Echo Park

Walkin' with you down through echo park
The ghosts fillin' the trees
The fire never understands the spark
The way it is with you and me

Freedom
Freedom
Our love won't fade away
Freedom
Freedom
Our love it won't fade away

The children runnin' through the greenest field
The light of love pourin' down
And only you and I know how it feels
When no one else is around

Freedom
Freedom
Our love won't fade away
Freedom
Freedom
Our love it won't fade away

Freedom
Freedom
Our love won't fade away
Freedom
Freedom
Our love it won't fade away

Walkin' with you down from echo park
The ghosts fillin' the trees
The fire never understands the spark
The way it is with you and me

Even Tho

I'm getting cold
You used to have a heart
Now I guess its just a stone
You said leave me alone
But even tho I'm here
You know that I'm already gone

Gone, baby
Even tho I'm here you know that I'm already gone
Gone, baby
Even tho I'm here you know that I'm already gone

We've got some time
So lets walk hand in hand together
And hold our heads up high
Since I can't read your mind
You've got to tell me what you're thinking
I won't write in the sky
I won't write in the sky

We're getting old
We've planted our seeds and now we wait for them to grow
You said I'll never show
You how I really feel or which way I'm gonna go

Gone, baby
Even tho I'm here you know that I'm already gone
Gone, baby
Even tho I'm here you know that I'm already gone

We've got some time
So lets walk hand in hand together
And hold our heads up high
Since I can't read your mind
You've got to tell me what you're thinking
I won't write in the sky
I won't write in the sky

No one to hold
The world will make a dream
And a prayer out of our bones
To find where we belong
Our shadows will remain
Even after we are gone

Gone, baby
Even tho I'm here you know that I'm already gone
Gone, baby
Even tho I'm here you know that I'm already gone

Puppets

Give less than I take
Dream you up as anything
I have no memory
Every moment, eternally

I wanna try
To get away from everybody else
To get away from everybody else

I cut myself
But no blood came
And no one helped
Strings that we can't see
Puppet you
And puppet me

I wanna try
To get away from everybody else
To get away from everybody else

And you don't know
What its like to try
To change where you go
And break the lie
And you never show
What its like inside
To raise your (nose?)
And break your pride

Hearts crack like canes
As children break the spider's legs
Strays out in our yards
Of buried bones and boulevards

I wanna try
To get away from everybody else
To get away from everybody else

Wasted

If you're not sorry for who you are
Why are you sorry for where you been?
I know you carry a secret star
The one you got from your invisible friend

I met you walking in the new york night
I said, "why are you walking so slow?"
You said, "I'm looking for a book I can write
And after that I got no place to go."

Wasted, I need to find a place to cry
Wasted, I need to find a place to cry

We stayed connected underneath the storm
You told me all the places you come from
I had a feeling I was being born
Inside your world where my heart could never be more

Wasted, I need to find a place to cry
Wasted, you need to find a place to cry
Wasted, I need to find a reason why
Wasted, I need to find a place to cry

If you're not sorry for who you are
Why are you sorry for where you been?
I know you carry a secret star
The one you got from your invisible friend

Wasted, I need to find a place to cry
Wasted, I need to find a place to cry

Failed

Now you're gone, and I don't know why
You removed yourself in the blink of an eye
When the seasons change, all you can do is cry
Now you're gone, and I don't know why

Maybe I failed, maybe I failed

[Whats it like where you are?]
The way you were I loved you
[Whats it like to fall that far?]
The way you were

I Am

You live in a darkness
Made out of your fear
Looking to the future
Never are you here

You are not a person
Nor are you what you see
Beyond this world you live in
Beyond your memory

To find out what you really are
You must wake up from this long night
Repeat the words I am
Repeat the words I am
Repeat the words I am
Repeat the words I am

Your world is in danger
But your world isn't real
You see what is imagined
Dreaming what you feel

To find out what you really are
You must wake up from this long night
Repeat the words I am
Repeat the words I am
Repeat the words I am
Repeat the words I am
Repeat the words I am
Repeat the words I am
Repeat the words I am
Repeat the words I am
I am, I am, I am
You are beyond the stone in the stars
You are the ever present light
Repeat the words I am
Repeat the words I am
Repeat the words I am
Repeat the words I am
Repeat the words I am
Repeat the words I am
Repeat the words I am
Repeat the words I am
I am, I am, I am

A Smile That Explodes

Too young to fall
For a light I think I see
Can't say for sure
The plants have died
My hair has grown
From the thought of you
Coming home

Cuz it ain't easier
Waking up at dawn
To find I lost my crown
If I found you there
With flowers in your hair

I'd hold you in my arms
Till we came back down
A smile that explodes
I could never understand

My room too small
To get by without the help of alcohol
Pin my arm to the wall
Now I'm too gone to fight
Not afraid to fall

Cuz it ain't easier
Waking up at dawn
To find I lost my crown
If I found you there
With flowers in your hair

I' d hold you in my arms
Until we came back down
A smile that explodes
I could never understand

I write one more
Letter I won't send
Except for across the floor

Leave Us Alone

He was cut and then there was no fear
The dogs of hell within unborn
And like a ghost without an atmosphere
His voice sang without a song

Singing to the ships as the foghorns blow
Shipping light where darkness hides
The night was blind but it did see him go
For in this dark his light survives

Go away
Leave us alone
We don't know yet
Who you are
So far
From home

He stands before them as they judge his life
His shadow reaching underneath
He will fight he will reveal his knife
They will question his belief

They will shatter all his teeth
Blood from his mouth in darkness he can see
His suicide his love reborn
And hangin from a noose in secrecy
His mind and spirit will divorce

Go away
Leave us alone
We don't know yet
Who you are
So far
From home

Too Much To Hide

The needle says she'll tell you when she's through
No sense now in trying to believe in you

Too much to hide
In your own two eyes
Too much to hide
In your own world

There's some you know you follow into doom
By yourself and in an empty room

Too much to hide
In your own two eyes
Too much to hide
In your own world

Dream you're gone
Dream you're gone, so far gone
(So far, oh)
Dream you're gone
Dream you're gone, so far gone
(So far, oh)
Dream you're gone
Dream you're gone, so far gone
(So far away)
Dream you're gone
Dream you're gone, so far gone
(So far away)

I'm down here and walking with you still
And part of me I guess always will

Too much to hide
In your own two eyes
Too much to hide
In your own world

Be here now

Black Lexus

Your black Lexus has
Two hundred thousand miles
Underneath the missing roads

You don't know where you're going
Almost anytime
Things lost just lighten up your load

Maybe you're headin' out
To LA
See if they'll put you in a show

First you'll check with the stars
Read both your sign and mine
In the back of the New York Post

You can't find her
You can't find her
In the mirror everything's reversed
And you can't find her
You can't find her
Everyday you feel a little curse

Now your car's been towed
You misread the sign
Something left to do
Must have slipped your mind

Got no money left
Guess you'll stick around
And anyway the stars
Said not to go right now

But you can't find her
You can't find her
In the mirror everything's reversed
And you can't find her
You can't find her
Everyday you look a little worse

You can't find her
You can't find her
In the mirror everything's reversed
You can't find her
You can't find her
Everyday you feel a little curse

You can't find her
You can't find her
In the mirror everything's reversed
You can't find her
You can't find her
Everyday you feel a little curse
