Darkest Dreams

Tell me all your darkest dreams
And I will drive them from the recesses of your sleep
If I could
I would banish them for good
With a turned melancholy word
I would, absorb the most bitter
Thoughts, and you would be so pleased
to see me there
And you'd know
That I only want to celebrate your best parts
I only want to sing
And I only care for art
And I only want to celebrate your best parts
Tell me any darkened thing
I'd treasure any secret like a jewel
On display,
but I will keep your secret safe
I would give nothing away
and you'd be happy that you told me in the first place
Tell me an upsetting thing
I will stoically be poised accepting
Tell me all your darkest dreams
Though I am false, I am here, and I am waiting
Tell me an upsetting thing
I would treasure any pained words like a jewel
On display,
but I will keep your pain at bay
Because I know the words to say
and you'd be happy that you told me in the first place
Tell me an upsetting thing
And I will stoically be poised accepting
Tell me all your darkest dreams
Though I am false, I am here, and and I am waiting
Though I am false, I am here, and that's the main thing

Marathon

Taking, my heart from you
And Then squinting, 'till I see two
Blurry and still see-through
Shadows, both true
Clearly now this will not do
This endless marathon
I sing the same old song
My words are hums and haws
And they sound better the longer they go on
Feeling a summer's love
Like feeding, then throwing up
Now I said the wrong name once
In the throws of love
Oh clearly now I've not had enough
Of this endless marathon
Where I sing the same old song
my words are hums and haws
sounding better the longer they go on

Im not sure what the problem is
but I've felt it from the start
Its hard to gain that perspective
without coming apart
And don't you try to follow this
Because there's more than just two roads
Since I'm not sure what the problem is
anymore
No I'm not sure what the problem is
anymore
I'm not sure what the question was
that made me think of this
or what you call a question when
you're not really asking
And don't you try to answer this
cuz you wont get much to show
Since I'm not sure what the problem is
anymore
No I'm not sure what the problem is
anymore
I'm not sure what the trouble was
But I know that I'm at fault
It's hard to feign a confidence
When you're not worth your salt
And don't you try to lend a hand
Cuz your hand can't bear the load
Since I'm not sure what the problem is
anymore
I'm not sure what the problem is
anymore
I'm not sure what the problem is
anymore

You're Still On My Mind

I'd like to have you back
Like I'd like a rich and lavish feast
Plates stacked high with sweets
and meat
But after my first bite
I'd feel you souring inside
You're still on my mind
And you're still in my soul
But in the place where garbage grows
I miss you all the time
But I like you better as a ghost
Adowa please be mine
And you're still in my heart
But in the place that's set apart
For the people that I detest
that I cannot get off my chest
when I miss you every day
But I like you best from far away
You're still on my mind
Because I dream of you sometimes
I dream Adowa please be mine
You're still on my mind
You're still on my mind
You're still on my mind
You're still on my mind
You're still on my mind
You're still on my mind
You're still on my mind
You're still on my mind
You're still on my mind
You're still on my mind

A moon gain, a morning lose
I wish that I could choose
To take a little back from my time with you
To take off my coat and untie my shoes
A sun rise, a shadow dies
I’d like to turn back time
Back to when i saw you in a better light
Now i don't quite recall what you quite look like
A star fades, an autumn day
And I'm left with naught to say
A lucid scene, has begun to fade
Now I look on back to a fairy-tale
