What happened to all the men? The ones that made the world turn They knew how to treat us right And how to make our hearts burn It all seems like a myth now A magic beast found in the wild When every man you meet now Is a blundering fool or a child I want you to hold me like a man should Prove me wrong, and you might do some good What happened to all the men? The ones that used to be so strong Back when they had a backbone And would never do us wrong What happened to the passion? To the man who would die for his girl All we’re asking for is a little love Is there any of that left in the world? I want you to hold me like a man should Prove me wrong, and you might do some good

Dead End 04:25
I'm an empty vessel without a key The aftermath of a wreck, nothing left to see My ghost is somewhere wandering the streets Trying desperately to be invited back to me But I cast this soul aside because it’s heavy These thoughts in my head are too much for me I beg you to lift this anchor and you hear my plea But when you leave I know I'll never be free You are a nice vacation from my life But I'll never be your love, or your wife You break down all my walls, my friend But your love still leads to a dead end I'm an unused sword trapped in a stone With no mighty hero to take me home And a stubbornness that most do not condone But there are some battles I can't fight alone You always seem to know what to say To make me think things will change someday Like I'm charming in my own way Even though you see where my edges begin to fray Why am I so hard to love? When I try so hard to love? I’ll have you for now until you grow tired of me I’m an empty vessel, won’t you let me be

It’s warm, too warm in here We need to find a quieter place Where your lips become all I taste When they’re not whispering in my ear The night is still so young And there’s no time to waste So let’s grab our heavy jackets And let us make haste From jazz to jackhammers The brick lined streets and store fronts Where I kiss you under false moons And whisper all the things I want And reveal only the slightest of smiles Playing coy all the while You’re holding onto me like there’s nothing else And I slowly start to lose myself Tell me you think I’m pretty But don’t ever call me your sweet heart There’s nothing sweet about me When you're touching me in the dark The window where the city light seeps through The heat of the passion that keeps you This isn’t a night I want to sleep through I’ve got you now and I’m going to keep you I’m an animal in disguise And to displease me would be unwise I’m hungry and I have quite an appetite And you better not disappoint me tonight Tell me you think I’m pretty But don’t ever call me your sweet heart There’s nothing sweet about me When you're touching me in the dark I want to drink you in and make you bleed Just give me a sip of your deep dark blood You’re all I want and all I need Just give me the tip of your deep dark love

Skeletons 04:40
I lost faith in you, so many missed birthdays ago There was no storm, no high winds, no tidal waves Just the slow loss of someone you'll never know And the regret we will both take to our graves I was a lonely child, and you drove that dagger deeper But I bled silently so it never mattered I dreamt for a new life and I was a deep sleeper I never wanted to learn to deal with the life you shattered I can't replace you, so I erase you And every man I meet I hope he is nothing like you When I look in the mirror I hope I'm nothing like you I fear creating more life in your name Because it would kill me for them to end up the same Filled with anger, emptiness and shame Waiting for the love and approval that just never came And I remember the exact moment I lost faith in you When you became just a strange man I didn't trust When I knew if you'd die today it would be no loss Another skeleton turned to dust I can't replace you, so I erase you And every man I meet I hope he is nothing like you When I look in the mirror I hope I'm nothing like you

Through a window she stares at dried banks of a river She reaches for an empty glass and begins to quiver Remembering a young man who had offered it all But there are no pictures of him anywhere on her barren walls Le berceau est vide, le berceau est trop vide Elle leche ses larmes The hour glass marks twelve and she feels the weight of emptiness in her arms There were cruel winters and stubborn springs Where she often dreamt of love and other things And he was nothing but gentle and kind She was afraid of the white dress And preferred the life of childlessness and he frankly never did mind Le berceau est vide, le berceau est trop vide Elle leche ses larmes The hour glass marks twelve and she feels the weight of emptiness in her arms She sits me down and says "Ce pourrait etre votre avenir" We must keep the ones we love near So choose right and think deep But I'm still too young to see What kind of life awaits me And if this man is worth the loss of sleep But could I learn to love them? Le berceau est vide, le berceau est un miroir Elle leche ses larmes The hour glass marks twelve and she feels the weight of me still deciding in her arms
