Something Fragile
something so fragile
when it breaks
shall never be the same again
though you pick up the pieces
and make the rebinding
and pretend
that something is the same
back to its wholeness
on the same placement
yes, i am talking about love
the fragile heart that was broken
it will never be the same again
now, it is stronger.

We Are So Fragile
We are so fragile
Advertising lies that are whiter than yours
We are so fragile
They could give us a war just to keep us amused
We are so fragile
I could stay here inside and say its all been done
We are so fragile
Just pretend I never tried, Ill leave it up to you
We are still so young
And it must be wrong but Id do it all the same
We are really so shy
Theres nothing I can do except believe in you
We could always go home
But everyone says this is the place to be
We are so unnatural
But you wouldnt understand, you only deal with men

Fragile (demo 1998)
Four o'clock in the morning
I close my eyes and consider you
Is this some kind of warning
To let me know you're just passing through my life?
It's a good place to be
For someone like you to take solace in me
This is my fragile reality
For someone as eager as you
Can break me in threes
And break through my needs
To get to the dirt
You learned how to hurt... me
Six o'clock in the evening
I brush my hair and will you to know
Is this some kind of teasing?
And are you prepared to be half as true as you try,
As you try hard to be?
Someone so cautious and careful and free
And why are you waiting for me?
You're steady and stable and able to be close to me
I'm strapped to my seat
The tables have turned
You know how they burn right through me
Why do you wrestle with my right to be different from you?
Why do you settle for me if it's not what you wanted to do?
I'm fragile too
I'm fragile too
I'm fragile too
Only with you
Four o'clock in the morning
I hold your head and take care of you
Are these symptoms of touring?
Did someone you love leave you black and blue?
Sometime, somewhere I'll never be
Aware of misfortunes and torture and grief
This life is a good place to be
For someone as fragile as you
I'm fragile too
I'm fragile too
I'm fragile too
But only with you
Only with you
I'm fragile too
But only with you
Only with you
I'm fragile too
But only with you
I'm fragile too (7x)
But only with you
Only with you
I'm fragile too
But only with you.

Fragile Heart
Verse 1:
I remember the first time
You laughed with me
I remember the promises
You would never leave my side
Now Im standin with news of a tragedy
Standin here with a fragile heart
See I never shed a tear
I stayed strong for them
When everybody disappears
Its only you that keeps me strong
I cant imagine goin on
Without you in my life
Goin on with a fragile heart
Chorus:
When I think about, think about life
Lord I think of you
I forget about everything else
Theres only you and i
I cant think about ever givin up
Ever givin up the fight
The only thing that matters lord is you
Verse 2:
I aint got no time to pretend
That Im not missin you
I know youre in good hands
The same hands that hold my heart
And Ill cherish every moment that weve spent
As a gift from God above
cause he takes care of all fragile hearts
Chorus 2:
When I think about, think about life
Lord I think of you
I forget about everything else
Theres only you and i
I cant think about ever givin up
Ever givin up the fight
The only thing that matters
When Im goin thru
Is givin my fragile heart right back to you
Bridge:
You see my fragile hearts been broken
And youre the only one
Who can put it all together again
So Im trustin you lord to see me thru

Fragile
If blood will flow when fresh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrows rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetimes argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are

She's Breakable
She's breakable
She's fragile
Will you catch her if she falls?
Better watch what you say
She takes things the hard way
She's breakable
She's fragile
Will you keep her all togeather?
The wind will blow her away
If she thinks doesn't you want her to stay
She's breakable
She's fragile
Will you keep her heart from pain?

