The Hard Sell

Rose: Original ceiling minimal rusting
Hardwood floors make easy dusting
Plaster walls built in bookcases
Two non working fire places
1 bedroom with cedar closet
Claw foot tub with pewter faucets
Range top stove refrigerator
Sign here ask questions later
Laura: What's with this fireplace
There's something about this fireplace
Its like a song
That's caught my ear
Travis: This molding looks like needs replacing
Rose: A nice big window
Travis: Brick wall facing
Rose: Plenty of space with natural lighting
Travis: The color of the foyer is fairly frightening.
Laura: What's with this fireplace?
There's something about this fireplace
I'm in awe
Or is that fear?
Travis: I don't know its so expensive
The neighborhood makes me apprehensive
This kitchen's small for proper cooking
I think we should keep on looking
Laura: Trav I think its rather charming
Claw foot tubs are so disarming
Its a lot but we can make it
Rose my dear, I think we'll take it
And this fireplace
There's something about this fireplace
Like its been waiting for me here.

The Aching

Maurice: The waiting
The aching
Days upon years of a freezing existence
The darkness
The silence
Oblivion laid on a cold slab of sorrow
But now
This girl
Now
This girl
She's glowing
She's shining
A light in these hallways until now in darkness
She knows me
She shows me
All the things left in this world to wake up for
I've slept
So long
But now
This girl
She speaks my name as if she knows me
What can I do
To make her hear my true voice?
All I can do
Is clang these damn pipes

Him or Me
03:18

Maurice:
Is it him or me
What has he got
That I haven't got
Flesh for one
She can cling to his while he walks next to her
Flesh for one
I'm a shadow I barely exist to her
Flesh for one
Is it him or me
What has he got
That I haven't got
He's got silver and gold
He can buy her things take her to restaurants
Silver and gold
I have nothing I'm homeless and penniless.
Silver and gold
Is it him or me
What have I got
That he hasn't got
I got class and charm
I can comfort her sing her a melody
Class and charm
He's abrasive and lacking in subtlety
Class and charm
Is it him or me
Could she forgive me
For all my sins
I don't know
I'm a murderer guilty of homicide
She doesn't know
That my actions were valiant and justified
God knows
God no

Stop Hiding

I can't see you till you stop hiding
What on earth could be more clear
Come out from behind these walls
And swallow all your pride and fear
I can't see you till you stop hiding
Its time to play another game
Hopscotch or maybe capture the flag
Whatever you can name
You know I'd never try to shame you
The only judge is in the sky
I know you're shy and I don't blame you
I can see you were ashamed enough to die
But fly now to me
I can't see you till you stop hiding
Feels like I know you from the past
Come out and show yourself
So I can understand this feeling
That's all that I ask
I know there's no way to contain you
Only a fool would even try
I'm feeling love though its insane to
I'm waiting for the godlight from your eyes
To shine down on me
Olly olly oxen free
Jiggity jig
I can't see you till you stop hiding
I mean you no harm rest assured
I'm reaching our to you with only kindness with my arms and my words
Jiggity jig.
