Janey
Janey doesn’t want anything that’s gonna make her cry again
She says she’s wasted too many tears on her girlfriend’s shoulders
Are so broad and his mind is so narrow
And he thinks of only one thing
And when she won’t give it to him, he says
It’s enough to make you want to hurt her
Nights roll back like the sheets, she says,
‘I’m tired from a week of fighting
And I’m tired of you’
She goes window shopping for the things she knows she’ll never use
And she tells her friends that it makes her feel safe
Every time he says
It’s enough to make you want to hurt her
And after a while it doesn’t hurt you anymore
And it’s like a kind of black relief as you rush to meet the floor
And it’s something that surrounds you
It’s something that engulfs you
And takes you in, takes you in
And all the while, he says
That he never meant to hurt you
No, he never meant to hurt you
Janey gave up window shopping and took everything in hand
Left him lying face down in the rain
Dying to the rhythm of some street-corner marching band
And so she moves on, with nowhere to move onto
No one to move onto, just someone else
One more person who says
It’s enough to make you want to hurt her

In Orbit
You spend your days under the rays
You spend your days in orbit
The nights you stake the things I saved
And waste away to marrow
I’m not making sense
I need a rest
I need a coat
I’ve begun to feel the cold
I don’t know when we started to spend
Our lives running in circles
I’d like to say what drew me in
But I can’t remember one thing
I’m not making sense
I need a rest
I need a coat
I’ve begun to feel the cold
Didn’t say it doesn’t bother me
You know I couldn’t stay
You know I couldn’t stay

All That's Left

All that’s left
You said I’m a liar
If there weren’t anyone around
I’d be putting you down
I make like I’m tired
If I could put the words to it
It still wouldn’t make sense
I wasn’t all that you came for
I wasn’t all that you planned
I wasn’t all that you came for
But now, I’m all that’s left
Your eyes only lighten up when I’m not around
Or so I’ve been told
It’s not like it’s news to me
I just didn’t think ‘convenience’
Would be this soulless
I wasn’t all that you came for
I wasn’t all that you planned
I wasn’t all that you came for
But now, I’m all that’s left
Don’t lie
Turn around now

The Way We Lie

The Way We Lie
I never said you were beautiful
I never claimed you as mine
I couldn’t stand the inconvenience
I simply wouldn’t have the time
But the way we lie
When something is better than nothing
And anything will kill the time
Don’t deny I cause you misery
I’m nothing more than skin and bone
My bed was never quite warm enough
Especially when I slept alone
But the way we lie
When something is better than nothing
And anything will kill the time
And this is not the love song
You asked me not to write
And these are not the arms
That you thought would hold you tight
And yours is not the soft warmth
That I’ve longed for all my life
But it’s warmer than the wind
That cuts through me tonight

Original Sin
Angels may smile, angels may smile on you
Their wings are not real
Their hearts you can see right through
They’ll cover you in
Original sin
And they’ll turn on you
The further you went
The further you fell from me
I covered my eyes
You said you’d never felt better
But that’s too much for a sensitive boy
And they’ll turn on you
Angels may smile, angels may smile on you
Their wings are not real
Their hearts you can see right through
They’ll cover you in
Original sin
And they’ll turn on you
