letting go of all the waste inside
oh tonight these demons are just my type
for a change i feel alright
faced with the noise i cannot describe
little bits of you left in my sight
have made a grave for me to lie
i failed as a lover
i wasn't worth a shit
i lost my head in all of this

No Pain

it's a lonely song from an empty hotel
and i want it to rain
that's enough for now
you can stop coming down
i feel no pain
there was a time when i could see outside
now i'm ready for this distance to grow
and tell the beast in me
to finally set you free
for how long i don't know
i fear the water running out
never close enough to drown
all leaving in shame
but you can sleep this off
or take a walk to the bar
i've been here all day

From The Other Side

please don't be gone very long
darling you know i want you here with me
I've been patient as the dawn
and that i will continue to be
if you come back with blood on your hands
you do not need to explain
just remember that you are the one
to cause your own pain
so you tell me you aint coming home
i'll wait around and pretend to lock the door
and continue to breathe the air of a ghost
like you needed this more
can't you tell you're putting me through hell
it's an empty to place to be
you can always tell me what went wrong
and wipe your hands clean
from the other side
hey you just might see what i see
don't act a bit surprised
when i tell you that i've got to leave
tomorrow's bed will be made
covered in sheets that are stirring with lies
and you can't just sleep them away
i see them living under your eyes
finding a balance with what i believe
and the words in your song
you had no right to question me
when did i ever do you wrong
from the other side
hey you just might see what i see
don't act a bit surprised
when i tell you that i've got to leave
you've taken everything out of me...
walking into that sound
i counted every step you took, i did
you were so pleased to leave the ground
that you forget which way to look and hid
take it out on me
i'm the one who fell and let your hand slip
no my love, that wouldn't be right
you're the reason i exist
no my love...
you're the reason that i quit

Grace

all around you
a light that shines
and hollow tones disappear
morning reflects her silhouette
my hollow bones draw near
but love, this is me...
though might see someone else who's far beneath
waves of pain that washed me away
angel, i'm still here
now you wait for the day
when this will pull you away
a stone is bound to bring you down
all clear skies fill with fear tonight
this storm passes only with time
but all that i see is you dancing with me
in darkness there's no one around
grace in my veins as i call out your name
angel, where are you now?
please keep on trying

through every tortured morning
you will start to feel relief
have a coffee, play some records
let the grief within you leave
there are windows you must open
even though the sun is gone
there is laughter that will find you
just as she has found her own
it's not in you anymore
you cannot speak to anyone
no one knows your name
and there's a fire within you burning
but you can barely fight the flames
if it's love you are after
you feel that thorn in your side
begging to be apart from darkness
or in your hands to watch it die
it's not in you anymore
so let the world have it's way
and you must learn to let her go
it's very hard to understand now
someday you may know
don't put down your hands
and don't say no i can't
don't forget each tortured morning
eventually will let you dance
it's not in you anymore
