You 04:57
YOU She came in and sat next to my window I said ok begin and tell me what I need to know She just laid down and called me to her body And we made love, we fucked our pain away I held tight to the last that I had of her As she said now I have no reason here to stay I watched her skin move away from mine As she turned to leave me one more time And all that I can say (Chorus) Is it’s you You It’s you, baby, you So now this room is just that grave where I lay me And in this tomb I am haunted by her memory The walls scream in her voice my name As my corpse is forced to rest in pain And all that I can say (Repeat Chorus) Well, love is just my prison How I wish I could burn this damn house down And now the you is gone Because I need you more than ever now So I guess that’s why we bid farewell To you and now you’re gone So now you’re here I have you next to my window Will you escape this terror I call me Because I know the hurt that you could be So if you’re gonna go will you please just leave All that I will say Is it’s you

WAITING/WANTING Some things never really mattered And love never really mattered to me Sometimes its emotion though it makes you give in to carelessly Now that the night is over And I’m lying here All alone This terrible hurt you gave me Makes me want to know How many lives do you own? Your fingertips touching the side of my skin All on my chest, leaving an imprint In my breast I didn't think you'd reach me so deep You're touching my heart ripping the innocence out of me (Chorus) How many bodies, do you hold? How many lives, do you own? Ooh yes I am wanting I’m waiting All alone Ooh yes I am wanting I’m waiting Lying in the sheets of sin and regret All of this awfulness I wish I could Somehow forget Yea but I Even though I sit and I cry Only the terribleness is all that ever revived (Chorus) Your body makes a promise it so badly wants to keep and even though you pull apart your body never completely leaves (Chorus)

The Whether 04:10
THE WHETHER I use to sing about the weather like whether or not the suns gonna shine But lately some things have gone too deep for the ignorant to grasp or define I’m standing now waiting anticipating that day I can cease all explaining Until then I’m feeling somewhat envious of all of those who say I’m suited up for my long long ride home That starting point from which gone running from From the confrontation with the conversations Dealing with the plans of future destinations So stand back I’m waiting, anticipating that day I can cease all explaining Until then I’m feeling somewhat envious of all of those who say (Chorus) I walk along that tightrope And I sway with every winded blow And I bend and balance so When the reach the other side I know When I come back down When I come back down I still have me, I own Well the weather says from here what I’ll do What challenges I will seek or see through Will I stay or will I run Will I continue to act play have fun Stand back I’m waiting, anticipating That day I can cease all explaining Until then I’m feeling somewhat envious of all of those who say I walk along that tightrope And I sway with every winded blow And I bend and balance so When the reach the other side I know When I come back down When I come back down I still have me, I own

Cold 04:45
COLD Cradle the sound of my voice In your cold And in your whole, I’ll stand alone Savor the taste of my words In your mouth And in yourself, I stand alone (Chorus) Oh from reason I give myself to you Both you and I ----Cold Silence that calling, it comes for us As we listen poised And through our joys, I’ll stand alone (Chorus) From reason I give myself to you Both you and I We know exactly what to do Both you and I We go cold Silence the sound of my voice In your cold And through your joys I stand alone I stand alone (Repeat Chorus)

Hostage 04:39
HOSTAGE I focused in on all the pain And forced it under with no way of surfacing So you will never feel my hurt And I'll remain the evil you wish God would burn I wondered to this immaculate Mis-conception of the faith I inherit From my savor who I'm surrendered to and held for ransom to the conflict I am hostage to (Chorus) They shackle my body down to the cross Hold me for ransom in the name of their God If their reason are not reason good at all My body is safe from harm Their power's deep So I suspect My baptism is in the blood from their victims So I will be infected with their decease and have no choice but to cry out My God, my soul to keep (Chorus) They shackle my body down to the cross Hold me for ransom in the name of their God If their reasons are not reasons good at all My body is safe from harm So much distraction so their violence can give here in my temple my sanctuary is if their reasons are not reason good at all my body is safe from harm. (Repeat Chorus)

In This Skin 06:00
IN THIS SKIN My love, my only love In this darkened room we declare our love My dreams my fantasies tonight are given life and begin to breathe (Bridge) But from the charade your body wants to play As the heart thrusts to push this away On the verge of all being known til the skin slowly absorbs (Chorus) In this skin is the evidence I am withholding and selfishly protecting My dear, come my dear Crawl to me in passion from your lust my dear Yearn for and crave my touch lie your body still as I examine us (Repeat Bridge) (Repeat Chorus) My love, my only love in this darkened room we declare our love I am your pleasure I, I am your joy I am your perfect lullaby (Repeat Bridge) (Repeat Chorus)

River 07:22
RIVER A stale beginning can lead to stale endings And some things never progress And hopelessness has become all to common And suddenly the latest trend Me I'm one who never could conform Cause something runs too deep I picture myself with ability to fly over any given Earth, sea or sky As I lay myself in the clouds that rocks my gently While the goddess sing their sweet lullabies Dreams they form shadows barricade Skeletons they won’t dance (Chorus) Let's go to the river and quickly jump in Watch as our lives begin Let's go to the river and sleep in its bed watch as our lives begin Interpretation of mass imagination sometime reflects as only ill on me So I lock myself on those islands laying distant while the pirates guard me out by the seas Dreams they form Shadows barricade Skeletons they won't dance (Repeat Chorus) I realize we're on the edge of our perceptions In exchange some things never change I like to think that you fuel your own depression In exchange that means I can live Dreams they form Shadows barricade Skeletons they won't dance (Repeat Chorus)
