BARE HALLWAYS
Hear me
Save her memory
In the Hallway
Calling for me
I see the shadow
Of her past rising
Small hands shaking
It's cold and lonely
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
Making
Her bed each evening
Softly speaking
I put her to sleep
In the house that
I was born in
Watching crumble
Into bare hallways
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
BLUE-EYED DOLL
I saw your face in the news
Smiling eyes I keep it close
To know what we went through
Getting off the plane I saw the truth
And the grief comes in waves I can feel it
Breaking the same old blue eyed doll
Ripping the same old blue eyed doll
Shedding the same old blue eyed doll
Sharing the same old blue eyed doll
Tattered cloth and buttons of my fear
Funny what it takes to make an old scar disappear
Learning grace as hunger fades away
And I know that you’ve opened closed eyes now you see
Breaking the same old blue eyed doll
Ripping the same old blue eyed doll
Shedding the same old blue eyed doll
Sharing the same old blue eyed doll
Frightened like a child that sailed to a foreign shore
Don’t you worry what a wonder knocking at your door
Frightened like a child that sailed to a foreign shore
Don’t you worry what a wonder knocking at your door
You gave me the courage to care, and to show
I want to thank you for this blue eyed doll
Breaking the same old blue eyed doll
Ripping the same old blue eyed doll
Shedding the same old blue eyed doll
Sharing the same old blue eyed doll
ETERNAL HOST
In the barren hallway, you asked, “Is this gonna kill me?”
picking at your fingers for the pills that weren’t there
I was afraid that you would fall onto the ground
and split your head
You howl in your sleep, “would you like some tea”
“milk no sugar no I can’t recall for the life of me”
don’t worry tomorrow morning you won’t remember
and I will be your eternal host
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Exile from home eternal host
Can’t leave you alone eternal host
Bathe and feed each day eternal host
Dazzle you with shame eternal host
I can’t go on I must go on I’m rolling stones
Can’t move this alone
I can’t go on I must go on I’m rolling stones
I can’t leave them behind
Nothing left to give eternal host
Nothing left to give eternal host
Nothing left to give eternal host
Nothing left to give eternal host
Wake up
Feeding
Be there
Not there
Stand by
Start now
Get tired
Give up
Fighting
Lifting
Square back
Breathing
Empty
Moving
I’m walking around but I’ll never get out of this role
INORI
She’s sick on the bed sheets
They’re soaked all way through
I’ll wash it all
Wash it all away
Wash it all
Wash it all
I’m frightened she’s dying
But if I make the call
They’ll take it all
Take it all away
If I break they’ll just take it all away
Why can’t I hold this time in place
My mind might be weak
If at least I believed
There’s nothing I want more
Than to take pain away
I clasp my hands I clasp my hands
For you
And you’ll forget, you’ll forget me too
UTOPIA
Needle pulling thread
Needle pulling thread
Candle in my head
Breaking bones and bread
Do that thing that I adore
It’s so familiar
It’s so familiar
Heart of gold has wept
Heart of gold has wept
Being held and fed
Being held and fed
Thinking there has been no better time
It’s time
It’s time
It’s time
It’s time
It’s time
