1. _ One Wind Blows
Wouldn't know any more than home
And couldn't see much further
And light won't help
A wound untended grows
And never heals
Standing face to east
Waiting for an answer
But the only sound is desert wind
And when the wind was cold
Bundled up and packed away we shiver still
Finding more than one wind blows
I couldn't sleep
Something kept me still and wide awake
And gnawing at my breast
Something i don't know
I couldn't shake it
Laying face to wall
Plaster tells me nothing
But i sense a movement somewhere else
And 'though it's far away
Bundled up in safety here i shiver still
Finding more than one wind blows
He walked alone
Facing wind and snow
Moving slowly
He staggers, moves again
Somehow stronger now
The wind won't touch him

2. _ Know Me
Should i have believed i was still a boy
Naive and sane, protected wholly
Tongue-tied and restless
Breathing of futures
Know me; i am not a child
'though you have age
You have not felt the pain...
Should i have remained obedient and docile
So far restrained
The hands that hold me back
Could break my bones
As each one snaps
I hate my home
Far on my way
I should know, i was born here
Know me
Am i just some fool? am i far from ready?
Just let me fall and i'll believe you.
Chained up and pampered i strain until i crack
Know me before you kill what i want to be
And leave me cold
Bled white
And feeling old
Far on my way
I should know, i was born here
Know me--know all i am
Far on my way
I was cold then i exploded
Know me...

3. _ Pale Blue
Azul palido
As death it waits for me
After storms
And after pouring rain
Vainest thunder
Pale blue remains
Azul palido
As death it follows me
Mocking weather
An attempt in vain
Weakest thunder
Laughing at the rain
Azul palido
As death it comforts me
After storms
And after pouring rain
Crashing thunder
Pale blue remains

4. _ Unquiet
I am taught but i
Never learn a thing
I'm not deaf but i
Can't hear everything
A quiet world
Unquiet
I am strong but i
Never move a thing
I have words but i
Lack the voice to sing
A quiet world
Unquiet
I would sell the world
Would i...
I am fast but i
Never move at all
I have sight but i
Never choose to show
A quiet world
Unquiet
I would sell the world
Would i...
A quiet world
Unquiet

5. _ Way Away
Line of people to pass you by
Posing sympathy with its whitewash eyes
With the ladies feigning their mourning cries
And the men shaking hands:
Weigh away
Way away
All the pictures in your mind
As you're passed the thousandth time
Thousandth photograph
Listen to sympathetic lies
As their reasons change under mourning guise
With the gentlemen feigning sorrowed sighs
And drinking champagne:
Weigh away
Way away
As all the people pass and pose
You hold back the tears
And hold onto memories
Small talk hangs like a dirty cloud
Saying nothing real but deafening loud
An urge to run away from the crowd
And mourn all alone:
Make a promise to no-one
Wondering if you'd been worthwhile
Turn away from the chatter
And the hungry smiles

6. _ When We Recovered
So suddenly
Where was my mind
What was i thinking of
I lost control
You could have died
I could have killed you
But when we recovered
I only thought of you
And when you saw my hands
You shuddered
I realized
How much i cared for you
I slip sometimes
I can be cruel
I can say stupid things
But after crimes
Pardoned
And pride follows behind me
But when we recovered
I only thought of you
And light remaining after thunder
I realized
How much i cared for you

7. _ Covered In Roses
Covered in roses
No-one deserves it all
Covered in roses
What are they looking for
Take me for what i am
Not something more
When this boy
Becomes a man
Then you will know
Covered in roses
And no-one deserves it all
Covered in roses
Always before a fall

8. _ Always Changing Probably
I wanted to follow you
Down to your well-furnished cave
And to laugh at your art
I wanted to tell you the truth
But i'm always afraid
That you'll be torn apart
Oh, say the word
And i'll tell you you're wrong
Oh, say the word
I've been waiting too long
But when you talk
There's nothing to hear
I'm always changing
You're too far or too near
I wanted to tell her the truth
But i'm always afraid it's not in her heart
I wanted to say how i felt
But i'm always afraid
That she'll stop when i start
Oh, say the word
When we're there at her home
Oh, say the word
'cause i don't want to be alone
But when she talks
She's all that i hear
How can i help it
You are always too near

9. _ Scenes From A Vinyl Recliner
High on a wire
Poised for an imminent fall
Clowns always smile
Greasepaint and lust in their pores
Start to sway and i hold your hand
Fall, the smile surrounds his head
Hot ashes, clay
Hot ashes fade
To lean, to err, too far along for me
To wait around, to smile is to accept
In center ring
Rolling in sawdust and hay
Covered in paint
Damn everything but the circus
Damn the men and the women who stare
At the freaks in the cages and snares
Hot ashes, clay
Hot ashes fade
To win, to err, to fall too far for safety
To lean, to wait a while is too easy
To lean towards, to fall too far for me
To wait a while around is too easy
To lean too long, to fall too far for safety
To seem to smile, to lie is to accept

10. _ One Little Girl
One little girl
Told to know her place
Told she must believe
And do what he says
One little girl
Taught that she is small
Taught that she is less
And man's decree is law
One little boy who'd know her too well
But that one little boy could send her to hell
One little man who'd care if she cried
But that one little man would leave her
And then she'd die
One little girl
Is beaten 'till she faints
Told that this is love
Told that she will have to take it
One little girl
Is just a bit confused
Thought that she was human too
Chorus
One little girl
Couldn't run away
Anywhere she'd go
The rules and men the same
One little girl
Couldn't take the pain
Numbed herself 'till none remained
Chorus
