One day I’ll have a heart
And you’ll be a part of it
Stir in your love and let it sit
I’ll prosper into a new generation
And we’ll all produce such a sensation
We just pack up our things
And move to Colorado Springs
Where everyone sings
Remembering what we departed (from)
Before all of this hipster shit started
People had a voice
Not just a choice
It’s about time we woke up
To a new porcelain coffee cup
A new hammer to break our fast
To help us forget about the past
And make our generation last
Sunday
Man
Tonight I met a man
Who sang songs of great depression
Happenings and other things
There were dead men on the highway side
That sang just like the man I met
But never shook his hand
Who sang songs of great depression
Happenings and other things
There were dead men on the highway side
That sang just like the man I met
But never shook his hand
Fidel Castro
So you wanna know if I ever get upset
Knowing I can’t talk to you about anything
Wanna know if I ever really cared
Or ever got scared
Of the day you would go away
And never be back to say
Everything that you said the wrong way
You don’t wanna know my insides
But you refuse not to perfect my outs
And you’d slam it all
In to my face
Because it was all at the wrong pace
For you
Who
Never gave a damn never had a plan
To see me grow
Never spoke the words and sucked up all my pride
The day you took that stride towards perfection
And tomorrow will be hard and you will be so far
Tomorrow you are leaving and I’m gonna feel like shit
Knowing I could have stopped all of it
So tell me have these city lights shown you anything
About me you never knew
Just like that German brew
Helped you find your way out of my mother’s heart
And tear our family apart
So tell me does it sting
To say you’re everything I’ll never be
But come one on and take one look at me
Erase that awful memory
Paint a new picture to see
Tomorrow you are leaving and I’m gonna feel like shit
Knowing I could have stopped all of it
Don’t leave me this way
Knowing I can’t talk to you about anything
Wanna know if I ever really cared
Or ever got scared
Of the day you would go away
And never be back to say
Everything that you said the wrong way
You don’t wanna know my insides
But you refuse not to perfect my outs
And you’d slam it all
In to my face
Because it was all at the wrong pace
For you
Who
Never gave a damn never had a plan
To see me grow
Never spoke the words and sucked up all my pride
The day you took that stride towards perfection
And tomorrow will be hard and you will be so far
Tomorrow you are leaving and I’m gonna feel like shit
Knowing I could have stopped all of it
So tell me have these city lights shown you anything
About me you never knew
Just like that German brew
Helped you find your way out of my mother’s heart
And tear our family apart
So tell me does it sting
To say you’re everything I’ll never be
But come one on and take one look at me
Erase that awful memory
Paint a new picture to see
Tomorrow you are leaving and I’m gonna feel like shit
Knowing I could have stopped all of it
Don’t leave me this way
Saturday
Waiting For Eternal Midnight
Everybody say’s you can’t you can’t you can’t
And that your heart’s not right
Because you’re strange and beautiful
Something’s gotta be wrong
So you play all day with your wooden elephants
Sitting in the stair closet
Waiting to se if anyone notices
That your heart’s turning to rust
You walk alone on the bloodstained streets
Looking for a ladder to take you higher than you are right now
But still waiting for your exit cue
And people turn to dust
Try to stay in sync with the schoolyard kids
Pretty soon your way off beat
You take one for the team
And then two and then five
Life’s harmony is lost
Something’s gotta be wrong
You’re a modern day Monroe
Living in a Hepburn world
Too busy waiting for your exit cue
To see the starlight guiding you
This is the part you can’t you can’t you can’t
Really think through
Because you think their right
And your hearts just not right
This is the part you wish you wish you wish
You wore gold plated armor to sleep
So the nightmares wouldn’t bite
Today’s the last day you’re heart’s not right
Cause you’re so damn strange and beautiful
And it’s about time you took flight
And that your heart’s not right
Because you’re strange and beautiful
Something’s gotta be wrong
So you play all day with your wooden elephants
Sitting in the stair closet
Waiting to se if anyone notices
That your heart’s turning to rust
You walk alone on the bloodstained streets
Looking for a ladder to take you higher than you are right now
