- a vessel for a minor malady
There's no cure so why should i care
You have fled into this blackness
In this sling i must contain
You use your force
To comfort my trembling hands
And fold them aside
- captive to nowhere
Burst into flames
In pieces on the ground
Have you been to nowhere,
To no one?
In fable’s arms
From this moment on
Bitter in my mouth
- Defy This Love
You help me do the things I hold
You help me do the things I hold
Defy, defy our love
Defy, defy our love
And it's not the roles you play
And it's not the roles I play
- Dyed in the Wool
There goes your body in a box
That is all i have left
Now this odor lines my shaking bed
There's no order to you
Come with me you dirty wretch
I will keep you save
- Embers In Your Eyes
Birds never sleep
On this mountain peak
In a borrowed town
The bells never ring
Piercing the sky
On a noon time flight
Casting down
- Everybody's Got Their Own Part To Play
You ought to know by now
Nobody’s coming to make a sound
You take the fork to your mouth
Have no shame
Try to contain
What’s it like
What’s it like
- Floor Pile
I stood inside your pool in some palm setting reel
A picture on a screen there sat you and me
And i comb the wire for a lock of papier-mache
I build a tower for you to portray
You let go of my hand and acted like we never touched
Like some harbour a ship never brushed
I am the floor pile walk over me
My light has grown tired paint over me
- I Started A Joke
I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
Oh if I could only see that the joke was on me
I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh if I could only see that the joke was on me
- Plea
Into this state
I watched you confirm all of my fears
Have given birth
Offer me
Offer me
Offer me some restraint
Not for this
- Portray
What's this
That I see
Have you turned yourself from thee
You wanna hide
Won't you portray any longer
Well
There it is
- Ribbons Of You
These bloated veins have climbed
Hillsides and airlines
Looking for a limb to reside
This eager scheme has turned
Lathered up your bottled smile
But the notice passes the tether by
In storms the coils do fail
- Steadfast And True
Like a barrel of dread
You are hovering 'round my head
If only you could try to resist
Come now, wont you try to forget
Steadfast and true
Gentle are few
When everything just slips away
- Throw A Blanket Over The Sun
He throws a blanket over the sun
He closes out everyone
While she prays,
"Don't let him take me. There must be a better way."
You will come to me in a dream
Rifled of my sorrow or just to ease my pain
And let it slay me or let me suffocate
- You Hurry Wonder
This frost you stand in
It draws on wobbled legs
This sway is stabled
I gnaw through your gate
You sort what i bend
You jar me for relief
This canter is guided
This room i pace
