Velvet Lung

You know it's really cold
When your skin starts to crack
And in the tips of your fingers
That feeling you lack
But we don't mind
Out here on our own
We let the heat of the night
Lift us, carry us home
And in that club
You test your gaze on me
And you emerge distinct
From light and revelry
And all our hands froze
In the air, with the flash of the light
And with my velvet lung
I will see it though
And breathe in the poison that is inside of you
And when I wake back up, I will come back to you
Because my velvet lung
Will make me new
You'll know it's really cold when your skin starts to crack
But with my velvet lung, we're not ever going back

Doldrums

Well I've been down in the doldrums now
Where warmth and love just can't be found
Like to go 'bout every other week
Keep my crooked mind limber and my spirit weak
And sometimes when I'm down
I will see them there
My friends, I watch in horror as shadows rip and pull at their hair
There's nothing I can do for them
There's nothing they can do for me
Ignore the thoughts in our heads, and try not to get sucked down too deep
Well I've been out in the doldrums now
Where bold lights dim as I take one down
If I could tempt you, there's no rest for the weak
Get your straight mind bent and then we'll get free
And as the night begins to fall
I could take you there
And we could sink and drown the demons that would fuel our despair
There's nothing I can do for you
There's nothing you can do for me
Ignore the thoughts in our heads, and try not to get sucked down too deep
You should come down to the depths sometime
Become acquainted with me and mine
Once you've been there you could never forget
How it made you hurt, it made you burn and bleed and sweat
Been there for a long trip
Don't wanna go again
But I know I'll be headed back down there before my journey comes to an end
And here we go

Fruit of Delusion
03:49

Well I don't know about my state of mind
I've got this feelin' hangin' over my head all of the time
What it is, I don't know myself
But it's better than nothing, so I'll take you for my health
And it's so nice, to see us on a sunny day
When everything is good and going our way
Someday, it'll never set
And we'll rise and look down on our silhouettes
Until then, I don't really know
But I won't watch the time go right out the window
Won't try to hold on, I won't try to let go
I'll just slowly go mad with the thought that we'll always be close
Well I don't know about my state of mind
I'm shakin' breakin' and rebuilding most all of the time
And it's strange, how fast the time flies
When I run around in circles trying to keep up with your lies
This is the fruit of my delusion
The product of your illusion

Everything

I want the darkness of your night
I want the brightness of your light
I'll take all of you, if it all seems right
I want your fire and rain
Want the moments of doubt and pain
Want the part of you that's insane
I want your secret shadow side
I want the truths you try to hide
I want to see what lies beneath
I want to know your darkest needs
I want the color of your skin
To flush with red when I walk in
I want you unadorned and bare
I want the breeze that moves your hair
I want the light that's in your eyes
I want the truth in all your lies
I want the voices that you hear
Be the only whisper in your ear
I want to be the one you miss
Times of sorrow times of bliss
Be the only one you see
All your love
It goes to me

Burning

So we passed the time around
And it burned, and instead of slowing down
It sped up
Now it's nowhere to be found
So we fooled and fucked around
In our tiny ways, in our tiny place, in our tiny summer
'Fore everything turned around
Now my smile's turned upside down
Cause I find it hard to comprehend how the bitter end
So swiftly came around
But now I hear the sound
Of her rainbow voice
And though I have no choice
I shudder and say, I'm glad it's over now
'Cause in my mourning days I found
That though I loved her in a masochistic way
In the end all she did was cause me pain
Now my face turns up again
At the sight of you
So familiar and yet so new

The Mind Cage
05:54
|

|
Can't see in the sun
I can't see at night
The way I see
Nothing's black and white
Hard to tell
Who's wrong or right
So I just try to stay
Out of sight
And I don't know how it looks through your eyes
And I can't feel how you feel inside
And it's so strange, the state we're in
Smart enough to know that we cannot win
Still silence threatens
I can't hear in the din
The zombies are coming
And they're wearing our skins
It's coming too fast
So brace for the fall
The mind gets bigger but the cage grows too small
And I don't know how it looks through your eyes
And I can't feel how you feel inside
And it's so strange, the state we're in
Always on the outside, looking in

You'd better fix your eyes, don't tell me it's all black and white
Don't tell me you don't sacrifice, don't tell me you know right from wrong
You'd better fix your ways, all those deceptions, little games you play
So much riding on that lovely face, but you don't know how much you take away
Well your head is strong and your sight is weak
I see a very long line of desperate men
Who keep coming to your door cause you shoot them the eyes
But then they get there and they find that they're not let inside
And if the night goes on, then I'll sleep all day
Under covers in the darkness I will hide my face
Put a smile on when it's time to go
And I'll be back to see you soon
You'd better fix your face, to reflect the way you don't hesitate
To lie and cheat and manipulate
And you don't see the mistakes
With your good looks and your sweet charm, you turn men into crooks, liars, and cons
And you're the prettiest thing that I've ever seen
Well your head is strong and your sight is weak
I see a very long line of desperate men
Who keep coming to your door cause you shoot them the eyes
But then they get there and they find that they're not let inside
And if I think too hard
Then it ruins my day
Cause my head and heart still ache from that beating you gave
And I feel it coming on, right about now
Let's go down in spirals, I will show you how
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
I see you standing there, who don't you step into the night
I see your hair it starts to burn
As you step into the light
And now the time has come
To crystallize your fears
I see you found a way
A winding path on which to go
Something to take away from the conflict that's inside of your soul
But you chose the wrong way son
And now your time has come
I see you hanging there
A far cry from what you were
Your mind and body have been broken, beaten, scarred, and tortured
But I just stare and smile, 'cause you're my id engager
