I want the forgiveness that's granted in the wake of a forced confession I want the asylum that's granted if I'd fake this one defection I want the consensus we could reach if I would take back my objection I want the assurance that others have in spades I'll go to heaven So many suitors saying "may i have this dance?" At the crystal ball your...Learn More

You asked "what's the point of regrets?" And I really couldn't answer But leaving was the sweetest thing you ever did for me I took that 2am call after you saw the monster Shaken by that photograph and inconsolable I grew sleepy then was never forgiven, no Now I know But you were doubled over I couldn't think it over Dissolved in a chemical...Learn More

I could deliver a billion pillows Wrap you up in gauze I could summon every doctor To pinpoint the very cause Of your unrest But you won't say "yes" It hurts to lose someone when they choose They'd rather break away But surely you know that everything goes No matter what I say Does that mean it's wasted And shouldn't have happened?

The righteous prey like cannibals Out hunting heads Cornering the dissidents And if you drown, well you're a witch That's how we'll tell You will never stand a chance Which side are you on? And are you pure? Can you be sure ? Which side are you on? And are you pure? Prove that you're sure This is the symphony, this is the dance Who shall we...Learn More

I go along to get along I sing the songs but don't believe A single word Is there something wrong with me? I must be alone in my doubt I row in time, don't wanna be a drag I'll even empty my wallet And give you all I can give Please don't notice I'm what one size doesn't fit I won't break your spell I'll do my best to blend in May the myths,...Learn More

I wish I could hear you Clasp my lines like crumpled paper Throw the tea leaves I remember What you said about your closest friends It was starin' me in the face The whole time, words that start with V I made the mistake of thinkin' she wasn't smart I don't think you can enlarge without distorting it You wish people would stop asking you where...Learn More
