I could never cure your condition
the sun don't set on diamonds like you think
you'll cut your fingers on
the broken glass you mistake
its broken glass you must take
You've always wanted that red blouse
now you'll just ask for more
once the bow breaks
and walls fall away
you're left with just a roof and a floor
The sun don't set on diamonds like you
the sun don't set on diamonds like you
the sun don't set on diamonds like you think.
Some of the things you miss while you sleep
are the same damn things you miss when you blink.
Used to write dreams in your book
When you were young, glowing, naive
grew up too fast, that book didn't last
when you found that the world
was not what it seemed
I could never cure your religion
I could never fear the things you do
you find yourself lost much more than
find yourself
and i will never get lost with you
The sun don't set on diamonds like you
the sun don't set on diamonds like you
the sun don't set on diamonds like you think.
Some of the things you miss while you sleep
are the same damn things you miss when you blink.

For once
lets put the past in the past
and tear down the sun instead of punching out lights
we'll be good tonight
be home tonight
you're right
ill trip up on the way back
and fall away
back
you can count on it breaking to
broken bones
and sleep through the phone
Happy when you're sleeping
and numb when you're awake
you've got much more to live for
than you've got pills to take
so hard to smile
when you're sick
hard to stay awake
And I told you
you won't find
answers in the future when you behind
all the snapped off heels from stomping on the floor
are notches in the woodwork, mark your height at the door
you're getting so big
but i can't tell
ever since you were saved I've been going to hell
is this real
do you need a reason
do you need
reasons
Go on without me you can go on
without me
there's a million different people that could
do what I do
they will love you too, oh they will love you too
you gotta jump to land on your feet
when you're through

We all clenched to our cell phones,
Like they were the way home.
Like they could somehow have known.
But it's got to take some
Initiative to end this.
She knew that she could end this.
But she didn't...
But she didn't burn her Hamsun.
Pan is still up in his tree.
As for Hunger, it's on her night stand.
Waiting for her to come to bed,
While we were building piles
Of burning words that reached the sky.
They were pages of the books
Of men wish would die.
And we all clenched to our mothers,
Because they were the way home.
And this they had always known.
And it took lots of
Initiative to end this.
She knew that she could end this.
And she did.

If you've lost your years
to smoke and mirrors
put me down
you're here now
if you shake me off
the knife this time
i'll leave this town
Oh oh time
is such a funny thing when you are young
when you're dumb
oh mistakes are more than lessons learned
when you grow up
And i could hide
you could look but you'd know you'd never find
me
and I could lie
i'd bite my tongue all the time
And i could tell the perfect story
you'd believe
every word
when i promise you
you'd want me to
and you'd believe
every word
Ill show you how the smoke and mirrors
will hide you, hold you under, there's
a way we spoke in early years
of how the waves could break and sunder
we'd walk through the center dry
smiling when the clouds would tremble
trying hard to break above
things our memories resemble
Lost in smoke so thick and black
lights shine past your shadow's back
you step its toes in spite of track
to you its all the same
to you its all the same

Nocturnal

You can sleep
When you're dead
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
And I'll walk
on broken legs
until I'm lost
it's all in my head
it's all in my head
If Gravity
Gets the best of me
weighs me down
please lie next to me
on cold cold ground
they say
she's nocturnal
she just wants
to make it last
