Face down.
There's no poetry in my bed
Just hair and skin.
Of simpler times when I didn't
Need your love
Like the falling rain
Needs a place to land
And dry away.
But now I fall so hard
Every fucking day
And I've gone too far
To turn away.
Face down.
Building hope is a lot like
Cobbling together five bucks
For a pint.
I dream of a beautiful feeling
When all I have is grey.
Now I need you more
Than the falling rain
Needs a place to land
And dry away.
But now I fall so hard
Every fucking day
And I've gone too far
To turn away.
My education
Was a seminar for
An investment firm.
Your education
Wasn't that much better
From what I've heard.
All the trust we're laying down
When the better part of everyone
Skipped to call their dealer
In the seventh grade.
And you.
You've got a beautiful face.
What'cha gonna do with that name?

Falling in love with men
Is an act of forgiveness
Velvet kneelers and a
Dozen souls rubbed clean.
Confessional alley,
Walk like everyone you see
With one foot ahead and
One behind.
Misery walks from
Dawn to dawnhead.
Fixed with dreamlessness
And touched by steel.
In the pink light
Behind shattered glass,
Everyone looks and
Everyone sees
Handprints disappearing
Into dust
And
There will
Be dust.
Now I am a spider
Holding up two pieces of web
Broken enough to fly.
Breathing engine warmth
You are the brightest car in
A dark parking lot.
Once new this image of
Survival in love and all his
Victims carrying
Visions stretched grey with de
Light some face down closer than the
Others to the source.
Then I lose my name and I am
Down again.
Though I know my
Spirit will be freed.
Loving like an engine wears the
Tire thin.
Loving like someone who
Can't believe.
Feel like a foreign anything
Feel like a foreign anything
Feel like a fraud.
Mm mm I want to linger
Mm mm a little longer
Mm mm a little longer
Here with you.
(I'mthinkingaboutbuyingacarafaststeelmotorcariwantittohavemynamewrittenonthetiressothatitcan'tbeseenwhenidriveit)
Mm mm I want to linger
Mm mm a little longer
Mm mm a little longer
Here with you.
