Lyrics
I am one as you are three
Try to find messiah in your trinity
Your city to burn
Your city to burn
Try to look for something
In your city to burn, you’ll burn
Am I as I seem?
I’m down
Down, so down
Time is right for a guiding light
Try to turn to reasons in your bitter life
Your city to burn
Your city to burn
Try to look for something
In your city to burn, you’ll burn
See you, don’t you just want to
See you, I am one
See you, don’t you just want to
See you
See you, don’t you just want to
See you, I am one

Lyrics
(Over you, like an angel)
Bury me in love
Bury me in love
Shared your kisses
Shame your heart
Buried me and it hurts
I love my sister so (chain, unchain)
She don’t smother me (chain, unchain, unchain)
I played the spades I know (unchain)
I’m a jack of all trades
Would you bury me
Want to see her born inside (hide, hide)
Some of the things you just can’t hide
If you see her tell me why (hide, hide)
Why won’t she come outside
If you see her tell me why (hide, hide)
Why won’t she come outside
Want to see her born inside (hide, hide)
Some of the things you just can’t hide
She waits, bury me
She waits, bury me - 3 . Daydream

Lyrics
My daydream seems as one inside of you
Though it seems hard to reach through this life
Your blue and hopeless life
My daydream screams bitter 'til the end
The love I share -true- selfish to the heart
My heart, my sacred heart
My daydream dream
My daydream
My daydream dream
My daydream
- 4 . Not Worth Asking
Lyrics
Not worth asking, who I’m supposed to be
Not worth saying, seems I’m free
Not worth reaching, to anyone at all
Not worth reaching out to stop this fall
I’m on my own
Yeah, I’m on my own
Not worth being, I might already be
I just want someone to reach for me
Not worth sinkin’, it’s not worth diggin’ down
I’ve been here before, and hate what I’ve found
It’s too late, too late
I’m on my own, I’m on my own
I’ve gotta go so far away
It’s too late, too late
I’m on my own, I’m on my own
I’ve gotta go so far away, so far away
Not worth asking, who I’m supposed to be
Not worth saying something, seems I’m free
Not worth reaching to anyone at all
Not worth reaching out, I’ll stop this fall
But I like you just the same
You’ve got to know some how
That I’m the one to blame
We’ve come so far along
To end this destiny
You’ve got to know somehow
That it’s too late, too late
I’m on my own, I’m on my own
I’ve gotta go so far away
Yeah, it’s too late, too late
I’m on my own, I’m on my own
I’ve gotta go so far away, so far away

Lyrics
Honeyspider
Honeyspider, yeah yeah
Didn’t anyone say they knew I looked a lot like you
‘Cause I do

Brain dripping, now I’m tripping
On a stupid acid vision
When I wish I’m with you

Lyrics
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
And she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows
Colors show
After the moon
I should go
See you in June
Your way
And she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows
Open your eyes to these mustered lines
Open your eyes to these mustered lines
The way
And she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows - 7 . Snap
Lyrics
I’ll break someone, somewhere
To show how big I am
You know I’m not sorry
I’ll take everything
I wouldn’t give you
The time of day
You were my only
What can I say?
Not alone, now
‘Cause I’m not alone
You repeat me deceiver
To show me the way
I wouldn’t give you away
Away
I wouldn’t give you
The time of day
You were my only
What can I say?
‘Cause I’m not alone - 8 . Love

Lyrics
They want you here
'Cause i'm your man
When you love
Do you love
You're only wishing
Are you listening
Fuck it up
Do you love
Siva's listening
Siva's listening
'Cause it's easy
It's so easy
To follow your leader
He won't fail you
Let you down
Let you down
When you're cruel
Hypnotized
Through these eyes
Love inside
Has lied
Seems like a dream
It'll go, it seems
To rain
Through this umbrella

Yeah, yeah, c’mon

When you’re reachin’ from the floor
Then you’re seein’ you at the door
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, c’mon
I can’t find a day
Wondering who I’ll be
When you’re feelin’ real slow
And you’re reelin’ from the show
Ain’t lookin’ for trouble, ain’t lookin’ to see
Just want a motherfucker like you and me
C’mon

Into your shell (under your spell)
I walk a double line
Take anything you want
This is where I am
Isn’t it a shame (isn’t in a shame)
Wondering who I ought to blame (wondering who to blame)

Lyrics
She always waits for someone
Someone who’ll never leave
Revealing her decision
Her arms cover me
My cup holds no one
To anyone believe
She always waits for someone
Someone, someone just like me
Jennifer
Jennifer ever
Jennifer
Jennifer always tells me
Please don’t be afraid
I just want to hold you
I only want you to stay
My cup holds no one
To anyone believe
She always waits for someone
Someone, someone just like me

