(2000)	the everlasting gaze raindrops + sunshowers stand inside your love i of the mourning the sacred and profane try try try heavy-metal machine This time the imploding voice glass and the ghost children wound the crying tree of mercury with every light blue skies bring tears age of innocence

the everlasting gaze

you know i'm not dead

you know i'm

you know i'm not dead

you know i'm not dead



now you know

where i've been

as you sleep

shine i am



waiting down

patiently

born of love



you know i'm

you know i'm not dead

i'm just living in my head

forever waiting



on the ways of your desire

you always find your way

and through it all

into us all you move



forgotten touch

forbidden thought

we can never ever know



you know i'm not dead

you know i'm

you know i'm not dead

you know i'm not dead



down below

the creatures scream

stranglehold

of God's machines



begging to



tear us out



all is whole (?)



you know i'm

you know i'm not dead

i'm just the tears inside your head

forever waiting



on the ways of your desire

you always find a way

and through it all

into us all you move



forgotten touch

forbidden thought

we can never ever know



you know i'm not dead



we all want to hold in the everlasting gaze

enchanted in the rapture of a sentimental sway

but underneath the wheels like the skulls of every cog

the fickle fascination of an everlasting god



you know i'm not dead



i'm just living in my head

forever waiting

forever waiting a cruel death



you know i'm not dead

i'm just living for myself

forever waiting



you know i'm not dead

you know i'm not dead

you know i'm not dead

you know i'm not dead







raindrops + sunshowers

rain falls on everyone

the same old rain

and i'm just trying to

walk with you

between the raindrops



i send my echo out

to get your love with power

obscured reflections of

my love



rain falls on everyone

the same old rain

and i'm just trying to

walk with you

between the raindrops



i'll save a prayer for you

so lost and longing to

we tread the dirty streets

wrapped up in clean white sheets

and if you think they'll want you now

you should know they won't



rain falls on everyone

the same old rain

and i'm just trying to

walk with you

between the raindrops

and i'm just trying to

walk with you

between the raindrops



i send my echo out

to get your love with power

obscured reflections of

of my secret love

force down the words I’ve found

to get your love with power

obscure reflections of my love

and i'm just trying to

talk to you...

between the raindrops



rain falls on everyone

the same old rain



and i'm just trying to

walk with you...

between the raindrops



rain falls on everyone

the same old rain

and i'm just trying to

walk with you

between the raindrops



and i'm just trying to

walk with you...

between the raindrops







stand inside your love

you and me

meant to be

immutable

impossible



it's destiny

pure lunacy

incalculable

insufferable



but for the last time

you're everything that i want

and ask for

you're all that i dream



who wouldn't be the one you love?

who wouldn't stand inside your love?

protected and the lover of



a pure soul

and beautiful...you



don't understand

don't feel me now

i will breathe for the both of us



travel the world

traverse the skies

your home is here

within my heart



and for the first time

i feel as though i am reborn

in my mind

recast as child, in mystic sun



who wouldn't be the one you love?

who wouldn't stand inside your love?



(guitar solo)



and for the first time

i'm telling you how much i need and bleed for

your every moment

wakin’ sun in my time

i'll wrap my wire around your heart and you're mine

you're mine forever



who wouldn't be the one you love...and live for?

who wouldn't stand inside your love...and die for?

who wouldn't be the one you love?







I of the mourning

radio, play my favorite song

radio, radio

radio, i'm alone

radio



radio, please don't go

radio



appear at the gardens on empty streets

behind a wall of color i teach

no one's out there

in here if i care

about the troubles in the air



cause i of the mourning now come

pick up with my thoughts left down

cause i've hoped to die on my own

just like



radio, plays my favorite song

radio, radio

radio, don't you know

radio, radio

radio, i'm alone



(guitar solo)



i blow the dust off my guitar

in the attic with the stars

i read your letters

to feel better

my tears upon the faded ink



cause i of the mourning now come

pick up for my thoughts left down

cause i've hoped to die on my own

just like



radio, plays my favorite song

radio, radio

radio, i'm alone

radio, radio

radio, please don't go



ascend on dark light



to wait for ghost night

to bring the past alive

to make ourselves to lie

cause i have survived



what is it you want?

what is it you want to change?

what is it you want?

what is it you want to change?

what is it you want to change?



radio, radio

radio, radio

radio, radio

radio, radio

radio, radio

radio, radio



what is it you want?

what is it you want to change?

what is it you want?

what is it you want to change?

what is it you want to change?

