"Break Me Open"

"Break Me Open"


I break like a crystal cup
Into a million little pieces but I pick me up
Don't just stare at me, take care of me

Don't let 'em tell ya fucked up isn't fine
There's like a million kinds of crazy and I kind of like mine
I'm not a problem that needs solving

And you can't bleed what's already bled
And if you only knew the shit that rolls around in my head
You'd be a little more fragile when handling me
You see, I heal quickly

Do you break me open just to see if I still bleed?
Do you break me open just to see what's underneath?
Do you find in the way I never mind that you could never
Break me open, just you see, just you see.

You fight like stones and sticks
But I've never known a cut that I couldn't fix
These bruises make sweet music

And you want words but you want me dumb
Now you're playing catch with a loaded gun
You can't tell me how to write this one

No take backs, it's already said
And if you only knew the shit that rolls around in my head
You'd be a little more fragile when handling me
You see, I heal quickly

Do you break me open just to see if I still bleed?
Do you break me open just to see what's underneath?
Do you find in the way I never mind that you could never
Break me open, just you see, just you see.

You can't take what's mine- it's mine
You can't make me silent with violence
You shake your finger at me and expect I'll change

I might break like a crystal cup
Into a million pieces, but I'll pick me up
Don't just stare at me, take care of me

You can't kill what's already dead
And if you only knew the shit that rolls around in my head
You'd be a little more fragile when handling me
You see, I heal quickly

Do you break me open just to see if I still bleed?
Do you break me open just to see what's underneath?
Do you find in the way I never mind that you could never
Break me open, just you see, just you see
Just you see, just you see.

"Indecision Kills"
"Indecision Kills"

Oh in - oh in - oh indecision, indecision kills
Oh in - oh in - oh indecision, indecision
Ooh

Oh in - oh in - oh indecision, indecision kills
Oh in - oh in - oh indecision, indecision
Ooh

We can stay up all night
Your brother’s house or mine
We can debate the things that make us crazy
Maybe I’m in love with you
Even if you do not want me to
Even if I’m more a sketch to you
Than a photo you keep in your wallet

I was so very drunk, now
The body’s in the trunk
By that I mean of course the bleeding fact that
We’re back in the sack, oh lord
It’s gonna break that stupid girl’s poor heart
Or give her something real to hate you for
So in a way, I just did you a solid.

What do you say we go to Vienna, or I don’t know
Tell me I look like home
And we’ll stay here and appease this
Troubled move-by-move like two chess pieces

I know all about the breakdowns, and I cannot say I blame her
Seeing as how we've both got you in common - We’re probably the same, or close to it
And aren't we all the same if God’s the spark that we’re all made of
Wait shut up that’s just my higher chakra talking
Baby, take your hat and let’s go back to bed

Oh in - oh in - oh indecision, indecision kills
Oh in - oh in - oh indecision, indecision
Ooh

On the night we met,
Remember what we said?
We swore if in four years, we’re still unsettled
We would have a baby son
Or daughter; has it really been that long?
Then maybe we should keep our overcoats on
Because God’s got a weird sense of humor

Oh I sort of wish you’d call
Then again, not at all
Cause I’m not ready to go steady
But I’d like to know I’m not the muse
Who paints your portrait and goes down on you
Then gets the shovel and the sweep under until you deem it
Due time to exhume her

What do you say we go marry in Mexico?
In seven months or so, when we settle and our deal’s up
We can have a son or just tequila

You know all about the breakdowns and
They didn't seem to phase you
Because you know despite the circumstance
We’re both in better places now

So lets go to your brother’s house or mine where we can talk it out
And by the way - no pseudo strangers analyze our body language
Tell the girl the flight’s delayed, or tell her you made a mistake
You say she makes you lonely but you won’t surprise me anyway

Piano’s closed and your eyes are making
Promises your lips are keeping
And I forgot how good you taste
It started now, so baby take your hat and let’s go back
Take your hat and let’s go back
Baby take your hat and let’s go back to bed

