hey
is that you
by the window
shining through
but wait
it's all you do
can't count on him no
to follow through
angel is falling down
she needs your help right now
i can't swim in the sound
that you all scream so loud
angel is freaking out
'cause her god's a fucking clown
my faith's been burning out
since i stopped looking down
hey
i think it's you
outside my window
breaking through
but wait
it's all so new
where did the wind go
and where did you
angels are falling down
can't get to sleep right now
'cause your heart's been crying out
without making a sound
angels are drowning out
your gods have put you down
i hope they lose their crown
and hit the fucking ground
hey
i know it's you
step back from the window
and hold onto

THIS IS GOING TO HURT

(summer...)
jack and
jill met
to make love
and make rent
and gave birth
to rosie
with freckles
and posies
when jack left
jill learned
that posies
weren't for her
left rosie
with ashes
and long black
eye lashes
no cat and
no fiddle
for rosie
so little
the crisscross
applesauce
is no fun
when you're lost
within
the system
and without
permission
to wish on
the bright sky
first star she sees
tonight...
maybe this won't hurt
so badly--baby i...
and maybe this won't hurt
you much more than it will hurt me
but babe it's in the hurt
where we find ourselves eventually
and maybe someday learn
that all seasons come to an end
(fall...)
the one two
and worn shoes
that don't quite
fit you
the three floors
and locked doors
did you think
there was more?
the five six
and don't miss
'cause these sticks
do fun tricks...
in nine ten
now breathe in
and welcome
to heaven
she's fifteen
or sixteen
and passed out
not eating
eighteen
ask seventeen
"why's this shit
not working?"
nineteen
and pretty
but her heart--
still empty
twenty
has gone by
and deaf ears
still hear her cry...
this is going to hurt
so badly that maybe i...
and this is going to hurt
you much more than it will hurt me
babe it's in the hurt
where we find ourselves eventually
and maybe someday learn
that seasons all come to an end
(winter...)
not bad
and on track
bet you won't
slip back
to those days
and that phase
in most ways
you're ok
and i know
that you don't
and you won't
let go
so i swear
to be there
that i'm going
nowhere
now are you
september
or rain in
november?
'cause last time
when i tried
you promised
that you'd fight
for me
and for you
and maybe...
for us too
but you're still
not listening
and your heart
keeps whispering...
this is going to hurt
so badly that maybe i...
and this is going to hurt
me much more than it will hurt you
but babe it's in the hurt
where we find ourselves eventually
and maybe someday learn
that all seasons come to an end
(spring...)
this is going to hurt
so badly that baby i...
this is going to hurt
so much more than when it did before
but babe it's in the love
where we find ourselves eventually
and maybe someday learn...
that all seasons fade but begin again

pretty girl with the heart and the soul who
wrote a line in his notes so he'd find you
it's alright
maybe baby just fine
everything is alright
baby take your time
i...
silly boy with the songs and the scars who
put the pen and the paper behind you
it's alright
maybe baby this time
everything is alright
baby take your time
i...
don't know the way out
but i know the way down
and it hit so hard
i can't find my way out
but i can file my wings down
and it's so far
pretty girl still writes by the window
about a kid and a house and a rainbow
it's alright
maybe baby just fine
everything is alright
baby take your time
i...
silly boy traded poems for the pills now
the line he crossed is the line that he hits now
i know
that you're right
to take me
tonight...
i don't know the way out
but i know the way down
and it hits so hard
i can't find my way out
but i can find my way down
and it's so far
...
pretty girl still says that she loves him
leaves the light on the porch in case it finds him
hopes to hell that her son will never give in
it's not right baby
it's not right
no.

NEVER END

if only you could
hold my hand
if only you could
understand
i guess that's the world
we live in
i guess that's the way
it's always been
if only we could
meet again...
and write a song that would
never end

PHOENIX RISE

i'll send my thoughts out through flight
these wings will go through
these things that hold you
i'll set fire to sky
these flames still know you
these flames once told you...
what's lost inside your eyes
a look i've memorized
you're falling back
but know that i will catch you
these things that hold you close
these things that hurt the most
these things that bring you hope (home)
cannot destroy you
i'll turn my back to the light (lie)
this fight will haunt you
this fight will want you
i'll watch as these worlds collide
and each new skyline
brings words to live by
what's lost inside your mind
is still right here in mine
you broke the mould but it
did not break you
the sky blown open wide
so long as you decide
the fire burns inside
but will not burn you
i'll set fire to sky
these flames still owe you
and these wings will hold you
