Standing on the truth I've found I make a noise but hear no sound You were running through the rain I brushed my hand around your waist I was stumbling through nervousness You looked up and I noticed your lips And after one day I was running too I held my mouth and I gave it to you I think you're wrong, I think I'm right For once in my life My life, my dear, I've learned to steer
3.
It was a song that made you shiver It was a song that made you want to stay oh no, oh no It was the saddest song I've written It was a song that I had called "Nothing" oh no, oh no And you made me feel, yeah you made me feel this way And you made me go and you made me want to stay It was your smile that made me shiver It was that smile that to this day I crave oh no, oh no It was your laugh that made me laugh back It was that laugh that made me go insane oh no, oh yeah And you made me feel, yeah you made me feel this way And you made me go and you made me want to stay And it all comes back, it all comes back It comes around in the end It all comes out, everything's out It's not hard now to pretend It was your arm across my shoulder It was the most sincere sign of embrace oh yeah, oh yeah And with your lips pressed against mine, it It was the icing on a liar's cake oh yeah, oh yeah And you made me feel, yeah you made me feel this way And you made me go and you made me want to stay And it all comes back, it all comes back It comes around in the end It all comes out, everything's out It's not hard now to pretend With everything now it's hard to believe that we still did it But immaturity it always wins When both parties are steeped in their sins The last thing you would do is resist

Mary 03:26
In your eyes I saw a liar Precious babe held close beside her You're a face that's clothed in mystery You're the anger deep inside me Oh, you were the best liar, Mary There's a hole you try to fill Buried bones and swallowed pills But don't you know it'll get you killed When the needle can't sit still Oh, you were the best liar, Mary
6.
There's always a sense of danger Lurking inside your horoscope They'll never get it perfect Just how you like it There's always a sense of menace Present in all religions What is it that they have got That you haven't got The last time that you really prayed And meant every word you said On your knees as a child On your knees wondering why And then you found a bigger world And the drugs and pretty girls Now God doesn't seem so real after all There's always a sense of faithlessness Present in a purge of faithfulness You gotta know how the opposites attract Your doubt stronger than your belief You base your ethics on mortality When you die, you will merely cease Or so you think Oh, the last ounce of your belief was spent Praying in the back of the car, Hoping she wasn't really going through with it after all And now her womb is full of wax and You're practicing your incest Of two liars, of two in denial Breeding atheists
7.
Tell me what you want from me Take all of our things and the kids When love splits, so does our stuff We wonder together if we ever were enough Oh, the couch is flipped over on the ground Those kids of yours are all out of town Let's get back to why we lied Broken glass and fallen vases With your face all over my face, it's Getting better as it's getting hard When love splits, so does our stuff We wonder together if we ever were enough Oh who knows?
8.
I'm gonna make a change But everything stays the same Everything will run its course Everything will run its course Everything will run its course In a vicious circle I want to hide away And come back out one day It will be beautiful It will be beautiful It will be beautiful It'll be beautiful Everything will run its course In the balancing of opposing forces In cycles

Goodbye 05:55
I am here and you are always there Lying on our backs with my fingers in your hair Now I'm back and tired of the lies I spit out You're away and full of patient doubt I tried in vain to hold you in my arms You never seemed so comfortable until you broke my heart Now I've got these pills to take and photographs to burn I never took it seriously until it hurt Distance is the lover of my ghost It never really mattered until it mattered most Now I've got to take my shoes and try a way to walk "Just hold my hand, we don't have to talk" One day I will say goodbye again I've learned to accept it because of how I've been I'll never cry in public and I'll wear a happy mask 'Cause any of these days could be my last Any of these days could be my last Any of these days could be my last

about

this was my first really ambitious project, took about a year for me to finish. still like it sometimes

"And that might be one of the biggest things about "Cycles"- is that it just feels so personal...Dead Name Blues is not continuing what others have started or following in their footsteps--they are creating their own unique path." -raisedbygypsies.com