But still waiting for your exit cue
And people turn to dust
Try to stay in sync with the schoolyard kids
Pretty soon your way off beat
You take one for the team
And then two and then five
Life’s harmony is lost
Something’s gotta be wrong
You’re a modern day Monroe
Living in a Hepburn world
Too busy waiting for your exit cue
To see the starlight guiding you
This is the part you can’t you can’t you can’t
Really think through
Because you think their right
And your hearts just not right
This is the part you wish you wish you wish
You wore gold plated armor to sleep
So the nightmares wouldn’t bite
Today’s the last day you’re heart’s not right
Cause you’re so damn strange and beautiful
And it’s about time you took flight
Very Fine Lines
My shrink has told me so many times
It’s now I gotta read the fine lines
But lately that’s so hard to do
There’s a knife or something
Stabbing into my back
Juts out my stomach
Right through the heart I lack
Cause he stopped me back there
Under that shack
If only I would have known
My heart would soon crack
Lines are boundaries varied in size
All this time I though nothing
Could dominate my eyes
Lines create limits and rules by which to follow
Although these days it’s hard
I just gotta swallow
The pain that made those lines disappear
And I think it’s here
Where I tell my shrink
I can’t read between the fines lines
Cause to him nothing mattered
And the lines were so scattered
Upon the wall
It’s like they never really existed at all
It’s now I gotta read the fine lines
But lately that’s so hard to do
There’s a knife or something
Stabbing into my back
Juts out my stomach
Right through the heart I lack
Cause he stopped me back there
Under that shack
If only I would have known
My heart would soon crack
Lines are boundaries varied in size
All this time I though nothing
Could dominate my eyes
Lines create limits and rules by which to follow
Although these days it’s hard

The pain that made those lines disappear
And I think it’s here
Where I tell my shrink

Cause to him nothing mattered
And the lines were so scattered

It’s like they never really existed at all
Us vs. Us
I’ve just gotta get out of here
Nothing’s really quite clear
We’re all just floating around in space
Cause we’re so fucking tired of this place
Nothing makes sense and nothing is pure
And our doctors haven’t yet found a cure
For our sickness and our deprivation
Cause here it’s nothing but damnation
We’ve all got heavy hearts
Encasing superficial desires
That we hang above the steel plated mantle
Just so someone sees
Our father pins up his plaques
While mom runs the tracks
And this regret on their backs
Is enough to rip their slacks
We don’t make sense and our money’s for sure
Too little to get out the door
Wear our emotions on cyberspace
Cause we’re so fucking tired of this place
And I hope you saw that flaw on her face
We don’t make sense and our money’s for sure
Too little to get out the door
She is tired and he wants more
He is broken and she is poor
Left her regrets on his bedroom door
And nothing really matters anymore
We are fragile and we are bleak
Not enough emotion to get through a week
It’s wrong that we seek
And if this is home
Why are we so alone
Nothing’s really quite clear
We’re all just floating around in space
Cause we’re so fucking tired of this place
Nothing makes sense and nothing is pure
And our doctors haven’t yet found a cure
For our sickness and our deprivation
Cause here it’s nothing but damnation
We’ve all got heavy hearts
Encasing superficial desires
That we hang above the steel plated mantle
Just so someone sees
Our father pins up his plaques
While mom runs the tracks
And this regret on their backs
Is enough to rip their slacks
We don’t make sense and our money’s for sure
Too little to get out the door
Wear our emotions on cyberspace
Cause we’re so fucking tired of this place
And I hope you saw that flaw on her face
We don’t make sense and our money’s for sure
Too little to get out the door

He is broken and she is poor
Left her regrets on his bedroom door
And nothing really matters anymore
We are fragile and we are bleak
Not enough emotion to get through a week
It’s wrong that we seek
And if this is home
Why are we so alone
The Lamb Who's Helping Me Become Intact
I’ve been roped into the world of selfish scars
Then I stared into white light
And I was shot out into reality
But there so pretty
So pretty, like you
I wish I was a pretty little scar
That you could wear upon your heart
And never let me fade
Never let me fade, fade, fade….
