don’t lift up your hands, it’s only a warning like blood in the sand, a kiss is a bruise is endurance for then felt the falling collapse and held in a small room of hell don’t lift up your face, it’s all tangled in, it’s always unraveling for control o...

Run little sister, run so fast, I see he’s gaining on you Take a breath and make it last The darkwater horizon Smile like you mean it And just cast the light of hell right out of here No one else can see it, the shape that makes you fall on fallow ground...

PROTECTION oh heaven sends him down to me and he’s got everything I'll ever need just for 16 days, i let him tie down the frailest part of my body i am small but in your arms you are colder in your heart i am worthless in your arms but you off...

off to the races and I let ride, what’s changed us in our time I’ll take the wheel but it’s the hunger that drives and fades us and our kind sometimes this place is a prison and sometimes a palace, I’ll be the king in my crown and sometimes the blood and...

When they broke your body They broke your mind But with broken spirits you have always tried I watch you sleep, I watch you fade I will always keep the light on even, even though you can’t stay And you sing to me, you say I don’t want to be awake when i...

You arrive, now that I must leave I'll take one step out of the nice dream Into, into something unknown, something unkind Somewhere so quiet, gone from your side Send me to lie here Forever unseen The distance is killing me, killing me The distance bet...

We looked a shadow of a man From where we're standing Which made us laugh and lift our hands And say "rise" We knew our hearts were made of glass Which comes from sand and We let it slip throughout our hands Into the night Let it be known that we are a...

impetuous girl, what you don’t know can’t hurt you wish they wouldn’t come back around here no more but you say “I’ll get you yet” they are crass, all the people in towns, are falling out and falling down and falling wish I would’ve come back here less...
