This Skin And View

Well I held you up against the light
In the dark corners of my mind
The room never looked so bright, with you in view
And if I could just hold your hand
It would be enough for me my friend
I wanna be there till the end of this skin and view
You are an extension of every woman
Every woman I've ever dreamt of
I know it's true just because, I can feel it in my bones
And I'm going to marry you
I never though I'd say I do
And wouldn't for anyone but you
Baby it's the truth
Baby it's the truth
We've carried these weights now for years and years
Down we woke up to the sound of jeers
And Angels singing through the evening years
Of a love that's true, of a love that's true
Just say I do it's me and you

Well past the hissing cars, past where the ocean meets the sand
On our wooden legs were we struggle to dance
In the harbor there are no ships
Just sinking Captains
The ocean sea a swamp, the muse hushes back
Before you go thru by now our hero's on the attack
And it's time to side to slide across crossed
Eyes heavens at the door
And hell is a city on the wrong side of town
And heaven is a gate that you can't get around
And all my hopes and dreams are tarnished with doubt
But watching you breathe, and struggle to breathe
As I cum into you
Step right up step right up and purchase your poison
Exchanged for unwitting and fleeting voices
Purchase cold exchanged for the hissing and the growling false joy
And the illusions of warmth and the laughter dims down
And the illusions of wealth and fame are around
When asked to pick flowers the boys say we'll buy Roses instead
But watching you breathe, and struggle to breathe
As I cum into you
I know now how beautiful eternity is cause
Because I have been there yeah I got a glimpse
It was fleeting grace cheap grace but
It was grace just the same
And when Jesus came you know times were strange
He said gather up your love and throw down all your hate even
your enemies deserve the other cheek
And ever since then things have been different
I can't put my finger on it there's just something missing
And no one really know's the truth about God
But watching you breathe, and struggle to breathe
As I cum into you

Never Say Never

There's only so many things I can say
Can only say them in so many ways
I spend my nights just a, counting the days
Till I can be with you
And even though all my words are true
Something tell's me that they'll never reach you
Cause I can see that you don't want to be reached
At least not today
I fill my days and my lungs up with smoke
And I have a drink for every toke
Cause sometimes I feel that life, is just a joke
Though I can hardly smile
I force them out everyday, or two
And it always seems they come from thoughts of you
And God I know that I'm, always gonna be blue
Till I can love myself, till I can love myself
There's only so many things I can say
Can only say them in so many ways
I spend my nights just a, counting the days
Till I can be with you
And even though all my words are true
Something tell's me that they'll never reach you
Cause I can see that you don't want to be reached
At least not today, At least not today
Sorry I held you so tight, last night
But the only time that I feel right
Is when I know that you're at least in sight
And I can see you move
Do I only love you in my dreams, at night
And would it die, at first daylight
After the first time you spend the night
And you woke surprised to see
to see that it was me
I know that you'll never hear, this song
But I'm hoping somehow it will bang a gong
Get sent to you just like a river song
On waves of love in the air, on waves of love in the air
There's only so many things I can say
Can only say them in so many ways
I spend my nights just a, counting the days
Till I can be with you
And even though all my words are true
Something tell's me that they'll never reach you
Cause I can see that you don't want to be reached
At least not today, At least not today

Something, is coming tonight
You can see it in my eyes
The light
Something, is coming tonight
You can see it in my eyes
One, two don't you know that the blues
Is coming thru the roof
Gotta play it cool gotta play it cool
Something, is coming tonight
You can see it in my eyes
The light
Something, is coming tonight
You can see it in my eyes
One, two don't you know that the blues
Is coming thru the roof
Gotta play it cool gotta play it cool

Sometimes I get the feeling, that we're all just ghosts
Yeah sometimes I get the feeling, that we're all just ghosts
We are as empty as Eden, we are solid as smoke
Well baby we can be compressed, into one
You know baby we can be compressed, into one
Meanwhile We're as cautious as rabbits
In the Suburb where the Devil grew up
Well everyday I fall in love, with silhouettes
Everyday I fall in love, with silhouettes
You know I'd never approach them
I just let them dance with the shadows in my head
Well Mother may I be happy now
Will God let me off the hook
And will the Devil stop pulling at my heartstrings
Every time I fall asleep, and every time I wake up

Don't you, wan to lose with me too?

Well everybody knows there's nothing left to say
Today has gone away tomorrows not a day away
Tomorrows right now ok lets go today
Everybody knows that at the end of days
You gotta play it straight
You gotta play it straight
Everybody knows, that they're all alone
Everybody knows that they roll with their eyes closed
Well everybody knows there's nothing left to say
Today has gone away tomorrows not a day away
Tomorrows right now ok lets go today
Everybody knows that at the end of days
You gotta play it straight
You gotta play it straight
Everybody knows, that they're all alone
Everybody knows that they roll with their eyes closed

Once you see me you'll see me for once
Her eye's said as she stared at me from behind the sun
There is no glamour to it, there is no pattern to it
There is no avenue, no gravity, no gratitude for you
Interlude, it's true
Just because you got your doubts you don't know what to do
Just because you got your doubts you don't know what to do
I promise gratitude I promise to be true
I promise everything and everyone to boot
I promise you that I will love you
There in the center of everything undone
Her eye's said as she stared at me from behind the sun
There is no glamour to it, there is no pattern to it
There is no avenue, no gravity, no gratitude for you
Interlude, it's true
Just because you got your doubts you don't know what to do
Just because you got your doubts you don't know what to do
I promise gratitude I promise to be true
I promise everything and everyone to boot
I promise you that I will love you
