when i love someone
i don't want to shout it
when i love someone
i don't want to shout it from
the top of the highest mountain
when i love someone i dont want to shout at all
when i love someone i like to hide until it's gone
until he goes away
cause i never fall for the type who'll chase me
and i should know better
but somewhere between hello and his first promise
i lose my bearings
and somewhere between when he says
he could kiss me forever
and the first time he forgets
i find
i don't
want him
i don't
even
want him

The Rescue

when your mother left she gave you pearls
you threw them in the tub
declared the water home
you stayed there for too long
lost them to the drain
you told your girlfriend
it's what you meant to do
she thinks that you are the strongest man she's ever known
she'll feed you whiskey with a spoon
silver lining shining through
laugh so hard you've got to smile until you forget
what isn't true
like when your mother would tell you
stories of her past
choose what to remember cause nothing ever lasts
that night
i swear
i believed
in ghosts
you
brought her back
to life
she
gave you her blessing
she
named you son
asked you to make
mistakes in her name
you
made me one
I know you felt
better
and I won't tell
anyone
well, maybe you're just here because
you're looking for a crutch
i'll need a pillar
someday,
too
i don't care that you're using me
i tried to mind, but i couldn't do it
we don't
owe
each other
a thing

have all the songs been written twice?
have all the tears for love
already been cried?
was i born in a time
when nothing left on earth
would let me quiet my mind
i had this thought
that you had changed
come to find
you stayed just the same
now i do believe you
when you say
you forgive me after all
scale of doves' bones
declare my heart too heavy
from losing what nothing was mine
man of porcelain
with your face like a plate
i left you somewhere along the way
but you're safe in my heart
i had this thought
that you had changed
come to find
you stayed just the same

may pole made of woven boughs of hemlocks
four brothers at the ends of ribbons
binding rainbow twisting round
poison dionysus
living breathing
tallest figure in the thawing field
they danced
until
they all fell down
what has become of me?
where are the brothers
that promised to set me free?
my arms thrashed against what
i dreamt were confines
the walls
the base of the tub
woke up on the bathroom floor
wearing only cold and drying sweat
where did my strength go?
too weak to stand
where are you?
and how can i stop hating you
watched you shake
the bars of the cell in my vision
cast some spell
shed your skin
what has become of you?
and how can i stop hating you?