Fragile Heart
She would be drawn to me
if i had the scent of wealth.
But for this stench of poverty
that gets her hand onto her nose
and she keeps away
her fragile heart
She would be attracted to me
if i had the bloom of beauty
and not this dull complexion
that would haunt her childish dreams
and stop her heart beat.
the ebb of her fragile heart
He would step into the muddy fate
and swim through stormy seas
only to get time's worth
The measure of brevity
that separates heroes
from fragile hearts

Since I Lost You
It seems in a moment, your whole world can shatter
Like morning dreams they just disappear
Like dust in your hand falling to the floor
How can life ever be the same
Cos my heart is broken in pieces
Yes my heart is broken in pieces
Since youve been gone
Its all too easy to take so much for granted
Oh but its so hard to find the words to say
Like a castle in the sand the water takes away
But how can life ever be the same
Cos my heart is broken in pieces
Yes my heart is broken in pieces
Since Ive lost you
Oh now youll never see
Oh youll never know
All the things I planned for you
Things for you and me
Held your hand so tightly
That I couldnt let it go
Now how can life ever be the same
Cos my heart is broken in pieces
Yes my heart is broken in pieces
Since youve been gone
Cos my heart is broken in pieces
Yes my heart is broken in pieces
Since Ive lost you
Cos my heart is broken in pieces
Yes my heart is broken in pieces
Since youve been gone

The Pain Is Worth It!
If ones heart has never felt hurt
Than ones heart can never feel love.
Ones heart has to be shattered before ones heart can be put back together.
That person will pick up the pieces and make ones heart whole.
That person will show passion, love, and an eternity of happiness.
Those times when we feel we can't be more broken,
We have to pick our selves up knowing the one Is still there waiting.
They will make all the pain, suffering, and anguish worth it,
They will prove too you that you will never have to feel that pain again,
And that this is forever!

Today I Try To Pick Up The Shattered Pieces
today i try to pick up the shattered
pieces of myself and yourself
every piece, and color and shape
compared and analyzed
to make each fit and be the whole
as us again
i put the bond to fix the edges
to make them stick as though
nothing was ever broken
i do not wish to blink and then fall asleep
the hours run like there is no way to tame them
they say they are always on a rush
and no one has ever stopped them
i tremble on some tiny pieces
and have a hard time solving the puzzle
where do they fit so well?
to deceive our eyes
to give triumph to the healing of the hands
i am a failure on some interstices
there are leaks of light
& tiny holes
there is so much emptiness
this hollow wholeness
i have failed and i am lost and so here i am
back to your arms
wanting to be a definite part of you
to seal what leak is there
to put off the tiny lights
to reconstruct the smoothness of the edges
to love you and be loved by you

Crippled Bird
A broken heart like a broken wing
It must have its time to mend
I am like a crippled bird
In hopes one day to fly again
I loved you so and I was faithful
I cared more than words could say
But love is cruel and life is hateful
Now youve gone and flown away
Chorus:
Oh, to die, twould be a pleasure
Slow to heal, but quick to cry
Fragile as a sparrows feather
Crippled bird too blue to fly
Oh, the loss is cold and shameful
And the grief so deep and sharp
There is nothing quite as painful
As a true blue broken heart
Repeat chorus
Fragile as a sparrows feather
Crippled bird too blue to fly

Only One
Broken this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces
And I've thrown my words all around
But I can't, I can't give you a reason
I feel so broken up (so broken up)
And I give up (I give up)
I just want to tell you so you know
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one
Made my mistakes, let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone
And something's breaking up (breaking up)
I feel like giving up (like giving up)
I won't walk out until you know
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one who gets me like you do
You are my only my only one
Here I go so dishonestly
Leave a note for you my only one
And I know you can see right through me
So let me go and you will find someone
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one, no one like you
You are my only, my only one
My only one
My only one
My only one
You are my only, my only one

Everytime You Smile
Every time you smile
The world is a happier place
Happiness becomes a little less fragile
The pain gets a little less!
The world gets stronger by the smile
It illuminates the enveloping darkness
Existence appears a little less fragile
One smile lights up another face!

