Are You Lonely
Did you keep our secrets
bottled safely in that June?
Drive nowhere summer nights
when there was nothing else to do.
I knew someone once,
someone just like you.
And they were lonely,
and they looked just like you.
I used to believe that things would be all right.
Can you feel it turning the neighborhood tonight?
Can you free it?
Let’s set the fences all on fire.
Are you lonely,
lonely just like me?
Are you lonely, even in your dreams?
No one can be everything to you,
and no one can be everything to me.
And no one can feel everything we feel
(Is this feeling even real?).

Flame
I know it's gonna spark into a flame
but you couldn't believe that I'm not yours to blow away
Another offender
Another face with no name
But you won’t give in
I know it's gonna spark into a flame
Don't you remember my name
I know, I know your name
Why won't you turn me away
Cause you're here where they want you to stay
But don’t give in
I know it's gonna spark into a flame
I know it's gonna spark into a flame
I wanted a...
I know it's gonna spark into a flame
Don't you believe it
Don't leave me now
I'm not the same
Another pretender
Another night with no name
Let me in
Cuz I’ve been standing at your door and I can’t do this anymore
I know it’s gonna spark into a flame

Every Time You Want Somebody
Every time you want somebody,
every time you need somebody,
every time you want somebody,
I’m waiting for you.
If you could see everything I’ve done for you,
would you walk away and let it go?
Into the night, where the rain is falling slowly,
I’ll be waiting alone for you.
Every time you want somebody,
every time you need somebody,
every time you want somebody,
I’m waiting for you.
If you’re saving up to keep somebody,
or if you want to disappoint somebody,
or if you want to tear apart somebody,
I’m right here for you.
After the rain, when the streets are clean and lonely,
I’ll be keeping a fire for you.
In the hope I could be more than a shadow on the corner,
watching your silhouette squirm under his thumb.
Every time you want somebody,
every time you need somebody,
every time you want somebody,
I’m waiting for you.
And everybody needs somebody.
Everybody disappoints somebody.
So if you want to tear apart somebody,
I’m right here for you.
You know that it’s true.

Pindrop
Every time I’m screaming at your hollow back
Like a drum in the desert
Like a mirror in black
You might close your eyes again but still you hear the sound
Gunshots will pierce the sons and keep you to the ground
I can hear the pin drop
I can hear the pin and I’m dropping to my knees
When you find me sleeping on your bed of white
Lies an empty conviction to hold through the night
You might close your eyes again but still you hear the sound
Gunshots will pierce the sons and keep you to the ground
I can hear the pin drop
I can hear the pin and I’m dropping to my knees
Every time I’m screaming looking at your hollow back
Like a drum in the desert
Like a mirror in black

To Ridicule
I can feel you
like a fever.
I still want you.
Do you still want me?
Who are you to ridicule?
Who are you to lie?
I can’t touch you,
I can’t see you,
I can’t taste you,
I can’t believe in you.
Who are you to ridicule?
Who are you to lie?
I can feel you
like a river
Like a failure,
let it be a seed.

Is Your Love Enough?

Is Your Love Enough?
Is this the night that you will go
across the line that marks will never show?
I’ve seen the way that you’re breaking me
and every night it’s the same question.
Is your love enough?
I’ve been put down before,
but the cost is something new.
And is it worth it for me to keep you out of the light?
Is your love enough?
(I don’t know why)
If you keep a secret in your room,
if it’s something you’re used to,
can you still call it abuse?
(I don’t know why)

Break Your Heart
So I want to know, for you to say go,
do I need to crawl away from view?
Can I not show or try to say so,
will I narrow in your eyes?
But you found me, and you need me.
Did you see me trying to break your heart?
Is it love?
And I’ve got to know that you won’t go
and it’s not fair for you to ride
through all these forgeries and lies.
But I still wait for the time to confess
that I’m weak and waiting in disguise.
But you found me, and you need me.
Did you see me trying to break your heart?
Is it love?

