For U With Love If U Leave Me Lyrics

For U With Love If U Leave Me lyrics

Violence

lent you my favorite dictionary

came back with ripped out pages

stopped by so uninvited

wasted good silverware on you

you can't trust violence



-



Below & Above

once you felt alive

present for a time

those below you whore themselves

those above you know



you're a friend of mine

bound by chains and wires

those below you whore themselves

those above you know



-



Shame

a long time you waited

you thought it had abated

shame of it all



the harm that it causes

pours down like a faucet

shame of it all



-



Throw Out The Line

throw out the line

man overboard

passenger fall

maybe the angels'll take him

come back no more



bride of my thoughts and anger

nothing to show

patience and strength come springtime

where will you go?



throw out the line



-



Swingin'

don't look up

I'll have to dictate from the ground

don't mind the sound

it's all familiar by now

and I'm swingin' so high



unforgiven

unimpressed by my first draft

she's a sinker

I should have taught her how to swim

and I'm swingin' so high
