I'm sleeping soft tonight Keeping warm with crooked dreams The pennies of a dead man's eyes Never let my pockets weep And I'm sorry you had to know me When I'm so fit to be tied I'm such a mensch in my clothes But my plans are criminal So give me your hand in a quote I'll save your grim and single soul I'm hoping you're the type The kind that falls for every line The kind that sings along to all of my wrongs Too good to be a find Now honey, my time is money And you've come dressed in rags I'm such a mensch in my clothes But my plans are criminal So give me your hand in a quote I'll save your grim and single soul I'm such a mensch in my clothes But my plans are criminal So give me your hand in a quote I'll save your grim and single soul I'm such a mensch in my clothes But my plans are criminal So give me your hand in a quote I'll save your grim and single soul Mensch in my clothes But my plans are criminal So give me your hand in a quote I'll save your grim and single soul I'm such a mensch in my clothes But my plans are criminal So give me your hand in a quote I'll save your grim and single soul, single soul

Ohhh I, Don't know what to say And I, have told you lately That I'm tired of talking about the same old reasons we change Just take it easy don't worry about things these days Because I'm keeping it cool, not thinking about you, sticking around and if we should pay Tied down, looking around, I know what I want so don't hold me down Oh I, I don't play games And I, I have been learning To just to let it all go and stay quiet when I feel like speaking My mind on whatever it is I need to make clear and just say That I'm keeping it cool, not thinking about you, sticking around and if we should pay Tied down, I'm looking around, I know what I want so don't hold me down... Down... Down... Don't you hold me down Because I'm keeping it cool, not thinking about you, sticking around and if we should pay Tied down, I'm looking around, I know what I want so don't hold me down Oh I, I can't take it So please please please won't you listen To the troubles all around me, I'm caught up and I'm barely breathin But I'm finding that holding on is harder than never leaving Oh I, Oh Oh Oh Oh I, Oh I, Oh-Oh

In the blackest hole Hid the whitest hare With his pale, pink eyes You knew were once mine Bound by dying stars To a burning tree You give searing stares Tied up by your hair Where we used to meet To see how we would look In the dying lights Down the blackest hole Chase the wraith and flee For his pale pink eyes Still belong to me By a dying star To a burning tree You were bound by your hair And I left you there Where we used to meet To see how we would look In the dying lights Where we used to meet To see how good you look In my dying lights There With Me With the whitest hare With Me In the blackness With the pink eyes In the blackest hole Where we used to meet To see how we would look In the dying lights Where we used to meet To see how good you look In my dying lights Where we used to meet To see how we would look In the dying lights

War in every breath... If I remember this day when the war is through And all the fires that were leading to this Then I'll be civil in the corner I was backed into A lot slower to raise my fist I knew the fight was all in vain But I felt you falling Now I know my way Found a world of pain And cut it to fit in the place of my heart I cut it to fit in the place of my heart There is a crippling plague underneath this weight And I'm afraid that I know what it is Because the further we get from the way of truth The much further we descend the abyss I feel the venom pervade, demanding its way As you nailed me against that wall In your wrath you preyed on the hope I gave So now I'm praying for a final resolve I knew the fight was all in vain But I felt you falling down Why should I wait to feel the same When our fate is calling I found my truest way was not my way at all Save us when we fall.

You found me all alone You helped me build a home I had tried before Couldn't pick myself off of the floor And then you came Whispered my name You found me You found me in a dream Tangled, lost at sea I had tried before Always found myself looking for more But then you came Whispered my name You found me You found me all alone You helped me build a home I had tried before Couldn't pick myself off of the floor And then you came Whispered my name You found me

I tried to be happy i tried to be free I tried to accept you accepting me And i tried to escape the fate awaiting me And take times loose from my neck so i can breathe And this could be Just for fun, just for kicks Cause i've had one too many drinks And this heart cannot be fixed Cause i follow fear like faith And i'll dig until the day my life is saved My life is saved Saved Well i played up my virtue and hid my vice I'd only show you naughty if you first showed me nice Cause i thought i knew what a woman's work was I kept from view what you wanted most It was fun playing god And this could be Just for fun, just for kicks Cause i've had one too many drinks And this heart cannot be fixed Cause i follow fear like faith And i'll dig until the day my life is saved My life is saved Saved And this could be Just for fun, just for kicks Cause i've had one too many drinks And this heart cannot be fixed Cause i follow fear like faith And i'll dig until the day my life is saved My life is saved Saved Cause i follow fear like faith And i'll dig until the day my life is saved My life is saved Saved

We meet at the Broken Spoke Restaurant and Lounge I lit your cigarette then you wrote your number down. On the inside of a matchbook that was laying on the bar And a fire started burning somewhere in my heart I didn't see it coming, guess I didn't read the signs I just never thought you'd leave me after all this time. But today when I came home my key was hollow in the door And there was nothing but a worn out book of matches on the floor You took the bed; you took the dishes and the car And you broke my trust and you took advantage of my heart And you left me here with empty rooms and walls with holes, scars and scratches, If I find the strength to burn your memory down At least you left the matches. The color is old and faded; the cover's worn and stained I can still make out the numbers and the heart beside your name Until tonight they'd only lit a single cigarette Now one by one I'm striking them to help me to forget And everybody at the broken spoke They all thought my crazy story was a joke Now they're all out in the parking lot Staring at the smoke You took the bed; you took the dishes and the car And you broke my trust and you took advantage of my heart And you left me here with empty rooms of walls and holes, scars and scratches Now I found the strength to burn your memory down At least you left the matches. Baby all that's left of our love now is ashes Thank god you left the matches
