Got a few
demons that keep me up at night
got a few reasons why I couldn't fight
got a few ghosts I'm promising not to love
got some hope I'm trying to get rid of
The gun was
warm against her sweaty hands
the rain fell, thought I could understand
She keeps
her cross right next to her white, red, and blue
he keeps his lies cozy right next to the truth
he doesn't know what he wants, but that hasn't stopped him yet
I got a peacemaker and I am a patriot
The gun was
cold against her practiced hand
She took her shot just as history demands
she didn't do it for me, didn't do it for love, did it for the
money
she didn't do it for me, didn't do it for love, did it for the
country
no sir, I
don't know her, at least not since she left my bed
no sir, I haven't seen her, at least not since she left my head
no sir, you won't find her, I have been trying for years
no sir, you can't catch her, she hasn't got any fears
got a few
demons that keep me up at night
got a few reasons to avoid the light
got a few ghosts I'm promising not to love
got some hope I'm trying to grab hold of.
The gun was
hot against her lowered hand
The shaking was entirely unplanned
she didn't do it for me, didn't do it for love, did it for the
money
she didn't do it for me, didn't do it for love, did it for the
country

What if I
were born again
and my Zen didn't kick me up a notch
and I won't know what to do without you
so I'll just sit back and watch as
the days turn
into nights turn into weeks turn into years
and the stars go 'round and they cut the ground
and the lights all disappear
no matter
what I do, it's true, I long to spend another 30 lives with you
yes it's true; I'd love to spend another 30 lives with you
ba ba ba
As my mood
ring turns dark blue
I accrue these yearnings not to die
and I won't know what to do without you
if I'm spawned back up to life
and the days
turn into nights turn into weeks turn into years
and the boredom comes and there's no one else who can wipe away
the tears
no matter
what I do, it's true, I long to spend another 30 lives with you
yes it's true; I'd love to spend another 30 lives with you
ba ba ba

Some Lonely Day

I will take
the stage and read from the pages
of an ancient text of truth
Secret plots with a cardboard backdrop
and there's nothing left to lose
and they call your name to accuse and shame
and to tear your costumes off
and failure comes and failure stalks
through the breathing holes in the top
but some,
some lonely day
they will break you down and then your mind will sway
some, some will betray
they will mark you out and cut it all away
the opening
scene reads like a magazine
full of gossip, lies, and death
as you turn the page, well don't be afraid
'cause you can never cheat what's left
as you near the end
and the glass jar bends
then they're looking for relief
the politician's gone, the magician's run
and the strongman is in grief
but some,
some lonely day
they will break you down and throw it all away
some, some cold embrace
it will crush you up and then your bones will splay
so you learn
your part and you play it well
but don't improvise or sleep
when the curtains close and you can't go home
you might earn the role of the thief
but some,
some lonely day
they will paint you up and put you on display
some, some fallen rays
down from heaven come and melt it all away

Walk
on Water

I think about
when I was young scared and sad as kids can come hiding there
under the
table and I wonder what I've done as I turn 21 and I still hide
whenever I am able
And I can
walk on water like I'm one of the chosen
I can walk on water as long as it's frozen
I can fly
so high if I get in an airplane but the buzzing and humming is
driving me insane I could climb any mountain if I start out at
the top and I could easily survive this massive drop
And I can
walk on water like I'm one of the chosen
I can walk on water as long as it's frozen
And I can walk on water like I'm one of the chosen
I can walk on water as long as it's frozen
I was cursed
from the start my brain glows in the dark like some star consuming
its core
Shaking, cold, and blue as I find out that truth just doesn't
exist anymore
And I can
walk on water like I'm one of the chosen
I can walk on water as long as it's frozen
And I can walk on water like I'm one of the chosen
I can walk on water as long as it's frozen
SOLO
And I can
walk on water like I'm one of the chosen
I can walk on water as long as it's frozen
And I can walk on water like I'm one of the chosen
I can walk on water as long as it's frozen

I feel like
a planet that hasn't got a moon
come orbit me and light night skies with everything you do
but I won't give up gravity or tides or anything for you
I feel like a pilot who's lost the nerve to fly
I still look up every day and dream of ruling the sky
but I won't give up gravity or tides or anything for you
I'm losing
I'm Losing I'm Losing
I'm losing I'm Losing I'm Losing
I feel like
a comet that hasn't got a tail
come follow me and cut the sky with your luminescent trail
but I won't give up gravity or tides or anything for you
tonight I'm slowly, but surely losing altitude
I'm losing
I'm Losing I'm Losing
I'm losing I'm Losing I'm Losing
like a hypernova
that can't explode, I suck you into my black hole
and rip you up and send you back in time to places that have haunted
you
and hurt you all of your life
I'm losing
I'm Losing I'm Losing
I'm losing I'm Losing I'm Losing

Cross your
arms child and kneel
don't believe what you feel
because the truth will catch you just wait
born to learn death by rote
with a silver knife to your throat
and the incisions are already made
I won't let
you run (fast) I won't let you run
no one can help you escape
I won't let you run (fast) there's nowhere left to run
there is no escape (add a syllable)
I keep my
hands in my pockets
and like Goddard's failed rockets
I bring shame in a blaze of fire
and even the songs of the angels blindfolded
call us to rocks to retire
I won't let
you run (fast) I won't let you run
no one can help you escape
I won't let you run (fast) there's nowhere left to run
there is no escape
Cut yourself
from the ties
and the code of behavior
because no one survives there's only the saviors
but don't be afraid
don't be afraid don't be afraid
I won't let
you run (slow) I won't let you run
no one can help you escape
I won't let you run (slow) there's nowhere left to run
there is no escape
I won't let
you run I won't let you run
no one can help you escape
I won't let you run there's nowhere left to run
there is never an escape

Nobody listens to a word you say anymore
C G
Nobody's got the time to pray anymore
F C
And you look to the sky and fall on your back to the floor
G C
Nobody cries when you pack up and walk out the door
Nobody writes
you letters, makes phone calls, sings you a song
Your instincts are going, you forgot what it's like to be strong
And you stare in the mirror wondering if you belong
Nobody will tell you where it was you went wrong
F C G C
And nobody listens
And nobody cares
Nobody stalks you
And blogs your affairs
You want more attention
You're begging for more
G C
Nobody cries when you pack up and walk out the door X 2
You're so
very lonely, paparazzi don't wait on your street
You check the magazine stand for your picture week after week
F C
As you reach for the sky you just fall on your back to the floor
G C
Nobody cries when you pack up and walk out the door
F C G C
And nobody listens
And nobody cares
Nobody stalks you
And blogs your affairs
You want more attention
You're begging for more
G C
Nobody cries when you pack up and walk out the door X 2
