Living In Your Letters
i'm always assuming the worst. but you're
going on nonetheless. and there's nothing to cushion your heart led
fall. letters from further away keep pulling me close to home.
and they're something to cushion my callous sighs. and i know that
you hope for longer good-byes. embracing for forever and falling
in your eyes. in your eyes. your eyes. pouring over photographs.
i'm living in your letters. and breathe deeply from this envelope.
it smells like you and i can't be without that scent. its filling
me with all you mean to me, to me. continually failing these trials,
but you stand by me nonetheless. and you won't let me sink though
i'm begging you, i'm begging you. phone calls from further away and
messages on my machine. but i don't ever tell you this distance seems
terrible. there's no need to test my heart with useless space.
these roads go on forever and so do you and i. there will always
be a place for you in my heart. so i'll hit the pavement. it's
gotta be better than waiting. and pushing you far away cause i'm
scared. so i'll take my chances and head on my way up there.
cause turning to you is like falling in love when you're ten.
The Sharp Hint Of New Tears
on the way home, this car hears my confessions.
i think tonight i'll take the long way. this weather. the wind
outside is biting. it has left me feeling tired and exposed.
you've been asking me to bleed. it seems these kinds of questions
come too easy to you now. your lack of shame comes naturally.
i should not be surprised. i should have seen it sooner. you
expect me to apologize for things that you've done wrong. while you're
inciting others. you're owning up to nothing and i wish that i was
gone. because you're not going anywhere. this damp air is fighting
my defroster. my sighs, they ring victorious and fog this tinted
glass. its clouded, and so is my head. the hint of these new
tears are sharp. i try to hold them back. its useless, i'm
useless against them. they're beating me with ease. on the
way home this car hears my confessions. i think tonight i'll take
the long way. expect me to apologize for things that you've done
wrong. while you're inciting others. you're owning up to nothing
and i wish that i was gone. cause you're not going anywhere.
on the way home this car hears my confession. i think tonight i'll
take the long way.
Turpentine Chaser
this paint has been tasting of lead. and
their chips will fall as they may. but its not just my finish that's
peeling. and its not alone fleeing these walls. well sooner
or later, this cold, is gonna break. so our hands will be warm again.
but all i want is not to need you now. and sooner or later, this
code, its gonna break. and our words will be heard again. but
all i want are vows of silence now. this turpentine chaser's got
kick. and the rag that its soaked in is rich. the fumes aide
the pace of my cleaning. and as soon as i'm done i am gone.
well sooner or later, this cold, is gonna break. so our hands will
be warm again. but all i want is not to need you now. and sooner
or later, this code, its gonna break. and our words will be heard
again. but all i want are vows of silence now. the frightening
facts we've been facing our backs to so long now, are begging for eyes
to bear witness to lies and indifference. now we're saying aloud
the things we've declared in our silence. the new coats of paint
will not reacquaint broken hearts to broken homes. broken homes.
broken homes.
Ender Will Save Us All
its just like you to contest you wear it like a
label on your breast. don't you see what this takes of me?
a certain callousness complies. with your charm and in your pride.
a hopeful look draped in despise. i want to give you whatever you
need. what is it you need? is it what i need? i want
to give you whatever you need. what is it you need? is it within
me? its hard to explain how i am getting by on so little from you.
its hard to believe that i would let myself get so wrapped into you.
there's gotta be something that would be worthwhile for me to give to you.
we need a connection, but you seem to push me far away from you.
from you. from you. the harder i push, the further i fall.
well you don't mind me being headstrong. but you don't want to sing
along. maybe its trite, but i can always, always, always be wrong.

getting by on so little from you. its hard to believe that i would
let myself get so wrapped into you. there's gotta be something that
would be worth while for me to give to you. we need a connection,
but you seem to push me far away from you. from you. from you.

try not to be, try not to be, try not to be, try not to be wrong.
