How Are You

had a dream i could turn back time
had to stop to rewind my memory
had a vision of the ruby sky we were riding high
on our own pink elephant
another day in this fucked up life
another struggle just to get through nine to five
maybe it was only ego talking
but i always thought we were innocent

how are you

had the answer on my fingertips
til i lost it in the wind like a friend ill never find
deep in the belly is a love so thick
and i thought i had it but makes me sick now
im imagining the fields so green
but i would settle for the truth in anything
where im floating i cant feel my skin
but i might get home
i might get back again

how are you

Too Close to the Sun

high above your atmosphere
do they all still cheer for who they think we are
and once more past the sun again
feelings sinking in i think weve gone too far

and why did you fly did you burn
cant you learn from my mistakes
i have made them so i know

bored just one more cup of tea
all the stars and me theyll teach me how to shine
cause life its so much colder here
ill absorb your fears and bury them inside

and why did you fly did you burn
cant you learn from my mistakes
i have made them so i know

youre too close to the sun

things we found so lovely
turn so ugly
ive grown nakeder day by day
its quite disarming i find it alarming
when everybodys listening

why did you fly did you burn
cant you learn from what weve learned
i cant see you anymore

youre too close to the sun

Black Black Heart

something ugly this way comes
through my fingers sliding inside
all these blessings all these burns
im godless underneath your cover
search for pleasure search for pain
in this world now i am undying
i unfurl my flag my nation helpless

black black heart why would you offer more
why would you make it easier on me to satisfy
im on fire im rotting to the core
im eating all your kings and queens
all your sex and your diamonds

as i begin to lose my grip
on these realities your sending
taste your mind and taste your sex
im naked underneath your cover
covers lie and we will bend and borrow
with the coming sign
the tide will take the sea will rise and time will rape

black black heart why would you offer more
why would you make it easier on me to satisfy
im on fire im rotting to the core
im eating all your kings and queens
all your sex and your diamonds
all your sex and your diamonds

Alone In The Universe

jamies on the bathroom floor she dont know why
shes shaking underneath the sink cant feel a thing
shed love to live a life shes too afraid of failure
with all the voices in her head
now what was that i thought i heard you scream

i know you can feel it
youre already there
asleep underwater
just screaming for air
i know you can feel it
youre already…
dont you know were freaks and creatures
wake up i can almost see the light

i think were alone here you and i
i think were alone left wondering why
i think were alone here you and i
i think were alone in the universe tonight

alex on the last train home from god knows where
a million miles away from where he thought hed be
hes got his suit his tie his drink his mtv
hes trading all his life away
you cant escape were all infected now

i know you can feel it
youre already there
asleep underwater
just screaming for air
i know you can feel it
youre already
dont you know were freaks and creatures
wake up i can almost see the light

i think were alone here you and i
i think were alone left wondering why
i think were alone here you and i
i think were alone in the universe tonight

Butterfly

you came apart on me last sunday morning
choked and indicted by the truth
and its always tough when theres never enough
of the good things coming
and there was never enough for you
there was never enough for you

butterfly
where you gone
i cant see you anymore
my eyes are taken still too high
came down naked on you
butterfly
where you gone
i cant feel you any more
i cant feel you any more

got excited when i thought that we would last
twisted inside out til we were drowning
from the first attack we could never go back so we just keep on coming
but i was never enough for you
was there ever enough for you

butterfly
where you gone
i cant see you anymore
my eyes are taken still too high
came down naked on you
butterfly
where you gone
i cant feel you anymore
i cant feel you anymore

and if you think youre dying
well you know i felt the same
cause we were only hoping
whys it always feel like feel like
it feels like rain

Joy In Small Places

well i woke up last night in a technology haze
my eyes were all sparked
from this common malaise
so i found me a doctor who said hed even me out
take my highs and my lows
cause the colours were just too loud
and as the day becomes night
and we only want greys
and the innocence runs out
well this is the price to pay

mr jangle what you gonna do when the sun breaks down and the rain pours through
tell me baby what you gonna do this time

you got caught on my teeth so i spit out my tongue
and i cut off these hands just to see if the feeling would come
and we drank til we drowned til we choked on the world
and we bathed in the beauty of all of you

mr jangle what you gonna do when the sun breaks down and the rain pours through
tell me baby what you gonna do this time

well i woke up last night just outside of myself
skin hair bone broke down cell by single cell
and i could not believe i had died in my sleep
just drowned in the beauty of all of you

A Day In The Life

did you feel small today when everyone had gone
cause i was beaten up and jaded by the news
and underneath the skin the truth is breaking through
so they just sewed me up and spit me out
and i cant change it
i cant change this

you you take away the world
and i dont even know myself now
so how can i know you
and i dont want to die
and i dont want to leave this place yet
just give me one more try

my thoughts are floating as reality explodes
im whispering to each of you my friends
and every moment seems to freeze frame through the room
and all the colors are electrified
but i cant see now
i cant see now

you you take away the world
and i dont even know myself now
so how can i know you
and i dont want to die
and i dont want to leave this place yet
just give me one more try

and im drifting through myself again
tell me how i got so high
where the conscience bends the air is thin
and i cant change it
i cant change this

My Way Out

standing at the edge
the edge of it all
spitting off the top
watch the day unfurl
cannot see the view from this place
clouds are on the rise world is out of faith
took another pill to find my way
hope that youll be there

cause this is my way out of it tonight
and this is my last chance to ease the fire
and this is my way out of it tonight
how about you

borrowed from a dream
that i used to know
all my friends were there
we watched the world explode
took another drink to find my way
just hope that youll be there

cause this is my way out of it tonight
and this is my last chance to ease the fire
this is my way out of it tonight
i might find one way to get through
how about you

and if i could remember
if i could find a place a time the space to see another way home
and if i could forget you
maybe there’s no other way out
no other way out

Blinded

turn me out then turn me on
pretty flower can you tell me whats become of who we are
only asking what youd like tonight
well take america
just shake my tits and ass yeah well go far

and if we wanted more
then that was only what we thought our right was
only wanted more but we were always blinded
here we want to try
but i can try to be as plain as daylight
looking to the world
but we were always blinded

sell a little bit to you
a circus sideshow but the makeups shining through its not so bad
is there anyone to know
forget my politics just sex me til im done its not so hard

and if we wanted more
then that was only what we thought our right was
only wanted more but we were always blinded
here we want to try
but i can try to be as plain as daylight
looking to the world
but we were always blinded

and all the stars are out for you
and everybodys hiding here
and all the stars have come unglued
but everybody everybodys changing
were changing

Closer

you had to lose
a funny thing the part we cant play
id love to offer you with all the blame
but now we have to choose
another round for all my friends and me
another poke at sensibility
weve found out

why are we floundering
im drowning in the revelers sin
ive taken you up on your offerings
i dont even know its good bye

you had to lose
always knew that we werent quite the same
i blew it up with everyone who ever knew me
had to change
a revidescent light to shine the way
and were not always following the same way out now

why are we floundering
im drowning in the revelers sin
ive taken you up on your offerings
i dont even know its good bye
goodbye
