All Alone
01:18

All alone...
All alone...
Search all around. There's no one there.
You're all alone anyway. Turn around to see if anyone is still there...
Not a friend...
Not a friend...
He wants a friend. Wants just one friend.
No one anywhere in sight. What could be changed?
They never told him what was wrong.

God is the Rose
04:23
|
|||
|
Like a rose, I appear beautiful to your eyes.
Like a rose, it's safer to admire from a distance.
You never knew the truth.
It doesn't take much effort
to play the part you've always played,
but deep beneath the crimson
lies the thorn. It is my life,
and God is the rose,
and I am the thorn.
I draw the blood.
All of us, actors
All our lives a flame upon a candle
We burn and then we fade and die
and still the rose is blooming,
covering me and all my shame.
God is the rose
and I am the thorn.
I draw the blood.
God is the rose (3x)

Take Care
05:35
|
|||
|
You can't go with me.
You can't follow where I lead.
It's not fair, I know...
I can't take care of you. (2x)
It's not fair. I know it's not fair.
I wouldn't say that things are gonna' be okay.
I wouldn't dare.
And I have none to give, but
Take care (8x)
It's not fair. (8x)
I'm scared... so scared...
I may not have anything to give.
It's not fair, and it doesn't mean much, but
Take care (6x)

Alaska
03:42
|
|||
|
Alaska's looking good to me
Snowy mountains and winter trees,
oh I could breath that air and I'd be free, I'd be
alive. I'd be alive... alive
ooh...
I could stay here with you, living
forever in this mess
and you would hope that I'd recover this time
and I would
lie
again...
ooh...
Alaska's looking good to me
Snowy mountains and winter trees
It must be warmer, must be warmer
than this place
'cause I'm freezing
here.

Stuntman
04:17
|
|||
|
He fell from nineteen stories,
walked away without a scratch,
and he would say, "Oh, how boring..."
Doesn't compare, doesn't even match
yesterday, yesterday,
when he was dodging bullets left and right
and running through the flames,
reaching the threshold of pain.
He's a stuntman,
doesn't really need your hand. (2x)
He's a stuntman.
He just want to get as close to death as he can.
And he can.
He parades his wounds around the room,
tells her every story, every bruise.
She would tell her stories too,
but who would listen?
The walls? The broom?
She says, she says,
"I don't feel like cleaning up today
these messes that you've made.
I just need you to stay awake."
He's a stuntman,
doesn't really need your hand. (2x)
He's a stuntman. He just wants to get as close to death as he can.
And he can.
He can.

Trees
02:55
|
|||
|
I kissed a man
who tasted like cheap peanut butter crackers.
It made me sick so I ran
faster than the rats and past the tractor
in the garden where I sleep.
Right across the street
the Red Sox fans drank and drank and all got plastered.
Faster, faster than I could plan my own disaster
in the garden of disease
where I keep my heart
tied round
these trees (6x)
aah...

Wasted
02:58
|
|||
|
Yes, I am here.
I am present,
but I don't belong. I don't seem to fit in.
I can't sing along with the other boys and girls.
Is this my gift?
Is this my talent?
I'd give it up. I'd trade it in.
Yes, I can tell you the answer,
but I think it's best if you find it for yourself.
Than you'd be so much happier like me.
It would be your gift.
It would be your talent.
You'd give it up. You'd trade it in
for something better
than your scarlet letter.
Oh, if you had my life
and I had yours
we'd give them up.
We'd trade them in,
wasting our gifts,
wasting our talents...
wasted...
wasted...

A Pot of Earth
02:50
|
|||
|
green plant
on shipboard changing
with changing stars plying
from port to port
you taste
every horizon
the propeller makes you tremble
from root to branch
to utmost tendril
and my hand drawing you
trembles
at being out to sea
but I discover
the earth set in your square pot
is the same earth I looked for
at the far end
of my telescope.

All Is Well
06:11
|
|||
|
I've always been afraid
of the sound of my own voice.
It's always been easier
to fade into the noise.
Ever since I was a boy
the love I had for other boys
was beaten down without a word,
piece by piece destroyed.
Oh, how can I tell you
what it's done to me?
I've spent my whole life
just trying to get free.
I'll never take to the sky
perched on a wire.
I'll never set your heart alight
without walking through the fire.
And I've been spending most of my days
gettin' high
And I've been livin' all my life
on the sidelines.
Even though the shame has worn me down
down to the bone
I've still got a lot of love to give
and I know I'm not alone.
And my beating heart is a diving bell
that anchors in the sea floor
everry time I look into your eyes
and they're gently repeating
softly repeating
all is well
all is well
and all will be well
I buried my desire
just like I was told.
My mask was born of fire
and slowly, surely it took hold.
Oh, how can I tell you
what it's done to me?
I've spent my whole life
just trying to get free.
CHORUS
