Diamonds

Forget about the relics you came here for
Take the water I poured for myself
Go on, go on lightly from my wasteland
Go on, believe in someone new
You'll still be my diamond
A single star always to light this ruin
Every day I walk to you through graveyards, dear girl
But you never leave open the gate

In Columbkille you lost, or maybe you forgot
All that's contained in a young girl's heart
You never looked so confident, you never had to try
And I don't know what you saw in the deep black sky
Tell me, Christine, have I lost you again
If you ask me to leave I will never want to forget
The ways you follow me, the softness of your skin
I don't know what you felt when you pulled me in
I want to take you out
I want to make you feel
All we destroyed I wish I could heal
I don't know how it all went wrong
I don't know how you hide in the dark
Those shining eyes
Before the cross we kissed at the top of the stair
All that I know I learned it there
You never looked so delicate, you never had to try
And I don't know what you saw in deep black sky
Tell me Christine, will I find you again
You ask me to stay but I never wanted
To leave this house for anyone, to suffer in the sun
I could open the door, but I can't outrun
The failing of the light
The sound of our Steven
Clawing at the wall. I can almost hear
Every step he takes through the hall
I don't know how we lost to the dark
Our radiant boy

I won't believe you
Let you take what you want from me
When I know I've seen you
Seen what kind of company you keep
You only want me when I'm on my back for you
It's not enough to say you'd leave her, too, someday
When you gave to me this little bird to kill
It kept you still for a while
They will never call you friend
But I just might
Even though you always let me down
I still cry
I always knew you would return one day with teeth
To tear out of me the secrets I can't keep
If you could stay and be yourself awhile
They would notice you
They would know why you
They would know why you smile

Light In August
04:14
|

They came to you in summer, pushing in
It doesn't matter what you did
In your eyes I see the bad news, the dead moon
How can you heal you without you
I want to feel the moonlight on my skin
Don't go home tonight
You could make me whole again
Cover me in light of burning sky
Don't go out tonight, Aurora
They never knew you suffered in the car
The faces followed you so far
You don't know what came first
The kick or the fall
Or what hurt worse
I want to feel the moonlight on my skin
Don't go home tonight
You could make me whole again
Cover me in light of burning sky
Don't go out tonight, Aurora
The echoes of the wind in winter die
Before I say goodbye
All I feel is weightlessness
Your picture's still preserved behind the glass
Whatever you may need
You never have to ask
I only wanted you to tell the truth
To take off and tie down
Look into the big sky
Look into your heart and feel the lie failing you
Every morning when you walk to school
You can't help but cry out
Look into the big sky
Nothing in the big sky
Won’t you come and wait with me
Beside the August fire
Won’t you find a way to me
I can’t leave
You made me feel so small

Chlodio, why'd you cut your hair
High fade, soft glow, undress
I am not comfortable, aware
Herbivore men love less
Charlie, you can never come back
Charlie, you can never come back
I love you, too, but that's no way to react
I guess I'll finish if you start
I am not certain I'm aware
Herbivore men eat less

Catacombs
03:03

I ran into everything at once
Accounted for ordinary
So colorful, I am tickled pink
The catacombs I'm staying
The 44 for the three at night
What do you mean, just say it
I'll call her for you, I know you're shy
I want to belong to anything at all
Anything at all
I fell in love with everyone again
The hardest part, I just don't let go
It's beautiful when you've made a friend
The catacombs I'm staying
The 45 for the three at night
You had to see her one last time
I'll be your girl, but I've been so mean
I want to belong to anything at all
Anything at all

Violet
03:36

I see in crystal visions
White light ahead of me
Blue hands, broken bodies
Dull silver underneath
I hear you calling
You're never there
I hear your footsteps
But I can't find you anywhere
I couldn't stop you
I had my chance
I didn't know what you had lost
I couldn't ask
And in your great depression
I wish I'd stopped to see
Blue eyes painted violet
Dead oceans shimmering
And when I saw you
Beside the bed
Your fingers broken in a fist
Your body bare
I didn't know you that way
Could've failed you any day
I knew your secrets
I knew your name
You could hold on I need you
Been working so long but I can't break through
I feel in the dark for you beside me
And I won't go back to sleep
You're still a part of me
And my heart's still breaking

I can taste it on your breath
You speak so softly
I will be your fading star
Gotta get used to it
It's good to see you're hanging on
Onto the details
I don't hear the birds at dawn
Cuz I'm in the basement locked in
I can't wait to meet you there
How long will you suffer
I can feel the summer sand
Something is following me
I don't know what I do well
I do it all anyway
It's good to see you're moving on
I'll see you in fall if that's all

Lucy's Arm
04:03
|

It's so good to see you, but I can't seem to
feel the crushing tide
And I don't have to drive by old skies
To know you're not inside
Did you think I wouldn't notice the slow death
Did you hear the voices call
You should do whatever heals you
You need to. Don't break that baby's arm
You wear that black dress well
Take it off on Tuesday morning
I used to watch that dark horse run
through the veins in Lucy's Arm
It's not enough
I'm not in love
Do whatever heals you
But I don't need to see you on the coast
And I don't have to drop by North Sky
To know you're not inside
Don't call me up for nothing
Come down
Slip into my room
I don't think I'd feel you
It's too soon
I never learned to use these ribs of Adam
You wear that black dress well
But I can't be the friend you wanted
I used to watch that dark horse run
Through the veins in Lucy's Arm
Follow down empty skyways
Tear my sleeve
Never leave

Those moonsongs
Billy sang to you when we were young
I have not forgotten
Every day I watch you slip away
Don't know what's wrong
What are you hiding from
I know you're drifting
You're books are right where you left them
Come home soon
In all the empty rooms you have been given
Believe us
You need us
When we were young
I sat beside you close in Al-Anon
And drove you where you wanted
If you fail I'll cover up the trail
You know I know how low to go
To build you slowly
To satisfy my weakness for precision
Show your bruises
Don't pretend to love the ones who left them
Oh, dear June, just smile when you see us
