I've
only been listening to Guster for a short time, yet I already love their
music. I went out on the Web to find some of their lyrics, and of
those I did find, all were wrong. The lyrics you find here my not
be exact, but are the best interpretation of what I hear.

What
you wish for
Woke up today
to everything grey
And all that
I saw just kept goin on and on
Sweep all
the pieces under the bed
Close all
the curtains and cover my head
And what you
wish for won't come true
You aren't
surprised love, are you?
If this serenade
is not what you want
It's just
how it is, it keeps goin on and on
Come out,
come out where ever you are
Would you
do it all over right from the start
And what you
wish for won't come true
You aren't
suprised love, are you?
So what you
wish for won't come true
You aren't
surprised love, are you?
Once had this
dream, crashed down and up
Not black
and white, but where the colors are
I never dreamed
that I would let her go
And I will
get what I deserve
Keep all the
secrets under the bed
Open the curtains,
forget what I said
And what you
wished for could come true
You aren't
surprised love, are you?
So what you
wished for could come true
You aren't
surprised love, are you?
Barrel
of a Gun
I know a movie
star, I've got her plastered to my wall
Just like
we're dear old friends, like she already knows me
She's perfect
as she seems, lifts me right out the Mezanine
I finally
fell in love, I've been waiting forever
4 3 2 1 Went
out the barrel of the gun
Keep my head
weight (way?) down
Stand, I'll
stand
Half dead
and half numb
She's enough
to make me warm
It's all so
safe and sound
Lie back and
fast asleep, if you could see what I could see
Drip drop
a lovely dream
God damn you
movie star, can't you just play a minute more
We'd be the
best of friends, you could stay here forever
4 3 2 1 Went
out the barrel of a gun
Keep my head
weight (way?) down
Stand, I'll
stand
Half dead
and half numb
She's enough
to make me warm
It's all so
safe and sound
She will be
sweet on me, just like a mystery
It's not so
hard to see if I'm not mistaken
She comes
from far away, and gets closer everyday
And all that
I can say is that she's all I want and all that I live for
4 3 2 1 Went
out the barrel of a gun
Keep my head
weight (way?) down
Stand, I'll
stand
Half dead
and half numb
She's enough
to make me warm
It's all so
safe and sound
Either
Way
You were almost
kind, you were almost true
Don't let
me see that other side of you
You have learned
in time that you must be cruel
I'll have
to wait to get the best of you
Poison in
everything you said
Don't you,
don't you?
Wonder what
difference does it make......Either way
You were almost
kind, you were almost true
Why give away
that other side of you
Happens every
time, so it must be true
Step on a
kid, he'll grow up hating you
Poison in
everything you said
Don't you,
don't you
Wonder what
difference does it make....Either way
Were you ever
kind, were you always cruel?
Who's ever
seen that other side of you?
Happened every
time, so it must be true?
Where did
you learn it's either him or you?
You were almost
kind, you were almost true
Don't let
me see that other side of you
You have learned
in time that you must be cruel
I'll have
to wait to get the best of you
Poison in
everything you said
Don't you,
don't you?
