- A Little War
I've laid my gun to rest
Below my feet
I've forgotten how to fire
Can you hear me?
I've dulled down my tongue
Visited the other side
I'm waving white, mad and sorry
But you don't hear me
- All Time Low
If drugs, helped, you
Not black out together now
But that's so last century
And if the rain, could, stay
Pressed against the heavens now
The sun would say we were lucky
- Blackwinged Bird
Night can't come quick enough
My faults shine in the sun
A train bridge of spies
Watches all the cars collide
I roll my green sleeves over ruby
I don't blame you for doing it to me
Real girls don't take aim
- Boy Races
You are not of this world
Not of the great dead sea of bodies
Without sight, minus spine
All the thieves I left behind
These words tell only half
Of the way this came alive
I only find all my senses
- Christopher
Winter hangs on just like a jilted love
Left to pass time under factory lights
Spinning on free ways for twenty-five years
A place in the sky where it all disappears
Street lamps flicker with stops and starts
We drag race our devils to fill empty hearts
And headlines and cities and curtains drawn dark
- Closure
Wait and this will pass
Just the way winter melted so fast
Somewhere before the mountain range
Caught in the wreck of an older train
In an acre where we could be alone
You showed you love like a gambler goes broke
Somewhere the night sky's clear
- Die Evergreen
You picked a sound time to roll when we're near the gold
How these confused trees need cold
Did you not think my skin might sink
Like Lily Parsons so far down
Nobody hears what's left of her
You're the Blank Joy, the decoy
I've loved to no return
But if you had a word
- Divine Like You
It's been one devil of a year
Came out of my blue to find you near
You are divine
Never wanted anyone
You are divine
Never wanted anyone
Not like you
- Empty Hole
Put my faith in the wrong place
Drunken hearts of golden boys
Government by my piano bench
Sings my sullen worn out voice
'Cause I'm still an empty hole
Floating in Canadian cold
Put my feet on a small town street
- Free
There are times you hold the deed to my insides
And steal the sparkle from my eyes
But this could be the last time baby
This could be the last time
And back then dressed up as some kind of true friend
You taught me how to lie for you
Cry for you, get drunk and get high off you
- Goddess
You can blame the Blackout
For why you didn't call
There's no saints in the metro
Taking down a New York doll
And leaving me in the summer
A renegade girl in a mess
Lighter fluid and thunder
- Good Riddance
Urban hello
Electric holiday
Whatever you say, but you don't speak for me
You don't speak for anyone
All the paper fools downtown on the corner
Killing the trampoline delay
I am not satisfied
- Half Sorry
Thank God I've got three minutes to tell you what I did today
I left this ugly city, with a computer and your cabaret
And I am happy for you, as happy as I can be burning alive
Is Paris as green as you say that it is
You can fill me in sometime
This is me without you, standing in the air I breathe
And I am half sorry that I came
- Joan
Joan hides the blue like a pro
Like all the green things
Lost under the fallen sun
I took her laughter with me
To the edge of New York
Joan forgets the way she is adored
- Julia
Tattooed and wide-eyed
Eastern standard time
Car smoke and people
Filling in outside
Sent Sadie to the love police
Below the forty-fifth
'One more date' the writer wrote
- Leftover Love
Day one of this love gushed like Niagara Falls
You said I was too good to be quiet
Day two I unraveled you as much as one girl can do
This storm was something to be inside it
Was to be alive
Was to be on high
We don't talk anymore
- Let It Snow
Snow angel in the dark
A rally no one hears about
She's driving through the snow
Forgetting all the kids she used to know
We're back in '69
She hears some fresh faced-kid declare
That she wasn't quite alive
She knows were a bit of deep shit this time
- Mary Jill
Yes, it's gonna be
Yes, it's gonna be
I'll save you from the demons
You shake hands with
I'll save you from the dragon's kiss
Yes, you have love
Yes, you wear that ring on your invisible finger
- Northern Holiday
Drive to the kicked in radio
The sunshine leaves me stoned
We're gonna drink and forget they let me go
For all the glitter I have seen
There's no rebels in between
So I'm alone but at least I'm free
What we need, what we need now is
- Parting Song
Should I not survive this, you should take this song with you
So you know I loved best and that you were my finest truth
There were none who ranked above you
Drew me open like the sky
Added sense to nonsense
Made it fun to be alive
- Sea Song
You look different every time
You come from the foam, crested brine
It's your skin shining softly in the moonlight
Partly fish, partly porpoise, partly baby sperm whale
Am I yours? are you mine to play with?
Joking apart, when you're drunk you're terrific
When you're drunk I like you mostly late at night
- Siamese Star
Oh, do, do
Oh, do, do
Oh, do, do
New York is getting dark
Though the orange lights embrace the clouds
Still I don't know where you are
- Southern Dreamer
Waste it all in the rend
Or laugh it down the drain
And I'm standing right here beside you
Now morph into a creature that no one understands
And I will lay my life beside you
Now You racing ahead
Like there's no tomorrow, only an end
- Stardeep
Rain on the Soho Grand
Icicles and tired houses
Burning two grooves in the six
Dreamers always dream like this
You used to be just a face
Now all the sound waves rush to surround you
Coming up to breathe the air
- Stereochrome
March on by like stardust in the sky
Brave or blinded I'm not sure which am I
Is the devil suit me or what would you tell me?
His whisper's gone but his soul keeps you alive
Jean sings Isabelle and we're still waking up
Dressing room disasters, if only I could give enough (give enough)
Why can't I give enough to you?
- Straight to Hell
If you can play on fiddle
How's about a British jig and reel?
Speaking King's English in quotation
As rail-head towns feel the steel mills rust
Water froze, in the generation
Clear as winter ice, this is your paradise
There ain't no need for ya, there ain't no need for ya
- Suffer
f I had the chance
One good chance
To dry your heavy rain
To swim your sea of pain
To hold you near
If I had the chance
One good chance
- Summerlong
I used to be contagious
Like the blue waves on my wall
The nineteen years I didn't know you
I still love you for them all
Climbing out of highway crashes
Throwing away your gun
Do you ever think that maybe we're similar
Just looking for someone?
- Symphonic
You're running through the underground
Hiding your real first name
I always said you were the real star
You move like a hurricane
Through the pain
You said, "Don't forget about me, don't forget about me"
Like I'd ever forget about you
- Yellow
Can you see the yellow on the road
Lying there for quite some time
Here my hands shaped like your hold explanation
Helps nothing, how dare you make me cry
I utter vows left and right and east and west
How I'll break the circle by never being any less
This day could quietly disappear
