A Bit Like This
05:32
|
|||
Flashing lights like rain for us to see
Another hey man where's your ride today
Goes a bit like this, summer kiss
Everybody seems to have their way
Another way to say hello or goodbye, nothing more to say
Nothing more
Made your slave today
Weighed down
Falling out of line once more we sang
hymns with meanings we can’t share today, words that can’t describe, raise your fists
Crooked smiles that lead across the hall
Pockets deep and bellies wide, something I won’t deny
Said like this
Another dance with myself today
Nothing more I have to say, it is just the truth
Painted In rose hues
Weighed down
A system to disguise there’s no meaning we can’t hide
Pull teeth
A feeling to describe that goes something like this
Pale faces flash by
All in line
For the best show
In town
Pushing roses
In one straight line
Is this all we have
To see

T.G.R.

Awoken to a soft ring
An inviting passage
Swore to never leave her
Taillights in passing
Words that have no meaning
But you, leave it to me
To mend this silent passage
A gift between you and me
Tastefully surveying you
My face turns blue singing these dead end blues
Patiently obeying you
For now
Now you’re simply chasing
An expiring passion
Writing off the hours
Callously abstaining
Words that have no meaning
But you, seem to believe
By carefully refraining
You’re Cautiously inflating truth
Just give in, to the voice within
I have nothing to forget
A hand that guides me to the end
Temptations lead to other friends
Caught off guard without my head
Softly turn my head away
Just give in, to the voice within
Softly turn my head to them
A hand that guides me to the end
Tastefully surveying you
My face turns blue singing these dead end blues
Patiently obeying you
My face turns blue singing these dead end blues
Wastefully engaging you
My face turns blue singing these dead end blues
Carefully enabling you
For now

Oogie-Dew
04:50
|

Wash the walls with your cancers
Scrape the glass of the ground
Sold my soul for a promise
To which I could not reveal
So the cats in the bag
You come crawling back
Passions align
You find me
I take my eyes off the foresight
With the slightest touch of your hand
Faces flash by the bedside
Forces who would not wield
So the cats in the bag
You come crawling back
Passions align
You find me
Call it a bluff
What’s more to reveal
Grabbed by the hands
Of another surprise
What a story to tell
Faces flash in the moonlight
Their sauntering shadows reveal
Friars in search of their own

Not My Circus
05:22

Spit out the words I haven’t chewed
(Wrapped in pork rind)
Pronounce the one profession you know
(Tune in tonight)
Confiding all your time in dues
(Break out your scribe)
Reciting words until you’re blue
Lavishly intemperate
Riding out a storm
Laughably advised
Cuffed jeans and arrows on your shoes
(Bright blue, who knew?)
Tastes low but how am I to view you?
Selling twills for favors
Riding out a storm
Laughably advised
Glass stained mirrors
Their whispers in my ears
Tasteless stares
A wonder to my friends, are you them?
Remind me, Am I them?
Simple favors wrapped in lucid behaviors
Leave me alone
Filling shit up to my eyes now
Lay me in the pen
Riding out a storm
Laughably advised

Sacrilegious High
03:26
|
|||
You got me wishing I was blind
You got me thinking I was high
I watch the crystal diamonds glow
Show me all that I was to know
The hands of vultures and the tears we cry
It wasn’t you but I would like to try
I’m so over the new inning
Place your bets now send me soaring
Words so overrated
Sounds so complicated
Faces morphing into my mind
Shape shifting sacrilegious high
I know you’re coming- still blows my mind
Feels like I loved you all this time
I’m so over the new inning
Place your bets now send me soaring
Words so overrated
Sounds so complicated
The clocks have turned around now another way to say
that the days have turned to weeks for me, but to each is to their own
The nights are getting colder, let’s share that cigarette
And laugh into the night sky
I’m so over the new inning
Place your bets now send me soaring
Words so overrated
Sounds so complicated

Ain't All That
05:48
|

Hey now, it’s just another friend of mine
Patting me on the head, A subtle sight, you see
(Oh we know, oh you know)
Fantasy, seldom is for real
But with enough words we can make it what we please
(What we’ve sown, what we’ve known)
Say, now
Save a seat for two
So, something’s out of line. Where the grass grows green, is someone I can’t see
Sold on other thoughts by now. What is that you please, it’s something I might need
Curse me out, you never seem to lie
When my hands are both tied, you slip into the night
(Oh you know, oh we know)
Patience, is another friend of mine
Crossing off the hours, trading time for time
Say, now
Save a seat for two
So, something’s out of line. Where the grass grows green, is someone I can’t see
Sold on other thoughts by now. What is that you please, it’s something I might need
Say, take a quarter from my hand, what is this to you, it ain’t all that to me
Sing another song or three, teach me what it means, tell me all you please
Face down, observing what we can
Oddly chasing a light
Wasting light for hours and
Writing names that long ago
Crossed my mind, let’s have a go
Gracefully entangled to you
Say, now
Save a seat for two
So, something’s out of line. Where the grass grows green, is someone I can’t see
Sold on other thoughts by now. What is that you please, it’s something I might need
Say, take a quarter from my hand, what is this to you, it ain’t all that to me
Are you me?

