I Am One

 

I am one as you are three

Try to find a messiah in your trinity

Your city to burn

Your city to burn

Try to look for something

In your city to burn, you'll burn

Am I as I seem?

I'm down

Down, so down

 

Time is right for a guiding light

Try to turn to reasons in your bitter life

Your city to burn

Your city to burn

Try to look for something

In your city to burn, you'll burn

 

See you, don't you just want to

See you, I am one

See you, don't you just want to

See you

 

See you, don't you just want to

See you, I am one

See you, don't you just want to

See you, I am one

 

Siva

 

I spin off and lose my head

Throwing stray a spark instead

Gather strength down in my heel

And dig it in the world I peel

 

Way down deep within my heart

Lies a soul that's torn apart

Tell me, tell me what you're after

I just want to get there faster

 

I don't live - I inhale

I don't give - I unveil

Don't want to live in your misery

I don't live - I inhale

 

Sprinkle all my kisses on your head

Stars full of wishes fill our beds

She said, "I'm dead"

 

All this pain smothers me

Like a bomb that you can't see

Tell me, tell me what you're after

I just want to get there faster

 

I don't live - I inhale

I don't give - I unveil

I don't live - I inhale

I don't live

Rhinoceros

 

Planned a show

Trees and Balloons

Ice cream snow

See you in June

 

Could have known

I would reveal

Should have known

I would conceal your way

 

She knows, she knows, she knows

She knows, she knows, she knows

How's it

She knows, she knows, she knows

 

Colors show

After the moon

I should go

See you in June

Your way

 

Open your eyes

To these must I lie?

 

Bury Me

 

(boys, let's do it)

 

Bury me in love

Bury me in love

 

Shared your kisses, take your heart

Buried me and it hurts

 

I love my sister so [chain, unchain]

She don't smother me [chain, unchain, unchain]

I played the spades I know [unchain]

I'm a Jack of all trades

Would you bury me?

 

Once you see her

One inside [hide, hide]

Some things you just can't hide

If you see her

Tell me why [why, why]

Why won't she come outside?

 

If you see her

Tell me why [why, why]

Why won't she come outside?

Once you see her

One inside [hide, hide]

Some things you just can't hide

 

She will bury me

She will bury me

 

Crush

 

You wrap your arms around

A feeling that surrounds

Like liquid peppermint

Just taste the drinks that she served

 

And this feeling shivers down your spine

Love comes in colors I can't deny

All that matters is love, love, your love

 

You're sleeping in your bed

Just rest your weary head

Maybe you shouldn't care

Throw away those dreams and dare

 

And I wonder if it matters to me

Love comes in colors I can't deny

All that shimmers is love, love, your love

Your love

Your love

 

Suffer

 

All that you suffer is all that you are

All that you smother is all that you are

And you're saying you're seeing, you're saying who you are

What takes meaning is cleaning the meaning of who you are

 

All may say

I will dream

All may say

 

All of your struggles beneath your disguise

Drink from the reasons that hold you alive

'Til we're safe from the wounds of desire and pain

You must rise from the mounds of desire and change

 

Too late to discover peace of mind

Too late to recover me

 

All you see and all you breathe and all you cease to be

Taken down your only son and what he means to me

Your dream will be

To dream with me

 

Will you wait? Yes I will, I will wait for you

To cleanse your life takes more than time

Take what you want

Take all of it

 

Too late to discover peace of mind <have no peace of mind>

To late to recover

 

Snail

 

All your seven dreams

Look closer than you believe

As your things come undone

See you are the only one

 

Flower, seize the hour I did

I wait

Waiting, waiting for your wake

I'll wait

 

When you wake up you're all weak

Throwing your life away

Someday, sorrow coming home

Sorrow, snail

What you wait for

 

Flower, the pain will wash away, away

When the sunshine climbs through your window

into your bed

 

When you wake up you're all weak

Throwing your life away

Someday, sorrow coming home

Sorrow, snail

Down in my heart

 

Flower save the hours

Flower away

 

What you wait for

Flower chase the sunshine

Flower chase the sunshine

Flower

 

Tristessa

 

Pledged your faith

my heart embraced

struggle to renew

 

Blurry mind

so hypnotized

fast enough who

 

Wonder where you are

Tristessa

 

Soul takes soul

as I take eye

I will wait for you

 

What you believe

you'll wish to receive

I won't believe in you

 

Hang on to your life

Tristessa

 

I love you true

Surely I do

I love you true

Surely I do

Surely I do

Surely I do <no>

 

Do you ever wake up and find yourself alone?

Do you ever wake up far from home?

What you believe

you'll wish to receive

I won't believe in you

Tristessa

Tristessa

Tristessa

 

Window Paine

 

Window paine

Around my heart

Shadows streak

Around my heart

 

Do what you got to do

And say what you got to say

Do what you got to do

Yes, start today

Start today

 

Wind blow shame

Around my heart

Shadows scream

Around my heart

 

What are you coming to

Stripped down to the bone?

Laughing, living on your own

All alone

 

Do what you got to do

And say what you got to say

Do what you got to do

Yes, start today

Start today

 

Daydream

 

[D'arcy]

My daydream seems as one inside of you

Though it seems hard to reach through this life

Your blue and hopeless life

 

My daydream screams bitter 'til the end

The love I share -true- selfish to the heart

My heart, my sacred heart

 

My daydream dream

My daydream

My daydream dream

My daydream

 

[pause]

[Billy]

 

I'm going crazy

I'm going crazy

I don't want feelings

Your feelings

 

I have gone crazy

Motherfuckin' crazy

I have gone
