I'm no good, for no one ever
No - I've never read a book
I'm no good, for no one ever
Even now, I know my brain is cooked
I'm no good to these ex-lovers, underneath, once they've had a look
I'm no good to these other foreigners
Always right and always misunderstood
Preparations are due, but I don't have a clue
How to stem the bleeding from the wounds caused by my youth
Yet you said something to me that I think still rings true
I'll take those words with me and die the jester too
I'm no good, for no one ever
No - I've never read a book
I'm no good, for no one ever
Even now, I know my brain is cooked
I'm no good, to these ex-lovers, underneath, once they've had a look
I'm no good to these other foreigners
Always right, and never misunderstood
Preparations are due, but I don't have a clue
How to stop the bleeding from the wounds caused by my youth
Yet you said something to me that I think still rings true
I'll take your words with me and die a martyr too

To know where she goes
When she feels all alone
It torments my soul
To see that she's a whore
And I don't care enough
To save a broken soul
Let alone a teenage girl
Who lives in doubled words
I'm guessing she's their sailor moon
And I the loyal patriarch
Awaiting her revelations soon
That she's missing all my love
Oh God, I can't look
At what she does
To know where she roams
When she feels misunderstood
It tortures my whole
To think that she's no good
For my Roman Catholic pride
Now I see why Jesus died
For sinners like her and I
A prostitute and a bastard who lies
Guessing she's my sailor moon
And I her loyal patriarch
Awaiting her revelations soon
That she's missing all my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh God, I can't look
At what she does, it just hurts me

It's All The Same To Me

It must be hard for you, I know
All those broken words caught in your throat
You tossed your cigarettes, then your weed
Said "It's only you that I need!"
I guess the seasons here never changed
I swear to God, it's all the same to me
It must be hard for you, I'm sure
Sinking feet head first in the snow
The white winter hymnals not enough
To save the seeds that you'd sewn
Last season I'd thought you'd never change
But I'm glad to see that you feel the same

Slowly sifting down to the ground
Spread your arms on my headboard
Why'd you dare leave so soon
I've got some words for you
I want you more than my life itself
But who could want a fool such as myself?
No no no
I cannot let this go
Never always never knowing
Bastions of bastards
Oh how I - hate you in their arms
Lying here in self effacement
I can't help but wonder
Why you came at all?
Were you worried at the time?
No one would ever love you?
So you came into my room
Then left me blind
Did you need a friend?
Just tell me the truth
Were you lonely, oh so lonely
There's something I would like
Oh, never-mind...
Never always never caring
Who you spend your nights with
Guess I - figured we had something more
Swallowed by self-deprecation
I can't help but wonder why you
Stayed so long

Rifling

Gather up the rifles
Then sight in all the targets
We'll put the past behind us
The lord knows we can't stop it
See the years I'm missing
The price of fear for changing
Momma knows I'm losing
But is anybody listening?
Now that I've seen the stars
I see life for what it's worth
Our lives may run ajar
But no more will I let them hurt me
I'll muster up the courage
While you take all the glory
And run up all my credit
Just to sell a different story
Who's that that's come a knockin'?
Must be my fleeting conscience
It's come to say I'm sorry
For leaving me in darkness
Now that I've gone afar
I see your life for what it's worth
Our lives may run ajar
No more will I let it hurt me

Hey now, don't you cry
It's only me and your mind that you're losing
And the time that we've shared
I know the thought to you is unsettling
It didn't last, it never does
It's too much for cowards to bear
The life shared these days is too much
But you and I
Spent those summer nights
Under skies - Undisguised under pink purple hues
You were tired, but I?
Your faithful sire
Tensions roam, I know
You're scared of what I'll do
But the moment you called me a liar
Your arbitration had no use
My God, when will it end?
Has anybody left some common sense?
On this floor, or up above?
At least unlike you, I tried, to leave behind
Some vague ideas of love
And I know this because
The future's here
