1. Bad Trash
Lilies may grow
Even through the snow
The sun will rise
Sparkle your eyes
The wind shall blow bad trash away
When anguish is near
Somebody please polish the stars
For their skin is dull
Somebody please awaken the sun
And never let it fall
Somebody please stir up the sky
Emotionally so it must cry
Somebody please polish the stars
(Lilies may grow)
For their skin is dull
(Even through the snow)
Somebody please awaken the sun
(The sun will rise)
And never let it fall
(Sparkle your eyes, sparkle your eyes)
Somebody please stir up the sky
(The wind shall blow)
Bad trash away when anguish is near
Bad trash away when anguish is near
The wind shall blow bad trash away
When anguish is near
Bad trash away when anguish is near
2. Dissolve
Can you see me going down
I am screaming out loud
And the fear of god
is in me now
Dissolve
In the moonshine
I leave no trace
My visions have gone
Far away from this place
They've dissolved
Can you see me going down
I am screaming out loud
And the fear of god
is in me now
Dissolve
Dissolve
Dissolve
3. Wallflower
Slowly she moves underground
Far below is where she is found
Quickly now she's moving up
Seed of need it will erupt
Something is happening
underneath the ground
For she's been waiting to bloom
Thinking and wondering
Of her climb up to the sun
For she's been waiting to bloom
Waiting for her
Thinking now she can't ever get in
Dizzy now from the earth and its spin
Forcing her she must give up
Seed of need it will erupt
Waking so sweetly
The earth she has outgrown
For she's been waiting to bloom
Stretching she's growing
Her time has just begun
For she's been waiting to bloom
Waiting for her
Let me grow
The soil it strangles me
Let me grow
The soil it strangles me
Something is happening
Underneath the ground
For she's been waiting to bloom
Thinking and wondering
Of her climb up to the sun
For she's been waiting to bloom
Waiting to bloom
4. Wrecking Yard
Gather round to hear this tale
A story which has grown old
Torn of their pride
Stars crash and collide
The wrecking yard's grown cold
They may laugh and they may say that
This doesn't happen oh no
If you happen to see them just listen
Take away some of their pain tonight
These are saddened times today
This sickened place we live
We walk right through the wrecking yard
It's nothing that we give
Listen now to the songs they sing
They try to stay warm
But the cold it stays
Houses are worn
Absent of storm
They're learning how tonight
Dancing in the night
They're shining up above the sky
Laughing in their darkest times
You'll see them asleep in the rain tonight
These are saddened times today
This sickened place we live
We walk right through the wrecking yard
It's nothing that we give
These are saddened times today
This sickened place we live
We're walking right on
through the wrecking yard
It's nothing that we give we're going
We're going
We're walking right on
through the wrecking yard
It's nothing that we give
Gather round to hear this tale
A story which has grown old
5. Clown
Crying loud you are crawling on the floor
Just a beautiful baby
You're nothing more
Close your eyes
You are crawling into sleep
I swear I won't break you
If you let me take you
Where the willows never weep
Where the willows never weep
Coming quick into your wonderland
Flying high on bleached white sand
Tranquilized by lights you'll lose your way
Well just come with me and I'll make you see
With me you'll want to stay
Can baby come out to play
Down you're going
Down you're going
Down you're going
Down
Circus lights are shutting slowly down
But still you're up in the air
And loving your wings
My dear you play the clown
You're still up in the air
And loving your wings
What's gonna happen when you come down
6. Cocoon
She is flying
Soaring through the air up there
My butterfly
In the sky she loves to spy
She's way up high
My butterfly
Floating in the sky
Is her state of mind
She is flying
Soaring through the air up there
My butterfly
7. Dollhouse
Pushing, pulling me down again
Pushing, pulling me down again
It's getting bad
I can't breathe
I won't let them in
I won't let them in
Crushing, pushing me down again
Crushing, pushing me down again
I need to get away
Listen now to their hurting words
They rip and they do tear
Pushing out all of my hidden things
Hold my hand and take me there
Sickened eyes seem to mesmerize
They're melting as they glow
Mesmerize your alibis
They're laughing in the snow
People climbing up the walls
Breaking all of my wretched dolls
Fingernails they scratch outside
In the attic is where I'll hide
People climbing up the walls
Breaking all of my wretched dolls
Fingernails they scratch outside
In the attic is where I'll hide
I won't let them in
8. Sweet
Broken people
Hollow and feeble
They're rolling
Rolling up the hill
Rotten ingrate
Stupid mistakes
They're rolling
Rolling up the hill
Wishing wells and
cockle shells
They swim
throughout my
head
My eyes are
closing slowly
As I'm lowering my head
Wanting and getting
Silent setting
They're rolling
Rolling up the hill
Robbing and burning
Wasted learning
They're rolling
Rolling up the hill
Wishing wells and
cockle shells
They swim
throughout my
head
My eyes are
closing slowly
As I'm lowering my head
Breaking in
In my eyes
I can't see like this
I can't let go
Please help me down
I can't be like this
Seeing(Fearing) them
Them all around
How can they be so sweet?
Sweet
They panic so
Just hold them down
I could live like this
I'm closing in
Hey, all around
I could be like this
Hearing them
Them in my head
How can they be so sweet?
Sweet
They're all around
Hey, hear me say
They're all around, yeah
They're all around
Hey, hear me say
They're all around, yeah
They're all around
Hey, hear me say
How can they be so sweet?
Sweet
They're all around
(Breaking in)
All around
(In my eyes)
All around
(I can't see like this)
They're all around
(I can't let go)
All around
(Please help me down)
All around
(I can't be like this)
They're all around
(Seeing them)
All around
(Them all around)
They're all around
(How can they be)
They're so sweet
Sweet
9. Gutter Glitter
Irridescent eyes of
the seahorse rise
Treasure she loves
Others dispise
A shooting star shan't fall very far
Dim fireflies held in glass jars
April showers brings May flowers
Dazzling dust tossed in wind gusts
The trap door is open
The window half closed
The tapestry curtain
vivaciously closed
London bridge did fall down
My fair lady nearly drowned
What is the reason to lock her up
When already she's had
such rotten luck
Bracelets of silver adorn my wrists
Candy kisses from sugared lips
Candy kisses me
Kisses me
The London bridge did fall down
My fair lady nearly drowned
(My fair lady)
The London bridge did fall down
My fair lady nearly drowned
(My fair lady)
London bridge is falling down
Falling down
Falling down
London bridge is falling down
My fair lady
Take the key and lock her up
Lock her up
Lock her up
Take the key and lock her up
My fair lady
10. Mine Eyes
Will the angels sing tonight
Or will they perish in the shadows of this newborn light
Will we crumble into dust
Will we blow away
Like the ravens did yesterday
Can we mend this broken reed
Seal the doom of this house of cards
I only want to hear the angels laugh
Are they sleeping on the edge of the sky?
Will the candles burn all night
Or will the darkness engulf us and swallow our sight
Can we go to the same ground if the nightengale sings
Gather round the fountain as the churchbells ring
I only want to hear the angels laugh
Are they sleeping on the edge of the sky?
I only want to listen to the angels sing
Are they crying on the glimpse of mine eyes?
I only want to hear the angels laugh
Are they sleeping on the edge of the sky?
I only want to listen to the angels sing
Are they crying on the glimpse of mine eyes?
I only want to hear the angels laugh
Are they sleeping on the edge of the sky?
I only want to listen to the angels sing
Are they crying on the glimpse of mine eyes?
11. Bloody Knuckles
