Dark Comedy
03:33

Her body's shakin' from hits she's taken, fat lipped and smilin' with her black eyes blinking at you, oh honey you get what you get,
she spends the low times laughin' it up, life's always funny when the bitterest taste slaps the smile on your face, she plays the down card,
and it's what she's been through, that I'm so into, her black is brilliant her resilience never fails, she's smoking my last cigarette
and she spends the low times laughing it up, life's always funny, there's a lot of sweet things between violent mood swings, and that girl's a
dark comedy
There's a lot of sweet things between violent mood swings, when the bitterest taste slaps the smile on your face, just don't ask for too much, just a cold face to touch, she goes up, it goes down, work it out
she spends the low times laughing it up, life's always funny when the bitterest taste slaps the smile on your face, she spends the low times laughing it up, life's always funny, there's a lot of sweet things, between violent mood swings, and that girl's a dark comedy

I used to get high with this waitress
for 47 weeks straight we stayed stoned
It wasn't love but it was painless
And neither one could stand to be alone
And on occasion inspiration illuminated in her eyes
And she'd turn on, she used to say
I think I was meant for more than this
Was there something that someone said I missed
What the hell are we waiting for
Move on
And as for me I had a chest pain
That only 7 drinks a day could dull
And a hyperactive right brain
The pain has laminated to my skull
And I never had the right words
To spill the secrets I'd have died to tell
And never will
We were coming down so hard back then
Softly strangling strangers into friends
Hypnotized in a sleeping spell
Time won't
Return the smiles we leave behind
The point from A to B is a straight line down
No stops, no turning around
Just take the ride and check it out
It's tough to tell
I was coming down so hard back then
Just the same as today and the state I'm in
I've been searching for magic half my life
Never been any closer than on that night
What the hell were we waiting for
Time wont

Vanishing Breed
03:18
|

The scene is sick inside my head, I can't remember what you said so I'm faking it, and I just feel lonely when I'm everywhere and everything is bringing me down, in this town
Another vanishing breed, did anybody really need what I gave to them? It's like there's poison in the medicine and I feel contagious so don't get close.
But oh, someday I'll fly, I'll be California sky, I'll be five miles wide, I'll be more than you could hide, and I won't forget, not a word we said, like a candlelight vigil for this life you can watch me burn,
So put your damage in the ground, and hear the slowly sinking sound of this life you've earned, don't say I never gave you anything if you keep on giving it back, it's too bad
oh, someday I'll fly, I'll be California sky, I'll be five miles wide, I'll be more than you could hide, and I won't forget not a word we said, I'll be so far gone, I'll be never coming home, I'll be five miles wide, I'll be more than you could hide, and I won't forget, not a word we said, I'm a candlelight vigil for this life, you can watch me burn.

Diamonds
03:25

You are a light inside of me, the higher truth I long to see, in an electric pulse at night, that whispers sweet to me
Your path is lit by lightning strikes, your face alive with firelight, the pearls of promise that you hide, have made me come to life
I see diamonds in your eyes, I see fireflies, I get sparked crashed in heaven shooting stars
So put your arms around my neck, like a heartbreak tourniquet, I have had this blood before and you'll get used to it
when the life inside you flows, and you are wild and beautiful, the pearls of promise that you hide, will make me come alive
I see diamonds in your eyes, I see fireflies I get sparked, crashed in heaven shooting stars, and when you lie awake at night, think of me and reignite, crashed in heaven shooting stars

Little Star

When I feel annointed, patron saint of easy targets
lost and disappointed in the fall
It's not mine to belong, catch another mystery train and slip away to dawn and on and on
little star little star, I've waited for a million nights to be where you are
Every time I'm close to it, the opal sky in ending autumn
I drink a bitter toast to it and call
It gets so hard to stay calm, trembling like a tiger's heart with fevered blood so warm, and bright, tonight
little star little star, I've waited for a million nights to be where you are
and I wish I may, I wish I might collapse your heart tonight, I've waited for a million nights
to be where you are
cause she comes on every night, and she turns on every light, and she makes the darkness fade away
Tonight, little star little star, I've waited for a million nights to be where you are
and I wish I may I wish I might collapse your heart tonight, I've waited for a million nights
to be where you are
where you are
where you are

Ruined June
04:10

I was heartbroken at 10
When they ended it was not the end
Optimistic as I was
I couldn't believe when they told me
We would all be friends
And the worst part was to choose
Between heroes, two people, too soon
Cursed the starlight
When they tore apart the moon
And the old man drove away slow
Without my say so, so soon
And ruined June
It's astounding what the heart
of a child can withstand
In the body of the boy you plant the man
And my sister never cries
She just lets a little sadness out in every smile
And the last time that I looked in the mirror
Twas clearer to me that I still carry
What that summer did to me
And the monster that they gave me
Still saves me, some way, every day
So I release this to the tide
On the endless dark ocean inside
And the last time that I looked
At the night sky at twilight
I knew I'm the starlight, I am the scarred imperfect moon
And the monster that they gave me still saves me
Some way, every day

The Kid Ain't Right
03:09
|

The trick is not to think, and don't blink, the highest state of mind is instinct. I love you but I don't like you this way, you should never act your age.
I want a love that grows and glows and flows with a tenderness that shows, we're so close
I wanna walk you out into the night while a million stars above collide, by now you know I'm wild alive and the kid ain't right
the kid ain't right, and you will know I'm wild alive so breathe in,
then take another breath of what's left, you're alive and you should love yourself to death, there's beauty and there's bliss endure the rest, and hold your hopes in tight to your chest,
I'm gazing out of wise and wilder eyes, and I wanna be surprised, so let's rise
I wanna walk you out into the night while a million stars above collide, and you will know I'm wild alive and the kid ain't right, the kid ain't right, yes you will know I'm wild alive, and rage against the dying of the light, so let's get out tonight
so let's get out into the night while a million stars above collide, and you will know I'm wild alive, and the kid ain't right, yes you will know I'm wild alive and rage against the dying of the light. so let's get out tonight.
