I made this for you, it’s not mine anymore
Cross my name off the card and open the box
And tell me what you think is inside
Cuz I made this for you, it’s not for me.
I made her for you, I can’t give her my name
You can dye her hair blonde and buy her new clothes
The clothes she has are full of holes
So please give her a name, and give her a home.
I made her for you, I can’t say that she’s fair
She’s got scars on her back, her face has one eye
You see a vision I deny
Put a crown on her head and give her a prize.
I made this for you, I don’t know what I made
I built all the parts, I can’t tell you how
Please take these parts, please take them now
And please give them a name, she won’t be afraid.

Take my head in your hand and whisper tricks.
You make me sick, you make me slick
You make me crash on the floor
Scorched the wooden boards.
Find the believer in me
Find the believer in me
Can’t you see that I’ve been touched.
I’m touched
Light and colour
Rush to me.
Thick in the head and even with these clouded thoughts
I see your point.
I get it.
Now I have convictions
Now I have conniption
When I think on you
When I think on you.
Make a believer out of me
Make a believer out of me
Can’t you see that I’ve been touched.
I’m touched
Light and colour
Rush out of my body.
I’m touched
Light and colour
Rush to me.
I will follow you forever and you will follow me on
I will follow you forever and you will follow me on
I will follow you forever
Follow me on.

Look Into You
03:48
|
|||
You can say the words, rehearse them loud
Make a case for your name, for your grace on fire.
Sounds from your mouth information chokes the air.
Don’t make a sound if you want me.
I’ll look into you, look into you
Look until you look away
Hook into you, hook into you
Hook until you find the muscle.
Look into you
Look into you
Look into you, look into you
Look until you look away
Hook into you, hook into you
Hook until you find the muscle.
Look into you
Look into you
Look into you, look into you
Look until you look away
Hook into you, hook into you
Hook until you find the vessel
Look into you
Look at me
Look into me, look into me
Look until you see a way.
Look into me, look into me
Look until you find my heartbeat
Look into me, look away.
You can take the words,
Reverse them wreck all the lines, kill the time
Let the sound dissolve.
Don’t make a sound if you want to look in me.
Look into me to find the words.

What It Is
04:06
|
|||
I don’t know what happens in the dark.
I’ll feel about the floor to find a start.
All the dust and skin
All sharps and softs
Crack a sound and maybe I’ll begin
To be.
What is it, I feel it as what it is,
I feel it now.
What it is, I see you now.
You are what it is
What is it you want in me.
What is it, I see you as what it is,
I see you now.
What it is, I hear you now.
You are what it is
What is it that shows in
Shows out
Shows in me.
I don’t know what happens in the deep.
Maybe I can find it in my sleep.
And dream of what it is to me.

The wretched desert takes its form
The jackal proud and tight
In search of you I feel my way
Through slowest heaving night
Whatever fear invents
I swear it make no sense
I reach out through the border fence
Come down, come talk to me
In the swirling curling storm of desire
Unuttered words hold fast
With reptile tongue, the lightning lashes
Towers built to last
Darkness creeps in like a thief
And offers no relief
Why are you shaking like a leaf?
Come on, come talk to me.
Won't you please come talk to me?
Just like it used to be
Come on, come talk to me
I did not come to steal
This is all so unreal
Can you show me how you feel now?
Come on come talk to me
Come talk to me
Come talk to me.
The earthly power sucks shadowed milk
From sleepy tears undone
From nippled skin as smooth as silk
The bugles blow as one
You lie there with your eyes half closed
Like there's no-one there at all
There's a tension pulling on your face
Come on, come talk to me.
I can imagine the moment
Breaking out through the silence
All the things that we both might say
And the heart, it will not be denied
'Til we're both on the same damn side
All the barriers blown away.
Won't you please come talk to me?
Just like it used to be
Come on, come talk to me
I did not come to steal
This all is so unreal
Can you show me how you feel now?
Now come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me
Come talk to me.

Show Me Where To Go
04:02
|
|||
Hold my hand and apply some pressure
Don’t let go till my body turns blue
I keep going to the same old places
Let me wear your smile for awhile.
Cuz you are what I want
And you are what I got
Wanna dance to the songs that I don’t know
I know, I know that you’ll show me where to go,
I know, I know.
Wanna dance to the songs that I don’t know
I know, I know that you’ll show me where to go,
I know, wanna dance to the songs that I don’t know
I know, I know that you’ll show me where to go,
I know, I know.

George

You are complete George
You are your own
We do not belong together.
You are complete George
You all alone
I am unfinished
I am diminished
With or without you.
We do not belong together
And we should have belonged together
What made it so right together
Is what made it all wrong.
No one is you George
There we agree
But others will do George.
No one is you and no one can be
But no one is me George
No one is me
We do not belong together
And we'll never belong
You have a mission
A mission to see
Now I have one too George.
And we should have belonged together
I have to move on

Ire
04:28
|
|||
I know you well, I know your wayward magic
I know when you touch me a pulse will travel through,
My body is eager to burn up all its insides
I’m not ready to burn you, so you will have to burn me.
Throw sand in my face and make me tear and burn
And turn my eyes to ash so I can learn
Learn to see
The ire and guile
The ire and guile.
I know when you touch me a pulse will travel through,
My body’s not ready, so you will have throw…
Sand in my face and make me tear and burn
And turn my eyes to ash so I can throw
Sand in my face and make me tear and burn
And turn my eyes to ash so I can learn
Learn to see
The ire and guile
The ire and guile.

Love Song
05:54

I run a while everyday
I sweat and breathe and gasp and cough
I run a mile everyday
So I can show you that I’m fast and strong
And tomorrow I’ll run twice as long.
I’ll run a mile everyday
To show you that I’m brave enough
To give up all my miles for you.
I’ll give it up all my miles some day.
I’m brave enough to take a thousand pictures of my face
Of kith and kin and moments, that I partially recall
I’ll hand you all my evidence, that shows my painted face
Furrowed dimpled lined and drawn
Screwed and pouted you can’t doubt I was brave enough
To hold a thousand faces.
I gave my heart a thousand times, I cut it from my chest
And held it blindly in the open air.
Friends and lovers took this knotted thing and made it theirs
Made it theirs to braid and better
Theirs to spoil and weather
I gave my heart a thousand times
To show you that I’m brave enough
To cut it out in front of you…
So I could hold the hands
And kiss the lips
Of someone who
Who isn’t you
You knew me when I thought nothing of you
And now I have a thousand things that brought me closer to you.
You’re all I dream about
You’re all I dream about
You’re all I dream about
I’ll tell my friends that I am strong, tomorrow I’ll run twice as long.
