I catch a glimpse of your shadow climbing the stairs
But when I turn to face it, there's someone else there
Soft and conspiratorial, you speak to me in my dreams
But when I wake the only sound is the wind in the trees
You've left a vacuum behind everywhere that you've been
I feel your absence every day like a cold gust of wind
Of all of the things that I've been thinking of
The only ones stronger than death are memory and love
What once had been joyful memories
Are now just a source of torment to me
There's no way of telling what the triggers will be
That will set off the flood that will overcome me
The parade of memories rushing up all comprise a sad revue
Of all the things that keep coming back
It seems the only thing that isn't coming back is you

I'm the Fucking Idiot

The sun won't come up, everything's been confused
So standing here facing east is of no use
If I'd have seen it coming I might have known what to do
I'd have done anything in my power just to see it through
But the way things unfolded it was impossible that
One could make it on through with a heart still intact
You said there was another, I never would have thought that of you
I'm the fucking idiot who put his trust in you
We stood side by side in an Orangeburg hall
Declaring our love before one and all
With vows we swore the world would never undo
I'm the fucking idiot who put his trust in you

Your idea of commitment applies to nothing but sin
When it's clear that your devotion has all the depth of stamped tin
Silence when there should have been a cacophonous din
If you sensed there was a problem, you'd think you'd have clued me in
Love is a lack of regard
Honor is travail
Cherish- abandonment
When all your wedding vows amount to are bullshit
When you first came to terms with what we were in danger of
I'd like to know what it was that you did to save our love
If leaving me was something that you felt you had to do
Then why couldn't you leave me before seeing someone new?
Love is a lack of regard
Honor is travail
Cherish- abandonment
When all your wedding vows amount to are bullshit

Disjointed, like a soul turned sideways
Away from the vows that bound us
Once made, then deemed not worth keeping
I can't comprehend your willful disregard
and all that it entails
I try but words just fail
Some answers, I know i'll never have
However long I try to find them
How did we get from being so in love-
The understanding times, the trust complete,
The laughter, the warmth, the kids
To ending up like this?

Heaven Underfoot

You can't hear my heart, quiet as ashes falling
Not like at the start, we were eagles soaring
A callous step once undertaken came to bear
Obdurate on the one who least deserved to feel it there
There were no words to give voice to what went on inside
The saddest thing I'd ever seen was the look in our boy's eyes
From strength to strength through it all we flew
Convinced that we'd always be me and you
But there is one thing that I can't see
If it meant as much to you, how could you trample on this?
You can't hear my heart, quiet as ashes falling
Not like at the start, we were eagles soaring
What'll I tell our boy, when he asks where the love went?
This is what it means to be painfully, a parent

You are not her
You are not her
Who the hell are you and what did you do with my wife?
It was a wondrous confluence
Beneath the gunpowder and sky
As we declared our dependence
The kids laughed and played, 4th of July
I had the feeling that I'd finally arrived
Finding my home in your eyes
One brilliant February morning
We held a miracle in our arms
Everything we'd shared together
Was now breathing, alive and warm
A depth of feeling that i couldn't hide
Convinced that I'd always be by your side
An amount of joy I'd never known there could be
That's what you meant to me
Goodbye, Lizzie

( Columbine)
Virgil, I need a drink
I've never felt it this dark before
I can't find my way home anymore
I just want this black, fucking soul crushing pain
To stop

I close my mouth and then I open my eyes
I want see you as you are, so take off your disguise
I'm not surprised
The embarrassed egos that we forge in our pain
Make mortal masks that we must wear because our souls are plain
It leaves me drained
The distance between men and women
The counterrevolutions we live in
The trials and errors of sharing
The casualties of caring
I close my eyes and then I open my heart
I want to love you and be loved, but that was not too smart
We're worlds apart
The superficial satellites that we are
Motion in distance so we feel closer to the stars
Like men from Mars
The distance between men and women
The counterrevolutions we live in
The trials and errors of sharing
The casualties of caring
I close my heart and then I open my mouth
I wasn't planning to say much and then this song came out
It's born from doubt
Embattled bureaucrats, we red tape our lives
Make tired statements and languish in our lies
And we don't try
The distance between men and women
The counterrevolutions we live in
The trials and errors of sharing
The casualties of caring

The Naked Drive Home

February found us heading south with all due speed
We went to work together in The Rhythm of the Sea
Everything that came between us,every obstacle we could see
Was washed away, piece by piece
Until all that was left was you and me
August was a furnace that incinerated lives
Fueled by degradation, heartless petulance and lies
Everything that I held dear I watched go up in smoke
Staring at the embers with no idea of where to go
Where is my home?
