I've longed for you too long I know I'm in the wrong You're rooted in my brain Now you only bring me pain Why can I not move on? When will heartache be gone? Learn to forget Try to move on from the one Who will not love me Learn to forget Leave the tears, the heartache And all the pain you caused me Why hold to shattered dreams No longer in reach they seem? Why hold to fading hopes? No longer can we cope Why can I not move on? When will heartache be gone? Learn to forget Try to move on from the one Who will not love me Learn to forget Leave the tears, the heartache And all the pain you caused me But when you're near I lose all fear I'll be alone for all my years So just stay here, and Hold me close, and Stop my tears Be my dear But then you're gone And so I should just Learn to forget Try to move on from the one Who will not love me Learn to forget Leave the tears, the heartache And all the pain you caused me But when you're near I lose all fear I'll be alone for all my years So just stay here, and Hold me close, and Stop my tears Be my dear But then you're gone And so I should just Learn to forget Try to move on from the one Who will not love me Learn to forget Leave the tears, the heartache And all the pain you caused me

The sun stands high For weeks at a time The winds kick up My tongue is dry Just scraping by The thing I lack Can’t get no high Or else I die Day by day How long, how long? All I am Is on and on Hour on hour The rock erodes Am I chiseled to new Or crushed by the load?

She wants to be the best And keep the right and wrong She says she’ll get her own heaven By being moral and strong But the body is so weak The heart wants only to sin Her self-hung halo’s fading Her soul is caving in The eyes of God are watching Through her hands heaven’s slipping 'Cause she couldn’t wait Now magnets piercing in his brain Hanging lucid by a thread She triggered an exorcism Now ghosts are bruising his head Her mind is guilt-denying Though the sin her heart is staining ‘Cause she couldn’t wait She couldn't wait She couldn't wait She couldn't wait She couldn’t wait, she couldn’t stop Couldn’t leave the want ungot She couldn’t wait, she couldn’t stop Didn’t care the ill she wrought No, she couldn’t wait, she couldn’t stop Couldn’t leave the want ungot 'Cause she couldn’t wait, she couldn’t stop Didn’t care the ill she wrought And now the second small heart beat Is now her one companion And with no lover beside her A child is better than no one The eyes of God are watching Through her hands heaven’s slipping 'Cause she couldn’t wait No, she couldn't wait She couldn't wait She couldn't wait

Transparent 05:16
I look through the window, through the glass Watch the couples dancing their way past They give a perfect show Hold up their status quo Could they ever stop the show Long enough to know? The one who sees all Is invisible And the one who loves all Is unlovable When that feeling Comes down hard again Who is there at all To save him from the end? I look at the window, at that glass And see no face reflecting back Is the self-effacement true That I’m not seen, but seen through? Is the problem within me Or with the world and you? The one who sees all Is invisible And the one who loves all Is unlovable When that feeling Comes down hard again Who is there at all To save him from the end? From the end The one who sees all Is invisible And the one who loves all Is unlovable When that feeling Comes down hard again Who is there at all To save him from the end? (Yeah, yeah)

Detriment 05:08
Hoping against all hope That someday you could be mine Hoping against all hope That someday you could be mine Thoughts only of you Are always controlling my mind Thoughts only of you Are always controlling my mind I will wait for you At my own detriment My love for you Will have no end I want to reach out to you Tell you these things I feel I want to reach out to you Tell you these things I feel The more I desire The more you despise and retreat The more I desire The more you despise and retreat Oh, I will wait for you At my own detriment My love for you Will have no end You’re in my mind You’re in my heart You’re in my dreams You’re in my art And how this soul Is rent apart And from this place I’ll never start ‘cause You’re in my mind You’re in my heart You’re in my dreams You’re in my art And how this soul Is rent apart And from this place I’ll never start 'cause I will wait for you At my own detriment My love for you Will have no end No end No end No end

Undeserved 04:50
Oh, I remember your sleek body Stretching out in the sunshine You’d bring it back to me Sharing your warmth every time I don’t deserve you Or what you did for me No, I don’t deserve you I remember those days so long When summer felt like your love But autumn always follows The chilling of air and body come I don’t deserve you Or what you did for me No, I don’t deserve How you went cold, You went so cold. Oh, what happened That you went cold? Why stop sharing Your warmth so dear? Oh, what happened That you went cold? Why stop sharing Your warmth so dear? Don’t turn away and Strand me with no love Don’t leave me here so cold I don’t deserve What you’ve done to me No, I don’t deserve you Or what you did to me

I see sunrise In your eyes Like bright'ning skies Mesmerize Ne'er has gray Shone so gay Since the day You came my way Oh, to linger in your presence Oh, to bask in your warming glow I could stay there forever If only time would slow No denial Of that bright smile I think I'll Stay a while The allure Of one so pure And now I'm sure You are my cure Oh, to linger in your presence Oh, to bask in your warming glow I could stay there forever If only time would slow Good morning, beautiful The sun begins to shine The world may yet hold A ray of hope Good morning, beautiful The sky explodes With a color palette I may never see again Good morning, beautiful The sun begins to shine The world may yet hold A ray of hope Good morning, beautiful The sky explodes With a color palette I may never see again Good morning, beautiful The sun begins to shine The world may yet hold A ray of hope Good morning, beautiful The sky explodes With a color palette I may never see again Good morning Beautiful The sky turns red As the sun sets Dark and dread Fall on my head
