The Alien Song (for those who listen)
I see a shining....
A sweeping from the clouds
A glimmer of hope
is coming to feel our light
Oh look it's flashing
This life among the stars
Reaching out to know us
to feel our might
Oh... this restless hope in you
Please... try and help us
Stand on our own
As we stopped on this pavement
and saw your dying mind
Paper, for which you're killing brothers life
Help you, we cannot trust you
we cannot understand
Your people's proud destruction
Of their own land
Oh... we're flying on from you
We... will not stay to see your fate
Watch them fly away
Watch them fly away
See the lines across the sky
Watch them fly... away
Reaching over
life to life
feeling sugared skin
my poor baby
kissed him so
to ashamed to lift his chin
a voice is speaking
he's the prophet
blinded by the light
a heart is breaking
I can hear it
dropped when gone beyond my sight
hey there, Mr. Talk Too Much
what's in store for us now?
I don't know how to speak to you
I don't know how to trust you
I don't kow how to live for you
I don't know how to love you
the gentleman who fell before the court
I feel your closeness
like a shotgun
a chill within my soul
I touch your finger
know your darkness
your passion takes its' toll
can't see that this talk is cheap
let the suffering go
Repeat First Chorus
Repeat First B Section
Repeat Chorus
We had this dream
locked behind these wicked thoughts
you and I
we felt pain
passed from him, to me, to you
reaching out
into the empty space
we lost our place
It's your life
it's your soul
it's everything
you give to him
it's my heart
in your hands
keep it or just let it fall
another stone
placed in my wall
I brush away
the flaming hair across your cheek
to see these eyes
that lit my life
now they're cold and dark and gone
with your smile
I'll cross this hopeless line
but don't waste time
Repeat Chorus
it's your life
it's your mind
choices that you make my love
it's my heart in your hands
keep it or just let it fall
another stone placed in my wall
can't we see above
this wall?
How can I be telling you my thoughts my love
When even I don't know what I'm thinking
How can I explain the way your eyes
Burn into my mind, my love
For when you talk to me
I'm blind 'cause you set me free
and you hold me and your fingers
touching me
What if we decide to break these walls?
This from me, the builder
Can we give this love a fair chance?
And only cease when it fades
And when I see your face
Locked in my memory
And you hold me
And I'm giving up to you
Reaching from nowhere
Feeling for your hands
Screaming out your name
Nearing towards you
Reaching from nowhere
Feeling for your hands
Screaming out your name
Nearing towards you
Nearing towards you
Reaching from nowhere
Feeling for your hands
Screaming out your name
Nearing towards you
Nearing towards you
Now, be free
the sky must have fallen
when I couldn't see
your life's weak strain
I take a step back
and you've fallen again
But if you'd listened
a little closer
reaching over
this cold shoulder
Oh Charlie, a boy and his toys
I see you lying stiff and cold
spread out upon the bedroom floor
kiss me darling with those
pale lips once more
hands could never comfort you
not so well as steel could do
Freak on in
did you think ths time
you would finally win
a trip of life
Repeat B section
Repeat Chorus
Reeling spinning out of lies
daisy vision in your eyes
boat is sinking someone cries
you have left me to surmise
your surprise
Welcome down to Ruby Lane
Take your pick, sir
We're all the same
The sky is my one direction
The earth is my bed
Welcome down to Ruby Lane
Save your soul, man
For life's a game
receive me as a dancing monkey
And throw me a dime
And if you see my brother
You'll know 'cause he's wearing no shoes
Won't you be so good, man
As to throw him some food
You come back now and share your peace
We'll still be here
'Til time's release
I'm here with my one companion
The road beneath my feet
And if you see my brother
You'll know 'cause he's wearing no shoes
Won't you be so good, man
As to throw him some food
Welcome down to Ruby Lane
Take your pick, sir
We're all the same
I'm here with my one companion
The road beneath my feet
I'm here with my one companion
The road beneath my feet
Hey little devil that dwells inside
this angel's body, this angel's mind
he said "all I need is Jesus to fly"
take a little peak through that head of hair
I know somewhere there are eyes in there
trying to hide a heart that's shining, so bright
they said "what makes you different, from us?"
we're gonna bang your head, down
I've got a dream that's growing inside me
I'm ready to burst and set it free
I know god waits in the city, of angels
now I've been building a wall these many years
I feel safe inside hiding all my fears
don't hold your breath
if you're trying to touch me
they said "don't believe in yourself
we're gonna band your head, down
we're gonna band your head
band your head down"
We are aging
soon to pass away
so cruel to never know, never know
never finish what was started.
My whole life's been really strange
I've been running in circles
trying to make a change
I transcend myself with Billy I'm home
I'm locked in a box
With a window and a clock
Sometimes I can't sleep
I watch the second hand feeding
Time is ticking, ticking
And the flowers are dripping, dripping
I am awake and I cannot sleep
All hail to the madman
Great murderer, great Aryan
Take all that you need
Take my life, my song, my breed
Fires are burning, burning
My people are yearning, yearning
I'm locked away to defy and die
Instrumental
I'm locked in a box
With a window and a clock
Sometimes I can't sleep
I watch the second hand feeding
Time is getting colder
And I'm getting older, older
Where is the face that I knew before
I am awake and I cannot sleep
Hello sunshine
Please don't fade away
See our genius
Warp what we created
No, don't fade away
Stepping over
Shadows from your smile
Losing Myself
In these waves of light
No, don't fade away, No, don't fade away
See them washing
Hearts with teardrops
Bless these simple souls
Baby soldiers
Marching onward
Watch their hopeless eyes
No, don't fade away, No, don't fade away
Oh my, am I high
Is that a glow up in the sky
Oh my, am I high
Is that a glow up in the sky
Whitewashed liars
Stupid teachers
Blinded are these broken dreamers
Little rulers
Who will teach them time ... time
No, don't fade away, No, don't fade away
No, don't fade away
Oh my, am I high
Is that a glow up in the sky
Oh my, am I high
Is that a glow up in the sky
No I haven't seen the flowers yet
From the broken seeds I'd planted
But the ground is still too red
From the wickedness you did
Could you break my heart?
It's so easy you know
You did it all before
You know, you did it all before
Can you feel it?
Can you fell this moment?
If you could be me
The said would be left unsaid
Just refuse my heart
Don't abuse my heart
You did it all before
You know, you did it all before
Your pocket of schemes
Has split at the seams
I don't need to argue anymore
You're left exposed
Wearing yesterday's clothes
Now you've undone the
stitches we've sewn
Just refuse my heart
Don't abuse my heart
You did it all before
You know, you did it all before
Your pocket of schemes
Has split at the seams
I don't need to argue anymore
You're left exposed
Wearing yesterday's clothes
Now you've undone the
stitches we've sewn

