treacherous life make light! if i had hands id holdup high my lofty dreams and my alibis real namebut ive no strength so i toss and i turn and i spit inthe urn theres a ghost in your eye there is someonethat knows more than i but im quick to deny

LITTLE SECRETSwhen i came down the dawn poured into me ishook em up the walls came crumbling my thinskin trembling with these salty wounds my stolengold inside the emperors tomb now paintingrainbows on my ugly face i built this cardboardneighborhoods disgrace but i ascend and servemy feverish need within the confines of suchchemistry its the way i see everything i need its

no way to be let this be our little secret no oneneeds to know were feeling higher and higherand higher but i feel alive, oh, i feel it in me up andup we keep on climbing higher and higher andhigher my face blew up at such a casual sight thesmattered colors of ecstatic fright the rush aboveme to oblivion outlining wet sidewalks in halogenoh, have you ever felt so goddamned strong?how come it takes some people so damn long?he turned to squeeze the lemon juice to rain thecitrus drawing out the scene in stains watch the

basin drain as your lifeline wanes and you cantexplain as your friends complain youve caused allthis pain and you proudly shame your poor familysname mother, i can tell what youve been thinkingstaring at the stars on your ceiling thinking oncethere was power that you were wielding but nowive hit the mark, staring at the dark and i cannothelp but ignore the people staring at my scars

and crown come lay with me in the ground

LET YOUR LOVE GROW TALLin pastures blue and green ill follow you and youllfollow me my fabrics mystery ill wave your loyalty inthe freezing breeze so desperately oh, and anotherone comes down i think i see my life he bows allslyly and gentle-like hes never had the right butive never lived without his sad and jealous eyes oh,and another one comes down but its the thoughtthat counts no, quiet minds dont know their worththey know not what to do so ill pray for them

and ill pray for you till my face turns blue oh, andanother one comes down theyd say, let your lovegrow tall tall as the grass in the meadow? or thedunes on the shore? like the buildings in the city?and your children on the floor? like the darknessin the forest? like my frightened worried eyes? orthe roots in the soil? are these skies telling lies?

nobody knows you the way you know you but ithink i do well, i thought i knew yeah, i thought iknew between these walls her bark-stripped limbscast shadows frighteningly tall i slow to a crawl ijump and i yell and she hears nothing at all stay,stay the same because everything else will changeand ill always be to blame so, please just staythe same the current has pulled me in the tidehas reached my chin my seaweed tickled skin justlet the water win and freezing to the bone youllnever feel at home just watch your body go
