Broken Glass

Broken glass, imagined or real?
Cause when I wake, water is steel. *
But tonight could be the best one yet.
So just relax, don't get so out of breath.
You don't know,
You're not even there.
I'm sorry dear, could you speak clearer?
The poison's in my veins.
I know I said what I never meant,
But this animal can't be contained
When the poison's in my veins.
Broken glass, shut up, open wide.
Just sit back, enjoy the ride.
Stars tonight, the brightest yet.
Why can't I catch my breath?
I don't know how I got here.
I'm sorry dear, could you speak clearer?
The poison's in my veins.
I know I said what I never meant,
But this animal can't be contained
When the poison's in my veins.
I'm aware I'm slipping,
And the pace is quickening.
The sweetest embrace,
I long for the taste.
I'm sorry dear, could you speak clearer?
The poison's in my veins.
I know I said what I never meant,
But this animal can't be contained
When the poison's in my veins.
I'm sorry dear, my mind's not here.
The poison's in my veins.
I know I said what I always meant.
I won't be contained
When the poison's in my veins.
*in later recordings and performances, line is changed to:
"When I wake, nothing is clear"

Firefly

The simplest thing,
About these wings,
They let the wind take us,
To where it must.
A million miles away,
But we still can't stay.
The road calls strong,
So come along.
Just move along.
When the night grows cold I will,
Still stand tall,
Still give it all.
I'll wait for you,
My firefly.
My firefly.
The saving grace,
In this endless race,
Your brilliant smile,
Lights the world for miles.
It lights my world.
When the night grows cold I will,
Still stand tall,
Still give it all.
I'll wait for you,
My firefly.
My firefly.
'Cause every time,
That I see your light,
I cant help myself,
This feeling grows.
'Cause deep inside,
Its just like mine.
We're burning bright,
So lets burn,
Tonight.
When your life grows cold I will,
Still stand tall,
Still give it all.
I'll wait for you,
My firefly.
My firefly.

Dear Dad

Dear dad,
I know it's been a while since I came around,
And you're wondering "is he six feet under ground?"
But I promise you I live a life that's full and true.
Dear dad,
I know I could just write to you today,
But I would not know what to say.
It seems for all my words,
I'm at a loss where we're concerned.
I do the best I can to make you proud,
But it's cold out here and I'm in doubt.
Every time I take a look around,
I'm one step closer to the ground.
To being in the ground.
Dear dad,
I've seen a lot of things since I left home,
Taken so much shit and thrown stones.
But through it all,
I never once broke down and called.
Dear dad,
This world is nothing like you said it'd be.
There's so much out there to see.
And till I've seen my share,
I know it feels like I don't care.
But I do, I do.
I'm just lost in something new.
There's no words for your worth,
But I can't stop this rebirth.
I do the best I can to make you proud,
But it's cold out here and I'm in doubt.
Every time I take a look around,
I'm one step closer to the ground.
I do the best I can but I'm run down.
Just lost in all the sounds.
Every time I stop to take a breath,
I wonder how many I've got left.
Dear dad,
I know I've said it nowhere near enough,
But thank you for all your love.
Though I've gone away,
I'll be back,
Some day.
