"Sitting on a hanger in her closet"
My heart's on her sleeve. So last season...
My arms are legs, watch them run away from pleasin'.
I see stars in her eyes; universes...
and I feel as small in them as I know I am,
I've learned to hide my pain in plain sight.
Of course I'm sad, I've been alone for so long that I cry myslf to sleep at night.

sitting on a hanger in her closet

Lyrics:
I've got me a problem drinking till I'm passed out cold.
I'm looking for the bottom for my everlasting soul.
There's this feeling in my head I just can't seem to shake;
that I don't want or need anything and don't deserve it anyway.
So shut off the lights, deadbolt the door, 
I'll sleep outside on the cold desert floor.
Too weary to howl I cry at the moon wishing God would kill me soon.

I've got me a problem getting far too big to mask.
I could use some help but I'm too ashamed or proud to ask.
There's this feeling in my heart like it's always on the break,
loneliness is hollowing and there ain't much left of me to take.
Please turn on the light, open the door,
lay me down tonight if just a blanket on your floor.
I'm too broken to do anything but heal,
I need love now, not want, NEED love to be real.

Surrend (to be real)

Lyrics:
I've got concrete boot on both my feet,
two hands tied behind my back,
my mouth sewn shut so I can't speak,
this might be my final lap.

Say "How can it  can't get worse?!"
it can get worse...
Say "How can it can't get worse!?"
it just got worse...

Don't run from the rain.
Feel all your pain.
That's how you grow don't you know?
Boring makes neat, bitter makes sweet,
cold is the absence of heat.
Don't run from the rain,
feel all your pain,
that's how you grow don't you know.
Boring makes neat, bitter makes sweet,
cold is the absence of heat.

Cold Is The Absence Of Heat

"Defy Levity" 
Lyrics:
His mind starts to lean like a tower losing it's feet
and his darling whom he's held so close is under a bedsheet feeling like a ghost,
pretending to sleep until he leaves; nothing cures Stockholm like adultery.
He gets in his car, state of the art, it takes him to work, he's ready to burst.
Competitive pay, stock options, a 401k, the buildings grow taller, a leash for a collar, held by the almighty dollar. With all his dreams left for dead he stops feeling blue, starts seeing red.

My heart starts to sink like a sailor swallowed by a sea while my darling whom I've never held, is in someone's bedroom under their spell,
I can't get any sleep, miles to go promises to keep, tell me what good are wings without any sky? Gravity to defy?

DefyLevity

Lyrics:
So there's Lieutenant Sheffield, retired at sixty-five,
face down in his oatmeal, apparently he has died.
See me and him we go way back in fact I was his son.
He fucked my mom in Vietnam and I never saw him once.
...Oh'  what a day to show up.
I was so thankful that the front door was unlocked. 
I was so afraid of what I'd do and what I'd say that I have all my fingernails chewed off... even a tiny pistol hidden in my sock.
I said, life's been pretty bad dad. I sure do wish you were around some. Here I might have been accepted but I was an outcast in Vietnam. No no they didn't like me none.
I guess my poor mother's husband had found out from the hue of my skin or the color of my eyes. 
I was told he gave it to her later on that night, took both their lives and he left me behind for my punishment would be living my life.
So that's Lt. Sheffield...expired at 65, he did not have to know me to completely ruin my life. 
I died the day I was born and him at 65. 
Oh' Can a person ever get some piece of mind?"
,dan'

Lt. Sheffield

Lyrics:
Somewhere out there in the universe 
in the black born out of the blue
are hanging the stars yet to fall
and they're all relievedly wishing on you;
unbeholden, unworthy, blindly ravage the place you called home,
caretaker to parasite won't you leave that poor planet alone.
Mom I'm sorry Mom I'm sorry Mom I'm sorry Mom I'm sorry
Mom I'm sorry Mom I'm Sorry Mom I'm Sorry Mom I'm Sorry Mom.

Mother Nature (an Apollogy)

Lyrics: 
Don't put on your clothes,
on a level you don't see I'm mending from broke,
your beauty is suturing...
I'll call in sick for work and tell them I've never felt this well.
Like a bird and wind belong I listen to you like a song.

Time Release Capsule

Lyrics:
"Hey wake up sonny, sadly it's real.
War being fought all for money; the sick, the poor and the piecemeal...
You may not want to see tomorrow, dismay many a today.
Don't get got down in that sorrow.
Nothing down there but a waste or a shame.
I'm not trying to shit on your youth bud but without anymore adieu...
I'll introduce you to bad luck and the sick fucks hills eyes on you.
You'll wonder if there's something after this maybe just another one of these...
It was a rut...now it is a pit...so you'll learn to live life without dreams.
When you got your new wings you took them for a spin; wore one out, tore the other on a star,
come the next day everyone's flying around; you're frowning the static slowly making you dark...
Saying "Why do I feel like Frankenstein when we've got vampires running things?"
Wouldn't matter if you were filthy rich cus' it ain't gonna fix a fucking thing.

The Day After Tomorrow Will Be the First Day of My Life

tdatwbtfdoml

Lyrics:
As I recall, 
the person I saw in the mirror was gone,
alcohol's thrall was wearing off, 
I looked and felt like a skeleton, 
my heart had turned into gelatin, 
I didn't have very many friends,
I cannot blame the ones that left, 
the people who threw in the towel on me,
how belittled can a person be? 
Oh you'd be surprised of the lengths I stole 
to enlighten this poor fool, 
the color's flooding back into my face, 
holding the trophy for last place. 
Hey, Grace, you're a virtue to me...
Give them time and they'll see.

Refinement Of Movement

Lyrics:
"KSWTAZ"
Feeling tired I went to lie down and the next thing I know
the house had been lifted up off the ground by a tornado.
The first thought I had was "Where is my dog?" 
"Ozzypodjitsi?!" I called and he comes 
wagging his tail and batting his eyes as if to say he wasn't to blame.
I almost forgot flying through the sky...
We ain't in Kansas no more,
Yes this isn't K A N S A S.
I might still be who I had been before but
this isn't K A N S A S
we ain't in Kansas anymore,
welcome to A R I Z O N A.
Welcome to Arizona.
,dan'

KSWTAZ

Lyrics:
I didn't understand so I shut myself off from the outside,
hurt to my soul, a pissed in glass of milk of a man,
I licked all my wounds and there's truth in them just needing some time, 
I'm ready to love and be loved if anyone can.

I'm gonna die alone and I don't wanna live alone anymore...

When I've got nothing to find I'll have nothing to hide...
I can't be any more transparent than invisible baby.
I will never have enough without somebody to love.
to spend decades becoming the book you read the cover of.

I'm going to live alone, I'm going to die alone,
I'm going to live alone, I'm going to die alone,
I'm going to live alone, I'm going to die alone,
I'm going to live and die alone.
,dan'

Enola Sad

Lyrics:

Hello there fair Saint Katherine, I hope you don’t mind me watching you dancing around like the breeze.
It’s so pleasant to see you and so seldomly do lights shine as candescent as thee.

My tired eyes became rivers, my old heart a new guillotine, my sorry soul shivering timbers like the spine of a ship lost at sea.
I can’t hold back all of the aching sometimes with you looking right through me.
Oh fair Katherine I feel like I’m gonna die from desire,
the cruelest disease.
                                        ,dan’
