Gone Again
03:50
|
|||
|
This morning I woke up, I felt the sun
Hurt my eyes and for a moment
Made me feel like I belong
Somewhere or with someone
Someone who could carry me from the floor onto the bed
Take the pain away and silence
What's inside my head
Inside my head
Thought I'd found you
But I waited
And now you're gone again
Thought you'd wait for me
But now I'm
On my own again

From a Distance
03:38
|
|||
|
I'm alone, falling to pieces
Searching doors in open spaces
Nearly floating, never there
Living life as from a distance
Way too tired to pretend
That I still live outside my head
Am I losing it completely?
Is the world just moving fast?
Is there anyone who sees me?
Is there anyone who cares?

A Memory
04:07
|
|||
|
Where leaves once hung from silken threads
The light broke through the branch at last
It seamed to groan as fingers, whithered, cracked
From barren nights gave way at last
To icy gusts and seeping rain and
My grip as I set my foot upon its neck
It crackled and I fell
An autumn day
So far away
Seems forever
An eternity
So careless yet
So much easier

Whatever Lies Beyond
03:03
|

|
She knows whatever lies beyond this life
But she's terrified to tell
And when she goes to sleep at night she dreams
Of being free, of being someone else
She never felt the need to fight the fear
Or its embrace
She knows exactly what she's doing here
She waits
For the day
The day when she returns to dust and ashes in the wind
It's time to go
And leave behind her family, her body and her memories
She knows
That someday everyone who ever knew her name will disappear
Till nothing's left of her
Anymore

Six Days Floating
02:54
|
|||
|
She spent six days floating two feet above the matress in the corner of her bedroom
On the seventh day desire dragged her body from the bed onto the floor
Disconnected from her knees; shrouded in a drug-fueled haze she crawled, slowly but steadily heading towards the door
She felt that she knew everything; that she was everywhere all at once
That she'd never been anything or anywhere else
And for the first time in her life
She felt at peace.

When the Sky
01:54
|
|||
|
When the sky tore its jaws wide open did you see it coming or were you asleep?
Were you waiting for it to happen or were you running for your life?
When the sky tore its jaws wide open how did it feel to look outside
and wonder if this were the last time you'd look out over the apartment buildings down the street?
When the sky vomited its angels of death over the city
and they started pouring through the roofs of the houses didn't something snap inside of you?
When the sky tore its jaws wide open and when the children's breath ran out
and their voices collapsed with a shiver into the back of their throats
When the sky split its jaws wide open did you disengage and let it happen or did you fight back?

November
03:31
|
|||
|
I'll lose my leaves
They always crumble
In November
Then decay
They will return
With the summer
At least I hope
I guess they may
And all I know
Is I'll fuck you over
When you're on the ground
Anything goes
So hold me close
And whisper sweetly
"It's not your fault"
But you don't know
