quiet (lights)
I'm not yours, and you're not mine
but we can sit and pass the time
no fighting wars, no ringing chimes
we're just feeling fine
this is where we're supposed to be
sitting by a broken tree
no tragedy, no poetry
just staring at the sky
I could wait a thousand hours
stay the same in sun and showers
pick apart a hundred flowers
just to be quiet
tell me when you'll feel ready
I'm the one,
there's not too many
hold my hand to keep me steady
just to be quiet
with you, with you
I like it here, beside you dear
you're even more than you appear
and in the clouds my head is clear
every time you say hello
Here's my heart and here's my mouth
and I can't help if things come out
'cause there are words I want to shout
but maybe I'll stay low
I could wait a thousand hours
stay the same in sun and showers
pick apart a hundred flowers
just to be quiet
tell me when you'll feel ready
I'm the one, there's not too many
hold my hand to keep me steady
just to be quiet
I could wait a thousand hours
stay the same in sun and showers
pick apart a hundred flowers
just to be quiet
tell me when you'll feel ready
I'm the one, there's not too many
hold my hand to keep me steady
just to be quiet
with you, with you, with you, with you
I'm not yours, and you're not mine
but we can sit and pass the time.

ephedrine
Looking at myself in the mirror
I'm a reprobate
disgusting, cold, mutilated
Sure, I've made some bad mistakes
but do I deserve this?
It's midnight
I've wasted another day
You can call me what you want
I stand on my own two feet
a free radical motherfucker
for the whole world to see
Do you see me
cackling through red lights
stabbing at my veins
sinning and swearing
through your streets tonight?
Holding out my hands for
more, more, more?
Do you know the score?
I don't care
I've never won anything in my life
I am a religion of self
I'm in a constant state of worship
I'm free
as long as I exist
as long as this
medicine is roaring
through my veins
All of my gods are dying
all of my teeth are showing
I keep thinking
this is the end
but tomorrow it begins again
Let me dance my strange dance
let me breathe this disappearing air
There was a time
when you let me do as I pleased
but now I know too much
now I'm tied down
now I'm fused with rust
to this broken machine
That which once made me burn
now sends shivers through my core
So I've gained a brand new lust
Stand back
and watch it consume me
Stand clear
while this house comes down.
