| brendan says this song is almost a love song between a man and his guilt, how he gets used to it and learns to live in it like a home | |

messed up those lyrics sorry. heres the right ones I watched my guilt blossom before me Like a tender shoot With thirsty roots O’ how my garden grows The shameful seeds I’ve sown I watched its stems sprawl above me Its dark shadow cast its cloud around me But I can live with it I’ll live in it There’s no place like home Stretch your arms around me Cast your cloud above me Curtained, kept, and covered in Your solemn vow, “Ever you go, I’ll follow.” Grow your roots within me Drink of me you thirsty seed I cower, cringe, and tremble at Your solemn vow, “Ever you go, I’ll follow you.” There’s no place like home There’s no place like home (I can learn to live with this) There’s no place like home (If I can learn to live in it) Heavied we’re so heavy If she only knew just how sorry I was (Heavied we’re so heavy) If she only knows… Sticks and stones won’t break my bones It’s the branches and boulders I shoulder Stick and stones won’t break my bones I can live with it If I can learn to live with this If I can learn to live |

| The Receiving End Of Sirens – The Heir of Empty Breath Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
And the solemn verse resounds… Heavy lies the twisted crown As it hovers above The disgrace I’ve become Like a blemish on otherwise perfect skin Like a scar from a sore Like a stain that’s set in I wallow in what I could have been Take me away Away from this place Come like a thief in the night Be a rapture and take me away From these sentiments turned sediment From this crude cast of our intent From the boulder we can’t set aside. Come like a thief in the night Be my vision and take me away With all the pigments that you’ve shed (So pale and porous) I’m the heir of empty breaths, Of sulfur and sweat, I’m the king of what could have been I have wed my regret, she’s my blushing bride Like an ache Like a cramp I can’t lose So I wallow in what I could have been Be a fleeting glimpse Of what could have been That comes to me Every now and again And I’ll just pretend to carry on, carelessly Your glimpses are ever fleeting You’re the crutch on which I’m leaning Come to me Hold me up be my stilt, my splint Be my brace, be mine So I can carry on, carelessly |

| The Receiving End Of Sirens – The Salesman, The Husband, The Lover Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Baby boy had a big ol’ heart, Large enough to tear apart And split evenly in two Evenly in two Mom and Dad had a rocky start Too much head too little heart Soon one turned into two One two Dirty hands made separate beds And folded sheets in which they slept Oh what’s a boy to do? What’s a boy to do? When daddy finds ten dollar whores And liquor stores Can offer more Than his family More than his friends More than the woman that he wed “O no. What a shameful seed I’ve sown.” Then one day daddy walked away From his wife and the child they had made It must have been too much It must have been too much Mommy tried her best to pay The bills so that her son could stay In the house that he was raised The sons fight the father’s war You shadow, you ghost Look how crooked I’ve grown What a shameful seed you’ve sown What a seed you’ve sown The place where love grew too old Too old and broken to appraise Court ordered visits meant weekends with his Dad Where he learned his share of lessons on how to drink like his old man Back home his mother packed her bags And the dreams That she watched drown For a single room apartment in the seedy part of town Baby boy became the dad His family had always lacked A spitting image of the man Down to the way he turned his back He inherited his cheating; an heir to his drunken breath His father willed him arrogance and passed down his empty chest “Be a lightbulb” I’m a wishbone “Be a rifle; a telephone” I’m just here for you to use I’ve got nothing left to lose I’m the wardship battle I’m the remnants of the precious metals That weigh you both down We are heavied o’ so heavy We are heavied o’ so heavy |

| The Receiving End Of Sirens – Disappear (Oubliette) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I watched you steal away A man’s best years With the drumming of his fingers With the kicking of his heels I watched you put away Your sweetest sins I watched tempters satisfied With the sweet taste Of wasted time Don’t let me disappear Don’t let me fall apart Don’t lead me to the wayside Just don’t let me go Don’t let me fade away I watched him travel down A steady road With no milestones Just a gentle slope Soft underfoot, No sudden turns to warn of sliding Down that safe and sound But all too familiar road This is all too familiar Don’t let me disappear Don’t let me fall apart Don’t lead me to the wayside Just don’t let me go Don’t let me fade away Just keep this off my mind Anything or not a thing will do I watched you steal away A man’s best years With the drumming of his fingers With the kicking of his heels Without the twinkle in his eye I watched him beg and plead with moving lips And bended knee Just to have you back Be numb my heart O’ nothingness Don’t let me disappear Don’t let me fall apart Don’t lead me to the wayside Just don’t let me go Don’t let me fade away They’ve got you wrapped around their fingers Because anything or not a thing will do (A dead fire in a cold room) |

| The Receiving End Of Sirens – Swallow People Whole Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
From the manger to the morgue Strangers are born and reborn Giving birth to the wages of sin... and claiming it came from within Within me there's a gaping hole And it seems I'm last to know And no one, or thing, can fill this empty space that I've been pacing in I fell in love with an empty place But I want change But I won't change I can't feel a thing The pins and needles sing... "I can say it But I won't mean a thing Because I know you'll fall for Each and every pretty word I sing." Spirits spin me around once more Sin if you sing the overture That lulls me back to sleep I swear I'm yours to keep Consumed with consuming And soon I'll Swallow people whole I'll have back what strangers stole If I can't find my happiness I'll soon devour yours I'll sing your weary head to rest With my overture Because I fell in love with that empty place But I want yours But I want yours For it I fell For it I fell so fast For it I fell For it I fell so hard For it I fell For it I fell so fast For it I fell, I fell for it We lose ourselves once more |

| The Receiving End Of Sirens – Wanderers Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This little light of mine I was told to let it shine But I stood idly by And watched that poor flame die I kept it from the bushel and brush And away from the grasp of men I left that lantern in the light Where my flame could blend right in I will bear this cross I will wear these thorns But I know All this dark won't swallow All the light I hide But still host Her I'll learn to hold She will grow and grow She will shine so bright "Don't let Satan blow it out." The teachers always said But soon enough he figured out It wasn't worth his breathe 'Cuz this little light of mine Is losing all its' bright Not to the dark I hold inside But to the dark kept from its sight Below the smoke still burns a fire A small spark lives 'nearth all these ashes Promise me you'll blow until I glow red, bright fiery red I've learned to smolder All smoke but no flame Ashes ashes we all fall down (I long to glow like you embers, bright halogen embers) I will bear this cross I will wear these thorns But I know All this dark won't swallow All the light I hide But still host Her I'll learn to hold She will grow and grow She will shine so bright Ashes to ashes we all fall down This little light of mine I was told to let it shine But I stood idly by... |

| The Receiving End Of Sirens – A Realization of the Ear Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Don't love me Don't you dare care for me I will only bring you pain All the pleasure you can gather in this place Will just amount to shame All the bright colors I've ever loved will learn to fade So bring back the womb O' God Or bring on the grave So this is what it's like What it's like to disappear With the music of the spheres still ringing in my ear How will I find my way out of this? |

"The inquiry of mystery" "But she plays fake affection, and carefully lacks objection, to a gentleman callers twisted desires." "We dance around the room, my love I’ll carry you, and I’ll teach you how to treat and leave this ugly path you'll make"(?) |
