A Letter to Stravinsky

I see you walking around late at night
I see you, I see you, walking around.
I see you tearing yourself up inside
I feel you, I feel you, crying inside.

Sweeter Song

Mother sing a sweeter song.
Where have all your children gone?
Look at all the little girls...
Cut the smiles and baby curls...
Ooooooo.
Sing to me say that you really love me.
Sing to me say that your really do.
Sing to me say that you really love me.
Sing to me say that you really do.
Mother sing a sweeter song.
Where have all your children gone?
Look at all the little girls...
Cut the smiles and baby girls

Night Muse

A friend to the dark,
But more to the silence that's found in the blanket of the night.
She whispers and coos a bending tune
That keeps you from your slumbers.
Rise for me dance let your limbs unhinge,
And sway despite your fright,
In the things unknown and the silence
That seeps and grows in the night as we sleep.
One hand, two hands shake to the sky
And your lids flick open to menacing eyes
With a half-cracked smile and a drum in your head
You got plans with this ghost before you're dead
Sing for me scream till your breath's all gone
And your mind's a ticking into sweet oblivion
The clock doesn't stop when you look in the mirror
So you rise in the night as your fate's getting nearer
You keep doing this dance in a frenzied state
For the fear of the stillness and the silence of the grave.
A friend to the dark,
But more to the silence that's found in the blanket of the night
She whispers and coos a bending tune that,
helps you stay
That
helps you stay
That
helps you stay
Awake.

Lucky One
04:25
|

|
Riddle me this to my sour grave
Love me up love me down with no face
Rode with no training wheels twice today
Hit the ground pebbles first... in my eye
Your the lucky one
Mama said... mama said

Part Your Lips
04:32
|
|||
|
Say what you mean the first time
As you part your lips.
Say what you mean...but be kind
Words don't mean a thing.
Speak with heart and you'll be fine
Love with your soul and you'll be mine
Be mine
I don't know where time has gone.
I don't know where we will go.
Stay here and just breathe with me.
There's nothing left to see.
Just to feel the world again
Like a child and count to ten.
No remebering the past
Now's the spark and sparks don't last.
Say what you mean the first time
As you part lips.
Say what you mean but be kind...
Words don't mean a thing.
Words don't mean a thing...
To me..

Speaking in Tongues
02:51
|

You were out in the rain
Raindrops falling on your brain
They all called you insane
All the fishes in the sea
They could swim but could not sing
All the fishes in the sea
They could swim but could not sing
You were speaking in tongues
And it was all in your head
They all thought you were dead
All the fishes in the sea
They could swim but could not see
All the fishes in the sea
They could swim but could not see
You had holes in you heart
Dug so deep they would not part
They only cut to start
All the fishes in the sea
They could swim but could not sing
All the fishes in the sea
They could swim but could not sing
You were just getting by
Not any light in your eye
They all knew you would die
All the fishes in the sea
They could swim but could not see
All the fishes in the sea
They could swim but could not see

Windowsill
06:11

Sitting there with nothing on.
You're face was sick and I was worn.
I met you in the windowsill.
Past is past and now we're here.

The Sea
04:56
|
|||
|
I couldn't see straight
and I couldn't think twice
As your lips formed the sound into words...
You strung them along on a string of pretty things...
That you sang and bellowed from the bottom
of the Sea.
