The Sun it rips through the blinds. The bird are a talking and the sky rains wine. I don’t want to get up right now because my darlin’ is out and about.
So I wait around, waiting ain’t easy once love comes around. But I’m fine.
Oh yes, I’m fine.
Oh over what can I do. Of all of the ways tat I love you, you won’t let me in. Oh, please let me in.
A chalice without any wine. It’s not that I’m empty all of the time. I just need filled up, so come on, fill me up with love.
So I turn my back to the Sun, the day it ain’t easy for everyone.
Would you please come home tonight.
Would you please come home?
Would you please come home tonight.

Make it Personal

I woke up real slow, got nowhere I need to go
Flicker the lights to see if it’s bright just to kill all the lies that you tell you at night
Make it personal. Find your style, love but make it personal.

Lay The Body Down

Inhabit the cold room. Try to keep yourself warm. Pounds of everything.
Reduce it to nothing. Try to keep your eyes closed. It sees you everywhere. Wipe the tears and hear them say...
Sorry for your loss son. Try to keep yourself warm- he always loved you dear. Haven’t seen you in the churchyard. His soul is gone with our Lord. You know he’s in a better place.
I know God and he’s not here
I know why you’re all near, won’t someone do it all fucking ready
Lay the body down, would you lay the body down...

Out of My Mind

I know it won’t be long, it won’t be long, it won’t be long
I can’t seem to get away from the ground
Well I fell down
I know it won’t be long
Out of my mind
I can’t seem to cope at all

Slowly controlling, make it feel right again.
Slowly de-rolling, make it feel right again.
Though we’re picking up stuff.
Destroy me. Make it feel right again.
You can take anything with you to the afterlife
Though we’re picking up stuff.

Wonder
02:30

You don’t know why I understand
Look in my eye. I don’t know yours. Say you’ll be now
Don’t you get slow now, we’ve got a few years
When I was younger I woke up real early to see a reflection on a wall
It drew me in since it’s source was so secluded- me eyes it eluded.
Pecking like a rare bird wondering, confused by the glass of the door.
Where is mysticism?
If not in innocence?
Why was wonder for kids and God for the rest of us?

If you could look back on everything that you’ve done, what would you say? Well that’s alright.
How would you tell everyone that you love that you’re here to stay?
Make it personal
Lay the body down
Out of my mind
You’ve seen how far we’ve come
Though we’re picking up stuff
You’ll see how far we go
Would you please come home
Why was wonder for kids do God for the rest of us?
You’ve seen how far we’e come
You’ll see how far we go.
