Bitter end
01:25
|
|||
|
I had nothing when I was with you
now that you're gone that nothing is still with me but I'm alone
I'm tolerable around people best that I can
I want my days to go on forever which I don't understand
Sometimes I like this emptiness inside
it keeps me longing for a better life
and if I get there maybe who knows then
maybe I'll long for a BITTER END
I'm tolerable around people best that I can
I want my days to go on forever which I don't understand

When stories are told
when stories are told they move or improve or both
when stories get old they change
moving words to free our world
directions come from
directions run fun
right out of the room
when stories get old
they date periods
they become pieces
stationary mantel reminders ( pieces!)
stationary mantel reminders ( pieces!)
that you used to understand everything
before you knew something
that you used to understand everything
before you knew something
stationary mantel reminders ( pieces!)
stationary mantel reminders ( pieces!)
When stories are told

Lemon Elixer

The lemon elixir
acids calm acids and I'm on base
The lemon elixir
acids calm acids and I'm on base
Chasing fading dreams
tripping on the flaws
pouring salt on to get my rock on
leaving ginger trails
moving slightly faster than snails
The lemon elixir
acids calm acids and I'm on base
The lemon elixir
acids calm acids and I'm on base
now it's a dance not a trance so as to stay still
its a dance not a trance so as too stay fill
me with acids and me with a base
leaving only trace amounts of the LEMON LIXER
The lemon elixir
acids calm acids and I'm on base
The lemon elixir
acids calm acids and leave without a trace

Sleeper Cell

I’m not sleeping in
Ill never give in
But what do I do with my waking Hours
killing time in between showers
meals prepared then devoured
I want I want what I don’t have
thats all changed now its all bad
Then good then heard misunderstood
I’m not sleeping in
I’m not sleeping in
Ill never give in
I’ll face this thing its what I am
blank stare smile cringe slim grin Who is
this person I can’t even begin
I want I want what I don’t have
thats all changed now its all bad
Then good then heard misunderstood
I stand by my sitting alone
It’s the only way to protect those that don’t know
How my mind is wired like a clown balloon
Twisted and spinning
till I’m all consumed.
Its a trial but I’m wired and fired up
A far cry from denial that empty cup
Crash course in long term getting unstuck

Weight
02:03
|
|||
|
This weight is falling on my head
moving me around
re inventing sound
and you're not who you think you are
you're different and invincible
and mine tonight well I've imagined all the moonlight
mine tonight a new fantasy redefined reality
It's redefined in the actions that you use
isn't this all about you isn't it just another ruse
that we will get through but now
tonight Oh I've imagined all the moonlight
now tonight the moon the stars and everything
why do I go through all these trials
only to wind up a child
creating new fantasies to set me from
this cage I built
but now tonight I've imagined all the moonlight
now tonight a new fantasy a reified reality oh yeah
now tonight
the moon the stars and everything!

Out on a go!

We couldn’t find you a seat
so I gave. You mine and stood in the back
Getting dressed up once in awhile
Hanging with you thats what I call style
But then you stood up and you bruised your leg
You bruised your leg
You can’t be trusted to keep yourself out of harms way
You stood up and then you bruised your leg bruised your leg we cringed a bit and then smiled at your smarting party
Ooh go!
We broke some rules that night
You wanted
To see what thats like
Get out of your state of mind
The one that keeps you down all the time
The one that won’t let you feel sublime
The one that constricts you
The one that always talks bad about you
The one that won’t let you go!
But then you stood up and you bruised your leg
You bruised your leg
You can’t be trusted to keep yourself out of harms way
You stood up and then you bruised your leg bruised your leg we cringed a bit and then
We smile at your party
We cringed a bit and then you said isn’t It time we
We cringed a bit and then you said isn’t it time we
GO!

Guts
02:52
|

|
Well I must say you were and easy read a few gestures couple of sentences I could tell where you'd been.
But what are you made out of are your guts gory?
you said you'd been through a lot now it's your story
to tell
to tell!
visceral platitudes boring everyone though the head and out of the room
swept away by a thousand brooms
visceral platitudes boring everyone though the head and out of the room
swept away by a thousand brooms...set on stun
Now I see here you are retuning to your old ways
afraid of the day of uncertainty
well certainly you are thoughtful
and even forgiving
but this is the end
and you think it's the beginning
yeah you think it's the beginning!
visceral platitudes boring everyone though the head and out of the room

Timing
03:12
|
|||
|
Bad because you can't remember names
sad because you know that this is not about change
this world is all about it's timing
my uncle told me once and I'm sure that this is clear to me now
dilute your dreams and put them on ice
learn to take your own advice
timing isn't everything it's everything
timing can me everything
timing isn't everything it's everything
you ask yourself how you feel and the hands start to peel
away
state your case are you believable
and is what you're saying believable?
remember what you said was the reason you were leaving on the day that you went away? I think it's gotten worse I'm and I'm sure it's taken over everything
remember what you said was the reason you were leaving on the day that you went away? I think it's gotten worse I'm and I'm sure it's taken over TIMING
dilute your dreams and put them on ice
learn to take your own advice
timing isn't everything it's everything
timing can me everything
timing isn't everything it's everything
you ask yourself how you feel and the hands start to peel
away

