Song lyrics
edit- I'll take the best of your bad moods
and dress them up to make a better you,
'cause all the company calls amount to one paycheck.- Company Calls
- Crashing through the parlor doors, what was your first reaction?
Screaming, drunk, disorderly: I'll tell you mine.
You were the one, but I can't
spit it out when the date's been set.- Company Calls Epilogue
The Photo Album (2002)
edit- I'm in Los Angeles today;
garbage cans comprise the medians
of freeways always creeping,
even when the population's sleeping.
And I can't see why you'd want to live here.- Why You'd Want to Live Here
Transatlanticism (2003)
edit- And there's no blame
For how our love did slowly fade
And now that it's gone
It's like it wasn't there at all
And here I rest where disappointment and regret collide
Lying awake at night.
- I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
When the water filled every hole.
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
Making islands where no island should go.- Transatlanticism
- If heaven and hell decide
that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the "no"'s on their vacancy signs.
If there's no one beside you
when your soul embarks
I'll follow you into the dark.
- Burn it down 'til the embers smoke on the ground
And start new when your heart is an empty room
With walls of the deepest blue [...]
And all you see is where else you could be when you're at home
And out on the street there are so many possibilities to not be alone- "Your Heart is an Empty Room," as quoted from the album's liner notes
- But I'm thinking of what Sarah said.
That "love is watching someone die".
So who's gonna watch you die?- "What Sarah Said"[citation needed]
