SOME KIND OF CHAMPION
SOME KIND OF CHAMPION
i have seen it all
there is not much left
and i haven’t learned nothin yet whoa o o o o o
that’s how it goes
oh night time when outside meets outside
some things should never be let inside
only a brave child would run through the forest at night only a stupid child would be brave
i am not afraid
i have a second skin
i don’t know
if it keeps me out or keeps me in
keeps me in
i am not tough
my skin is thin
but i guess i fake it well cause i keep gettin punched like i’m some kind of champion champion
oh and i’m just disappearing before your eyes
lies lies lies lies lies
your not very wise
only a brave man would eat his cake in the open wide you think i’d let you have it too
stupid you
oh and i’m just disappearing before your eyes lies lies lies lies lies
you’re not very wise
oh amazing all your tales of a heroic life
oh I took it all as true
what a fool
DIAMOND OF THE TRUEST KIND
i know you better than
you know yourself i am your friend
i’m made of sea and salt like you are
i see your canvas glow
stretched in color bathed in code
we are made of everything we love
alone now or forever i don’t worry bout that
the moments of telepathy when you’re hurting so am i
through all the heartache you taught me everything
the more it grows the gain
a compass and a safe
mirror and a base
you know me better than
i know myself you are my friend
you help me see the things i cannot
(never let em see you never fake it never know it diamond of the truest kind)
remember you decide which words to let inside and keep
he’s pouring out his poison and you know it’s nothing to believe
and all the heartache it taught us everything
the more we grow we gain
a compass and a safe
mirror and a base
la la la la la la ooooh…
alone now or forever i don’t worry bout that
remember in the moments that you’re hurting so am i
and all the heartache it taught me everything
the more we grow we gain
a compass and a safe
mirror and a base
(and you’ll never never never never know)
ONE IN THE MORNING
trouble
my heart is blacker than blue
and i’m still following you
trouble
i loved your beautiful face
not the one that hurt me
there were many
one in the morning
one for the daytime
one in the evening
another at night
i can’t hush the wind
i can’t calm the sea
and i can’t force the ones who don’t to love me
i go where i’m wanted
and i know when to leave
i see the signs and i am on it
and in the morning right where i should be
trouble
i went right out of my mind
and i did things you don’t need to know about
maybe you helped me
maybe you scared me
i’m not afraid of
anything else
i can’t hush the wind
i can’t calm the sea
i don’t wanna fight the world around me
i go where i’m wanted
and i know when to leave
i see the signs and i am on it
and in the morning right where i should be
trouble
my heart is blacker than blue
and i’m still following you
THE SHARPEST KNIFE
you don’t know me and
you don’t get to
i really believed that i loved you you don’t know me and
you don’t get to cause
well it wasn’t a love that was meant to be
dark curls
made me
and nnnnn no i never never meant to
and no nnnnnnnn never m m meant to oh
why do always seasons come
and why do they never wait til i’m done and why do i pick the same man
over and over and over again
you don’t know me and
you don’t get to
you were never even close
with your heart more sharp than any knife and i’m too heavy and i’m too light
and nothing that i do is right and i hope i never see you again
you were never my friend you were never my friend
you don’t know me and you don’t get to and
you were never my friend
you don’t know me and you don’t get to
you were never my friend
RAIN UP
you finally climbed the mountain and now you have to guard it
love is highly unlikely
so far from where you started
rain up
rain up
there’s a light in the dirt
rain up
rain up
just as if the ground itself was crying
you figured out the subtext and now you’re left to fight it evading all the doubtful
who tell you that you caused it rain up
rain up
there’s a light in the dirt
rain up
rain up
all the other water trickles down
rain up
rain up
all the water up from troubled ground rain up rain up
that’s the day my love will come around
you’ve given up the mountain
and now to let the guard down
just open up the fountain
let the water rise up from the ground
rain up
rain up
all the other water trickles down
rain up
rain up
all the water up from troubled ground rain up rain up
that’s the day my love will come around
rain up
rain up
right into my arms
TRAINS
never as good
as you thought it would be
when you get there