Wonder what
difference does it make......Either way(2x)

When you look
in the mirror, wish you were somebody else
Just a perfect
reflection, you and no one else
Minutes run
into hours, hours run into days
You're still
waiting for someone who never ever came
Fa
Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the
same again
Fa
Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the
same again
You were always
saying something, you swear you'd never say again
You were always
saying something, you swear you'd never say again
Fa
Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the
same again
Fa
Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the
same again
Go and run
through the hallways, and find your way to the door
You will end
up like always, back where you were before
Can you look
in the mirror, wish you were somebody else
But it's still
your reflection, you and no one else
You were always
saying something, you swear you'd never say again
You were always
saying something, you swear you'd never say again

Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the

Never be the

No matter

You'll never
find your way home no matter where you go
You were always
saying something, you swear you'd never say again
You were always
saying something, you swear you'd never say again

I
Spy
We went down
to the May parade, mumbled words under my breath
There is something
I've been meaning to do, I am dying to tell you
I've been
so damned tired
It went down
at the May parade, bitter words under my breath
There is something
I've been dyin to do, I was meaning to tell you
I've been
so damned sad
Cause I spy
something wrong
You don't
know how far you've gone
Or recognize
who you've become
How'd you
grow to be so hard...sick of playing my part
We went down
at the May parade, alcohol under my breath
There is something
I've been meaning to do, I am dying to tell you
I've been
so damned sad
Cause I spy
something wrong
You don't
know how far you've gone
Or recognize
who you've become
When'd you
grow to be so hard...sick of playing my part
Center
of Attention
One of us
won't last the night, between you and me it's no surprise
There's two
of us, both can't be right
Neither will
move till it's over
I'm the center
of attention and the wall's inside my head
And no one
will ever no it if I keep my mouth shut tight
My own little
world is what I deserve
Cause I am
the only child there is
I'm king of
it all, the bell of the ball
I promise
I've always been like this
Forever the
first, my bubble can't burst
It's almost
like only I exist
Where everything's
fine, if I can keep my mouth shut tight...tight...tight
All by myself,
I'm so much better on my own
And way out
the, it is the same old place that it always has been
I'm the center
of attention and the wall's inside my head
And no one
will ever no it if I keep my mouth shut tight..tight...tight
My own little
world is what I deserve
Cause I am
the only child there is
I'm king of
it all, the bell of the ball
I promise
I've always been like this
Forever the
first, my bubble can't burst
It's almost
like only I exist
Where everything's
fine, if I can keep my mouth shut tight...tight...tight
One of us
won't last the night, between you and me it's no surprise
There's two
of us, both can't be right
Neither will
move till it's over
I'm the center
of attention and the wall's inside my head
And no one
will ever no it if I keep my mouth shut tight
Yeah, no one
will ever notice if I keep my mouth shut tight...tight...tight
Cause I am
the only child there is
I'm king of
it all, the bell of the ball
I promise
I've always been like this
Forever the
first, my bubble can't burst
It's almost
like only I exist
Where everything's
mine, if I can keep my mouth shut tight...tight...tight
All
the Way up to Heaven
He said to
only look up
He said to
never look down
Down is where
he came from
He said to
hope for the best and take a load off my chest
Soon I could
be happy
And go all
the way up to heaven
And go all
the way back home
(whistles)
He thought
I might need his help
No one gets
high on themselves
I just seem
so lonely
He's just
trying to be nice
And spread
around his advice
I could be
that happy
And go all
the way up to heaven
And go all
the way back home
Stay the way
I am today and serve to more disaster
He could tell
a fairy tale that's happy ever after
Just relax
and green of grass will grow here for a change
Maybe then
we'll last a million years or more..or more..or more
And go all
the way up to heaven
And go all
the way back home
Yes, I do
belive what he says
I want to
be happy
I could show
you this hell
No one gets
by on themselves
He can make
me happy
(It's a long silent peace)
And I will
only love him
(It'a a weakness in your knees)
And I will
never look down
Down is where
we came from
(It's a perfect place to go for everlasting love)
Because it's
all in the past
(Nothing to fear, nothing to hide)
He took a
load off my chest
(You just say what's on your mind)
(Needn't think before you speak)
Ooh cause
it's not happy
(This is how it's meant to be)
Cause I had
needed his help
(Never high, never fall)
No matter
how by myself
(You can do no wrong at all)
I am going
nowhere
(In this heaven up above filled with everlasting love)
And now I'm
changing my plans
Because we
only live once
Ooh could
be this happy
Once, I could
live by his side
Happier
Say goodbye,
lose your friends, make them go, don't need them around
Cause it's
time, lose your friends, make them go, was never supposed to be like this
They were
too weak, too prone to break
Their needs
too deep, their skin too thin
By now you
took what was to take
Tear it apart
and start again
So go on,
if this will make you happier
It got you
this far, did what you had to
You've wasted
every moment of your Saturdays and your Sundays
You're wasted
from the boredom, was never supposed to be like this
Like your
father said, just do what was done unto you..always
In your father's
steps you'll do what was done unto you
It won't be
hard to start again
So go on,
if this will make you happier
It got you
this far, do what you have to
(Well you knew this would come)
And you're
gone now
(And you've left me all alone)
And did it
make you happier?
