The four fundamental forces
Came to play in the American schism
And we looked gravely on
But gravity doesn't stand a chance against

Magnetism (gravity, strong, and weak)
Electromagnetism (gravity, strong, and weak)

I'm trying to tell you something 'bout my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
And the best thing you ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously
It's only life after all, yeah

Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear

Dark clouds are comin' in, like an army.
Soon the sky will open up and disarm me.
You will go, just like you've gone before;
One sad soldier off to war
With enemies that only you can see.

Dishes stacked, the table cleared,
It's always like the scene of the last supper here.

I work at the mall food court
And when I get home
I fix something to eat, settle into my seat
And turn on the country radio
I know every word
To every song
And they make these lonely nights a little less lone
'Cause then I'm under the stars

Won't have you see me as your sad sack,
Lost my something and I can't get it back,
Or a kill on your trophy rack,
I checked my schedule now my train is rolling down the track,
Past the sadness of the salt flats,
To the prospect of the land fat,
Or just a lazy orange house cat
On the sofa where I'll be put up.

The fisherman comes up
Puts his two poles in the sand
He stares out at the sea
Just exactly like me
But I've got a book in my hand
We will have caught on to something by the end of the day
But mostly we think about the one that got away.

The mississippi's mighty
But it starts in minnesota
At a place that you could walk across
With five steps down
And I guess thats how you started
Like a pinprick to my heart
But at this point you rush right through me
And I start to drown

She won't recover from her losses,
She's not chosen this path, but she watches who it crosses
Maybe move to the right, maybe move to the left
So we can all see her pain she wears like a banner on her chest
And we all say it's sad, and we think it's a shame
And she's called to our attention, but we do not call her name,
The girl with the weight of the world in her hands.

Clearing webs from the hovel
A blistered hand on the handle of a shovel
I've been digging too deep, I always do

I see my face on the surface
I look a lot like narcissus
A dark abyss of an emptiness
Standing on the edge of a drowning blue

Hey Jesus it's me
I don't usually talk to you
But my baby's gonna leave me and there's something you must do
And I am not your faithful servant
I hang around sometimes with a bunch of your black sheep
But if you make my baby stay I'll make it up to you
And that's a promise I will keep

Let's not drag this out, everything's in motion,
Though I've only ever loved you kind and with devotion.
I remember when I met you, and even from the start,
I thought one day you'd probably just come home and break my heart.

It's funny what you know,
and still go on pretending
With no good evidence you'll ever see that happy ending...

When we tried to rework all of this
Each to her rendition
Painted ourselves in a corner
Lost for ideas blindly fishing
For a compliment or kindness
Just to bring us into view
But you could not interpret me and I could not interpret you

My grand-ma and your grand-ma were
Sittin' by the fire.
My grand-ma told your grand-ma:
I'm gonna set your flag on fire.

Talk-in' 'bout, Hey now ! Hey now !
I-KO, I-KO, un-day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ne

You said the world was magic,
I was wide-eyed and laughing,
we were dancing up to the bright side.
"Forget about your ego, forget about your pride,
and you will never have to compromise."
But you were only joking.
You were only joking, brother...

I sit two stories above the street,
It's awful quiet here since love fell asleep,
There's life down below me though;
The kids are walking home from school.

Some long ago when we were taught
That for whatever kind of puzzle you got
You just stick the right formula in;

All of the daddies were weathered
All of the mommas were torn
Still the whole village came in their finest to see
What could possibly be born
Out of a house divided, in a world so brutal and maimed
But then we saw the kids and found ourselves saying

We’re gonna make it up to you

Each time you'd pull down the driveway
I wasn't sure when I would see you again.
Yours was a twisted blind-sided highway
No matter which road you took then.

Oh you set up your place in my thoughts,
Moved in and made my thinking crowded.
Now we're out in the back with the barking dogs,

As I drive from your pearly gates
I realize that i just can't stay
All those mountains, they kept you locked inside
And hid the truth from my slighted eyes.

I came to you with a half-open heart,
dreams upon my back, illusions of a brand-new start.

I woke up this morning, grey dawn,
with a prayer on my breath.
I lost something precious,
God'll save me from losing myself.
I think I know what's wrong,
I think I know what's wrong.
Now, I met the Queen and I understand
why she closed the door

Dog at the window still
looks all day never gets her fill
Cause a glance means a chance
to break the birds out congregating.
I have seen a look like that,
you licked your chops from where you sat.
Make your kill for a thrill,
and yet I don't mind waiting...

I can go one day without calling
Two days without bawling
Three days without missing
But a lifetime of no kissing you
Is something that I just can’t do.
I wish I could be there to share the moon

I got more back for the breaking

I don't know if it was real or in a dream,
lately waking up I'm not sure where I've been.
There was a table set for six, and five were there,
I stood outside and kept my eyes upon that empty chair.
And there was steam on the windows from the kitchen,
Laughter like a language I once spoke with ease,
But I'm made mute by the virtue of decision,
And I choose most of your life goes on without me.

Baby, I've got the best intentions
I just can't do it
Baby, I've got the truest day
But I just can't win
Baby, I've got a good vibration
But I just can't play it
Baby, I spent my only fortune
On the wages of sin

I'm coming home with a stone, strapped onto my back.
I'm coming home with a burning hope turning all my blues to black.
I'm looking for a sacred hand to carve into my stone.
A ghost of comfort, angels breath - to keep this life inside my chest.
This world falls on me with hopes of immortality.
Everywhere I turn all the beauty just keeps shaking me.
I woke up in the middle of a dream, scared the world was too much for me.
