The Sound Of
No I will not lay down
I will not live my life like a ghost in this town
I am not lonely swear to God I'm just alone
I'm back on my feet
I can just close my eyes and forget everything
My house is empty every memory blown away
Oh the sound of the wind throught my bones makes
me laugh
at all the bodies I kissed and never knew
Oh the soung of a lover's sympathy falling down to
the floor
just barely out of reach from me
No I will not go back
every word thats been hiding inside of my head is
running blindly
look behind me nothing's left
I can sit in a room
I can hear myself breathing and be quite amused
life is simple like the wrinkles on my skin
Oh the sound of the wind through my heart makes
me glad
for all the ones that never knew my name
Oh the sound of a lover's sympathy
I had to go could not stay here
they were always out of reach from me
Leave Me Now
Leave me now, don't hang around
Just close the door
and leave the key under the plant outside
The one you bought me years ago
look how it's grown
Go away, you cannot stay here
Take your heart off of your sleeve
and let me catch my breath
I hope you haven't left a thing
It's hard enough to be here without your love
It's hard enough
Move along, you don't belong here
Wipe yourself off of my floor
and let me get some sleep
I cannot keep you in my heart
It's hard enough to be here without your
to be here without your
to be here without your love
It's hard enough
It's hard enough
Leave me now, don't hang around
Leave me now, don't hang around
I Know You
I know that you're sorry
I know you've been drunk all week
I know that you did not mean to
Spit out those profanities
I know you're a loser
I know you've had bad skin all your life
I also know you will never find a wife
Someone who could love someone so hard
And you are
And you are
I don't think you're ugly
I just think the world has made you weird
I doubt very much you even hear
anything I say to you
What's that on your shoulder?
Don't you know it's pulling you apart?
Every vein connected to your heart
Nobody could love someone so hard
I know you well enough to say
You need to start again
I hope you never underestimate yourself my friend
My friend
I think that you need me
Even though you tell yourself you don't
I will love you even though you won't
I will be your confidant
Won't you let me hold you?
Won't you let me kiss you on the mouth?
Oh I know you'll tell me to get out
It doesn't matter any way
I know you well enough to say
You need to start again
I hope you never underestimate yourself my friend
My friend, My friend, My friend
I know you so well
I know you so well
I know you so well
Holy Moses
I don't know how I'll get by without you
I'll be wrecked, I'll be ruined
I don't know how I'll get past tomorrow
I bet I'll be broken open wide
I don't think I told you, I feel terrible
I've been sitting in this chair since Sunday
In the same clothes with unwashed hair
Nothing moving, I feel unusual
Holy Moses, I've been hanging over
Holy Moses, I've been burned like a cigarette
Oh Jehovah, I've been thrown a bone and
I cannot remember when I was
happy
Can you feel my heart beating like a thunder ball
Can you hear every sound I'm making
In the darkness Without breathing
Nothing moving I feel peculiar
I don't know, I can't tell
If I am .... myself
If I was a good girl would I be here?
If I was so stupid
then what was what you did?
You were not a good thing for me
Holy Moses, I've been hanging over
Holy Moses, I've been burned like a cigarette
Oh Jehovah, I've been thrown a bone and
I cannot remember when I was
happy
happy, happy
I don't know, I can't tell
If I am ... myself
I don't know, I can't tell
If I am ... myself
I don't know, I can't tell
If I am ... myself
Wishing That
And when I held you
You would almost always hold me down
And you could see through
everything I said I was falling
and you said not to fall on you
I've bitten every finger 'till it bled
Wishing that you loved me too
Wishing that you loved me too
Wishing that
And when I kissed you
You would almost always kiss me back
But I could tell your mind
was with someone else
On my hands are folded
neatly on my lap and I am
picturing your body as I ask myself if
You love me too
Wishing that you love me too
Wishing that
Listen to my nervous laughter
sunken deep inside my heart
My lips are dry I'm teary eyed
For you my love
Harken all you fallen angels
Help me find a place to rest
My head is pounding here beneath
the weight of this
I'm wishing that
And you know me
Oh you know me more than anyone
And when I hear your voice
everything I've done disappears from memory
Oh my darling come and save me
Tell me I'm the one you're dreaming of
Tell me that
You love me too
Wishing that you love me too
Wishing that you love me too
Wishing that you love me too
Wishing that you love me too
Wishing that I'm wishing that I'm wishing that.....
