Lyrics

I won't ever be happy again

Well morning came
And it dressed the sky
In a lovely yellow gown
And the shops they are
All opening
In that narrow hallway of downtown
Filled with people who
Are shopping for
Their lovers and their friends
So they won't ever be lonely again
Well a forest fenced
becomes backyards
Like songs are born from sound
And the apple fell
And it taught us all
We are chained here to the ground
So, here we go
But there ain't no escape
No, these streets they're just dead ends
So I won't ever be happy again
Well, it seems you too
See a painful blue
When you stare into the sky
You could never understand
The motion of a hand waving goodbye
But as the story goes
Or it is often told
A new day will arise
And all the dance halls will
Be full of skeletons
That are coming back to life
And on a grassy hill
The lion will
Lay down with the lamb
And I won't ever be lonely again
But until that time
I think I'd better find
Some disbelief to suspend
Cause I don't want to feel like this again

The Joy in Discovery

Why do you lay in the grass?
Why do you lay there, don't you want to be found?
Why do you lay in the grass?
Why do you lay there, don't you want to be found?
Why do you lay in the grass?
Why do you lay in the grass, don't you want to be found?
Don't you want to be found?
Don't you want that?
Isn't the Sun even gonna to try?
Won't it try to find a hole in the clouds?
Isn't the Sun even gonna to try?
Won't it try to find a hole in the clouds?
Isn't it even gonna to try?
Isn't it even gonna to try to find the hole in the clouds?
Isn't it even gonna try?
Why won't it try that?
Why do you lay in the grass?
Why do you lay there, don't you want to be found?
Why do you lay so low in the grass?
Why do you lay there, don't you want to be found?
Why do you lay in the grass?
Why do you lay in the grass, dont you want to be found?
Don't you want to be found?
I thought that you wanted that?

The Joy in Forgetting / The Joy in Acceptance

There's a cat in the window
Of the house of my lover
Well, she sleeps there alone now
Or perhaps with another
Oh, I try not to think about that
I try not to think at all
I get cocaine from a girl I met
And my brother buys me alcohol
And I stay up all night
Walking through these houses I have grown to hate
And my parents ask if I'm all right
I say, "I've just been staying up too late"
I need to sleep
I need to do something
To get this awful weight up off my chest
And keep her pretty ghost from chasing me
From chasing me
You say there are spaces
Open and wide
Believe me there's days
Longer than nights
And you will be happy
The minute you try
But you don't try
You don't try
And you speak of a fever
That burns you inside
As you explain to your mother
How you have wanted to die
So she kisses your fingers
Says "My darling but why?
When there is so much more
There is so much more
Do you know there are spaces
open and wide
Oh, Believe me, there's days
longer than nights
And you will be happy if only you try
Oh, won't you try?
Oh, won't you try?"

Untitled

Lovers turn into monsters
At the loss of all affection
Almost like it was the affection
That kept them from being monsters
And I could have used some warning
I was on that porch all morning
Smoking cigarettes and sinking deeper into doubt
Could it be I am mistaken
Have I stolen somebody's baby?
Is it possible for two people
To need the same thing?
It's just the lines, they get so blurry
Between what is wanted and required
And I don't know on which side his heart falls
But I know where mine is buried
And it's so far from being wanted
Yeah, it needs this to keep beating
It won't go on without it
If im still in doubt with subtleties
Then I'll just come right out and say it
That I think that I deserve her
More than anyone deserves anything
And maybe I am selfish
But there is no way to share this
There's not enough to go around
I don't care who else gets hurt
But I'm still sick with empathy
Because I once stood in his place
I spent a year quietly dying
While you let go and ignored her
And I'm sure that there are reasons
For everything that happened
And absence leads to adoration
Yeah, it's nobody's fault
But now there is no way to change this
So I just photographed and framed it
And it's hanging in a hallway
That we have no right to walk back down
But I hope that he feels better
But I'm sick of all the drama
I can't stand to see her crying
I just want this shit to end
And I want a place to hang out
where a record player's playing
And there's a thousand movies rented
for a thousand nights with her
