DEVICS - MY BEAUTIFUL SINKING SHIP
HEART AND HANDS
keep close
darling got me
he moves slowly from me
he's cold
your eyes on me
he won't know that you got me
sound asleep it's everything I want it to
in the light it fades away
hold a dream and turn it into grey
last night I slept
blowing rooftop
fell over edge falling
woke up
sound asleep he's everything I want him to
iIn the light he is what he is
hold him tight and watch him fade away
love is this running
am i stopping
will you hold
love am i running
i'm not stopping
not for nothing
love i'm just running
i'm not stopping
not for no one
keep close your eyes on me
as I go darling lost me
MY BEAUTIFUL SINKING SHIP
this is it tow the line
we barely made it back this time
on the deck half open eyes
looking up to see the sunlight
swing and sway
and we sail away
oh my ship is a big black stain
in this sea of fish and fame
tears and holes in the sails
she's gold but getting frail
we'll just keep taping up the floor
ignore the water and hope for the shore
water’s a-seeping in
and the ship is filling
all the oars have gone off course
but loyally we stay aboard
is this the end the top for me no
chin up stiff lip
just wait and they'll give
oh my my my
i'm a stone
i can't unleash my bells
can't unleash my bells
my ship can't find it's way home
my ship can't find it's way home
my ship can't find it's way home
my ship can't find it's way home
YOU IN THE GLASS
deep in the woods
it was grey all around
only one rose
that never was meant to be found
"this is for my love who is no longer here"
inside these words were written in ink and tears
first story from you
now you awake when i begin to dream
i open my eyes and you turn off machines
you should be here with me
i know you are near
in through my hearts twisting and winding chords
there is a place where love soaks in all its pores
under the sea deep in it's water core
you will find me weightless and waiting
in a car at night for a long way home
the saddest song on the radio
her in your arms on the seat next to me
reflection in glass wishing she was me
all happy with you
cause you should be here with me
i know you are near
THE MAN I LOVE
(by George & Ira Gershwin)
YOU COULD WALK FOREVER
the walk that walks
and takes me forever
leads me down the road to never
the shoes that take me don't matter
and i've been walking forever
you could wear fancy clothes
you could hope that i wear your rose
but inside i know what's true
and baby it's not you
the walk that I've been walking forever
to make sure no one finds me ever
i could wear pretty clothes
and i could wear your rose
but inside you know the truth
you know... i'm not like you
ALONE WITH YOU
something has to change
something has to give
i could re-arrange my mind
and what i did
if i were to choose
either way i loose
I could be alone
or be alone with you
empty space
to fill an empty place
everything i see
is meaningless to me
if it's how you feel than it's real
was i wrong to just go on and on
you never knew that i was gone
what does that say of me
you never thought that i
only needed you
just for a little while
empty space
to fill an empty place
everything i see
is meaningless to me
you make me tired
life wants to live
you just want to watch it
WHY I CHOSE TO NEVER GROW
does he know
all my woes
he watches from above
iIn his time a sickly mind
and sick i understand
he took the car and closed the door
turned on the heat
and with a bullet in his hand
goodbye baby
all his doubts fears and clouds
infect me more with time
and why I chose to never grow
is mine
now you know what you could do
make the angels watch with you
when my time comes
take the road to you
just he knows
strange things grow
to please my tired mind
now his eyes become my eyes
LIVING BEHIND THE SUN
i can't wake up from the dream of a girl
who stopped loving me
carelessly she took to the sky
and left me behind
into the night
she flew from my side
her voice faded from my head
i can't believe what's happening to me
my body lives on but my soul is dead
somewhere between the sun and the night
you changed your mind
nothing's the same
and nothing has changed
i still wait like a fool
steady she goes full speed ahead
a cloud of black smoke chokes me in my bed
too weak to let go
too strong to give in
all that i've wanted is lost once again
i torture myself every that minute that goes by
you're throwing the bait and my heart slowly dies
boiling and red you finish me off
you lie through your mouth
and i see it in your eyes
somewhere between the sun and the night
you changed your mind
nothing's the same
and nothing has changed
i still wait like a fool
FORGET TOMORROW
lonely nights like an endless spire
they don't take me higher
they just bring me down
frozen heart
maybe I could love you
if you feel the coldness you could sit by me
please don't go
stay and close the door
stretch the night out
forget tomorrow
it was bright 'til he brought the darkness
when i saw him pass without a single word
fragile heart and i tried to love him
but i couldn't love him maybe i can't love
so my friend
can't we just pretend
live the moment
forget our sorrows
it's the sound and the words your mouth make
all the stories you fake and they're just for me
it's your heart and the way i see you
and the way you see me
maybe we could love
please don't go
stay and close the door
live the moment
forget tomorrow
LOST AT SEA
we sailed for so long
i had forgotten the way home
sometimes when i look at the sea
my thoughts turn to you
i guess this will have to do
while i sail alone
beneath a sky of blue
no land in sight not a bird above
only this tiny vessel i have
please don't wait for me
GOLD IN THE GIRL
you know me so well now
there's nothing more to tell now
so you know all about my dad
and the fucked up life we had
If i cry you're scared that i
might never lift my eyes
but when i'm hard you say i'm cold
the walls are up the gates are shut
well guess what you're right
you're right you're right
so just leave me alone
now i'm five and i know I'm alive
cause I've been beaten and shown
and this is my home
i'll just go deep in my room
far from all of you
all the tears i've saved for years
in wells of gold i drown
so now you see it's hard for me
to let them go so easily you're right
i’m cold the doors are closed
so just leave
you're right I'm cold the doors are closed
I've made my bed and you'll lie in it
and if I go down down down
i will take you all with me
I BROKE UP
when I was young I dreamt of days
when I'd be old and far away
i never knew those family fights
would be replaced by lonely nights
lonely nights my lonely nights
i live in them in my blue light
i dream of days when i'll have you
i wonder if you’re lonely too
out of bed she paints for hours
this girl has had to see the bad
she knows the value of a heart
still she breaks fall apart
fall apart i fall apart
right out of sleep and into dark
and in the dark a dim lit star
that shines right over where you are
lonely nights my lonely nights
i live in them in my blue lights
i dream of days when i’ll have you
i wonder if your lonely too
when you walk these lonely streets
if i'm not there think of me
HEAVEN PLEASE
heaven please
i have fallen
on my knees
and out of your arms
take me back
i am good now
heaven please
i have given everything
to sing for you
give some back
let me love now
what’s the game
please stop pretending
that you don’t hear me
heaven please
come down and save me
and bring that man to me
heaven please
i been walkin
gates who’s entrance i am denied
let me in
let me in now
heaven sweet
i am crawling
at your feet i been true to you
paid my dues
say i’m through now
la la la la la la la la la la…..
FIVE SECONDS TO HOLD YOU
five seconds to hold you
then you'll slowly vanish from my arms
please don't speak or break this spell
you know it doesn't matter
five fathoms below you
i've waited a lifetime
but as you drift by over me
you know it doesn't matter
five years without you
they couldn't tear a moment from my mind
memories fade and so did yours
you know it doesn't matter
BLOOD RED ORANGE
blood red orange sun
the world runs
slowly around me
slowly around me
stars in my eyes
oceans in yours
i'll do it my way
i'll do it my way
is that what you do?
is that what you do?
