lyrics

Lament
She falls into the room Loose and lacquered lips Sinking battleships Squinting stoically At my embarrassing poetry The light is in my eyes Something I regret Kills my happiness Lover's last revenge Dying in the garage...

A Million Things
Looking out on Greenway Square You once said you love me here Whatever it was going through your head Is it dead? Is it dead? Now your picture's turned face down This music's just an empty sound This place, it holds no mystery for me. And I thought that I'd find something here A part of me I lost last year Beneath the cold stone monuments And broken glass A Heaven's send Anthony, Anthony I come up empty again... Cathedral far away from home Walls of alabaster stone A thousand miles and I can't run from you Is it true? Is it true? I mourn your passing like a death A million dreams, I set to rest A million things I want to say to you REPEAT CHORUS Looking out on Greenway Square Did you say you loved me here? Whatever it was going through my head, Is it dead? Is it dead?
