A shadow in the night,
Poseidon’s on the water.
Don’t know exactly what I’ll sacrifice To get just what I want.
Why does nobody save me? Bring me a cure; hypnotize me? The sirens call me away,
I give in.
Starry-eyed but my soul was tied.
Down, I’m falling deep into slumber.
Now the siren song will haunt me forever after.
Tranquilize.
Oh you tranquilize me.
The circle dilates in the hollow, hollow, hollow of your eyes; The circle dilates and I wallow, wallow, wallow in the light.
Why does nobody save me? Bring me a cure; hypnotize me? The sirens call me away,
I give in.
Starry-eyed but my soul was tied. Down, I’m falling deep into slumber.
Now the siren song will haunt me forever after.
Pacify and satisfy me.
I raise my white flag,
I’m never going back to the world.
Pull me under till I drown in the depths of you.
Starry-eyed but my soul was tied.
Down, I’m falling deep into slumber.
Now the siren song will haunt me forever after.

Lost Highway

I drive the lost highway;
My headlights casting shadows on the hollow road.
Flickers in the mirror;
I’m haunted by the spectre of a promise I broke.
Oh it’s making me shiver,
I never should’ve listened to the whispers of snakes.
I’m a cold-hearted-killer,
Running from the memories I cannot escape.
Time was slipping through my hands;
All the grains of falling sand.
Time was slipping through my hands
When I killed you.
I drive the lost highway;
My headlights casting shadows on the hollow road.
I sing in the choir on Sunday mornings
to remind me that my God is my hope.
Oh I walk on a tightrope
Between the girl I am and who I think I should be.
After everything I’ve done,
Does heaven have a room or is there no vacancy?
Time was slipping through my hands;
All the grains of falling sand.
Time was slipping through my hands
When I killed you.
After everything I’ve done,
Does heaven have a room or is there no vacancy?
Time was slipping through my hands;
All the grains of falling sand.
Time was slipping through my hands
When I killed you.

Blue Valentine
A love you cannot find
when all the flowers turn to dust before your eyes
Blue Valentine
Were you crying all the time?
When all the glitter turns to ashes in the light
Replay the vows and all the words that we spoke
In the cinema inside my mind
Intoxicated with the trouble I wrote
All the heartache that I leave behind
All these little lies and silly games
It’s all the same to me
And how I idolize the empty highs
I try to run
I try to hide
But everytime it takes me over
Blue Valentine
A love you cannot find
when all the flowers turn to dust before your eyes
Blue Valentine
Were you crying all the time?
When all the glitter turns to ashes in the light
I thought I saw it in the trick of the light
Striking matches just to feel the spark
Flames burn a moment all alone in the dark
In the prison of my aching heart
All these little lies and silly games
It’s all the same to me
And how I idolize the empty highs
Blue Valentine
A love you cannot find
When all the flowers turn to dust before your eyes
Blue Valentine
Were you crying all the time?
when all the glitter turns to ashes in the light
I try to run
I try to hide
I try to run
I try to hide
I try to run
I try to hide
But everytime it takes me over

Bones

They call me fanatic They call me absurd The people are plastic Out there in the world
I live in asylums, I’m caught in a trap Won’t you free me from my bones?
I’m melodramatic, how lucky is that?
Kill me softly, make me scream Call me crazy, set me free Everything I want to be
Kill me softly, make me scream Call me crazy, set me free Everything I’ll ever need
Say you'll die for me
I was dreaming of blue skies in California While you were loading your gun
The time has come
Red and blue lights chase us across the border Forever out on the run
I was dreaming of blue skies in California While you were loading your gun
Screaming run, baby, run We have to go on
Our escape is only seconds away
They call me erratic They call me disturbed A love that is tragic For better or worse
I live in the violence, I’m caught in a trap Won't you free me from my bones?
I live in a panic, I'm happy with that
I was dreaming of blue skies in California While you were loading your gun
The time has come
Red and blue lights chase us across the border Forever out on the run
I was dreaming of blue skies in California While you were loading your gun
Screaming run, baby, run
We have to go on
Our escape is only seconds away
Kill me softly, make me scream Call me crazy, set me free Everything I want to be
Kill me softly, make me scream Call me crazy, set me free Everything I’ll ever need
Say you'll die for me
I was dreaming of blue skies in California While you were loading your gun
The time has come
Red and blue lights chase us across the border Forever out on the run
I was dreaming of blue skies in California While you were loading your gun
Screaming run, baby, run
We have to go on
Our escape is only seconds away

I could be your pillow
I could be your friend
I could be the laughter that you want to feel again
I could be your humour
Help re-write your fear
I could be the poetry you never thought you’d hear
Oh is there time?
Could I be what you desire?
Pray for a sign
Is it written in the sky?
oh my baby’s got the blues
tortured and consumed
with nothing left to lose
but i could be your comedian
Throw the curtains open wide
The shadows run and hide
The stage is shining bright
Let me be your comedian
I could be your potion
I could be your cure
I could be the sunlight spilling underneath your door
And when your world is tragic
Well I could be your fool
I could be the punchline and survive the ridicule when the curtain falls.
Oh is there time?
Could I be what you desire?
Pray for a sign
Is it written in the sky?
oh my baby’s got the blues
tortured and consumed
with nothing left to lose
but i could be your comedian
Throw the curtains open wide
The shadows run and hide
The stage is shining bright
Let me be your comedian

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche.
