The world is ending, as we're both just standing still

And you've got an angel, sleeping on your window sill

Do we love ourselves, in the name of god?

And do we learn to love, when it's all we've got?

Well, I do... 

Yeah, I do

Because our love was fleeting

Yeah, we should 

When everyone's leaving

I love you

But, this boat will not stay afloat

We're sinking, as I'm tearing out your throat

This town hold no more for me

All my life I try to find another way

I don't care for your attitude

You bring me down I think you're rude

All my life I try to make a better day

It's hard enough being alone

Sitting here by the phone

Waiting for my memories

To come and play

It's hard enough sitting there

Rockin' in your rockin' chair

It's all too much to take

When you're not there

I miss the part, when we were moving forward now

(On our way down)

But maybe someday, I'll be something more than love

Just know I'll never tell

And when you're on your way down

And you're waiting for your body's re-entry again

We speak in different voices

When fighting with the ones we've loved

We speak in different voices

Why can't we say what we're thinking of

I'm missing parts, now that you've told me everything

(On our way down)

And I was blessed, and I've forgotten how to love

You said you'd never tell

And when you're on your way down

Well it's the saddest day of my life

I don't know where we are

I don't know what to do

Too dropped to go driving

Since you escaped my life

It's hard-nosed darkness, and I

It's June now,

And I'm going to find you

Just as soon as I can get to the right

I'm going to watch you be gone

Baby what have I done?

Wicked witch of the highway

Sitting in a river tonight

To drown this darkness,and spite

The single reminder, of sunlight

It's sad when you leave me alone

I get so scared

I just sit by the phone

It's sad when you leave me alone

I've no desire since you left

I couldn't get my eyes to see much wronger

Well it's the happiest time of the year 

For those who've had it, Oh dear

I guess I get it

Spirit seasoning for the future

Dock party, man over side

Howl in the darkness, and die

But you know, I'm going to find you

It's sad when you leave me alone

I get so scared

I just sit by the phone

It's sad when you leave me alone

I've no desire since you left

I couldn't get my eyes to see much wronger

You look terrified of me

You might do worse

Don't fantasize on me 

Your heart will bleed

Your eyes will burn

Damned, if I can't speak the magic words

Sit on a rich man, and get back your itch

Sit on a rich man, and get back your reach

But you're wrong, girl

But, you're wrong, girl

It's sad when you leave me alone

Why do shadows crawl?

All along the floor?

Remember all those days?

Staring through the window pane?

Is it really what you wanted to say?

And no, I never even gave it a thought

But I know we can't stay the same

That I would set you in line

If only I had the strength

And power cables everywhere

Exercising self-control

On my face I scratched out something like a silhouette

Around the golden ten like lambs

On my face I've hidden away any embarrassment,

Away from my acquaintances

I'm not sold on anything but half a dream

I'm not sensing a thing

I see a blank notebook page

And it's my life and there is

Nothing I can think to write

I fear the thought of not sensing a thing

I hope you don't see a thing

I said, smile through everyone you ever see

(So what you gave him the time of day)

Twist back and end this suffering

I'll dance around, I honestly give up and de robe

I see a blank notebook page

And it's my life and there is

Nothing I can think to write

I fear the thought of not sensing a thing

Right side falls

Heavenly grace to you I owe you too

Right side because

Heaven and I should be so easy

But the memory's different

And I'd rather forget 

Feeling around for the hold...

Midas to the touch, I'm told

On our backs, in your bed

Five years ago in a picture 

With a smile that's satisfied forever

Never again, is a safe bet.

Like the burning house

Cause it will never last, never last.

The covered walls answer slowly

With your talking, and your pills

And brave songs, disappear 

To the secret voice of dawn 

This last time, raise my eyes

From my brain is where i bleed
Insanity it seems
It's got me by my soul to squeeze

Where's all the love for me
With all the dying trees i scream
The angels in my dreams, yeah
They turn to demons of greed that's me

Where I go I just don't know
I've got to got to gotta take it slow
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna give ya some of my good time

Today love smiled on me
It took away my pain say please
Oh let your ride be free
You gotta let it be, oh yeah

Where I go I just don't know
I've got to gotta gotta take it slow
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna give ya some of my good time

Oh so polite indeed
Well I've got everything I need
Oh make my days of greed
And take away my self-destruction

