attraction in the knowing that attraction is unknown,
solitude is wasted sitting by the telephone.
only sudden warnings seem to keep the shock at bay,
i’m thinking of a face i cant recall with any name.
only just to make it through the day.
closer to a stranger, than anyone i love.
the less space the better, distance is a gun.
tension in the knowing that attention isn’t whole,
every move is easy when the shit’s about to fold.
noises from the factory above keep me wide awake,
I’m looking for a face that i can put next to your name.
only just to make it through the day.
closer to a stranger, than anyone i love.
the less space the better, distance is a gun.
and I’m feeling stranger than anyone i love.
you don’t know what i'm doing, you don’t know what i've done.
dead still in a heartbeat
make him bleed but he just won't give it away.

Make Sure

you hold you're place in my brain, to prove there's comfort in pain.
it's always gonna last, the one thing that i cant help ask.
did you have to float away at the end of may?
when all i wanted was to make sure, that your heart stayed the same.
and to tell you that 'i love you and i wont let that change'.
oh, to keep up with the bullshit that was thrown my way.
just before you laid to rest, you rescued me.
you could be my family.
i still don't know what it means.
can't help that i'm less than sentimental when the sweet, soft feeling of the pill's drop.
into hell, you couldn't tell or even ask.
i'm sorry that i went away at the end of may.
when all i wanted was to make sure that your heart stayed the same
and to tell you that 'i love you and i wont let that change',
couldn't keep up with the bullshit that was thrown our way.
i better tell you that i love you.
but i throw you away from me.
am i taking the bait?
when all i really wanted was to make sure that your heart stayed the same
and to tell you that 'i love you and i wont let that change'.
make sure. make sure. make sure. make sure
that i love you, but i lost you, and i misuse, but i miss you.
that i love you, but i lost you, and i misuse, but i miss you.
(i can’t tell you) yes I love you.

Eliza

eliza told me nothing.
she never gave me anything.
denied i heard her cry through the panels on the wall.
i gave her my possession, though she had it all.
ready made.
big star.
you sound like him, sound like me.
don't throw like him, hate me, erase me.
like i did, you knew i knew, you knew.
we made it through, but you…
never fed me anything but jealousy and anger
getting used to girls that didn't know the truth.
just beautifully painted youth
i swear i didn't know the truth
eliza didn't say.
eliza left today.
eliza.
eliza, tell me something. (for what? for what? for what? for what?)
you never needed anything. (for god, for trust, for love, for us)
eliza i made you up.
eliza, i made you up.
but i think you make up me.

You Say I Say To Much
03:22

there are two of us in here,
watching over you like angels.
reading words on paper.
life is starting to make sense,
above the highs and lows, the essence.
of what you call experience.
you say i say too much.
have i said too much?
alright, i see the sun set in your eyes.
keeping me alive, keeping me from trying.
alright, you only call to tell me why nothing makes you cry
it's only for a while.
there is nothing i can do,
sit in here until the sun moves.
i never want to leave you.
so take this hand I’m holding out.
oh mother, don’t you wish you could now.
don't you wish you knew how.
you say, what you say
than you fall away.
you breathe, you see me.
fall away.
you say i say too much.
have i said too much?

Control
04:02
|

it’s strange in these shadows.
they rain where i stand, and follow where I lead.
offering my best,
offering my hand.
it's not what you need.
i know it's true, it's harder for me than you.
the air we breathe is all we have,
all we have to live.
survived on the coldest night.
hope is gone, but love is strong.
so i plead, i ask for control,
control i hold,
to let me grow old.
i know it's true, it's harder for me than you.
the air we breathe is all we have,
all we have to live.
i know we're through, i feel it when i feel you.
sweet past tense, it's over now.
over now.
if you fell under, i could not recover.
i could not recover.
if you fell under, i could not recover.
i could not recover.
if you fell under, i could not recover.
i could not recover.
and now i'm under, i'm just another,
i'm just another, lover.
all we have, over now.