My cup holds no one
To anyone believe
She always waits for someone

Lyrics
There it goes
Playing with my heart again
I don’t know when
I’m gonna come up for air
For you now, again
For you now
For you now
And the way you look at me
Makes me happy inside
Knowing all the while
I can’t hide
Come and go
Wasting my years
I was born to fear
That there’s something in the air
For you now, again
For you now
For you now
And the way you look at me
Makes me happy inside
Knowing all the while
I can’t hide
When you’ve thought to come back
Would you take me home?
When you’ve thought come back
All alone
All alone
There it goes
Playing with my heart again
I don’t know when
I’m gonna come up for air
For you now, again
For you now
For you now
And the way look at me
Makes me happy inside
Knowing all the while I can’t hide
When you’ve thought to come back
Could you take me home?
When you’ve thought to come back
All alone
All alone - 13 . She
Lyrics
She will never, ever go
Waiting for her man
Waiting for her man
She will never, ever know
Waiting for her time
Waiting for my time
Wall to wall I hear the noise
Standard in her voice
Simple in her choice
She is everything
Monday to tuesday
Wednesday's another game
Praying for sunday
I'm the one she swore she'd never love
I'm the one I know she's thinking of
She will never, ever burn
Waiting for her time
Waiting for her time
She will never, ever say
Waiting for her game
Waiting for her game
She
She, yeah
She, yeah yeah yeah
Wall to wall i hear the noise
Standard in her voice
Simple in the choice
She is everything
Monday to tuesday
Wednesday's another game
Praying for sunday
I'm the one she swore she'd never love
I'm the one I know she's thinking of
She is everything
Monday to tuesday
Wednesday's another game
Praying for sunday
She is everything
Monday to tuesday
Wednesday's another game
Praying for Sunday
- 14 . My Eternity
Lyrics
I've been here before
And I don't know where I go
Reaching for this door
And something tells me I'm alone without you
Heading for the floor
Turning back unless I'm sure
Heading for the floor
And something tells me I'm alone without you
You take
My eternity alone, alone
I've been here before
And I don't know where I go
Reaching for this door
And something tells me I'm alone without you
Heading back, down before
I don't know where I go
Reaching for this door
And something tells me I'm alone without you
To believe
And I beg
To see
And I beg
(?)
My eternity alone, alone
My eternity, alone
And I fail, …
My eternity alone, alone
And I fail, ...
My eternity alone, alone
My eternity, alone, alone
- 15 . Bleed
Lyrics
It's all I wanted
It's all I could see
You can watch me bleed
Settle your belief inside of me
Take what you have inside
This is not your love I wish to break
And there's something to guide you
Daylight comes and washes over me, me
Feeling in your arms
Was more than I could see
It's all I wanted
It's all I could see
You can watch me bleed
Settle your belief inside of me, me
Feeling in your arms
Was more than I could see, dear
Feeling in your arms
Was more than I could see
One and two is three

Lyrics
Your words will one day spite your face
And another mouth will come and take its place
It'll speak and speak and speak and sputter me dry
I will never understand the motive drive
Marked
You
Are
Marked
In a dream I wander on
To the bell tower, writing songs
So I crumple this page, and rip it up
Never piece my broken heart to you
Marked
You
Are
Marked
Your words will one day spite your face
And another mouth will come and take its place
It'll speak and speak and speak and sputter me dry
I will never understand the motive drive
Marked
Your words will spite your face
Your words will spite your face
Spiteface

Lyrics
Hiding behind my hair today
My eyes dance with fire
The thought of living here
And the bounds I transpire
Walking in this slow-motion town
I seem to think so fast
Standing with your mannequin
I try to hold my breath
The grave that bears my name
Transpires in a dream
I dream immortality
Yet I fall in vain
Cause as long as I don't breathe
I'll never be like them
Standing with your mannequin
I try to hold my breath
If you go and I would stay
And you would call my name
I would cry, yes, I would cry
Walking in or walking out
Is the same as talking about my heart
My heart
Hiding behind my hair today
Wishing I was far away
Walking in this slow-motion town
I seem to think so fast
Standing with your mannequin
I try to hold my breath
If you go and I would stay
And you would call my name
I would cry, yes, I would cry
Walking in or walking out
Is the same as talking about my heart
My heart
If you go and I would stay
And you would call my name
I would cry, yes, I would cry
If you go and I would stay
You would call my name
I would die, yes, I would die
Walking in or walking out
Is the same as talking about my heart
My heart
- 18 . Cinnamon Girl
Lyrics
I wanna live with a cinnamon girl
I can be happy the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl
A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night
You see us together, chasin’ the moonlight
My cinnamon girl
Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes and waits between shows
For the cinnamon girl
A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night
You see us together, chasin’ the moonlight
My cinnamon girl
Pa sent me money, now I’m gonna make it somehow
I need another chance
You see your baby loves to dance - 19 . Time Has Come Today

Lyrics
Time has come today
Young hearts must go their way
Can’t put it off another way
We don’t care what the others say
They say we don’t care anyway
Time has come today
The rules have all changed today
And I have my way
I’m thinking about the subway
(?)
I’ve been tossed and put aside
I’ve been rolled by tumbling tide
You should have seen (?)
We don’t want (?)
Time has come today
Hey, go on home (?)
Time has come today, hey
The rules have all changed today
We don’t care what the others say
I’ve been tossed and put aside
I’ve been rolled by tumbling tide
You don’t want it our way
We don’t want it your way
(?)
What we got may (?)
Time has come today
Hey, go one home (?)
Time has come today, hey
Time has come today, hey
Time has come today, hey - 20 . My Dahlia
Lyrics
To taste my fear
Summon up your demons, dear
I left you open
Wondering
When you lie to break my heart
My dahlia
My dahlia, dear
My dahlia
My dahlia, dear
I breathe in shade
Fluent in the choices made
My words, my summons
Say I dare
When you lie to break my heart
When you lie, I’ll break, I’ll break, to break
My dahlia
My dahlia, dear
My dahlia
My dahlia, dear
Anyone can see
You’re laughing down at me
It’s easy for you now
No room for kings
Queens are what we gather here
I left you open
Wondering
When you lie to break my heart
When you lie, I’ll break, I’ll break, to break
My dahlia
My dahlia, dear
My dahlia
My dahlia, dear
Anyone can see
You’re laughing down at me
It’s easy for you now
