And Heaven Turned to Her Weeping - John Maus
The flowers are dying
Now that you've left me
There's no one to hold anymore
The city is haunted
And nobody loves me
The flowers are dying
Now that you've left me
There's no one to hold anymore
The city is haunted
And nobody loves me
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why can't it be mine?
Do you know the words that make the hidden door open?
Can you speak my secret name and fix me?
I have no heart, I have no brain
Lord I have no courage
Can you get me home again?
Don't speak,
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Carved out of stone
Earth, blood and bone
They knock the mountains down
The earth's grating sounds
And amidst a sea of red, I'll think of the words you said
Oh and it's hardest in the snow Wondering which way to go Though the spring will come with time, I have lost this love of mine
Goodbye lovers and friends
So sad to leave you
When they lie and say “This is not the end” you can laugh as if we’re still together, you can laugh about it all
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
It's like the sky opened and God handed you directly to me, I know it sounds crazy, but so is life,
I'm sinking and feeling like your heart is beating solely for me
Unlikely, impossible, I couldn't dream to think it
I never knew time passed so slow
I wish I'd never met you, or that I could bear to let you go
At dead of night, 'til break of day
Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake ,it's much too late
All the wants you waste, all the things you've chased
And it all crashes down , and you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing, just to play the king
But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name
Experiences have a lasting impression
But words once spoken, don't mean a lot now
Belief is the way , the way of the innocent
And when I say innocent,
I should say naive
You've got a warm heart
You've got a beautiful brain But it's disintegrating
From all the medicine
I saw your picture hanging on the back of my door. Won't give you my heart, no one lives there anymore.
And we were lovers , now we can't be friends, fascination ends, here we go again.
All of the things that we sometimes forget , All of the dreams that you put in my head
I'm still asleep, but there's breakfast in bed
These are the things that could make us official
Your promises are all played out
You've got your wish, You've worn me down
I've treated you the best I could I realize that I don't need you
Night after night, search for the light. Relive the fear and misery, disguise the pain.
The blood will wash away, but the wounds still sing of your agony
She is smiling like heaven is down on earth.
The Sun is shining so bright on her. And all her wishes have finally come true.
And her heart is weeping. This happiness is killing her.
I think I saw you in my sleep, darling, I think I saw you in my dreams
You were stitching up the seams on every broken promise that your body couldn't keep.
I think I saw you in my sleep
The Atlantic was born today and I'll tell you how... The clouds above opened up and let it out. I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere When the water filled every hole. And thousands upon thousands made an ocean, Making islands where no island should go.
You could be my unintended choice to live my life extended You could be the one I'll always love
You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one I'll always love
Nothing is harder than to wake up all alone
Realize it's not okay, It's the end of all you've known
Time keeps passing by, but it seems I'm frozen still
Scars are left behin, b ut some too deep to feel
Smoking cigarettes on the roof You look so pretty and I love this view
Don't bother looking down We're not going that way
At least I know, I am here to say
I know we're just disease
A bloody cyst, what will you live for,
What will you die for,
Protect the cure in me
Baby, I know
We'll celebrate the fucking rain
Just because we don't feel flesh
Doesn't mean we don't fear death
I was raging, it was late
In the world my demons cultivate
I felt the strangest emotion but it wasn't hate, for once
Yes I'm changing, yes I'm gone
Yes I'm older, yes I'm moving on
It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen
In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs,
nd their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are dying
