They called me crazy When I showed up on the scene Took a major modern city And painted it rattle can green Now nobody laughs At my political machine They call me “Great and Powerful” Like they know what that means… It’s all a lie, But when you fall from the sky You’d be amazed at what will fly If you’ve got the guts to try it Now I’m All tangled up in green - When they asked for magic, I delivered. Don’t look behind the screen - I’m a good man… But a lousy wizard. Back home in Kansas, I was nothin’ but a sham. I was a homely little humbug Just a shadow of a man Now here I am! I’m the wizard with the plan! Just don’t ask to me to reveal it - ‘Cause I don’t think that I can. It’s not allowed. You can scrape, you can bow, But no one gets to see the wizard, Not nobody, not no how, now I’m - All tangled up in green - Let the Munchkins call me lily-livered… Don’t look behind the screen - I’m a good man… But a lousy wizard. Lately I’ve been filled with doubt If they ever found me out… Oh, God, there’d be hell to pay, And I guess that’s only fair… See the wizard stand alone, A liar on an emerald throne… I miss the mornings at the county fairs When they’d wait for my balloon to take them so high in the air When they knew the magic was a trick, and no one really cared That’s what they came for… Witches to the south and west, Witches to the east, I’m the joker in the middle, And I’m lying through my teeth I’m having a blast I just hope that I can keep Up all the ruses I’ve been using If the people stay asleep I should be fine - Pay that curtain no mind! It’s my last line of defense, And there’s so much on the line… Now I’m - All tangled up in green - There are consequences to consider Don’t look behind the screen - I’m a good man… But a lousy wizard. All tangled up in green - If you ask for magic, I’ll deliver. Don’t look behind the screen - I’m a good man… But a lousy wizard.

A call came, an emergency In the middle of the night A neighbor said they were at it again They were having another fight When more than an hour later The cops finally arrived The man's blood was everywhere A knife stuck in his side A woman sitting silently, looking straight ahead They took her into custody They took her straight to jail They asked her questions for hours on end She only said, "Go to hell!" They asked her if he was hurting her If it was self defense But she refused to say a word She kept them in suspense A woman sitting silently, staring straight ahead And no-one can understand why she won't tell the truth She won't tell us what he did, how she suffered the abuse And the reason will never be revealed She'll take it to her grave The bailiff asked the room to rise But she stayed in her seat The judge was asking her the questions But she refused to speak It didn't take them long to vote For the verdict to be reached They put the chains around each wrist Then they put them around her feet A woman sitting silently, staring straight ahead And no-one can understand why she won't tell the truth She won't tell us what he did, how she suffered the abuse And the reason will never be revealed She'll take it to her grave

Riding incognito on the bus I overhear Her job’s on the bubble Recognizable street shoes In the next stall A marriage in trouble Now I know something you don’t know No fun if I tell you right away How much will you beg me to say Is there a place we can go It’s about someone you know Just 5 seconds on the floor,I look around and pick it up.

Four boys Found something amiss Crossed teeth Lipless grimace In Hagley Wood In ‘43 A skull within a Wych Elm tree Taffeta cloth Forced in your mouth Your skeleton sleeps In a wooden shroud Chop down the tree No rings to count The trail gone cold While rumours abound White paint graffiti Writ for all to see Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? Did you awake In your living tomb? Scratch at the walls Realise you were doomed? But somebody knows what happened to you Fear we’re unable To unearth the truth Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? I don’t care what secrets you sold No-one deserves to die in the cold Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?

I slammed the door and flew right down the stairs out from your mother's I dodged the growling dog who's always been quite warm to others Couldn't let you get the last word, one that always cuts the keenest It was the last word that would ever pass between us there's something I really should have told you that I really should have told you but I made all my mistakes and now you're gone there's something I really should have told you and I know that you're too cold to even care; I should have told you but you're gone you looked so very tiny in my filthy rear view mirror as grudges often tend to once your head's a little clearer and when the funeral home sent round a postcard to invite me sheepishly I dropped the grudge I'd held onto so tightly there's something I really should have told you that I really should have told you but I made all my mistakes and now you're gone there's something I really should have told you and I know that you're too cold to even care; I should have told you but you're gone so I'll tell it to your ashes that I buried in the backyard not spread to sea like I promised I would do just one more trivial disservice it might be for the best you never knew there's nothing I could have done to stop you your mind was made up long before we met I know I'm not the only reason but being one is something I regret I should have told you but you're gone there's something I really should have told you that I really should have told you but I made all my mistakes and now you're gone there's something I really should have told you and I know that you're too cold to even care; I should have told you but you're gone