I swore I was in denial I knew I was
Because they’re just so damn pretty
Razor to skin is a remedy
And it’s pretty
Society deems ungodly
I deem selfishly beautiful
Selfish and beautiful
Soon later I escaped to a paradise land of trust to be abused
And hibernation from fear, hibernation from fear
That fear hit my pretty little face and revealed my pretty little scars
Oh my scars
Then I started train hopping in tranquility
And I found a lamb, found a lamb
The lamb thinks my scars are remedy
A pretty little remedy
I don’t want a pretty little remedy
For the common cold
And my porcelain skin
Then I stared into white light
And I was shot out into reality
But there so pretty
So pretty, like you
I wish I was a pretty little scar
That you could wear upon your heart
And never let me fade
Never let me fade, fade, fade….
I swore I was in denial I knew I was
Because they’re just so damn pretty
Razor to skin is a remedy
And it’s pretty
Society deems ungodly
I deem selfishly beautiful
Selfish and beautiful
Soon later I escaped to a paradise land of trust to be abused
And hibernation from fear, hibernation from fear
That fear hit my pretty little face and revealed my pretty little scars
Oh my scars
Then I started train hopping in tranquility
And I found a lamb, found a lamb
The lamb thinks my scars are remedy
A pretty little remedy
I don’t want a pretty little remedy
For the common cold

Transparencies
So tell me is it immoral to break this glass I wait for you behind
And cut out the piece where your fingerprints lay
Where is the hand
Oh where is the hand to accompany them
So tell me is it immoral to break this glass I wait for you behind
Breaking my bones so you’ll filter all the pieces
Am I biting just to break my jaw
Or is my jaw breaking because I am biting
Since when does everything break
And give you permission to watch behind the fingerprinted glass
It is impossible to break this glass the way you broke my heart
And cut out the piece where your fingerprints lay
Where is the hand
Oh where is the hand to accompany them
So tell me is it immoral to break this glass I wait for you behind
Breaking my bones so you’ll filter all the pieces
Am I biting just to break my jaw
Or is my jaw breaking because I am biting
Since when does everything break
And give you permission to watch behind the fingerprinted glass
It is impossible to break this glass the way you broke my heart
The Michaelangelo Fisherman
Close your eyes oh, sweet child
He’ll cast the net soon
And save you from a love too mild
You’ve had him all the while
That red lipstick silhouette
Sat on his skin
And you thought you’d never win
Be patient
Just like love and the very best kind
Just like love and the very best kind
Some day, someday he’ll ride along the coast
And spot that heart you love to boast
Cast the net for you sweet child
And save you from a love too mild
And you’ll travel ashore
Leaving everything behind
In that reef where your heart would grind against the rocks
It just doesn’t matter anymore
It just doesn’t matter
You’ll be baptized again
In the perfume that he loved
The worst skin will glide off of your bones
That will fall off in turn
Your eyes will pop out
And your stomach will burn
As he discards all your muscles
And slices the half of his heart that belongs to you
Then comes the paintbrush he’ll use
To paint you brand new
All over again
This is the day
This is the day that you win
You’ve had him all the while
That red lipstick silhouette
Sat on his skin
And you thought you’d never win
He’ll cast the net soon
And save you from a love too mild
You’ve had him all the while
That red lipstick silhouette
Sat on his skin
And you thought you’d never win
Be patient
Just like love and the very best kind
Just like love and the very best kind
Some day, someday he’ll ride along the coast
And spot that heart you love to boast
Cast the net for you sweet child
And save you from a love too mild
And you’ll travel ashore
Leaving everything behind
In that reef where your heart would grind against the rocks
It just doesn’t matter anymore
It just doesn’t matter
You’ll be baptized again
In the perfume that he loved
The worst skin will glide off of your bones
That will fall off in turn
Your eyes will pop out
