Virgin Hymn 04:56
This is the bed made on my own This is the Hymn I sing alone No mystery for her nor me Only the loneliness beneath I write her songs I leave her poems I think of her and her alone Her destiny is meant for me I need her and I need to know Sleep with me sleep with me sleep with me I need your sympathy Tear all the runes from your eyelids And think of my needs I watch her move from room to room I hide under a bright new moon I wait for her to be alone I follow her into her home Sleep with me sleep with me sleep with me I need your sympathy Tear all the runes from your eyelids And think of my needs Sleep with me stay with me pity me Lend me your dignity Lie on the bed do the line While I pry open thine knees

Suicide who knew that losing your sight you would find Another reason in the whites of your eyes to survive In your mind it was a suitable sign But let's not think about it Do it right for it's a matter of time 'til you find Another method to unravel the line of your life But it's fine we'll write it off as a crime And never talk about it Suicide but then I don't know if I know it's right To feel embarrassed when the night brought your arms to the knife And decide to tell a beautiful lie But let's not think about it I know I don't want to go I've had these hands at my throat Come bring me down from the rope And don't let me go You and I we've had our troubles to chide and deride In contemplation of an end to the feeling inside But it's not over 'til it's over and I Don't want to hear about it Suicide but I admit I was blind when you tried To find another person willing to hide and confide Your design of air your body deprive So yeah I knew about it I'm not alive I'm a ghost I'm dead inside I'm alone I'll write goodbye in my note The one that you wrote I know that I'll be alright It's not your problem it's mine It's like I already died In social suicide I survived and though I'm doing alright I still try And wonder why I never made it in time to your side To do right tell you it wasn't your time But I don't think about it

Boredom kills Boredom killed your mother Boredom kills I suppose I lie still Deprived of thrills and pleasure I wait until I'm alone He fell ill He came and died inside her A child born still nine months cold But boredom kills Boredom killed your lover Boredom kills I should know

Name of Love 05:36
Let me in let me in Carolina From the rain and the wind let me in 'Cause I've made some mistakes yes I've caused you some pain If it's all just the same let me in Am I only the one that you long for Is there somebody else on your mind 'Cause I'm yours you are mine say it one final time I am yours you are mine I am yours We trade words for silence without any meaning And I am the writer of my own defeating The inside is hollow the outside is charming It's calm and alarming to fall in the name of love It's my love that you've taken for granted Left me out by the road for the crows I can't live without you how can you be so cruel Love has played me a fool once again We trade words for silence without any meaning And I am the writer of my own defeating The inside is hollow the outside is charming It's calm and alarming to fall in the name of love

Lady Rosalyn 03:42
I haven't seen you in a lunar year The thing I've wanted for so long If I could see you would you remember In silence leaning on my arm And are you even on my hemisphere The way you're always on my mind I was in London you were in Paris To find the freedom that I missed Will I ever see you again Lady Rosalyn On what do my feelings depend Unbearable weekends will end without Ambien Only then will I see you again Though I regret it I am sick of here Adventure gave into my fear I wish I met her when I was younger Before I found out love was shared Will I ever see you again Lady Rosalyn On what do my feelings depend Unbearable weekends will end without Ambien Only then will I see you again When will I see you again When will I see you As a friend

Sunshine 03:36
I think I'll stay inside the sun's too bright for my eyes It's burning up the sky and burning holes in our minds It seems to know the light we stole It seems to know this world we owe And everything it tried to grow It only wanted us to Leave alone (Leave me alone) What do I say to that On the telephone What do I say to that Living underground I sweat it's all the same Spinning all around on a solar plane Leave alone (Leave me alone)