In the forest near the Danube river,
there is a nightingale singing,
he sings to gather everyone from his family
In the forest near the Danube river,
there is a bass vibrating and a fiddle crying,
I think of a place where my lovely one is strolling now
In the forest near the Danube river,
I am sick with my loneliness,
crying, I want to fly like a bird,
to where my lovely one is now.
(Anonymous / Traditional Ukrainian Folk Song)

En un Claro
En el bosque cerca del río Danubio,
hay un ruiseñor cantando,
el canta para reunir a toda su familia
En el bosque cerca del río Danubio,
hay un bajo vibrando y un violín llorando,
Yo pienso en el lugar donde mi amor se esta paseando
En el bosque cerca del río Danubio,
Yo estoy enfermo con mi soledad,
llorando, y quiero volar como un pájaro,
a donde mi amor esta ahora.
(German Translation - Thanks to Vivian)
Im Wald nahe des Danube Flusses,
singt eine Nachtigal,
sie singt um jeden aus der Familie zusammenzurufen
Im Wald nahe des Danube Flusses,
vibriert ein Bass und eine Fidel kreischt,
Ich denke an einen Ort wo mein Liebling sich grad rumtollt
Im Wald nahe des Danube Flusses,
Bin ich krank von meiner Einsamkeit,
weine, ich will wie ein Vogel fliegen,
dahin wo jetzt mein Liebling ist.
(Portugese Translation - Thanks to José aka Fixxxer)
Em uma Clareira
Em um bosque perto do rio Danúbio,
um rouxinol canta,
ele canta para reunir todos de sua família
Em um bosque perto do rio Danúbio,
há um baixo vibrando e um violino chorando
Penso no lugar onde meu amor estará agora passeando
Em um bosque perto do rio Danúbio,
estou doente e solitária,
chorando, quero voar como um pássaro,
para onde meu amor agora está
(Hungarian Translation - Thanks to Fellegi Dénes)
Egy tisztáson
Az erdöben a Duna folyó mellett,
egy csalogány énekel,
azt énekli, hogy mindenkit összegyüjtenek a családjából
Az erdöben a Duna folyó mellett,
egy basszus vibrál és egy hegedü sír,
arra a helyre gondolok, ahol a kedvesem sétálgat most
Az erdöben a Duna folyó mellett,
belebetegszem a magányomba,
sírok, repülni akarok, mint egy madár,
oda, ahol a kedvesem van most.

