Cardboard Girl

She showed up at my door
She wasn’t alone at all
She hid from me her core
She hid behind a wall
Her outfit was all cold
Her face a bright flower field
But from her lips were lies she told
And thorns that hurt, not healed
Cardboard girl, oh cardboard girl
Where’s your future bound?
Cardboard girl, oh cardboard girl
Your nature’s nowhere to be found
I welcomed her with open arms
She was my dreamed desire
She threw love to me on the wind
And stamped out my lonely fire
Her story was a picture book
While a ballad was my song
But once inside I took a look
And I saw where I went wrong
Cardboard girl, oh cardboard girl
Where’s your future bound?
Cardboard girl, oh cardboard girl
Your nature’s nowhere to be found
She told me she had passion
But in what way and what fashion?
She looked me right in my own eyes
And she put on a disguise
She said could see far
And showed how high she set that bar
But she really had no drive at all
So she never stood up tall
Cardboard girl, oh cardboard girl
Where’s your future bound?
Cardboard girl, oh cardboard girl
Your nature’s nowhere to be found
And as the water washed over her before my eyes
She melted on that lonely day and then I realized
Her entire existence had nothing to say
She was never really there anyway
And now I wonder how she feels
And who she stands up to
Talking as if she were real
And standing stiff as glue
She’s got her life cut out for her
Like she was from a box
She’s stuck in a endless capital stir
And drowning on the rocks
Cardboard girl, oh cardboard girl
Where’s your future bound?
Cardboard girl, oh cardboard girl
Your nature’s nowhere to be found

~Man From The Circus~
Brother won’t you help me
Brother where have you gone
Brother why did you go down
When the man from circus came to town
Where were you when I needed you
Why did you fade from view
Why’d you always bring me down
When you’d one day become a clown
Brother what’s your name now
Brother how bad does it hurt
Brother why are you nowhere
Why are you scattered everywhere
Where were you when I needed you
Why did you fade from view
Why’d you always bring me down
When you’d one day become a clown
~The Circus (instrumental)~
~Who Do You Love~
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Is it her or is it him?
Do you like where you have been?
The other day I came over to your home and I looked into your eyes
You said you had some things to do
You told me lots of lies
Then you went outside and you met with him
And he filled your glass up to the rim
You removed your disguise so passionately
And the two of you went at it with so much glee
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Is it her or is it him?
Do you like where you have been?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
You may think that you had chose well
But they’d both send you to hell
Then you bagged him up and stashed him away
And you told her you had so much to say
You pulled her close, whispered in her ear
“You’re really the only one for me, dear”
Then you loved her hard, til she turned all red
But later on she found him in your bed
Then you burned her down as she stood up tall
And she loved him dearly while she watched you fall
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Is it her or is it him?
Do you like where you have been?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Is it her or is it him?
Do you like where you have been?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Is it her or is it him?
Do you like where you have been?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
You may think that you had chose well
But they’d both send you to hell

Grave (Protect Yourself)

Everyone I know
Was here
But when the day ended
They couldn’t hear
As I watched them all
It was clear
One day I like them
Would disappear

Rain Star

Heart racing, myself pacing
I sit and wait out the storm
The moon hangs in the sky, the ground’s not very dry
Let the cold depart, make way for the warm
Lights in the sky, burning so bright
I wait for the morning sun
Lightning swirls around, lightning strikes the ground
Then my eyes are ripped right from skull
Slowly drifting, always lifting
I’m suspended in the air
Everything is born, while everything is gone
While nature starts the cycle all over again

Unempty

Won’t you please leave me unempty
Please don’t let me go
First you gave me things unending
But you never let me know
Oh you made me feel so lonely
You cast me out on a ledge
You taught me to hate the helpful
And to die an early death
Now I’m feeling so unempty
Since I let you go
You’re the worst thing to ever happen
But still I love you so
Oh still I love you so
