Hard to breathe
He'll never know the sounds and shouts you hum between
He'll never get your lost where I can always reach
You can only come before me
I don't want to leave, someone else will come pick her up easy
Even though I've been putting back the pieces
If I go then she must be broken
Hard to see
You shouldn't try to walk unless you want to kneel
You shouldn't try to stop the way you want to feel
You can only love before me
I don't want to leave, someone else will come pick her up easy
Even though I've been putting back the pieces
If I go then she must be broken
One proviso
My ever onerous seed
Can only better by panacea
(How I run)
One revival
Internecine Matisse
In that I painted your blue and broken like me
I don't want to leave, someone else will come pick her up easy
Even though I've been putting back the pieces
If I go then she must be broken

This crown so heavily weighs
(So what)
So, would you wear it for less
(who)
Whoever married this queen
(hoping that his riddle is guessed)
I hope his riddle is guessed
(oh)
Convivial spreading wings
reveal a lioness
convening with her cards
considering my odds
(now my vision gone)
casual singleton
(who stands akimbo)
her roping neckline
(inveigled by the long)
fibulas that dangle from
(her other operatic bones)
my anguish as they
languish in her dress
I'm a mess
(woah)
like a daisy bloom
(petals fresh and new)
somehow forgot the moon
(inside this crowded room)
daliances hued
(old and violent blue)
her nastic dancing
(as if the time stopped)
holding you is something that I always had to do
knowing this something is beyond my own control
once the suite has passed
use my heart's bagasse
to burn the evidence
why leave it up to chance
(rouge on summer lips)
lost between the sips
(of newly minted)
silver bourbon
(gentle finger tips)
careful not to trip
(her silent glance a fer de lance)
the size of which will
stop you in your tracks
hat are the chances
that someone perfect like she
is also perfect enough
to fall in love with a real
imperfect person
someone who's fallen down
what are the chances
now that my chance has run out

This here's a broken man
(On my knees and in your hands)
All glass and splinters
(laid abreast to face my own demands)
Like sharpened teeth
Here I am
From bones I borrow
(all the gifts that sorrow has)
Forged apposition
(stronger hearts have known this circumstance)
Though wild and free
Here I am
Forever here to stay
Swearing not to wander
Stop standing in my way
Here I am
Shattered and Stronger
This was a broken man
Cut down a quiver pro-tem
Fire from the memories
Harrowed to never be open
Fragmented like before
Incessantly adored
by all the tragedies
I never thought Id reach out and
Grab on to safer shores
What crashes also scores
a paradise in idle reverie
Forever here to stay
Swearing not to wander
Stop standing in my way
Here I am
Shattered and Stronger
Although we break again
(On your knees and in my hands)
Don't hold me gently
(all the love that anyone can give)
I guess its true
(I give to you)
Here i am
Stop standing in my way
Here I am
Shattered and Stronger
On my knees and in your hands
(Here I am)
(here I am)

Into the Darkness (Live)

When I walk into the darkness
Can she feel my break my promise
Can these kisses remain harmless
Should they even try?
When I walk into the darkness
Can she feel the warmth that I felt
As I wander gladly into
Someone else's arms
When you walk
When you walk
When you walk
When you walk
Walk
When she calls into the darkness
who will answer as I undress
when I have the only witness
lying by my side
When she calls into the darkness
will her echo reach my conscience
is he preaching in absentia
or did he finally die
When you walk
When you walk
When you walk
When you walk
Walk
Will I walk into the darkness
knowing that your love is selfless
Will I walk into the darkness
knowing that you'll cry
Will I walk into the darkness
knowing that you'll search for answers
Will I walk into the darkness
knowing what you'll find
Will I walk into the darkness
knowing that your love is honest
Will I walk into the darkness
leaving you with lies
Will I walk into the darkness
unashamed of my indulgence
Will I walk into the darkness
that buries me alive