Na jasi
V gozdu blizu danbeke reke,
slavec je ki poje,
poje da skli?e vse iz druine svoje
V gozdu blizu danbeke reke,
se postrv trese in gosli igrajo,
razmiljam o kraju,
kjer se moj ljubi potika
v gozdu blizu danbeke reke,
samo jaz, ter samota moja,
jokam, leteti ho?em kakor ptica,
kjer se moj ljubi potika

About In A Glade
The lyrics of the song tell the story of a girl who can't get away to see her paramour; he is far away, because of the war with the Turks of the Ottoman Empire.
She said that the song is a very widely known Ukrainian (not Russian) folk song of the "lyrical" variety, dating from the 1600s, when the Turks of the Ottoman Empire were trying to conquer the areas of Ukraine, as well as other parts of Europe. Another type of folk song is the historical, which reports on events.
Here's a little general background. After the Turks took over the Crimea, they went after Ukraine. The battles with the Turks went on for around 200 years. The Turks were quite brutal in their warmaking; they tortured the Ukrainians, who were mainly Christians, in an attempt to dominate them and turn the country into a Moslem stronghold.
Bird-related imagery is common in Ukrainian lyrical folksongs from that era. It was common for Ukraine to be referred to metaphorically as a seagull in these lyrical folksongs, and the nightingale reference in "In A Glade" is another example.
Other points of note. The repetition of the first line throughout the song was a common stylistic touch in the lyrical folksongs of that era. Likewise, the songs usually took their titles from the line being repeated, which brings us to the translation itself.
The Slavic languages don't have articles in them. They have no word "the", for example. My friend--and she asked her husband to back her up on this even--was adamant that the word "forest" was the lyric, not "glade". Now, a glade is *in* a forest, and perhaps Milla knows the song as it is interpreted by people in more modern times to specifically refer to a glade rather than a forest, but otherwise, we are left with a situation where the first line of the verses could be either "in forest", "in glade", "in a forest", or "in the glade". Is this complicated enough yet?
The other thing of note here is the way Milla sounds while singing it. My friend's husband put it his way, "She has a hard Russian accent while singing in Ukrainian".
That's about it. More than you bargained for, I'm sure. Now you know what Milla meant when she said the song was "scary", though.
(Richard Handal)
In Ukrainian songs, Dunai (Danube) just means a river, any river, any stream, not specifically the Danube. (Orysia T.)

