Love's a merciless cruel comedian
Save the name of this ache I'm feeling
Baby
I don't regret it
Lonely nights with the scissors waiting
Manic days with the cardboard crazies
Maybe
You couldn't get it
Love
I never wanted you
First time I fell it was a game of saving face
Love
Oh what's a boy to do?
You were defeated 'til I called you by my name
Thank the stars there's a purpose to it
Read a palm but you went and screwed it
Lately
I'm sleeping alone
Lonely nights with the guitars strumming
Blowing kisses or blowing something
Baby
I just needed you home
Love
I never wanted you
First time I fell it was a game of saving face
Love
Oh what's a boy to do?
You were defeated 'til I called you by my name
Love
The cancer eating me
Like a disease and death's the sole discovered cure
Yes love
Has tainted everything
Son of a fuck, I'm stuck, in what? I'm not so sure

There Is No Mercy

There is no mercy left for us
Late in the morning
We get out of bed just a little dead
Burning everything that we own
But we don't have nothing
There is no mercy left for us
Hands 'bove the button
We push it again then begin again
Killing everything we could save
No we stop at nothing
Whoa-oa
Is there a plan for this?
Whoa-oa
We can't be giving up
Today
The world returns to dust
There is no savior strong enough
There is no waiting
It's a funny thing when the bells a-ring
Angels loathe the shit that we throw
'Cause we aim for nothing
Whoa-oa
Is there a plan for this?
Whoa-oa
We can't be giving up
Today
The world returns to dust
There is no mercy left for me
There is no mercy

I Smoke Alone

It comes in droves when I dream of you
Holding gasoline that night we saw a Broadway show
You looked just past my eyes; it was a look I should have known
Your clothes were burning but you made me smoke alone
I'm blacking out to chase the pain away
Black was all you wore but I saw you in every shade
As the ashes in the alleys nearing Astor brushed your face
The buildings burning but you made me smoke alone
Made me smoke alone
The Eastern rivers shift their tides to kill the fires set by you
Smoke on the water, crumbling caissons, there was nothing I could do
I've gotta get back, I've gotta get back
To a place where none of the streets has your name
It comes in droves when I dream of you
Holding gasoline that night we saw a Broadway show
You looked just past my eyes; it was a look I should have known
Your clothes were burning but you made me smoke alone
And in the end you'll make a dance of it
Pale contorted figures bowing 'bove the charred remains
At the party, on the bridge, and in the sheets you say you've changed
A past you're burning so you'll always smoke alone
You'll always smoke alone

God-Fearing Man

Oh this I know
As my great sickness peered at ends
I was a friend with no one looking out for me
Adagio
Like Jacob wrestling whitest death
My dread was harm, yes all is harm when I believe
But I'm a God-fearing man
And I'm doing all I can
To fear no more
There is no death
Only moments filled with tears
I have those moments when my marrow feels like sin
I'm terrified
To wrestle fifty-something years
To peel the muscle from the bone and sin again
But I'm a God-fearing man
And I'm doing all I can
To fear no more
En arrière, to dance and fight may be the same
I'm moving slowly bending limbs until they break
To be afraid, to wrench a neck and make it art
To pirouette, I bet that's when the darkness starts
Hands and fingers, feet and collagen and I
Am born again, I'll get depressed, and then I'll die
I'll kill him in the streets; I'll hold him when there's nothing left to hold
I fear nothing
I fear nothing
I fear nothing at all
