break heaven
your head on my shoulder,
your fist in my hand.
now the heartache is over
but I'm too weak to stand
too frightened to leave you,
too frightened to breathe.
too frightened to question,
to question belief.
chorus:
break heaven.
make heaven here.
I want you to take me
and make everything clear.
oh, let me guide you back
across the broken glass.
oh let me lay you down
upon the burning grass.
(chorus x 2)
I want you to take me here.
I want you to take me clear.
(chorus x 2)
heartcheat pop
I see him break your body,
I see him steal your mind.
I see him lie beside you,
I see you close your eyes.
I feel the tension rise,
I see you crucified.
(I WANT YOU) - to break me.
(I WANT YOU) - to blow me away.
chorus:
(I WANT YOU) - heartcheat pop.
(I WANT YOU) - heartcheat.
(I WANT YOU) - heartcheat pop.
(I WANT YOU) - heartcheat.
as if you kissed and never said a word;
as if you bled and never said a word;
as if you laughed and never said a word;
as if you left and never said a word.
(I WANT YOU) - to break me.
(I WANT YOU) - to blow me away.
(chorus)
(I WANT YOU) - heartcheat pop.
(I WANT YOU) - heartcheat.
(flower in your mouth...)
housekeeping
you
sit on the floor,
broken like clouds.
you scratch your knees 'til they crack and bleed.
I
walk out of the door,
naked and bored,
and raise my head to the weeping sky.
chorus:
you call my name but I can't answer.
you call my name but I can't say anything.
we
looked at the sea,
sat on the edge.
I gripped your hand until my fingers hurt.
now,
somebody screams on the same dirty beach;
he throws down his arms
and he falls to the sand.
(chorus x 2)
ocean song
at night you just crawl through the wreckage
while the sky's fading light steals your sight.
it seems so easy to think a moment means forever.
chorus 1:
too frightened to fly my ocean, you hit the ground.
too frightened to fly my ocean, you hit the ground.
it seems so easy to think a feeling lasts a lifetime.
it got too dark to see the dirt beneath your feet.
chorus 2:
too frightened to fly my ocean, you hit the ground
too frightened to fly my ocean, it all falls down.
days in the trees
the rain fell soft
on the green and distant fields.
I saw you run
to the shelter of the trees.
I stood alone
with weeds and broken bricks -
my pale fingers curled
round blades of autumn grass.
chorus:
I heard your feet crack earth and branch
but you were covered by the leaves.
I shouted out and called your name
but you were hiding in the trees.
days in the trees.
You rubbed the sleep from my tired eyes
and let the real taste of god
change the colour of my thoughts.
I was draining the heaven
from the warmth of your breasts;
lighting fire on the stone.
I tore at the seams
of my smooth and laundered clothes
and ran to the trees
racing naked against the day.
(chorus repeat)
days in the trees.
the ascent to your heaven,
spending days in the trees.
(I can't stand him laughing at us)
taking it like a man
I thought of your perfect limbs.
I thought of your mind;
I woke up hungry,
I woke up blind.
I thought of your flaming lips,
I thought of your smell;
I woke up choking,
drowning in hell.
chorus:
too weak to make the stand;
just taking it like a man.
I thought of your breathing head,
I thought of your voice;
I lost my reason,
I lost my choice.
I thought of your beating heart,
I thought of your touch.
I thought of screaming.
I thought too much.
(chorus)
too late to heal the madness,
too late to understand.
lovecry
the songs that moved you
don't make a sound.
the light that saved you
now gone to ground.
you pull all the pictures down
from your crumbling walls.
you take all the faith you've found
and knock it down and watch it crawl.
chorus:
sometimes you listen to love cry.
sometimes you question why.
the dull white faces
of dull white friends
can't find the words that
will heal or mend.
you fall to the bathroom floor
on your bended knees,
your fist hits against the door -
you're staring at the way it bleeds.
(chorus)
sometimes you laugh like the water.
sometimes you lie and die.
sometimes you question why.
sometimes you question why.
you question why,
why.
