away
It's best undone
And I'm not sure what it is
But I'm sure that I can give
Away the slow dawn
Slow dawn moves by your side
Takes your silent sleep
Slow dawn
Midnight people washing down here, wasting away
They're gonna run
The slow dawn away
The slow dawn away
The slow dawn away
The slow dawn away


23.Believe

Close your eyes
Until the sunlight dies
In your head a thousand stars
Through the darkness you can see a light
And if they steal your life
Your heart is still mine
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing, a truth, there's no other
I want to believe in you, dear
On sunday
There's a life I hide
Well I tried to disguise
And I can take you a million miles away
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing, a truth is no other
I want to believe in you, dear

On sunday I made amends
Of all my mistakes
May god speed be with you

Oh oh oh o oh
And I
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing, a truth, there's no other
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing, a truth, there's no other
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing, a truth, a lover
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing, a truth, there's no other
I want to believe in you, dear
On sunday
On sunday I made amends
For all my mistakes
May god speed be with you


24.My Mistake

We're so young
And we're so dumb
We don't register calculations
And if you dare
And should I care
I could destroy you
And take you there
As the spitfires begin their descent
And tragic romantic ascent
My love is one hundred percent
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Mistake, it was all my mistake
So suck me through
Your saliva screws
And I can't help myself if I don't know
The flaws in you
That were equal to
The mysteries of almost knew
And I've said this so many, many times
Can't help you out of your mind
So please don't judge me a time
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake

And if you pretend
Please try to offend everyone

We share the same monkey disease
So give me my grape of peace
And do what you want as you please

Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake


25.Marquis In Spades

And I'd love you to notice
I'm devoted
To destroy for no one
Now it's that time again to take revenge
On all the debutantes and their friends
The bitter charlemagnes so self-absorbed
The bodily remains such a bore

Hey, yeah
Was I good enough to break you
Hey, yeah

And all I see is empty
'cause now I'm one of them
So adored
The slink of impotence
That money can afford
We know who you are and where you live
Is your innocence all that you can give

Hey, yeah
Was I good enough to break you
Hey, yeah

In the back of the car
The angel dust was given back to the stars

Hey, yeah
Was I good enough to break you
Hey, yeah

And in this fall from grace
We'll meet again
Another time another place
I've been down deep in you and me
Let's see where we can go
Yeah yeah yeah
Angels, barbed wire
Fuck you, desire


26.Here's To The Atom Bomb

Away to the side you move your head
Gravity fingers dig in your back
The strangest man won't let you breathe
Rocking on you in a movie scene
His words fill your mouth
His guests bleed sick
Devoid of touch
He lets out to the streets where you were raised
Sittin' home waiting for the coming age
You had to wait your turn
You had to wait your turn
Wake up early, wash up late
Satellites connect you to your hate
Your patience grows but your skin is thin
The pager signals they're coming in
Through the hole in the wall
You left a hole in the wall
Here's to the atom bomb
May everyone find a way to get on
In the same old re-run week after week
Their faces make you want to kill
Their little piece of heaven singing on the window sill
No lights can turn you on
Pixelate the night
Feed in the words
Of your eyes on the streets where you were born
Sittin' home waiting for the coming dawn
You're the hole in the wall
You left a hole in the wall


27.Sparrow

Narrow, marrow
Silent, sparrow
Secret, serpentine smile
Distant, crying child

You're my lost little love
You're my lost little one

Urgent, arrow
Arcane, echo
My, my, my have we thrown
Together apart and together again

We will scatter friends
Like the whistling wind
You can see me wave
Same, I'm the same

But if I did
And I meet you there
You'll hold my hand
Pretend you understand that
I'm just one man
Still a boy perhaps
Simple silent humble human-being

We will scatter friends
Like the whistling wind
You can see me wave
Same, I'm the same

And eiffel towers
And distant isles
And ocean miles
And mountain wilds
And film stars
And restless charge
Moving roaring
Soaring gone, gone, gone
And with built-in lion ears
I can hear you now


28.Waiting

Please drive slow
I've never been this way before
Violence reels in the underground
Yes, I am waiting
In silence throne
To fill the meetings
To strike me down
No more a reason
Than god above
Let your curses run
Yes, I am waiting
For your love
For your love
Radio waves of a dying sun
Radio speaks my soul alone
Forget my names, erase the page
And dinners draw the passengers
Yes, I am waiting
In silence throne
My blood of treason
My tears of home
No more a feeling
Than being cold
Of playing on
Yes, I am waiting
As I walk your street
Yes, I am waiting
As I ride your dreams
Yes, I am waiting
Inside your doubts
Inside your doubts
Just let me out
Just let me out


29.Saturnine

The clever make the world weep
To pull it from it moorings
To form the old wicked ruse
To weather the coming storm

They are inside now
They are inside
They are inside now
Saturnine
How I love to waste your time
Saturnine, saturnine

Good bye all you widows
Tear stained underneath
Blessed to the many
While seeking some relief

They are inside
They are inside now
They are inside
They are inside
You l always run
But you cannot find
Saturnine

Saturnine,
Saturnine
You were waiting all this time
Saturnine, saturnine

Camera take this picture
The wreckage is outside
Quick may you hurry
We are losing our life

We are inside now
We are inside
We are inside
You'll always run
But you'll never find
Saturnine

Saturnine
How I love to make you mine
Saturnine, saturnine

To the ages I am speaking
To the creatures I abscised
Bloody simple feature
Everyone choose a size

Shatter this faith, broken
Walk these summer miles
Leave here, we e forgotten
Carry forth this child

Saturnine?


