Her Garden

I don't know what I need I am stuck In her garden of trees
where all things grow on our leaves
tomatoes fall from her vines and always marching In time
they don't know how to be as they see
I'll stay here for some time see how long I can die
look up into these leaves where i need to be but you are stuck at these trees
Her garden starts to grow try to cope to be alone
stuck in some devouring dreams
I'll take pictures of my heart the colors seep into each art
watch them die as each one starts
memories fly so near remind you why you'll wait here
and when it's time I will see just how grown you can be
but i will always come back to these trees

Today’s the day we hold our hand's tight cause this time we'll get it right
there are still lines I want to read there are still words I want to say this place is empty when we dream devoid of all that could make you leave oh how soft it is to lie and stare through a ceiling every night
time passes nothing changes in our hearts we know it's wrong but expectations never falter I will never mourn that change so we must lie we must lie
I am I am I am I am I am
(sick break down by some godly synth)
I see the colors as they pass by it hurts it's not too nice
I see the lights as they pass it hurts it's not too nice
it's time to go into our hearts where light is warm and words are soft
and if I make this deal what am I really leaving behind?
I'll look into this mirror and tell you what I see
there won't be much of anything
(won't you come away)
(come away)
Please come away you can get what you want you'll be fine for one night we can commit crimes
aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaa
you have so much faith to go in so blind you don't even know what's on the other side and when I can't hear maybe I will see just how alone you can be
peww pew pew pew pew PEW
When I came back from the city I thought that you might wanna kill me
ahahah ooooo
and I know you're bored and I am scared but none of us are going to admit
and I know you're more desperate out of anyone else but you'll never accept that
there's a beautiful crime I can commit I can't be alone so I better commit to it
and when our lives are finally made I'll come back someday so....
we must lie
we must lie
we must lie
I am I am
aaaaaaAAAAAAaaaa
you have so much faith to go in so blind you don't even know what's on the other side
and when the darkness slips into my ears I will have never known such a peace
so when I can't hear maybe I will see just how alone you can be
no answers will be found in the shallow wisdoms of a child so we must lie we must lie we must lie
(god will love you, we will love you)
don't worry this world will change for you I wouldn't worry baby eventually you just shut up
(Have you already forgotten what your face looks like?)

I don't wanna live inside my dreams anymore
I didn't wanna say those things but now you know
so descend into the world you own and start painting your ghost
*None of these portraits look right they all look... off.. their ears... they’re to big
I can talk to you in words that I don't own and no one knows but everyone can do that let's scream their words out so we won't have to be alone
I know I'll miss you
I can't be much without you
you can't be much without me
and that's how it's supposed to be
no one will know I've lived at all
oh no
let's scream their words out so we won't have to be alone
dededededededededede
run away oh human soul with a spirit in your hands for the world is full of many others that you won't understand
run away oh human soul with a spirit in your hands for the world is full of many tears that you won't understand
I know I'll miss you
(It's nice here where your words can sing me to sleep)
ooooooOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH
LALLLALALALALLALALLALALLALAL
LALALALLALLALALLALALLLALALAL
OHHHHHHH OJJHHHH OHHHHHH OHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
where's the organ??
what makes something ugly
is there some criteria for that?
some sort of checklist?
well if there is I'll be the example I'll check those boxes I am your pen
and if this me
then my tree must be empty
so lets... lets.... lets
stare into the mirror for a while
it was nice meeting you again
Let's scream their words out so we won't have to be alone

Even when you were awake you were asleep
the iron city pushes you down through its streets
you fell off the boat and now you're dead at sea
another victim to the crimes we cannot seeee/seaaaa
I had a dream a dream of peace you were a baby and you could sing I had a dream a dream of peace my dad was the father of the newborn king
and we all went to the place where supposed to be
I know you're out there
(bow ba bow bowww)
I knowww you are free (Bow bow Bow Be Bow)
I Knowww you're out there
waiting so long
waiting so long
King of the dreams I suppose
a martyr to a false one should know
waiting so long
waiting so long
Beneath the time stains, we stand
a time-stained by rage seems to be the plan
waiting so long
waiting so long
I know you're out there
(way)
(must be the only way)
I Knowww you are free
(Lo you)
(Must be the only way)
I Knowww you're out there
waiting so long
waiting so long
you could have been anything
you could have been anything
now you're rolling in your sheets
My Mother was Kind to me
My Mother was Kind to me
Oh how'd this come to be

Tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
do you do it out of love or do you do it for fear?
tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
your own wo words won't scrape across your mouth
Your shoes hit the floor, do you feel alright?
it's almost half past three and you can tell by the time
you changed your name to pawn off your skin
to whoever who signs
Tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
do you do it out of love or do you do it for fear?
tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
your own two words won't scrape across your mouth
*short dance break
death tells a funny joke I can hear him call my name
his voice softly echoes over the sweet piano playing
(death playing a sick synth lead)
*tell me what you want, tell me what you want
I love when you do it for the fear
EE EE
tell me what you want, what you want
I love when you do it for the fear
EE EE
It's much too late for you
(late, late)

let's take a look at the heart back then Jesus christ that noise was so dry
I know I've never danced in my life
but I can make it look like I've tried
anybody who has witnessed this
I'm sorry
You never speak to loud
you never look at your hands
that's what it means to be living
I understand
I understand
there are no books to read
there are no films to see
I'll say my name when I feel
I'm just waiting for the perfect song
oooooooooAAAAAAA
well what can we do?
I am tired and my limbs are heavy
all my prayers haven't been answered yet
all my dreams haven't been answered yet
You never speak to loud
you never look at your hands
that's what it means to be living
I understand
I understand
there is no other place we can be
where there are no human beings
and I forgot my name
but in the end the song never changed
I understand we all fall into our limbs of leaves
I understand like a man running away with his hands over his ears
so please won't someone
erase the proof that I was here
won't someone, please erase the proof that I was here

Broken Birds pt 2
04:43

Your hand speaks like a mattress your face talks like a tongue
your words came out wrong, a result of your drum
no more lives to be plucked from these trees
now you'll know and learn how to see
colors lost it's meaning so long ago
another unfamiliar ceiling starts to grow
look through a glass hole hole
of marching tomatoes and banging drums
your soul slips out through your nostrils
and you realize there was none
I wish you could sell it in a jar and take a bit you'll be fine so far
like the birds, you can't fly too far
fly to the nearest star
and mourn your world as it falls away
(A Choice!)
(I DO NOT KNOW Reprise)
(Broken Birds Reprise)
I was born I was born
(Eremos)

Anchorite

Loving you must be the only way
have you been here before
this place seems familiar
hell disguises itself well under the guise of hope some men never figure this out till they end up being chocked by the hope placed around their neck in order to keep them in check by that time they believe no option is left but the end
the anchorite takes the time right tucks himself into bed tight while the silent killer lurks within his own goodnight remember these words well before you let hope in your house for paradise can quickly turn a humble man pathetic oh well
I can recognize your mind and tell that you’re ashamed of me
I can see your mind behind those eyes that paint the picture of the shame you feel for me
Don’t you know?
I hate you to
and I can see the time you paint your mind with all the pictures of the shame you feel for me
Don't you know?
I hate you to
I remember you well you were sitting on your shelf you were acting so brave and so weak and you ran away oh didn't you babe ya just turned your back on the flesh, yes you ran I never once heard you say
loving you must be the only way
this cannot be sustained
you'll end up dead or committing a crime
this cannot be sustained
waiting forever in your own mind
this cannot be sustained
I can see your mind behind those eyes that paint the picture of the shame you feel for me
Don’t you know?
I hate you to
and I can see the time you paint your mind with all the pictures of the shame you feel for me
Don't you know?
I hate you to
and I don't blame you want to be free
let's burn these trees down
yes I don't blame you
you want to be free
and I love you :)
