The Muse 04:19
The angry night awaits outside, bent on engulfing me But here inside your eyes am I-- a safe haven made for me I want you to know how my heart bleeds to be held by you Loved by you And to make it through the night I want you to know how I can't breathe with you close to me These faded tears might surface tonight As I face the sleepy ocean And these three insipid stares I am filled with new emotion I could leave my body here But I fear the only way to touch you Is through the skin that has captured me I can't quell these jealous shadows But my heart dances within me You're my fount of inspiration You're the muse that sings for me I can't quell these jealous shadows My heart dances within me I want you to hang onto me Let our flesh melt together in sweet agony

Hopes Fall 03:57
This feels like something I've felt before Too many times before This feels like hitting my head on the floor Weighed down by too many feelings- regret and revenge And yet I stand, arms at my sides For two seconds I hoped it was different I thought something good and then gave up once more It's happened too many times and I trained myself not to cry And yet here am I And the tears pour down It's over, it's over before it starts And I had no chance to win your heart Your face, your face I will never kiss And your arms, your arms- how I hate this Watching you knowing I'll never know what it would be to know your deepest hopes I feel like taking a dose of this perilous medicine And knowing no more, knowing no more, knowing no more, knowing no more And the tears pour down I'm alone, I'm alone It never starts, it will never start I will never know And I'll never hold you I'll never kiss your forehead, kiss you goodnight And I fall, that's all This is all I'll ever know Hopes fall It's all I will ever know This is perilous water I've crossed it before and I'll cross it once more And it's over, it's over before it starts And I crave your heart But my grave is hard And this feels like something I've felt before, yeah Too many, too many times before This feels like something I've felt before, too many times before This feels like hitting my head on the floor

So Deep 06:41
"I'm better off without you," is the pretty phrase I play with when you tell me you don't love me and you've taken all my happiness away, away And suddenly I'm lonely, but I'll never let you see because I don't want you to know that you were everything to me, to me And I'll take my chances on my own If I can't be alone with you, then I'll just be alone And tell and tell and tell myself I'm better off without you I'm better off without you I'm better off without you I'm better off without your arms around me Without your light about me And life is good again I tell myself it's never been so wonderful as now that you are gone And now that I can see behind your face And see in space that up or down- there's no such place Such love has never been more wrong, more wrong And I feel better now that I can see Clearly, I know better now than to fall in love so deep In love so deep Tell myself it will all be alright I tell myself it will be just fine And yell and yell and tell myself I'm better off without you I'm better off without you I'm better off without you I'm better off without you