(And you're lost and long gone, don't take it so seriously)
It wasn't
that hard
(Go on and get goin, I'm fine on my own)
Did what you
had to
(We got you this far, finally got it figured out)
One more itch
you son of a bitch
You've been
wasting my time...always
And now you're
half awake
You bend till
you break
And make the
same mistakes...always
So go on,
if this will make you happier
It got you
this far, do what you have to
(Well you knew this would come)
And you're
gone now
(And you've left me all alone)
And did it
make you happier?
(And you're lost and long gone, don't take it so seriously)
It wasn't
that hard
(Go on and get goin, I'm fine on my own)
Did what you
had to
(We got you this far, finally got it figured out)
So
Long
Yes I heard
all that you had to say
That's when
it all fell apart
Might be hated,
but I can't pretend
I liked you
better before
So long, so
long, front foot leads the back one
Go on and
it won't be too soon
I'm gone,
I'm gone and on to the next one
So long, and
I won't be back soon
Yes I'm blue,
but from holding my breath
Like I have
from the start
I'm the villain
and I should confess
I liked you
better before
So long, so
long and on to the next one
Go on and
it won't be too soon
I'm gone,
I'm gone, bet you saw this one comin?
So long and
I won't be back soon
It's hateful
to say, see it this way
Don't even
know who you are
But in my
defense I'd do it again
I don't need
to know who you are
So long, so
long and on to the next one
Go on and
it won't be too soon
You're gone,
you're gone, are you waiting for somethin?
Go on cause
I won't be back soon
It's hateful
to say, see it this way
Don't even
know who you are
But in my
defense I'd do it again
I don't need
to know who you are
So long, so
long, front foot leads the back one
Go on and
it won't be too soon
You're lost
and gone and on to the next one
Don't need
to know who you are
Don't need
to know who you are
Two
Points for Honesty
If that's
all you will be, you'll be a waste of time
You've dreamed
a thousand dreams, none seem to stick in your mind
Two points
for honesty
It must make
you sad to know that nobody cares at all
I want to
be where I've never been before
I want to
be there and then I'd understand
Know I'm right
and do it right, could I get to be like that
I'll know
what I don't know with nothin more to gain
Will I get
better or stay the same
I find I always
move to slowly
Can't lift
a finger, can't change my mind
I never knew
till someone told me that...
If that's
all you will be, you'll be a waste of time
You've dreamed
a thousand dreams, none seem to stick in your mind
Two points
for honesty
It must make
you sad to know that nobody cares at all
And all the
people who've seen it all before
And all the
people who really understand
Know they're
right, and have done it right, could I get to be like that
I'll know
what I don't know, it's harder everyday
Can't lift
a finger, can't hurt a fly
I've found
I always move too slowly
One things
for certain, I'm insecure
I never knew
till someone told me that....
