Scarlet Monkeys
05:11
|
|||
scarlet monkeys
and a scarlet letter,
but no one wants to hear.
but no one wants to hear.
winter again.
the doors are open,
the rain falling.
and all the music brings me down.
alone again.
my room is frozen,
the world falling,
and they don't miss me,
i am bound
to watch and wait,
the scarlet letter
let me leave
with nothing.
where'd they all go?
no one wants me.
gone and i
am nothing.
the scarlet letter
and scarlet monkeys,
all who want me;
flies and junkies.
flies and junkies.
flies and junkies.

Fantastic Frown
04:21
|
|||
it's all crazy,
it's all crazy.
stand in the middle,
wane with them all.
and don't bring me down,
Fantastic Frown,
hold me in a smile;
expressions of a clown,
directions from an empty space
on the ground.
don't try bring me down,
Fantastic Frown,
find me distorted,
find me forsaken.
fade from the callen,
climb from the fallen,
you won't bring me down,
Fantastic Frown.

Pray For A Sunny Day
06:15
|
|||
let it in and let it out,
it is not the end.
don't forget the breeze today,
don't forget the letter you promised to send.
gone too deep
cannot cry it all away.
maybe it will be better in the morning,
pray for a sunny day.
what have i done?
innocence gone.
and you forgot the letter.
and you forgot the letter.
what have i done?
innocence gone.
this sleepless night tells me tomorrow
it all won't be alright.
gone too deep,
can't even cry it all away.
maybe it will be better in the morning,
pray for a sunny day.

Skeletons
03:53
|
|||
candles and cigarettes and darkness
paint sunsets,
and the living shadows
flicker through your bones.
all that i knew then
was good wine and smoking.
while all your skeletons
slept inside your bones.
Red Thread and Morphine,
if i couldn't find you again,
should i trust me now
or you?
incense and silhouettes and starlight
paint sunsets
while your living shadows
creep into my bones.
Red Thread and Morphine,
if you couldn't find me again,
would you want her now
or me?
all that i knew then
was summer and you friend,
but now all your skeletons
creep into my bones.
Red Thread and Morphine,
if i ever find you again,
the skeletons are waiting
for me.

no worries
and my bones are feeling fine,
you tell me
to find forgiven lines of time
in the patterns on your face,
for they're mine.
what did i do wrong?
for while you sing a pretty song
it's just so
insensitive to mine.
climb this hill,
something is not right with me.
but i'm hopeful
that while you're breathing deep
your sensitivity's just asleep,
not gone.
what have i done wrong?
you say you love me,
but that tone
is so unknown.
no worries,
are you really feeling fine?
breathe deeply,
because your rhythm is a rhyme
and the patterns on your face,
a sign.

All My Lines
02:49
|
|||
all my lines
are nothing,
why do i try again?
your proportions are perfect,
and when i'm drunk the mirror says
i look ok
all my lines
are nothing,
why do i try again?
your proportions are perfect,
and when i'm drunk i hear your
blood lips say,
"all your lines
are everything.
sing for me again.
sing for me again."
sing for me again.

Heal
04:30
|
|||
without me
you say you get down so easily.
but i don't want to be your opium,
a dream in your delarium.
why can't you just love me?
it's too much now
and i'm exhausted,
but i can't dissolve this love i feel,
so find in me your opium
and heal.
i love you
so i'll live this tiring haze for you.
and maybe when you wake you'll look at me,
a dream in your reality,
and simply love me.
it's too much now and i'm exhausted,
but i can't dissolve this love i feel.
so find in me your opium
and heal.

Whisper A Word
03:25
|
|||
whisper a word nobody else has heard,
breathe me a breath,
oh breathe me a breath of love
that watched as i fell for you,
to catch me as i catch you.
i'll whisper a word nobody's ever heard
and breathe you a breath,
oh breathe you a breath of love
to catch you as you catch me too,
to hold me and never let go.
never let go.
never let go.

My Own Mind
03:26
|
|||
i don't need your lessons to tell me
i'm broken and lost at the enemy's line.
just leave it completely alone now;
i make up my own mind.
i will never be leather-bound.
and i'll always make
my own sound.
so watch me forget your conclusions.
my question is love and the answer is mine.
just love me or leave me alone now.
i make up my own mind.
i will never be leather-bound.
and i'll always make
my own sound.
i make up my own mind.
i make up my own mind.

those blackest winter nights,
the cold fed all our feeling,
hazes of our smoking
made companions for the gin.
those blackest winter nights,
your lovely eyes despairing,
you'd given up on hoping
and the shadows you lived in.
and creeping through the dark,
looking for my heart,
you were crippled by the cold,
but you warmed my bones, darling.
but you warmed my bones, darling.
those blackest winter nights,
the essence of you fading,
but that deathly winter
was the dawning of our spring.
for creeping through the dark,
holding out your heart,
you were eaten by the cold,
but you warmed my bones, darling.
but you warmed my bones, darling.

Alone And Raw
05:16
|
|||
sweetheart, hold me
like when we were
lovers and careless,
alone and raw.
i walked always
with you on my mind,
warm in the breath of
my sweet valentine.
all i hoped for
here by my side.
lying in sunshine,
fallen in love.
choose me gently,
undo the skin;
this is my favourite way
to spend the day.
sweetheart, hold me
like when we were
lovers and careless,
alone and raw.
