I know the end is near
But so is the beginning
You're a lot more like them than you think
As you drop breadcrumbs
On your brick path near the brink
And have I made mention of my iron cross?
I can do it in a photograph
Barring something unforeseen or foreseen
I’ll be few and far between
These are the archives on me

I’m tiny
I slipped under your door
I was a fly on your wall
You're tiny

What's underneath the thinnest ice
Can't hurt me when I’m tan
They're not gonna let me fall through the cracks
Until this sugar turns to fat
And I should thank them in advance?

Tiny
I slipped under your skin
You let me in
I’m tiny

The air's escaping
Close the door
I'd like you to meet my tragic flaw
I’d rather laugh than sigh
Swim than sink
Do than die
Sleep than think

Tiny
I slipped out of your hands
Where it was too deep to stand
I’m tiny

I issue statements about my state
From in the in between stage
Deep in my element
Beyond event horizons
I’m gonna have to cease to amaze you now
Because there's no one to protest to
The witness wears a veil
The great observer voids a check
It's not lighter later yet
I’m angry at the sun that sets

I’m tiny
I slipped under the door
I was a fly on the wall
You’re tiny

I left the crows of dawn behind me
Who circled around my broken house
I went to Rosemary to find you
Who put the word inside my mouth
And when the thirty days were over
One day for every year we had
I took the ribbon from the shirt I wore
It was yours
And now the most I’ll be is half

I gotta go where nobody knows
And that's a blessing and a curse
I gotta go where nobody knows
And to Columbus I’ll go first

And it's a new world I’ll discover
On the way back to the old
Now as the days start rolling over
I link my soul to your soul

And I will go where nobody knows
And that's a blessing and a curse
I will go where nobody knows
And like Columbus I’ll go first

Is this the morning or the night?
Is this the morning or the night?

When I came home my door was open
But nobody was inside
I had two shadows and my lock was broken
Then you looked down on me and cried

I had to go where nobody knows
And that's a blessing and a curse
I had to go where nobody knows
Like Columbus I'll be the first

[BACK TO TOP]

You took me up
You brought me here
The things you touched
Are in my hands
Let me hold them up

There are prayers that fall on deaf ears
There are prayers that fall on deaf ears
But there are prayers that fall
From my mouth to G-d's ears

Am I still the same?
There's a voice that sounds like mine
Far away
Trying to be saved

There are prayers that fall on deaf ears
There are prayers that fall on deaf ears
I said a prayer and it fell
From my mouth

Where are you
Who darkened my door?
I saw you from the outside
It's not you anymore

It's not you who took it upon himself
It's not you who went to the well
Too often
How easy it is to fail
It's not you
Who didn't know to be afraid

Lulled to sleep
If I had to guess
It's not you
It should have been somebody else instead
Up on the dizzying pass
Not you
Now I like that nothing lasts

There are prayers that fall on deaf ears
I said a prayer
It fell on deaf ears
But another prayer
Let it fall
From my mouth to G-d's ears

[BACK TO TOP]

I think she looks beautiful
When she cries for you
Beautiful when she cries
And you would too

How can I go on?
I’m not so brave without you
She says I’m not to blame
You wouldn't be saved
You would too

I don't want to wake her
When she sleeps she doesn't know
That you have left her
I want to protect her
You would too
You were two

How can we go on?
We're not so brave without you
Maybe I’ll forgive myself
And help her
You would too

One day two lovers will lie together
And it will seem like they've been reunited
After centuries
Not only will it seem like that
It will be true
This I know
And you will too
You will too

I’m slipping through my fingers
I’m falling
No one's behind me but, hey
No matter what I’m okay

I’m just wanting someone to know me
Anyone right now would do
No matter what there's still you

I’m thinking a lot about trying
To stay how I am now but why?
No matter what it's a lie

I’m knowing the thing about living
I'll always pretend I don't know
I'll always pretend not to know
That I’m slipping through my fingers
I’m falling no one's behind me but, hey
No matter what I’m okay

[BACK TO TOP]

I've gotten away with so much so many times
If it was a thousand years ago I wouldn't be alive
I would have been put down outside the city gates
Many times over
But many times over you've looked the other way

Is it surprising how I influence things?
Even the outcome of games I watch from far away
Something invisible has influenced me
Many times over

Many times over I could have loved you
But now it's too late
If I had not mistaken your heart for bait
I know it can never be
But it feels just like I fucked fate
Many times over
Many times over my head it's gone
My mistake

At night I hear voices
Maybe they tell me what to do
I used to hear noises
You'd say the house is settling still
You've gone and joined with them yourself
I've felt you trying to get through
Many times over I wish I had listened to you

Is this familiar?
Do you also know this night?
Is something inside you telling you something isn't right?
How can I reach you now that I love you better than myself?
Many times over
I've been made into someone
who could love you
But now it's too late
If I had not mistaken my heart for bait
I know it can never be
But it feels just like I fucked fate
Many times over
Many times over my head it's gone
My mistake

[BACK TO TOP]

I've been missing so long
I've been bored and ignored
I can't picture myself tomorrow
I can't picture myself at all
I outrun seasons
Trying to last the day
Tell me are You close enough?
I mean far enough away

Your name is the offer of some other deal
You can lead to a waste of time
Or You can lead to something real

I want you to win
But I don't want to lose
I’m not checking out
I’m just switching rooms
I run in circles
I have another round
I’m looking for an anchor
But I'd hate to be held down

Your name is the offer of some other place
You can end it all right now
Just by showing me Your face

I found my faith
But I held her too tight
Now I talk to no one
And she stays out all night
I make You jealous
You make me afraid
Who created who
In Whose image anyway?

