MY TIME HAS COME AND GONE
every day is a sunny day
for everyone but me
and all around I see happiness
and feel it pulled away from me
you're probably getting tired
of hearing me complain
I really wish I could stop
but the past still haunts me
on that day my perceptions changed
now none of this feels the same
I try real hard to anticipate
a future day that's half way sane
why must I fail?
with all these hopes...just another day

SUMMER TIME
don't you ever feel
like you're running out of time
and the petals turned to dust
dried up in the moon shine
don't you feel
don't you ever feel
like you want to turn back
dandelion fields shine
my memory fades to black
don't you ever
don't you ever feel
when the sun shines on your smile
skies are reaching through your skin
back to ocean dreams and summer child
don't you feel

THE TIME HAS GONE
mother, mother, mother
where has all the time gone?
the time has gone!

IRIS
light...slide...rise...shine...
you and me fall down again
you and me fall down, down
smile...climb...fly...stop...
night...cry...breathe...sky...

THE TIME PASSES QUICKLY
moving swiftly day to day
the time passes quickly
yesterday...
seems so close yet far away
I just don't know what to say
the words stagger in me
my thoughts stray
I can't remember
through the crowd I find my way
I move quick, desperately
to the stage
to the place of my decay
fingers aching as I play
the notes fight against me
I delay
I can't remember
and every hope is...
buried, wasted
beneath these tired eyes
and all these hopes are...
buried, wasted
and I just wonder why

NOT HERE, NOT ANYWHERE
this place is just nothing
it's just like every place
it feels like nothing
I don't fit in
so on to another place
it's just like the last place
I just feel nothing
I can't fit in
not here, not anywhere
....on to a new place
this day is just nothing
it's just like every day
it feels like nothing
I don't fit in
so on to another day
it's just like the last day
I just feel nothing
I can't fit in
not here, not anywhere
....in to a new day
one, two, three, four...

PERSEPHONE
sugar sweet, pressing lips to taste defeat
something divine, something divine
fingers reaching through the air
twisting tongues and pulling hair
cross the line, crushing the line
catching the corpse before she falls
watching her crack apart the china doll
shatter the time, shatter the time
bleeding through her milky skin
flesh is torn and stretched from sin
enemy mine, enemy mine
smelling the sickness, swelling the veins
blacken the sun and blacking the days
climbing the sky, climbing the sky
you think I'm weak

HOPE IS HERE
outside it's so cold and grey (ha, ha)
nothing but the wind and rain (ha, ha)
but through this haze I hear her cry (ha, ha)
she's coming back to be with me ...tonight
hope is here, she's close, she's near
hope is here, she's close, she's near ...and she's embracing me
she's here, she's close, she's near
hope is here, she's close, she's near ...and she's embracing me
quietly she stares at me (ha, ha)
she calls me over to her side (ha, ha)
softly she caresses me (ha, ha)
I sit there like a timid child ...and smile
she will never ever leave ...never

BLOODY BASIN
skin peel like pink ribbon to the floor
catching the falling sun, pressing it to her smile
watch and beware of all she said and did
time waits for no one, especially when you're dead
cross the sea and walk with me
cross the stars and sigh with me
cross the lies and awaken with me
cross the time and fly with me
glimpsing the pretty girl dancing in front of me
naked in her eyes for all the world to see
taking the razor tongue, trimming the paper doll
glass feels like nothing when you're completely numb
look inside her eyes, a well of hopelessness
cascading dreams obliterate this night
pick up the slivered mirror, carving another face
staring back at someone else, she's left without a trace
la, la, la...
tired and afraid of the mess she's made
cutting perfects emptiness when you're caressing a blade

THIS IS THE END
I remember... going down on the backslide
I remember... back room down
I remember... from the top of the mountain
let's pretend I'm dead ...she said
I feel nothing
...one more time
I remember... just one more day
I remember... the parting of those pretty lips
I remember... just everything
let's pretend I'm dead ...she said
this is the end
