Sarah Slean Album

What did I give to you, what did you give to me
A nothing trail of silences that warp in the rain
You said I don’t really know the reason, it’s just not the same
Oh what a vacant breath when you say my name

Do you know the weight I’m under
When everything revolves around you
Soon the shoulder falls

All forgotten handshakes names like falling leaves
Apathy will spread like wildfire, take you away from me
I’m leaning out the window gonna catch the August rain
I’m gonna fill your mouth up, make you live again

Do you know the weight I’m under
When everything revolves around you
Do you know the weight I’m under
When everything revolves around you
Soon the shoulder falls

Loud mouth, suits and ties
Liars, with money and girls
The kind you fit in your pocket
I can't save them from this darkness
My sisters, I love them all
My faeries pinned against the wall

I know what you want
And I know what you want
And I know

Doll, made of paint and china
Your worth lies only in these
But you're real to me
Little bones, will you break these legs like twigs now?
There's pain here you'll never have to feel
Never have to feel

I know what you want
And I know what you want
And I know
Lyrics
And I would fight a thousand men
I'd fight fire and wind and rain
I'd cry a river of tears for them
The bodies floating there
Christ-like and bare
Tell me, is that fair?

There are some things I can't forgive
Some things I just can't forgive
Some things

Jesus, I thought we had an understanding
The fact that you can buy a woman
Makes me want to die
Where were you last night?
Jesus, Jesus
Where were you?

And I know what you want
I know it all too well
And I know
I know

I bought my angel on the Fourth of July
I didn't plan it, it just happend that way.
I guess faith stepped in in the end,
'Cause I needed him then.

When I bought him they said, Are you sure?
No refunds, returns or exchanges because
once he's yours, he's yours for good.
Now, you behave like an angel should.

'Cause I saw it on TV,
they were selling pieces of heaven
and I thought, Hey, what about me?
When am I considered... ooh

I chained my angel to the eavestrough
It was November and I think I pissed him off
He's mad but I don't care
You're my Angel, so there.

I figure it's only about sixty more years
LyricsSo come on Angel, stop all the tears
Come sing me a song or two
Whatever it is you Angels do.

'Cause I saw it on TV
They were selling pieces of heaven
And I thought, Hey what about me?
When can I make reservations.. ooh

My pet angel's got a long lost friend.
He says he's coming back when the world ends
when us humans have lost our touch...
God never liked people that much

'Cause he saw it on TV
they were selling pieces of heaven
and he thought, Well, how can this be?
What in the Hell are they thinking?

Here's a story 'bout me and Jerome
Just convinced him to come out of his home
Free as freedom with the highways to roam,
he said. "I'll take a drink but I don't smoke anymore"
He loosened up when we hit Tennessee
Drinking bourbon and laughing at me
I asked him why he disappeared so suddenly,
he said. "I ran away before they made a movie outta me"

And I'm charmed, charmed, charmed
Glad to take a ride
You're a song, song, song my friend
For lunch we split a book and a banana pie.

On the interstate I ran out of gas
Had a vision of the motel we passed
The needle was falling and the falling fast
Pulled her in the drive and the whole thing collapsed
He said, "I must admit I've never done this sort of thing
But I like our eyes and the way you sing"
It doesn't matter where you ought to be
How you get there's the thing.

Once I took the universe to dinner
When she failed to yeild the earth's demands
'Oh,' she said 'you mean that little ant farm?
I'm alright, dear, I've got other plans'

And we're sad because we think we don't belong here
We're guilty 'cause we think we should be stars
Floating in a navy soup, we're sailing
There you are
There you are

She's so bright, and then she's gone
Don't mind me I'm just sailing
On a sunrise, it's my favourite thing
And when are you going to realize
I don't blame you, I never have

And when she talks, she fills the room with sunlight
She can name her babies, every one
I've returned to the place of my beginning
And I can see her turning off the sun
Lyrics
And we're sad because we think we don't belong here
We're guilty 'cause we think we should be stars
Floating in a navy soup, we're sailing
There you are
There you are

She's so bright, and then she's gone
Don't mind me I'm just sailing
On a sunrise, it's my favourite thing
And when are you going to realize
I don't blame you, I never have

Pie Jesu Domine

Sempiternam requiem
Sempiternam requiem

Pie Jesu Pie Jesu Domine

Sempiternam requiem

Inside a heart
Of freezing boys
Searching for the answer
In a shiny dime

Who beg for sleep
And piece of mind
Why must the aging page
Decide?

Me and John the 23rd have
Tasted these sour words and I
Just can't shake this belief that it's not a
Test of devotion or something you read

From the dawn of time
They taught her why
Not to ask those questions
And never cry

A plate of stars
LyricsCould never take the place of the
Boy who swore to catch me
As I run through the rye

I know it's been quite a long time since I
Sang a hym without guilt in my eyes
And I know he truly wouldn't care
'Cause if you really tried, he'd save a place for you there

My weary heart
Is looking, restless
Not for a pardon
But just one promise

All the faith that one can deserve, it's
Enough to wonder why you punish your girls
Sure he's facing you now, and not the wall, but isn't that
Better than facing nothing at all?

I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps the toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside
You'll only see my reflection

I am her face when she sleeps tonight
I am the pick in the ice
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
'Cause we are friends 'til we die

And any way you turn I'll be there
Open up your skull I'll be there
Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls

It's always better when the light is off
It's always best on the outside
And in the crack of your waning smile
Fifteen blows to your mind

O so tuck the kids in safe tonight
LyricsAnd shut the eyes in the cupboard
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
You'll get the loneliest feeling

That any way you turn I'll be there
Open your skull I'll be there
Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls

I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps the toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside
You'll only see my reflection
