Heaven Knows

Through the horror
That you've attached to me
What's hidden there beneath
The deception of your smiling face
I see
Things you could never see
Hear whispers on the breeze
No redemption here, so graceless
I went looking
For ways to kill the time
Something that's locked inside
But you broke into my mind
And heaven knows
What you've done
Still you think
That you've won
The angels know
You by name
And they hang their heads in shame
Cuz heaven knows
Hail, Narcissus in a pond
Reflection is turning green
Take your bitter, blackened heart
Far away from me
You & all the snakes you charm
Hissing at my door -
Find another witch to burn
Cuz I've been here before
And heaven knows
What you've done
Still you think
That you've won
The angels know
You by name
And they hang their heads in shame
Cuz heaven knows
The angels know
You by name
And they hang
Their heads in shame
Heaven knows
Heaven knows
Heaven knows
Heaven knows

Too Late

Bury your head beside the truth
It's the only way to kill the pain
How lost you are, how deeply scarred
Standing silent in the rain
And it's cold, it's cold
It's cold as hell
Wrap your arms around yourself
Take a bow
Walk away
No words can save your hollow soul
No emotions left to borrow
No one can fill that gaping hole
No sun will come tomorrow
No deals to make at heaven's gate
No turning back
It's too late
Alone at the end and all along
Your days were wasted on obsession & pain
Don't you wish you knew?
It was lost to you
And there's no one left to take the blame
Adrift between the earth & sky
The sun is setting on your life
Take a bow
Walk away
No words can save your hollow soul
No emotions left to borrow
No one can fill that gaping hole
No sun will come tomorrow
Oh god, I'm falling
Oh god, I'm falling
It's too late

I’m a walking mausoleum
I’ve organized my grief by numbers
Would you like to come inside?
Cuz everybody loves to hear
A killer misanthropic story
It makes you feel more alive
And now I’m getting older
Colder
It only takes one crack in the sky
To bring down all the lights
So put your head upon my shoulder
And slide with me through my own slice of hell
I’ve got so many secrets left to tell
Time comes on like an avalanche
The ones we lose, you can’t get back
Most days go by without a snag
‘Til you’re standing in the hallway of your past
With the ones you can’t get back
There’s a garden on the corner
Where I found your dress & cigarettes
The ones that you left for me
And a feeling runs me over
It hits me like the car that almost did
The day you had to leave
Because time comes on like an avalanche
The ones we lose, you can’t get back
Most days go by without a snag
‘Til you’re standing in the hallway of your past
With the ones you can’t get back
Now I hear the bells

Scream
04:03

My desire to remain
Is all that I have left
As I let go
And I don’t wanna play this game
But I don’t have a choice
I’ve been ripped from my home
My flesh & bone
So I’ll scream your name
With the only breath I have
So I’ll scream your name
With the only breath I have left
My reflection in the glass
But I don’t recognize
What I see (what’s left of me?)
Please don’t leave me with my past
My frailties exposed
In my last dance
There’s one more chance
So I’ll scream your name
With the only breath I have
So I’ll scream your name
With the only breath I have left
Will my friends be there to greet me around the bend?
Will they know my face, lend their grace as I ascend?
And Dylan said
At the end
Wise men know
The dark is right
See the birds in flight
But they burn & rage
Burn at the end of the day
In rage
“Rage, rage against the dying of the light
Do not go gentle into that good night”
So I’ll scream your name

Ashes

How many masks can one face hold?
How many different lives?
It's gotten out of my control
100 pairs of closing eyes
Alice falling down her well
I'm grasping at the straws
One will lead me to myself
And one will be the cause
Of all of my glittering delusions
All my whispers, all my depths
And the source of my confusion
Is in the secrets that I've kept
So I am waiting for the sun
To break me
I am waiting for the sun
To take me
I miss the way the colors spill
Into the world at dawn
And hug the canvas that they fill
Received by all with open arms
With every year that passes by
My memories turn grey
Blackened ash in morning light -
That's the only way
I'll ever escape this long-kiss violence
Wasted days in silence
Endless
Lifeless
Fiending
Feeding
Trapped inside myself
So I am waiting for the sun
To break me
I am waiting for the sun
To take me
Now he's rising
For the last time
And just for one moment...
I feel alive
With sun & skin that bleeds for a dying world
Bleeding for the girl I used to know
Reaching for the hand I used to hold
It's time to go
(With sun & skin that bleeds for a dying world
Bleeding for the girl I used to know
Just let her go
Just let her go)

Devour

I dream of quiet nights in the trees
A height they cannot reach
And all the sideshow gawkers on the edge of town
Could never talk me down
They’re burning shadows in the summer heat
I see it in my dreams
I hear the sound of crickets & the steady drum
But I will never run
No I will never run
Chains & charms devour me
It’s my nature to be one
Chains & charms devour me
It’s my nature to be one
It’s my nature
Here in the new dawn of a different world
I’m just another girl
But the subtle culling as the flame grows on
The roses, they begin to unfurl
We are the tears that hang from your eyes
The shame you try to hide
What is it Mother that makes our brothers
Wanna see us on our knees in the night?
Chains & charms devour me
It’s my nature to be one
Chains & charms devour me
It’s my nature to be one
I know I’m the culprit
But I can’t help it
It’s in my flesh & blood
Chains & charms devour me
It’s my nature to be one
It’s my nature

Warning (Had It Good)
04:31
|

You never feel
Time slip through your hands
I guess it’s true that your youth is wasted
When you’re too young to understand
Fast as you can
Gotta get away from the light
But you can’t escape the sun
No matter how fast you run
It’s gonna rise
So damn blue down to our bones
There’s no way for us to know
We had it good
We had it so good, We had it so good
Burning in the night
So bright
We had it good
Just when you think
You can’t take any more
The waves come crashing down
You hear that familiar sound
From on the floor
So much pain carried in our souls
It’s no wonder we didn’t know
We had it good, uh-huh
We had it so good, We had it so good
Burning in the night
So bright
We had it so good, We had it so good
Burning in the night
So bright
Head the warning
Of every morning
The world is turning
Are you learning?
You have it good
You have it good

Missed Call
04:16

Dial 3 for the message
I planned far ahead
The operator’s silence
Does it fill you with dread?
You always said I think too much
Well I guess you were right
But this ain’t a conversation, love
It’s just one more goodbye
Well hello, old friend
It’s me again
The deck is going under
I just have to say when
Remember when we drank too much
In your living room?
Collapsed beneath the weight of lust
And all your doom
But I don’t blame you for anything
Some people they just drift away
Never knowing that they’re lost
But love’s not a game you can referee
Well, it comes and goes
And everybody knows
That one day you’ll pay the cost
My breathing is getting slower now
There’s not much left to say
I always had too many feelings
They always got in my way
It’s hard to fill an empty glass
It’s even harder to break
And if this pain, it wasn’t meant to last
Then maybe god made a mistake
But I don’t blame you for anything
Some people they just drift away
Never knowing that they’re lost
But love’s not a game you can referee
Well, it comes and goes
And everybody knows
That one day you’ll pay the cost
And you’ll pay
Oh, you’ll pay
Now I’m the memory
That haunts you in your sleep
You shouldn’t make promises
That you can’t keep
