"(She's A) Universal Emptiness"

"(She's A) Universal Emptiness"


And she sits there by the wall
Making holes where I just stood
And her hands, they touch her face
Like her face is made of wood

And she holds onto a memory
Of something I never said
But she still can't quite remember
If my eyes are blue or dead

She's the mother of us all
She's the victim of my sadness
And the more she tries to know it
The more she'll never fill it

She's a universal emptiness
A universal emptiness
She's a universal emptiness
And a total lack of faith

And I saw her once before
Down on her bended knees
Through a window of the church at night
Confessing to the broken priest

She is holy, as all women are
And she suffers like a saint
Yeah, she touched my hand with cruelty
But I was punished far too late

She's the mother of us all
She's the victim of my sadness
And the more she tries to know it
The more she'll never fill it

She's a universal emptiness
A universal emptiness
She's a universal emptiness
And a total lack of faith

"1,000 Years"

"1,000 Years"


I'll live forever, I'll never be filled
I'll never imagine I can change what I killed
I destroy what I love, I drain what is filled
And I live by the heart of the things I kill

I will be alive for a thousand years
This memory will never leave, this body won't die
This body is a temple stolen from the Lord
I'll walk in his shadow for a thousand years

This is the gift I was given at birth
I'll walk in your shadow for a thousand years
One thousand years

"A Fool"

"A Fool"


I'll lie to myself
I'll lie to myself
I'll lie down here
I'll lie down here
I'll Lie down beside you
I'll Lie down beside you
I'll lie to myself
I'll lie to myself
I'll believe in myself
I'll believe in myself
I'll believe in a lie
I'll believe in a lie
I'll believe in a lie
I'll believe in myself

I'll cut off my right hand and stand in your shadow
I'll cut off my right hand and stand in your shadow
I'll lie to myself
I'll lie to myself
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

I'll crawl all over myself and stand in your shadow
I'll crawl all over myself and stand in your arms
I'll lie to myself
I'll lie to myself

"A Little God In My Hands"

"A Little God In My Hands"


Pink little lamb, on a granite slab
Black chasm creeping, forever leaking
Oh universe: Sing in reverse
Oh sucking lung: We'll never come
Forever loving! Forever waiting!
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
The universal mind!

Eye full of sun, hand full of mud
Oh universe: you stink of love!
Forever lazy, forever crazy
Forever holy, forever hungry
Forever hateful, forever beautiful
Forever needing, forever reaching
Forever stinking, forever breathing
Forever growing, forever leaving

Oh shit and blood! Forever love!
No ebb or flood, will ever come!
Oh shit and blood! Forever love, love, love!
Forever draining, forever leaving
What's my name?
What's my name?
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
The universal mind!

"A Piece Of The Sky"

"A Piece Of The Sky"


Through a door in the air
On a crumbling stair
In a clear and rushing vein
In a tunnel full of rain
In a piece of yellow light
On the skin of my eye
Are you there?

In the wind of my lung
In methane and in love
In petroleum plumes
There's a floating slice of moon
In your tooth and your claw
and your unforgiving jaws
Are you there?

In a burning white ship
In the taste of her lips
In the blood of the swans
as the sun fucks the dawn
In the mud of a lake
In the drunk and the dazed
Are you there?

In the now that is not
on a ladder to god
On a mountain stripped bare
With your hand in my hair
Behind the face of the sky
on a disappearing line
Are you there?

In the then that was now
In the now that is not
In our names we forgot
In a thought we just lost
We become what we choose
We are stumbling fools
Who are not there

There's some tangled dirty twine
in some idiot's clouded mind
there's some wires that won't unwind
around the ankles of the blind
There's walls lined with soft lead
and in that room is your bed
Is that really you?

Are you in there?
On the moon?
In the air?
Crushed in my hand?
Thrown in a fire?
