I Love Not Loving You
It used to be any fool could see
I was lost in you being lost in me
I was two feet back from my head it seems
I was watching you look away from me
On and on and on I'd go
'Til a voice inside I didn't know said let go
I love not loving you anymore
I love not going through what you put me through
When I loved you
I was just a piece of the scenery
I was lost in you being lost in me
I lift my voice to your silent scream baby you sing lead
I'm a harmony
My friend here you are again
And just as I began to pull me out of the wreckage
Alright you caught me in a lie
But if I talk it I may buy it
I've got to try it
I sucker myself so foolishly
'Cause I'm lost in you being lost in me
North is south and my west in east
I'm upside down and I'm on my knees
On and on and on like so
'Til it hit me in Ontario
When a voice inside I didn't know
Said let go
Unfolding
It's a lazy afternoon on the eastside of Saskatoon
I've been waiting all day for you to come see me
Do you want to try and make believe
That I'll never have to leave?
Or maybe we just agree that it's hopeless.
Your lips are moving, say it louder
Tell me what you're in or out of
Shout
What are you afraid about
Let me hear it from your mouth
Tell me why you're holding out and in hiding
'Cause I'm unfolding
You're not showing and I can't take anymore silent fighting
When I saw you the other day I knew you'd run away
And that'd be the only way that you'd make it
I wouldn't even really mind if you told me what you decided
But when I try to remember your signs
I'm blanking
There's a bomb in your brain
Ticking out of your mouth
And every second I wait
Is bringing you closer to blowing
Me out of the way
Everybody's Right
You're wrong but you're louder than me so you win but you're still wrong
Does the sound of your voice in your ears make you feel that you belong?
And in the face of all this I'm spinning
In the face of all of this I'm spitting
What'd you do and who are you to tell me who I am?
Tell me what I'm gonna do
Tell me if I can
I'm waiting on the day when I don't stay home every night
Thinking everybody thinks I'm wrong and everybody's right
Who are you?
You're like a whole that I filled up with dirt and grew out of
Inside your box it's just use that you're making a crowd of
Did I change or are you choosing whatever you see?
Maybe I resent it but I'm still the same old me
Really Wrong
In a shiny patch of you, my sweet corroded love
I still recognise my face and all the things I dream of
I dream of you
Here comes the really wrong
You know you knew it all along
But you chase it anyway
There it goes, you're at home
She's the nail you're hanging on
And you'd throw it all away
The only lover that I've known wears a streak across her back
Made of broken yellow lines stiched on shoulders of black
And she's holding me up
Snaking me on down as we're skimming over top of the places I dream of
I dream of you
Phantom Limb
Every bottle ever emptied by you
Every shoe that you walked holes into
All the bath water down your drain
Knows you like I do baby
The crumpled side of your crashed up car
Every soldier gone to Mars
The stranded light of a burned out
Star
Knows you like I do
You're my phantom limb
I know you're gone but I feel you
Good morning Gloria
Who knows you like I do?
Every word cut short by a cough
Every sentence trailing off
Every pistol pin untriggered
Knows you like I do, my lover
Knows you like I do
I thought I saw you out in the yard
The wind turned pages of your book
I swore you came to me as music from some window
Down for one more look
Shot Down Satellites
I crawl home from underneath a stone
Shaking all the pebbles out
Telephone screaming all alone
I'll go out and walk it off
Body shivers mind is racing all over tonight
Sky is burning riders coming for shot down satellites
I don't know where your feather tongue
Is at when the fork is out
Stole the cold from the under winter snow
Froze in the rising sun
Worse Than Before
Did I wake you up?
Why do you always lie to me?
For all the good it does
I can hear it when you speak
You're pushing on me but you can't make me be what you want me to be anymore
Have you come to pull apart all of the things I built for us?
Right before you start stomping me into the dust
Listen, hear me
You're not dreaming
Things are changing, I'm up from the floor
You're pushing me but you can't make me be what you want me to be anymore
The harder you try to undo what I'm doing will just make it worse than
Before
Practice your smile
Show me what you use it for
Try it for a while
Fire up your last resort
Rust
There's nothing here I couldn't break
If I loved it hard enough
Nothing that wouldn't crumble in my hands
There's nothing here I couldn't crash if I sat behind the wheel
Nothing that wouldn't fall apart if I tried to hold it together
Please, please, please
Please don't lie to my face
Your face never lies to me
There's no one who wouldn't play a hero
If I threw a masquerade
No one could fool me in disguise
There's no one heavy I couldn't raise them
Nobody so light as to blind my eyes
No stone I couldn't turn to gravel if I tried to hold it together
Sweet corroded love
I still see myself in your shiny patches
But rust is going to claim you from me soon
I taste the reservation in your kisses
I see it in the twitching of your nose
I know by the way you look right past me
You're showing what you think that you don't show
Moment That You Came
Bested by the worst of you I'm losing my thirst for you again
But I don't mind
Is all this empty clamour simply more than you can stand or is it me?
Was I so blind?
The moment that you came
You tried to get away
You're the first to leave today but it's early now
Anyhow...
All you were to me
And all it could have been
I'll forget about you thanks for dropping in
All the dented heads and broken beds are nearly dead inside my brain
And it's alright
All the games I play to keep my mind off what's at stake have me buying it
But I'm cheating
I know you probably wanted me to cry
But it's a good a time as any for goodbye
Bested by the worst of you I'm losing to my thirst for you again
And your drunkenness
Is all this empty clamour more than you had planned on taking in
I can sympathize
Wide Eyed
If you knew that it may end up this way why are you frozen with fear?
If you weren't so afraid I might have stayed much more sincere
Wide eyed watch your vanity taking everything away from you
Why does notoreity make the wall around your door see through?
If I maybe said something, your head would be at ease?
If that were the case could your erase all you've preconceived?
Who made you think yours is better than everyone else's?
Eleven
I don't really want do what I want to do every time I look at you
But I'll probably do it anyway
I knew better when I met you than to let you get your hooks in me
But you're hooking anyhow
Yes. No. Stop. Go.
I won't show unless you say so
Tomorrow's gonna take what it's owed by you
So tonight better get what you can
Nothing comes easily nothing comes free
So you'd better not miss this chance
I don't really want to do what I said I'd do
But I'm gonna follow through so I feel like I'm alive
I want to feel like I'm alive
Please Go Home
Don't show up here anymore I told you twice before
We think you're such a bore, go on and leave us
But you roll your eyes again...
Won't you please go home?
It's good when you're gone
You're a mess and you're dull and you're stupid
No one wants to hear you talk, we used to laugh and mock
But the joke is growing old, go on and leave us
How you love to carry on pointlessly and endlessly about the things you've done
When no one cares
And all we think about is keeping you away from all our stuff
You think it's a game, you think we're friends but this is where the free ride ends
Don't show up here anymore, your presence is a chore
We thought if we ignored you, you'd just leave us
No one wants to hear you talk about all the girls you rock
You think we're joking but we're not we mean it
But you roll your eyes again and try your best to pretend
And ask if we can lend you something
Won't you please get out?
It's so good when you're gone
You're a mess and you smell and you're stupid
It's So Bad
I promised no asterisk
But I think I probably lied
And if you would by accident come here tonight
I could show you why
I've been through it all
No room in these walls to forget what I want to remember again
And it always gets worse at night
Ah really come on where did you go?
I wanna go home, didn't you know I need you?
Figure it out, where did you go falling apart
Didn't you know I need you?
Tonight it's so bad
It's so bad tonight
