Perfection there’s something beautiful in ugly there’s something true in every lie there’s something wrong in every righteous stance there’s no perfection though you try i went down to meet my rival i dove deep into my soul when i blessed him and forgave him yeah then finally i felt whole there’s something beautiful in ugly there’s something true in every lie there’s something wrong in every righteous stance there’s no perfection though you try i danced blindfold with my double we shared secrets of the heart when i blinked awake i was all alone just phantoms from the start i rode shotgun with the devil he just laughed at what i said son you’ve sure got aspirations but you’ll come my way instead there’s something beautiful in ugly there’s something true in every lie there’s something wrong in every righteous stance there’s no perfection though you try

Phantom 03:00
lyrics
buy track
Phantom she left without warning one day she just was gone i hoped that my tears would end pain passed before too long now it nags and itches more thoughts but much less hurt guess i’ve risen from the dead our love down in the dirt though she haunts me like a phantom i don’t feel her here at all those sweet times we spent together less and less i can recall so much that she did that hurt me self-protective i suspect she cut off communication thus the final bridge got wrecked though she haunts me like a phantom i don’t feel her here at all those sweet times we spent together less and less i can recall still i hope one day she’ll reach out though at this point to what end such a heedless force of nature best i focus on the mend though she haunts me like a phantom i don’t feel her here at all those sweet times we spent together less and less i can recall

No Time Like the Present no time like the present no now like yesterday just when you think you’ve drawn a bead the future runs away oh baby i wish you understood and i know you’d be there if you ever could oh darling i wish you saw me clear then we’d be together and not just kind of near no time like the present the present’s not here at all slipping through my fingers rejecting every call oh baby i wish you understood and i know you’d be there if you ever could oh darling i wish you saw me clear then we’d be together and not just kind of near no time like the present so quickly it speeds by slipping through the fish net there’s no more you can try oh baby i wish you understood and i know you’d be there if you ever could oh darling i wish you saw me clear then we’d be together and not just kind of near

Baubles i’m out of the loop far from the fray i watch in wonder the circus every day i write and comment arm’s length from the crowd the system’s broken we shout it out loud a fight to the finish my box way up on high they’re bobbing for some baubles now while i clap and i cry i sit on the sidelines condemn the game i’m still in it baby my share of the blame a fight to the finish my box way up on high they’re bobbing for some baubles now while i clap and i cry chorus - half time i do my yoga stroll in the woods turn from the hustle no faith in the shoulds a fight to the finish my box way up on high they’re bobbing for some baubles now while i clap and i cry

Death Knell to a Dream we meant to find a way trying harder almost every day we sure meant to see it through but there was no peace for me and you it’s so hard to win at love much more spilled milk than cream finally there’s that sell by date death knell to a dream felt always out of balance i never got the code then my nerves had had enough a system overload it’s so hard to win at love much more spilled milk than cream finally there’s that sell by date death knell to a dream ways of life colliding no circle from these squares every soul a universe yet drawn to go in pairs it’s so hard to win at love much more spilled milk than cream finally there’s that sell by date death knell to a dream 2x

Blow Dry 03:22

Blow Dry maybe she was on the money maybe this the sole way free cut the cords in hateful silence murdering for liberty it was not a whole connection trapped and tangled in debris burn those honeyed hooks and bindings best adept at hurting me love’s so different from desire nourishing so far from heat she just wanted what she wanted rinse and blow dry then repeat i got sick after she vanished core defenses mostly shot had to clear out so much baggage come to terms with what was not love’s so different from desire nourishing so far from heat she just wanted what she wanted rinse and blow dry then repeat once again an ancient lesson one i need to finally get hoping for a full companion haven’t given that up yet love’s so different from desire nourishing so far from heat she just wanted what she wanted rinse and blow dry then repeat

Never Meant To Hurt You i never meant to hurt you but it came down to you or me i never meant to hurt you i hope someday you’ll see it’s the same old story you knew it from the start didn’t matter what you tried your natures so far apart you can’t change the basics despite that wish inside digging the hooks deeper until the embers died i never meant to hurt you but it came down to you or me i never meant to hurt you past time to set you free we hurt each other badly each grasping for the prize now it turns out i’ve increased the pain behind your eyes i’d like to plead not guilty but that would be a lie neither of us strong enough to simply walk on by i never meant to hurt you but it came down to you or me i never meant to hurt you i hope someday you’ll see certainly i’ll miss you the love will linger on still i’ll heave a heavy sigh when finally you are gone i never meant to hurt you but it came down to you or me i never meant to hurt you past time to set you free i never meant to hurt you but it came down to you or me i never meant to hurt you i hope someday you’ll see

Miss You 03:24
lyrics

Miss You the end a new beginning our serpent ate its tail everything was always there then we dropped off the rail i will always miss you though there was so much wrong we were thrown together hard our tempest dark and strong the first contained an outcome the whole showed forth in parts such an intimate debauch those twined and distant hearts i will always miss you though there was so much wrong we were thrown together hard our tempest dark and strong a presence disappearing deep imprint and then gone all those passionate attempts until the play moved on i will always miss you though there was so much wrong we were thrown together hard our tempest dark and strong
