Communion

i have fallen too far down
get me out, you're on fire
in the heavy, in the light
when i touch your skin could it make you cry?
met with resistance,
needle in the eye
i don't mind, not so much
the bitter reminder of what came before
stare out the window til it looks like a door
sweet form a distance, do you take a breath?
lover in a coma, vision in a nightdress
you're bored, you're tired
o lord, o savior
you're on fire
i don't mind, not so much
there's something in the wind
and it's not what i'm used to
you found what you love
and you're gonna let it kill you
rise to a flame, o humble spark
you loved me in the day
it was better in the dark
when your hands reached out
but they failed to meet me
imprisoned in the mind
and awakened in the body
some communal sacrifice
bread for the hungry,
flesh of christ

Spectator
02:21
|
|||
|
sun sickness,
sucking blood from a cut
you're a chicken with its head cut off
is there a dullness at the heart of lust?
mouth's full and it tastes like rust
everything we ever made got lost
and do you mean that?
(i saw you walking with your fine fur on)
do you mean that?
(i saw you sleeping with the shades all drawn)
o the heat, or this hell of our creation
can you see once you know too much?
can you want with your lights shut off?
if i'm a voyeur, you're a window
and i'm going to drown inside you
o reaper, do you eat your dead?
you're a spectator and a jealous friend
you want enough to keep you up at night,
not quite enough to make you try
it's already delicate enough
and i hate to watch you fuck it up
and do you mean that?
(not sure you know what you want when you want me)
did you mean that?
(not sure you know what you want when you want me)
o relief, o if only for a moment
and i saw you with your nice clothes on
look pretty but don't say too much
how'd you love me with your hands cut off?
when you're with me does it taste like rust?

when you're ready
o, a light
i saw a light
but i got too close
and i watched it die
watched it die
all my life,
all of my life
a picture with a hole inside
love you like a son or daughter
as a calf that's led to slaughter
make me something of a jester
someday everything gets better
when you're ready
o, a light
i saw a light
but i got too close
and i watched it die
with my hands behind my back
but it burned too bright
and i ran from that
i ran from that

To Water
02:24
|
|||
|
baby's out of town for a while
and i am all alone
i went downtown for a minute
then turned back to go home
i am pretending,
you give me plenty
i just can't see what i need
i guess it's not your fault
my life just has no meaning when i am not in love
i am an empty vessel and you can fill me up
when i have run dry,
lead me to water
i would burn in hell
for drinking from such a well
but i have no fear of the fire
and this has served me fine
you are a sick motherfucker
and i guess so am i
i know you're hiding,
i am pretending

Suitor
01:32
|
|||
|
i am your one,
i am your suitor
but i can't hear you
and i'm so tired
of what i want
let me in,
not to listen to you
bring me close,
not to listen to you
i have my own,
i want you when i want you
if what you need
can leave you listless
will you be better
if you don't get it?
there's nothing there

Moth
02:51
|
|||
|
i've always been
a moth to a flame
i want to know you
and then i never wanna see you again
just to know you,
you're sadistic
when you get there
you will feel it
maybe you knew
that it'd be like this
o my god what have i done
not an easy path to run from
i'm my only master
as if in a dream
walking and i am not moving
going nowhere
does it ever seem
it cannot be earned or given
is this why you’ve come here
or why you’re leaving?
i have felt so certain
is it fleeting
if for a moment, you’d be still
have you any other?

Not Now
01:48
|
|||
|
wait here
don't move
feel you washing over me
foolish, drunken levity
i'm naive when i wanna be
i've only shown what you want from me
not now
haven't been close enough
haven't been loud enough
was it all for nothing?
the endless plain of suffering
you're like a dream to me
not now

Such good healing energy on this album. Perfect for recovering from surgery. Thoughtful, plaintive, free of kitschy standard rock moves. Probably still good without the surgery. ;)

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche.
