Closer to the Light

well yeah
madam madam is weeping
for the vanguard has passed away
the custodians of love
are now a love letter to the grave
thoughts of one's mortality always on the mind
they close the lid and then grow closer to the light
well yeah
father tries to console her
but how? our birds no longer sing
madam just sobs and shudders
and father, well he just, he just drinks
thoughts of one's mortality always on the mind
they close the lid and then grow closer to the light
just see beyond their bows and curtains drawing tight
and see that all good mornings start with a good night
well yeah
madam madam so gentle
madam was cursed with a big heart
madam so sentimental
thought that in everyone there was art
thoughts of one's mortality always on the mind
they close the lid and then grow closer to the light
just see beyond their bows and curtains drawing tight
and see that all good mornings start with a good night
well yeah

we shall take the streets
peppermints are god

hey, will you still love me?

Tough Love
02:37
|
|||
|
heaven isn't that far away
it's always been within your grasp
you just need learn how to relax
and don't be overcome or dismayed
no matter what becomes of you
it lives on deep inside
i tried so hard
just to be the one
the one you loved
the one you want
but it's so hard
really does me up
I'll try my best
if that's enough
heaven isn't that far away
it's always been within your grasp
you just need learn how to relax
and don't you ever dare hesitate
with both hands you hold the blade and press
deep down inside
i tried so hard
just to be the one
the one you loved
the one you want
it breaks my heart
so damn much
you're turning away
but it's just tough love

Great Abandon
03:03
|
|||
|
long ago I was a blank sheet
could paint anything on me
but my little trembling hand
couldn't hold the brush, you see
the guilt of the heart
oh, the body that has no real master
oh, marionettes dance so wildly with such great abandon
there is a haunted house in me
all the ghosts of what I've seen
oh being alive does not mean
that you are living
the guilt of the heart
oh, the body that has no real master
oh, marionettes dance so wildly with such great abandon
here's to someday, passing away
having said all I wish to say
long ago I was a blank sheet
could paint anything on me
but my little trembling hand
couldn't hold the brush, you see
the guilt of the heart
oh, the body that has no real master
oh, marionettes dance so wildly with such great abandon

Dear Perfection
04:26
|
|||
|
we've been waiting for this forever
never felt like we'd ever see it get better
but i always knew that we'd go far
the Peppermints are the sweetest stars
well, we knew it was lost
and no amount of pretend can fix
what is meant to break
but it's not all that bad
it's something that's gonna stick around
for a long, long time
oh will you let me take your the hand
and lead you through this merry land?
i know there's no good in goodbyes
but sometimes you just have to cry
but they know that you
always love them
and they know that you
will always be there
and they know that you
loved to build them up
and they know that you
cried
i now know what i want
and god help anybody who tries to get in my way
the sum of our parts
the undeniable proof that we were here
we've been waiting for this forever
a little ribbon on all the pain we caused together
they closed the lid, grew closer to the light
the Peppermints bow and say goodnight
let's summer in my field of kin
where i have you hand in hand again
i've always sang my hearts accord
and will for as long as my body affords
so let me take you by the hand
and lead you through this merry land
i want to live the life i wish
and so with heavy hearts we split
there's nothing good about goodbyes
but there's no good in living lies
just turn a smile towards the end
don't think i didn't have this planned

Faythless
02:35
|
|||
|
there's still room amongst the stars
for someone who's like you
good company for someone who
always had to choose
I know there's a star
but what else can I do?
I know there's a reason
but it simply cannot do
bless the world inside your eyes
that colors your whole view
so sorry for everyone
who can't see what you do
I know I'm a star
but what else can I do?
I know there's a reason
but it simply cannot do

From Peppermints to You
00:59
|

|
and you laughed as we would walk away
"this is my peppermancy"
oh so sure that everyone would sing
your dirges while they cried to sleep
sha na na
