The Deepest Sighs, The Frankest Shadow (MTV Unplugged Live In Melbourne)

There's a sky full of lights
 And none of them stars
 But each white, silvery flicker's
 A faithful reminder to us
 Of a weight that's in youth
 That makes a dick of us all
 If it happened today
 Then it's probably happened before
 In a crowd unfamiliar
 I just wanna touch a familiar face
 And make friends at the parties I've feared
 The likes of an age
 To be wanted with truth
 And make formidable love
 See light in myself
 That I see inside everyone else I know
 It's not a lacking of spine
 Nor of physical pulse
 It's just a feeling of distance
 Akin to a feeling of loss
 Of love in the youth
 Of my limited life
 That passed in a violent
 And ritual screwing inside
 And the years unfamiliar
 Are made of increasingly digital days
 And I am grieving the loss of myself
 With frightening malaise
 When there's weightless in youth
 And the sum of it's small
 Just stand in the darkness
 And laugh with your heel on its throat
 'Cause not everything means something, honey
 So say the unsayable
 Say the most human of things
 And if everything is temporary
 I will bear the unbearable
 Terrible triteness of being
 Alone in my house
 Frozen in time
 But don't get me wrong now, honey
 I am trying
 There's a warmth in the eyes
 And a clearness of thought
 When the deepest of sighs
 And the frankest of shadows are gone
 We're pushing a stone
 Up a mountainous waste
 And the lines at the store
 Look like lines on a beautiful face
 See, I'm not so assured
 Nor unusually strong
 Or outstandingly brave
 I'm more just fumbling around in the dark
 For the bulk of my day
 When there's weight that's in youth
 And the sum of it's small
 I will stand in the darkness
 And laugh with my heel on its throat
 And not everything means something, honey
 So say the unsayable
 Say the most human of things
 And if everything is temporary
 I will bear the unbearable
 Terrible triteness of being
 Alone in my house
 Frozen away
 But don't get me wrong now, honey
 I'm okay
 Ah, cast me a line
 Ah honey, cast me a line
 Won't you fear me tonight?
 Goddamn, do you fear me tonight?
 Ah, pass me a light
 Ah honey, pass me a light
 Won't you feel me tonight?
 Goddamn do you feel me tonight?
 'Cause not everything means something, honey
 So say the unsayable
 Say the most human of things
 If everything is temporary
 I will bear the unbearable
 Terrible triteness of being