Can You Bend Your Back Like This? MP3 sample
In my reckless lifelong rambling
I saw a man break one day
Such a saint, he only lived on paint
He only spoke in prose
Gave his life to save his soul
When he walked out one day
He said, "Please don't believe them
They never understand the triumph the goal of victory
Tell them flippant things and starlet rings
And eyes and nervous laughter
But never say what's on your mind."
Who's gonna take?
And who's gonna swallow?
All these empty dreams back
What of tomorrow?
Wanting more for no abilities
Is this for whom we must provide?
Curse this thing that's called achievement
Curse your striding bounds
Kill the fire in your eyes
Who's gonna take?
And who's gonna swallow?
All these empty dreams back
What of tomorrow?
You see it
But could you ever believe it?
Your fate
But could you really heed it?
Can't help it
But can you bend your back like this?
Take your damn lies and go
I shrugged this world off my shoulders
Pretty crowds who speak and clouds
Great wits of conversation
Skim this life but never live
Come as you like
Bearing smiles or screams or backdoor dreams babe
as you like
Come as you like
Smoking fools and pipes or making faces
as you like
It's been cold
Flying on a power in the breeze
Prayed so much you nearly lost your knees
The story's old
Trying to be a harmony when
someone comes crashing into me, yeah
Come as you like...you like
Come as you like
I've got curious ears and a cozy mind
So let's curl up some time
Come as you like
I'll just winnow me down
I won't close my eyes
So let your kisses fly
It's been cold
Flying on a power in the breeze
Prayed so much you nearly lost your knees
The story's old
Trying to be a harmony when
someone comes crashing into me, yeah
Come as you like, yeah
You, you
Come as you like, yeah
Your life
You...your life, your life, your life...baby
It's been cold
Flying on a power in the breeze
Prayed so much you nearly lost your knees
The story's old
Trying to be a harmony when
someone comes crashing into me, yeah
Come as you like, yeah
You, you
Come as you like, yeah
You, you
Come as you like...your life
And you'd never know, falling
How well the wind blows
But you never feel it
When you're falling
Cause when you're falling
You're not free
Will we ever share how we feel
When our dreams touch
But our dreams they don't have choices
Don't have lips and don't have voices
Don't have flowers when you're shrinking
Give you hours of their dreams
We will have to tread softly
Else wake the big night
But she's stringing stars' moonlight
We won't wrong her
With a big fight
Come be sweetly, come be mild
Put me in your pocket
I feel I've lost the story
But should've not have been
I close my eyes to try
Find what can't be seen
I smell of crazy days
Lazy haze and you
??? to you
Let's talk of what I need
Shall we?
I need you beside me
We're free tonight
When we need we're not free
We're free tonight
When we need we're not free
Mother I'd like to stay and talk for a minute
You see I'm a lady now
Somehow we're seeing eye to eye
Been searching for a key to set me free
From rowdy people, places
Flipping through old faces
So tell me where these keys go to dine
On words of wisdom with dinner and wine
Give me more of this precious time
To bring some light to this young mind
We've done the time
You and I in our venture
To get the sweetness of life
No more lies, no more objectives
Twisted partings and misconceptions
Days go by like sweet summer breeze
I don't know I...can't feel them anymore
Give me more of this precious time
To bring some light to this young mind, mind, mind
Mother I feel so tired
Let me place my head right here on...on your shoulder
Oh this world can hurt so many
Oh so many people throughout this life
Short in past
So tell me where these keys go to dine
On words of wisdom with dinner and wine
Give me more of this precious time
To bring some light to this young mind, mind, mind
mind, mind, mind
mind, mind, mind
She's gonna go over to him
Say that it's over with him
She knows that their love will never win
Say that it's over with him
She knows herself better than any man could
When she's under his pressure she's not feeling misunderstood
Such strange behavior
From a man who is better than good
Will he still love her
If she wants to love him different way than he wants?
She's gonna go over to him
Say that it's over with him
She knows that their love will never win
Say that it's over with him
She knows herself better than any man could
When she's under his pressue she's not feeling misunderstood
Such strange behavior
From a man who is better than good
Will he still love her
If she wants to love him different way than he wants?
She knows he loves her
She can't love him like he wants her to love him
She can't love him like he wants her to love him
to love him
to love
to love
From the Kennedy Interview on MTV's Alternative Nation
If you, with you, with you
You I light the sky with brush bright
Shake a little now
This candy tree needs a shaking
So bring all your coocoos and clouds
Be my friend,
That word friend and I were on personal terms
Will be a glimmer of friend
Like, like the sequins in my skirts
I friend you while you touch
Three days old
Still whistles in my skin
It's all so soft and lovely
With you
Hey you hey you hey you hey you
With the flying fingers and the scent that lingers
Some music
And then I thought it'd be a happy song
I guess we sang it wrong
Maybe I wrote it wrong
Be my friend,
That word friend and I were on personal terms
Will be a glimmer of friend
Like, like the sequins in my skirts
I friend you while you touch
Three days old
Still whistles in my skin
It's all so soft and lovely
With you
Christened crown now,
With an invitation with an exclamation like golden ages
My aggravated rose
Is a thorn in her nose
Her scratches on my face
Where is your white horse?
Another month goes by
I wake up as it ends
I crawl into my living space
Where is your white horse?
Where is your white horse?
Where is your face?
All of my
All of my private places expire
All of my private places (x2)
All of my private places expire
All of my private places (x2)
All of my private places expire
All of my private places (x2)
All of my private places expire
Of my, of my
All of my private places expire
Of my, of my, of my...