Saved
Lived a good life
Lived a sweet life
Oh, I've had the sun on my face
I have fallen to my knees and been amazed
I have walked beneath the brilliance of a perfect
sky
Oh I am saved
saved
Lived a good life
Lived a sweet life
Oh I have a beautiful friend
I am breathless from the mercy of a smile
I am standing on the brink of the most perfect love
Oh I am saved
saved
I am saved
I believe
I am not
going to be
like I was, I have changed
I am saved
I have bitten off the pieces that I did not want
I have torn them into tiny bits of rain
Oh the sun has dried those memories like I knew it
would
Oh I am saved
saved
I have bitten off the pieces that I did not want
I have bitten off the pieces that I did not want
Yes, I am saved
Ode To A Friend
I don't mind if
you stay longer
You have not been
any trouble
I don't want you
to go home yet
can you just stay
ten more minutes
You are my best friend
I don't know how I'd live
How I love you
every square inch
Love your brown eyes
your forgiveness
Don't go home now
It's past midnight
You can sleep here
we'll have breakfast
You are my greatest gift
I don't know how I'd live
You are my saving grace
You are my heart
my true friend
Shooting Horses
Don't worry, the sun is just around the corner and,
Don't worry, the downpour of unhappiness is over
I can see you now so clearly
crawling on your bloody knees
And everything you thought was going wrong
was really nothing
after all they're shooting horses
shooting horses somewhere else right now
Shooting horses
Don't worry the sun is shining on the ugliness
Don't worry there really is a God up in heaven
Skies so blue they'll break your heart
where angel's carry soldiers off
And everything you thought would pull you down
into the fiery depths of hell
They're shooting horses
shooting horses somewhere else right now
Shooting horses
You don't know how hard I tried to keep you well
to keep you well
You don't know how much I need you
lean on me
save yourself
Don't worry the sun is just around the corner
and
Don't worry the downpour of this heaviness is over
I can see us now so clearly laughing like we always did
And everything you thought was going wrong
was really nothing after all
they're shooting horses
shooting horses somewhere else right now
They're shooting horses
They're shooting horses
Weeds
I don't know why we have to die
I don't know a thing about this life
I know the punishment don't always fit the crime
But
I will get by
I will get by
I know this drinkin's gonna take me down
I feel the sin inside my body now
Oh mercy mercy forgive my lack of will
Oh I....
I'm just trying to get by
I'm just trying to get by
Don't want to go to hell
Can't hardly stand myself
I'm like a weed at the side of the road
Nothing but filthy air
gotta get out of here
I'm like a weed and you know how hard they can be to kill
but you can't kill me
No No No you can't kill me
I don't know why a broken heart
can hurt you more than having your hand cut off
I've come to save you but you're already gone
Oh I, I will get by
I will get by
hey hey hey
I will get by
I will get by
hey hey hey
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
get by get by
get by get by
get by get by
get by
I will get by
Hangin' By A Thread
When I cry, I close my eyes
And every tear falls down inside
And I pray with all my might
that I will find my heart in someone's arms
When I cry, cry
When I cry
When I am sad I think of every awful thing I ever did
Oh When I cry, there is no love,
No there is nothing that can comfort me enough
When I cry,
Cry, cry
The salt inside my body ruins everyone I come
close to
My hands are barely holding up my head
I am so tired of looking at my feet
Or all the secrets that I keep
My heart is barely hangin' by a thread
Hangin' by a thread
Oh look at me
At all I've done
I've lost so many things that I so dearly love
I lost my soul
I lost my pride
Oh I lost any hope of having a sweet life
So I cry,
Cry, cry
Oh the salt inside my body ruins everyone I come
close to
My hands are barely holding up my head
Oh I'm so tired of looking at my feet
And all the secrets that I keep
My heart is barely hangin' by a thread
Hangin' by a thread
I miss you all
I wish I was with you now
I wish I was
To Sir With Love (hidden track)
Those school girl days
Of telling tales and biting nails are gone
But in my mind
I know they will still live on and on
But how do you thank someone
who has taken you from crayons to perfume
It isn't easy but I'll try
If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky
in letters that would show a thousand feet high
To Sir with love
The time has come
for closing books and long last looks must end
And as I leave
I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong
and weak from strong
That's alot to learn
What, what can I give you in return
If you wanted the moon I would try to make the stars
but I would rather you let me give my heart
To Sir with love
But how do you thank someone
who has taken you from crayons to perfume
It isn't easy but I'll try
If you wanted the sky I would write
across the sky in letters that would show
a thousand feet high
To Sir with love
