The words will come
when you're sound asleep
And you've lost it all
and have nothing to keep

When your mind is shallow
and your pain is deep
And your eyes resemble
the clouds that weep

The words will come...

this whole human race is crazy
I walk upon a ground that craves me
no one ever said that this world would please you
and no one sees you

it really isn't hard to please me
but the beginning or the end ain't easy
just a due to be paid to the ground that craves you
and no one saves you

if you step in the ****
then you are bound to spread it
doing the ***** work
for the ******* who shed it

who is holding the spoon
here's your chance to stir it
let's forget the truth
spread the **** to blur it

if you play in the ****
then you are bound to regret it
when it covers you
then you'll finally get it
poetry is the reason

She with porcelain
beauty shines her
goodness all around

So fair the dazzle
of her mirror left
her blind

In a car she hears
the metal scream

Desires only one
big chair and one even
bigger mug of tea

In purple robe she
ministers the world
and brings the
troubled soul to ease

It should be a home
I know
AM and PM
Home stereo
What good words will you say?
What good songs will you play?
Sun dials antenna
Broadwith
I ask you not broadcast
The low end of the spectrum
What good news do you bring?
What new song will you sing?
Eight-six the FM
I cannot listen anymore
It's music I suppose
From an evil radio
the sun is setting
far behind us
the world moves on
why can’t I?
your hand is slipping
my face is sinking
the credits are rolling
and I try, I try
you disappear from sight
the moon is still just as bright
but the night doesn’t feel right
it’s a lie, a lie
(because the world doesn’t care
if you say goodbye
life is unfair
and I cry, I cry)
sometimes at night, when I'm alone
I look at pictures we took together
and funny videos too

they put a smile on my face
when I'm feeling down
missing being around you

if you ever think I don't love you
you should know that
you're my calm before the storm

you're the fire
in my belly, in my heart
you're the one that keeps me warm
you keep me going at the worst of times
I love you more every day
gone for tonight, never too far away
