I don't know what shape my demons take But they must look an awful lot like you If you could leave this behind Then you were never really mine You'll take comfort in the lie That you can meet the right one at the wrong time But I know better You're not better We're not better off alone Soften your lip, put humility to work Pride is the devil in a blue collared shirt Raised my white flag, gave you my love Now I lust for the circumference of us You'll take comfort in the lie That you can meet the right one at the wrong time But I know better You're not better We're not better off alone I know better You're not better We're not better off alone

RSVP 04:08
Here I am dreaming of god Oh, solitude must miss me Here love is a blind man's guide Am I the fool... a waste of youth? It's an open invitation, an outstretched hand My door is rarely open, but I'd let you in It's an open invitation, it's a promised land My door is rarely open, but oh, I'd let you in Joy in the purest form Is my chemicals mixing with yours Will you be around in the warmer months With our spools unwound? It's an open invitation, an outstretched hand My door is rarely open, but I'd let you in It's an open invitation, it's a promised land My door is rarely open, but oh, I'd let you in Here I am dreaming of you Oh, solitude, how I missed you

Coyote's Den 04:38
I've never had an enemy That's taken shape in a man's body I prefer to put my fists up and aim at an eye Whenever I see a mirror nearby I ask not for love, but for stillness I pray not for joy, but for silence The familiar clutch of cold claws Digging round my unsuspecting heart Hammering in me Stealing all the diamonds from my damn quarry. I ask not for love, but for stillness I pray not for joy, but for silence But I am just the little one Who stumbled in to the coyote's den I am just the little one Who stumbled in to the coyote's den You bled me of my youth Tying little bows round my own noose And I hate you But I am you But I am just the little one Who stumbled in to the coyote's den But I am just the little one Who stumbled in to the coyote's den I ask not for love, but for stillness I pray not for joy, but for silence Not love, stillness Not joy, silence But I am just the little one
