Spiral.

The most elaborate card house is decorated with sweeps and spirals that lead to the moon
But we made it to the moon and I'm on my way back down from the highest tower
I could have touched the stars one day but gave it up to see the play
And tumbled with the cards to the very bottom, looking up the whole time
Looking back the whole time at what I'm losing, and I am losing
I'm losing a whole opportunity again, and again, and again
I'm losing hope, and dreams, and all sorts of make believes
I'm losing my mind, and I'm to blame
But falling is oh so pretty.

Birdy

Bye bye, little birdy
You learn and fly away
Bye bye, little birdy
You've learned to spread your wings
Bye bye, my little birdy
Fly on to better things.

You opened up your wings
And blocked the sun out in the sky
You earned yourself some looks
And I admit that you had mine
But bye bye, my little birdy
Now I'll watch you fly away
Bye bye, little birdy
Now my friend has left me prey.

Rain

Reach out and grab my hand, but I'll let you down again.
I know we've tried to walk that line but I'll reign myself back in.
I'm secretive in some ways and have yet to let you in
But open in some others that will burden me again.
I'd hold strong if I could have and I'll want for you tonight
But even if my pillow's stained I will have won the fight.
I'd have held you at an arms length if I thought that it would help
But torture is a friend to vicious people, when you yelp.
I'll revel in the cries, if it's only for my pain
Because one day I will learn from this,
and dry up all the rain.

Prison suicide.

Tattooed in the skin, but leaks
The treasure of the men you seek
The knife you pressed against the skin
Leads fire to another end
Climbing the electric fence
You'll meet the devil where he rents
An hour of your time, you've lost
To get an hour, for his cost
You hold yourself against the wall
But realize now you're soon to fall
And we'll call it a suicide
When really it was forced by pride
Temptation will not cause the crime
But those who give in walk the line
Your mistress will not wait for you
Unless your death is what you choose
And Satan can now help you out
If you give up this choice to doubt
Let go! and give way today
There's nothing else we'll hear you say.
