I'm such the little Icarus
and you're my blazing sun
and I don't want to come down
cuz I'm having so much fun
so I'll just climb climb higher
til the ground and I am one
You set my wings on fire
we looked just like a star
so now that I'm falling faster
I'm wondering where you are
it's getting hard hard harder to find you
with this back of burns and scars
And can they really blame me
for the warmth I had to feel?
can it really matter
if only the ground is real
it's just so dark dark down here without you
and it will take so long to heal

Hey didja ever know
That I never was what you said I was?
Did you even think
To ask me if it might be true?
And now I cannot think back to a time
When I could think clearly
Must've been you...
And now I've asked myself so many times over the years
How the fuck do I get off this train?
What's now, what's next, what's new?
And now I can't believe there was a time
That I could believe so clearly
That it must have been you
But that isn't me
No it never was
That isn't me
So don't believe in anything
But your battle scars and the shit you bring
Spit it out
Lift your voice and sing
Ah
Hey didja ever know that I never went where you thought I'd go...
O I am just an animal
Made to feel like a criminal
Subject to laws that are greater than mine
O but I'm more than just an animal
How can I feel so criminal?
Subject to laws that are greater than yours

Down by the Boulevard

i don't know what to do
i don't know how to choose
don't know what's even real
ain't got no poetry
at war for custody
puts a nightmare somewhere in every day...
and i've got integrity
that's trying to bury me
when what's wrong is all that feels right
we're in the middle now
so let's shake it all to hell
and see just what is left standing
down by the boulevard
you told me life is hard
and i said it isn't when you love me
down in the heart of snow
you said you had to go
just understand you never leave me
thought i might be the one
to be your rising sun
i'm the one who's light must fade
to you i'm just some star
some sun that's much too far
to hold your garden in its gaze
now that it's come to pass
it joins the echo mass
of all the things that could not be
back to the blessed road
hauling this curse in tow
feeling freely so unfree
down by the boulevard
you told me life was hard
and i said it isn't when you love me
down in the heart of snow
you said you had to go
just understand you never leave
and when you wanted me
how i loved to say hello
and when you tortured me
i lost my mind i lost my soul
i think you saved my life
the moment that you let me go
but when you wanted me
how i loved to say hello
the more the merrier

No-one's Song

"One day you will know the truth about me"
I say to the photo in my mind
I say "You have so much yet to witness"
And I'm laughing cuz I'm curling up inside
And all the times that you could not find the words
Are what I call my perfect memories
So why is it all the things I said
Were all I ever could remember of me?
Well I say so many things
And mean both less and more
Wish I could make up my mind
I keep trying to make it to yesterday
Cuz I can't forget how you feel
Despite my smiling I'm losing faith
That there's another way
So if I start to let go
You must let me know
That it was real
I know the answer is only in my head
I just believe that only fools claim to really know
I wish you could see the great things in store for me
And in the meantime won't you please tell me where to go
Your skin is the closest I've been to purity
You know I think of ya all the time
Where can I fly now that you've shown me gravity?
There is no line
There is no line
Well I mean so many things
And I say only less or more
I want to stop making up my mind
I keep trying to make it to yesterday
Cuz I can't forget how you feel
Despite my smiling I'm losing faith
That there's another way
So if I start to let go
You must let me know
That it was real
Real

I'll take the wheel
You smiled as you said
But did you know that I passed it to you?
We made a deal
That I knew you'd leave behind
But good enough to get me through...
It's over now
Never really had a chance
It's over now
Never even had a chance
You hold me down
Trying to lift me up
Do you know how much (?) -
It makes me love you
But we're going round and round
Filling up our cups
It's over now
Never really had a chance
It's over now
Never even had a chance
A-oooo :}
I'll show you how
How high I can jump
If you can show me how high
You can build a wall
I'll show you how
How high
It's over now
Never even had a chance