Oh pretty creature
From what door did you arrive?
Oh what madness will you drive me to?
Let me kiss your hand
And send you back smaller then sand
Swimming in your black mind
You often take me off inside my head
Let me take a ride and worship
Your size
Let me take a ride and worship
Your size
Oh I'm dying
Dying myself with colors of you
Remembering our sweet pretending
Oh big lover
Fun will protect like love
Oh most beautiful as the con-creature
Meet me at the motel six
You said you'd always be my lover
Cause there is no place like the snowman
For just another moment
There is no place like the snowman
For just another moment
Let me take a ride and worship your size (x3)

it takes me years
to come down to the door
the floor is strewn with glass and promises
i'd have to walk for miles of compromise
to dive into the water
-your words they echo
from here to the sea
sweet words shot from my favorite gun
my body's old from you
and indecision
still at your door with seven knives inside
you keep me here-
you lock my doubts in your heart
you know my doubts by heart
my heart holds court to seven knives
seven demons in the night
give me freedom by the litre
freedom on a desert isle
-chorus-
All the clouds roll on
Roll on before you
Who can say anything
When the sun shines, it shines
I turn my face towards your face
Alone facing the sun
Facing the sun
Then the wind will follow
Blowing away trace of tomorrow
On the hill grows
A single silver rose
On the hill grows
Everything I'd ever longed for
Find myself walking on
So far...so far
Look behind the wind's fire
My sun still shinning away
How many times did I look behind?
Stare at my sun to light
Blind to die
No the sparks came and went like sparks do
Time and fire never tried to help them stay
But my sun burns my own lies and dries them
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
(transcribed by Natasha Memmott)
Everyday the boat drives me away
Everyday it drives me away
Watch the sun set and rise
The sunrise
Overland becomes smaller and smaller
Don't wait there when I'll go
I closed the door but I did not lock it
I tried to get lost
But my feet getting close to the water wall
It's fast and thicker
Everyday the boat drives me away
Everyday it drives me away
Watch the sun set and rise
The sunrise
Overland becomes smaller and smaller
Run from the shore
Run follow
Sea turns to stone, sky turns to gray
What now a thousand miss sky promises
Make me forget and let me forget
Everyday the boat drives me away
Oh everyday it drives me away
I searched the books and I searched your body
Another horizon searches for me

Satellite's gone
up to the sky
Things like that drive me
out of my mind
I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV
Satellite of love (x2)
Satellite's gone
way up to Mars
Soon it will be filled (baby)
with parking cars
I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV
Satellite of love (repeat)
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday
Monday, Tuesday, Wednessday, Friday (repeat)
Satellite's gone
up to the sky
Things like that drive me
out of my mind
I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV
Satellite of love (repeat)
(from the Underworld soundtrack)
rocket collecting dust
hidden from all memory
bathed in outrage and rust
waiting for you and me
to own it
watch you as you douse the ceiling
light up all the evil dreams
till they ignite screaming into the night
and we run away clean
chorus:
i wish i was half electronic
the last shreds of skin are in the sweet sunlight
and i've turned into this smiling, snarling monster
as i watch the walls descend
as i watch the walls descend like stars
half submersed
i reach your island at night
washed up tangled on these stones
a gorgeous wreck crashing
to lay here for the next 600 years
the storm will play out there for miles on every side
so tell me who's got the dominoes
but you'll have to leave your lightning outside
-chorus-
the weeds reach the top of the trees
(from the Underworld: Rise of the Lycans soundtrack)
Floating here like this with you
Underneath the stars, alight for 13 billion years
The view is beautiful, ours alone tonight
Underneath the stars
Spinning round and round with you
Watching shadows melt the light
Soft shining from our eyes
Into another space is ours alone tonight
Watching shadows melt
And the waves break
And the waves break
Whisper in my ear a wish
We could drift away held tight
Your voice inside my head
The kiss is infinite and ours alone tonight
We could drift away
Flying here like this with you
Underneath the stars alight for 13 billion years
The view is beautiful and ours alone tonight
Underneath the stars
And everything gone and all still to come
As nothing to us together as one
In each others arms, so near and so far
Forever as now underneath the stars
As the waves break
What do you know? (repeated throughout)
The birds and the bees they got wise to the lies
So they took to the trees and took to the skies
On top of the chain and safe from the rain
Whatcha' know about the ways of the underside?
Bought a hot shot gat from a north end guinea
'Cause they're hip to the bull and they're hip to the lies
Ante up witcha ass 'cause you ain't got a penny
Whatcha' know about the ways on the underside?
Bought a hot shot gat from a north end guinea
Ante up witcha ass 'cause you ain't got a penny
Droppin' bombs from above cut ya all down to size
'Cause they're hip to the bull and they're hip to the lies
Yeah, the streets rose in two perfect waves in the night
One crashes on my left, and one on my right
It's all fire and brimstone baby, so let's go outside
It's all fire and brimstone baby, I got my brand new pistol baby
Bought a hot shot gat from a north end guinea
Ante up witcha ass 'cause you ain't got a penny
Droppin' bombs from above cut you all down to size
'Cause they're hip to the bull and they're hip to the lies
And they're hip to the lies
Our turn to decide, who lives and who dies
Right in front of your eyes, it's time to get up
Our turn to decide, who lives and who dies
Now wise to the lies it's time to get up
Our turn to decide, who lives and who dies
Whatcha' know about the ways on the underside?
Bought a hot shot gat from a north end guinea
Now answer the lies, it's time to get up
Ante up with your ass 'cause you ain't got a penny
Time to get up
Dropping bombs from above cut you all down to size
Now wise to the lies, it's time to get up
'Cause they're hip to the bull and they're hip to the lies
And they're hip to the lies
Our turn to decide, who lives and who dies
Now wise the lies it's time to get up
Our turn to decide, who lives and who dies
Right in front of your eyes, it's time to get up
Our turn to decide, who lives and who dies
Now wise to the lies it's time to get up
Our turn to decide, who lives and who dies