State of Grace
02:38
|
|||
|
I waited a week and I saw my skin color change
my hair grew and then it was shaved
politicians did not behave and my eyes grew tired
from staring at the answers right in front of my face
if you find a STATE OF GRACE but you but you have to wait and
you rush headlong and ignore the pace
you know your'e getting nowhere
moving at frustrations gate
you're getting nowhere moving at the pace

Numbers
02:27

Hey all red parting numbers
I've got black and blue lungs
sunsets and color bleed out
form new ones
I see the land below
but I don't want to know anymore about the show for now you're gone
Now you're gone
now you're gone
I stayed up late listening to the bands you said I needed to
but Now you're gone
now you're gone
We won't be discussing why that bass line could have saved your life
hey all red parting NUMBERS I got good and bad news
bad is you can lose your thunder
bad is you can recover
but Now you're gone
now you're gone
I stayed up late listening to the bands you said I needed to
but Now you're gone
now you're gone
We won't be discussing why that bass line could have saved your life

Can't stop talking
02:20
|
|||
|
I’m wrapped up in old nothings
The new ones are leading me there
Flashes of dreaming startles my
Senses I smile out of nowhere
Pat on the back for the caffeine hire Buyer
Teeth are chattering on the endless mile. He’s never tired
Heir to the talker talking rights expired no priors
A clasp of the hands a firm grip stands
as if to say I heard your plans
But I can’t stop grieving
I can not stop talking
A little run amok never curbed anyone
A fire can burn down doors
A spirit drinks like a sweet tooth’s con
I don’t understand how you could be bored
So we’re in this together alone
Somehow disappointing
What was I wanting you moan?
I never try to guess where I am going
Pat on the back for the caffeine hire
Teeth are chattering the endless mile.
Heir to the talker talking rights expired
Pat on the back for the caffeine buyer
Teeth are chattering he's never tired
Heir to the talker talking rights with no priors
A clasp of the hands a firm grip stands
as if to say I heard your plans
But I can’t stop grieving
I can not stop talking

Save me some time
02:05
|

|
Oh no oh no ho no
I thought we knew each other better than that
In fact I thought we were right on track
To a marriage of the minds
And actions of all kinds
But we secretly had other ideas to find
Oh no oh no ho no
In thought we had each others backs
I didn’t want the to be the last laugh
where we Smash all the plans
We could never take a stand
For there was no ground to sink our toes into
Save me some space
In your life
Save me some time
Id never want to change what we had
It meant something then but now it's sad
To clarify our crimes
We will both lose a stitch in time
And I said
Oh no oh no ho no
I thought when we drove out we’d always make it back
Maybe we went to far
Or the odds were always stacked against a
To a marriage of the minds
And actions of all kinds where we
smash all the plans
we could never take a stand for there
was no ground to sink our bones in to
Save me some space
In your life
Save me some time

I carried you with me
02:06
|
|||
|
I carried you with me
I carried you with me
Thought the Dark and through the light
Through the day and through the night
We could play
Or sleep all day
Or just let both our burdens sink
We could dance
Or eat bananas
Or slip into cuddle link
I was gone for so long
For so long
And I was so alone
but I guess I had to be. apparently
but it cut you off from me
I carried you with me
I carried you with me
Through bark and through the bite
Through the stark and through the slight -
We could run or
Skip or jump
Or fall into a happy slump
Make a call and laugh at it all
Or cry for watery faces sakes
I was gone for so long
For so long
And I was so alone
but I guess I had to be. apparently
but it cut you off from me
Now I touch my hands with your feet
And we spent the afternoon leisurely
Barking doggies
Warming filters
Salty fire
Smile
Style
Kind of
Melting
Help me
I was gone for so long
For so long
And I was so alone
but I guess I had to be. apparently
but it cut you off from me

It's all around you

Your ok but no one told you
Had to push through
Had to lose too
Had to leave town too shut down then turn back around
In a circle that keeps changing
Told you have to crush
Have to fuss and worry scram to
scurry your hide along
Get by as best you can
I’ve seen Every day of my whole life
The struggle peril and the pride
I joke if you were me oh my
You’d never get there on time
you have to rush through
Be too much to
be see Through so you
Won’t delay the truth getting to you
I stand my ground
Without a sound
I play in wait
With colored gates
To hop over the lesser traits
Only to find they hold value
I’ve seen
Everyday of my whole life
The struggle peril and the pride
I joke if you were me oh my
You’d never get there on time
You’re ok but no one
Told you have to crush
Have to fuss and worry scram
And scurry your hide along
Get by as best you can
Told you how to break clues
How to make due how to bask and
Sway in the rays that pass over an all around you
