Lighting The Way
i've been lighting the way
with bridges burning low, now.
i've been wasting the days
like living's going out of style, now.
i've been up every night,
walking down the highway.
if i can make things right,
i'm gonna do it my way.
send it straight to you.
like you put a price on everything you do.
like a song that ain't worth singing.
i've been hiding away,
waiting for disaster.

The Warmth Of A Tomb
hang on,
'til your dying day.
swinging in the breeze.
whistle while you freeze
and pray for
something you believe.
sing it out to sea.
sing it out to me
while in the warmth of a tomb
i was thinking to presume
you had the gall.
something kept me waiting
for your call
to get through.
i was sinking in my room.
hang on,
waiting for the way.
take it while you can.
satisfy demands
and pray for
liar's blood to be.
carried out to sea.
buried out to sea
while in the warmth of a tomb
i was thinking to presume
you had the gall.
something left me waiting
for the fall to assume
there was nothing left in bloom.
Bright Pavilions
bah bah dum bah.
to breathe in bright pavilions
in that lighter air.
organisms perish by the millions
when you're there.
organisms perish by the millions
in your hair.
when you dare me to,
i do. i do.
love each of you.
i do. i do.
bah bah dum bah.
you lay in state beside the one
you're thinking of.
lie and wait in altered states inside
the story of
. the organism cherished by the one
you're thinking of.

i do. i do.
love each of you.
i do. i do. i do. i do.

carry it away?
on the interstate.
ambulance driver.
i could barely wait.

why don't you roll it out,
carry it away?

Unprepared
we carried you there,
so unprepared,
so unprepared to be grieving.
don't tarry with care,
take to the air,
so unaware you'd be leaving.
and now, i'm here to say,
i shall never be right again.
how can i pray
he'll return what he's taken away?

Some Kinda Tragedy
this inconsolable world of suffering
won't turn around,
having been in the ground with my reason.
these uncontrollable circumstances
won't make a sound,
having suddenly found you in season.
i can't concentrate on melody.
waiting for some kinda tragedy.
i can't keep things straight,
i imagine myself with you.
there's nothing anybody else can do.
there's nothing anybody else can do.
this inconsolable world of suffering
won't be denied,
having tried to decide on decision.
these unavoidable circumstances
waiting beside,
having tried to divide on division.

pleading guilty to most anything.

i imagine myself with you.
there's nothing anybody else can do.

True Believer
ever since i
take downs to keep me dreaming.
i get down about redeeming this lie.
ever since that night.
i replay transfiguration
of a dead, black aberration
and cry.

whatever makes you safe at all.
i need healing.
i need graves to get me feeling.

In The Valley Of Dying Stars
keeping quiet and meaningless.
in the cage that you gave me.
i am euthanizing the gloom.
in whose image you made me.
in this valley of dying stars.
you can make it feel crazy.
you can black out most of the view
'til you make it amazing.
can you hear the sound
of hours blowing away?
if you care about it, anyway.
how can i take you out of the way?
bullets break you a lobotomy.
bullets break you a lobotomy. hey.
keeping still in the emptiness.
where you break and betray me.
i am euthanizing the gloom.
in whose image you made me.
in this valley of dying stars.
you can make it feel crazy.
i am black and beholden to you
'til you make it amazing.
can you hear the sound of hours
blowing away?
if you care about it, anyway.
how can i take you out of the way?
bullets break you a lobotomy.
bullets break you a lobotomy. hey.
