Ask Me Why

there you tried to put your words into my mouth
do I have to write it down?
I speak for myself
there you tried to slip your thoughts into my head
do I have to speak aloud?
I think for myself
rise up against the minds that raised us
they come between us
put away your pride
when we are mad it isn't madness
it's not hysteria
listen as we cry we claim our lives
they're something worth fighting for
so when I'm angry will you look to the side and pass me by
or when I'm angry will you look into my eyes and ask me why
there you tried to move the players in my game
do i have to write it down?
I lead on my own
there you tried to keep me trapped inside your mind
do I have to speak aloud?
I live for myself
rise up against the minds that raised us
they come between us
put away your pride
when we are mad it isn't madness
it's not hysteria
listen as we cry we claim our lives
they're something worth fighting for
so when I'm angry will you look to the side and pass me by
or when I'm angry will you look into my eyes and ask me why
will you look into my eyes and ask me why
will you look into my eyes and ask me why

Cotton and Silk

snow falls in the summer
cotton and silk
drifts in candescent days
honey and milk
light above the water
willow and stone
late the day is fading
blood and bone
to be alone
when the sun is setting
time and again
will you take what I've offered to you
or take the salt from my skin
you'll taste the blood on my lips
white sky in the morning
lilac and gin
please won't you let me go
teeth and skin
I let you in
when the sun was setting
time and again
will you take what I've offered to you
or take the salt from my skin
you'll taste the blood on my lips
trust me the walls aren't higher
you're safe the ropes aren't tighter
I can't help trusting your voice
you wouldn't lie to me
when the sun is setting
time and again
will you take what I've offered to you
or take the salt from my skin
you'll taste the blood on my lips

It's More Than This

is the end all you can remember
that final act that brought you down
when the players took their places
and you outplayed them all
it's more than this dear
though you've caught me at a bad time
waiting for someone to remind me what to live is
but it's more than this that makes the difference after all
did you know the girl sleeping beside you
or was she only in your dreams
if a year had only been a day
would you feel the same
it's more than this dear
though you've caught me at a bad time
waiting for someone to remind me what to live is
but it's more than this that makes the difference after all
your words fell on me like drops of ink
a stain upon my hands
that tears and rain can't wash away
why is now the time you fight?
it's more than this dear
though you've caught me at a bad time
waiting for someone to remind me what to live is
but it's more than this that makes the difference after all
after all it's more than this that makes
it's this that makes the difference after all

I Never Knew

open the window feel the breeze that's coming through
I waited for you
I slept by the window looking out into the street
and I waited for you
I waited for you
you came in the deep of the night
in a place unfamiliar and strange
I waited for you in the sun that time
but it couldn't be then
I know I know
it's there in the sunlight on the wall
entwined in the quiet of the night
I know it was right here all along
in the end you proved they were wrong
a walk in the moonlight tell me what is on your mind
I never knew
a dance in the nighttime won't you tell me now
I never knew oh I never knew
you came in the deep of the night
in a place unfamiliar and strange
I waited for you in the sun that time
but it couldn't be then
it couldn't be then
you came in the deep of the night
in a place unfamiliar and strange
I waited for you in the sun that time
but it couldn't be then
I know I know
it's there in the sunlight on the wall
entwined in the quiet of the night
I know it was right here all along
in the end you proved they were wrong