Papa Time, what's our mission?

do we know? we never listen

for too long they held me under

but i hear it's almost over



in detroit

on our memphis trail

like you said it's



down in the heat

at the summer rain

on the automatic gauze of your memories

down in the sleep at the airplane races



try to hold on

to this heart

a little bit longer

try to hold on

to this love, alone

try to hold on

to this heart

a little bit colder

try to hold on

with this love



paperback scrawl your hidden power

written around the dried out flowers

here we are still trading places

but try to hold on



Papa Time, can you envision

a free world, a clear division

for too long they held us under

but i know we're getting over

in detroit with the nashville tears

like you said it's



down in the heat with the broken numbers

down in the gaze of solemnity

down in the way you held together



and tried to hold on

to this heart

a little bit closer

try to hold on

to this love, alone

try to hold on

to this heart

a little bit older

try to hold on

to this love, alone



we are still alive

try to hold on

and we all survive

try to hold on



no one shall deny

you tried to hold on

to the force of your feedback powers

into the flow of your cryptic movement

slapback hills the ancient remnants

and try to hold on



try to hold on

to this heart alive

try to hold on

to this love alone

try to hold on

and we are still alive

try to hold on

and we will survive

try to hold on

Papa Time you never listen

skin deep

try to hold on

summer storm what's our mission

skin deep

try to hold on

heavy metal machine

if i were alive

if i would rule

would you survive?

what would you do?



heavy metal

heavy metal machine

it's in the middle

of our broken dreams



let me die

rock and roll

let me die

to save my soul

let me die

let the world

forgive the past

that all the girls

and boys will ask

let me die

would my records sell?

will i survive?

is it up to me?

could you understand?

that it's not yours to keep

this time

this time i need to know

i really must be told

if it's over



it's up to you you know

the things you want to hold

are in pieces

 

crashing down, crashing down again

crashing down, crashing down my friend

 

i've got to move it on

i've got to sing my song

while i still can

 

these past few last alarms

hand out the last few charms

so surprising

 

only love, only love can win

crashing down, crashing down again

only love, yeah, only love will win

crashing down, crashing down again



this time i need to know

i really must be told

that it's over



i've lived my life alone

my every step foretold

to let it linger

 

and yet it hurts me so

what are we letting go?

the spell is broken

 

crashing down, crashing down my friend

crashing down, crashing down again

only love, yeah, only love will reunite

yeah only love will win

 

for every chemical you trade a piece of your soul

no return

and who you think you know

doesn't know you at all

the trade is needless

 

someday we'll wave hello

and wish we'd never waved goodbye

to this romance

 

we'll drink up every life

and shoot up everyone

till there's no more

 

crashing down, crashing down my friend

only love, only love can win

so cry these tears

we're cryers, all

we have so long

to fall apart

as the curtain falls

we bid you all goodnight







the imploding voice

everywhere you are

is everywhere you've been

just lost in your need

punching through your skin



you don't know what to do

but still you want to crawl

all through the broken glass

it's everywhere you are



your love must always be true



your love must always be you

everywhere you are

anywhere you go

even if you're slow

it matters what you do

even if you’ve gone too far

you can follow you

everywhere you are



and in your mind

you are alone

all this time

with everything you are

and every smile you want



still locked in your heart

everywhere you are

everywhere you are

every single shot

everywhere you are



you're never too far

’cause anywhere you go

even to the stars



all you have to do

is play the part of who you are

the rest is up to you



[??]



by yourself

[??]



on the shelf

eyes are blind

[??]



you’ve been shown



everywhere you are

and everywhere you go

even if you’re down



even if you're blown

it's in the thought of you

it's in the eyes of all

i start the story past (?)

it's everywhere you are



your love must always be true

your love must always be you

everywhere you are

anywhere you go

even if you're a star

it's all a part of you

whatever should you fall in, down

you can never lose me



everywhere you are

everywhere you are..









glass-the ghost children

to the center of Eden

or anywhere God decides

for the feeble belief of

we hear a calling as all



to the center of Eden

as it breaks it in

DNA is rechanneled

to your frequency



i want to live

i don't want to die

i want to live

i want to try



all the prayers

prayer and die (?)

all of us scared

scared of...(?)



black rooms are calling

to men in leather coats

white lambs are cooking

up the silver ghost



the glass migrates under



a translucent skin

and all the spiders wonder

what we've got us in



all this you

you are i

all with you

you and i



i want to live

i don't want to die

i want to live

i want to try

(segment with billy talking to a psychologist):

"so it's all very obtuse because it's like all like...like,

i don't know...it's like i started thinking that

everything i operate on is based on what i believe god is

telling me to do...that could be my intuition or whatever,

but i always assumed - i always assumed that the voice that

i hear is the voice of god...then i started thinking,

'what if i am insane?' so i'm operating on the premise that

i am hearing the voice of god or what i perceive god

to be speaking to me or through me, but maybe i'm completely...so

all my kind of demagoguery in my life about me thinking that

my life has importance, my thought of it...based on the fact

that i believe that i'm following my intuition,

which, in and of itself, may be completely false...so

then i started freaking out,thinking...

that you've got this totally insane creature who believes that he's

acting upon kind of heavenly

intuition but meanwhile, he's

totally rampant...and i started thinking maybe

this is the cause of all the negativity..."



