As Tall As Lions Album

No, hesitation
no, the things that I've
done wrong you want to know
but do you want to know?

one wrong desire
leaves one more bullet
in my head
i'm breaking

it takes one small
compliment
that could save this boy
from the life he spent
but we're writing in his
eulogy we didn't know
how could we know?

no conversation
no cigarette to start it up again
no room for heroes
they're aleady dead
we're breaking

i believe that i will be remembered,
and i believe that i will be forgotten by a few.
but even if this life is never-ending
we'd get the forks and get the cake
and come on boys let's celebrate

Starlet
I still remember driving
our lights disturbed the high way,
exchanging looks and dancing off the road.

Rose petals
strewn about like broken glass
on a freeway where
a passer-by enjoys a snowy day

I'm screaming
You're dancing in the rearview
The engine's burning
and angels come to life through
indents in the snow

I'm giving life to
the wasted nights that breathe
While holding on to
the winter night, it's beaten me

People make good wood for fires
but we're too hot to burn
Hit the brakes, I cried
This could be a dream
if I just closed my eyes

My face is numb
Your cheeks are cold
Children watch the crash unfold
Before their eyes, breaths become
spirits in the cold

Stumbling out I trip and fall
And watch you lie like a porcelain doll
Shivering and Shivering
You've gone away, You've gone away

This could be too much for me
your body stopped but your heart
kept driving
across the land, your never felt
it go

It's not in the words you told me
It's all in the way you looked at me

Can foolhardy love affairs
be more than just wet thighs?
all that you're giving me
I don't recognize

the strength of your beauty's been
somewhere seeking solitude
but you’re just afraid of me
it's all in your eyes

and here we are
my heart's in your hand
we did this all wrong
let's do it again
you're a gun

this bad taste of leaving
will rush through our mouths
the words that I'm sealing
I'll start with now

and if my words were stone
I'd kiss them in your mouth
and though you're the lion
I'll drag you down

let's sing tonight
holding my hand
we could be friends
but I'm better off sleeping alone

I'm nothing, like an urn
I'm filling my body with flesh the you’ve burnt

When sunday is over let me love you
we'd take our clothes off in my bed
i would rob your body, with my body
though you lied to me instead

you just rolled me over

and all i'm feeling are your soft lips
and all i'm breathing is your air
and how i want to end this cold war
can i end this cold war?
why go on if you're still scared of what i'm not scared of

you just rolled me over

i'm not leaving until you're sorry
you're far away
one floor away
and i'm not going until it's over
you're far away
one floor away

when i do what you do then you can roll me over

I'm lighting matches off of
you and burning bridges all
for you.
Their fires leave a
perfect view of what seemed
to be your mouth letting
loose one more regret.
The two of us never looked so bad.
I've watched the changes
through black eyes, it's been
like a movie for all my life.
I've watched the changes
and you don't know the half
of it.
God this makes me sick
to say, but my one last
regret is that the two of us
never felt so right

I’m sleeping tonight with all the wolves
we’re dreaming of life that's better planned
as long as the wind that falls isn't longing for revenge
I should be safe
we should be safe

Here's to bitter ends,
so watch as your friends enjoy sins,
and embrace them,
stories they've told through ears on the walls,
speak softly to them all
