It's late afternoon and the day has been long
She throws her workload on the bed and then
she hums a little song
Showertime, comfy clothes and with nobody around
She turns her system up
She brightens up
Gets down to the sound

Boss was yelling
Boyfriend leaving 
Homework undone
Roof is leaking
Countries warring
Life is fleeting
Doesn't matter
She's still breathing

She don't care
She dances it all away 

Mom calls and asks what she's doing with her life
Here comes the worst conversation 
At the wrong kind of time
Same old guilt trip, same old insults
As she's being put down
She turns her system up
She hangs right up
Gets down to the sound 

"No career yet?
Be a lawyer!
Get your Master's
Work out harder
Find a husband
Make some babies
Are you hearing
what I'm saying?"

She don't care
She dances it all away

She Totally Cares

We Don't Sleep 
=====
Why would you ever think to say out loud
That you are anything but beautiful?
I've spent so much time in your presence, in your eyes
that I can practically see into your soul

I've heard all the words that you whisper to me
As you bury your face in my sleeve
You ask why I want you, "there are prettier girls"
But god, I'm finding it hard to believe

Look inside, you and I
We know where to go
What you want, what you need
Girl I told you so
Any time that you like
We can take it  slow
We'll be fine, you and I
Girl, I told you so 

Help me breathe
All this love for you has me in disbelief
If I see you smile, baby, time will freeze
Let's just make the most of all the days we seize
Even when they ain't so good 

My body feels older when I get out of work
And the hours crawl reluctantly
In the shower when the water beats against my back
It's good to know you're in the bedroom 
waiting for me 

Look inside, you and I
We know where to go
What you want, what you need
Girl I told you so
Any time that you like
We can take it  slow
We'll be fine, you and I
Girl, I told you so 

Try to see
Everything about you, girl, is heavenly
Even when we go to bed
We don't sleep
Let's just make the most of all the nights we seize
We know how to feel so good

I can feel everything
Because you're made for me
And when you move that way 
I don't know what to say 

We Don't Sleep

Complete Isolation

H
===
One of these days, 
gonna get free
gonna go
Anywhere she takes me
I don't need to know

But I can't wait for another life to feel
something as pure as this, the way she heals
I let her in
My....

In far away worlds, 
far away from my soul
Somewhere in time
I can see a man I don't know
I ask who he is
She tells me, "Let him go."
He screams my name
She kisses him away
She's here to stay
My...

In my kingdom of forgotten nights
The moon blacks out
Her touch my only light
Swept away on a sea of sweet release
She takes my arm a last time and I sigh
Is this goodbye?



Heroin¿

With The Lights Out
------------------
A daydream
A goddess
She walks among us to pass the time

A bright sun 
Upon us
A beacon of beauty
for mankind

She's got her own demons left to face
The universe can't contain her grace

In these stars
In these skies
The honor is only ever mine

And with the lights out 
you can hardly believe,
you can hardly behold her
and it's contagious
just how hard we can breathe
how far we can go

With the lights out
With the lights out 

A secret
So precious
The only kind she cares to keep

A father
rejected
He never deserved her company 

She wears her failures like a crown
She never lets the Man get her down

No time for a broken heart
Tears never got her far
God, what a work of art


With The Lights Out

Life After You 
-----
I can feel your anger
I can feel your body
I can feel your heartbreak
I can feel your rage

All the warning signs 
I couldn't wrap my mind around
Now we're at this place

And I stay up all night
Just trying to find 
a way to make this right
And I stay up all night
Just trying to think of 
a way to make this right
I'm trying to get to you 

I can feel a new day
I can feel beginnings
I can feel a heartbeat
I can feel a change

I stay up all night
Just trying to count
the ways I feel alright
With love out of my sight
I'm trying to count
the ways I feel alright

This is life after you

Life After You

One of my older songs and first experiment with electronic instruments. =)

The Killer

-------

You were hiding in the corners of wastelands
that nobody knew 
You were feasting on some delicate info
that nobody knew 

Look around you
All the table legs are wobbling under kings
who pound upon the surface
Drunk on wine
and all the townfolks' dreams

You know you did
You know you burned everybody
'Til there wasn't anybody to burn 

And in the end
Now that you've lost all your friends
How does it feel to be
ahead of the curve?

All of the lights go down
and you're left with the feeling
That nobody wants you around
All of the words that you wielded like daggers
are slitting your throat
And you can't pull them out

The Killer

Keep us in the dark if you want
We know everything we need to know
Unappreciated, unimportant souls
Ghosts of the forgotten
Can you hear us moan?

All we really need is a beat and a victory
To come, to see, to conquer and to make no apologies
What we really need is a