It's bitter baby and its very sweet
I'm on a roller coaster but I'm on my feet
Take me to the river lay me on your shore

Well I'll be comin' back, baby 
I'll be comin' back for more
I could not forget, but I will not endeavor
Simple pleasures aren't as special
But I wont regret it, never

Where I go I just don't know
I've got to, got to, gotta take it slow
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna give ya some of my good time

Where I go I just don't know
I might end up somewhere in Mexico
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna keep it for the end of time

Lost myself

When I looked in your eyes

I tried to disguise myself fear inside

The suffering, moved and breathed 

Our hands silhouettes against the sky 

I lost myself 

When spoken words agreed

Shall we dance again?

Poems may surprise

Stolen pearl caught my eye

Stole the truth

From my heart

Fear inside

Where were you? 

I Hope to chain this memory

We could have been the last time

Show me the sigh of the side of chance

Hold tomorrow 

One foot in, and one foot out

Are you strong enough, are you strong enough?

Pitiful boy.

I lost myself 

In moments embrace

I saw the lie come clear

Fear inside

Fallen now 

Child run away 

I tried to reveal myself 

But fear inside 

Where were you?

Help me unchain this memory

We could have been the last time

Show me the sigh of the side of chance

Hold tomorrow 

One foot in, and one foot out

Are you strong enough, are you strong enough?

So station me,

Wherever, you think I'm linked

'Cause I should've given 

Everything I believed 

So that you could see 

But I thought tomorrow 

It would be different 

And that it would fall through 

With time spent in your kitchen 

Talking about the times 

We felt the same things 

And if I was forced to say 

That everything's okay

I'd be lying and remembering you 

It's just the second day

So no reminders,

Of what I've said, and done 

You said what you thought of me 

And I can't disagree 

With words so honest, 

They seemed never ending

You were wide open 

And I wish I could say the same 

But we know the truth 

Most words can never say 

What needs to be said 

To make endings understood 

But I thought tomorrow 

It would be different 

And that it would fall through 

With time spent in your kitchen 

Talking about the times 

We felt the same things 

So pick a station, and send me 

So I know where I stand, 

'Cause I've felt the wind 

And wished that I could 

See the meaning 

But I can't see anything

We learned more from a three minute record 

Than we ever learned in school

Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound

I can feel my heart begin to pound

You say you're tired, 

And you just want to close your eyes 

And follow your dreams down

We made a promise, 

We swore we'd always remember

No retreat, no surrender

Like soldiers in the winter's night 

With a vow to defend

No retreat, no surrender

Now young faces grow sad, and old 

And hearts of fire grow cold

We swore blood brothers, against the wind

I'm ready to grow young again

And hear your sister's voice, calling us home 

Across the open yards

Well maybe we could cut someplace of our own

With these drums, and these guitars

Blood brothers in the stormy night 

With a vow to defend

No retreat, no surrender

Now on the street tonight, the lights grow dim

The walls of my room are closing in

There's a war outside still raging

You say it ain't ours anymore to win

I want to sleep beneath peaceful skies, in my lover's bed

With a wide open country in my eyes

And these romantic dreams, in my head

 My Father's House

By Bruce Springsteen

Last night I dreamed, that I was a child 

Out where the pines grow, wild and tall

I was trying to make it home through the forest 

Before the darkness falls

I heard the wind rustling, through the trees 

And ghostly voices, rose from the fields

I ran with my heart pounding, down that broken path

With the devil, snappin' at my heels

I broke through the trees, and there in he night

My fathers house stood, shining hard and bright 

The branches and brambles 

Tore my clothes, and scratched my arms

But I ran till I fell, shaking, in his arms

I awoke and I imagined

The hard things that pulled us apart

Will never again, sir

Tear us from each others hearts

I got dressed, and to that house I did ride 

From out on the road 

I could see its windows shining in light

I walked up the steps, and stood on the porch 

A woman I didn't recognize 

Came and spoke to me through a chained door

I told her my story and who Id come for

She said "I'm sorry son,

 but no one by that name lives here anymore."

My fathers house shines, hard and bright 

It stands like a beacon, calling me in the night

Calling, and calling, so cold and alone

Shining cross this dark highway, where our sins lie unatoned