If that's
all you will be, you'll be a waste of time
You've dreamed
a thousand dreams, none seem to stick in your mind
Two points
for honesty
It must make
you sad to know that nobody cares at all
Nobody cares
at all
They never
care at all
Rainy
Day
I will dig
a hole
Save my pennies
for a rainy day
I will dig
a hole
Savin pennies
for a rainy day
I'm not scared
I will build
a wall
Sensing trouble
from a mile away
I will build
a wall
Saw it comin
from a mile away
I'm not scared
I'm not scared
Try wearin
your insides out
I don't even
try, I know I have seen the best I'll have
I don't even
try
I will just
play dumb
I won't hear
a sigle word that's said
I will bite
my tongue
Never sing
another song again
I'm not scared
I'm not scared
Try wearing
my insides out
I don't even
try, I know I have seen the best I'll have
I don't even
try
Now they want
to take my chances
I don't even
try
Clouds are
comin
Air get's
heavy
Looks like
trouble on a rainy day
Sun starts
sinking
Can't see
my shadow
Looks like
trouble on a rainy day
Holes uncovered
Walls will
crumble
All spells
trouble on a rainy day
Great
Escape
Please come
tempt me you’ve got something good in mind
Dropped everything
glad to be persuade this time
Into the car
baby bleed the gas
Fast is fast
never turning back
Oh yeah not
scared of that
The past has
passed and we cannot take it back
They want
to know if we could get away
Yeah we backed
it up and made our great escape
When the dust
will settle and they discover
The furthest
exodus getting somewhere
While the
messengers get the message in
Try to capture
us we’ve done nothing wrong
Please come
tempt me steal me from this priss-teen life
Oh so gently
everyone feels pain this time
Into the car
baby bleed the gas
Fast is fast
never turning back
Oh yeah not
scared of that
The past has
passed and we cannot take it back
They want
to know if we could get away
Yeah we backed
it up and made our great escape
When the dust
will settle and they discover
The furthest
exodus getting somewhere
While the
messengers get the message in
Try to capture
us we’ve done nothing wrong
Oh she wants

And she needs
me
She can have
me all of the time
Oh she wants
me
And she needs
me
Circle circle

They want
to know if we could get away
Yeah we backed
it up and made our great escape
When the dust
will settle and they discover
The furthest
exodus getting somewhere
While the
messengers get the message in
Try to capture
us we’ve done nothing wrong
Demons
My words confuse
you
My eyes don’t
move a blink
Cause it’s
easier sometimes
Not to be
sincere
Somehow I
make you believe
Believe
When I speak
I cross my fingers
Will you know
you’ve been deceived?
I find a need
to be the demon
A demon cannot
be hurt
Honest is
easy
Fiction is
where genius lies
Cause it’s
easier sometimes
Not to be
involved
Somehow I
make you believe
Believe
When I speak
I cross my fingers
Will you know
you’ve been deceived?
I find a need
to be the demon
A demon cannot
be hurt
When I speak
I cross my fingers
Will you know
you’ve been deceived?
I find a need
to be the demon
A demon cannot
be hurt
When I speak
I cross my fingers
Will you know
you’ve been deceived?
I find a need
to be the demon
A demon cannot
be hurt
Perfect
(Needle)
Played follow
the leader
Keeping my
steps in time
Counting on
the wonder ahead
I leave the
pain behind
It’s on me
It’s all mine
Go away
They’re my
mistakes
They’re not
your problem
Pinned down
in this heaven
I’ll die a
thousand times
Aware of the
damage ahead
I’ll leave
the pain behind
Another day
A perfect
day
A twinge of
pain
The sting
of the needle
So warm at
the bottom
Warm never
felt so kind
And for a
moment or two
I leave it
all behind
It's on me
It's all mine
Go away, they're
my mistake and not your problem
Black dog
White picket
fences
Mow them down
and dance in the rip tide
Face down
in consequences
Crack me up
and stay on your own side
Another day
A perfect
day
A twinge of
pain, the sting of the needle
Starin at
the walls provide
A brilliant
sight through eyes of the needle
I wish I may
I wish I might
I pray my
soul to keep tonight
When all the
walls start staring back
A perfect
day
A sting for
the last time
Airport
Song
Glad you made
it
Welcome to
the farm
Who’s your
daddy?