30.Rock on

Hey kids rock and roll
Rock on
Cool my soul
Hey kids it's no use
Sleeping
Showtime summertime blues
Jump up and die in your blue suede shoes
Hey kids rock and roll
We're gonna rock on

Where do we go from here
Which is the way that's clear
Still looking for that blue jean baby queen
Prettiest girl I've ever seen
See her die on my movie screens
Every day

Rock on
Rock on
Rock on
Rock on

Hey kids rock and roll
Rock on
Cool my soul
Hey kids it's no use
Dreaming
Lost out, find out, shut out, cracked out
Hey kids rock and roll
We're gonna rock on

Where do we go from here
Which is the way that's clear
Where do we go from here
Which is the way that's clear

Still looking for that blue jean baby queen
Prettiest girl I've never seen
See her die on my movie screens
Every day

Rock on
Rock on
Rock on
Rock on

And the cradle will rock
Yes the cradle
The cradle will rock
I said rock on
Rock on
Everyone wants some
I want some too
Everyone wants some
Hey how about you?
I said rock on
Rock on

Rock on
Rock on
Rock on
Rock on
Hey kids rock and roll
Gonna rock on
Rock on
Cool my soul
Hey kids rock and roll
Gonna rock on
Rock on
Gonna rock on
Rock on
Rock on


31.Set The Ray To Jerry

Born to please, every simple need
I stand alone in my thoughts indeed
Hate you
For ever making me
I'm in you, I'm your anything

And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you

Come to me, let me hold you still
I'm so tired, just as tired as you
Take me for anyone but me
All that you feel is never true

And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you

When you say that you are
Forever my star
I'll never let you go, no, no
I'll never let you know

Let roar these fears
To the whore of my tears
Pure as a lie, I pour to your eyes
Suck you like the sap from a tree
Honey from the dew, from the bumblebees, yeah yeah

And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you

When you say that you are
Forever my star
I'll never let you go, no, no
I'll never let you know

And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you


32.Winterlong

And if I fall
Into you all
Will my rain
Cease and dissolve?
Some come to harm
Others to grace
So let my friends fly
Under these wings

We're giving it up to the sun
We're giving it up to the moon
We're giving it up to the earth
We're giving it up from our own

Knowin?there nowhere to run
Knowin?there not much to lose
Sometimes it seems so long
Since you had a chance to refuse

We built a fire
Winterlong
Transformed new wire
Winterlong
I was the first one
I was the last one to be strong

And if I fall
Into you all
Will the silence
Shatter and stall?
Some feel movement
Others stand still
So let the moment
Become my will

We're giving it up to the sun
We're giving it up to the moon
We're giving it up to the earth
We're giving it up from our owns

Knowin?there nowhere to run
Knowin?there not much to lose
So why does it take so long
To find out who is who

We built a fire
Winterlong
Transformed new wire
Winterlong
I was the first one
I was the last one to be strong

We're giving it up to the sun
We're giving it up to the moon
We're giving it up to the earth
We're giving it up from your own

We're giving it up to the sun
We're giving it up to the moon


33.Soot And Stars

The words flow, decisions made
Idea's mine, but the inspiration not
Dreams of hangers on, dreams of getting well
Spells of ezmerelda, emeralds foretold
Splinters in the eye sentiments remain
Bones that never rest where we going to
It was never up to me and yet I pushed until it broke

I love the open road and all that it suggests
Wheel wagon dust weeds and infidelities and
Always for a love never question why
In a wooden house immoveable and silent and
Drinking strawberry wine forever lost in town
And thru the sleeping streets night bound and heavy
Wheels in the spoke still spoken for himself

Now my gates are high, my friends even higher
Forgotten in my mind, yet the sky still linger and
Cloud the blue skies, I'm jealous of you birds
Was the only truth in a world full of words?
Hear the prairie sound in a friend called near
The heart is pointed down but my spirit pointed up
His voice for siren of greek mythology

I pause with my pen I begin to defend
Every action taken, every moment sealed
When I was quick it coursed through open veins
The will to live the urgency to move
Behind a panel door sealing cherry stain
I play my guitar and live those lonesome notes

Like a dog that's down
In a corner just a sigh
Waiting to be called
Waiting to be yours
Ghosts of all my shame
Without purpose or will

I often speak of you but the you is always me
Cause when I speak of me it's me I ask of you
So let there be no truth just trickery in rhymes
Time the only thing waiting still as death

I hope for resolution pray one defining moment
Pause without restrain barren without child
A child is who I was a child is who I'll die
Soot in my hair
And stars in my hands
Soot in my hair
And stars in my hands
Soot in my hair
And stars in my hands


34.Blissed And Gone

The sun has blessed
The rays are gone
And all the kids have left their tears and gone home

Sweet 17, sour 29
And I can't explain myself
What I'd hoped to find
You were all so kind
When I was near

And if you're still feeling down
Then maybe I need me around
To love and hold you
Don't say I hadn't told you so
Maybe I need me around

I had no luck
I had no shame
I had no cause just 17 days of rain
And you in my eyes

Just one more song to slay this earth
And I can't explain myself
Just what it's worth
It was all I had but not all I need
And I can't escape the fact that I still bleed

And if you're still feeling down
Then maybe I need me around
To let them scold you
And don't say I hadn't told you so
Maybe I need me around

I had no voice
I had no drive
I had no choice
I've done my time
I had my self
I had my band
I had my love
And I had no hand
In watching it all fall apart

And if you're still feeling down
Then maybe you need me around
To love and hold you
Don't say I hadn't told you so
Maybe I need me around
