Can I ask you something? What did you expect? So disappointed With what you get Do you ever want to Just get out of here? So disappointed; You disappear
But I knew when I was in the suds and swimmin' around But then all of a sudden I heard this rumblin' sound I saw this thing that looked a lot like a submarine With a pretty girl on the bridge, could this be a dream? I don't know, could be
"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"
All I need is a happy home... Some place I wouldn't have to be alone... It'll be nice to have some candle light... Light the fire in your heart at night... Little bit of love...

This song is the last song on the last album Neil probably wrote on the Clockwork Angel's album.......
The Garden
In this one of many possible worlds, all for the best, or some bizarre test? It is what it is - and whatever Time is still the infinite jest
The arrow files when you dream, the hours tick away - the cells tick away The Watchmaker keeps to his schemes The hours tick away - they tick away
The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect So hard to earn, so easily burned In the fullness of time A garden to nurture and protect
In the rise and the set of the sun 'Til the stars go spinning - spinning 'round the night It is what it is - and forever Each moment a memory in flight
The arrow flies while you breathe, the hours tick away - the cells tick away The Watchmaker has time up his sleeve The hours tick away - they tick away
The treasure of a life is a measure of love and respect The way you live, the gifts that you give In the fullness of time It's the only return that you expect
The future disappears into memory With only a moment between Forever dwells in that moment Hope is what remains to be seen
Peace

Join in my, join in my child, And listen, I've been digging through my old numb shadow...
My shadow's Shedding skin I've been picking Scabs again. I'm down Digging through My old muscles Looking for a clue.
I've been crawling on my belly Clearing out what could've been. I've been wallowing in my own confused and insecure delusions For a piece to cross me over Or a word to guide me in. I wanna feel the changes coming down. I wanna know what I've been hiding in My shadow. My shadow.
Change is coming through my shadow. My shadow's shedding skin I've been picking My scabs again.
Join in my Join in my child My shadow moves Closer to meaning
I've been crawling on my belly Clearing out what could've been. I've been wallowing in my own chaotic, insecure delusions.
I wanna feel the change consume me, Feel the outside turning in. I wanna feel the metamorphosis and Cleansing I've endured in My shadow My shadow
Change is coming. Now is my time. Listen to my muscle memory. Contemplate what I've been clinging to. Forty-six & 2 ahead of me.
I choose to live and to grow, Take and give and to move, Learn and love and to cry, Kill and die and to be paranoid and to lie, Hate and fear and to do What it takes to move through.
I choose to live and to lie, Kill and give and to die, Learn and love and to do What it takes to step through.
See my shadow changing, Stretching up and over me. Soften this old armor. Hoping I can clear the way By stepping through my shadow, Coming out the other side. Step into the shadow. Forty-six & 2 are just ahead of me
Stars are suns to other people.

When I stole a twig from our little nest And gave it to a bird with nothing in her beak I had my balls and my brains put into a vice And twisted around for a whole fuckin' week "Why'd you do it?",she said "Why'd you let that trash Get a hold of your cock get stoned on my hash?" "Why'd you do it?",she said "Why'd you let her suck your cock? Oh, do me a favor don't put me in the dark" "Why'd you do it?",she said "They're mine all your jewels You just tied me to the mast of the ship of fools" "Why'd you do it",she said "When you know it makes me sore 'Cause she had cobwebs up her fanny And I believe in giving to the poor" "Why'd you do it", she said "Why'd you spit on my snatch? Are we out of love now is this just a bad patch?" "Why'd you do it", she said "Why'd you do what you did? You drove my ego to a really bad skid" "Why'd you do it", she said "Ain't nothing to laugh You just tore all our kisses right in half" "Why'd you do it", she said "Why'd you do what you did Betray my little oyster for such a low bid?" "Why'd you do it", she said "Why'd you do what you did?" You drove my ego to a really bad skid" "Why'd you do it", she screamed After all we've said "Every time I see your dick, I see her cunt in my bed" Well the whole room was swirling Her lips were still curling "Oh why'd you do it",she said,"Why'd you do what you did?" "Why'd you do it", she said, "Why'd you do what you did?" "Why'd you do it", she said, "Why'd you do it", she said "Why'd you do what you did?"

I wish i was the souvenir you kept your house key on..
You might say I was stuck on a pin
With only one way to go
Not in, not in.
I had to get out, way way out
Beyond the pale
Strictly no sale.
Just to get out of my head
Anything to take me out of my head.

