You came and saw and conquered And what do you have to show? A thousand years of fighting, brave warrior But is an empty heart fair trade for a full ego? Now go and see and conquer

Savannah 04:39
Oh, take me back, Savannah These days just go so slow Every scene repeating It seems there's nothing new to show Oh, fill me in, Savannah There's so much I don't know Lead me in the hand by the hand In the water, by the toe That's where you'll find me Face down on the beach With birds circling overhead, circling overhead Back dancing from the dead And the moon turning Turning overhead, turning overhead That's where we'll meet Humina Oh, take your place, Savannah Of the figures in my head In every song I've sung In every book I've ever read Oh, I take back, Savannah Every word I've said There is some purpose To this path on which we're led It's where the lines meet Somewhere in between With waves crashing over me Crashing over me There's some blurry sight to see And the sun rising Rising in the east Fucking rising in the east Rising over me Humina Oh, Savannah Savannah won't tell me what this means

Carry on, oh, little ones Let not the world erase you away Make of it what you will, just keep your color Don't let yourselves fade to gray You don't have to copy what you see Please don't go that way Keep your color, don't fade to gray Keep your laughter, don't let it fade away Carry on, oh, little ones Let not the world erase you away Follow my lead, I'll keep you colored I'll not let you fade to gray Climb up onto my shoulders, I know you'd love to Look around at the world that surrounds you You are not confined to gray Don't you ever fade that way Just please, please, please don't go that way (Carry on, oh, little ones) (Don't ever fade to gray/Don't let it fade away) (Climb up onto my shoulders)

Hold on, hold on, don't run to me just yet Did you know I'm a piece of shit? Selfish and ignorant, stubborn and belligerent Get used to it But hold on, hold on, don't run from me just yet Which set of arms do you really see fit to run to? Now hold on, hold on, don't hate the world just yet Even if it's full of shit Suck it in, swallow it, tell yourself you're used to it You'll get used to it some day So come on, come on, let's step out for a bit Out among the rest of the miserable shit

Torch Song 02:56
Oh, you got me the wrong way around Oh, you got me the wrong way around I say as I turn away We get days just to watch them go by Swim these rivers just to run them dry Oh, we got things the wrong way around Oh, we got things the wrong way around You say as you turn to leave We get these hearts just to feel them bleed Get love just to know when it leaves So you run, run, run, run (It'll never be enough) Set the world on fire And it'll be just another torch song

Get out of the cold, it's warm inside Come rest your soul, come into the light It's dark out there! Can you even see? Well, neither can we, but at least we're happy I'd rather be unable to see In the darkness than be stricken blind by the bright side But god damn, god damn, is this darkness dark Oh, hush, you don't mean that! It's better this way It's better warm and dark than cold, dark, and gray Oh, how can you say that? How can you really Welcome such sadness? At least we're happy I'd rather be unable to see In the darkness than be stricken blind by the bright side But god damn, god damn is this darkness deep If our parents lied about Santa And our pastors were wrong about God Then how can we be sure about anything? And what can we believe if we know that we're not? I'd rather be unable to see In the darkness than be stricken blind by the bright side But god damn, god damn is this darkness all-encompassing

You can keep me in your pocket Or leave me on the side of the road Anyway you go You can go ahead and tease me Just lead me along Sing songs of my wrongs You can keep me in your pocket Or leave on the railway line Counting those county lines Noble sacrificer, your paradise earned Take heed of these words Noble sacrificer, your paradise burned Take heed of these words Darling, your fangs are showing The street has merged with the sky At long last! Hallelujah! Your side's same as mine At long last! Hallelujah! To wit: a dagger in your side At long last! Hallelujah! Sing his praises and fear his gaze Sing her praises and fear her gaze

One more video, one more game Today can't end this way Sitting alone in the same room I've been in all day Not again One more empty attempt Tonight can't end this way It's got to be worth it in the end It can't all just be empty, can it? It can't all just be in vain Several hours, several days What's the difference if it all feels the same? It can't all just fly by this way Please tell me it won't end this way

My face with no eyes My face with no nose My face with no mouth And no teeth or tongue inside My face with no skin With no flesh hid within My head with no face at all My body with no arms My body with no nose My head with no body at all What am, who am I without my face? What am, who am I without my body? What am, who am I without my mouth or teeth or tongue inside? And what am, who am I without my eyes? I am lost inside I am stuck inside my head Can you help me find My legs, my arms, my mouth, my nose, my eyes? A head is not a home and I am lost deep deep and stuck inside What am, who am I without my face? What am, who am I without my body? What am, who am I without my mouth or teeth or tongue inside? And what am, who am I without my eyes? What am, who am I without my eyes? What am, who am I?

Keep it all together Keep it under lock and key Keep it all in postcards From places that you've never been Keep it all in letters Letters that you'll never write Keep it all from lovers Kiss them, tell them all will be alright When they're gone, leave no trace Of what you kept away Keep it from your girlfriend Keep it from your wife so sweet asleep tonight Keep it from your parents And anyone who would ever try To see through you, I'm see through You see right through to the other side Tell me all your secrets I might even tell you some of mine I'm feeling kind of nervous Can a mother fucker breathe? No, I'll be fine I think I'm turning into a stranger Before your very eyes

Sundress 04:10
I lie in bed and dreamt I never said that I lie in bed deaf in muffled screams My screams, my screams, my screams This part doesn't really mean anything You in your sundress I can't help but smile and pretend This isn't such a big mess You say give it up, but I think I might give in Rosalind Lutece If it's a sin, I guess that it's a sin We start to undress Reshape our flesh, we are estranged again

Derbener 03:33
I need you here I need your care Oh please by here Speak to my softly, I need your care I need you near I need your warmth Oh please be near Hold me softly, I need your warmth I need you, dear I need your love Oh please, dear, be near Kiss me softly, I need your love Kiss me softly, I need your love

I went into the dead land Unattributable to the sand Unattributable like you I went into the dead air Pa just gave me a death cold stare Yeah, and ma was there too So don't wait for me Too long Oh, Bethany Be gone And I will find you in water You aren't their favorite daughter But I'm your favorite fool And if I said I started a fire Would you call me a liar? Well, good, 'cause that's a lie But, still we should run from here Just you and I Oh, we should run from here While we're still burning inside If there's some kind of love, dear Found in these wastes here Then it was worth the time And if there's a place right Here with you under the moonlight Then, baby, we'll be fine Ooh, it feels like a mighty long time Baybaeiough, it feels like a mighty long tim
