1. The Tremelo Song
Cut myself because I can't see the beauty
Feel myself because I can't see the light
Tell myself that I do not deserve this
Tell myself that I do not deserve this
I'm just a simple man
but I'm just a simple man
Tell myself the bad things are safe
In a place where they will do no harm
It's easier to see when I open my eyes
That all the bad things that all the bad things are
In my mind but I'm just a simple man I'm just a simple man
2. Mama
Daddy said boy it's a long way down
as he took his hand and knocked me to the ground
Daddy said faggot fight like a man
I wish I had a gun I wish I had a gun
Mama
3. Alone
The trees are bare and the sky is grey
Like veins in the side of a mountain
And I sit in the company of kings that speak of their riches freely
and I sit in the company of kings that speak of their riches freely
I stare out the window when it's cold
I think god I must be getting old
I look at the walls while I'm counting the stars
Every wish has a name
I just wish I knew what they were
and there's a girl outside that says you'll never understand
so don't even try
4. In Bad Dreams
When you sleep
do you see an angel
in dying light
Or can you see someone standing outside
trying to set you alight
Or maybe you've seen someone somewhere
before
that I might have loved
if i'd never loved you
but you only see me
in bad dreams
5. Painless
There's a shadow on my wall that tells me the time
It says you're always late and you can't miss this train
Well I open my mouth but I hear no sound
And you said life could be painless
And I'm sorry but that's not what I've found
And she said life could be painless
And she said life could be painless
I'm sorry but that's not what I've found
I open my mouth but you hear no sound
And you said life could be painless
And I'm sorry but that's not what I've found
You said life could be painless
I'm sorry but that's not what I've found
6. The Love Song
Head bowed my body aches but I am ageless
Head bowed my body aches but I am ageless
And yet it seems so far away
And yet it seems so far away
I measure my steps
I measure my steps carefully
I measure my steps carefully
When there's ice on the street
And yet it seems so far away
And yet it seems so far away
7. The Life Song
All of my life spent trying to deny these things inside
And if I should doubt you
And if I should doubt you
Just give that doubt time
All of my life spent trying to deny these things inside
And if I should doubt you
Just give that doubt time
and what do you see
and what do you see
my love
and what do you see
when you look on the inside
my love
8. The Devil Song
Lights on the hill
remind me of speeding trains
and hands on the window
remind me that children play reflections on the water
Say to me you can live forever
But devil stay away from me
But devil stay away from me
And she said can't you see everything has it's place
and here we are
and she said can't you see
that somethings were never meant to change
but here we are
9. The Hunter
All things will eventually die
And a true hunter weeps at a merciless killing
But someone will always hurt you
But someone will always hurt you
You're selfish and you're conceited
And the world's at your feet
But because of your beauty gestures are shallow
Your gestures are shallow
Oh what do you do when you feel like you're living a lie
Oh what do you do when you feel you're living a lie
10. Evol
11. The Train Song
Met a girl in the rain
waiting for a train
I said I missed my plane
She said I guess you'll have to stay with me
Do you live far away
Sometimes it's hard to say
She said look it's starting to snow
and god I want to go where the sun goes
where the sun goes
But she's so cold
she's so cold
12. The Flower Song
I wish I could fly
I wish I could die
I wish I was the cross in Othello's eye
I wish I was a stone in those castle walls
so I could be a thousand years old and a hundred feet tall
I wish I could fly
I wish I could fly
I wish I could fly
and I wish I could die
I wish I was the cross in Othello's eye
I wish I could fly
I wish I could fly
I wish I was a flower blowin' in the wind
so I could fly away but come back again and again
Or will I always be alone standing staring at the sky
Or will I learn to fly
Or will I learn to fly
13. Boy By The Roadside
There's a place I go
to make fires burning spices
On the 805 they found a boy
dead by the roadside
hanging naked
but satisfied
There's a place I go where no one knows
And it's not far away
And if you should see me with my face
up against the wall
Well don't stop to talk
Don't stop to talk
But who knows that goes on up there
But who knows what goes on up there
There's a place I go where no one knows
And it's not far away
And if you should see me with my face
up against the wall
Well don't stop to talk
Don't stop to talk
All I am is all I am
well
all I am is all I am
14. The Sunday Song
