LYRICS
The Apartment
Caffeine Fiend
Thirteen pills of caffeine
forty cups of dark coffee
Four in the morning, been awake since three
days ago just don’t know
Can’t get sleep
Wake up fully dressed
Apartment is still a mess
Suitcase left on the desk
Filled with cash that isn’t mine
Turn on the tv
See a picture there of me
Hear about bank robbery
Says I’ll be doing time
Fourteen-hundred dollars
and a rusty forty-five
Cut my hair
but they’d still recognize
me anyhow gotta get outta here
Went to a rent a car
Got one got as far
as the next town’s open bar
And I had to stay a while
Woke up indisposed
Still wearing my old clothes
But hey who knows
Much less bullets much less cash
Driving late at night
Saw red and blue lights
Won’t give up without a fight
but know when to slow down
Got out had a gun
Knew that I was done
Decided to have some fun
Took three out before they got me down
King's Song
Your heir, is a continuity error
Ingesting parasitic enzymes
The torturer said what are you charging me with
seeing you’ve outlawed all the crimes
Blue-blood mostly blue from food coloring
that’s separated from the other things
The Emporer says he has some clothes
he’s just not wearing them right now
Lab rats get more respect than that
An alcoholic’s mind
Broken on a floor of glass
Bottleneck I guess I pass
Like herbicide to a grass roots movement,
or tequila for the worm,
Like a living, breathing autonomous improvement
A couple, breeding into a swarm
It eats intelligence
It makes a burger out of a hangover
A soda from insomnia
Install withdrawal symptoms
Lunar tumor, parked in consumer isle
Part Jaguar, part living in denial
Rip out some hair to start a fire
behind the bar where previous you’d been hired
Practice cardiac arrest
A battering ram stands for more than I am
A railroad station has a better occupation
Lab rats get more respect than that
An alcoholics mind broken on floor of glass
Jingoistic mystic
Cystic fibrosis, diagnostic
caustic, Rembrandt membrane painting
Dead rat on the side train
Dead rat on the side train
The Apartment
Used to rent an apartment
selling metal scraps just to make the rent
And crawling through the neighbor’s air vent
Returning the library books you lent
Her voice was black and gray
When she coughs it’s night and day
And you sing the Baystreet Blues
on the local news (x4)
I don’t know you
but I think I could though
And I see the full show
And for reasons I know
Well maybe I’ll go home
leave you alone
Baby wouldn’t leave you there
crying there by the telephone
Thank god that you turned that song off
repetition invites migraines
Murderers have worked for less than that
in fact some work without pay
Used to rent an apartment
inside a lion, but kept dying
Why in the hell you listening
to me right now a sinner sinning
And I guess I know the cost
And I know you’re lost
And I guess it’s exhausting when I’m paying your boss
Bongo was an ape that lived in Congo
Lateral thinking great like airshow
Maybe we could go
invade the neighbor’s throne
I guess this lack of comic behavior
Wanna shave the savior
Save the savior
And savior the last words you heard
Used to rent an apartment
selling metal scraps just to make the rent
And crawling through the neighbor’s air vent
returning the library books you lent
Her voice was black and gray
When she coughs it’s night and day
And you sing the Baystreet Blues
on the local news (x4)
Machines Write Better
Maybe soon machines write better than I do
Automated thread of intimate sentences
Then all I’ll be good for
is falling asleep on the floor
Outsourced my emotions
to a company I adore
And yeah
your body’s like a wheel
Before roads were wet
And I can only guess
the rest, and yeah
Your body’s like a wheel,
before roads were wet
only I can feel impressed
Red light shift in the red light district
Open book for those who think
Installing withdrawing symptoms
plug into wall socket see a shrink
It’s chemistry, anatomy, and psychology
An open book for those who looked
never learned how to read
It’s chemistry, anatomy, and psychology
An open book for those who looked
and never learned how to read
Outdated software left dust in your hair
Barely compatible with last night’s sabbatical
And forget this message the best way you know how
let this sense of urgency leave you and girl
And yeah
your body’s like a wheel
Before roads were wet
And I can only guess
the rest, and yeah
Your body’s like a wheel,
before roads were wet
only I can feel impressed
big idea whats the big idea yeah
big idea whats the big idea
Oh well yeah
your body’s like a wheel
Before roads were wet
And I can only guess
the rest, and yeah
Your body’s like a wheel,
before roads were wet
only I can feel impressed
Nightwalking
The moon cuts my hand open and I started to bleed
It don’t mean a thing, cause I know what I need
A tumor the size of a small schoolgirl
ballooning like tubas in a bandwagon
Colder than a dead man’s joke
What do you a call a sinner who still has hope?
