This Album is Genius.
I know I keep going on and on about this cd....BUT I CAN'T HELP IT! It's that good!!!
These are two of my faves...
I used to be such a burning example
I used to be so original
I used to care, I was being careful
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
Well, take me out tonight
The ship of fools I'm on will sink
A millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
I used to pray a God was listening
I used to make my parents proud
I was the glue that kept my friends together
Now they don't talk and we don't go out
I used to know the name of every person I kissed
Now I made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it
Take me out tonight
The ship of fools I'm on will sink
A millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
Throw me that lifeline
The ship of fools I'm on will sink
A millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
Never hit the brakes
there's no time to save him
He's run out in the street
anybody know his name?
I think I recognize him
Sure it's him?
So take me out tonight
The ship of fools I'm on will sink
A millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
To save my life tonight
The ship of fools I'm on will sink
A Millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give....
Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face
The kind you'd find on someone I could save
If they don't put me away
Well, it'll be a miracle
Do you believe you're missing out
That everything good is happening somewhere else?
But with nobody in your bed
The night's hard to get through
And I will die all alone
And when I arrive I won't know anyone
Well Jesus Christ, I'm alone again
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
Cause this problem's gonna last more than the weekend
Well Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die,
I'm a little bit scared of what comes after
Do I get the gold chariot?
Do I float through the ceiling?
Do I divide and fall apart?
Cause my pride is too sly to hold back all my dark
And the ship went down in sight of land
And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands
I know you'll come in the night like a thief
But I've had some time alone to hold my lies inside me
I know you think that I'm someone you can trust
But I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail you back up
So do you think that we could work out a sign
So I'll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try
I know you'll come for the people like me
But we all got wood and nails
Tongue tied to a hating factory
But we all got wood and nails
Your tortured (and hanging) factory
Yeah, we all got wood and nails
Your tortured (and hanging) factory
Yeah, we all got wood and nails
And we sleep inside of this machine....
