Read my lips and speak out loud
My fingertips are more than proud
To touch your skin, to feel your face
I'm drowning in your sweet embrace
Emptyness and Incompleteness
Endlessness and in-defeat-less
has never been this little
No longer I could spare a thought
You said I'm welcome any time
Be sure I know all flaws are mine
Your promises are never lasting
for longer than it takes to say them.
Ease my pain and say again...
Graceless
Is there a powder to erase this?
Is it dissolvable and tasteless?
You can't imagine how I hate this
Graceless
I'm trying but I'm graceless
Don't have a sunny side to face this
I am invisible and weightless
You can't imagine how I hate this
Graceless
I'm trying but I'm gone though the glass again
Just come and find me
God loves everybody, don't remind me
I took the medicine and I went missin'
Just let me hear your voice
Just let me listen
Graceless
I figured out how to be faithless
But it would be a shame to waste this
You can't imagine how I hate this
Graceless
I'm trying but I'm gone though the glass again
Just come and find me
God loves everybody, don't remind me
I took the medicine and I went missin'
Just let me hear your voice
Just let me listen
All of my thoughts of you
Bullets through rock and fruit
Come apart at the seams
Now I know what dying means
I am not my rosy self
I left my roses on my shelf
Take the white ones, they're my favorites
It's the side effects that save us
Grace
Put the flowers you find in a vase
If you're dead in the mind it'll brighten the place
Don't let 'em die on the vine, it's a waste
Grace
There's a science to walking through windows
There's a science to walking through windows
There's a science to walking through windows
There's a science to walking through windows without you
All of my thoughts of you
Bullets through rock and fruit
Come apart at the seams
Now I know what dying means
I am not my rosy self
I left my roses on my shelf
Take the white ones, they're my favorites
It's the side effects that save us
Grace
Put the flowers inside in a vase
If you're dead in the mind it'll brighten the place
Don't let 'em die on the vine, it's a waste
Grace
Grace
Put the flowers you find in a vase
If you're dead in the mind it'll brighten the place
Don't let 'em die on the vine, it's a waste
On a bus ride into town
I wondered out loud "Why am I going to town?"
And as I looked around at the billboards and the stores
I thought "Why do I look around?"
And I kissed the filthy ground
And in the first dry spot I found
And I didn't have to wonder why I was laying down.
Before long I was too cold
Took a bus back to the station
I found a letter left by a pay phone
With no return contact
And it read like a horn blown by some sad angel
"Bunny, it was me... it was me who let you down"
It was the shyest attempt I'd ever seen at conversation
If I didn't have You as my guide I'd still wander lost in Sinai,
Counting the plates of cars from out-of-state,
(how I could jump in their path as they hurry along!)
You surround me, you're pretty but you're all I can see,
like a thick fog - if there was no way into God,
I would never have laid in this grave of a body for so long.
And Bonner fair always came through the first week of September
But it's already the 19th
And there's no sign of it.
Yet I have a hard time
Remembering all the things that I should remember
And a hard time
Forgetting the all things that I am supposed forget.
Oh Christ when You're ready to come back
I think I'm ready for You to come back
But if You want to stay wherever exactly it is You are,
That's okay too - it's really none of my business.
If I didn't have You as my guide I'd still be wandering lost in Sinai
Or down by the tracks watching trains go by to remind me:
There are places that aren't here.
I had a well but all the water left
So I'll ask Your forgiveness with every breath,
If there was no way into God,
Like a tiger
Know how to lure you with my feline's touch
A trouble spider
Can make a trap to catch the one I want
But fine as a white dove
I'd do anything for the one I love
To get that one kiss
I'll wait patiently like a chrysalis
Just remember
That I can be strong and tender
Just remember and beware
Cause I know the way to break your heart
The way to tell a lie like you do
Oh yes
I know the way to make you cry
The way to give you doubts
Like you do
Satisfy me
Want you to treat me like I'm a queen bee
The woman in me
Just like a wild horse I need to run free
Like a butterfly
I can be sweet and very infantile
A viper, a cobra
I also can be viciously unkind
Just remember that I can be strong and tender
Just remember and beware
Cause I know the way to break your heart
The way to tell a lie
Like you do
Oh yes I know
The way to make you cry
The way to give you doubts
Like you do
I know the way to break your heart
The way to tell a lie
Like you do
Oh yes I know
The way to make you cry
The way to give you doubts
Like you do
(bridge)
I know
Just remember
I can do what you do
I know
Just remember
And beware
I know the way to break your heart
The way to tell a lie
Like you do
Oh yes I know
The way to break your heart
The way to tell a lie
Like you do
Oh yes I know
The way to make you cry
The way to give you doubts
Like you do
Cause I know
The way to break your heart
The way to tell a lie
Like you do
Oh yes I know
The sun is shining downtown.
It always wants to cry out loud,
But I'm a little too late.
