Let's face reality All this drifts gently Into the blue blue sea You seem so closed to me Not like it used to be Always I'll find the need To fall to the blue blue sea Well I don't know what it's like Inside your memory I can't control your kind Inside my fantasy I know it's all in me All me eternally Selfish blasphemy Back my way, fall in stray Straight to the blue blue sea Devils in Angel wings Pretty and evil things Lay me down gently Drown me so gently

I lost you once And I can't lose you again When the night has turned And Summer's at its end I learned to love you My dearest friend But it's been a while Since you've come 'round my bend Honey I've lost you Come on back home The roosters are crowing And the dogs are alone They cry for you nightly But not by the day The girls are too feisty To come home and play The sequins they sparkle But not like the gems The sirens they sing But there's death by their hymns The stars are all out But polaris still rests Guide by the maps you've Tattooed on your chest Lullaby, lull me to sleep Kiss me goodnight I will lay out at your feet Lullaby, lull me to sleep I'm sorry that you're in the deep

When you woke I smelled smoke When those eyes Found the darkness In which my heart lies When you woke When we fell Inside our own Sacred hell The devil did run Inside our lungs When we fell When you smiled It often felt worth while But how many times Can we live to defile? When you smiled
4.
I woke up with you in my chest Shivering sweet sickness It's been so long since you've come along But tonight is the night that you tell me my wrongs Midnight might be that I rest This song goes to sleep and I'll lose arrest I've never hoped so much I was wrong But it's often the case that I must say "So Long" Don't go to sleep my dear Play that song in my ear Pray that your papa doesn't hear All hail the pauper and the pier
5.
Let me be your Marlboro Burn me 'til I burn down low Let my poison fill your holes And kill you quietly and slow I can be your rum and coke Sip me slow 'til you go broke Let my numbness seep and soak And linger on your tongue and throat I was waiting while you wake In the cold of morning break Love, no longer loving late Pray for you my soul to take

Coo 03:46
What virtue did I give you? This name that we both share Did it hurt you blind, love When I said I cared? I'm sorry that you're lonely I am lonely too I'm sorry I can't help you I know, so are you. Well what rose did I give you? The white one or the red? How big were the thorns, love When they'd lay in my bed? If we're both so said and lonely What then do we do? Smile when you see me And kiss me when you coo.

Oh I was the son of Obed I lived in Bethlehem You were the wife of Adam Born from within him The tree of my descendants Boasts a heavy claim The tree of your descent Was branded sin and blame I presented all the seven I thought would fit into The mould of the Gilded The chair of the few The youngest who attended My flock while I stepped 'way Was fittest for the burden To carry on my name And darling you were Daniel I was the Lion's Den Volatile with anger But your prayer would keep it in The longer I refused you The more that I would feed For later on the king would Be swallowed whole by me But baby I was Noah You were my great ship Gathering the planet For a mighty good trip And sadly we just couldn't Gather every pair And though we'd be remembered We'd live our lives despaired So I follow you to eden It was better than the plains And we'd hide amongst the treetops For seven more days

Atlas 05:19
Cape Cod is kind of far from where I left you Is Minnesota treating you right? I didn't know New England gets this cold out Though it's summer guess it's also night It's storming here tomorrow did I tell ya? The winds are coming in from Canada You told me it was hailing by the rail yards Wish I could hold off the coming flood This sunset ain't as good As that one that time we stood On the bleachers facing west holding hands Once upon a time, thought I was stronger Than your average man Did I tell you that I lost a little eye sight? Doctor says I'm 20/21 Pretty much as good as last I saw ya But I think that I'll get rid of all my guns I've gained fifteen pounds since Monday Honestly I think my balance off An't got so much to say, but I'm trying anyway I need your voice there's nothing quite as soft Now this big ass bug is fighting with my window And I'm honestly not sure who's gonna win But I wish that you were here to whisper in my ear And the go on and turn ourselves in This sunset ain't as good As that one that time we stood On the bleachers facing west holding hands Winds up now I see I'm really simply A stubborn boy set to a cock sure plan
