about

The full sonata undivided by individual tracks.

lyrics

I. PRELUDE
"...a brief but stately declaration of fermenting lamentation..."

...I am feeling
Dramatical
When will it end?
I am dealing
With transactional
Fair weather friends

I’ve paid my dues
Yet still lost you

I have unfinished business
That I must attend to
I’ve bared witness to so many
Failed attempts at follow through

Alone in the dark
Oh, where to start?

I sense sickness in my lust
To make amends with you

Next to the fire
I feel so cold
I’ve lost my desire
For the unknown
I’m out of touch
The time on my hands
Is collecting dust
Yet still I ask
May I have this dance?

II. LEAVE ME IN THE GROUND
"...to bathe one's self in the care of despair..."

Shouldn’t have messed all around
With just the pretty ones
Running their mouths all over town
With their loaded tongues
Doing their best to bring me down
Through the ones I love
Shouldn’t have messed all around
With just the pretty ones

If my heart were like a flower
You would rip off all my petals
You would leave me in the ground
So I could feel it better
So I could feel it better
You never knew how much I cared
Until you left me on a dare
In love and war all is fair
I would know, I’ve been there

No need to bury me
I’m already underground
And if you’d leave me be
I won’t make another sound

You’re ashamed to say the least
Of my chosen ways
Invite me over for a feast
In between your legs
Send me home sight unseen
In the light of day
Now I’m ashamed to say the least
Of my chosen ways

If my heart were like a flower
You would rip off all my petals
(You would rip them off)
He loves me he loves me not
I have no say in the matter

Ah

No need to bury me
I’m already underground
And if you’d leave me be
I won’t make another sound

Can you dig it?

No need to bury me
No need to bury me
No need to bury me

III. LAZY GHOST
"...a thwarted attempt to abandon this accursed abode..."

I live my life
Overpowered by my lesser demands
Time after time
I think I’d like to cancel all of my plans
For what it’s worth
You’ll be second to none
At having the last word

Constant descent
Growth from within
Fear of the end
Won’t allow me to begin
And so it goes
All alone
Trapped internal
In a homemade home
Haunted by a lazy ghost

I’m shaking in my boots
And when I get to shaking
There’s only one thing left to do
So come on
Dance
Awooo
Dance until you’re dead

IV. MY HIDING PLACE
"...reflections in a broken mirror, the lesson still unlearned..."

I would like
If I may
To show you
My hiding place

Just don’t tell anybody
Just don’t tell anybody
Please
Or I’ll never go to sleep
Or I’ll never go to sleep
Yea you’ll bring me to my knees
If you know what I mean

Was it you or was it me?
Maybe, baby
If we’d look then we would see
Whoever else is here
Could you do me a
Favor, later?
And remove all the mirrors

Yet here we stand
Upon the shattered glass
It never hurts to ask
May I have this dance?
Perchance
May I have this dance?

I don’t know what I’ve been told
I think I’m a living ghost

I would like
If I may
To show you
My hiding place

Just don’t tell anybody
Just don’t tell anybody
Please
Or I’ll never go to sleep
Yea you’ll bring me to my knees
I really want to go to sleep
If you know what I mean...
