A Crack in Everything

"Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in"
I did it once, won't do it twice
Two broken hearts, a single lie
You said this rose would never die
Our love is nothing but a stem
*excerpt from "Anthem" by Leonard Cohen

Bird in a Man Cage
01:05

I've got a weak stomach and a weaker will
I've got a strange sadness and a little pill
I've got a strong weakness, getting stronger still
Inside that little bird on the window sill
Able to fly but sitting looking in
I wish he'd tell me what I'm to do
How to close my eyes and not see you
How to get myself out of this shrinking room
From a windowsill, one sunny afternoon

All these choices labeled mistakes
You give and I take
A monster born from love
All these choices labeled mistakes
You give and I take
And I can't hold them up
Heading downward and never looking up
Got my foot stuck in a permanent rut
Look at me, look at me, do you see...
Anything resembling a human being?

Making a living slipping through the cracks
Watching them bend cleaning up your mess
Keeping your distance, saving your skin
Ignoring the burn of guilt within
You thought that no one noticed all the times you didn't speak
You thought that no one noticed you pretending not to see
Thought you did it quietly
Well, think again
Think again
I think I did
I think I did
Making a living slipping through the cracks
Watching them bend cleaning up your mess
Keeping your distance, saving your skin
Ignoring the burn of guilt within

Some Were Never Laid
01:06
|

All that weight you held over my head
Was dust in the wind to what you did
The person who I thought I knew
Was a lot of things but it wasn't you
"Some rules were made to break," she said
"And some were never laid"
My heart was never yours to take
But you took it anyway

Maybe I Did

I don't wanna be a topic of discussion
I don't wanna be an object of obsession
I don't wanna be the center of attention
But I'm not sure that's true
Maybe I do
I don't wanna be a thorn in your side
I don't wanna be a log in your eye
I dont' wanna be that guy
But I'm not sure that's true
Maybe I do
I don't wanna be compared to you
I don't wanna be just like you
I don't wanna be you
But I'm not sure that's true
Maybe I do
I never wanted this from the start
I never wanted for things to fall apart
I never wanted to break your heart
But I'm not sure that's it
Maybe I did
I never wanted to be a success
I never cared about a standardized test
I never wanted to do my best
But I'm not sure that's it
I just never did
I'm sorry mother, I know not what I do
I'm sorry father, I know not what I do
I'm sorry sister and brother, too
And if half of that's true
The good half's for you

Beauty
01:24

Last night in a dream
I fell in love with a blind girl
But her blindness was a blessing
She saw what was truly beautiful
And from what I can remember
She loved me back
Which remains a daily mystery to me
When all I see is what I lack
Now I'm awake and she still feels real
This is the way that I wanna feel
I don't care if it isn't real
Go back to sleep, feel how I wanna feel