And your stomach will burn
As he discards all your muscles
And slices the half of his heart that belongs to you
Then comes the paintbrush he’ll use

And you thought you’d never win
Shiny Pictures
They gave, gave and they took
Every single decent page from my book
But you glued them back, glued them back into place
Cause it’s about time we picked up the pace
You’re my most favorite face
It all makes sense
It all makes sense
All these years
I’d been fighting my fears
I never acknowledged that my biggest one
Is falling out of love with you
Cause I’m far too deeply in
And it’ll take more than a whim
To get me out
Every single decent page from my book
But you glued them back, glued them back into place
Cause it’s about time we picked up the pace
You’re my most favorite face
It all makes sense
It all makes sense
All these years
I’d been fighting my fears
I never acknowledged that my biggest one
Is falling out of love with you
Cause I’m far too deeply in
And it’ll take more than a whim
To get me out
Secondhand Heart
This is the way it is and has been
I call out and I’m unanswered
Just like an ill tempered husband
My words are knives
And oh, those heroin eyes
I swear it’s penetrating
If only just tonight I could stop it
And exalt the chief
If only just tonight I could see it
And report it to the chief
Dentistry is failing these days
And now I breathe smoke
Orthodontics is weakening right now
My jaw can’t keep it in
Damn smoke damn smoke
I want him to be like her
If only just tonight I could stop it
And exalt the chief
If only just tonight I could see it
And report it to the chief
My heart’s lost in my mouth
And she can’t even see my black lungs
I’ll give up before she does
But I’ll love her just the same
After all God gave her my name
I call out and I’m unanswered
Just like an ill tempered husband
My words are knives
And oh, those heroin eyes
I swear it’s penetrating
If only just tonight I could stop it
And exalt the chief
If only just tonight I could see it
And report it to the chief
Dentistry is failing these days
And now I breathe smoke
Orthodontics is weakening right now
My jaw can’t keep it in
Damn smoke damn smoke
I want him to be like her
If only just tonight I could stop it
And exalt the chief
If only just tonight I could see it
And report it to the chief
My heart’s lost in my mouth
And she can’t even see my black lungs
I’ll give up before she does
But I’ll love her just the same
After all God gave her my name
One For Your Checklist Sir Daniel
I built myself up
So you wouldn’t break yourself down
I steered clear of my failure
And you gave into fear
All I ever really wanted
All I ever really wanted
Was to love you
And make your heart pure
All I ever really needed
All I ever really needed
Was your love
So my heart could be pure
You brought out the best in me Sir Daniel
Don’t take this to heart
But I think this is where
We curse
And fall apart
All we ever really were
All we ever really were
Was perfect
Our hearts so pure
And eyes full of hope
But lungs of smoke
If you find dissatisfaction in being the Duke of Whittington
Sir Daniel
If you find dissatisfaction in the mending of your heart
You can borrow mine
You can borrow mine
After all it’s quite pure
Don’t look at me like this Sir Daniel
Or I might just fall apart
And add a failure to my empty checklist
A failure to my empty checklist
Damn it my empty check list
So you wouldn’t break yourself down
I steered clear of my failure
And you gave into fear
All I ever really wanted
All I ever really wanted
Was to love you
And make your heart pure
All I ever really needed
All I ever really needed
Was your love
So my heart could be pure
You brought out the best in me Sir Daniel
Don’t take this to heart
But I think this is where
We curse
And fall apart
All we ever really were
All we ever really were
Was perfect
Our hearts so pure

If you find dissatisfaction in the mending of your heart
You can borrow mine
You can borrow mine
After all it’s quite pure
Don’t look at me like this Sir Daniel
Or I might just fall apart
And add a failure to my empty checklist
A failure to my empty checklist
Damn it my empty check list
Marrow and Flesh
My jaw line is broken
Elbows of ash
And words cut like axes
