Who I Say I Am

Wait
This is all such a mess
And I don’t want you to confess
Anything
Unideal
When the veins are better concealed
Stolen map
Rest assured
You won’t find what you’re looking for
Draw some lines
In the sand
‘Cause I’m not who I say I am
I am lost, I’m a liar
Selling truth as I work to conspire
For your heart
I will deceive
With every word that you want to believe
As a queen is a pawn
As a quest is a con
I’m not good, I’m not bad
But I’m not who I say I am
Wait
Out of line, unprepared
Wondering how you ended up here
You should learn
To forget
And unburn your last cigarette
Call it fear
Call it fey
Knowing now it’s better this way
Broken keys
Rest assured
You won’t find who opens the door
You can search every crack in the mirror
And wonder how I could be so insincere
But I hope that you’ll understand
That I’m not who I say I am
I am lost, I’m a liar
Selling truth as I work to conspire
For your heart
I will deceive
With every last word that you want to believe
As a vice, as a sin,
As a light to be dimmed
Playing shadows that dance on the wall
But if you look close you’ll see nothing at all
So you really shouldn’t take my hand
Because I am not who I say I am
All I wanted was love
But I can’t make the cells open up
Something’s wrong inside my brain
Faking the feelings that I can’t sustain
You can pull back the skin
But I promise I won’t let you in
I am lost, I’m a child
Selling youth as I work to connive
And your heart
I will betray
With every last word that you’ll beg me to say
Every queen is a pawn
Every conquest a con
I’m not good, I’m not bad
But I am not who I say I am

A Part Of Me
04:57

(Relax…)
I need some distraction here
From the sun (So long…)
I’m never returning here
And all of the love you saw (You saw…)
And treated so cavalier
And all of the wherewithal (…withal…)
And all we had persevered
Fills this hole (this hole…)
I need to reverse the light
That you stole (you stole…)
I wanted to say goodbye
But something’s inside of me (you know…)
That made me a mutineer
It’s something you tried to keep (you know…)
A violent souvenir
I mean what I say
It’s better this way
But now it’s so hard to bleed
And leaving a scar for me
Of what was supposed to be
But now it’s a part of me
That part is dead to me
Now it’s a part of me
It’s stuck inside of me
And won’t unlock so easily
Accepting the heart’s destiny
And burning the mind’s effigy
But god it’s so hard to believe
That now it’s a part of me
That part is dead to me
Now it’s a part of me
It’s stuck inside of me
And won’t unlock so easily
I don’t think it’s supposed to be a part of me
It’s dead to me

The Bleeding Of The Sun
05:43
|

The walls are bending shape again
There’s poison in the medicine
And a bullet in the gun
Before she disassociates
The Hotel Girl anticipates
The bleeding of the sun
She’s waiting in her wedding gown
The Mariner is 7 stories down
And his garden’s overgrown
But the seeds were never sown
She calls the Scarlet Gentleman
To The Mariner’s indifference
But he’s not the only one
Who’s waiting for the phone to ring
They make the call but she’s not answering
For the bleeding of the sun
And hanging by the chandelier
She takes it as a final souvenir
The ghost was never born
The accounts were overdrawn
He put his hands upon the urn
And sucked the marrow from the bone
Their voices sing in parallel
The Scarlet Gentlemen becomes the general
Of a war that can’t be won
He gives the order to sail to the light
But he knows they’re never going to arrive

Twin Moons

O Lady
Cast not a stone
Claim blame lest kingdoms dethrone
Bright heart beholden to you
My protégé
Twin moons may flicker and dance
To swoon by stay of the lance
Twin moons may wax anew
Bright hearts will rotate into view

Hologram World

Don’t come here
Til the coast is clear
Believe what you wanna see
Believe what you want
It’s a hologram world
Please save some
For the rest of us
Stay home
And be what you wanna be
And do what you want
It’s a hologram world
We’ve got time
An eternity
And freedom to roam
By the sea
We form a radical covenant
A pelican front
Like we want
Like we want
Come back here
On the dark frontier
And mean what you say to me
And say what you want
It’s a hologram world
Please save some
Midnight tangerines
We know
The world is fantasy
We’ll do what we want
We’ll do whatever we want

Autumn Hill

We pour your alms to the bleeding room
To your bleeding room
Even in darkness
Even in providence
And it’s a long way down to the end of the road
It’s a long way down the recovery rope
And I’d have pursued the thrill
Eternally blue until
Autumn Hill
And you realize that there’s something there
That there’s something there
In the exchange we share
Tucked in your auburn hair
And it’s a long way up and I’d only be burned
It’s a long way up and I could never return
And you’d disagree with my permanent black
And I would concede to your counterattack
And you wouldn’t talk if I wanted it so
You wouldn’t ask what you needed to know
Here for no reason lies everything
Under the ash and my seasons of memory
Oh and I’ll waste it to be perfect all of the time
But you’ve broken
Every single
Rule that’s in my head
Where things are better left unsaid
I would’ve seen it through
Oh I would’ve changed for you
I would’ve emptied out
Every last aching doubt
I would endure at will
Just go to your windowsill
Autumn Hill
But you will not recognize
You will not jeopardize
You would not brook my lies
‘Cause honey you’re much too bright
But I will have loved you still
And I always will
Autumn Hill

The sun has set
And soon will rise
The corridors on fire
But the lighting of her eyes
Is a moon in Gemini
It cracks and moans
And fears it’s shown
Its secrets on display
But a January, February
March and April, May
And a June will keep July at bay
Every single word that you said
Spent eleven months in my head
Pen and paper letters unread
Trapped eleven months in my head
But now that I can’t have you
I can’t have you
Like I want to
Like I want to
The stars are set
And heavens known
The chorus will reveal
A platonic love surreal
And an ever-turning wheel
It cracks and moans
And fears it’s shown
Its weakness in the sand
But an August temper in September
Yields October’s hand
And November’s where it all began
Every single word that you said
Spent eleven months in my head
Pen and paper letters unread
Trapped eleven months in my head
But now that I can’t have you
I can’t have you
Like I want to
Like I want to

O Lady
I'm sorry
I guess I can understand your pain

Moonbow

And I’ve seen the never-ending overreach
Through the looking glass
The master and the hound
And we’ll talk of hopeless revolutions
For the song and dance of ever-hanging ‘round
And we’ll stretch our hands across the moonbow
That the love we give would shield us from the pall
And we’ll sail adrift across the moonbow
That the blood we spill would justify the fall
As soon as our cells divide
The bones of our ghosts will die
