Tonight

everything we do tonight
will never be the same again
everything we say tonight
will never be the same again
everything we do tonight
will never be the same again
everything we say tonight
will never be the same again
and i know i won't regret you
and i know i mustn't be scared
everything we hear tonight will never be the same again
every smile i give to you
will never be the same again
each step that i took stole you away
now that you're here please stay
and if we touch it will never be the same again
every word rings differently,
you made them each anew
this place where we stand tonight
will never be the same again
i watch my feet, how my heart beats,
i wait for something new
so say to me we're meant to be,
we'll never be the same again
and i know i won't regret you
and i know i mustn't be scared
because everything you've shown me
quiets my every fear
there comes a day
there comes a day
there comes a day
there comes a day
we'll fade away

Best I Can Do
02:04

|

if only i could
i'd tell you one thousand times i love you dear
but this is an act
i've said it so many times it's lost its meaning
so i'll write this song
in hopes that we'll be together after all
it's the best i can do
so don't you cry, be patient now
i'm still standin' by your side
but you should learn that you can be on your own
don't hold too tight
you can't pin down the things you want
but i'm still here with you
here with you
here with you right now
if only i could
i'd tell you one thousand times i love you dear
but this is an act
i've said it so many times it's lost its meaning
so i'll write this song
in hopes that we'll be together after all
it's the best i can do

Seed
04:28

|

all my excuses left love open to abuses
lost in my own mind
but you pulled me under
forced me to discover what's true
you came to me so naturally
from a common seed
i'm startin' over
from you i receive true honesty
and we learn what we need
from startin' over
caged by my tension
from shooting down all convention
to you i give the lead
i find inside what is mine is also you
i put my sights on the bright side
and only ended up blind
yet when life leaves me low
in you i'll have a home
you are my home
you came to me so naturally
from a common seed
i'm startin' over
from you i receive true honesty
and we learn what we need
from startin' over
i'm startin' over

Bad Talker
03:08
|
|
||
the ocean looks so bright
when it's the only thing in sight
we aim to bury what has long been dead
tuck it deep in the water's bed
the air bites down hard
the sand it sticks like tar
he's a bad talker but it's no bother
drew him a grave, lines cut there by the waves
silence is soothing, absence don't move me
desire drowns so slow
wash it off, let it go
trace turns, count the burns
wash it off, let it go
memory stings sickly sweet
words off the tongue slide deep
sing me revenge, stoic and then
sleep
he's a bad talker but it's no bother
drew him a grave, lines cut there by the waves
silence is soothing, absence don't move me
desire drowns so slow
he's a bad talker but it's no bother
silence is soothing, absence don't move me
he's a bad talker, silence is soothing
he's a bad talker, cut by the waves
he's a bad talker but it's no bother
silence is soothing, desire drowns so slow

Dust
04:49
|
|
||
i can't mourn dust and ashes
the things from which i came
i need them in everything
they all move towards the same aim
they say look back with regret and wonder
but i don't know why
'cause every step on which i've stumbled
by this point has crumbled away
and i come closer to my return
to stable ground
i am left to trust my doubts
the thoughts from which i've strayed
their weight is gone
my path is already laid
they say look back with regret and wonder
but i said goodbye

Hari

|
|

hear the wail, humming, weeping,
oh i am on fire, i'm on fire
to the earth, to the root
enough, enough, enough
there is no more hiding
to a time a time ago
i return to what i've known
to turn grief into work
to write our name
to war again for home
with sweat and fear
in my blood
for peace with you

Three
03:13
|
|
||
i watch your eyes
i feel your hand
tracing over my old man
bite you lip
hold your tongue
in the dark is where this stays fun
i'll play my part and step aside
and let him think to me you lied
us three we put on quite a show
he looks at you through a disguise,
he speaks to you with practiced lines
i purred to him not long ago
(dip and smile with poise and grace)
go ahead and dance with him
get tangled up in every limb
he'll keep you warm in his embrace
but come the morn' it's you you'll face

Remain
04:39
|
|

i've listened to you for a time unending
now the sound of your words
i hear them bending
i lie and watch the lights cross the ceiling
focus upon the words you're concealing
and all i think about is how dark it is here
i thought i was wise,
made my choice and stayed with it
but decisions made
don't seem to want to fit
now the smell on your clothes
is all i can call mine
and i lie in your bed
alone at your side
how long will i be left here waiting
believing in a sliver of the real you
how long will i be left here waiting
believing in a sliver of the real you
the steadiness i hear in your breathing
adds to my confidence in my feelings
why can't i go
i feel my blood run slower each day and
a time will come you'll give what i've prayed for
how can i sit and watch as it all falls down
the face you wear alludes to an array
of thoughts you've tried so hard not to display
my eyes are closed
how long will i be left here waiting
believing in a sliver of the real you
how long will i be left here waiting
believing in a sliver of the real you
how long will i

Please
02:21
|
|

you saw me standing alone
took it as a chance to slide over my bones
your cheap talk, my weak eyes
you think you're on top
your hands upon my thighs
all you've got is nothing on me and
all you know is we all get lonely
so if you think you've got new things to show me
well, it's a bit too late
the more words i say the more of yours you swallow
your mouth keeps moving it's my skin it follows
your heat rises, drunk on your power
but by morning you're gone, down the drain of my shower
all you've got is nothing on me and
all you know is we all get lonely
so if you think you've got new things to show me
well, it's a bit too late

Prayer
06:39
|
|

say a little prayer for me darlin' darlin'
save a little prayer for me darlin' darlin'
say a little prayer for me darlin' darlin'
save a little prayer for me darlin' darlin'
the world conceals its chaos
in me i see the cracks
ashamed of his slow hands
no anger towards my acts
hold my breath a spark ignites
it slithers cross my insides
not cool stone or meak as clay
i bend and hear it cry
say a little prayer for me darlin' darlin'
save a little prayer for me darlin' darlin'
say a little prayer for me darlin' darlin'
save a little prayer for me darlin' darlin'
come lay your bones with mine
heat dances on your face
take your hair in my hands
cool water breaks like lace
push down my knees in defiance
feel my will pulse away
i offer all i am
free me from this gift you've given
