i say tell me the truth, but you don't dare
you say love is a hell you cannot bear
and I say gimme mine back and then go there - for all I care
you got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem
this mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviantways
so don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell toraise
i could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride
first you run like a fool just to be at my side
and now you run like a food, but you just run to hide, and I can't abide
you got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem
this mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviantways
so don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell toraise
we're not playing a game anymore; you don't have to be so defensive
don't you plead me your case, don't bother to explain
don't even show me your face, 'cuz it's a crying shame
just go back to the rock from under which you came
take the sorrow you gave and all the stakes you claim -
and don't forget the blame
you got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem
this mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviantways
so don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell toraise
all day -- and all night
i wander the halls along the walls and under my breath
i say to myself
i need fuel -- to take flight --
but it's calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion
under the waves in the blue of my oblivion
they don't know I used to sail the deep and tranquil sea
but he washed my shore and he took my perl
and left and empty shell of me
but it's clam under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion
under the waves in the blue of my oblivion
under the waves in the blue of my oblivion
it's calm under the waves in the blur of my oblivion
What a cruel thing to pretend
What a cunning way to condescend
Once my lover, and now my friend
Oh, you creep up like the clouds
And you set my soul at ease
Then you let your love abound
And you bring me to my knees
grace enrapture me
When well you know, I'd be insance -
to ever let that dirty game recapture me
I wanna be ready for what you do
I been swinging all around me
'Cause I don't know when you're
gonna make your move
And you fill your space so sweet
If I let you get too close
You'll set your spell on me
So darlin' I just wanna say
Just in case I don't come through
I was on to every play
I just wanted you
no reverence to my concern
So I'll be sure to stay weary of you, love,
to save the pain of
Once my flame and twice my burn
I wanna be ready for what you do
I been swinging all around me
'Cause I don't know when you're
gonna make your move
I've been careless with a delicate man
And its a sad sad world
When a girl will break a boy
Just because she can
Don't you tell me to deny it
I've done wrong and I want to
Suffer for my sins
I've come to you 'cause I need
Guidance to be ture
And I just don't know where I can begin
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love
Save me from these evil deeds
Before I get them done
I know tomorrow brings the consequence
At hand
But I keep livin' this day like
The next will never come
To deny it
I've got to cleanse myself
Of all these lies till I'm good
Enough for him
I've got a lot to lose and I'm
Bettin' high
So I'm beggin' you before it ends
Just tell me where to begin
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love
Before there's hell to pay
Give me room to lay the law and let me go
I've got to make a play
To make my lover stay
So what would an angel say
The devil wants to know
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
yeah, some old fires were burning
you came near to me and you endeared to me
but you couldn't quite discern me
but your heart will not oblige you
you'll remember me like a melody
yeah, I'll haunt the world inside you
slow like honey, heavy with mood
i'll invade your demeanor
and you'll yield to me like a scent in the breeze
and you'll wonder what it is about me
slow like honey, heavy with mood
like faces are to hearts
they serve for sweet relieving
when fantasy and reality lie too far apart
and I pull you to the edge
and stand there waiting
trying to attain
the end to satisfy the story
shall I release you?
must I release you?
as I rise to meet my glory
gonna hover over your life
gonna keep you reaching
when I'm gone like yesterday
when I'm high like heaven
when I'm strong like music
'cuz I'm slow like honey, and
heavy with mood
waiting for the black to replace my blue
i do not struggle in your web because it was my aim to get caught
but daddy longlegs, I feel that I'm finally growing weary
of waiting to be consumed by you
forever
darling, just start the chase - I'll let you win but you must
make the endeavor
adagio breezes fill my skin with sudden red
your hungry flirt borders intrusion
i'm building memories on things we have not said
full is not heavy as empty, not nearly my love, not nearly my love, not
nearly
forever
darling, just start the chase - I'll let you win, but you must
make the endeavor
its colors' richness won't appear within your view
i'll never glow - the way that you glow
your presence dominates the judgements made on you
the shades and shadows undulate in my perception
my feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights
i understand what I am still too proud to mention - to you
you'll say you'd never give up seeing eye to eye
but never is a promise, and you can't afford to lie
the skin of my emotions lies beneath my own
you'll never feel the heat of this soul
My fever burns my jock itched crotch me deeper than I've ever shown - to you
You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high
But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie
I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night
You'll never hear the message I give
You'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heights
I realize what I am now too smart to mention - to you
I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why
I don't know what to believe in, you don't know who I am
You'll say I need appeasing when I start to cry
But never is a promise and I'll never need a lie
Take the shade from the canvas and leave me the white
Let me sink in the silence that echoes inside
And don't bother leaving the light on
'Cuz I suddenly feel like a different person
From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion
And I ran my hand o'er a strange inversion
A vacancy that just did not belong
The child is gone
I'm a stranger to myself
But don't reach for me, I'm too far away
I don't wanna talk 'cuz there's nothing left to say
So my
Darling, give me your absence tonight
Take all of your sympathy and leave it outside
'Cuz there's no kind of loving that can make this all right
I'm trying to find a place I belong
And I suddenly feel like a different person
From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion
And I ran my hand over a strange inversion
As the darkness turns into the dawn
The child is gone
The child is gone
The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on my skin
But as the embers of the summer lost their breath and disappeared
My heart went cold and only hollow rhythms resounded from within
But then he rose, brilliant as the moon in full
And sank in the burrows of my keep
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
Gentle on the surface of his thoughts his body floats
Unweighted down by passion or intensity
Yet unaware of the depth upon which he coasts
And he finds a home in me
For what misfortune sows, he knows my touch will reap
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
All my armour falling down, in a pile at my feet
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
What's gone is gone and you can't bring it back around
Won't do no good to hold no searchlight
You can't illuminate what time has anchored down
Oh, Honey (I've gone a-)
Oh, Honey (I've gone away)
No sound could simulate the presence of a man
Won't do no good asking no questions
Your divination should acquaint You with the plan
Oh, Honey (I've gone a-)
Oh, Honey (I've gone away)
Like the carrion of a murdered prey
And all I want is to save you, honey
Or the strength to walk away
The space between us is as boundless as the dark
Won't do no good to throw no fist, babe
You can't intimidate me back into your arms
Oh, Honey (I've gone a-)
Oh, Honey (I've gone away)
Like the carrion of a murdered prey
And all I want is to save you, honey
Or the strength to walk away
Like the carrion of a murdered prey
And all I want is to save you, honey
Or the strength to walk away