see it like a newborn sees
when you get there
love’s a train but i know better
goin faster i know better
i can’t catch it i’ll do better
jumped off twice
jumped off
everybody already on it and passing me right by
i was so rough i just kept jumping off
couldn’t be tied
i see the grass as tall as my hips
i can see you pressed up right to my lips
i can see an ocean and a forest of trees where i’m standing
love’s a train but i know better
goin faster i know better
i can’t catch it i’ll do better
jumped off twice
jumped off
love’s a train but i know better
goin fast but i know better
i can’t catch it i’ll do better
jumped off twice
jumped off
i chose every moment
but the path has chosen me
i don’t want to tire of anyone
or anyone to tire of me
i chose every moment
but the path has chosen me
i don’t want to tire of anyone
or anyone to tire of me
never as good as you thought it would be
when you’d get there…
SUNMORE
this is your awakening and mine
lay your tired and weary head that i would carry it
give and give until there’s none it leaves a bitter taste
what i can’t see is the way that i appear to them
i am waving from the inside as i run away
don’t know how i ended up inside a speeding train
giant aching in my side it never goes away
i just pretend that everything’s ok and close my eyes again
what have i turned into
things i can’t live up to
i am simple as the sun can give me what i need
i like the rain but it’s the rain that fucks with me
every time the sun comes out i am alive again
i wanna run right through the rays and let it burn my skin
giant aching in my side it never goes away
i just pretend that everything’s ok and close my eyes again
what have i turned into
things i can’t live up to
what have i turned into
things i can’t live up to
it is all the ghosts that fall away
millions of hearts that were left to scatter
and they never know our night from day
in all the molten light ahhh
i am waving from the inside as i run away
can’t remember why i’m running in the first place
what have i turned into
things i can’t live up to
SORROW INTO STONE
turn yourself to face the sun
shadows fall behind you
and no one is immune to it
give in and let it blind you
i am my own
turning sorrow into stone
turning hunger into fire
give me love or give me hope
i’m just waiting on a sign
i feel like i am being watched
i thought it was someone
but it was just the clock
i am my own
turning sorrow into stone
turning hunger into fire
give me love or give me hope
i’m just waiting on a sign
muddle your way to lie down
oh oh
ameliorating light is shining down on you
i can only carry it so far
i can only carry it so far
turn yourself to face the sun
shadows fall behind you
and you are not immune to it
turn your sorrow into stone
turn your hunger into fire
give me love or give me hope
i’m just waiting on a sign
WILLOW OF THE MORNING
listening i can almost hear the rain
coming down
each drop making a connection
we live lonely lives
inside
our screens making a connection
willow of the morning light
made a wish and you gave it life
(no need to run they cannot see you)
we live lonely lives
our hearts radio beaming up to find
a blaze a flare a light
of another heart radio
and a signal fire
willow of the morning light
made a wish and you gave it life
(no need to run they cannot see you)
free them
cause you love them
i can’t even begin
all it takes
is one love to change your fate
willow of the morning light
made a wish and you gave it life
free them
[warriors]
cause you love them
[barriers]
i can’t even begin
[don’t follow]
[show your strength]
all
[fallen down]
it takes
[getting up]
is one love to change your fate
[i can never have enough]
strangers
[warriors]
who see my sorrow
[barriers]
like they know me better than you know
[don’t follow]
[show your strength]
i cannot
[fallen down]
be trusted with you
[getting up]
i never know
what i will do
i never know what i will do
i never know what i will do
THE DARK
i look better in the dark when you can’t see me
i look better in the dark when you can’t see me
close your eyes, don’t look at me
i’m not the girl i wanna be
i’m just a thought, i used to be
perfect til you looked at me
go away, don’t look at me
i’m just a thought, a memory
all i have, i keep inside
and you might miss it in the light
i look better in the dark when you can’t see me
i look better in the dark when you can’t see me
and you said “baby, why are you laughing?
you’re always laughing, oh how sad”
“baby, what are you hiding, behind the laughing”
oh i see now...
i look better in the dark when you can hear me
howl.... ooooh ooooh
i look better in the dark