This Is Not Love
You can call me anything, call me what I am
I’m not listening and you don’t mean the words you say
Anything to keep me caged, lock it with a book of lies
But that won’t help you lift the burden from your mind
Like a bull in the ring charging at the crimson flag
Cut to pieces by the sword when you stop to catch your breath
This is not love
You can promise anything
I know you’re not going to change
You’re too terrified that you don’t feel the same
And you can stay awake all night
Trying to convince your self
That you can cross me out and make me someone else
Like a kite in the breeze on a string in your hand
I’m not sorry there are just certain things that I can’t stand
This is not love

LA Bed
When you are alone in your LA bed,
do you dream of love? Do you think of me?
After all the prisons that you’ve built,
after all the cubicles you’ve filled,
wouldn’t it be sweet to be a father to your son?
Thoughts roll in like waves
onto the beaches of our minds.
Yours come from the west
and mine come from the sky.
After this, you’ll have nothing left to give,
when the vault is closed and there’s no more life to live,
wouldn’t it be sweet to be a father to your son?
All the silver that you’ve kept -
it will be useless in the end.
The clouds will burst and the things that you forget
will rain down in your head.
Wouldn’t it be sweet to be a father to your son?

Ziggurat Brothers
I took another pill, then another
drink on my way to the scene.
If you’re another Ziggurat Brother,
you won’t make me say how I’ve been.
(Don’t make me say anything)
Cut stone by stone and bone by bone, the ziggurat grows,
as brick by brick, and shift by shift, we starve.
If you discover you’re just like the others,
don’t let it poison your stream.
It isn’t hard to see you’re not what you want to be -
you don’t have to say anything.
Ziggurat Brothers,
I love you too much to see this,
and they don’t give a fuck about you
cuz they don’t care about anything.
Cut stone by stone and bone by bone, the ziggurat grows,
as brick by brick, and shift by shift, we starve.
I took another pill, then another
drink on my way to the scene.
If you’re another Ziggurat Brother,
I think that you’ll know what I mean.
Ziggurat Brothers,
I love you too much,
and they don’t give a fuck about you -
and that’s straight from their hearts.
Don’t build their machine – it will tear us apart.
And they don’t give a fuck about you.

Civilization
We were born in captivity
and we’ve tried to swallow the keys
as the world that we think belongs to us
slowly sinks into the sea.
I’ve tried hard to be civilized,
I’ve tried so hard to be cruel.
I can’t sleep or look you in the eye.
I get so lost when I follow these rules,
but I do it for you.
You know I do it for you.
I don’t want to be civilized
and I don’t feel quite at home.
I don’t need to be civilized
but I’ve got nowhere else to go.
I’ve tried hard to be civilized
I’ve tried so hard to be cruel.
I can’t sleep or look you in the eye anymore.
I just want to get free.
I want to get free.
We were born in captivity
and we’ve tried to swallow the keys.

Eternity
Didn’t stop a war
Didn’t even think you could
Didn’t ever think that your words
could change anything
After an eternity heaven is a boring place
Didn’t stop a war
Even if you think you did
Living off your tie-dye drip
Things never change
If this is an eternity
Then it’s yours to keep
And I won’t bring you down
You’re already there
And you don’t want me around
And you don’t care what we’re fighting for
And you want me in the ground
And you don’t care what we’re dying for
We didn’t stop a war
We didn’t make believe we could
We didn’t stop a war
We didn’t even think we could
After an eternity, heaven is a boring place to be.

Forget The World
You were right
I was wrong
I will never be alone
It’s a burn and a glow
It’s the silver and the bone
In your arms I find a place where I forget the world
Turn my cheek to the wind
Let me lose the gift and drift
I’ll be free, if not safe
I will give myself away
In your arms I find a place where I forget the world
Let my dreams fall like rain
Clean the streets then down the drain
Something new every day
All I want to do is change
In your arms I find a place where I forget the world
