11. Sleeper

O my your fever's high
I lay my hands upon you
O my haven't you heard
The truth is untrue

Now I'm breathing
I could not breath until you did
I'm one second after you
Just a second after you

Someone inside your room
Who is it there behind you
What does he want from you

Sleeper what did you see
I close the window to the street
Paren't died and left their child
Unattented for a while

Sleeper's song will you listen to me sing
The bird is here I can see the edge of his wing
If you die now how can I then live on
Don't give up you must live on

12. Sulfur

I'm drawing back time
To feel things once again
As when I had found them

I saw you grow older
Saw myself grow older too
But not as much as you
If I only knew

I had sulfur in my heart
But not enough strenght to give it a spark
I didn't know when to start
When we were bright or when we were dark
I had a wind in my chest
Blew as hard as it ever could
I could have written books for you
If I only knew

I held my head down I know
And you walked around in circles
I'm sure you already knew
If I only knew it too

So much I want to ask you
You have no time to let me do so
There is no light in my pathway
You must tell me where to go

13. No Devotion

I've turned down all devotion
I'm so far from being here
Can't bring forth more power
Than I have already done

Tonight I'm trying
And I see all dread in me

But then I lose again
All hope of being someone
This lack of devotion
Will put me to an end

So if you want to save me
And stop me when I run
Just tell me that I'll have now
A day less to live when I'm done

14. Chrome

The walls are painted
Different every second
My eyes are of chrome
It is television

Can't let go of my leg
It's itching and bleeding
Layer by layer
I'm peeling away

Burn down my house
And make something happen
Stab me in the heart

And make something stop
'cause I am so distracted
I am slightly shocked
By how things can keep going
Like a dead man's clock

A mirror is hanging
Kinda loose on my wall
I'm passing it sideways
I'm saying hello

My brother is halfways
Through a book I've left him
Called me today
To see what I'd say

15. A Premonition

Stand aside now no one will survice can't tell you how I know
In some time I will change my name and lay low
In the light you can see me walk down by the way
The one who did this to us well he got away

Keep it quiet here I will not tolerate your noise
This is where I listen for the forgiving voice

It haunts my dreams

16. Dispossession

It is to see a traitor go free
It is to feel a filter in me
It is to leave the lights that I saw
It is to ask: is it easy to go?

In this dead hour
Here with you
Seconds are worthless
In this dead hour
When all is blank
Minutes are worthless

How long will it take until
There will be room enough for hope
It is so sad to see
Dispossession
It has become my obsession

It is to have a knife in my back
It is to say my soul got a crack

17. Cold Ways

I can't do what you do
I'm just able to tear it down yeah
Stay in a cold minute of sleep
See the world
Right through the ether

Twisting names inside of me
Electric atmosphere to be
Must carry on one last time
Cannot end what has begun

In your eyes
You're alive
But in my eyes
You're a lie

You can't do what I do
I'm just able to ruin you yeah
Stay in the cold ways of winter
See myself right through the ether

In my eyes
You're the lie

18. Nightmares By The Sea

[By Jeff Buckley]

Beware the bottled thoughts of angry young men
Secret compartments hide all of the skeletons
Little girl wants to make her home with him
In the middle of the shore she wonders

"Don't know what you asked for"
"Don't know what you asked for"

All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye
Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know damn well were you'll go

I've loved so many times and I've drowned them all
From their coral graves they rise up when darkness falls
With their bones they'll scratch the window
I hear them call

"Don't know what you asked for"
"Don't know what you asked for"

Stay with me under these waves tonight
Be free for once in your life tonight

19. Oh How I Enjoy The Light


[Written by Will Oldham]

It's us I liken to a covey
A polar bear has breached a pup
The palace walls are
Strewn with tapestries
And the window panes are
Splintered and shattered
With a crumbled dog
On every landing
And every stranger cowers
The dress is torn,
The tone demanding
The canine's latent strength

And would her loins
Would yield a yelp
A beating purr to steal the
Time with
Here's where we walk,
Hand in hand
O how I despise it
O how I enjoy the light
Of the first morning forever
Wisdom, wealth tag
On like afterbirth
I will love you forever

And if I don't
And if I do
The difference exists in a
Fiction
The day has cooled,
The time will too
And we will call upon the light

20. Evidence

I hold my breath and check the time
One minute no collapse
If you only knew what I would do for you
One thirty breathing lapse
We're going in my voice is thin
When I tell you to remember
That no one will find you
My promise from the heart
If we part my pulse will guide you through

Be still for a moment
Everything depends upon you
If you die I will die too
Once we were heroes
But everything has changed since then
Now they recognize you too

I stay too long something's wrong
You walk out of the picture
I hold my breath and check the time
One thirty I collapse
We went in my voice was thin
When I told you to remember

I'm the evidence
You passed the test and that's so good for you
O love will you read the letters I will send to you
Will I come along
Will they let me out to take the test
O love is the score enough for me to pass the test
