You're tearing me out of my illusion No longer can see you eye to eye Your mood shifts like the fucking ocean How much longer do I have to try

We were young, And none of us know quite what to say, But the feeling moved Among us in silence anyway. Slowly we had made Quite a change-- Somewhere we had crossed a big line. Down upon our knees, We had tasted holy wine, And no one could sway us In a life time. Purer than the sky, Behind the rain. Falling down all around us, Calling out from a boundless love. Love had lit a fire; We were the flame. Burning into the darkness, Shining out from inside us. Not a word. And no one had to say we were changed. Nothing else we lived through Would ever be same the same, Knowing the truth That we had gained. Purer than the sky, Behind the rain. Falling down all around us, Calling out from a boundless love. Love had lit a fire; We were the flame. Burning into the darkness, Shining out from inside us. Stay with me. Make it ever new, So time will not undo, As the years go by, How I need to see That's still me. Falling down all around us, Calling out from a boundless love. Yeah... Burning into the darkness, Shining out from inside us. Purer than the sky, Behind the rain. Falling down all around us, Calling out from a boundless love. Love has lit a fire; I am the flame. Burning into the darkness, Shining out from inside us. Purer than the sky, Behind the rain. Falling down all around us, Calling out from a boundless love. (Ohh...) Love has lit a fire; I am the flame. Burning into the darkness, Shining out from inside us. Purer than the sky, Behind the rain. Falling down all around us, Calling out from a boundless love.

Can you hear me? Running through the tricks of time. Out on the road, Screaming like my lungs on fire. Do you see me, Laughing with my love wide eyed? All we're made of, Everything gets in the tied. What are we made of? Criss cross and out of luck. Tears keep falling, They say my dreams are out of touch. Forever, and lucky for us. My baby keeps me on the good stuff I'm here, my love. Even when I'm standing out alone. And there's a galaxy of us that shines And I hear you calling me home. I'm here my love, Even when I'm standing out alone. And there's a galaxy of us that shines And I hear you calling me home. Long days under the cherry tree. When we were kids, yeah, When we were seventeen. Some things they never change. Some people, they got to go away That's who you are. That's you, as far as the stars. I'm here, my love. Even when I'm standing out alone. And there's a galaxy of us that shines And I hear ya calling me home. I'm here my love, Even when I'm standing out alone. And there's a galaxy of us that shines And I hear ya calling me home. And there's a galaxy of us that shines And I hear ya calling me home.

You just want to live your life The best way you know how But they keep on telling you That you are not allowed They say you are sick That you should hang your head in shame They are pointing fingers And want you to take the blame There are days when people are So nasty and convincing They say things beyond belief That sting and leave you wincing And to boot they say their words Come straight down from above And they really seem to think That what they're doing counts as love This pain It is a glacier moving through you And carving out deep valleys And creating spectacular landscapes And nourishing the ground With precious minerals and other stuff So, don't you become paralyzed with fear When things seem particularly rough Don't you pay them fuckers as they say no never mind They don't give two shits about you. It's the blind leading the blind What they want is commonly referred to as theocracy And what that boils down to is referred as hypocrisy Don't listen to anyone; get answers on your own Even if it means that sometimes you feel quite alone No one on this planet can tell you what to believe People like to talk a lot, and they like to deceive This pain It is a glacier moving through you And carving out deep valleys And creating spectacular landscapes And nourishing the ground With precious minerals and other stuff So, don't you become paralyzed with fear When things seem particularly rough This pain It is a glacier moving through you And carving out deep valleys And creating spectacular landscapes And nourishing the ground With precious minerals and other stuff So, don't you become paralyzed with fear When things seem particularly rough

My love is the rarest jewel And he crowns me with his love My love he is rich like caramel And he moves me from above He sees me with tiger eyes And that's where I make my home His heart is a shield which protects me from the vilest foe His smile's an elixer which heals the wounds of my darkest years My love is quiet I consider him and he drives away my fears My love he reveals himself with tenderness and grace My love has constructed with his arms for me the safest place His laughter destroys my doubts and lifts me up so high His voice it is soothing like a warm breeze on a summer night When he envelops me I give myself to him and my soul takes flight

Billy, as the world tries hard to cheat death once again I've got some extra time Which I thought that I would spend By working on your song And it's shameful and I'm sorry that it's taken me so long Billy, you are always on my mind and I think back to When I first laid eyes on you at Paris On The Platte I saw you walking in And immediately fell victim to your Tractor-beam-like grin Billy, we're so different but I think you must agree That we could not support the weight of expectation And it forced us to our knees And we set about destroying ourselves As members of the cult Members of the cult Members of the cult of masculinity Billy, I remember how you let me stay at your place As a birthday gift, it was on the night of July 25th And we both slept in the same bed You didn't care, you let me know That you were not afraid Billy, you have always made me feel like royalty And I always looked up to you And you always made me feel like I was loved But then I had to walk away Because I know that I would follow you Right to my own grave Billy, we're so different but I think you must agree That we're both disappointments To so many folks in this society So we continue with the task of punishing ourselves But maybe you don't think I'm weak And maybe someday soon we'll speak Just like we used to do When you were you and I was me Billy, we're so different but I think you must agree That we could not support the weight of expectation And it forced us to our knees And we set about destroying ourselves As members of the cult Members of the cult Members of the cult Members of the cult Members of the cult Members of the cult Members of the cult Members of the cult Members of the cult Members of the cult of masculinity
