pulled our love from out your pocket taped it to a rocket then you lit the fuse blast off! i only think to grab on pulling limb from socket but can't think why i want it anymore oh, now i'm floating and i can still hear you gloating from 62 miles away how you got your way and weren't you proud of yourself now i can feel it building pressure in my feeling organ shame you couldn't be here to watch my heart explode i'm in dire straights here cos i won't let it go i need to let it go now i'm falling back onto the growing earth and i'm just glowing smile from ear to ear i stretch my arms out like a falling angel free from fairytales free from all i fear oh, now i'm floating salted and soaking with not a cloud in the sky i wondered if i had died and that would be fine i'm riding this current freely where ever it wants to take me i don't care i'm free i freed me of you i just let you go i'm done chasing rockets i thought i'd let you know i just let you go

Perfect 03:25
i see your face with every urgent breath any place, any time i lose my soul with every glance i get i know your scent like i know mine i rape your thoughts, take your dignity i undress you with my eyes i think of ways for you to pleasure me where no one would here your cries i crushed the voice of sanity and hid you deep inside of me i'd choke and angel for her wings to keep you hidden here with me i'd shake the world for you to see there's no one else for you but me if, not together, we would be i'd take the life from you and me and i'll impose my will till you will see we are one in time you will feel how i feel perfect love

In Passing 03:44
i've been standin' outside your door for quite some time can't get the strength to go inside i never thought i'd see you like that so, here i am standing out here with my hands hiding my eyes well, maybe i'm a fool or just naive or maybe my love for you has crippled me or maybe i'm just scared of the unknown what life is with you gone please stay with me cos if you go now it wouldn't be fair if you go now there'd be nothing more to share please don't go what does it mean, this time that we spend? why do we keep breaking hearts we have mended? why must we make what we cannot maintain? our human relations are hardly humane

They will say that all the world is grey So let the day unfold the same Well, I embrace the thoughts I make And you cannot take them away from me And so, I carry on Through the depths of the unknown That has taken me from home And my favorite TV show And the sounds Of the people that I know Here, forever my heart goes Will she say that everything has changed And I should keep the day at bay Well, I can take away the pain If I can find that vain again And I can't believe I've gone To the depths of the unknown Will I ever make it home? To my favorite TV show And the cast Of the people that I've stoned Here, forever my heart goes For all the things I've known For the fear of growing old I could never be alone If I never make it home To your smile And my favorite TV show There's something you should know There, forever my heart goes

Damage 05:55
look at the damage we've done parading around in our lust neglecting the needs of our young so the rich can get richer look at the wholes that we've dug as deep and as dark as our glut we barter with daughters and sons cos oil is thicker than blood when will we repent for the sins of our fathers? or is the burden left at the feet of our daughters? when will we be free... of this greasy machine we habitually feed as it constantly runs over us? look at the wars that we wage most of them fueled by our faith we wager our children today on notions from an ignorant age ...armed with armageddon, we race to our destruction...

I found myself sobbing on the floor Reflecting on who I was before A broken heap, naked and ashamed Of years gone past and choices I had made And I was so alone the darkness was afraid And left me there to wallow in my pain My soul tried to scream As my throat tried to heave And all I could do was squeeze myself Until the pain drew blood on me And just when I thought I'd sink through the floor There was your voice saying "No, there's more..." More to this, more to life More to us More Then I felt the sun beat down on me Thawing out the hop that died beneath And I used your words to get me on my feet And face the day that faced away from me Now I call you my friend The best of them all You made me big The smallest of small Because of you I'm 20 feet tall And if I believed in a god I'd sell it my soul Give it my song Yes, give it me whole Just to give me a chance To make you my own again I'd give it all for you

By The Way 04:01
I wondered how it'd be If everything that you just said Had somehow came to be And the life I've known Had never been I pondered for a while Tried to make sense of it all The love that you impaired With careless words you shared Well, I hope you conscience is clear By the way I almost gave you up By the way You shouldn't be with me today You shouldn't be mine, by the way But since we're together today Be grateful my mind was changed Your burden, now is mine It's nothing you can erase Out ties, now they unwind It's nothing I can replace I hope you found relief Cos now there's none for me A life, now is impaired With careless words you shared Well, I hope your conscience is clear Everyday is another day I know

The Wait 03:39
isn't that the quarter that you stole to pay back the dollar that you owe Wasn't that your smile in the firing line one step further, fall behind and you wait now the one consoled has just let you know that all your lies are gone and now there's something wrong fall from flight say goodnight and you almost lost your mind no will to fight can't stand your sight you know that mirrors never lie isn't that your money that you smoked and one more story that you told and you wait now you're feeling high, but you left behind all the ones you love but still you laugh it up fall from flight say goodnight and you almost lost your life no will to fight can't stand your sight you know that mirrors never lie we only wait in vain

i'm not beautiful it's not wrong to say i'm not colorful at least not today i'm not feeling well i'm so cold today oh, what i wouldn't do to not feel this way i'm holding on to none of it and only feeling pain i'm holding on to all of it drifting far away it's ok now and though i'm cold and numb it's been so long lonely staring walls rape my head i wish it all away now i wish it all had meaning and force myself to want it still contemplating feeling feelings i raise my hands above my head i can't look back i'm running running scared can't get far enough so, i'll keep running

Beauty 04:34
how you hold my hand how you hold me up time after time how you make me laugh even when i'm sad how I hurt when you cry you help me achieve better versions of me you're my friend and my lover you pleasure my mind you're beauty defined how you fill me up how you value me time after time how you picked me how you grounded me how i float when you smile don't despair when they do those things that they do that make us fell blue don't believe what they say oh, those things that they say cos they can't speak for us you make me believe that we can achieve anything we can dream to dream you're my lover my beautiful lover you're my best friend you pleasure my mind you're beauty defined you're a beauty oh, you're so beautiful
