I can not stand to hear
you speak in your soft tones
i can not stand
to be alone right now

i can not stand to hear
your lies roll off like silk
into the waiting hearts
of the masses

and when i die
am i trapped
can i never leave
stuck in a box
living out my nightmares

and if i live
do i stay
do i go away
stuck underground
with no more help


and when i pray to god
and i hear nothing
do i stand by and watch
and wait for you to die

and when i have to die
and i see nothing
do i stand by and watch
and wait for the ending

i sit alone
in the dark
by the candlelight
with no more help
on the way here at home

i died alone
in the dark
by the candlelight
when it runs out
do i

i sleep alone
in the dark
by my lonely self
wasting away
living out
my nightmares

i die alone
die alone
in the dark
without you
i die alone
are you
there without me


and when i pray to god
and i hear nothing
do i stand by and watch
and wait for you to die

and when i have to die
and i see nothing
do i stand by and watch
and wait for the ending

needle bitch

I just want to know
why no one came
to the rescue
i just want to stare

into the abyss
after you
i just want to
i just want to know

hey little brother
hum me the song
the angels sang
as you passed along

hey little brother
tell me a story
one that's soft and
not too long

hey little brother
i'm so sorry
i let you down
i let you down

hey little brother
i'm so sorry
i let you down
i let you down

gone too far now
gone too far now
gone too far now
gone too far now


gone too far now
gone too far now
gone too far now
gone too far now

ruby

when i called after a
rose with no thorns
there lies one right by your head
so far away

falling apart in better 
times i came to see
only pictures by your bed
left there for me


when i came to on my 
knees with no hate
praying softly in the night
with no relief

listen close as i tell
you my hands are still tied
barely breathing i went
back to where it lies


when i called after a
life with no shame
i came back to where i was
on that old day

windows cracking with the weight
of men yet unseen
asking after what it 
does inside a heart

when i came to on my back
with no name
there was only rafters left
in the debris

of the house in the northeast
or northwest of here
where i used to lay my head
without a plan


thorns

the little things 
in the way we mention
time apart
through a veil darkly

there's no such thing
in the churning engine
that i read
end to end per day


can you feel me
clawing a hole for myself there
at the base
of the
tree from whence the waters of life
flowed free only
at a price


and in the day
when we feel it matters
it began
to go to their head

heaven exists
to separate this love
when in death
choices become clear


can you feel me
clawing a hole for myself there
at the base
of the
tree from whence the waters of life
flowed free only
at a price

baker act

what if i fell so hard
among the picture perfect stars
would you laugh at me
like it was brand new

and if i went back home
with my head hung in shame
would you remember it
as it was today

and if i stared at you
like a deer in the head lights
would you laugh at me
like you already knew

and if i died inside
cause i know that you're right
i tend to dream away
every single thought today
(but i can't give up today)

and i still
i still love you
and i still
i still love you
and i still
i still love you today
and i still
i still love you


and if i fell apart
like a slowly falling star
would you be there for me
like when i was young

and if i stopped today
would i be in the way
if i was there for you
would it work on me too

and if i was alone
with my little heart of stone
and if i was afraid
of what i might have done

what if i was a friend
in the darkest of times
would you remember me
as i was today


and i still
i still love you
and i still
i still love you
and i still
i still love you today
and i still
i still love you

i still


in my lifetime heaven can wait 
embers are falling 
as it all crumbles down 

in my lifetime 
heaven can wait
the stars are crying 
as the earth fades to black 

in my lifetime 
heaven can wait
fires descending 
through the cracks in the sky 


if i gave it all up 
would you watch it all burn 
back to ashes and dust 
broken glasses and soot
 
if i gave it all up 
would you be there with me 
at the ends of the earth 
where the light goes to hurt 

if i gave it all up 
could you please bear with me 
as i go to pieces 
in the tornado's eye 

in my lifetime 
heaven can wait
embers are falling 
as it all crumbles down 

in my lifetime 
heaven can wait 
the stars are crying 
as the earth fades to black 
in my lifetime 
heaven can wait
fires descending 
through the cracks in the sky

wait

will you be waiting
when i come home
will you be waiting
here

wandering away
into the dark
Lost alone on a
Broken skyline

will you be waiting
when i come home
will you be watching
me

walking away
into the dark
Left alone on a
Rainy sunday


and when im alone
without you in a
pane of broken glass
i can't hurt
i can't feel

and if i so happen to die
i will remember
i won't forget

and when im alone
without you in my
house of razorblades
i can't hurt
i can't feel

and if i so happen to die
i will remember
don't forget me

what if i'm gone
when you get home
would you look for
me

What if i didn't
Want to leave you
out on your own
please forgive me

What if i stayed
When you left home
and moved so far
away

harvest moons and 
southern seasons
broken hearts and
dead end lives


and when im alone
without you in a
bed of broken glass
i can't hurt
i can't feel

and if i so happen to die
i will remember
i won't forget

and when im alone
without you in my
house of leaves and glass
i can't hurt
i can't feel

and if i so happen to die
i will remember
don't forget me

and when im alone
without you in a
pane of broken glass
i can't hurt
i can't feel

and if i so happen to die
i will remember
i won't forget

and when im alone
without you in my
house of leaves and glass
i can't hurt
i can't feel

and if i so happen to die
i will remember
don't forget me

throwing stones


i'm crawling through a nightmare 
watching in others eyes 
when i wake i see no end 
when i wake i fall apart 

when i feel i'm growing cold 
when i feel i'm at the ending 
i can't be bothered by this 
i can't begin to start 

when i read you a story 
i feel the fraying edge 
my fears and my hopes all are a 
life cut short 


go to sleep 
go to sleep 
little flower 
little flower 

go to sleep 
go to sleep 
little flower 
little flower 

bear the scars scratched on the walls 
by something in the night 
little monsters follow me 
haunting my every step 

in the dark i'm all alone 
it keeps me safe from brighter days 
in a grave full of my thoughts 
turning like a well of souls 

i hope when you read this letter 
it finds you loaded with rocks 
there's no way back when i find my 
life cut short

flower


i can't remember when i cried 
when i heard your song on the radio 
the only time we see a bible 
is when they're going in the ground 


so plan ahead 
so plan your life 
please plan ahead 
please plan your life 
we are all dead 
manage your life 
please plan ahead 
please plan your life 

so plan ahead 
so plan your life 
please plan ahead 
please plan your life 
we are all dead 
manage your life 
please plan ahead 
please plan your life 


this is the way my world ends 
with a bang and a whisper 
in the dark 
at the place where the cross hatched lines 
turned to ash in the morning rays 


so plan ahead 
so plan your life 
please plan ahead 
please plan your life 
we are all dead 
manage your life 
please plan ahead 
please plan your life 

so plan ahead 
so plan your life 
please plan ahead 
please plan your life 
we are all dead 
manage your life 
please plan ahead 
please plan your life
