FEELINGS
Don’t stop, tell me that I earned this one
Cos one is one too many, too many’s not enough
I swallowed my pride, I just want the harder stuff
My appetite anaesthetises love
Don’t start telling me it’s all been fun
If I’m getting paid to make you feel like you’re the one
Tell me you look for it in every eye, the flaw
Tell me the lies you think I’m looking for
Do you see me?
Looking through a glass darkly
Angels sing in sympathy
As I try to hold the fears in
There’ll be hell to pay
Squandering my words to say
I could lose myself today
As I try to kill the feelings
If I start answering to a nom de plume
I don’t care who’s in the room
Disown me
Hear ye, oh fellow fucked up sons of Abraham
Another wounded child inside a man
Inside a man to be
Do you see me?
Still dressed up for the liturgy
Asking myself how do we, betray what we believe in?
There’s part of me that’s propping up the bar you see
Or is the bar propping up me
As I try to kill the feelings?
I try to kill the feelings

Crippled Love

CRIPPLED LOVE
So long, in the backseat on The One
Stolen shades, staring straight into the sun
Last night, picking your bones clean in the green room
I dreamed I saw you bleed out on the stage
Meth towns, closing our eyes in the motel pools
My God, how I sleepwalk through the days
This comedown, they set it all up for the next fools
It’s your round, I’ll put another one away
I know my crippled love won’t turn you down
Only your love could save you, now
Only your love could save you now
I’m in the Chapel, looking for you in the faces
I’m in the waffle house, dropping food upon the floor
Somehow, the grace in this day still amazes, me
Somehow I still kneel before the door
I know my crippled love won’t turn you down
Only your love could save you, now
Only your love could save you
At the Zodiac, singing about the sin
I didn’t want you to see the pain that I was in
Here I am, no longer waiting on a saviour
I’d only want another flavour, if you found me one
At the Lexington, I
Drink myself under the table
You singing come as you are, I come undone
Speak to part of me that’s more than what I do
If I sing let me sing to the light in you
I know my crippled love won’t turn you down
Only your love could save you now
I know my crippled love won’t turn you down
Only your love could save you now
Only your love could save you

WAKING UP
Neighbour can you help me, could you take the weight from me?
Before I could you’re gonna have to wanna put it down
I’d put the pain down, I’m afraid I won’t see mercy
Teach me the song the new morning sings
Sister don’t berate me, don’t forsake me, i’m a sinner
I just hid the way they taught me to do
Hanging in there, the line was thin and getting thinner
The lies that kept me here were wearing through
I can raise my voice
Nowhere to hide
It don’t come easily to me
Out stone cold
Coming back to life
I’m waking up inside in the dream
I’m waking up inside in the dream
Love for you oh brother true it changes by the minute
Burns out and it fails, sputters like a windblown flame
A shot of poison is the choice of not forgiving
In the gilded cage, the shadow play
Raise your voice
Be sanctified
May that come easily for you
Bought and sold
Half alive
I’m waking up inside the dream
Who are you? I’m coming to believe
I’m waking up inside in the dream (Am)
Who are you? Yr just a go-between
I’m waking up inside in the dream
X 2
I’m waking up inside in the dream

How To Love

HOW TO LOVE
When you said listen for the spirit
That word wouldn’t work for me
When you said listen for your conscience
I listened like a thief
Saw myself inside a theatre
Snoring through the show
You said the devil’s out to beat you
Seems you’ve been the last to know
So kiss me on my brow
A flame still burns above, my love
I’m not afraid to try
I’m afraid of trying and not feeling good enough
I look for comfort in the pleasures
All the world was not enough for me
Remind me that I knew you
Or my heart would not believe
Once I saw the Grand Canyon
From the window of a plane
When the devil wants to find me
You know he answers to my name
And he’ll be back again
How much suffering’s enough, my friend?
I’m not afraid to die
No, I’m afraid of dying not knowing how to love
Not knowing
How to love
Not knowing
How to love, her