i see you breaking up in water
sinking to the bottom
watching reruns of my dreams
we fade away tonight
i'm washed by sea into the sky...
-i don't know how i fell into you
we just keep falling away
when we get close-
(Demo: You are welcome to download the MP3 and remix it, but you may not sell it. Enjoy!)
timing ain't holding up
but my world is blowin up
you make me feel so fine
now you're surprised that i ain't ordinary
-i feel me breathing in your sleep
can you feel it?-
grazing your lips with my fingertips
we wake up a few times
to speak of dreams that make it hard to sleep
-are you dying in your dreams
i know sometimes i can feel it
turn into to stone by the light of morning
disappear without meaning
are you taking up time
that thoughts pressing thru my mind
oh baby, i'm fine
can you believe it?
can you believe it?
(Demo: You are welcome to download the MP3 and remix it, but you may not sell it. Enjoy!)
i feel akin to
a window
feel your face is
slamming thru
your eyes
i smash in little pieces
talking toy our picture
it turns to dream
within my mind
he dresses me in sunshine
this sky of mine
streams of sea
fall down on me
the sun comes through
the cloud
on the wall there is no shadow
wash me with your hands
i'm walking on
calm water
he dresses me in sunshine
this sky of mine
how would you love me if i was your girl?

we're released
like fireworks
streaking out in great bright lines
diving up
into the sky
reach out and crush us night
receive us
receive us with honor
-breathe out here
we're released like fireworks-
weeks go by unseen
they're feeding ghosts in the twilight
and you with your terrible sweet ways
and winding roads
drop me headfirst into the trees
and see if i can't fall any higher
i hold a blade
of one blade of grass
to your heart
-chorus-
i'll take off from the surface of the water
diving up
you're at the edge of my vision
a crazy missile
glittering and silent
and it feels good rising up
and it feels like it's never gonna stop
i get fired
i just breathe out
i've been fired
-chorus-

another crystal grin
to make up for the dark skies
put on my best dress so the mess
won't touch my little insides
did you think i'd still be greener
than the weed inside your glass pipe?
greener than the vomit on your shirt
dreaming of a lady strangling a flower
a pretend park with pretend children
in your pretend sight
my love was waiting open armed and close hearted
still out there with his setting sun
-and if i could just
fall too soon
i still wouldn't get there quick enough
waiting,waiting...
there still wouldn't be no one waiting around
but i'll get myself there anyhow-
i cup the silence
so your whisper can be seen
just me and kim marie
were braiding eyes and thoughts and memories
can't put my finger on the way you taste
or what's your face
or... what was that you told me with a sigh?
-chorus-
why put that dream in your scream?
why tell me to fuck off?
put the past in the sugar bowl
make it all a little creamier...
if i could just...
fall too soon...

