Crying For Something That Would Not Change With Time (free) 04:48
lyrics

You're the skeleton that hides itself in my closet the monster that cowers beneath my bed you're the mother that cried and the lover that died in my arms the voice screaming on helium inside my head I remember nights spent with you and the parties you three spilling red wine down dresses self esteem off back terraces crying for something that would not change with time and I remember holding you close and crushing the rose that you gave on my birthday to find the best way to say that I love you but I have to move on You skated over my frozen pond in winter played at my beach in the hot sun raked all the leaves that fell from my trees in dank autumn waited under my umbrella 'til the rain was done And I remember saying goodbye tears mingling in our eyes standing out on the high rise body paralyzed screaming that this all has to end and I remember pleas to come down and a song being found nights spent awake dreaming of your face screaming I love you but I have to move on Lover I love you but please let me down

Girl of All Names Parts I & IV (free) 05:37
lyrics

I And she'll make finger paintings in my eyes and in my mind trace the lines of my love with her breath and then she'll draw the blinds I press my face against the window of the chamber where she entertained him how he serenaded her on admiration's violin I came running down the hall stumbled stopped until I fell I saw his figure dark and tall and he cracked this oyster's shell I went whining to my cage and they danced out to the hill where he lies atop her in his rage because he knows she loves me still And she will reap the blossoms of our sin where he sowed the seeds out on the hilltop but there's nothing there but glass and broken weeds which cut her brittle feet like the cuts he made upon her heart and she'll come crawling back to me bloody-kneed we'll pray in the dark La da la da da da da da she'll sing notes all ringing clear from out her vacancies and thoughts echoing from ear to ear and I will cry beneath the bed of my intolerable shame where she will lie for ever more the girl of all names IV And so it would pass that she would grow up like her mother drinking bourbon in the living room in an orange slicker and she would feed the feral cats and coax them in out of the rain And I always wondered if she would just be another piece in a sculpture gallery of teenage mothers she would relinquish her life but never your dreams And she baths in the market square plays with the children there tells their fortunes for a coin and they leave with their bellies full saying she's beautiful that old lady with no brains what's her name And at the liquor store she's known as Viola and down at the asylum they call her sweet Delila but only when she's atop the highrise out in the pouring rain smelling tomorrow's bread from the Swedish bakery and hearing down below her the crying of a baby can she throw her head back howl in her anger and her pain And she lets her eyes go slack feels the patter pat on her forehead in the drain and they see her rising higher bleeding the rooftop wire like some prophet of the rain crying what's a name you are all the same and I will quench all your flames for I am of all and no names