When the lady comes
Tell her to clean my bones first
Their suffocating, oh God my bones are suffocating
Make sure she cleans between the crevices
Where bone meets flesh
Cause I’ve been keepin’ it in
My skin needs to bathe in pure fluids
And my pores must swallow it in
Only to purge it out
Along with all this glass
That’s been blocking my bloodstream
And all functions of my heart
Before she leaves make her construct my jaw line
In the shape of a heart
My heart
Don’t let her touch my heroin eyes
I’ll polish them myself
Don’t you dare show her the X that marks the spot
Where my acid heart’s switch is
I think I’d be better
Turning it off
Elbows of ash
And words cut like axes
When the lady comes
Tell her to clean my bones first
Their suffocating, oh God my bones are suffocating
Make sure she cleans between the crevices
Where bone meets flesh
Cause I’ve been keepin’ it in
My skin needs to bathe in pure fluids
And my pores must swallow it in
Only to purge it out
Along with all this glass

Houdini Minus The Escape
She turned the corner
And it was magic so tragic
It couldn’t beat the taste
Of magnet between the lips
Bye bye, black eyes
It’s about time you’re hung
And taken off the smoking grill
Cause those glances’ll soon kill
Sayonara long face
You’re no longer a basket case
He’s got you drunk on his
Aged, amber whiskey
Hey, ecstasy hips
He’s got the lips you need
And lungs made brand new
To suck the living dead right out of you
Your heart can stop yearning
Bodies are burning
And tongues are lusting
This joint’s yours for the busting
And it’s printed in the hieroglyphics
This is more than just physics
Reaction time’s fast and speeding up more
Fair trade I’m sure
Magic so tragic
For a heart that was plastic
And it was magic so tragic
It couldn’t beat the taste
Of magnet between the lips
Bye bye, black eyes
It’s about time you’re hung
And taken off the smoking grill
Cause those glances’ll soon kill
Sayonara long face
You’re no longer a basket case
He’s got you drunk on his

I’m holding you up with the best intentions
Holding you up by our connections
I’m holding you up Johnny boy
Fall, fall a little more
With the very best intentions
One day you’ll smile Johnny boy
I’ll see it sometime soon

And you’ll breathe it sometime soon
Hold faith and I will too
Hold faith as I hold you

Heartbreak In Hygiene
They say, they say a dog’s mouth
Is cleaner than a human’s
I am no taxonomist
So who am I to classify life?
But I gotta admit I agree
Humans have mouths
Full of teeth
We use to bite and bite
At people’s hearts
And in places unseen
And the right side of the brain
Humans have mouths
With a tongue of deception
That wander off to uncharted territory
Where they don’t even belong
Humans have mouths
Connected to an esophagus
That leads down to the voice box
We use to damn and curse
All in spite of the humans who
Unlike dogs
Who have mouths just as filthy
Who have mouths just as filthy
Who have mouths just as filthy as you and me
Is cleaner than a human’s
I am no taxonomist
So who am I to classify life?
But I gotta admit I agree
Humans have mouths
Full of teeth
We use to bite and bite
At people’s hearts
And in places unseen
And the right side of the brain
Humans have mouths
With a tongue of deception
That wander off to uncharted territory
Where they don’t even belong
Humans have mouths
Connected to an esophagus
That leads down to the voice box
We use to damn and curse
All in spite of the humans who
Unlike dogs
Who have mouths just as filthy
Who have mouths just as filthy
Who have mouths just as filthy as you and me
Food Poisoning
Who made my bones whole?
And wore my sins clean?
I’ve gotta be honest, I really can’t see
It’s raw all so raw
Raw like the heart I ate last night
Fake like the love I swallowed with fright
Diagnosed with food poisoning
New prescription in hand
The pills go down smooth
And fit right into the groove
Of my ever slowing bloodstream
Then it all went black
And the taxonomist had a heart attack
Cause the side effects say blindness
But he never saw itAnd no one ever will
Cause we all ate a raw heart that night
Learned the love we swallowed with fright
Was the very last time we’d use all our might
To conjure up some sight
Who made my bones whole?
