Glowing in the cold
With a light that never shone
For anyone
Plausible defense
You never had a chance
Except for one
Found it in a book
And lost everything they took
Before they put you down
Staged a brave escape
While the dogs bit down the gates
In the river town
[Chorus:]
Time's up
Line up
the chase is over now, so
turn your ear
Home skies
incandescent lights
These fires can't burn hot
and bright forever
The heat of paradise
Was what you wanted all your life
(Not a Hypocrite)
So you gave it all to him
your sheets were wearing thin
Just keep a hold on it
Burned through the cocaine
Now the streets dance on your name
You don't owe anyone
And all this world except for you
Couldn't make a thing come true
Now what's done is done
[Chorus]
Crows still sing their peace
Over everybody's feast
and the smoking stacks
With every passing cloud
You were wondering aloud
whether I'd come back
The path that brought me here
Covered with the white veneers
of your smiling hosts
Goes back where I was born
Under sky and telephone
In the ground where you and I were young---
Time's up
Line up
the chase is over now, so
turn your ear
Home skies
incandescent lights
These fires can't burn hot
and bright forever

Fighting Me

I'm slowly gaining on yesterday
Just a taste of what a state I'm in
Tomorrow's just another game to me
That I'll forget to begin
And I've told you too many times
That I'm nothing but a fool for you
I've got the rhythm, but I've got no rhyme
I might be here a while
Yeah, the sun goes down steeping darkness in self-pity
The moon comes up over this excuse for a city
I fall down forgetting all but what's around
And then I stand up to realize I'm only fighting me
Fighting me
There are things I thought I'd never say
One of them was 'goodbye'
You're not a fool enough to keep me around
But I thought I'd give it a try
I knew we'd find ourselves a parallel
To what was true before
Deeply embedded in a place called Hell
I can't go there anymore
Yeah, the sun goes down steeping darkness in self-pity
The moon comes up over this excuse for a city
I fall down forgetting all but what's around
And then I stand up to realize I'm only fighting me
Fighting me
Fighting me
Fighting me
I'm slowly gaining on yesterday
Just a taste of what a state I'm in
Tomorrow's just another game to me
That I'll forget to begin
Yeah, the sun goes down steeping darkness in self-pity
The moon comes up over this excuse for a city
I fall down forgetting all but what's around
And then I stand up to realize I'm only fighting me
Fighting me
Fighting me
Fighting me

It's not a question of what's meant to be
Cuz what we see and do is a choice
So don't depend on me to comfort you
Cuz I only speak to hear my own voice
Don't leave it up to me
I'll only be the one to bring you down
Could I get you to be
The one I'll always want to be around?
It's only time before we all are gone
And there's nothing left to live for anymore
So it's not over, but it's never real
Cuz when we feel too much we have to go
Don't leave it up to me
I'll only be the one to bring you down
Could I get you to be
The one I'll always want to be around?
It's not a question of what's meant to be
Cuz when we say too much we have to go

It's now three years
Since you told me
Crush it out on the table
I'm still here
And you said you couldn't
Love another
But that just struck me
As something insincere
We'd go down
Walking quiet
To light up the fires beneath
You'd call it the truth
I'd take you home
To sleep like you'd never want to leave
But it's three years since
You said nothing
And that's what I loved,
but I couldn't see
A fools life
Can burn away like
The cigarettes
I keep here under my feet.
It's three years
Since you said nothing
You were who I loved
But I couldn't see
A fool's life
Can burn away
Like the cigarettes
I keep here under my feet.

Slide this way
There's nothing left to be now
But the things that we can't say
Trust your mind
The heart's a beautiful liar
because it stays inside
-chorus
Okay
That's fine
Okay
That's fine
Okay
You were never mine
Okay
Okay
That's fine
Dream in sounds
water rushes over
the emptiness you found
Let's go downtown
soon all this will be over
gravity pulls down
(Chorus)
Don't blink
Ignore the awful screaming
let me pour you a drink
Trust your mind
The heart's a beautiful liar
because it stays inside
(Chorus)