I’m your daddy
now
I’m here seeking
only what i need
In your mind
is where ill plant my seed
It’s for sure
Let me keep
you in this place
You’ll be
better off this way
I will keep
you warm and safe
You’ll be
better off this way
You learn
to love the price you pay
Trust me dear
you’re better off this way
Put to bed
the son and sister moon
Ill be hiding
in your dirty room
Ill go there
seeking only what I need
La ti da we’ll
stay there till we bleed
It’s for sure
Let me keep
you in this place
You’ll be
better off this way
I will keep
you warm and safe
You’ll be
better off this way
I will not
wake you from your sleep
Leave you
wandering counting sheep
No more sad
and sunshine days
Trust me dear
you’re better off this way
You’ll be
selling books at the airport
Medicine
Into the maze
Enter the
medicine handed down
Within these
veins
Bleeding with
apathy till it drowns
No more to
gain
Needing the
ugliness that surrounds
Return again
Caught in
the medicine handed down
Am I your
charity?
For you to
look so kind?
But your aim
is not quite clear
It’s better
if you leave in quiet
Is this mood
frightening?
And who are
you sometimes?
Don’t try
and rescue me
Go save someone
else
I’m far past
done
Gasping, calling
I saw I’m
all alone
Grasping,
crawling
Is this not
what you had planned?
Oh I’m all
alone
Go on hero
You’re faking
no one, not today
Stop this
you’re scaring me
Don’t even
know you now
Trying to
rescue me
Go save someone
else
I’m way past
gone
Into the maze
X-ray
Eyes
To clear the
conscience of who I am
I break the
silence that keeps it all in
I’ve given
you everything I wish you knew
I did it for
me
I didn’t do
it for you
I looked her
way with x-ray eyes
And she looked
like she was not even there
Preserving
the things that I have kept from you
Didn’t give
them away when you had asked me to
You’re pointing
at me and how do I reply
I smash your
fingers and drag you away
I looked away
with X-ray eyes
And she looked
like she was not even there
I cannot deny
that I had planned this
I only gave
till I was done
Fallen on
me this happy ending
I know I was
awake and she was numb
But then she
started to leave
Finally started
to leave
Then she looked
like she was not even there
Grin
Absent in
the things I’ve done
For the real
Revelations
come to people so slow
Frightening
Won’t stop
now before they’re done
Peel their
skin
Eaten underneath
Rotten
Rotten
Drowning in
understanding
Swallowed
poison keeps them well
But watching
the others struggle through
Makes me grin
Should I tell
the mindless stumbling through
That I have
found it?
Watching all
the things they’ve done
This is real
When revolution
comes from misguided hands
Frightening
And in all
the idiots I see
Thoughtless
men casting doubts on me
Enlightening
Downing in
understanding
Swallowed
poison keeps them well
But watching
the others struggle through
Makes me grin
Should I tell
the mindless stumbling through
That I have
found it?
They’ll turn
the vice once
And slowly
break your hand
Will it come
back to you now
Just like
it never left?
(Chorus in
forefront, lyrics below as backup)
Peel away
their faith, their fears, have led them towards the worse one
See the way
their minds have glazed they’re looking for the worst one
But I have
found it
Getting
Even
She leans
closer to me
I give a warning
of higher calling
Must go over
with me
We’re not
happy in this place we are
Get up
The countdown
will begin
Get up
Towards devotion
Get up
Leave everything
with them
Get up
Cause you
won’t need anything
We’ll be shielded
up above
And the screams
will not reach us
Fear will
be undone
On the path
of chosen ones
Getting even
They haven’t
heard a word we’ve said
They make
mistakes
They doubt
his calling
To taste revenge
will be so sweet
When we have
left them this place
And as we
leave our sacrifice
One final
step outside
No longer
feel these things around
Soon we’ll
be happy in the place we are
Get up
The countdown
will begin
Get up
Towards devotion
Get up
Leave everything
with them
Get up
Cause you
won’t need anything
We’ll be shielded
up above
And the screams
will not reach us
Fear will
be undone
On the path
of chosen ones
Getting even
Bury
Me
When the day
will come along
And you have
been there
Find the angels
at your feet
Prone on the
ground there
So come and
bury me
I’ll find
mine underneath
Don’t you
see the kingdom?
