I don't want to take a ride on that train
I don't want to go slowly insane
I don't want to grow up and live in vain
But it's the way of this world
I don't want to leave you with a broken heart
I don't want to be alone after dark
I don't want to let you down as my final mark
But it's the way of this world
I don't want to be dashed out like a cigarette
Or wane away saddled deeply in debt
It's funny how you think, "Oh God, not yet!"
But it's the way of this world

In the Back of Your Car

I made you into something more than I should have
And now I'm so sorry
It's not as though you were
Someone to bleed from the heart over
You're beautiful, you know
And because of what you are
In the back of your car
But it doesn't matter now
And you don't matter now
I used to dream about you
And pay for your love in sweat and penny pound
The bony moon still haunts me
When it glows in the hazy August dark
In the back of your car
But it doesn't matter now
And you don't matter now
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry

So Long My Love

I'm watching you go
I'm watching you go
I'm watching you go
Come back to me
Come back to me
I'm feeling the days
I'm feeling the age
I'm feeling the decade
Come back to me
Come back to me
I want you to be
Whoever you need to be
So I'll set you free
But I wish you excrement
Clearly, that's what I meant
To your vicious heart
To your blackened heart
I'm feeling denied
I'm feeling left behind
I'm feeling forgotten and dry
Preserve me, baby
Keep me pressed, to your chest
I'm feeling the days
I'm feeling my age
I'm feeling this decade
Come back to me
Come back to me
I want you to be
Whoever you need to be
So I'll set you free
But I wish you excrement
Clearly, that's what I meant
To your vicious heart
To your blackened heart
Still, there's one thing that I hope for
Please be safe
Be safe for me

The one I love waits patiently
Climb down from my pedestal and speak freely
That's just how it goes
That's how it is with me
And she knows
The one I love, she owns my heart
She keeps me safe here in the dark
Let a thousand years pass without molest
This blood pumps on hard for
Your kiss
The one I love is no soul divide
She keeps me safe here by her side
Never ever let me stray far from your nest
She protects me when I'm afraid
And rescues me from the darkest shade
Why would I ever leave your velvet embrace?
This blood pumps on hard for
Your kiss
But it's so far
It's so far

All the things you said
Echo in my head
All the things you said
Tear holes in my sleep
It's safe to say that's the price I pay in my mind
It's safe to say that's the price you'll pay, don't be blind
All the things you did
Stained the dreams I hid
All the things you said
Echo on in my head
Break the promises you need to break to be free
Make mistakes it'll bring you closer to me
All the things you said
Echo in my head
All the things you said
Resurrect the things I want dead
It's safe to say that's the price you'll pay in your mind
Make mistakes, those glories get you where you want to be

UFO Evidence

All the twinkling lights I see
Stretched across the vast empty
What a seething ray of hope they provide
What is a star, but a ball of light
Your fire's gone out
And your death was bright
Leaving only a trace
Of your brilliant life
Your fire's gone out
And your death was bright
But I'm warmed by the glow
Of your brilliant life
Somewhere there are pairs of eyes
Winking back across the skies
Forever watching us fade and burn
Observing, profiling, counting days
Through sci-fi flicks
And conspiracies
I'm awash in doubt
And obscurity
Your fire's gone out
And your death was bright
But I'm warmed by the glow
Of your brilliant life
Your brilliant life

Under Stars Underwater

I've got so much on my mind
Weighing me down, take a dive
Maybe much deeper than you
So black it almost turns blue
Don't let me down like you do
Serve up sweet subterfuge
Only so much I can take
Rattled by this deathquake
They say things weren't meant to be
What does that matter to me?
God knows how it's gonna end
So make like we're best friends
You don't know your own mind
You think you do but you're blind
No matter what, where, or how
It's all a blur to me now
I want to break free from this
Never to re-enlist
So many things left behind
So many ways we could die
I've got too much on my mind
Weighing me down, take a slide
Sinking deeper than you
The deep freeze turns me blue
Forget what I just said
You might already be dead
But will you rise from the grave?
One in which you willingly laid
I thought I needed you now
Thinking we'd pull through somehow
But you're just dragging me down
Better I leave you
Can't keep the dark wolves at bay
Can't keep them outside your door
Can't be your spine and heartbeat
I just can't take it no more
I've got too much on my mind
The debt is pressing me down
Guess I'm fine with that too
But it's makes this whole world turn blue

We've shared planets of time
And spent the best years of our lives
What do we have to show for it now?
What do we know?
And where do we go from here?
To see you in an early morning sun
Or watch it all come undone
Where have you been?
Such honesty can't be bought
A bond of untarnished trust
To have the courage to stand by your side
To tell the truth
Or if I had to, to tell lies
To see you in the early morning sun
Or watch it all come undone
There's nothing left that I can be
You've had the best of me
And I've had the best of you
Where have you been?
Then you turn to me and say
"I hate you but I love you too"
You turn to me and say
"Yeah, I hate you but I love you too"

We Were Only Dreaming

You are a delicate flower
In your divine grace
I am ugly when I stand by your side
But I can't wipe the smile off my face
I want to keep you all to myself
The world is stealing what's ours
I only pray this summer never ends
To the sounds of steady traffic in the background
We churn and we writhe in sweet unison
How I want to keep you all to myself
You are a delicate flower
In your divine grace
Absence is to love what wind is to fire
It extinguishes the small and inflames the great
Oh how I just want to see you naked

Sewn Into Your Bed
01:59

I like the long lick of a shadow
As it drips gently away from me
This is the best at my behest
I don't feel the grip of, "don't leave me!"
I love the simple shock to the system
When clarity comes to mind
It doesn't happen much but when it does
I'm grateful for what I see
It's only flesh and bone
Sewn into your bed
Do you ever get the feeling that something is so wrong?
I dream of sweet sinister reprieves
From a life's failed longing
So second best is my best
I accept my inefficiencies
I'm a battery of untapped energy
Take what you want from me
Easily led by the head that's the credo of the vanquished
That's me
It's only flesh and bone
Sewn into your bed
Do you ever get the feeling that something is so wrong?