Coal mining mole stole starshine from ceilings
feeling underwhelmed by past regressions
Stole his master’s raft
Master and his slave went walking
Mocking the builder and workers balking sadness is
sadness is absent in turkish moonlight
A daytripper
sucking a tube through her dreams
Forget what you’re after
If you know what I mean
If you know what it means
The jury is out and I, I am still in
Chew off your leg
Victim of internal investigation
Might have instigated some
Guess I don’t expect a vacation
About as stimulating,
as sensory deprivation
So boring I’m hallucinating
that I’m overcompensating
And I’m waiting by the gate for you
Old horse can’t run no more
Leave him by the corner store
Blue eyes and bluer blood
Still runs red in the mud
Maiden
Two thousand years from now
the cows will sit here staring
Spite will find a way
The Red Baron
was wearing
a blue coat
Chessmaster, with blaster blaring
Row row row your boat,
into a volcano
Here I was thinking I had let a dragon in
Wander farther, than a matchmakers daughter
Starvation can apply to more than food
Corny droplets from head to toe
Maiden drinking miracle grow
Davy Jones
sells spiced Cologne
Time’s a joke that noone gets
Narcissistic cat-dance of the lonely
Homely, abrasive, braced by shit braces
Case list is this
Cold called all Baltimore
I don’t want my ears no more
Sleeping in your underwear
Painted white to see at night
Alien music, a new sect
A cool kid revolting against the peasants
There is just one flaw in your cha cha cha
A darling dream that you wished you had kept secret
Burning in the ditch along with all your bread money spent
The Lamb
Who made you little lamb
Was it fleas with their trapeze
Not that I give a damn
but was it the knife that diced
I agree halfheartedly
still, I’d like to see
Who made you that coat
is it tight around your throat
Does it itch and shrink
when you wash in the sink
Have you always been that way you are
full of stars and brightness
Or soulless instead with a likeness
Prove to me what way you can
Why when you’re hot you need a fan
Does a cold day in winter
cause your lip to spit and splinter
I agree halfheartedly
still, I’d like to see
I would like to know
who made you that coat
Was it a painter of ice
or a group of wild mice
tails gathered beneath a stone
together a family but each alone
You come to exist some cyst or blister
or something more sinister
so you walk into a washing machine
and you try to get yourself clean
Frog's Legs
Dissect frogs legs in plastic bags
Plant seeds into other people’s brains
Wavy blue criminal
Washed ashore the other side of this drain
Loose tongue and tarry lung
Starry disposition unsung
Spattering of flattering rosaries
Hung in a series
In twin spoken tokens
Broken English
A lackluster domicile
Wrecking homes prone to style
Sign the waiver mayor
Jasper was the last to see
born in a blind family
Talk to her off rocker
Inhibitory gland evaded
The wild man raised without language
most people seem to get
But a mute should have intuitions
if I were to place a bet
Doll, dollop of solipsism
Voodoo that knew you before you
The world might not owe anything
but that don’t mean you can not collect
Better half took Turing test
messed answer card won’t see each other
And suspect with my perception
they’ll be no wedding reception
[chorus]
Hatred doesn’t flow forth like a geyser
more surprisingly like beads of sweat
Little droplets pooling and subdividing
Small urchins jumping off diving boards
Submerged in the earth desire for
A sentimental Pentecostalist
with vicious tint sunglasses
Organ donor windshield wiper typist
crashed her truck beyond the brook
while driving home in quite a hurry
Open casket despicable
Drawn on lawn with tiny sickle
Been eating out of a bongo drum so long
I taste the rhythm
Been eating out of a bongo drum so long
I write this song
Spy (Enemy Combatant)
Spools of the cables in the watchmaker’s eye
Tools on the table say your last goodbye
Reactionary critics are lit up like dashboard lights
as a wicked green light blinks on in the night
The court was adjourned
when it burned to the floor
Documents like constellations
open to interpretation for
I say this as a friend
whose spite you can’t contend
Your cheeks are weak
when you speak you lack oxygen
Enemy combatant
Dressed only in suit of satin
This just in from captain of the ship
Dressed to the nines from toe to tip
(x2)
Hole in your medulla tunnel sinews and gunpowder
Celebratory war snipping cerebral flowers
The cement will dry within an hour
as an early bird special takes you in the shower
(special agent)
Sacrificial lawyer
with an employment rejoinder
Dead animals
follow you around the foyer
I say this as a friend
whose spite you can’t contend
Your cheeks are weak
when you speak you lack oxygen
Enemy combatant
Dressed only in suit of satin
