WHEN YOU DON'T SEE ME

When you don't see me...
It's not a matter of going to grow
It's not a matter of time or how I feel
I'm throwing off the shadow of a better man now
What you see is what you never had
Get real
Get another
I don't exist when you don't see me
I don't exist when you're not here
What the eye don't see won't break the heart
You can make believe when we're apart
But when you leave I disappear
When you don't see me...
Oh, it's kind of different when your there
You can lease the peace of mind
You bought a mask, I put it on
You never thought to ask me
If I wear it when you're gone
Get real
Get another
I don't exist when you don't see me
I don't exist when you're not here
What the eye don't see won't break the heart
You can make believe when we're apart
But when you leave I disappear
When you don't see me...
You never learned
You bought me
Everything and less
I turned
You couldn't let me move
I guess, I don't deny, it don't disprove
What you see is what you lost
If I were you I wouldn't try
Get real
Get another
I don't exist when you don't see me
I don't exist when you're not here
What the eye don't see won't break the heart
You can make believe when we're apart
But when you leave I disappear
When you don't see me...

POSSESSION

Carrion child,
Prey for me,play your
Wild card, see the house come down around your
Head, home to me, so much dreaming
Some say I'm growing cold and
Taking over
Nothing, cuts, two ways.....
Possession: taking over
Stand these pictures on your shelf
And wear your heart upon my sleeve,
Wear a dress that you can see through,
See yourself inside;
I'll be your imagination,
Tear apart what you believe,
Make a mess of your conviction,
Take away my pride and leave,
Nothing, but the debris,
Cuts, two ways,
Carrion child,
Prey for me, play your
Wild card, see the house come down around your
Possession: taking over.....
Possession: shake shake shake shake shake shake;
Possession: taking over.....
Somehow the fact takes over, and the fiction coming through,
Somehow I do my crying breaking down for you,
This way doubt takes over, contradiction coming through,
This way I do my lying, making up and making out for you.....
Possession: taking over
Child (nothing)
Prey for me (but the debris)
Play your wild card (cuts two ways)
Some say I'm growing cold and
Taking over.....Down around your
Head (nothing)
Home to me (but the debris)
So much dreaming, see the house come down around your
Possession: shake shake shake shake shake shake shake
Possession: taking over.....
Possession: shake shake shake shake shake shake shake
Possession: taking hold

Will I Dream?

Something will happen here
I can feel it
on the howling edge of pink and white and blue
something, right here
I can feel it
and now it's just too real to
still believe in you

and will I ...dream?
when it's over will I dream?

when it's over will I?
when it's happened will I?
when it's over will I dream?

something is happening here
I can feel it
on the howling edge of pink and white and baby -
will I ...dream?
when it's over will I dream?

when it's over will I?
when it's happened will I?
when it's over will I dream?

something has happened here
I can feel it
on the howling edge of pink and white and steely blue
something, right here
I can feel it
and now it's just too real
to will belief in you

and will I ...dream?
when it's over will I dream?

when it's over will I?
when it's happened will I?
when it's over will I dream?

Ribbons

I'm lying on my back now
the stars look all too near
flowers on the razor wire
I know you're here
we are few
and far between
I was thinking about her skin
love is a many splintered thing
don't be afraid now
just walk on in
(flowers on the razor wire)
(walk on in)

her eyes were cobalt red
her voice was cobalt blue
I see no purple light
crashing out of you
so just walk on in

her lovers queued up in the hallway
I heard them scratching at the door
I tried to tell her
about Marx and Engels, God and angels
I don't really know what for
but she looked good in ribbons
so just walk on in
she looked good in ribbons
so just walk on in

tie a red red red red red red red red ribbon
love
is a many splintered thing
tie a red red red red ribbon
don't be afraid
just walk on in

Flood I

and her hallway
moves
like the ocean
moves

at the head of the river
at the source of the sea

sitting here now in this bar for hours
trying to write it down
fitting in hard with harder to come
trying to fight it
down the river there's a ship will carry you
down river down stream
down the river there's a ship will carry the
dream
dream of the flood
down the river there's a ship will carry the
dream of the flood

and her hallway...

as the water come rushing over
as the water come rushing in
as the water come rushing over
flood... flood...

push the glass, stain the glass
push the writer to the wall
it may come but it will pass
some say we will fall
dream of the flood...
flood...

and her hallway...

oh, maybe, in terms of surrender
on a backcloth of lashes and eyes
in a flood of your tears, in sackcloth
and ashes and ashes and ashes and ashes
and ashes and ashes and lies

and her hallway...
like...
as the water come rushing in
as the water come rushing over

sitting here now in this bar for hours
while these strange men rent strange flowers
I'll be picking up your petals in another few hours
in the metal and blood, in the scent and mascara
on a backcloth of lashes and stars
in a flood of your tears, in sackcloth
and ashes and ashes and secondhand passion
and stolen guitars

and her hallway
as the water come rushing in
like the sea
as the water come rushing over
dream of the flood
in a flood of your tears, in sackcloth
and ashes and ashes
and ashes and ashes
and ashes and ashes
and ashes and ashes and lies...

as the water come rushing in, rushing in

at the head of the river
at the source of the sea

and her hallway...
like...

flood...

We Are the Same,Susanne

Counting the days in the haze around you
Susanne on the wall

no pain, summer rain
I'm lost for stupid again
we are the same
give it a name Susanne

counting the days in the haze around you
Susanne let the ether fall
out of phase, I am all around you
Susanne on the wall

no pain, summer rain
I'm lost for stupid again
we are the same
give it a name Susanne

Flood II

and her hallway
moves
like the ocean
moves
and her hallway
moves
like the sea

she says no no no no harm will come your way
she says bring it on down, bring on the wave
she says nobody done no harm
grace of God and raise your arms
she says: face it and it's a place to stay

this, this is the way it was
this, this is the way it is
when the water come rushing, rushing in

she says
she says anytime
raise your arms
flood...

and her hallway
like...
like...

like a million voices call my name
like a million voices calling
not now, not never again
sitting here now in this bar for hours
strange men rent strange flowers
seconds to the drop but it feels like hours
and I think I'm going to, going to...