Who wore my sins clean?
Now I’m living off pure dream
And wore my sins clean?
I’ve gotta be honest, I really can’t see
It’s raw all so raw
Raw like the heart I ate last night
Fake like the love I swallowed with fright
Diagnosed with food poisoning
New prescription in hand
The pills go down smooth
And fit right into the groove
Of my ever slowing bloodstream
Then it all went black
And the taxonomist had a heart attack
Cause the side effects say blindness
But he never saw itAnd no one ever will
Cause we all ate a raw heart that night
Learned the love we swallowed with fright
Was the very last time we’d use all our might
To conjure up some sight
Who made my bones whole?
Who wore my sins clean?
Now I’m living off pure dream
Crying Out: Jaws Of Life
If we had it made again, if we had it all
I would sit with you until you cried
And catch you before you fall
If only we had it made again
We would have it all
We would walk through villages and tear down cities
And remind ourselves of the time
We found dinosaur bones by the Great Wall
Everything was so perfect and everything was so clear
When I could touch the stars
While we chased red sports cars
You touched me and I touched you
If anything I felt brand new
With you I was so free
When that dark film swallowed your eyes
You lost all ability to see
Now this earth it is shaking
I’m breaking oh dear Lord I’m breaking
And I’m Yours for the taking
Will you accept these battle scars that they’ve left
And make me feel brand new (all over again)
I’m breaking oh dear Lord I’m breaking
And I’m Yours for the taking
I would sit with you until you cried
And catch you before you fall
If only we had it made again
We would have it all
We would walk through villages and tear down cities
And remind ourselves of the time
We found dinosaur bones by the Great Wall
Everything was so perfect and everything was so clear
When I could touch the stars
While we chased red sports cars
You touched me and I touched you
If anything I felt brand new
With you I was so free
When that dark film swallowed your eyes
You lost all ability to see
Now this earth it is shaking
I’m breaking oh dear Lord I’m breaking
And I’m Yours for the taking
Will you accept these battle scars that they’ve left
And make me feel brand new (all over again)
I’m breaking oh dear Lord I’m breaking
And I’m Yours for the taking
Cold Fire
I never really needed to look like the people
And I never really wanted to exist
Nor be a suicidal wreck
Until I played with fire
I bit fire and fire bit me back
Bit me back cold and silver
Fire doesn’t stop biting until it’s made a scar
And then some
So I had to kill her
Call it homicide
Cause I’m not killing myself
I’m killing the girl with the magazine heart
Found on international newsstands
I’m killing the girl with the coffee bean eyes
Ground until liquid
I’m killing the girl who plays with the cold, silver fire
But I won’t kill her scars
No, won’t kill her scars
And I never really wanted to exist
Nor be a suicidal wreck
Until I played with fire
I bit fire and fire bit me back
Bit me back cold and silver
Fire doesn’t stop biting until it’s made a scar
And then some
So I had to kill her
Call it homicide
Cause I’m not killing myself
I’m killing the girl with the magazine heart
Found on international newsstands
I’m killing the girl with the coffee bean eyes
Ground until liquid
I’m killing the girl who plays with the cold, silver fire
But I won’t kill her scars
No, won’t kill her scars
Circle Into a Square
This time I just don’t care
And I’m giving up
I’m going out with a bang
Cause I know how to tell a lie
And seal it with red lipstick venom
To cover up the perforated lines
My knees are getting ashy
My blood is wearing thin
And your eyes glued shut
Just won’t let me in
You were the best I ever knew
You were the best all until now
But this time I just don’t care
And I’m giving up
I can only pull you so far
And work you so hard
Until the trick is old
The last fortune is told
Call it reverse leprosy
Call it homicide
Cause the more of this I kill
The more my body reassembles
And the glue begins to harden
And I’m giving up
I’m going out with a bang
Cause I know how to tell a lie