This just in from captain of the ship
Dressed to the nines from toe to tip
Celebrity
Made a picture out of sand
Threw in the river that’s by my land
Now my artistic strand
Is in some clam’s liver
till a seagull delivers
that shell on my skull and I start to shiver
Bought lots of presents I never know what to give her
Costly R and D
Reconstructive facial surgery
Tinsel town fake drowning scene
It takes a certain sensitivity
A kind of endearment as if you were me
Not some kid up there on the movie screen
You’re not like them
You’re one of us
I don’t get what’s the fuss
You’re no teacher, for sure
You reach a little further
I heard that you were a pop star
I tried to grow roses for you
Nothing seems to grow on the moon
Not roses not balloons
So I planted greed it grew ten feet
and now I’m having to concede
Maybe there more to you than your celebrity
Keyed your car with locks of hair
Lived in Alaska till eaten by bears
Didn’t think you could care less
An emotional hit, financial flop
but did you know you could double as a mop
At dinner hope the paparazzi don’t get a shot
You’re not like us
You’re one of them
I don’t get what’s the scam
You’re no teacher, for sure
You reach a little further
I heard that you were an amateur
Trust LP
The Magical Floating Bed
If it feels good, or it’s helpful
Try to picture a better place
but I, don’t, see that working today
Cause you can’t stay in bed
No you can’t stay in bed
and if it’s for the best
Then we wouldn’t leave again
If it heals you, and you want more
Try not to be such a bitter boy
So, I, think how could you fall in love
Cause you can’t stay in bed
No you can’t stay in bed
and if it’s for the best
Then we wouldn’t leave again
We wouldn’t leave again
Emerald Dream Thief
I’m in love,
with a girl
who sometimes leaves this world
cause I can’t find her some days
But I’m sure,
She is pure
she told me so, so I know
cause of the days when she stays
I’m in love with someone who I trust
to tell me what is real, what’s illustrations
I’m in love with someone
who with the tip of their tongue
can turn the balance beams
from right to wrong
I’m in love,
with a girl
who sometimes leaves this world
cause I can’t find her some days
Slapback
When I find the time I will tell you again
please be careful with what you don’t wish for
And it may seem kind of unkind I presume
but it helps me when I just can’t sleep
When you were born
the world stopped spinning for ten minutes
so since then
the timing never seemed right
like a tape that plays too slow to a movie track
your lips going too soon
voice going too fast
And the melody meant to set the mood
won’t quite
When I find the time I will tell you again
please be careful with what you don’t wish for
and it may seem kind of unkind I presume
but it helps me when I just can’t sleep
When you were born
the world stopped spinning for ten minutes
so since then
the timing never seemed right
like a tape that plays too slow to a movie track
your lips going too soon
voice going too fast
And the melody meant to set the mood
won’t quite
Bluebirds & Meteorite
The strangest thing I’ve ever thought
was why am I here if you are not
but now I know it’s true
I know why I am blue
I know why my colour’s all awry
is cause I let you in my life
So strange, so strange
the way that one behaves
When you turn off the light in their brain
When you take off their roof and it starts it starts to rain
Though I have learned to count the days
like a little kid playing marble games
still now I know it’s true
I know why I am blue
I know why my colour’s all awry
is cause I let you in my life
Night light, night light keeps me company
But it won’t quite, be what you need
When you wake from a book of dreams
With the pages torn so you don’t know what it means
There’s a bully who sleeps upstairs
He tells me things I don’t want to hear
but now I know it’s true
I know why I am blue
I know why my colour’s all awry
is cause I let you in my life
Perspective of a Mosquito
When I was four years old
we had a burnt black pellet stove
And one day I found a frail female mosquito
And I don’t know if she knew but I thought
she could do with a little more warmth
So I let her go on top that old black stove
And I watched her dance her life away
If her feet hadn’t melded with the metal
She could’ve flown from the lethal
Instead a silent scream seemed to follow
And I don’t know if she knew but I thought
she was going to be ok
So I let her go down her own road
And I wondered if it lead back to me
Yeah I let her go her own road
And I wondered if it lead back to me
Now I’m not as young
I remember what I’ve done
Cause one day I’ll find another one
And I won’t let it go, I won’t let it go
Doormat (Quiet Version)
If you want someone
you can walk on I know someone
If you want someone
you can treat bad enough
that they love you more and they hate themselves for it
