I care so much
and I worry about you
with a heart this fragile
what else can I do
with a heart this fragile
what else can I do
I could wrap both arms around and hold you forever
Hold on to you with all my heart
kiss you goodbye when you go
carry the memory in my hand
and when I see you again I know
I could wrap both arms around
and love you forever

Glowing Letters
03:44
|
|||
|
if there was anything left to say I'd probably have said it by now
I could put on my coat and go
throw what we had out the window
when I look back now I have to stare
I forget you're not there
My mind wanders back to that vast roating ceiling swirling over my head
I thought that I'd be there forever
forever on that bed
But I guess I was wrong
Sharpening my wit by giving you the best laugh you'll ever have
spelling out what I want to say in mile high glowing letters
if there was anything left to say I'd probably have said it by now
I could put on my coat and go
throw everything we had out the window
when I look back now I have to stare
I forget you're not there
seems like it was so long ago
I miss that time like you'll never know
my mind wanders back to those days in the sun
I thought they would never end
but I guess I was wrong
sharpening my wit by giving you the best laugh you'll ever have
spelling out what I want to say in mile high glowing letters
sharpening my wit by giving you the best laugh you'll ever have
spelling out what I want to say in mile high glowing letters!

Me
02:23

IF I said this wasn't about me, how much would you believe
would you think that I was lying, is that what you'd perceive
do you see why it has to be me
or do you honestly not see
I'm all you could possibly need
all you could need possibly
If I said this was about you
how likely does that seem
there's no one here i like more than me
me myself and I make a pretty good team
do you see why it has to be me
or do you honestly not see
I'm all you could possibly need
all you could need possibly

Obsessing
05:10
|
|||
|
One thousand suns heat my face
then disappear without trace
razors cut my skin
then scar from within
when you stop obsessing
it ceases to be
flesh gives way so easily
under weight unfeasibly heavy
blood exposed to the air for the first time
upward the infection will climb
this mind burns with hate
carries the weight
of a thousand tons
upward
toward the sun
when you stop obsessing
it ceases to be

Mortality
03:30
|
|||
|
If I could die for you and still be happy I would
if there was some way it could happen like it should
I'd be happy to go and get hit by a bus
if that's what it takes to make you and I us
no one's more concerned with mortality than someone who's in love
no one's more concerned with romance than someone who views it from above
if I could care for you and still be living I would
if there was anything I could sacrifice to make it goo
I'd be willing to die to no longer be
if that's what it takes to bring you to me
no one's more concerned with mortality than someone who's in love
no one's more concerned with romance than someone who views it from above

Equal Force
02:38
|
|||
|
The harder I try the harder I fall
the higher i go the farther I fall
A hollowed out version of all I loved
a bile-filled version of everything I need
equal force in opposing directions equal force in opposing directions
gets nothing done
equal force in opposing directions
the farther I climb the farther I go
the farther I go the harder I fall
A hollowed out version of all I loved
a bile-filled version of everything I need
equal force in opposing directions equal force in opposing directions
gets nothing done
equal force in opposing directions

Erotogenic Worship
02:14
|

|
I covet your flesh under the light of the moon
we'd better pack up
it'll be light soon
keep away from the sun
keep away from the sun
keep away from the sun
oh keep away from the
I worship your body
beneath the light of the stars
let me have my way
the pleasure will be all yours
I carve your name in my skin
but still refuse to let you in
leave me during the day
and you will surely
wither away wither away wither away
keep away from the sun
keep away from the sun
keep away from the sun
oh keep away from the

Samarkand
03:48
|
|||
|
I still remember the look on your face
as we wandered through that deserted space
the palaces fallen to disrepair
smell the decay hanging in the air
for lust of knowing what should be known
we journey to samarkand
one too many fights brought it all down
there's nothing left of this majestic town
your knowing glance became a vacant stare
while samarkand fell into disrepair
for less of knowing what should not be known
we journey to samarkand
