Is this happenin' Am I really feelin' pretty in my own skin? I will let this all go to my head Another day I might regret this But tomorrow I could be dead
2.
Raven-Books 01:36
There's this photograph of a neon sign It reads books & it smells like the eastern air With a raven nearby My hand on your thigh We search the night for some comfort Most nights I'm spiralin'about The words they never seem to matter much Till you speak them aloud
3.
If I could... If I could be anywhere I'd wanna be with you Doesn't matter what we do As long as I've got you Recently I've been missin' you more than usual I'm not sure I can make it through this harsh world alone & If I could If I could feel anythin' I'd wanna feel your lips against mine If I could hold her Well I'd never let her go Recently I've been missin' you more than usual I know I can't make it through this harsh world alone
4.
On an endless search for a lover so kind I've maimed myself Searchin'between couches, cushions & covers For a kiss divine I swear I've found some layin'about before
5.
Let me take you for a walk Down to the garden just around the bend & let's sing a waltz "Out of nowhere out of our thoughts" Let me take you for a walk All things divine & fine Age like you a very fine wine If time be kind & you remain mine I promise to always be honest & on time Let me take you & if time be unkind & all things divine they fade from my mind Like your smile or the colour of your eyes & you are no longer mine & you are no longer mine & I hope you remember our waltz & I hope you still Hum our waltz

S.O.A.H 00:39
It is hard when you are on both ends of the blade It is just hard The days go on though With but a faint echo of the goodwill that was bid yesterday That fateful day when we spared one another's hearts
7.
there are but frantic scattered moments where i feel inclined to tell you what's goin'on inside my mind when i taste your porcelain the art you call skin i am lost-deep within i become translucent you can see right through me i put no fight up oh this is what you paid for i am learnin'to be what i've yearned for a sweet & secure dove a better person in a new love with you oh with you
8.
Temptress 01:57
Cause you're my raven-haired temptress My seamstress of fate & there is no great escape to be made I am at my end with love & I don't think No, I can muster another one Lovin'you is like livin'under a gun Never know when to run Cause you're my raven-haired temptress My seamstress of fate & she shot me down She shot me down My raven-haired temptress There is no great escape
9.
Capturin' 01:00
I am capturin'myself Through smoke & alcohol In every breath & sip I take I'm loosin' faith Loosin'face My skin dries out & I cry out
10.
When the final curtain closes where do we go? Oh no one knows But your friends all came to your show You kept them around to be the things that you couldn't be you lived vicariously And when the warm autumn fades Where do you leave to? Oh no one knows What do you long for? The mornin'dew upon your skin The crisp night air goin'through your hair Or the taste of blood in your mouth after a fight Where do we go?
11.
I've been thinkin'of what I should say & how for over a day now Forgot my own self-made vows Left to be dower & grey I take myself down a shade See the shadows as they lay across my face Time is takin'place A space in which I am sinkin'in Sinkin'in