Hold your
crown so high
So come and
bury me
Won’t find
mine underneath
Don’t know
where the angel’s gone
Haven’t been
there
Find the jackals
at your feet
Stain the
ground there
Don’t you
see the kingdom?
Hold your
crown so high
Don’t come
and bury me
Won’t find
mine underneath
So come and
bury me
Won’t find
mine underneath
Rocketship
They’ll find
it on the stairs
Politely placed
it there
Been so unkind
without a hint
No warning
sign for them
Read my apology
Their hope
of disbelief
But no denial
changes things
No remedy
ahead
I am not to
be martyred
I am not to
be worshipped
I did it not
to be strong, strong, strong
I implicate
no others in this crime
I’m off on
a rocketship prepared for something new
I’m off on
a rok-it-ship ecstatic with the view
I am scared
of the things upcoming
And I want
for the things I don’t have
Cannot stand
to be one of many
I’m not what
they are
We'll
gather in my name
The morning
will begin
It's all or
nothing over there
It's teasing
me again
I am not to
be martyred
I am not to
be worshipped
I did it not
to be strong, strong, strong
I implicate
no others in this crime
I’m off on
a rocketship prepared for something new
I’m off on
a rok-it-ship ecstatic with the view
I am scared
of the things upcoming
And I want
for the things I don’t have
Cannot stand
to be one of many
I’m not what
they are
I’m not what
they are
Fall
in Two
He smiled
to the world
But his heart
fell below his pain
He wanted
only arms
But he lied
to himself again
Closing doors
and locking locks
He looked
inside himself
Only to find
Seeping from
his soul
Let me fall
in two
Wide as a
river and spread as thin
What it could
start and no one would finish
Bottled up
frowning treaties or what they would
Knowing not
nothing he was the only son
Closing doors
and locking locks
He looked
inside himself
Only to find
Seeping from
his soul
Let me fall
in two
Let me fall
in two
What are you
running from?
He finds himself
away
Only have
to make the world come find you
Try to leave
but there is nothing he can do
Downcast eyes
scrutinize
As to what
the lead ball hummingbird could not succumb
To find what
is gone you must burn what is dried
And smell
the essence of what remains inside
And blackened
thoughts erase all that is past
Before him
not knowing where it’s coming
So you shake
him around and scream into his eyes
That to drown
in the water is to lie by his side
Closing doors
and locking locks
He looked
inside himself
Only to find
Seeping from
his soul
Let me fall
in two
Mona
Lisa
If in the
morning you look up
Fake a smile
and you sigh
Don’t fear
the future
In the years
to come you’ll learn
I used to
sit and watch the pouring rain
I used to
wish to be back home again
I hadn’t the
strength then
I hadn’t the
chance to reveal it
But it’s all
in your hands
When do we
begin?
Although you’re
so sad
Discover things
never had
It makes you
wonder
A life alone
you’ll learn
You’ll learn
When do we
begin?
Love
for Me
I know there
is a place
A place where
I belong
Not mistreated
or undone
And if I find
that place
I’ll keep
my mouth shut
Cause I won’t
be there alone
And if you’re
standing there with me
I’ll swear
it’s a lie and I’ll still believe it
Cause I came
And I spoke
And you ran
Didn’t even
wait to hear the words
Or see the
look in my eyes
Cause I bled
And you watched
And I cried
myself to sleep
Came to wipe
my tears away but you
You couldn’t
look in my eyes again
Because of
the love for me
I understand
the time
It passes
so slowly
And I can
hear its laughter
But there
will come a time
When you will
ask me
And I will
join you then
And if you’re
standing there with me
I’ll swear
it’s a lie and I’ll still believe it
Because of
the love for me
Window
A gaping wound
tells the story of it all
A man lost
only to find
What was left
of his mind?
