and every morning you wake up with a new dream i your head and every morning you wake up and wash your face with that cold water and every morning you wake up and paint yourself back together and every morning you wake up and put on that old pair of shoes
hold on to my hand
stay i can make you happy
and late every night you fall asleep on the right side of your bed and late at night you cant stop thinking rest your hot head baby and late at night you write about all the things that get you down and late at night you wait for something that will never come
hold on to my hand
stay i can make you happy
i see you like a fire ant
i don’t know how to show you so that you’d understand I’m living life so steady slow i don’t wanna walk alone and empty smiles just drag us down until we softly kiss the ground and dandelion you’re taking flight and you’re blocking all the light.
we fit inside our body shell
teasing all night raising hell
i nursed a cloud inside my chest
there’s still some shit i can’t digest
my blood simmers sinister
die in you or move away whichever you prefer you trained me well to follow you and kept me at a distance till you needed
some one to cut through
some one to cut through
some one to help you
ah
i watched you make your life a hole
awaking sweating alcohol
provoked a war and walked away
never learned to meet me half way
my blood simmers sinister
die in you or move away whichever you prefer you trained me well to follow you and kept me at a distance till you needed
some one to cut through
some one to cut through
some one to help you
ah
well i’m sorry hunny
but my heart isn’t in a good place now
well i’m sorry hunny
but theres just some things i wont allow well i’m sorry darlin’
but all is see is anything but beautiful well i’m sorry sugar what you did to me was kinda cruel
well i’m sorry hunny
but i built a god damn road for you
well i’m sorry hunny
but you lied and i only told you the truth well i’m sorry darlin’
but you were welcomed and didn’t want to stay well i’m sorry sugar but your six inch taint left a heavy stain
so stop telling me to move on
i am not a ghost.
i refuse to be a ghost.
I found a place that i can live
inside a tree outside your house
and i found a way to keep a secret
even when you are around
and i found your goddess you believed in she cut her wrists again today and i found a way to punish myself for always standing in your doorway.
i am a wooden doll
cant move, cant speak
cant sing a single note
i am a sore throat
inside a sailor
shouting in a sinking boat
and i found your goddess you believed in she cut her wrists again today and i found a way to punish myself for always standing in your doorway.
and i will write a song for every time you made me cry and i will look for your face in the purple sky and i will make a list of all the things i found in you and then ill pay a muse so i can write a song about something new
i found a place that i can live inside a tree outside your house
tired hands
hide your face
don’t cry
don’t cry
lost yourself
when she died
don’t cry
don’t cry
and you’re giving up
you’re drowning
heavy heart
wears me down
im not myself
i lost my health
on a string
you’ve got me
let me go
let me go
and im giving up
im drowning
i can’t do anything right
im no good and ive never been
and lately ive been feeling so pitiful
i don’t know how to die right now
so tell me how to choose to go down today help me pick a path that will hurt the most and i will vanish
im not enough for anyone
i don’t deserve anything
im no good and ive never been
im wasting my time
i shouldn’t be living
so tell me how to choose to go down today help me pick a path that will hurt the most and i will vanish
and if you leave me
i will be your friend
and if you beat me
i will fall in love
and if you’re selfish
i will let you use me
because this is all ive ever been taught
i don’t know how to die today.
i like the way your fingertips
smell of cigarette smoke
and try to make the best of life
when you’re miserable and broke
i like the way your lips are rough
and you try to eat the skin
and in bad habit we are skipping meals
and growing slightly thin.
i like to draw your jaded face
and pretend that you’re not there
we repeat ourselves everyday
and write the things we wouldn’t dare
do.
you.
hey.
you.
do.
tonight you sleep on a park bench
but its better than being home
you’d rather beg your friends for charity than tolerate your fathers fists stamping your body tonight you sleep away from home.
i doubt you know
but your just a big blue sail now
floating and breathing cancer from the paper snow and you’re 30 and 8 years old with wrinkled hands and an aching spine a non believer praying just to stay alive
i doubt you know
but you’re just a gaping hole
a selfless loon, a failing starlet in a minor role so stretch yourself over your cavity with anemic veins and feeble toes and hold on hold on hold on…
your eyes are leaking kerosene
be diligent, don’t catch on fire
you’ll burn your aching spine to dust
take it back say you didn’t mean it
you don’t know what ive had to live though its my life i choose on my own you can decide for me ive been ready for a long time but i cant change your mind…
and you don’t understand cause you’re blinded my the norm once you saw me but now you see a stereotype you are just as bad as they are because right and wrong is white and black with you but im the same person i was 2 minutes ago,nothing’s changed with me but i cant change your mind…
you push me away cause your afraid and want to cover your own back im discouraged every day to live in a world made of restrictions and if i want to do something i will im sorry if you disapprove i though we had it in us live without fear but i cant change your mind…
Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well baby I’ve been here before
I’ve know this room and I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well there was a time when you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who’d OUT DREW YA
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
lyrics by: Leonard Cohen
come back come back come back
and i will show you a world of light
come back come back come back
and we’ll stay up talking all night
come back come back come back
and we’ll bathe in the sunlight
come back come back come back
and wrap your arms and hold me tight
but ill wait for you to come home to me
and if you’re late ill wait until you’re ready
and im struggling cause i miss you terribly
but ill wait for you to come back there’s no one else for me.
come back come back come back
and we’ll do what we said we’d do
come back come back come back
im leakin feelings enough for two
come back come back come back
since you left ive been seein blue
come back come back come back
i cant get my mind off of you
but ill wait for you to come home to me
and if you’re late ill wait until you’re ready
and im struggling cause i miss you terribly
but ill wait for you to come back there’s no one else for me
come back come back come back
i want to see your pretty face again
come back come back come back
and i wont be sad then
come back come back come back
and if you cant, please tell me when
come back come back come back
i want to sit next to you again.
