What follows is a list of my crimes
No lachrymose song will save me from the past
Before falling on my sword would be advised
Then to lead you through the day with open ire
When all my dreams of you would wash away
If I could only remember your face
All will be revealed in 32 pages
All desires concealed within a plastic casing
Stories of your charm
You try and leave and I'll break your arm
How hollow are whispers in the dark
It's hard to explain but there are shadows in her eyes
Before falling on my sword would be advised
I run through the day with open ire

Blake

Today I walked with Blake to his Jerusalem
In tears he saw it fall
I took Nick Drake to see the river man
To give him all we can
All will shine like gold as I guard over the fold
There's a wolf at the door
All will shine like gold as I guard over the fold I'm watching you all
And too many times I fall
Today she took away all I ever loved
My L.P. of the Fall
All she said is I know, I know what spiders know
That makes them want to crawl

Plaster and Stone

Would the the last one to die please turn out the light
Our chances at life are gossamer small
What's the worst thing you've ever done
Mine is when I tried to hurt someone
I found out a home is more than plaster and stone it's more than I'll ever need
Prepare yourself for a falling out because I will be alone at your door
Prepare yourself for a falling out all will be revealed at your cost

People Get Frightened
03:40

People get frightened when they don't want to be on their own
Was it strange when I begged you to stab me
Over and over again
Come to my room full of spiders, their eyes can watch us play
People get frightened when they don't want to be on their own
You came when I begged you to stab me
Over and over again
A room full of fallen idols and thoughts to leave our play

Speak of The Devil
05:10

This is how it starts when you speak of the devil
When he's crawling out of your mouth
Well she is cultureless and she is boring Bain
And a voice that we don't need to hear again
She is cultureless and boring Bain and I'm falling
Calming hands
But we speak of the devil
Calling
It's all because we can
See I talk to whom I've fallen out
All for you
And then we meet in the middle
I won't be on my own

Alone (live)
06:00
|

So in time if you let me fall in
She is lunar
And all in
To falling
When you wake from fear I'll be no where near
Alone too
Crestfallen love you're torn in arms
And nothing you can say can temper this
And the sound of awful silence
Well you won't see me drinking alone
I've taken to the bottle though
Cause I've got some wounds I need to sow
I'll do them without you