Another ticket to an avenue
Always unmarked, colors blacked out
Resting eyes, callas lungs
A swans last song, cut in half
What’s that song I hear
repeating inside my ears
These thoughts of mine, I’ve always had
They seem alright, at least I've tried
Broken arms, shattered legs
A song should be sung
in harmony
What’s that song I hear
repeating inside my ears
I could not lie to you but where I go is where I see the madness
I can’t even try to explain my feelings and tell you how I feel
Where I go is where I see the madness
Where I go is where I see the madness
Where I go is where I see the madness
Words have meanings that I cannot fear
I am sorry but I must see myself, myself out
Shaking baby lets herself be freed from the horror that she won’t see
Swords of mercy pick their highness from
The seeds of gardens that were starved in bloom, we won’t share
Servants clinging to the orphans, the bastard child of a mother Mary
I’ve seen her
In my dreams
Fade away
Resting eyes, callas lungs
A swans last song, cut in half
What’s that song I hear
repeating inside my ears
Nothing seemed so clear
But who am I to care

Czars on Foot?
05:33

Banished from his only home
Can't you see, I've got another reason
Don’t you know
Can't you hear, the chiming of the bells at night
Wouldn’t you know, another night has passed by
Care to know
Why the fight, it’s just a tick past half nine now
I think it’s only fair to
(Wouldn't you know)
I only wish it was true
(Care to say)
I think it’s only fair to assume
A face for the misgiven
(Dare to say)
Mistaken for the living
(Wouldn't you know)
Poisoned for believing
Banished from his only home
Carved in leather and painted skin what’s there to ask
Ideations in silkscreen bottles a maze that we run
For the time, it was another sideshow
But here we are
Now it’s time, to piece it all together slowly
What a way, to signal a beginning
What a time
There we are, two pieces of a broken puzzle
A crack beneath the ceiling
(Nice to know)
A broken heart needs healing
(Bet your fun)
A flood begins to circle down
What’s that you are believing
(Care to say)
A crescent in the night sky?
(What did you say?)
I think you got a screw loose, man
Carved in leather and painted skin what’s there to ask
Ideations in silkscreen bottles a maze that we run
Cordial membranes that feed off our land
Embrace the mindlessness, taste the fragile waste
Blunted arrows and poisoned water wells
Tastes like rejects and normal circumstance
Awoken to the thoughts that we once shared that we had held
But now that we have established where we stand, what’s next?
What’s next?
What’s next?

Oh Well

An hour to deceive me for myself
I can, I have
Tonight, what a night to precede myself
I have, I can
Kicking back
Carless act
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well
Oh
A phase, just a way to remind myself
I have, I can
Touché, another way to convince yourself
I have, I can
Kicking back
Carless act
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well
Who’s that to tell me why?
Mind your manners just don’t ask why
Favors don’t come in threes
Pulling strings on the edge of my seat
A friar, but just by name
Grasping straws like a second belief
Who’s that to tell me why?
Mind your manners just don’t ask why
Favors don’t come in threes
Pulling strings on the edge of my seat
A friar, but just by name
Grasping straws like a second belief
Craving my own self doubt
Aren’t you tired of playing yourself?

Parading Faces
04:56
|

Stay right there
Obey the words they set for you at once
Silence is the new normal, you know?
Take a breath and soon you’ll see what we have left in store, for you
You find the time we’ll pass it by
Danced into the night we wash away
Faster now the Colors they don’t look so bad in shade
Care to stop on by
Patience my dear
Takes some time to make out what you mean
Careful for what you ask, you know?
One step leads to the rest and then who’s left to blame
I'll find the time let’s pass it by
Danced into the night we wash away
Faster now the Colors they don’t look so bad in shade
Care to join us
Parading faces no sensations last
Same old story
Tonight’s a new beginning not the end
Let’s sing a lullaby
In our youth
We paid our dues
Now all I ask is too respect that fact
Plastic walls, and paper dolls
You’ll find me, where were all make believe
Calling back
Faces gone mad
Who’s that in there?
Oh god I’m mad

In Lieu of Roses

Another hour passes ‘til you find me
A broken silence, an alarming violence
A sudden taste you know, never comes but goes, a look inside of your eye
A fondness I’ll resist until you find me
Find me, you know you’ll try to, yeah you think you’ll go far for me
Try me, you know you’ll find me, a place where I’ll go and tighten the hold
Hand down your beauty to me, you know I’ll find it in me, you’ll see
Who’s your mother to be, they’ll be there when I couldn’t be you’ll see
Paid my dues, sat by the bed you claimed
soaked up all I could
Bon voyage
Closer, a taste to revive the sea
For I will not be
Here to see
I don’t mean to be afraid, but what’s out there for me
I don’t seem to be afraid, but nothings on my mind
Soaked in guilt, another new night to tease
What you mean to me
Or Claim to mean
Fortune favors you and me
At least that’s what l dreamed
So it seems
I don’t mean to be afraid, but what’s out there for me
I don’t seem to be afraid, but nothings on my mind
I don’t mean to be afraid, but I can’t seem to cry
I don’t seem to be afraid, but heavens on my mind
A swollen face that’s growing old
The sort of thing that seemed untold
A fragile stare that slowly dies
Find me, you know you’ll try to, yeah you think you’ll go far for me
Try me, you know you’ll find me, a place where I’ll go and tighten the hold
Hand down your beauty to me, you know I’ll find it in me, you’ll see
Careful, it ain’t what it seems, for reasons I can’t explain, you’ll see
Who’s your mother to be, they’ll be there when I couldn’t be you’ll see
Wasteful, is all I can feel, a glimpse of, your hollow disguise tonight
Slowly you’re burning under the sun

One summer eve as the sun was setting
The wind blew soft and cold
A young man lay on a bed of
Fever and tears stood in his eye
Mother I’m surely dying
The other night as I left the meeting
The spirit, he bid me pay
I said not tonight next week only
I will go, and bang to the day
Mother I’m surely dying
Mother dear go and tell my comrades
Not to do what I have done
When my spirit comes down and calls you
Do not reject this honest plea
Mother I’m surely dying
Mother I’m surely dying