Your name is the offer of some other time
You can make me one of them
Or You can make yourself all mine

Your name is the offer of some other place
Tell me am I close enough?
I mean far enough away

[BACK TO TOP]

It's worth the wait
It's so much sweeter
When it comes late
So get lightly salted
I got ten years
I’m a bicentennial baby
Ear to ear
My smile is bloody

Late Bloomer

Naive or young
Older or smarter
The jury's well hung
When you're gone I’ll be a goner
With more fuel to burn
It's backed up through the ages
And something lurks
In generations

Late bloomer

I was a fixture here
I’ll be a fixture
there I’ll be a landmark and an eyesore
Yeah

Late Bloomer

You turn the page
You age like Buddha
Your head gets shaved
You recoil in horror

I was a fixture here
I’ll be a fixture
there I’ll be a landmark and an eyesore
Yeah

[BACK TO TOP]

The day I knew he took that ride
I cursed G-d then apologized
I said, You shed a great disguise
Didn't you like looking out his eyes?

The day I knew that he had left
I never got to go to bed
I hit the wall and I hung my head
I wished it was someone else instead

The day I knew he hopped the fence
I prayed but then said, What's the sense?
There's no omni-benevolence
There's not even a second chance

I cursed his car and I cursed the rain
I searched for a place to place the blame
I must have thought of fifty names
I thought of Hevel I thought of Kayin

The day I knew that he was free
That he paid the price for eternity
I said, Why him? And I said, Why me?
Then I set out to answer these

I found a hint written on a page
In a holy book sticking out half way
From my shelf like a card in Old Maid
But I can't understand why that hand was played
It's not like him

The day I knew I cried and cried
I cursed G-d then I apologized
Maybe the day I shed this great disguise
I'll fully fathom where he lies

[BACK TO TOP]

You arrived a quarter to my prime
And you stayed with me for a long time
But then you had to go
For what I don't know
But I’ll wait for you
My door is never shut

I hardly knew you at all

You arrived
Half past my life was spent in waiting for you
To tell me what my fortune meant
It said, Go outside, go for a ride
I went
You'll see the sights
But I could not see them

I hardly knew you at all

I worry how you're riding around in the dark

I hardly knew you
We took the scenic route
But I hardly knew you
'Cause we took the scenic route at night

I worry now I’m still riding around in the dark

[BACK TO TOP]

If they're gonna destroy us
Let's get destroyed
I will follow you
I’ll do what you'd want me to

If they're gonna tell me
My days are empty
I’m gonna fill them
Only with what I want to be

I won't wait around
‘Cause I’ll make it down
I won't wait around
In this life
This wash and rush of light and sound
I’ll make it
I’ll make it

If they're gonna tell me
No mistakes are made
That this is the way it has to be
Then safe from deep in themselves they speak

But I don't hear voices
And I can't stand the silence
So I lie down sick six feet above
The shell of the world I’ve vanished from
With my ear on the ground

Turn around
In this life
This wash and rush of light and sound
You'll make
You'll make it

If they're gonna destroy us
Let's get destroyed
But first let us fill all our days
Only with what we'd want to save forever

And don't wait around
‘Cause we'll make it down
Don't wait around
In this life
This wash and rush of light and sound
We'll make it
And they'll make it down

[BACK TO TOP]

Two in the heart
Two in the head
Make a new start
That's what you said

I should draw up a plan
And go slow
But you don't understand
There are things you don't know

Two in the head
Two in the heart
Better off dead
Than coming apart

If you were me
You couldn't do
Things differently
You wouldn't be you

I used to say
We're going somewhere
Somewhere we'll be sent
I don't know what I meant
But there are answers I will find
Lying up around the bend
But when I go around the bend
Will I see you again?

Two in the heart
Two in the head
It's gonna be hard
Somebody said
I'll draw up a plan
And go slow
I can't show you my hand
You don't want to know
Don't look at my hand
I don't want to know

[BACK TO TOP]

All bets are off now
I’m okay to go
Every bond must break
My feet are fast now
the stars are streaks
Up underneath the frozen lake
You speak in hushed tones
Whatever it's worth being taken care of now
I'll give you credit
When you give me the news
When you write me a check
When you finally discover that

Where there's a will there is a way

It took all year boys
To come across this short cut
To catch up on sleep
My Isabella
I travel heavy water isn't very deep
I’ve got to make tracks
Or wind up in a moment
That doesn't match
Oh don't you worry
That in the altogether
You can never stand on ceremony?

Where there's a will there is a way

Call me to task now
Tonight is half alive
I did a double take
Well off and offered
I’ll be well met
But also kept at arm's length
Reborn as bees
Living in a tower
That survives the wind
I don't have a feeling
He counted us among his friends
We're gonna have to live again

Where there's a will there is a way
If there's a will there is a way
If you got the will I got the way
Where there's a will there is a way

[BACK TO TOP]

Up on the dizzying pass
We like that nothing lasts
And we pray
That when we pray
All of our prayers
Don't fall on deaf ears
Don't fall on deaf ears