Ye-ah, ye-ah.
The gun is testing your faith.
It always wants to shoot you down when you've already been slaved.
Don't you burn away,
Don't you feel ashamed.
Don't you take the blame.
I give my heart, and soul to the angels.
I give my blood, and bone to the faceless.
But in bright, and cold with the nameless.
And I, I give my life and love to you, graceless.
Your wish is spinning 'round.
It only wants to lie you, it never wants to come true.
This road that you found, it was buried light in your dreams with all your second-hand blues.
Do you need a clue, to stay?
Do you see a face, when you pray?
Don't you leave a trace,
Don't you sleep awake,
Don't do it for my sake.
I give my heart, and soul to the angels.
I give my blood, and bone to the faceless.
But in bright, and cold with the nameless.
And I, I give my life and love to you, graceless.
It's a time for a destination,
We were dealers, before we were out of rhyme.
I'm the one who is second-hand, ohh.
I give my heart, and soul to the angels.
I give my blood, and bone to the faceless.
But in bright, and cold with the nameless.
And I, I give my life and love to you, graceless.
I give my heart, and soul to the angels.
I give my blood, and bone to the faceless.
But in bright, and cold with the nameless.
So you came here alone and you're so confused
You don't know what to think or what to do
Your fresh along the way, to a very special day.
And your colors fly, when you fly with Christ.
And it's a beginning,
and it comes out in stages,
like the turning of pages.
I see a new light in your eyes,
And angels are singing,
as you're fluttering higher
in the heat of your fire.
And heaven is calling butterflies,
so butterfly fly.
You struck at the matchbox and it sparkled in you.
You're finally feeling someone who always knew.
And you problems seem smaller, the world is not taller than you are.
And your colors fly, when you fly with Christ.
And it's a beginning,
and it comes out in stages,
like the turning of pages.
I see a new light in your eyes,
And angels are singing,
as you're fluttering higher
in the heat of your fire.
And heaven is calling butterflies,
so butterfly fly. Butterfly, fly.
I can tell by the look on your face,
that you're feeling God here.
So take your ideas and ambitions of this,
to the real world where the average doesn't care.
And after your journey, you'll have so much to share.
After your colors fly, when you've flown with Christ.
It's a beginning,
and it comes out in stages,
like the turning of pages.
I see a new light in your eyes,
And angels are singing,
as you're fluttering higher
in the heat of your fire.
And heaven is calling butterflies,
Carousels twirl all around exited youth.
I do not mind at all.
We’re tonight in a world full of thrills - it can (come) carry me up,
far above it all.
It’s a long way down from here to the sound.
Watch the faces go ‘round
to the stars
then the ground.
Ferris wheels carried us away
not so long ago.
Times I’ve betrayed.
Where would we be now if I had taken your hand?
Well the years they pass by slow
don’t they?
It’s a long way down from here to the sound.
Watch the faces go ‘round
to the stars

See,
I put my faith in your arms,
This secret must not be betrayed !
I know I can Believe in you
So I am placing this child in yout trust
He is the apple of my eye
I know that you will devote
Your undivided attention to this uncommon child
He is a tresure,
He could...
He will become a man thanks to your help !
What an atypical present !
Thanks for your trust
I hope I will be up to this mission
Let me know what you are expecting from me.
I will do the best I can
To bring up this rosebud,
It will be dawned in a few years.
I will honour my commitments
As a man who have to obey the divine law
Quite a few years will be passed
When I decide to come back and check
That he is ready to pass the test and join me
In a whirlwind, the god Tyro disappeared
Leaving me facing the baby
Oh, God, what will I do ?
God, what is happening to me ?
I can not bring up this baby,
I am lacking in courage.
I could not succeed
In such a mission
I am just realising
What I am expected to prove
It must not be betrayed
Fragile as a crystal diamond
Chrysalis you will become a butterfly
Come on priest,
Take courage in both hands !
Baby, I will teach you the rules you need to know how to survive in our realm. I will offer you the way to become someone good, sensitive and reasoning, and not a simple puppet. I trust in you !
(a sweet wind opened the window)
Chrysalis will become a butterfly
Rosebud will be dawning soon !
Whatever happens,
I will keep you in my arms
Wherever you are coming from
You will be my son.
Take my lifeo matter what I will become
Because you are my child now !
Whenever you leave me
You will stay alone
Whoever you become
Pretending not to see the difference
You pass over the truth in silence
Preferring to sit on the fence
You bury your head in the sand
(You're) unable to affirm your deepest choices
For fear of not following the masses
Preferring not to speak your mind
You bury your life and play down
Will you remember to breathe?
Oh realise
You know the way
Oh release
Let your thoughts riot
Unglue your eyelids
Unblock your ears
There is enough oppression in here...
You fear exposure
But dream of expressing yourself at last
You censor your own thoughts
