This is where I say I've had enough
and no one should ever feel the way that I feel now.
A walking open wound,
a trophy display of bruises
and I don't believe that I'm getting any better.

Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring
and I'm thinking awful things
Pretty sure that few would notice.
And this apartment
is starving for an argument.
Anything at all to break the silence.

Wandering the house
like I've never wanted out
and this is about as social as I get now.
And I'm throwing away the letters that I am writing you
'cause they would never do,
I would never do.

So don't be a liar,
don't say that "everything's working"
when everything's broken.
And you smile like a saint
but you curse like a sailor
and your eyes say the joke's on me.

your pillow smothered my cry
u were half charmer half snake
i ived in dreamtime
jst to escape you
you drove devotion too far
no one could save you

i still have visions of you
i still have nights to get through
and when the trust isn't true
i have these visions of you

but i'm alive, I survived you
and the bitter taste, the years I wasted
all the hate is gone
cause I'm alive

i've got a memory a thousand years old
and I know secrets I've never been told
and I've got jewels I haven't found
and they'll return me to the ground
and I remember being born just
sound and light and sound and light
and I remember the first time,
skin on skin in the arms of the night

well how many times have we looked
up into the starry skies, and how many times
have we felt the passion rise

every ruby-lipped girl baby
old lady
squaw junkie
girl after girl after girl
every muse
whore
good witch
princess
back arching
year after year after year

Life is only half way in our hands
Years have passed while I was making plans
And I could never find the words
I always felt absurd, and on the outside
But now I know I shouldn't care
There's a song already there
Waiting inside

And I can feel the clock unwind
The parts of me I tied are running
And all the birds are in my head
The laughter that was dead
is coming

What a feeling, what a feeling
The laughter that was dead is coming

you're the blood of me
You're the truth that hurts
You're the memory
You're the drug that works

Why do people change
When hearts still beat the same?

I look in the mirror, with you in my arms
And I see a reflection
Of a smile that says you believe in love
And just for a moment, I drifted away
But I couldn't stay cuz
A hint of love, a bit of fear
I'm tryin' to say
If I were you, I wouldn't be here
If I were you I would stay right where you are
I wouldn't come near this broken heart
Just turn around and leave here
And find someone who won't hurt you
Make sure that she still believes in love
Cuz I think my heart has given up
If I were you, I wouldn't be here
I'm tryin' to protect you
From the lies that your heart tells
Even though it says that you love me
All I see is pain and misery
Seasons may change
But I can't forget the days of old
My heart ached when you walked away
I said I'd never love again
The days go by
And I feel that you could make me happy
Time goes on
And I feel that love is at my door
And though I tell myself that you're the one
Who said those words before
Thought it hurts too much
I can't trust in love
Again
If I were you, I wouldn't be here
If I were you I would stay right where you are
I wouldn't come near this broken heart
Just turn around and leave here
And find someone who won't hurt you
Make sure that she still believes in love
Cuz I think my heart has given up
If I were you, I wouldn't be here

Wait
Before you leave I've got something to say
so listen to me
I know you wanted to hate me
When you found out that I lied, yeah
I wanna spend eternity
But you say you've been decieved
Now you say you wanna leave
But I say:
Hell no, hell no
I won't let you leave me this time
Hell no, hell no
Don't act like you never lied to me
Hell no, hell no
My actions are not just a fight
Remember the many nights I cried
So hell no you can't leave me this time
Now under the circumstances
Do you remember what you did to me (to me)
I'm not trying to go back and forth
I'm just trying to let you know
I've fogiven you a hundred times
So baby I'm not gonna let you go so
Remember the many nights I cried
Hell no you can't leave
This time
Don't leave me now
I'll be here if you stay (stay right here)
If I forgave you baby when you left
Hell no you can't leave me this time
Don't leave me no
Stay right here

Girl Jesus you're so thin
sleep on my cross for your sins
when you ever gonna let me in?
i guess this has to be a kind of redemption
Girl vampire you're so red
sleep in a box like you were dead
just another demon in my head
i wish you'd bite me and then we'd go to bed
Girl angel you blind my eyes
i sleep on the cloud of your thighs
when you touch me you make me rise
are you wearing just another disguise
Girl satan you love me most
i am your father son and holy ghost
will you betray me if you can't get close
or within the circle of your flame i will roast

THiS PoeM iS By MaTT:
... Flower ...
I saw a flower today
To see it again
I gladly would pay
I live in a world made of metal and lies
To see this flower brought hope to my eyes
I watched it slowly push through the steel
Far passed the iron its pedals did peel
It reveled to me
Something no one else saw
The ice in my heart
It began to thaw
Tears of joy ran down my cold face
Slowly but surely
My heart began to race
I quickly took flight to the neighbors
I had the greatest of news
Little did I know what greatness I'd lose
For when I turned round
That flower hit the ground
It screamed and it cried
But sure enough it died
It soaked back into the ground
Then hatred my heart found
I loathed my neighbors
And the fact I wanted to share
I should have not gone
My gift was too rare
Now I sit alone in my house down the street
When I think of the neighbors
My chest I do beat
Horrible insects live now in my heart
When I dream now of flowers
I dream of tearing them apart
I can't believe my fortune
I can't believe my life
Each day I now live
I live to end life

"If love was a bird
Then we wouldn't have wings
If love was a sky
We'd be blue
If love was a choir
You and I could never sing
Cause love isn't for me and you"

"boy I know we had some good times
it's sad but now we gotta say goodbye
boy you know I love you, I can't deny
I can't say we didn't try to make it work for you and I
I know it hurts so much but it's best for us
somewhere along this windy road we lost the trust
so I'll walk away so you don't have to see me cry
It's killing me so, why don't you go
So why don't you go your way
And I'll go mine
Live your life, and I'll live mine
Baby you'll do well, and I'll be fine
Cause we're better off, separated"
