"Holding out for rest but on the seventh day I've created nothing and I'm wide awake"

"Why doesn't anyone I know sleep? Are they all just scared of their dreams? When they lay their heads down at night What are they haunted by?"

"Who do you carry the torch for, my young man? Do you believe in anything? Do you carry it around just to burn things down?"

"How darkly the dark hand met his end He was withered and bony; exposed for a phony But we heed the last words that he penned Haste to disgrace the traitor, do not wait till later"

"Well I wish that I was as good as you Caring and trusting And I wish that my condition was new But I'm old and rusting"

"Cars are little blood cells We are oxygen City is the airways Suburbs appendages"

"Well if we take all these things And we bury them fast And we pray that they turn into seeds To roots and then grass It'd be all right, it's all right It'd be easier that way Or if the sky opened up and started pouring rain Like He knew it was time to start things over again It'd be all right, it's all right It'd be easier that way"

"When the army had to hold the line Well you were nowhere near the front Before the kids could tell the dog "goodbye" Well, you were loading up your gun I wanna know I've left the great divide I wanna know what I've become You think that no one else is lonesome You think that you're the only one?"

"It's hard to be the better man When you forget you're trying."

"In the valley of your slowly-fading memory Are there pastures bathed in some uncertain light where you won’t graze? Paths you won't take?"

"A million suns won't fill you up If you can't see the wine flowing over your cup"

"Where's all my hope and my marriage license?"

"If I believe only half what I read I got a reason to be dug in deep"

"For the good Of all men Hold me down Underwater and don't let me up again"

"The champ goes down like a clown in the second round I wish we'd had a better goodbye"

"Hell is digital You'll pray to pieces"

"I stole bricks from the dam almost every day Now I'm drowning in the flood I made Explain myself to me on the other side I'm gonna want some answers when I die"

"In the water, they saw the face Of the man who once owned it, ashamed and disgraced In the water, they asked them both "How did you get the gold without digging any holes?""

"Do you miss the blend Of colors she left in your black and white fields? And do you feel condemned Just for being there?"

"I used to be such a burning example I used to be so original I used to care, I was being cared for Made sure I showed it to those that I love I used to sleep without a single stir Cause I was about my father's work"

"Let's all go play Nagasaki What a lovely way to die A final show and we all go So no one has to say goodbye"

"Well I guess nothing can be perfect, so here's a comforting thought At the bottom of the ocean fish won't judge you by your faults"

"Something's stirring in a deep Atlantic trench Doesn't forget the thousand years before it slept It's the beast, it's my heart, it's open Dive down into it till you hear a tick"

"I want to tell you we're alright Want to erase all your doubt I've got this thorn dug in deeply Sometimes I can't get it out"

"I'm hoping that in time, you can lay down All this weight you've been carrying around and maybe one day You'll find your way To climb on up out of your grave With the bits of you you managed to save"

"Do you know the words that make the hidden door open? Can you speak my secret name and fix me? I have no heart, I have no brain Lord I have no courage Can you get me home again?"

"All I could want is silver and spinning out from your arms And into the pretty pit of your heart So simply and softly we'd flow, but I let you down And swollen and small is where you'll find me now With that silver stripping off from my tongue you're tearing out And you'll never hear me talk"

"And I don't wish to taste of your insides Or to call out your name through my phone For the glory boys at your bedside Will love you as long as you're something to own"

"Someone is waiting To swallow all the halos out of you As your face blows through my windows Sending pieces flying all around the room"

"Follow me through a city of frost covered angels I swear I have nothing to prove I just want to dance in your tangles To give me some reason to move"

"I'm watching Naomi, full bloom I'm hoping she will soon explode Into one billion tastes and tunes One billion angels come and hold her down They hold her down until she shines"

"When you were young, you were the king of carrot flowers"

"Two-headed boy She is all you could need She will feed you tomatoes and radio wire And retire to sheets safe and clean But don't hate her when she gets up to leave"

"And when we break we'll wait for our miracle God is a place where some holy spectacle lies And when we break we'll wait for our miracle God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life"

"And she was born in a bottle rocket, 1929 With wings that ringed around a socket Right between her spine All drenched in milk and holy water Pouring from the sky I know that she will live forever She won’t ever die"

"And in my dreams you're alive and you're crying As your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet Ring of flowers 'round your eyes and I'll love you For the rest of your life (When you're ready)"

"Semen stains the mountaintops"

"The Earth looks better from a star That's right above from where you are"

"Goldaline my dear, we will fold and freeze together Far away from here there is sun and spring and green forever But now we move to feel for ourselves inside some stranger's stomach Place your body here, let your skin begin to blend itself with mine"

"I know they buried her body with others her Sister and mother and 500 families And will she remember me 50 years later I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine"

"Now she’s a little boy in Spain Playing pianos filled with flames On empty rings around the sun."

"And one day we will die And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea But for now we are young Let us lay in the sun And count every beautiful thing we can see Love to be In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me"

"I will shout until they know what I mean."

"Oh, how I remember you How I would push my fingers through your mouth to make those muscles move That made your voice so smooth and sweet."

"And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy’s shoulder And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor As we would lay and learn what each other’s bodies were for."

"I love you, Jesus Christ Jesus Christ, I love you, yes I do"
