Lullaby Zero

When the sky has turned to black
Close your eyes my little dove
Think of something you want back
To remind you of the love
And I share this song with you
So when push does come to shove
You'll have something beautiful
To remind you of the love
When the darkness settles in
Only silence from above
Know the sun will rise again
To remind us of the love

It was raining when we said goodbye
I remember it like it was yesterday and I
Remember seeing in your eyes all the promises we made
How I would never say goodbye to you
And you would never ever leave me too
But one of us was forced to lie
And now I'll spend my whole damn life
Til I can find a place where no one dies
I'll never be anything better than I was back then
And I don't know which way to go
Cuz my mountains crumbled on the day we tumbled
I had found something that I'd been searching for
But I won't, won't look anymore
It was raining when we said goodbye
I remember it like it was yesterday and I recall
The promises we made when I looked into your eyes
You'll never be anything more than a memory
A strong one, but a memory
A poltergeist in a catalog of love
And we fought so hard
We held hands
I remember sayin' that it might not get much better
But it couldn't get much worse
And we pushed it up the hill just to watch it roll back down
And we lost the war, my love, now someone else will wear the crown
And if you could just see this, it'd be so much better here today
But I know some day, some way
It was raining when we said goodbye
Gonna let the rain wash this all away
Every sin every prayer every broken word
Wash it all away
And I've made up my mind
Let it wash away
Still the fact remains
Still the fact remains
That one of us was forced to lie
Now I'll spend my whole damn life
Til I can find a place where no one dies

Goodnight Nobody
03:16
|
|||
I've found love in a darker place than you dear
And I've known hope in more crushing depths than these
But what is that familiar sound?
Is this some tragic ghost I've found?
When you paddle out from shore
Be sure to bring back none of your
Beautiful lightning or your terrible storms
And I've been stung now worse than anybody
And playing doctor never gets me far
But what's the point of love when you have to wear these kid gloves?
When you shoot off into space
Be sure to note the time and place
So I can follow and catch the orbit of your face
In every room we take away the air
My love and I, the drifting subtle pair
And I can tell our story to anyone I think will care
If she walks out of that door
She probably won't be back for more
But I'm sure that I can't handle this thing anymore
So goodnight nobody
Goodnight
Goodnight nobody
Goodnight
Goodnight nobody
Goodnight
Goodnight

We Could Be So Much More
04:33
|
|||
She fell like a star down here
Torn into fragments by the atmosphere
And it seems a little weird that the more we talk
The more we break into pieces of me and you
I don't believe that I didn't see this comin'
I always pride myself on my detective eye
And I don't know if this haunts you but it haunts me that
We could be so much more
We could be brilliant or we could be bores
We could be so much more
I guess there's not much left to fear
Cuz you can't kill what's dead my dear
And it seems a little weird that the more we try
The more we're confused by the look in each other's eyes
I don't believe that I didn't see this comin'
I always pride myself on my reflective eye
And I don't know if this haunts you but it haunts me that
We could be so much more
We could be heroes or we could be bores
So you've heard it all before
Well don't let it go to your head
Cuz my mouth is a graveyard for things I've left unsaid
There's so much more that we need to say
We both see things in the exact same way
And it seems a little pointless to try to hide
All the things that we feel inside
So we let it all out, let the fire spout
And we blindside all of our satellites
But I still believe in us
I still believe in the things we wrote down
In our sacred book
And I will see you at the end
On the other side, my friend
So you've heard it all before
Well don't let it go to your head
Cuz my mouth is a graveyard for things I've left unsaid
We could be so much more
We could be so much more

Hollow Echo
05:04
|
|||
I came to this town
And what I found, what I found
Well it shocked me to the core
Never seen anything like that before
When I came to your house
You shocked me to the floor
And I hate to be the bearer of this bad news
But the world is spinning out of our control
And if we don't get a hold
I'm afraid that we won't know
How to let go
How to let go
Of this hollow echo
How to let go
Of this hollow echo
And I wonder if I'll ever sleep again
I don't know
All the things you put inside my head
How they echo
And I hate to be the bearer of this bad news
But your world is spinning out of your control
And you need to let go
Of this hollow echo
How do I make you let go of this hollow echo?
And I know I sleep
Cuz the angels come
And they visit me in my dreams
And I know you sleep
Cuz the angels tell me everything, what they see
They see madness when you sleep
And lightning in your dreams
This thought
This thought
Can I bear this thought?
Can I bear this thought?
This nightmare
Can I bear?

Lone Gun
03:56
|
|||
It starts with a feeling like love or loss
Taken to the air on your permanent cross
You're wasting too much time
Here's where it cuts
At the edge of a knife
You've got the love but you cannot find the life to break it open
You've got a nice set of eyes
You've got a cute way to be wise
And you've got a strong alibi
But I don't buy that
I don't wanna be a lone gun anymore
I don't wanna know the sad songs on the radio
I just wanna see the sunrise on another day
I don't wanna be a lone gun anyway
Well it ends with a cloud rising up in the air
You could be free if you weren't so scared to fake it
That's alright
You never talk twice when you argue with me
Give it all away but you not care to take it
I don't mind that
You've got a nice set of eyes
You've got a cute way to be wise
And you've got a strong alibi
But I don't buy that
So
I don't wanna be a lone gun anymore
I don't wanna know the sad songs on the radio
I just wanna see the sunrise on another day
I don't wanna be a lone gun anyway
Oh, everything seems okay
But I bet you thought you could get away
But not today
Oh no not today
Cuz I don't wanna be a lone gun anymore
I don't wanna know the sad songs on the radio
I just wanna see the sunrise on another day
I don't wanna be a lone gun anyway

At Lullaby's End
04:44
|

Do you remember the songs she would sing?
Do you remember the joy they would bring?
I used to feel safe for a moment
Now I can't remember it
What do you do at lullaby's end
When everything's quiet and darkness sets in?
Well I used to think that I could take care of myself
I have tried to get back to that place
Where can I hear the simplest of rhymes?
I long for it daily, but we all grow up sometime
Where do you go at lullaby's end?
What do you know that I don't know, my friend?
Where do you go at lullaby's end?
What do you know that I don't know, my friend?
A little more real and a little less pretend
Where do you go at lullaby's end?
Sing to me angel of violence and war
Sing of bold lovers and dreamers and more
I'll take this for granted until it's too late
But since life is so short it makes no sense to wait
For the nightmares to pass and the struggles to cease
We strain out the good and then search for relief
I think it's just better if we all pretend there is nothing but darkness and peace
At lullaby's end
