I am a thing. 
There are pieces of me everywhere. 

You still sting, 
like a bite on the back of my knee I can sometimes see. 

I am a thing. 
There are pieces of me everywhere. 

We still sting, 
and when I do see you, I only stare. 

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go 

And you know it’s true: 
all the places you are right now, 
I wish I were too, 

but you wished me away. 
yeah, you wished me away. 

I am a thing. 
There are pieces of me everywhere.

I am a Thing

These are the words, these are the words 
These are the words and how we say them 

The words, the words, the words you said 
The words, the words, the words I said 

I’m trying not to repeat 

The words, the words, words you said 
The words, the words, the words I said 

The words and how we say them

These are the Words

everybody out this evening 
is loaded for banter, fighting for nothing, I 
bury my handshakes in my pockets, then 
squeeze this thing to disguise my shaking 
hands, no 

don’t believe the pretty sounds 
I don’t believe the pretty sounds 

you might be here, it’s hard to know you 
might be outside, pretending to smoke; how 
do I tell you what I need: a monster 
on a keychain who will come to size 

- for me 
and nail me to the floor 

- just for me 
nail me to the floor, no - 

don’t believe the pretty sounds 
I don’t believe the pretty sounds 
don’t believe the pretty sounds 
I don’t believe them

Pretty Sounds

Walking tall, dressed right 
Stepping in to the heart of the night 

In the shadows  
Take off your ring 

In the shadows   
Let your blood sing  

In the shadows 
Feel my breath swell 

In the shadows   
Let my kiss tell 

In the shadows, in the shadows 

In the shadows 
We learned this song 

In the shadows 
Where we belong

In the Shadows

I know this girl 
she’s got a real long look 

She keeps me 
she keeps me wondering 

The stories she tells 
are never true but you 

and everyone and even I 
don’t care 

that woman’s got a way 
that woman’s got a way 
that woman’s got a way 
with everything 

this is my song for you 
don’t ask me to sing it

Acid-Eaten Sweetheart

Lights out tonight 
The century’s gone dark 
They’ve boarded up the entrance 
To Millennium park 
There’s nothing left to burn 
Nothing that will spark 

Lights… Lights out tonight 

Put on your blindfold 
Make it easier to see 
 Together through the ruins 
That’s where I want to be   
Sleeping in your arms 
Wrecked by history   

Lights… Lights out tonight 

Waltzing in the outlines 
Of a thousand chalk marks 
The sound of your breathing 
My last landmark

Our Dark Century

Half past midnight and both headlights gone dead 
But I’m driving 
But I'm driving anyway 

This road isn’t dark enough for me 
This road isn't dark enough for me 

This road that leads me to you

This Road

All these years and all those miles 
I’m too long out of style 
Just an iron lung 
Trying to sing the mother tongue 
Trying to sing 
Lithuania 

I forget how it’s said   
The language is dead   
I’m the ghost of someone else   
Someone who’s forgotten 
Lithuania 
  
Single file 
Single file 
Home is the new exile 

Come back in September  
When I stoke the embers 
My memories are better  
According to the weather 
Come back, come back 
Lithuania

Lithuania

in the quietest blooming 
of the blackest buds   

in the cresting waters   
of the tidal floods 

in the guttering shriek   
of the dying hawk   

in the vanishing landscape 
of the painted rocks 

I feel I’m becoming 
Something new    

between the blazing candle 
and the circling moth   

there’s a love that’s shared 
and a love that’s lost 

between the sharpest razor 
and the slenderest wrist 

there’s a pang of pain 
and a pang of bliss 

I feel I’m becoming 
Something new

Silent Spring

I’ve been nothing all night 
Why should that change? 
I don’t have enough looks 
To rearrange  

To suit your needs 
Whatever those are   
To meet my price 
To slow your car 

Drive away 

I stole these eyes  
To watch my life 
 To turn your head 
 To miss this knife 

Edge of something 
I can’t explain 
You tell yourself 
It must be pain 

Drive away 

I need more 
than you have 
For less 
Than you want