What does it matter if I tell you now? This awful secret that I’ve kept somehow I bottled it up and squir’lled it inside Now my heart is dying and I’m barely alive The guilty ignore their conscience and risk a dissonant brain and a near-constant crisis It’s a tiny detail from aeons ago I thought you’d noticed and it started to show I distracted with presents and ebullient charm I held my nerve when you raised the alarm The guilty ignore their conscience and risk a dissonant brain and a near-constant crisis Our mutual friends they will take your side This never ends until one of us decides The guilty ignore their conscience and risk a dissonant brain and a near constant crisis We look out and down across a wide-mouthed bay The crashing waves wash the rocks away; I gave the game away I looked before I leapt so did not jump You may not be so lucky if I give you a nudge

Dear diary I’ve got something to say. words I can’t speak out loud, so I'll write them down I shoulder the weight of them Send them through this burdened pen If I carry them much longer I might drown The world outside is suffocating within this page I’m liberated I give you my all secrets you ease my mind. It tires me, wears my soul down each day To play a part on the stage, and not hide in the page. A shadow of what I feel, But would they accept what’s real? Or would they turn their backs and just walk away The world outside is suffocating within this page I’m liberated I give you my all secrets you ease my mind. Someday far from now, When the ink runs dry I won’t need this armor to get me by I won’t need to hide in words just so I can fit in, A future spoken proudly, a diary unwritten Inspire me, Lead me away from this place I’m lost in this crowd with pen and paper vows Scratching away the pain, Tears and Ink smeared in the rain Standing alone, always searching, never found. The world outside is suffocating within this page I’m liberated I give you my all secrets you ease my mind. The world outside just won’t keep waiting I turn the page, sign and date it I gave you all my secrets Now, ease my mind.

Verse Out in the desert I met a spiritual man We became quick friends And he surprised me He pulled some seeds from his pocket He said they don't have a name We call them the ancient ones The orange vines will amaze Chorus Plant these seeds, Watch them grow Let the vines entice you Learn it's secrets But never tell a soul Watch them dance See them glow Let them mesmerize you Learn it's secrets But never tell a soul Verse Back in my home town I dug a hole in the yard I tended to the plants And watched as they grew up The beautiful color I stared for hours a day I started hearing voices What are they saying Bridge I understand, I understand The secrets whispered by the land It's all so clear There's really nothing to fear I understand, I understand The secrets whispered by the land The universe, it all makes sense But I can't speak to anyone Chorus Plant these seeds, Watch them grow Let the vines entice you Learn it's secrets But never tell a soul Watch them dance See them glow Let them mesmerize you Learn it's secrets But never tell a soul

Don’t say anything Not a single peep Just keep it buried deep Not a word to anybody They’ll try to get you rattled There’s nothing you can’t handle A secret’s only as good as it can keep You know too well what happens when one’s loyalty runs thin Just remember eyes are everywhere Don’t say anything I have no idea I have not one I’ll take the consequences You may drag me away You can break my legs You can keep my eyes from seeing You can tie my hands behind my back You can cause my vertebrae to crack You can put cement around my socks You can do whatever I won’t talk And I will walk... I don’t know what you want That’s all I know You’re going to have to believe me You can hobble my feet You can pull my teeth You can keep my lungs from breathing You can tie my hands behind my back You can cause my vertebrae to crack You can put cement around my socks You can do whatever I won’t talk The walls are closing My will is broken The book is open I’m telling all that I know There's only so much one can take Don't, don't, don't...

Verse 1: It’s been almost 20 years We’ve loved, we’ve lost, we’ve cried some tears I thought we’d grown, become mature But now I find it’s all a fraud Chorus: My girl thinks I don’t know But I know and I know she don’t know And that said it’s all a big no That she sees him when I’m not home oh no Verse 2: The house, almost paid it off We’ve been we’ve seen we’ve done it all I felt so rich beyond our years But now I see it’s all for nought Bridge: She spends her days Finding ways To lie To hide To set aside The only one She really finds Fills her up

How is your will represented? Is your vote equally weighted? Should it be this way? Are you sure that everything's okay? What do the candidates really think? Do they convey it when they speak? Is it refelected in their actions? Or should we look at their transactions? Are they the voice of the masses? Or only of high classes? Do their actions match their words? Or is that patently absurd? Does democracy even work? Or is it all a great big joke? We pretend it's not the same That we're not pawns in their game. But the people are alone With the issues we bemoan. A just world is just a dream That's the secret, it would seem.

