he keeps to himself these days
doesn't have much to talk about
but he tells himself over and again
she'll
be here soon
emotions are all the same
or maybe just love and loneliness
but that enlightenment doesn't help at all
it
just makes it worse
since she's not around
that's when the sky cries for him
and the lightning strikes
he's mesmerized
oh super me,
you're all that i long to ...
tries not to think to much,
but everything makes him think of her
when
reason escapes him
love takes its place
he's got a frame of mind
which captures the bigger picture
but that enlightenment
doesn't help at all
it just makes it worse
since she's not around
that's when the sky cries for him
and the lightning strikes
he's mesmerized
...
if the end of the world
came crashing down on him
he'd welcome it with
open arms
like an old friend
and oh super me,
you're all that i long to be
searching the skies and
to my surprise
we always end up
in each others' arms
you help me to disarm
as i fall apart
you help me to start
again
again ...
and that's when the sky cries for him
and the lightning strikes him down
with
open arms
like an old friend
06. Never Happy
can't help but think of you
when i can't sit still
caught up in cancerous
thoughts
all the same
in everything, endeavor you do
you never know what to say
you can't
help it, oh
you're never happy, no
you're never happy
you say you never know what to do
you can't help what you say
follows
your forte, oh
you're never happy, no
you're never happy
understated want
recoiled and trembling
inside you're sixteen wheels
and
growing, growing
07. Milo 7
she always trembles
at the blissfully depressed
desiring the desireless
she's
always searching
for herself in someone else
lonely when she's all she needs
she'll cry a thousand paper tears
and throw down her kerosene of vacant
fears
we're all the match wishing we were the flame
we represent each moment in every day
he always trembles
at the thought of getting old
running out of time
and ideas
he's always waiting
for the moment to be right
impatient when it's always there
he'll take a thousand empty pills
and swallow the void that they'll never
fill
he's got to break out
no matter what the cost
we represent all the ones who feel lost ...
cuz we're all the same worn, empty cup
we're never content, but we never
give up
jumping off cliffs, opening our arms
and hoping to fly ...
running around the same old track,
never getting
any closer,
but we never look back
we're just trying to leave behind
something beautiful before we've gone
08. Penning the Penultimate
i'm a lot more than they think
but with the radio on
i try to go back
to sleep
when all the world's posers
blow smoke in my face
i think of the love that i can make
but i struggle
so hard
for each breath that i take
i get so sick that i can hardly speak
but with my head full of pills
i
try to go back to sleep
when you're so sad
but you force up a grin anyway
it's hard not to feel fake
but i struggle
so hard
for each breath that i take
maybe someday i'll be at the top
and with my heada in my hands
i'll try to make it all stop
every time i find love
i choke so hard that for weeks
my body aches
but i struggle so hard
for each breath that i take
be what you are
when the world throws you
down at its feet
at least
you can know
you've got it straight
we all struggle so hard
for each breath that we take
09. Reverie to Chanticleer
i came to see you
but you weren't there
i waited eight hours
and
no one seemed to care
when all the world is fast asleep
a little devil into my heart creeps
he
sings a song into my inner ear
he sings a reverie to chanticleer
i tried to call you
but you wouldn't answer the phone
i waited eight
hours
in my room all alone
when all the world is fast asleep
a little devil into my heart creeps
he
sings a song into my inner ear
he sings a reverie to chanticleer
when every angel's lost its will to fly
and every
mother's lost her strength to cry
a little devil into my heart creeps
a little devil in me, fast asleep
