Reckless

I hope that you can find a hole in this atmosphere,
Because finding hiding places is plain impossible.
Quiet, please be silent.
If you've got something to say,
Send it mass communication
On the airlines or airwaves.
Seems like you were trying
To knock on every door
Without knowing where they lead
Or what chances you'll succeed.
Leave it if you need it
It will be here for awhile
The worst thing you could do
Is learn to feel it when you smile.
You're getting reckless,
Trading this noose in for a necklace
Put it on in full confidence
That it makes up all the difference.
Silent, please be quiet
I know I told you
Leave it if you need it
But you were never
Silent, please be quiet,
I told you.
Silent, please be quiet,
I know you've got nothing to say.
You took a piece of my life.
Could you leave it on your way
Out of here?
You're getting reckless,
Trading this noose in for a necklace
Put it on in full confidence
That it makes up all the difference.

Brutality

I used to think about you a lot,
But I couldn't let myself love you.
Cause I was afraid
That you wouldn't feel the same.
And when those fears became
Reality,
My heart couldn't take that kind of
Brutality.
I used to talk to you all the time,
Till I wasn't sure if you would answer.
I used to talk to you all the time,
Till I wasn't sure about my chances.
Got this broken glass,
Shattered on the floor.
It's been lying there
Since you opened the door,
And walked into this room.
And you started to bruise
Everything that I want,
Everything that I choose.

In the mailbox, I received
An invitation to a party
In a diamond studded cavern.
On the appointed day,
I showed up ready with a date
And we walked through the rusty gates.
And though excited for the night
We had come without a light
And the tunnel it was so dark.
Well then my date tripped and scraped her knee
So I wondered verbally:
"Are some good times worth these tear lines?"
She was stalwart and we moved on.
Our ears alert, but our vision gone!
We heard laughter hanging in the rafters.
Dim at first, we saw a light.
It caught the textured walls just right.
To us, it felt like dawn was coming.
We walked and walked
Till we arrived
In the diamond room with shining eyes.
Our clothes were torn and we were tired,
But never had we so admired
The faces looking back at us.

On/Off

Turn on a movie, turn off the lights
If the questions are crazy
Then equations aren't right.
Stick together. Hold on tight.
This could be perfect if we talked all night.
Turn off the movie, turn on the lights,
Now that things are boring let's go on a ride.
We both knew it was coming tonight.
Pull together, and hold on tight.
We thought this was perfect,
But it don't feel right.
All of these words that you and I said:
It was a stillborn love,
Get it out of your head.
Leave it alone.
It's not open season,
And you've got no reason to be confused.
There's nothing left here for you.
Leave it alone.

Just Like a Shadow

It's just like a shadow
Is coming round a corner,
And thinking that there's something there
That's more important
Than the monster that is hoping
For another trophy.
Stand here in fear and you'll end up
Just like Sophie,
And disappear.
Decide.
It's never so bad as it was.
It's never gonna be like it was.
You drove up the canyon,
Without even telling.
You were looking for something there,
Maybe just attention...
Well you called me after midnight
I clearly remember the 13th of November,
When you said things would work themselves out
And disappear.
Decide.
It's never so bad as it was.
It's never gonna be like it was.
Down by the lake, it was
No mistake she said.
Outside your social life
You are so unshaken.
You also told me then,
If I am not mistaken,
I was your only light.
You feelin' shaken yet?
You've got to decide.
It's never so bad as it was.
It's never gonna be like it was.
This time there can be no doubt,
You have go to work this out.

This Will

Don't bite a head off a donkey for this,
I believe that we've been in a bigger mess,
Showing true love by changing distance...
The temperature's falling with every moment we kiss.
Drips seep through the cracks,
A flood breaks through a wall.
Don't drop the basket at a time like this,
The things that you're holding are so precious.
We'll hide from the storm, keep each other warm...
We're not coming out till they've knocked on our front door.
Drips seep through the cracks,
A flood breaks through a wall.
Run through the door,
The siren's calling us home.
Hold me tight, don't let go,
We're both going to grow old.
This will only make us stronger.
Quit holding your breath cause we're finally safe,
Our lives were spared even with our mistake,
Open the basket and there's our reward,
A picnic for two just like we had planned.
