Cast the pearls aside, of a simple life of need

Come into my life forever

The crumbled cities stand as known

Of the sights you have been shown 

Of the hurt you call your own

Love is suicide 

The empty bodies stand at rest

Casualties of their own flesh

Afflicted by their dispossession 

But no bodies ever knew nobodies

No bodies felt like you

Love is suicide 

deny, decide, destroy, disobey, disguise

Now we drive the night, to the ironies of peace

You can't help deny forever

The tragedies reside in you

The secret sights hide in you

The lonely nights divide you in two

All my blisters now revealed 

In the darkness of my dreams

In the spaces between us

But no bodies ever knew nobodies

No bodies felt like you 

I've begun to lose track of the outside world, when I'm with you

In My Life

There are places I'll remember

All my life though some have changed,

Some forever, not for better

Some have gone and some remain.

All these places have their moments

With lovers and friends, I still can recall

Some are dead and some are living

In my life, I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers,

There is no one compares with you.

And these memories lose their meaning,

When I think of love as something new.

Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before,

I know I'll often stop and think about them

In my life, I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before,

I know I'll often stop and think about them

In my life, I love you more

In my life, I love you more

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars"

Subtleties

Three white cars passed by.

I could see the clouds in 

their windshields.

Three white stars in a twilight sky.

And now that the clouds are

gone, I see, one more

that catches my

eye.

I see, into the heart of the sky, I see,

Something I tasted long ago that

was coming back to me.

Come Back.

I remember you reminded me of the subtleties.

The little things that make your day.

And the rain moves on,

As the tide rolls in.

In just a few days I'll still be here, 

But you will be far, far away.

So one last time I 

hold you near.

And save the hero for another day.

I remember you reminded me of the subtleties.

The little things that make your day.

And the rain  moves on,

As the tide moves in.

And the distance between us wouldn't seem so long

If we knew that one of those birds still left up in

the sky gave a cry as he witnessed one of those

moments that you and I both look at the

stars in the twilight sky.

And count,

One,

Two,

Three.

I remember you reminded me of the subtleties.

The little things that make your day.

And the rain moves on,

As the tide moves in.

"Today, you are you. That is truer than true. There is no one alive, more youer than you"

One

Is it getting better?

Or do you feel the same?

Will it make it easier on you,

Now you've got someone to blame?

One love

One life

When it's one need,

In the night.

One love

We get to s h a r e it

It leaves you, baby

If you don't care for it

Did I disappoint you?

Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?

You act like you never had love,

Now you want me to go without

Well it's, 

Too late, 

Tonight.

To drag the past out into the light

We're one,

But we're not the same

We get to 

Carry each other.

One

Have you come here for forgiveness?

Have you come to raise the dead?

Have you come here to play Jesus

To the lepers in your head?

Did I ask too much?

More than a lot?

You gave me nothing,

Now it's all I got.

We're one,

But we're not the same

Well we

Hurt each other

Then we do it again

You say

Love is a temple,

Love is a higher law.

You ask me to enter

But then you make me crawl

And I can't keep holding on

To what you got,

When all you got is hurt.

One love

One blood

One life
