The Morning After

Morning Star your beauty gave me something to believe in
When I had nothing, I was nothing
You helped me to erase my future before it erased me
I can’t resist
I don’t exist
If I can’t have you
Air aint shit
I wonder
I tumble
I gasp
I reach
I feel your lips
I miss your tongue
I need your touch
My Morning Star, I went too far
Lucifer you broke my fall
Then rose again, and left me here
Alive, yet dead again
I don’t dream when I sleep
Without you I am hollow
I can’t think of anything but me
Empty
Through a glass darkly
I stare into the winter light
And all I hear is silence
Silence
Silence
The morning after it made sense
I lost my chance for one more kiss
I wish
I could
I should
I would
I think I’d like
To try again
I cry
I sleep
I drink
I think
I wouldn’t like
To be in my shoes
If I lost you
Like I did
I think I’d die
Oh shit, I did
I wish I’d never met you
Were the six words I said that finally pushed you to leave me for dead
No past now, no future now
No warmth now, just me now
Just this alien view, that keeps me from you
And the rest of the world
impossible
unbearable
undeniable
maddening
deafening
isolating
alienating
abandoning
(why have you forsaken me?)

Morning Star
It’s much too late
To close the gates that hold back the flood
We’re drowning in our own dreaming
That made us believe we could overcome what we are
Morning Star
You descended into nothing but half dead arms
That cling to you like the last source of water
In a sudden flood of our love
Morning Star
There’s nothing left
The exit is closed
Morning Star

Who Am I
04:22
|

|
Who am I?
Is this what I’ve become?
A shadow, a promise an open wound?
How I wish we could dance and forget who we are
I want to dance in Aca(pulco) with you
and pretend I’m not me
Tell me who you need me to be
Tell me what you want me to be
Tell me what to promise to break it while I hurt you
Tell me who I should be!
Tell me what I am living for!
Tell me what anything is for!

Watch Me
04:39
|
|||
|
Watch me touch myself
Watch the days go by
Watch me kill myself
Pretend you don’t have eyes
In the end we were given a chance to love
In the end we were given a chance to live
Touch me
Feel me
Give me
Beauty
Fire
Life
Love
Chaos
Universe
Me
You
Us
We are everything
We are nothing
And now our beauty is broken
And I don’t know if we can piece it back together, together again
(Why do you have to try to bury me?
When all I’m really trying to do is to be free?)
If kissing me makes you feel alive
Then killing me will make you feel like a god
Boredom plays tricks on your mind
All along you wanted to kill the time cuz deep inside you feel you’re not alive

When you're talking to yourself
And nobody's home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone
(Alone)
You have no idea how alone I really am
I’ve erased my future baby
And now there’s nothing left but me
You have no idea how empty I am
My soul’s the surface of the moon
It’s nothing without the sun
So nobody ever told you baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to you baby?
Guess we'll have to wait and see
Maybe when I stop hiding myself from everyone
I’ll push past all my selfishness
And I’ll be able to offer love
Old at heart but I'm only 32
And I'm much too young
To let love break my heart
Young at heart but it's getting much too late
To find ourselves so far apart
I don't know how you're supposed
To find me
And what more could you ask from me?
How could you say that I never needed you?
When you meant everything
everything from me
Young at heart and it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart but I musn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out
Still talkin' to myself
and nobody's home
(Alone)
You have no idea how alone I really am
I’ve erased my future baby
And now I don’t know who I am
So nobody ever told us baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to us baby?
Guess we'll have to wait and see

It Felt Like Nothing

Talking to her felt like nothing
Behind us the leaves on the trees moved
With more grace and wit than she ever could
