There are times when I don't know what to say 
Letting words drift violently away 
There are times when I look into your eyes 
As black lightning bolts trickle down your thighs 

I don't know how far you are up north 
But I know you'll disappear if I don't step forth 
I can see through the soul of your city from an airplane 
I just wonder if i'll see you again 

Now you're holding my stiffness in the dark of the cold 
Letting your neon smile lighten up the snow 
The faces passing by reassure the symphony 
But I just don't know if I can pull you in close enough to me 

We were up until the morning struck us down, getting lost in conversation 
Swimming through literature for two months straight, until you lost your patience 
Leaving my troubled mind to traipse aimlessly, out of the fear 
That you are losing me to your heart, dear 

You know what I think about when we talk about it 
But I don't know if you'll shout when we talk about it 
You're standing so far away when we talk about that 
You know we don't have to say if you don't want to talk about that 

I wonder how close we can move when we talk about it 
I can still circle around you when we talk about that 
I'll be up the entire night if you want to talk about it 
You say you won't, but you just might need to talk about that 

It's not that hard 

And it's not too late 

You know what I think about when we talk about it 
But I don't know if you'll shout when we talk about it 
You're standing so far away when we talk about that 
You know we don't have to say if you don't want to talk about that 

I wonder how close we can move when we talk about it 
I can still circle around you when we talk about that 
I'll be up the entire night out of the fear 
That you are losing me to your heart, dear

Some People - EP

When We Talk (Electric Piano Version)

Are you still waiting in the snow? 
Holding on tightly to what you should know? 
The final piece falls into place 
When there's nobody around, it's no longer a race 

I'm still waiting for your love 
Hiding in your shadow until the dawn 
If I find a way out of this maze 
Then be still, dear, i'm coming your way 

Am I wasting all of your precious time? 
Do you have anywhere to go tonight? 
You're slowly burning out my soul 
Spirits flying in from the unknown 

They don't know how to dance anymore 
They don't make love like they use to before 
The final piece falls into place 
Just hold on, dear, i'm coming your way 

Before your beautiful face is drawn away into the flames 

Do you want to just get up on stage and dance? 
Do you want to just get up on stage and dance? 
Do you want to just get up on stage and dance? 
Do you want to just get up on stage and dance? 

My ears are bleeding 
My ears are bleeding 

(Let's call it a night...)

Shadowdancers (Acoustic Version)

I was up late last night, wondering about who I am 
It never seemed so far 
I walked outside this morning holding a gun and a locket 
Rusted and shaped like a heart 

I never noticed the way the clouds move in unison 
As you tease the sky 
I never thought much of it until I noticed the ground 
Falling out from everyone in line 

I made it home late last night, the rain was my only friend 
As it washed away 
Everyone that I knew and loved, for better or for worse 
Yet, you still remain 

And I will wait for you at the station, holding a pistol and a postcard 
As the sun grows cold 
So kiss me goodnight and embrace me with 2000000 limbs 
Before I start to grow too old 

Give me your love 
Give me your love 
Give me your love 
Give me your love 
Give me your love

Surrounded By Demons (Lost Cuts Vol. 1)

Give Me Your Love

Meet me by my doorstep and take off your coat 
I know it's still winter, but summer shouldn't come 
Honey, yes, it's true, you've found someone to hold 
But still, I hold onto everything about you I love 

Open up your lips, dear, you haven't talked in weeks 
I've been feeding off your silence so long, it makes me weep 
When everybody wants to light your cigarette 
I wish you would come down now and pull me out of bed 

"Nothing is the end of the world" you said... 
"Nothing is the end of the world" you said... 

I'll throw away emotion to have you in my grasp 
Staying up all night for days, just pulling out the past 
When I drive uptown, I wonder where you'll be 
When everybody loves you, I wish that you loved me

Fitzgerald

Maria, where do you think you're going so fast?
I never meant to annoy you or cause you stress
You're dancing on the pieces scattered everywhere
We face each other like nobody else is there

Because we're paralyzed, under the moon I saw you standing
On a stormy night, watching the windows melt
From the inside out and to the moon and back
You leave me paralyzed with every word you say

Maria, winter's coming around far too soon
A perfect time for us to hide in our cocoon
Is there a sweater you haven't let me worn?
It's not a shadow I've seen since I was born

It doesn't mean that much at all
But it's in overdrive and spinning out of control
I can't believe it, I... I thought I would die on the way back down
But still, every night, I see myself crawling on back to you

Maria, smother me with your voluptuous ass
And let me rest my head against your chest

This isn't everything it could be
But it's a sobriquet, I can't quite put my finger on it
It's like a cigarette slowly crumbling to ashes
This isn't over yet, I will pull you back to me

Ohhh...

