Muzzle

(Alternate (partial early handwritten lyrics) title/lyrics for Muzzle)

 

Alt. Lyrics

[typed at top, from Porcelina]
don't mistake me for anyone by me
as far as you take me, to the edge of belief

[handwritten sideways on left edge, from Muzzle]
and of this world
we surely do belong

and of this world
left in your hands
and of this world so
hard to understand

[handwritten on right side, not known to be part of any existing song]
I see her face in
passing cars
I see her face in
burnt out stars
I see her face in
the bombed out
bars of gainesville

  Normal Lyrics

i fear that i am ordinary, just like everyone
to lie here and die among the sorrows
adrift among the days
for everything i ever said
and everything i've ever done is gone and dead
as all things must surely have to end
and great loves will one day have to part
i know that i am meant for this world
my life has been extraordinary
blessed and cursed and won
time heals but i'm forever broken
by and by the way...
have you ever heard the words
i'm singing in these song?
it's for the girl i've loved all along
can a taste of love be so wrong
as all things must surely have to end
and great loves will one day have to part
i know that i am meant for this world
and in my mind as i was floating
far above the clouds
some children laughed i'd fall for certain
for thinking that i'd last forever
but i knew exactly where i was
and i knew the meaning of it all
and i knew the the distance to the sun
and i knew the echo that is love
and i knew the secrets in your spires
and i knew the emptiness of youth
and i knew the solitude of heart
and i knew the murmurs of the soul
and the world is drawn into your hands
and the world is etched upon your heart
and the world so hard to understand
is the world you can't live without
and i knew the silence of the world

 

Notes
