big leaves in the garden aren't what we planted
seeds from our dreams in our hands become leaves
although i try when i wake i wanna be so strong
i take pills just so i can get along
big leaves in the garden are grown before we parted
big leaves in the garden are grown before we parted
big dreams in my head wanna sing till I'm dead
now I'm alone and I'm strong to the bone
coughing up things like smoke rings and diamonds
with my feline friends companions to the end
companions to the end
big leaves in the garden aren't what we planted
dead weeds in the garden aren't what we planted
big dreams in the garden are what we planted
big dreams in my head wanna sing till i'm dead

laying facedown on the tile i remember life as a child
all my family living happy
but reality didnt know me then
but what has life come to now
hospital beds mothers on edge crying now
dad cant comprehend so im there for her now
laying facedown on the tile i remember life as a child
all my family living happy
but reality didnt know me then
twenty five years and life falls apart
no money just songs and heart
but thats not enough
to keep this up
to keep things going
this life now
this is life now

the face

the wolf face on the hill side laughs at my disguise
he'll never be free like me
the wolf face on the hill side laughs until he cries
he'll never be free like me
till you run as fast, as fast as you can
and you lift all fours like he can
the wolf face on the hill side laughs at my disguise
he'll never be free like me
the wolf face on the hill side laughs until he cries
he'll never be free
he looks you right in the eyes
as he contemplates your demise
the wolf face on the hill side laughs at my disguise
he'll never be free like me
the wolf face on the hill side laughs until he cries
he'll never be free like me

i cleaned it up for the last time
this frozen month might be our deadline
ive never been so cold in my own house before
i've never felt so low and loved you more
i'm always yours
the family grows then separates their skin from bone
the plans we made to decorate our home
with novelties of no personal growth
its what you give and what i owe
its what you give and what i owe
i'm always yours

empty arms

empty arms protrude from my body
hold me tight i love when you hold me
my pulse is like a cricket in the night all alone
a fence to divide property lines blows down in the storm
we'll see how well things go when you're waiting for noone
we'll see how well things go when you're waiting for noone
and isn't it funny how people like things
become obsolete objects in spite of their dreams
and what makes me different is whats in my blood
it's the pain that i hold when i know
nothing is enough
nothing is enough
how will things go when you're waiting for noone?
we'll see
how well things go when you're waiting for noone
we'll see.....

yellow curl
smoke fills the air and im gone
the pale phantom girls have all been forgotten
summer never comes and u just cant wait for autumn
constant restrictions you place on yourself just to break them
why does it feel so bad when you do this to yourself?
who is the better man while I'm lying just to pull thru this
i'm lying just to pull through this