And seal it with red lipstick venom
To cover up the perforated lines
My knees are getting ashy
My blood is wearing thin
And your eyes glued shut
Just won’t let me in
You were the best I ever knew
You were the best all until now
But this time I just don’t care
And I’m giving up
I can only pull you so far
And work you so hard
Until the trick is old
The last fortune is told
Call it reverse leprosy
Call it homicide
Cause the more of this I kill
The more my body reassembles
And the glue begins to harden
Child's Play
They’re telling us the faster and faster we pedal
The further we’ll get
My legs have been moving
For days on end
And my feet’ll soon fall off
I’ve seen nothing yet
And I’m really quite lonely
Cause all I’ve got inside me
Is a heavy heart and a jar of pills
All these academic carbs got to me
And now my arteries harden
‘Til they explode, explode, explode
Ashes so dry
Into this sky so grey
I’m ready to trade in my tricycle
For a pair or wings
And fly so alive
Out of this city so dead
This city’s so dead
The further we’ll get
My legs have been moving
For days on end
And my feet’ll soon fall off
I’ve seen nothing yet
And I’m really quite lonely
Cause all I’ve got inside me
Is a heavy heart and a jar of pills
All these academic carbs got to me
And now my arteries harden
‘Til they explode, explode, explode
Ashes so dry
Into this sky so grey
I’m ready to trade in my tricycle
For a pair or wings
And fly so alive
Out of this city so dead
This city’s so dead
Broken Jaw Chronicles
Lonely nights in somber waiting
And my tears couldn’t keep hesitating
My sanity’s up for debating
I can’t believe I kissed a broken jaw
Full of vengeance and wrath
I speak on my own behalf
To this day I can’t believe I say
I kissed a broken jaw
Practically breaking my own law
Lonely nights in somber waiting
In that page of my book
In all honesty I burnt the pages
And forgot about them all
Oh, God I’m sorry I kissed a broken jaw
Before I fixed my own
I’m sorry God just give me wings to fly me home
And my tears couldn’t keep hesitating
My sanity’s up for debating
I can’t believe I kissed a broken jaw
Full of vengeance and wrath
I speak on my own behalf
To this day I can’t believe I say
I kissed a broken jaw
Practically breaking my own law
Lonely nights in somber waiting
In that page of my book
In all honesty I burnt the pages
And forgot about them all
Oh, God I’m sorry I kissed a broken jaw
Before I fixed my own
I’m sorry God just give me wings to fly me home
Acoustic Heart
Don’t lose your grip oh Lord
Don’t lose your grip
Oh Good One you are complete
Complete us now and we’ll forever sing a song so sweet
And we’ll fall at your feet
Cause with your love, nothing can compete
Hold us up now
And we’ll fly oh so free
As we soar with the lost ones
The lost ones we are and will be
Don’t lose your grip oh Lord
But let us fly endlessly free
The lost ones we are and will be
We need your restoration
Served with immaculate hands
So carry out your plans
Just don’t lose your grip
We’re falling quickly
But winning so quick
As long as you’ll hold us dear Lord
In your splendorous womb
We’ll be born again soon
Refocus our eyes
And remove our disguise
Glue between bones and stitches to skin
After all we’re quick to win
We’ll be born again soon
The lost ones we are and will be
Until we’re born again soon
Our hearts they will finally see
Don’t lose your grip
Oh Good One you are complete
Complete us now and we’ll forever sing a song so sweet
And we’ll fall at your feet
Cause with your love, nothing can compete
Hold us up now
And we’ll fly oh so free
As we soar with the lost ones
The lost ones we are and will be
Don’t lose your grip oh Lord
But let us fly endlessly free
The lost ones we are and will be
We need your restoration
Served with immaculate hands
So carry out your plans
Just don’t lose your grip
We’re falling quickly
But winning so quick
As long as you’ll hold us dear Lord
In your splendorous womb
We’ll be born again soon
Refocus our eyes
And remove our disguise
Glue between bones and stitches to skin
After all we’re quick to win
We’ll be born again soon
The lost ones we are and will be
Until we’re born again soon
Our hearts they will finally see
