Out in the city
where the poor souls sleep
we’ve been building an army
fighting.

You disappear in the sunlight
like dust on wind
I only hear you late at night
like a sad violin.

I took a picture of you and put it over my bed,
but you’ve been dead.
A living picture of you is hanging over my bed,
but you’ve been dead.

Back in the city
in a box full of soul
I’ve been looking of pety
under blankets, upon blankets
of snow.

Think of me as  a place
you would go to rest
covered in cob webs
in a rotting chest.

Above the Bed

Last night I couldn’t fall asleep
thoughts of you were haunting me.
I didn’t think that you’d remember me at all
I am so small…
so small.

So I just lay there and whispered to the sheets
” Im so tired you hear, I can’t go to sleep”
And Im a modest mouse stuck between two walls
but no one calls…
no one calls.

So I give up, I give up you hear?
One thing I am good at is a disappear.
You don’t know me, you don’t know me and you don’t wanna know
Im just too small…
Im just too small.

You don’t know me
you don’t know me and you don’t wanna know
You don’t know me
you don’t know me and you don’t wanna know
so I give up, I give up you hear?

Let Me Count the Ways

She comes crying in the morning
Lays down next to me
Tells me she's afraid that the walls are closing in
Look at the mess we're in

He lives above the secretary
Yeah, I know he eats it, too
When the village all passed him by
How his spirit was so confused

He was picking off that first layer
Like that first time you met me
Like I was dancing with a spider
When the walls come down
I'm still gonna climb up another day just to meet you
Another day to greet you

Let's be neatly insane and
Come and go without plans
On a day without rain
When we're closed for repairs but

I didn't come back for this
Decomposing valley in your veins and
A view with you no longer there

How can I compare thee to anything else on earth?
You were so ghostly white
As white as a can of Miller Lite

Off to sea
The other side of me
Punching waves black and white
With all of my might

The new newness
Feels so far away
The classrooms and the dull gray skies
The sleepy bore of the old school days and
Time that never flies

She's from the city
Beyond the typical lights
Not the half-go color
Not a model employee
Not lightning hitting the tower

Sometimes she just wants to put her head right through a brick wall
To let you know where she's coming from
To let you know she's heading for a fall

She's from the city
Beyond the typical lights
Not the half-go color

Not a model employee or
Lightning speaking from the fire or
Lightning sparking from the tower or
Lightning speaking like the devil

Not Lightning Speaking Like The Devil
