A Body, I Pray

There are bodies in the basement of the house I used to own
I thought I could escape them with the miles I had flown
But the past, it catches up to you just when you least expect
And it crumbles down around you and makes you the prime suspect
I've a problem in my pocket that keeps calling out my name
Nobody else can hear it and they're calling me insane
But the noise is deafening and there's a ringing in my ear
Everyone else must be deaf if I'm the only one that hears
The riddle to my answer, the question that I chose
At one time it was a baby, now I see that it has grown
Left a body in Helsinki, left a body in Berlin
I thought my problems were all over, now they're starting to begin
There's a book that I was reading all about how to get away
But in the end I had to burn it, it recommended that I pray
Feeling like I've got a fever and my neck's starting to sweat
Just run my hand through my hair and do my best to forget
The choice that's laid out before me is the path I have to choose
I wish that I'd gotten a winning one, but I know that I will lose
At the end of the day, though, it was only my and her
But I don't know what you'd expect from a violator

Please Don't Look Away

He spoke out of line
Don't give him the time of day
He asked again
Give it to him anyway
Keep him happy for now
The only way I know how
Says he's doing fine
Don't believe anything he'll say
Says he wants what is mine
Give it to him anyway
Like a man with a plow
Dragging it through the ground
Knowing the chances of rain are slim
Don't give into him
Now I can see what all of you mean
About how it's better to not be seen
Look behind the shades
Please don't look away
Says he's out of time
And lost in a sway
You know all about
The ignorance that he feigns
Got business to do
But he'd rather play
Pay attention to
The play for today
And then you remember
What you wanted to say
But he's standing still
And made out of clay

Rome

Home is burning
Rome is burning
Check on the survivors
See if they're alive
Home is burning
Rome is burning
Offer up some penance
Nobody survived

Tomorrow
03:45
|

Throw me down, and hold me tight
Protect me from the violent light
The yells, the screams
The burning trees
The fires burn so vividly
Memories, pain, sadness, and loss
It's all in the past, the thing that you cost
The future is now, it's time to go home
Meet your maker and say, "Hello!"
Tomorrow
They'll think we're lovers
Our bodies
Burned with the others
Tomorrow
Burning with the embers
And nobody
Left to remember
Clothes burned to bodies trying to get away
But all of us knew that we'd have to pay
The yells, the screams
The burning trees
The life that you will never lead
Tomorrow
The sky filled with soot and ash
And all of us gone
In one brilliant flash
