I Don't Want To Go

if I'm not home, if I'm not there to kiss you
just lay your precious body down and wear your pillow like a crown

if I'm not there to hold you, if I'm not there to tell you why
asleep so soft and delicate, whisper the sweetest epithet
remember, I don't want to go

if I can't seem to find you, if I can't be beside you now
just wrap your hair around the moon and know that I'll be coming soon

if I could be forgiven, inside the twinkle of an eye
I'd walk your terrors to the park, console your sad and sorry heart
remember, I don't want to go

...we will not be sleeping
called to heaven with a shout
the kings and queens are dreaming
i can only hope to tell you why

Lover's Chords

i swore an oath i would conceal my inner calling,
but these are lover's chords

this quickened pace, it knows my name, knows where i'm going
and i can feel your arms around me
sleeping in my bed

bury my blood/bury my heart
my tell-tale heart it will explode

i heard a heartbeat in a wall, a deathwatch beetle
singing a clicking song

oh hopeless night with vulture eyes and the hour of the slowest clock
is the tempo of salvation
it never ends

bury my blood/bury my heart
my tell-tale heart it will explode

Wisdom Teeth

there's a little man inside my mouth
everything he says plays in a loop

he told me how to set my mind
he says everything is gonna to be alright

he told me everything I ever wanted to know
what did he say, what did he say, what did he say?

I wasn't paying attention

then I found out that you were gone
so I sat down at the Devil's table
He told me wise, yeah he told me twice
everything that the Devil knows

come swim with me inside a dream
wrap me up and take me home
lay me out, on the couch
maybe now that's all I'm good for

now the little man inside my mouth
says he's come back to save the world
but not without you
not without you