In Trying To Reconstruct The Self
shattered pieces of self
like fragile glass
scattered on the floor
one must pick the pieces
and glue
the past and the present
and polish the
future
everyday is a reconstruction
a reunion of the mind and the heart
do not be left out
somewhere in the dark corridors of time
embrace the light and take another step forward
for life's essence is always to move on and on
those that stop shall soon decay
they rot and the layers of time soon bury them
in the land of oblivion
come! come with me!
hurry! hurry! time has big wings and too swiftly it flies away
for unlike the mind with memories that may come back
time only moves forward and then forgets

What Words Can I Say?
i make life
i want to make life for both of us
the one filled with cheers like the sparkling
champagne on a thin, fragile, transparent glass
so we too can have
very careful fingers to hold it
or it breaks
shatters on the stone floors
and you weep picking up the pieces
your tears cannot ever glue them
whole again
i want to make life and love with you
on words
no no no, not on words alone
on actions and concrete hands that touch your face and make it
warm
i put the sun
and let the water run on the rivers
i want to make love with you
let us leave life for a while
let us close our mouths with words and letters and lines
tonight, i will put the moon and the stars
i like the windows closed
it is too cold
and my bed is small for both of us

If i were to tell you
that i love you
If i were to show you
That i care
Would you help me pick up the pieces
Of my broken heart?
Even though my love for you increases
The strenth of my heart
The strenth of my soul
Cannot hold much longer
I try to stand up
I try to fix it
But i'm not getting any stronger
But if I were to show you i care
From my heart would you sow up this tear
I love you
with every little piece
My love has
yet to decrease
Maybe someday it will
But for now
I'm content
With loving you
Even if it hurts
My Breathing
Assassination of the voice of god
I dont know if I can do it
Ive found the problem and the problems you
Im here to pick up the pieces.
You wont remember me but I do you
I told you that I would come back
Everything will be decided here
They can read it in the papers.
Your breathing haunts me
My breathing?
The sleeproom still waits for me.
Join the army you can see the world
I remember this one patrol
Been liberating river towns
And we picked up the sex skin crawl.
We would sing the new leaders song
Everyone invented stories
The connection was a fragile thing
Far too many distractions.
Ive been listening to the new dj
Whats all this original con?
We all live in the same museum
We all rearrange the same old song.
Assassination by the radio
I dont know if they can do it
Ive found the problem and the problems one
Im here to pick up the pieces.

Let me say Goodbye
when pain says
goodbye, no one dare to climb the sky;
and the flowers that blooms
is like a rainbow, where
that beautiful heaven
shower its teardrops, a falling star that
leaves no pain in the
angelic face of
mine
scatter and pick
all the pieces of marble plate;
adore it in the middle
of your wonderful face
and tell me
that those memories are
meant not
to be broken, as the ground begins
to lost the
things that what we always say, and leaves
no falling broken petals in
the wind
blew me out, to the journey
of the past and push
my wholeness of pure love,
into your lasting heart and
I’ll go Darling ……

The Perfect Drug
The perfect drug
I got my head, but my head is unraveling
Cant keep control, cant keep track of where its traveling
I got my heart but my heart is no good
And youre the only one thats understood
I come along but I dont know where youre taking me
I shouldnt go but youre reaching back and shaking me
Turn off the sun, pull the stars from the sky
The more I give to you, the more I die
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You make me hard, when Im all soft inside
I see the truth, when Im all stupid eyed
The arrow goes straight through my heart
Without you everything just falls apart
My blood wants to say hello to you
My feelings want to get inside of you
My soul is so afraid to realize
Every little word is a lack of me
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
(whispering)
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the drug, the perfect drug
Take me, with you
Take me, with you
Take me, with you
(continues in backround)
Without you, without you everything falls apart
Without you, its not as much fun to pick up the pieces
Without you, without you everything falls apart
Without you, its not as much fun to pick up the pieces
Its not as much fun to pick up the pieces
Its not as much fun to pick up the pieces
Without you, without you everything falls apart
Without you, its not as much fun to pick up the pieces
