in this room

Inside this room, all of my dreams become realities, and some of my realities become dreams.

In this room my toes stick into the cockpit
Oh we've a super-intense unconsciousness

Then I knocked myself down to
Creepy ideas of circus clowns and gowns
A switch in my head flicks on to 1

And I think of the song
That trips my mind
To dream of things that mean to
Fade away and should rest
If I just let go
And let this city rule my dreams
And let this city rule my dreams

astronaut at sea

In dreams of you
I fell to earth
In dreams of you
I fell to earth

In dreams of you
I fell

American girl
Send me out to sea
Where the waves rumble
And the soul is free
I once was found
And now I'm lost
Out in the blue
Where lost love's tossed
But it ain't like Hemingway
I never liked him anyway
And I would've died for certain
And they were just about to close the big curtain
But just on the sun-bred skyline
I saw there the most saintly eyes
In all the heavens that I call home
In all the heavens I am alone
In all the heavens that I call home
American girl I am alone
Where the waves rumble
And the soul is free
American girl
Send me out to sea

It's been a long time
Too long to count
So put me on a ship
And send me on home
Space is so large
Too large for my heart
So put me on a boat
And take me all the way home
The sea is so deep
Too deep for me
Well put me on a ship
And bring me back home

he hates me, she hates me

I've hoped for something more
But somehow I got short
Love is a game we play
Until you have to pay

Love more come to me
I will not believe
That she cares for me
There's too much she will never see

It's all so innocent
Till one of us gets hurt
Loneliness can't compete
Till one of us will surely cheat
[KABOOM]
Cheat
Cheat

the fish said hello

Open from the light
Got started at the end
Stop dying, your heart is still
Beating strong
I fell off the bridge
An angel pushed me
The water was warm
And the fish said hello
My mind filled
With the water
I saw an old coral
Perfect stop sign
And a treasure chest
It was empty
So I got in it
I shut the lid
And it invited in the sand
But the sand hurt my eyes
And it was no surprise
Since I was just
Thirty seconds away
From my fate

no response, shoo fly

Beautiful day
Perfect sky
All around me
All around

Beautiful night
Starry sky
All around me
Big surprise

I am calling for my friend
I cannot hear a response

Winter sights
Sparkling white
Everywhere
Krys' nearby

Silhouettes
Pale and ghostly
Dancing around
Might need your light

I am calling for my friend
I cannot hear a response

Morning awakes
Dock the dreams
Finally awake
Into the sun

Looking around
I'm not alone
Lucky day
Happy day

I'm not calling for my friend
I can now hear a response

Shoo flies
Flying higher than the stars
On a foggy night

Catch them all
Hold them in your hands
Throw them in the past

Running high
Always catching a ride

This is the future
And what happens do I cry

bony legs that talk

I am not crippled
I've got bony legs that talk
They walk through blue-grey streets
Perform great feats
And abide every pratfall

And these lungs bruise just like a thousand shoes do
It's true we breathe apologies to please them all

What lies in store
A meteor a falling star
That's circular
And in the end is similar

I am not crippled
I've got bony legs that talk
They walk through blue-grey streets
Perform great feats
And abide every pratfall

last day of may

It was the last day of may in ninety-eight
And you accompanied me to

We had been something like friends

We had a few hits and misses
Mostly misses

When I thought it was the last chance I'd ever have
I finally kissed you

(...)
There was something
Like heaven and hell

One of them's still in you
You told me that you loved me

I didn't believe you then
I still don't
Wish I could
I wish I could

I never meant to break your heart
Didn't want to break your heart

I know you cared for me
And I wish I could've felt the same
Wish I could've felt the same

Maybe some day I'll understand it all myself
But until then
I hope the words "I'm sorry"
Can finally carry conviction

i feel

I feel
I
I

elfin princess

Golden bow
And silver hair
And she won't find
The sun in there

Clad in greens
And plates of mail
She fights with string
But she's in hell

Darkness comes
She's all alone
Her magic's gone
Where will she go

Up to the clouds
And feathers strong

christopher robin

Christopher Robin
Came to my room
He had a message
Bout that night in June

He spoke of Mary
And how she died
He was to say
There was no surprise

She killed herself
With a broken knife

fireflies

It's getting sent tonight
I sleep by you, glowing
