If he were here
Would you walk out and tell me you can’t stay?
If he were here
Would the words and laughter that we’ve had just fade away?
Keep…me
Save… me
If he were here
Would the things that we have shared be not enough
If he were here
Would you choose to give them up and act so tough?
If he were here
Would a car, a yacht, and all, make you decide
Could you forget it all, forget how hard you cried?
If he were here
Would you leave us?
If he were here
Would you forget us?
If he were here…
If he were here…
If he were here…

Shiver Bed

Come lay with me
You’re sick, baby
Come lay with me
it’s time to sweat it out
Your head reels
Your skin’s peeling
You’ve lost feeling
It’s time to sweat it out
Hallucinate
I’ll be waiting
No debating
It’s time to sweat it out
We’ll break this fever yet
The TV’s on
The world’s warring
The Chief’s whoring
He’s whoring himself out
It’s all around
Alarms sounded
All flights grounded
It seems there’s no way out
We’ve been had
It’s all madness
Don’t borrow sadness
It’s time to sweat it out
We’ll break this fever yet
He cannot bring us down, he cannot burn us to the ground
We’re gonna break this fever yet, and stop the shivering
It is a sickness, but we’ll get over it
We’re gonna break this fever yet, and stop the shivering
We’ll stop this shivering
We’ll stop this shivering

They’re waiting for you at the bar
With drinks to throw in your face
They’ll show up in front of your boss
And reveal your big disgrace
They’re the closest talkers
And they’ll never give you space
Your ghosts can’t take the hint
Your ghosts keep coming back
They’ll bust up the dinner party
As you light the cherries jubilee
They’ll tattle to everyone
What you told them in therapy
They’ll come for you heavily armed
And they’ll get past security
They’ll open your diary
And they’ll let everybody see
Your ghosts can’t take the hint
Your ghosts keep coming back
And you can’t escape
The things that you hate
Will find you
Your ghosts won’t take the hint
Your ghosts keep coming back
They’ll stage interventions for you
With your family and friends
They’ll ruin everything
On which your happiness depends
They’ll be wherever you are
And you know it never ends

How can it feel like the first time?...
Please love me like I love you...

Desert

Sometimes,
there’s a desert in my soul
so dry
and devoid of growing things
winds blows
sand in eyes that never see
Lead me to water
Now I believe
Mountains
higher than I’d ever go.
The snow there,
more peaceful than seems possible.
winds blow
to places I’ll never see.
Lead me to water
Now I believe
Take me
take me from this desert place
show me
the peace is not impossible
bring me
to a place I’ve never seen
Lead me to water
Now I believe

All of your devils are here
All of your devils are here
All of your devils are here, god forbid
All of your devils are here
All of your devils are here
All of your devils are here
All of your devils are here, god forbid
All of your devils are here
I thought you invited them
… the guy who date raped you, called it consensual
… the girl who gaslit you, called you mental
… the kid who pushed you down, out on the play yard
… the dude that laughed at you, when you couldn’t get hard
I thought you invited them
… the boss who thinks your work is “lacking potential”
… the ex who thinks your life is inconsequential
… the friend who never calls ‘cause you’re “too depressing”
… the priest will not hear what you’re confessing
I thought you invited them
Why would you want them here?
What use are they to you?
Everything in your head
somehow it’s all come true
All of your devils are here
All of your devils are here
All of your devils are here
All of your devils are here
All of your devils are here
I thought you invited them
