Written for Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode) :: Monk of New Orleans

You got a reason to hate - gave you a reason
You got a reason to hate me
Another season to shame - terrible season
Another season to shame me
An act of treason to change - beautiful treason
An act of treason to change me

This road is dark and narrow
Keep dodging broken arrows
I should be so scared for my life...

But I’m broken inside
So broken inside
One Day I tried
To let it all out and cry
But that river runs dry
cause I’m really broken inside

When there’s a shift of the blame - the blame is shifting
You’ll find it’s easy to blame me
The time will come to defy - the time is coming
and that defiance defines me
A time to live and to die - but, life is dying
Another reason for living

The road is dark and narrow
Keep dodging broken arrows
I should be so afraid this time...

But I’m broken inside
So broken inside
One Day I tried
To let it all out and cry
But that river runs dry
Cause I’m really broken inside

Keep shooting broken arrows - I grin and play the piano
Send snakes and poison wine
Won’t care and I aint’ gonna cry
 
Cause I’m broken inside
So broken inside
One Day I tried
To let it all out and cry
But that river runs dry
Cause I’m really broken inside

Peppermint Park :: Broken Inside

Serpent and the Whale

A back pocket full of ideas
and warm cabin full of plans
This empty bottle of experiences says
i’m gonna be your man

A half tank left of memories
Exhaust is spewing out regrets
Our course is plotted for a destiny...that hasn't given up yet

But I’ll never be lost out at sea
If no-one is waiting for me
And I’ll never be too tired to sail
Just like my friends, the serpent and the whale
 
Promises stretch out the mainsail
Compass is pointing north of hell
Hanging the jib under the stars you set
Until the night they fell

But I’ll never be lost out at sea
If no-one is waiting for me
And I’ll never be too tired to sail
Just like my friends, the serpent and the whale

Swallowing fears that I’ll be alone
only this rum to keep me warm
Counting the years of a destiny
that doesn’t want to know
I still don’t know the way home

But I’ll never be lost out at sea
If no-one is waiting for me
And I’ll never be too tired to sail
Just like my friends, the serpent and the whale

I’ll never be lost out at sea
If no-one is waiting for me
And I’ll never be too tired to sail
Just like my friends, the serpent and the whale

I’ll never be lost out at sea
If no-one is waiting for me
And I’ll never be too tired to sail
Just like my friends, the serpent and the whale

Peppermint Park :: Serpent and the Whale

Women seem to use sex to get what they want - and employ
Even though sometimes all they want…is to destroy
I don’t know what else I can do for you
I don’t know what else I can do
I don’t know what else I can do for you

It always seems to be the one that you love the most - from the start
that proves in the end the most lethal threat to your heart 
I don’t know what else I can do for you
I don’t know what else I can do
I don’t know what else I can do for you

But I thought it was you and me against the world
while blindly
It was really just you and me against the world…against me

People who can’t learn from mistakes stuck in a loop - of time
While history may not always repeat, it often rhymes
I don’t know what else I can do for you
I don’t know what else I can do
I don’t know what else I can do for you

 But I thought it was you and me against the world
while secretly
It was really just you and me against the world…against me

And the worst part, sweetheart
Not really knowing the girl in your wedding gown
All I wanted, haunted
Why can’t I hold you without holding you down

Yeah I thought it was you and me against the world
so cruelly
It was really just you and me against the world…against me

Peppermint Park :: You And Me Against The World, Against Me

Lies keep us alive
Lock us in sync
While we’re drifting
drifting out of phase 

The night, long in the tooth
Pour another vermouth
Hide it baby
Hide it from the pain
This heart at the end of the maze

And you’ll see that love equals pain
Losing someone hurts that's the game 
Yeah money can’t buy their love
But baby it rents the next best thing…
Love changes you
Ancient to new

In time, yeah, we’re gonna see
Which one it will be
Joined infinitely
Or divorced from reality

I - I know how to get you to flee
Flip polarity
Neodymium forces
Push or pull us away 
Divided just the same

And you’ll learn that love equals pain
If losing someone hurts love’s to blame
Yeah money won’t buy their love
But baby it rents the next best thing…
love’s changing you
horse to glue

And you know that love equals pain
As much as ya love you’ll hurt the same
Yeah money don’t buy no love
and maybe the rent’s not worth the shame…
love changes you
changes them too

And you know that love equals pain
As much as ya love you’ll hurt the same
Yeah money don’t buy no love
and maybe the rent’s not worth the shame…
love changes you
changes them too

And you’ll learn that love equals pain
If losing someone hurts that's the game
Yeah money can’t buy their love
But baby it rents the next best thing…
love changes you
ancient to new

End of the Maze

Oh how I struggle to tell you
Can’t find the words to say
No language so mighty
Words can never convey

Empty space on paper
Cursor blinking on the screen
If our eyes are the windows 
Then you already know what I mean

Cause you are the only one
That knows me
Yeah you are the only one
That really knows me
And that’s all I need
Kinda Sweet

When the night falls quiet
Sometimes we’re lead into doubt
In the dark know I’m adoring you
That’s what our souls are all about

Maybe words aren’t the answer
And all we have is right now
And though I kinda hate promises
My heart is belting out this vow

That you are the only one
That knows me
Yeah you are the only one
That really knows me
And that’s all I need
Kinda Sweet

Cause you are the only one
Yeah you are the only one
Yeah you are the only one
You are the only one
Yeah you are the only one
That really knows me
And that’s all I need
Kinda Sweet

Kinda Sweet (Stranger Things Mix)

Keep me
At the edge of your daydream
Almost like a memory
Special pieces of mental - debris

Hide these
Little moments before we
Melt down and spoil like candy
Guess all I’m trying to say is

All at the same time, it feels like yesterday, a thousand years ago, a million miles away
I walked into a room of strangers and I recognized your soul…
And the parts we’d play

Pleasing
To my ears when you’re dreaming
No matter scary or silly
The movies in our head keep us - breathing

Believe
All you have you were needing
Discarded books are reading
Themselves in hope of understanding their meaning

All at the same time, it feels like yesterday, a thousand years ago, a million miles away
I walked into a room of strangers and I recognized my home…
And I promised my heart…I’d stay

All at the same time, it feels like yesterday, a thousand years ago, a million miles away
I walked into a room of strangers and I recognized your soul…
And the parts we’d play

Edge Of Your Daydream