Oh in - oh in - oh indecision, indecision kills
Oh in - oh in - oh indecision, indecision kills
Oh in - oh in - oh indecision, indecision kills

"The Art Of The Soul"


"The Art Of The Soul"


The taming of the memory
The heartache of the soul
'Tis their dream? forgiveness
The fear of letting go
With every breath
With every step
The truth becomes so clear
Leading me closer
Bringing me near

To the heart of the art of the soul
Where the tears and the fears make us whole
Let the canvas reveal
The pain as it heals
In the heart of the art of the soul

The daybreak tempts my spirit
And helps to make it seem
That night won’t last forever
If I use the dark to dream
And with your love you give me light
To find my way along
Leading me closer
Bringing me home

To the heart of the art of the soul
Where the tears and the fears make us whole
Let the canvas reveal
The pain as it heals
In the heart of the art of the soul

You’re asking me to remember
And to let you have your say
But all that I ask is believing me
And let me live today

The canvas reveals
The pain as it heals
In the heart of the art of my soul
In the heart of the art of the soul

"The Lullaby Singer"

"The Lullaby Singer"



You say, "baby, turn the light out"
But I can see there's something crying in your smile now
Yeah, you used to be the glitter in the dirt
And now you say it's just you feel a little dusty

Why didn't anybody tell you that it ain't easy
Life don't imitate reality TV
I can see you tugging on a wishbone
Angling an outcome
Bones will only break their words

But you don't know that it beats my heart
To black and blue all over
When you cry those tears
Like paper cuts and iodine

When you were here
I couldn't find the words to say
I'll be your lullaby singer
I won't let you down
I promise to try and try
Lullaby, lullaby
Lullaby, lullaby

Panic is a shotgun
I don't know if I can get you out of this one
But you can call me up at twenty after midnight
I'll stay on the line to talk you down and tuck you in

Eyes wide open brighter than the candles
On a cake you wasted wishes on when you were okay

When you were here
I couldn't find the words to say
I'll be your lullaby singer
I won't let you down
I promise to try and try
Lullaby, lullaby
Lullaby, lullaby

"Words"

"Words"


I could tell you that I loved you from the start
I could tell you that I cut you out of stars
Like you're the flame and I'm a cigarette
Like Clyde and Bonnie, Romeo and Juliette

And we could be a modern Bogart and Bacall
Maybe ours could be the greatest love of all
I could say that I would never criticize you
Never lie when I am looking in your eyes

But that is only words and words and words
Yeah that is only words and words and words
Damn it all the words and words and words just get in my way

And Love, yeah you're leaving me speechless
I can feel it in each kiss
And it's bigger than bigger than words
So I hope you can feel it
Cause I couldn't conceal it
When it's bigger than bigger than words

I could tell you that I want to be a wife
I'd take a vow, take a bullet, take a life
It's beautiful but compared to how I love ya
It's stale and stupid and it's all been said enough

Cause that is only words and words and words
Yeah that is only words and words and words
Damn it all the words and words and words just get in my way

And Love, yeah you're leaving me speechless
I can feel it in each kiss
And it's bigger than bigger than words
So I hope you can feel it
Cause I couldn't conceal it
When it's bigger than bigger than words

And words can't feel
And words don't breathe
And words can't tell you what you mean to me
Those three small words are overused
So "more than words" means more than "I love you"

If you're savvy you'll know what I'm trying to say
When I say "I'll settle for 'I love you' anyway"
I could tell you that I cut you out of stars
But it's just a ghost of what I'm feeling in my heart

And that is only words...
Yeah that is only words...
Damn it all the words and words and words just get in my way

And Love, yeah you're leaving me speechless
I can feel it in each kiss
And it's bigger than bigger than words
So I hope you can feel it
Cause I couldn't conceal it
When it's bigger than bigger than words