I don’t have the words that do justice to myself I don’t have the voice to sing my thoughts I want to tell you I try to find a way to speak a language you can hear But I know I’m often rambling unclear I don’t know if you can tell how much I truly care I try to leave you messages and breadcrumbs everywhere Maybe when you pick them up you you’ll get a sense of how I’m failing to convey the love I feel—love deep profound I am lost in this story Love’s a foreign language for me I never learned to speak it I don’t mean to keep secrets I don’t hear the messages from my families Neither from the ones I chose or the others who chose me All the tries to to pick me up, to give me what I need Landed flat when I dropped them at my feet I am lost in this story Love’s a foreign language for me I never learned to read it It’s kept from me a secret I don’t know how to tell anybody that I appreciate their vision of me I don’t know how to say the simplest Thing about my whole existence I’m so grateful for my people Why can’t I just be real I am lost in this story Love’s a foreign language for me I never learned to speak it I don’t mean to keep secrets I am lost in this story Love’s a foreign language for me I never learned to speak it I don’t mean to keep secrets

She sleeps next to the Bible On the bottom of my drawer Her friends are in the kitchen Whenever I need more And I never leave without it She goes every where I go My sweetest little honey I’ll see you in the mornin She sits next to the Bible The one I keep inside my dash And there’s three under the awning For when I’m low on cash My honeys never wronged me Save a time or two When things start to get heavy I come running home to you She lives under my pillow And she sings me to sleep She quiets all the demons That I don’t wish to keep My cellar door is open Please don’t come inside I’m running to the corner store My favorite place to hide She kneels down with my Bible Only way to get it in the church Those chapel owls might judge me Fuck them and fuck their perch I know what I’m about son I’ve never had a doubt I met the devil in El Paso And she’s never let me out She sits on top my bible Cuz He’s the only one to know And I know just how to hide it When the demon starts to glow My family won’t forgive me That’s for the lord to do My sweet honey is liquor And they haven’t got a clue They found my dashboard Bible Laid on the shattered glass The flashing lights surrounding me To put together what had passed I was kissing on my honey When I swerved into my grave That steering column it my head Gave me a cobain shave

Chorus: We watch our secrets Turn into regrets And I want to mean it When I stand by you Take it or leave it Forget and repeat it No one concedes when We are in bloom I already think you know it But I don’t want to show my cards to you We all love the information Even more we love manipulation and a view We care less what we are saying Than honing the games we are playing Chorus People go through waves and phases Like moons we cycle back through what’s been said Some stories are for the ages Though they’ll never make it on the pages to be read And we care less what we care less what we are doin’ More worried about who we’re foolin’ Chorus We watch our secrets Secrets We watch our secrets Secrets

In a sunbaked parking lot Watch the shimmer of the heat; it feels so hot Ain't it something that you can perceive it? Out there, there are other realms Out here, inherently obscured Right here, I know there's more than this My biology is keeping secrets from me My physiology is limiting what I perceive. Try to see just like a bee UV Tetrachromacy The world is made of lemon juice Won't you be my blacklight? There's a song you will never hear Beyond the limits of your ears Wouldn't it be cool if we could perceive just 10% more Out there, there are other realms Out here, inherently obscured Right here, I know there's more than this My biology is keeping secrets from me My physiology is limiting what I perceive. What I perceive...

After accomplishing self-independence, a grim chain of events So mediocre, compounded by living, Separation is a given We are now squandered, placed in our own cubicles As productive adults Every piece of advice I was handed Was a preparedness for isolation insurance Acceptance which I reprimand It doesn’t have to be building this way Now the tide reins in Who has to beg their friends slyly to stay? Us who mainly grew up Hermit, you live on lucky Surfeit, no community Pulpit, no committing to a Gambit for status Your inner impetus powers you through all the darkness of one Forcefully safely alone in your bunker your introversion is your crux After accomplishing self-independence, a grim chain of events Leads to repetitive stressful disorders and then some more turns Cleaning up everybody’s mess Hermit, secretly liking Walled-in, methods of living Wouldn’t, give any up for the World, and it shows And I’m jealous I wish I could cut myself off from the world like You do You are not merely at peace with adult isolation, but it strengthens you How? Why? What’s your secret? How do you turn your back outwards and mean it? How? Why? What’s your secret? How do you turn your back outwards and mean it? How?

Hello? Tell me can you hear, are you coming around? Hello? Do you remember anything about The road you travelled on to end up in this crowd? You know we work together but we die alone But on the outside we’re still hopeful Because we don’t know what’s going on yeah yeah yeah The 9 to 5 - we keep it secret from ourselves we lock it deep inside yeah yeah yeah Hello - welcome back - you never really leave It shows there’s always one more trick up our sleeve And so take a break and beg for some reprieve Alone, you’re dying for a cause you’ll never see And on the outside we’re still broken Because we don’t know what’s going on yeah yeah yeah The 9 to 5 - we keep it secret from ourselves we lock it deep inside yeah yeah yeah Helly, are you listening? Helly R, this prison Helly, are you listening? Helly R, forgive me…