(part 2 of the song: The Ghost Children):



so beats the final coda

of our vinyl storm

and one more cherry cola

to lift up her dead arm



i dream of some focused sunsets

filters through the din

we are losing contact

as she dials it in



she can hear Glass calling

or is it someone

that looks like him



she eyes TV reflection

and nods a knowing look

she says it doesn't matter

she never liked her looks



i have seen a thousand fractions

i have seen everything



cause knowing is its own answer

to love something in a book



there's not much left to ponder

not much left to cook



as she counted the spiders

as they crawled up inside her







wound

there you are

as you always were

you're bathed in light

and naked flowers (?)



you're a part of me

eternal love

my grand desire

and setting sun



if you wait i will wait

taste i will taste

if you love i will love

run i will run

to my last breath



last night i turned around and thought i saw myself turning

inside the strangest dream a life i loved and cities burning

awake in my arms

you cry i'm home

our age of the hours

when they still devour it all



so take it all

i doubt if we

will know it's gone

cause we've been here

since time began

they've gone away

and made these plans



wound opens

reveal this broken man

as soon these notions

with blood on his hands





if you wait i will wait

taste i will taste

if you love i will love

run i will run

to my last breath



last night i turned around i thought i saw myself turning

last night i turned around i thought i watched the world ending

inside the crashing down i felt the pain the tide was turning

destroyed in their wake the jealous in grace

we'll tear this world down despite god i vow



if it's over

if it's over

if you wait

if you wait

if you wait i will wait

taste i will taste

if you love i will love

run i will love

to my last breath

 





the crying tree of mercury

this is the song

i've been singing my whole life

i've been waiting like a knife

to cut open your heart

and bleed my soul to you

I did it all for you



you and you were

you were you



this is the sound

i've been making my whole life

i've been waiting for this night

to clear up all the talk

although i'm selfish to a fault

is it selfish? it's you i want



you, i did it all for you



this love

will stand as long as you

there's really no excuse

i did it all for you



these are the tears i've been crying my whole life

like an ocean of desire

i reach in through the noise

across the dust in time

within the lilted lies

i am singing out to you









with every light

taking over, we're taking over

throw the weight up off your shoulders now

that we can show our love



it's almost over, it's almost over

no more war and no more soldiers

to stand against his love



away

with all the troubles that you've hate

away

with waiting for another day

away



look ma the sun is shining on me

impatient, in love, and aching to be

could you believe in heaven if heaven was all you had?



we're taking over, we're taking over

throw away your four leaf clovers

and stand beside this love



away

with everything you've grown to hate

away

with anything that holds you safe

away



and every light i've found

is every light that's shining down on me

every light i've found

is every light that's shining down on me

every light i've found

is every light that's shining down on me

i'm never alone



look ma the sun is shining on me

taking the time to do as i please

could you believe in heaven if heaven was all you had



the sun is beaming, radiatin'

all the love we are creating

we are creating



and every light i've found

is every light that's shining down on me

every light i've found

is every light that's shining down on me

every light i've found

is every light that's shining down on me

every light i've found

is every light that's shining down on me

i'm never alone





blue skies bring tears

unleash the armageddon

so all the children go to heaven

i sit by quiet, still, with their pictures on my eyes



we'll draw the doves you’re given

write down the words as written

and never disturb the presence of resurrection



it's about time

it's about drawing near

blue skies bring tears

blue skies bring tears



descend the darkened stairways

vacate the plastic playthings

and fire off remaining traces of your self esteem



mainline the deepest secrets

lick clean the dirty fingers

i am a stranger to you

as you are to yourself



and it's about time

it's about fear

blue skies bring tears



don't you want me



some old ways

suicide

we'll watch to see such times

blue skies bring tears



take me inside your body

cover me with your soul

to the darkest recess

is where i wish to go

 

you are the sweetest flower

i have ever devoured

i ask for nothing given

nothing in return



blue skies bring tears









age of innocence

need the smells



the backroads

ride these streets unafraid



reason to

scrape in pain

from our bones

unashamed



no more the eye upon you

no more the simple need



desolation yes

hesitation no

desolation yes

hesitation no

as you might have guessed

all is never sure

desolation yes

hesitation no



and in my prayers

i dream alone

silent speech

to deaf ears



if you want love

you must be love

but if you bleed love

you will die love



no more the light upon you

cast a stone out of shame



desolation yes

hesitation no

desolation yes

hesitation no

as you might have sensed

we won't make it home

desolation yes

hesitation no



before the rites of spring

come to mean all things

a little taste

of what may come

a mere glimpse of what has gone

cause for the moment we are free

we seek to find a release

too young to die

too rich to care

too fucked to swear that i was there



desolation yes

hesitation no

desolation yes

hesitation no

as you might have guessed

we won't make it home

desolation yes

hesitation no