"So long, Maria. Everything you gave me is still here, waiting to be taken back, or to disappear again..."

COME BACK

You mean the world to me
You mean the world to me, my darling
You mean the world to me, my baby
You mean the world to me...

Somebody Screaming

Maria (White Bloodwolf in Winter)

I'm still waiting for the sun 
To rise up above Suicide Hill
Because you're so out there
You're so out there...

It starts with the spring and ends with the summer
Fading into fall on through winter
The seasons have changed and so have our opinions
Falling to your arms was one tough decision

So out there, I can barely even reach you
So out there, is it even worth the try to...

Drive through the city for what you cannot implore?
Out of eighteen spotlights, I got four
And I know that he's better than me, beause I'm just a kid
Following my dreams until they die in my hands

Because you're so out there, I can barely even reach you
So out there, is it even worth the try to...
(Haa-aaa-ooo) Take a drive into the city?
(Haa-aaa-ooo) With your fingers, you can touch me

Because you're so out there, I can barely even reach you
So out there, is it even worth the try to...
(Haa-aaa-ooo) Take a drive into the city?
(Haa-aaa-ooo) With your fingers, you can touch me

I open my umbrella and the wind lifts me up
As it guides me back home, I can see you on the bus
I wish that I could see what our futures holds for our blase
I cannot change and I can't force you to stay the same

So I'll give myself to the sun and die

The sun will die, the sun will rise
So I'll give myself to the sun and die
Don't say goodbye, the sun will rise
I won't give myself to the son of life

The waters rise, there isn't a light
Maybe one day, we'll see the sun and die
The lovers and lies, the ones we survived
Maybe one day, we'll see the sun rise

Out There

Kirkland lays the cities near to rest
The rainchecks they file to baigne
I'll grab my jacket and be on my way

The campus dark as the streetlights coalesced
The lines they stay in to wait
Just staring as the sky turns grey

There's always the dusk before it gets dark at night
There's always one thing to do before you die
Just like the rain beating down on the pavement

Do not touch me; I will crush you
Do not love me; I'll malfunction

(Do not touch me; I will crush you)
I cannot even stand the sound of their laughter on my berceuse
(Do not love me; I'll malfunction)
I need release

There's always the dusk before it gets dark at night
Of all the things to say before a goodbye
I just want to go home

Do not touch me; I will crush you
Do not love me; I'll malfunction
Do not touch me; I will crush you
I just want to go home...

Sketches for Somebody Screaming

Kirkland

Everything has changed since the fall
Ascend into the sky in a sprawl
The stitches in your lips become a swan song
Your limbs have grown furlong

Forget everything if it's not lie
A fog is digging out of the white
A silhouette once transpired in thorns
I still remember it from before I was born

Four inches of smoke and another four
For consequences; are you alone?

Forget all the things that make you run
Spring is coming soon after it's begun
The winter winds still blow weak
The neighborhood streetlights still grow darker

Like spirits rising out of the water

Four inches of smoke and another four
For consequences; are you alone?
Can you still see the no one?

Are you still kissing the gun?

Goodbye.

Teenage Poetry (Lost Cuts Vol. 4)

Limbs

Leavenworth

Before they come out of the dark
Before I'm done driving for the night
The tears that fall behind you precipitate
The fears that have always been haunting you
Since you were a child
Will become your friends

If it's something I can tell you, you'll be told
Regardless of the consequences that may follow
Behind these shattered faces lies a hurt
It's been there all their lives
And it will never go away
For all time

Now if I've disappointed you at all
Then I'm sorry; it's hard enough to disconnect from
The wisps within the willows, withering away
The whistling reeds in their voices
Calling my name out
"Come back to me, my child"
