endless guilt giveaway
first in line for mistakes
you're no fun when you're high
a setting sun fills your eyes
you go, hide in solitude
you know, time will follow you

darling, close your eyes
for your love is blind
still I hope in time
that it will be mine
darling step inside
and im sure you'll find
you've been on my mind
long before this rhyme
whenever you're around, I can't sleep and
when I'm lying down, you're in my dreams and
I know that its wrong to feel this
but I don't have to explain my reasons
now we've reached the time
in which we decide
do we let this lie
or give into desire?
lets get this over now, don't fight feelings
just never speak aloud, or repeat them
the sober mouth, shares no secrets
and the drunken clown, has no regrets

early in the morning
see the clouds perform in, the sunlight
everyone is mourning
seems were more important, when we die
is this all a joke, or a sad truth?
turned your bed of snow, into a glass room
hid within its walls are your feelings
safe and sound from all of your demons
and when i lose you, then i lose myself
what am i to do when ice starts to melt?
subtract the odds, and get even?
or sit back and watch, as you're sinking
days turn into moments
conversations drone as time speeds by
body keeps on going
but the heart and soul get left behind
do you wanna choke, and let it trap you?
or escape the throes of your glass noose
everyone becomes a fleeting
memory to us in the end
but if i lose you, then i lose myself
what am I to do, when you're someone else?
pupils black, enlarged, and all feelings
turn to glassy shards that you breathe in

dont speed away, drive slow
camp sleepaway, I go
you're secrets safe, i know
don't believe in faith, blind hope
oh, you couldn't cope
oh, now you're a ghost
oh, the caskets closed, and
oh
but if you want, I'll be home
but if you don't, i'll be gone
its not enough to say in song
so if you want...
just for today, try drugs
don't give away my love
some people change, I'm one
don't be the same, I'm dumb
oh, you couldn't cope
oh, now you're a ghost
oh, the caskets closed, and
oh
but if you want, I'll be home
but if you don't, i'll be gone
its not enough to say in song
so if you want...
(lead)
(repeat chorus)
it was good, good it was
it was good, good it was

do seasons change? (do lovers lie?)
i'm seein' things (lost my eyes)
the easy way (hard to find)
and if you think (im wrong, you're right)
in this countryside town
no one ever lies down
is it safe to hide now?
in this comfort I've found
rearranged (and realigned)
feeling strange (feeling fine)
the only way (to lose is try)
you've me to thank (for bad advice)
in this countryside town
no one ever lies down
is it safe to hide now?
in this comfort I've found

got injected with a new sex dream
unaware you're splitting at the seams
the suit you wear, a shoot and tie
when you're at you're lowest you're high
now you're so far gone
scarlet letter on your arms
the greatest gift you wish you'd never received, yeah

you have to give to receive and
you give the gift of receiving
honestys best and whats right when
truth is you're better off lying
i can't control how i feel and
i feel I'm prone to not feeling
I'm safe and sound without borders
i'm out of bounds, but in order
my heart is dead when you leave and
my lungs expand when you breathe in
its not the same as it once was
nothing has changed, nothing ever does
the cost of living is leaving
but we're cheating death in our sleep and
subconscious memories sink in
under the weight of our dreaming
i can't control how i feel and
i feel I'm prone to not feeling
I'm safe and sound without borders
i'm out of bounds, but in order
my heart is dead when you leave and
my lungs expand when you breathe in
its not the same as it once was
nothing has changed, nothing ever does

harrowing tides, under saline skies
i should leave but I don't have the will to, so I'll stay behind
maybe I'll start to see that the flower can still bloom
when the vase is dry, baby I'm fine
heroine eyes, gone and made me blind
now i see that the flower is in bloom, and the vase is mine
baby I'm in a dream that hasn't an end
you, can't save me now
lay me down
down
down

Orchidales Belmont, North Carolina
"...three dudes from Belmont who finished high school a few years back and, well, didn't leave. Their surfy, trash-fi translation of Brian Jonestown Massacre well reflects the kind of nihilistic, hard-drinking slumming that takes place among the young and disillusioned - as do their rowdy, equipment failure-plagued live shows." - Corbie Hill, Creative Loafing ... more
