i knew

Starfire
We'll call it Starfire, who will know?
I want a station of my own
I have the tools
I have my rules
I'll load the back and you can drive
Broken bodies all the time
Let's take a ride
Starfire tonight
Ten thousand miles away
away
La la la la la la la la...

Two-Step
And the light, it burns your skin
In a language you don't understand
It's not that hard
It is not that hard
That's not all
Voices small
Heed them either way they call
Two-step around the room
Kneel down on white
Two-step around the room
Kneel down on white
Two-step around the room
You can kneel down on white
Two-step around the room
You can kneel down on white
That's not all
Voices small
Heed them either way they call
And the light, it burns your skin
In a language you don't understand

Weight of Water
take a cupful from your hand
wait for forty days
make a river through the sand
til you're called by a secret name
and the weight of the water has brought me back to this
just leave me to the river
let it cleanse my face
i have no power to ward it
like the baptism of the earth
and the weight of the water has brought me back to this
and the step where you stood
as i bleed from the wound
how i cower to that weight
still i'll make this water home

Missouri
oh, speak to me adam and eve
oh, missouri
oh, missouri
you wanted it back, faces painted black
oh, missouri
oh, missouri
what did you get for your dishes and sweat?
oh, missouri
oh, missouri
oh, missouri
oh, missouri
oh, speak to me adam and eve
oh, missouri
oh, missouri
oh, missouri
oh, missouri
oh, missouri

Don't Understand
carry the weight
and wait at the last
bloodied my leg
and buried my fist
i don't understand
i don't understand
i send it away
now it's back in my breast
and drag you to town
treat you just like a son
alone in my house
did they teach you to run?
i don't understand
i don't understand
i don't understand
i don't understand
i don't understand
i don't understand
i don't understand
-
Soon
soon it will be over
i laughed under my breath over your shoulder
there's a message out tonight
nobody's looking at the sky
soon it will be over
i laughed under my breath over your shoulder
you think that i don't know your name
and now your face is all in flames
you think that i don't know your name
and now i'll stand there all amazed

Immune
Tell me is the time as slow
only when your eyes are closed?
Do we stand to waste some more?
am I still immune?
am I naked too?
Does it taste like home
only when your eyes are closed?
Have you been away too long?
am I still immune?
am I naked too?
am I naked too?
Tell me is the time as slow
only when your eyes are closed?
Is the point to stay too long?
am I still immune?
am I naked too?
am I naked too?
feels like being used

Lion/Lamb
Don't go without, we'd surely die
To go without is suicide
Are you a lion or a lamb?
Are you as guilty as I am?
Ooooooo......
Are you a lion or a lamb?
Are you as guilty as I am?
Ooooooo....
-
Days Of....
it was one of those days
of salvation and loss
just one of those days
when you weight for the worst
first they hold you for a ransom
then they buy you for a song
just one of those days
when you laugh at what you've done
how they ripped you from the pages
oh you waited for the best......
it was one of those days
of salvation and loss
-
Will the Night
will the night last forever?
stay by my side
'cause tonight, together
would be divine
but once it's gone
your face to hide
against the sun
the moon
am I on the other side
so blind
so long
goodbye
goodnight
-
Home
home, everybody wants to go home
even when they're old
even when they're small
home, everybody wants to go home
even when they're old
even when they're small
home
home
home
home

Old Man Song
once he was up in a plane
saw the world as it was
only to come down again
only to come down again
ooh..
left to his own accord
he would sit up all night
nothing from anyone else
nothing from anyone else
ooh..
clothes that hang on his frame
now he could go either way
marvels at what he believes
marvels at what he can see
ooh..
-
Last Breath
i held your last breath in my hand.
i held your last word in my heart.
without the recourse,
without the liable,
without your reasons,
what more do i know?
i held your last breath in my hand.
i held your last word in my heart.
i held your last hope in my mouth.
i held your last trust in my heart.
heart.. heart..