Serenity Prayer

SERENITY PRAYER
Now I think I see the name of my disease
Now I live to see the one
Give me one more time to get up off my knees
One more time around the sun
Now I think I see the paradise
See it in a whole new light
I see a part of me behind your eyes
Now I’m surrendering the fight
Thy will be done
I was clawing my way towards a new shame
Always leaning on an alibi
I was forgetting my real name
Always questioning the why
Thy will be done

MISERY & COMPANY
I had to step into the light to sing it to you
They see me with my eyes closed, honey
I’d drink into the night, what good did it do
This rabbit in the headlights strumming?
Afraid of it all, who’s running the show?
A circus of my own imagination
Misery and company
This can’t be the end
I’m putting on a face, I’m some kind of clown
A cannonball, afraid of flying
Underneath the sideshow that never left town
An epitaph that reads “still trying”
Learning how to fall, there’s nothing to know
Light me up like Blackpool illuminations
Misery and company
This can’t be the end
If my heart
My heart’s still beating
My heart, it’s beating over again
I’m in love with it all, who’s running the show?
A circus of my own imagination
Misery and company
Misery and company
Misery and company
This can’t be the end
If my heart
My heart’s still beating
My heart, it’s beating over again
Now show me, anything holier than…

Give Myself Away

GIVE MYSELF AWAY
The slowest suicide
Did something burn inside my heart?
Untended like a flame
As the embers died away
At the break of the day, a light
While I became a name
What if angels keep me here
It’s still my work alone to do
In loving you
And when it’s time to slip away
And give my body to the dust and clay
Try to honour love in all you do
I wanna give myself away
And I laugh til I cry
Gonna miss my place at your lonely side
I wanna give myself away
Away so easily
Will I wonder if I’d stayed, what would be?
A castle in the tide
So know that I am near
And soon to follow
Another soul to to feed
Another soul to find
Not a soul to be, to be denied
I wanna give myself away
And I laugh til I cry
Gonna miss my place at your lonely side
I wanna give myself away
Away so easily
Will I wonder if I’d stayed, what would be?
I wanna give myself away

STILL QUIET VOICE
Why pray at night
Unless there’s something to believe in
More than desire
A longing to be love
Awake I find
Another way to turn myself in
While I was calling love a feeling
It’s myself I was thinking of
I’ve tried to hide
Tried to make myself a stranger
Tried to buy your love, in danger
Of not forgiving who I was
I can’t deny
I’ve been quick to point the finger
Can’t hear the song for the singer
It’s myself that I’m thinking of
How will I recognise a still quiet voice inside
It is here, it is here, it is here
I look to the light
Am I getting used to kneeling?
I got a little used to feeling
That I never was enough
I hold on tight
Someone scrape me off the ceiling
I pay less heed to love than feelings
It’s myself that I’m thinking of
How will I recognise a still quiet voice inside
It is here, it is here, it is here
How will I recognise a still quiet voice inside
It is here, it is here, it is here
How will I recognise a still quiet voice inside
It is here, it is here, it is here
How will I recognise a still quiet voice inside
It is here, it is here, it is here
It is here, it is here it is here, it is
I’m hearing you now

Comedown

COMEDOWN
The mystery it’s calling you
A ghost inside is haunting all that I do
What I’m afraid to say out loud
I dig myself another hole in the ground
Now i’m seeing through my own disguise
You put your body down and learn how to fly
What was I afraid to say?
To keep the gold in this life, give it away
It’s one hell of a comedown
And if it wasn’t for love
I’d still get the feeling that somehow
What I think I need, it’s never, it’s never enough
Beautiful soul
Carry the sorrow
Oh, bring it to the light
Now, Let it go
Beautiful soul
Carry the sorrow
Oh, bring it to the light
After all this passing through
It’s like you’re here but you’re still in the next room
Afraid to say your name
I throw my arms up, now I’ll say it again
It’s one hell of a comedown
And if it wasn’t for love
I’d still get the feeling that somehow
What I think I need, it’s never enough
It’s never enough
Beautiful soul
Carry the sorrow
Oh, bring it to the light
Now, Let it go
Beautiful soul
Carry the sorrow
Oh, bring it to the light
Oh, bring it to the light
Now, Let it go
Oh, bring it to the light
Now, Let it go
