She Said 04:10
She said she said she's got a new lover She said she said she's loving another Yet a few weeks before when she was still mine She said all she needed was a little time She said she said "just a little time" She said she said "well please don't judge me" But she's in your bed and it puts me through hell Now I can't see forward, can't look behind And I've lost all notion and sense and time She said she said "just a little time" She ripped my heart right out of my chest And I lived through her worst and brought out her best And I ran down her path and showed her the stars And trusted her when she said "forever" She said she said she just had to do it The voices in her head where driving her there And yeah she knows it's doomed and wants me around To help her through when she crashes down She said she said "just a little time" And I burnt all her pictures and letters of love And cried for the way that it used to be When this flame became a forest fire; a raging fire And we lit up the night Then she ripped my heart right out of my chest And I lived through her worst and brought out her best And we howled at the moon and we howled in my bed And I trusted her when she said "forever" She said she said she's got a new lover She said she said she's loving another Yet a few weeks before when she was still mine She said all she needed was a little time She said she said "just a little time" She said she said "just a little time"

In the stillness of the night When I'm never sleeping I still hear the sound of your breath Though you're far away in someone else's arms Please release me from this jagged spell Please release me from this love I feel You always took everything you needed But it was never enough And the only time I ever needed you You just turned your back and walked away Please release me from this jagged spell Say you're sorry and let me sleep

Faith 05:08
A single blood-red rose Is draped across her pallid snow-white English chest A knife held to her heart by her own intellect Drawing on a holy breath She must run so fast just to keep from falling down She wishes she were blind Then she could turn these broken wings Into garden beds; flower beds She's drinking in your eyes In the hope that maybe you can read her well She know all things must pass - eventually Fire and earth has made her stone Now she's found herself at the foot of the moon all alone Pushing through the cracks You can't hide in the dark forever Like an unborn child; broken child She's longing for reunion With a source of light greater than the self Shedding all her skin in the dirt and mud But wholeness is everything And all along the path to heaven are heavenly angels, Mystics, shamans and a gifted child Stripped to the core of essential self When everything else is taken it will sustain her Drawing on a holy breath She must run so fast just to keep from falling down She wishes she were blind But you can't hide in the dark forever Like an unborn child; holy child

I've got this theory It says that you're crazy I've got a number give me a call I get this feeling It warns me of treachery You just claim you're misunderstood I don't know if I can Swim in these dark, deep waters Throw me a line, I'm going down I don't know if I can Cool down my burning fever When I don't care no more if I drown You scream at the windows To shatter the silence You cut my words with your fingernails You lie to the mirror You lie in my bed You know precisely how to seduce me

Done some things don't make me proud Walked around with head in cloud Wore my heart upon my dirty sleeve Well I'm no saint at least I try Forget to breathe attempt to fly Can't walk a straight line if I wanted to Kiss me quick before I leave And take this chance to trust in me 'Cause I'm the one who needs his endless freedom Kiss me quick while you still can I know I'm such a complex man 'Cause I'm the one who changes with the seasons Walked a mile in broken shoes Lived a dream with my sweet muse Lost myself inside her dark deep cave Kissed the sun and burnt my lips Bit my nails to the finger tips Don't know now who I should try to save Kiss me quick before I leave And take this chance to trust in me 'Cause I'm the one who needs his endless freedom Kiss me quick while you still can I know I'm such a common man 'Cause I'm the one who changes with the seasons Kiss me quick before I leave And take this chance to trust in me 'Cause I'm the one who needs his endless freedom Kiss me quick while you still can I know I'm such a stupid man 'Cause I'm the one who changes with the seasons