With no hope
of a scar at all
You say, “Go
slow”
But something’s
right behind me
I can run
away for only so long
It will not
stop
I will come
down
Oh no
Let me find
my way
I’ll take
you to the edge
Go across
that window
And I’ll carry
you there
Oh when nothing
goes right
Oh when days
don’t come tonight
Oh when all
I see is the error of my own enemy
A man alone
and cut and torn for it
His whole
life friend after friend
They’re all
a flash in the pan
With no hope
of rejoice at all
Let me find
my way
(Don’t be
scared of what you might be thinking)
I’ll take
you to the edge
Go across
that window
And I’ll carry
you....
Eden
All I want
is the world
And everything
for me
You can rattle
off your talk
All that matters
is what I see
If you break
me down
Selfish desire
is all you blame
Cause desperate
times
Call for desperate
measures
And I am not
ashamed
Oh it took
me a long time to come to this
And I have
chosen my path
I am only
for me
All my dreams
are so closed
If I open
them to you
You can count
them all as lies
You can believe
me or you can believe the truth
But I could
let you in
Put your feelings
on the shelf
There’s only
room cause it helps myself
Oh I could
let you in
But it’s to
no avail
I only listen
cause it helps myself
Oh it took
me a long time to come to this
And I have
chosen my path
I am only
for me
I took a cane
from a blind man
And I’ve tasted
the fruit in the garden of Eden
When I walk
out of here
I know I’ll
stand clear
But the taste
in my mouth still remains
Still remains
Oh it took
me along time
I am only
for me
Scars
and Stitches
Can you remember?
What the future
held
A little candy
ring
And a mystic
oceans shell
But they were
all anesthetized
And slowly
washed away
Left all the
poison in the sands in which I played
I don’t mind
falling down and scraping up my knees
Scars and
Stitches always fade and only strengthen me
But with my
eyes as wide as pearls
My only centerpiece
Is taken like
a dead mans urn and tossed into the sea
Write me like
a letter
And dot your
I’s and cross you T’s
Nothing was
everything to me
Under the
monsters claws and in between his teeth
Was the shadow
and a silhouette of what I’d thought I’d be?
I don’t mind
falling down and scraping up my knees
Scars and
Stitches always fade and only strengthen me
But with my
eyes as wide as pearls
My only centerpiece
Well it’s
taken like a dead mans urn and tossed into the sea
The
Prize
My, my how
things have changed since I have been away
It’s the first
time but it’s different, I’m afraid
Where’s the
boy so happy to be near it all?
He’s lost
in the travels
A little part
of me so small
Cry for me
Cry for him
Cry for the
answer
Cry because
it’s done
Cry for the
feeling
Cry for the
youth
All for the
prize
Through different
eyes
The promise
that you have made forgets
See it as
you may
Deny it while
you can
Search for
the reasons
As you beg
to understand
Cry for me
Cry for him
Cry for the
answer
Cry because
it’s done
Cry for the
feeling
Cry for the
youth
All for the
prize
Come and go
Don’t get
pulled into the light
Come and go
Wouldn’t believe
it if you tried
Come and go
It’s as useless
as it was
You can go
The end we
know
I wont tell
you anything
So far away
you are to me
Cry for me
Cry for him
Cry for the
answer
Cry because
it’s done
Cry for the
feeling
Cry for the
youth
All for the
prize (2x)
My, my I swear
it’s been a lifetime since i have been away
It’s the last
time but somehow it’s all the same
Where’s the
boy?
Dissolve
(for Fred
and Emil Banzhaf)
And it’s true
he was so young
But you are
here
And the moment
clouds your brain
You could’ve
even saved him
That means
nothing
You could’ve
even been there
That’s a lie
How can you
blame him for your life?
