I will not put your image on a temple Or make it grace the inside of a dome But I have carved out a sculpture in you It sort of looks like home I've made drapery out of sheets from my bed And we can ignore The pounding in my head There is movement in sculpture And my love I intend to move with you Lying on my back for hours isn't hard As long as I'm seeing you And adding color is not a problem Seeing your skin turn pink red and blue You are my masterpiece And the only thing I want to see God, I fucking hate painting But god, I love you God, I love you

We only speak of it behind iron curtains And whisper of it, in dark halls How when I saw you I fell for you, like the Berlin Wall (I fell for you, like the Berlin Wall x2) The fair weather's gone We'll freeze when winter comes But we were more than comrades When all is said and done Now let's slash and burn it When they come looking All the mem'ries that hurt us Never to be found Cut them down Light them up Just the ashes Of our love Slash and burn Slash and burn

Built a home for us to live Out of cardboard, and bottles of gin Pretty weak foundations But it's got a good location Location, location Built a place for us to sing A cathedral where our voices ring Vaulted ceilings, crystal floors But I forgot to build a door Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave My hands are tired I've been building for so long It's time to retire Let the buildings dissolve, Dissolve The cardboard will break down And the rain, will take the gin to drown Our cathedral has gone silent Broken by the weather's violence All gone, all gone, all gone All gone, but I still have you

It's 3 o'clock in the morning On someone else's couch You're watchin' a national park documentary On the TV It's a strange thing The images flicker on the screen And You begin to dream Of a life you've never led Watching prairie grasses sway Whiling away the days Nostalgia swells in your heart The wolves return to Yellowstone And suddenly you miss home It's 3 o'clock in the morning on someone else's couch You're watchin' a national park documentary On the TV And it's a strange thing You start to cry, but you don't Really know why So you switch off the TV And finally, you go to sleep It's 4 o'clock in the morning On someone else's couch You're watchin' a national park documentary In your dreams

H 01:31
I don't know where this is going A ghost, whispering in your ear I don't know what I am doing I just wanted to be here For you I just wanted to be near To you I don't mind being used I've no feelings left to abuse What light am I s'posed to see I'm trapped in your mind's disease Oh Love When we reach the end Make me like your other friend And bury me too Bury me too

My dad once told me If a deer's in the road Don't panic, don't swerve Just go, hit that doe If it's frozen there Too close to break Keep driving, plow through You'll make it, you will You might cry But you'll survive It's kind of like a metaphor For what, I don't know Just killing what's innocent In one fatal blow

Wisdom Teeth 01:49
Double and triple meanings To all your words And is that connotative or denotative? You've struck a chord But I can't read your eyes My wisdom teeth came out a year ago And maybe that is why I'm not wise You know things I don't And you won't tell Gimme your sunday crossword puzzle Seven letter word for hell And I can't decode your lies My wisdom teeth came out a year ago And maybe that's why I'm not wise Maybe that's why it's so hard To talk to you, on even ground Is this your calling card A mind game, to keep us sharp And to finally, break our hearts
