I'm Like a Bird

"I'm Like a Bird"

i'm like a bird
except my feathers have fur
if you want me,
you gotta chase me
i said if you want me,
you gotta chase me

*Godspeed
best wishes to you
Godspeed
i've already turned blue*

take your sling and grab your pipe
cause you know you're gonna be up all night
if you want me, come and get me
i'm not waiting around just to see you try

Godspeed
i've got my eyes on you
Godspeed
show me what you do

Godspeed
best wishes to you
Godspeed

just do what you do
just do what you do
you want me? come and get me
and just do what you do

Godspeed
best wishes to you
Godspeed
just do what you do

The Fruitless Vine Will Be Cut

"The Fruitless Vine Will Be Cut"

woke up, found your lighter on the swing
shook it, but only found it empty
come on, you could have left me some at least
left to wonder, what this day will bring

your spells have me thrown off kilter
but i've learned it's only a matter of time
you'll break, the sun exposes lies
the heat will make your beauty wither

*it's not the same
some things just don't change
you're not the same
but some things never change*

i warned her, don't touch the thorn!
but her insides called your name
one scream, her body consumed in flames
now she'll speak of your valor no more

*it's not the same
some things just don't change
you're not the same
but some things never change*

it's the seventh wonder
it's a fruitless lover
that makes you slip out the back door
i just can't hear this no more

*it's not the same
some things just don't change
you're not the same
but some things never change*

this trigger's spent
pleasure came and went

Distelfink, Pheasant

"Distelfink, Pheasant"

she grips her leather jacket tight
honey, can't you keep warm tonight?
her face looks buffeted by the wind
better clean up, or i can't let you in

your dead on track, set to fight
it's too dark, honey, stand near the light
life ain't that hard, it's just broken
and my face isn't stern, it's just frozen

*see my fingers bleed?
i'm fine, my hands are clean
see what you don't see?
i'm fine, my hands are clean*

trace the stitches right to my heart
admire your work, i'm a new piece of art
you raise your axe up one last time
lie still, honey, i'll erase your mind

*see my fingers bleed?
i'm fine, my hands are clean
see what i don't see?
i'm fine, your hands are clean*

good night, my dear
good night, shine bright
good night, my dear
good night

Light Casts a Shadow

"Light Casts a Shadow"

your hands in your pockets
and lead in your shoes
time is a wasting
it's just up and run away from you
it was taken, stolen
you just wanna make a mess
but remember, you need to remember
remember to never forget..

you're my black shadow, baby!
you never saw it comin'
my glowing silhouette, baby!
and you never saw it comin'

strings through your wrists
and paint on your face
you're my favorite puppet
i can keep up this pace
you make me shiver
but it never ever lasts
you can't predict the weather
like me, it blows in too fast

so remember, remember
you can't outrun the facts

you're my black shadow, baby!
you never saw it comin'
say you love me, maybe!
i'll never see it comin'

so spin your tales!
i've got plenty of yarn

you're my black shadow, baby!
you're my glowing silhouette, baby!
you never saw it comin'
come on, say you love me, maybe!
i'll never see it comin'

so spin your tales!
i've got plenty of yarn