It’s a mental
suicide
And it carries
you away
Dissolve your
fear into one
Dissolve will
find a way
Then it’s
true we aren’t immune
But there’s
a way
And denial
clouds your brain
To try and
understand him
That means
nothing
To try and
find the meaning
It’s a lie
How can you
blame him for your life?
It’s a mental
suicide
And it carries
you away
Dissolve your
fear into one
Dissolve will
find a way
To right a
wrong
To understand
To figure
out
It’s in His
plans
To leave alone
To find a
way
To figure
out
It’s not your
fault
And it’s the
both of you he’s ruined
He’s torn
away all the desire born inside
You could’ve
even saved him
That means
nothing
You could’ve
even been there
That’s a lie
To try and
understand him
That means
nothing
To try and
find the meaning
It's a lie
To leave alone
To find a
way
To figure
out
It’s not your
fault
To see yourself
Your brother
wouldn’t be proud of you
Proud of you
anymore
Cocoon
Just one more
time he said as he crawls into his own
I’m doing
fine he said as the tears fall down alone
Why must you
question me?
Do you want
your future blown?
Look at the
sight of him
What can he
do to show you?
Living life
for others
Shuffle through
the day
Everyone is
out to get him
What do they
have to say?
Pull yourself
up out of this rut
Make it all
come clean
Cause the
day the sun gets in your eyes
Is the day
that you’ll be free?
Open the door
The world
is too young
To see what
you’ve felt before
When all the
sleeps end restlessly
Without time
Dream yourself
to sleep at night
Only lying
beneath the clouds
Spend your
lifetime in the shade
When the early
morning sun wakes up
To reveal
the pain you’ve laid
Happy
Frappy
Not much of
this makes sense to me
The river
leaves run cold and dry
But it keeps
me from swinging tree to tree
And sometimes
I’m too scared to even try
Hashing through
the possibilities
They seem
as endless as the sky
You seek the
truth and the quiet breeze
But the air
is too thin to reply
Well I know
that’s where I’ll never be
Because I
can see the summer’s done
I try to let
the river flow in and out of me
And pray I
float the way I think I want
And pray I
float at all
Distant notions
of subtle residue
Cling to minds
from our past
Tell us what
is what and who made who
But time’s
events move us too fast
Simple sentiments
whisked away by anxious steel wool
Struggling
to content ourselves with what we think best
That what
makes happy of which we seem never full
Is actually
more than plenty though it is already possessed
Well I know
that’s where I’ll never be
Because I
can see the summer’s done
I try to let
the river flow in and out of me
And pray I
float the way I think I want
And pray I
float at all
Not much of
this makes sense to me
The river
leaves run cold and dry
But it keeps
me from swinging tree to tree
And sometimes
I’m too scared to even try
Utter confusion
feigns clarity
Scattered
delusions excuses destiny
It’s never
exactly how it appears to be
It’s too much
for any of us who even try to see
Well I know
that’s where I’ll never be
Because I
can see the summer’s done
I try to let
the river flow in and out of me
And pray I
float the way I think I want
And pray I
float at all
Parachute
There we stand
about to fly
Peeking down
over land
Parachute
behind
What was that
moment for which we live?
Without a
parachute about to dive
I find myself
convincing
Blindly falling
faster
How easy
Know the place
I’m leaving
And the rest
just is gone
Oh the adoration
But how much
strength does it take
For exploration
For split
decision
Or are you
stronger to remain
I find myself
convincing
Blindly falling
faster
How easy
Know the place
I’m leaving
And the rest
is just gone
It crept up
on me
Ignored all
my pleas
Begging to
leave
No justice
to name me
Fell out of
the sky
Cease it to
be
Without a
reply
Gravity fails
me
And when I
awoke
I knew what
was real
Hope to convince
you
Lies they
all torture me
Opened the
door
Knew what
was me
I finally
realized
Parachute
over me
