So it's written in stone but my mind crushed my bone like an enemy so it's written in sand but the blood on my hand became the scenery So I'll drink my martini, and smoke my cigars in the hope that you'll carry me home I've been here for hours the days turned to weeks I'm no longer the man that you've known So it's written in air but I guess just fair with the state I'm in i can't wait for much longer I'm biding my time and I'm drinking my whiskey with wine I look through these photos it's needless to say you are smiling, I'm standing behind You wiped your tears with your sleeve then you startled, and looked up at me you reached for my soul, but it felt indifferently Now I've finished my martini I have no more cigars and you still haven't carried me home I still look at these photos they span over years you're still smiling, I'm still unknown

The Well 03:26
Misery collect all your fallen stones and throw them back at me but can't you see I've got my lists all stacked in order like it's meant to be I never thought I'd hear your whispers I never thought I'd lost control I never thought I'd pull the trigger I never thought I got no soul My darling, me there are no layers in your prayers there's no symmetry come back and see from the generic to specific what you've done to me I never thought you'd pass the message I never thought you'd break my heart I never thought you'd be indefinite I never thought you'd go that far I never thought we'd call it even I never thought what happens next I never thought we'd look for reasons I never thought we'd fail the test I never thought we'd trade our places I never thought we'd spell it out I never thought we'd lose our faces I never thought we'd come about

Tell me something, tell me something dear when your arms are weak, and you go back to sleep will you die alone? But I'll tell you darling, tell you while I'm here Things aren't what they seem, you are a beauty queen who denies her throne Tell me something, tell me something dear when you were watching stars, and the speeding cars and the accident Was there something, something that you feared? Were you still confused, maybe a bit amused or resilient? Tell me something, tell me something dear Have you received bad news, given a bad excuse for you fucking up? So let me make it, make it very clear I will come back to stay, we'll look the other way when we're out of luck Your hands they held the air How could I help but stare? Your hands they held the air How could I help but stare? Tell me something, tell me something dear About you secret wish, the first boy you kissed And the rules you broke While I hold you, hold you very near You never seemed to care, completely unaware that it was all a joke Tell me something, tell me something dear Of what you can't control, of what you swallowed whole like a nihilist Were you really, were you not sincere? You told me anecdotes, you told me inside jokes with an expected twist Your hands they held the air How could I help but stare? Your hands they held the air How could I help but stare?

Well I packed my bags and left New York while you were fast asleep I wrote "I love you" on a note and drove off through crowded streets then you woke up and screamed my name but I was nowhere to be found just the note that I left lying around Then you dialed my number and cursed my name but I did not pick up the phone I was on a date with my own devil, had to do it on my own The whiskey and the cigarettes hadn't done it for me no this was my last standing chance to be free And while your mother's weep on the clouded streets while I'm heading back to West Virginia This was no betrayal my soul was locked in jail but now I found it had to go back to my roots to heal it's wail All the simple words they are now unheard cause I'm right back here in West Virginia I still think of her though my memories are blurred you're smiling Now I'm on my own on my hollow bones but I'm right where I belong: West Virginia I still think of her though my memories are blurred you're smiling though you're left all alone in the world
5.
For all it's worth it's still what it seems we're still kids in the streets forced to sell magazines who never grew up and eventually we watched us slowly fading gracefully When nothing else compels to me we'll rewind the tapes to 1983 For all it's worth it's still what it seems we're still kids in the streets forced to sell magazines
6.
You were the loneliest soul of the night you let the dog sleep by your side and those hints of tears in your eyes you told them to dry You watched the kids in the street passing by and scratched that cheap tattoo on your neck and you tried so hard to forget but we have never met And soon you'll discover with another just who you are
7.
Breath from your distance Peel off your needs Choke on your assistance Disobey in your sleep Fake all your faces Reverse me in time Pay with embraces And rip all that's mine Keep out your spirits Hang me to dry Make me delirious Or watch me pass by