all the drops
on his cheeks are frozen up
red cheeks are turning into rock
rocks for eyes
blind like desire
soft and deep and counting
shades of quiet
living in your fire
living as fire
test myself like
a nuclear site
getting tired
of my insides
turn my filters on
i'm a flashlight
i'm a flash of light
i fly to hit the sky
flying so high
i look down on the sky
feast your eyes
on my little petal
put my firefly
on the mantle
hard to pass him by
without sighing
"how can i say goodbye
to a firefly..."
-chorus-
easier to look outside
on these knees
no tears spill over
shake awake
to stare out there...
how do i say goodbye
to a firefly?
i'm a flashlight
i'm a firefly

brace myself
space myself
throw myself from the window
throw myself from an aerial view
of the highest
a holy fall
it was a holy fall...
-Holy fall
it was a holy fall that brought me here
holy fall
it was a holy fall that brought me-
wrinkled old doll face
on her way to the ball
i've got only myself
to thank for it all
i can picture you almost brushin up against me
ican picture you almost touchin me
and it's not dark at all
it's not dark at all in here
-chorus-
yea, it brought me to this place
into this gorgeous time

oh jesus don't stare
go to the store
and buy you some air
buy a six pack of air
and bring it back home to you
she said she's wait for me
with her blonde, red, brown hair
she dances to
lonely old songs
in the living room
-looking for room-
wash me and let me get cold
spinning in circles to dry
try to lead me into the fog
just like a dog
and it sounds so amazing
like backwards guitar
i move behind
the silk folding screen door
-looking for room-

who r u
what r u on?
i don't know if i really wanna know cause
you're gonna sweep me out
i wanna cut it away
i wanna lose my body
i send you my thoughts
we bleed into entropy
you're gonna spread me out
chorus:
what collides?
what r we?
do we die?
wake old and weak and slow
and wonder
did i have control?
give me a little light before i close my eyes
and i'll see you down there
when i open them the next time
to see you i gotta shift my focus
i can feel my body breathe
but it's not air
cause air's a dream
we're always changing thru our mind
you'll still know me by my smile
-chorus-
i lose my heart in wind and water
but lost is just what can't be seen
besides what is and what things were
there's worlds of what was in between
worlds folded more than 4

hold...
this morning to you
all night i flew
here i go...
open the floor
open the mirrored sky
catch these feelings falling by
clean your mouth out
with words that don't hurt
-the fall won't be too long-
clear you'll find me
standing by
clearing here a place to die
hold it
oh, i'm holding
i'm holding on...
-chorus-
i hold it
i hope
i hold
aha!

carolina
june bugs
hotel
smell
large windows
look inside
checkin people
checkin in
smelling like perfume
woman after woman
right away
on cue
california
let me go
i'll fly anytime
-take me to mars
burn in the sun
nothing but your eyes
clouds... clouds underwater-
i always like to take
pictures from car windows
drive and drive and drive and drive
and always trying to race my life
well, carolina
carolina here i come
june bugs on your back porch
hey let's have some fun
-chorus-
push you away to me
grey skies are blue
blue skies for me...

Drown my head
In the fire
Were moving faster now
Burning brighter
watch as you fade out
I'm left and right
walking up and down
getting closer to, the point of impact
hold me, under
stay away and stay "I can never decide with you"
my heart my whole life override my mind
what I wait to find
to make me go blind
and the whole world, is rising
Throw myself
you go down below
watch the vapor, slide through the water
at last, he'll run
I'm a good old dog
Runnin' down the road
Barkin' at the moon
Runnin' Wild
I'm a good old dog
Got nothin' to do with any of you
Caress my head, and I'm yours for life
I kill anybody that's hurted you
Headlights in the road
Headlights make me blind
I got nothin' to do with any of you
Two great spots of light
Good old dog never knew a thing
Wasn't no pain, just the sound of the crack
Bones cracking beneath the tires
Would have killed anybody that hurted you
There ain't no god for dogs (x4)
