i can't face you but i can't erase you
it seems such a waste, you know,
to feel so inconsolable
so i'm out celebrating
cos i got too damn tired of waiting
but i got a heavy weight inside
like i was carrying a great thing that up and died
so i'll be leavin it here tonight
cos i don't know how to believe right
although i've tried and tried, it's so trite
to say that i want to burn out bright


i can't recieve you for want of the right way to believe you
cos i been told a million dirty lies
by so many wolves as sheeps disguised
so i'm in hedonist trainin
in hopes i'll escape those draining thoughts
i've gone to bed with Satan
and i don't regret it, not at all
but if i wake up tomorrow
to find i've been put on death row
well i really hope they take it slow
so i know who i am before i go


i can't please you
cos i don't wanna appease you
i wanna seize you by your holy throat
and wrestle you down into pure white snow,
screaming "what do you want from me?
"cos all i want is honesty.
"tell me what i can believe
"and what i need to tell to please leave me alone"


somewhere in what my mom says
loud shouts and simple silences
it's hinted at in the books I've read
it's meant by my grandma's quiet prayers
it's in the whispering wind's breath
it's in the summer's noble death
it's in the ocean's murky depths
it's in the mountain's highest crests
i know that i can find you there
i can find you everywhere
hallelujah

we're growing up we're moving on we are progressing

open your mouth and taste that air
breathe in the fresh and quiet air