What did you expect?
So disappointed
With what you get
Do you ever want to
Just get out of here?
So disappointed;
You disappear
NIN Disappointed
But then all of a sudden I heard this rumblin' sound
I saw this thing that looked a lot like a submarine
With a pretty girl on the bridge, could this be a dream?
I don't know, could be
Ooh yeah, I'm burnin' with desire and I'm much too hot to handle
I'm like a runaway, crazy train, I'm out of control
If you try to put the brakes on, I'm still gonna roll
And she loves me to this day
I still can't remember when
Or how I lost my way..''

Nor the lines in your face
Nor the clouds on the ceiling
Nor the clouds in space
It's not the phone on the table
Nor the bed in the earth
Nor the bed in the stable
Nor your stable words
It's not the formless being
Nor the cry in the air
Nor the boy I'm seeing
With her long black hair
It's not the open weaving
Nor the furnace glow
Nor the blood of you bleeding
As you try to let go
Not beginning
Not the crowd
Not winning
Not the planet

Not a ruse
Not heat
Not the fire lapping up the creek
Not food

Nor your spine tattoo
Nor your shimmery eye
Nor the wet of the dew

Not food
That you eat

Nor the bed that is haunted
With the blanket of thirst
It's not the hunger revealing

Nor the hand that is healing
Nor the nameless grave
Not beginning
Not the crowd
Not winning
Not the planet
That's spinning
Not a ruse
Not heat
Not the fire lapping up the creek
Not food

Not dying
Not to laugh
Not lying
Not the vacant wilderness vying
Not beginning

The Garden
In this one of many possible worlds, all for the best, or some bizarre test?
It is what it is - and whatever
Time is still the infinite jest
The arrow files when you dream, the hours tick away - the cells tick away
The Watchmaker keeps to his schemes
The hours tick away - they tick away
The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect
So hard to earn, so easily burned
In the fullness of time
A garden to nurture and protect
In the rise and the set of the sun
'Til the stars go spinning - spinning 'round the night
It is what it is - and forever
Each moment a memory in flight
The arrow flies while you breathe, the hours tick away - the cells tick away
The Watchmaker has time up his sleeve
The hours tick away - they tick away
The treasure of a life is a measure of love and respect
The way you live, the gifts that you give
In the fullness of time
It's the only return that you expect
The future disappears into memory
With only a moment between
Forever dwells in that moment
Hope is what remains to be seen
Peace

And listen, I've been digging through my old numb shadow...
My shadow's
Shedding skin
I've been picking
Scabs again.
I'm down
Digging through
My old muscles
Looking for a clue.
I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own confused and insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over
Or a word to guide me in.
I wanna feel the changes coming down.
I wanna know what I've been hiding in
My shadow.
My shadow.
Change is coming through my shadow.
My shadow's shedding skin
I've been picking
My scabs again.
Join in my
Join in my child
My shadow moves
Closer to meaning
I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic, insecure delusions.
I wanna feel the change consume me,
Feel the outside turning in.
I wanna feel the metamorphosis and
Cleansing I've endured in
My shadow
My shadow
Change is coming.
Now is my time.
Listen to my muscle memory.
Contemplate what I've been clinging to.
Forty-six & 2 ahead of me.

I wish i was the souvenir you kept your house key on..
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Music loud and women warm
I've been kicked around since I was born
Everyday, any way
(She goes down) all night long
She goes down
She goes down, down, down, down
All of the night
Lick those lips
Do you up right
Up and down
Round and round
Round the world
Scream it out
When I stole a twig from our little nest
And gave it to a bird with nothing in her beak
I had my balls and my brains put into a vice
And twisted around for a whole fuckin' week
"Why'd you do it?",she said
"Why'd you let that trash
Get a hold of your cock get stoned on my hash?"
"Why'd you do it?",she said
"Why'd you let her suck your cock?
Oh, do me a favor don't put me in the dark"

"Why'd you do it", she screamed
After all we've said
"Every time I see your dick, I see her cunt in my bed"
Well the whole room was swirling
Her lips were still curling
"Oh why'd you do it",she said,"Why'd you do what you did?"
"Why'd you do it", she said, "Why'd you do what you did?"
"Why'd you do it", she said, "Why'd you do it", she said