but they don’t know how to quit
If you want someone
you can count on I know someone
If you want someone
you can leave when its rough
and they won’t call you
unless you call them first
cause to them it’s just another lesson learned
Lie lie lie lie lie lie
Don’t bother with goodbye
If you want someone
you can walk on I know someone
If you want someone
you will give you their trust
and they won’t get mad
if you break their heart
because they don’t think that
they deserve one
Only a Microphone
He doesn’t think it’s worth it to fight it now
he doesn’t think oh there’s another way out
Cause it’s always around
So with his eyes still closed
he climbs the ferry that takes her home
cause it doesn’t mean much when a pretty thing goes
just let her go
Yeah it wasn’t a camera that stole his soul
only a microphone
It never goes away this meaninglessness
It never goes away but I wish if it did
cause its all that you miss
so with his eyes still closed
He climbs the ferry that takes her home
it doesn’t mean much when a pretty thing goes
Just let her go
It wasn’t a camera that stole his soul
only a microphone
I wanna believe, I wanna believe
there’s no place that could replace
the time you find inside your mind
and though it means I cannot dream
well I want to dream, I want to dream
cause I still love you though I know
I shouldn’t want to I suppose
Its just what I do, and I’m alone
and will be
Beautiful Dreamer (Interlude)
[Instrumental]
Connectiveness
Hello I’m a liar and a beggar and a thief
oh if you let me in your home
I’ll only learn to cause you grief
Yeah somewhere in your sleepless eyes there’s a world that does reside
And as with time with many other things that will soon subside
And if only the earth was large enough
to fall into itself
pull in the stars, destroy the sun
leave us here combined as one entity
alone in time, was darker once
but now it shines
to guide those, that are to come
in search of things
we’d never done before
we’d never done before
we’d never done before
Hello I’m a loser and an outcast of this world
but if by chance I could steal
the wisdom of your pearls
Well my pain and pleasures are conjoined and I could never find a void
that’s large enough for me to store the fears
I can’t ignore
And if only the earth was large enough
to fall into itself
pull in the stars, destroy the sun
leave us here combined as one entity
alone in time, was darker once
but now it shines
to guide those, that are to come
in search of things
we’d never done before
we’d never done before
we’d never done before
Differentiating Wavelengths
He said so then, lets talk about it, cause I think about it all
more than you can —
She said no Ben, that’s not a good thing, that’s not the only thing
keeping you alive
And, and when I turn my head
a little too quick I see you there
And, and though I’m still awake
I’m terrified and I can’t take
much more of this it hurts my head
why I was, what I was
And then there’s these things I call them wavelengths they help me determine
spaces placed between events
She said I know
but you’re so oh
hard to tell its hard to tell if you are even here at all
And and when I turn my head
a little too quick I see you there
And and though I’m still awake
I’m dreaming of your pretty face
And when I think, I think of you
I’m hoping that you’re thinking of me too
Seasonal Change - The Last Time
I’ll find me a way out of here
I tried before but I don’t know, don’t know
and an exit sign is all I’m looking for
First the pressure to burst my skin
then the wounds filled with gin
and I would pass out from this pain
if not for my adrenaline
I was only trying to preserve
the things that I once knew
Protect you from this hell
but I can’t protect you from myself
You dragged me here how long ago
Why you did I don’t want to know
but I’m happy now that we are all alone
I was only trying to preserve
the things that I once knew
Protect you from this hell
but I can’t protect you from myself
And this is all just consequence of loving someone far too much
And all I do I really only do for you
A White Boat
These words
lift up the whole world
off your shoulders
off your shoulders
This note
turns to a white boat
so you can sail the waves
you can sail the waves
And this line
gives you back the time
you spent with me
spent with me
And this piece
gets rid of gravity
so nothing pushes you down
or around
This verse
knows why you hurt
what you’re worth
and why your tired heart does not work
This chord
the one you can’t afford
takes this air from me
and fills your lungs so you breathe
Final Thoughts
If I could
only trap one second
of my entire life
to live eternally
I know the one
i know the one for me
for me
And If I could
only look at the entire world
just one last time
I know the view
I know the view for me
for me
Oh maybe I create reality
see what I want to see
and what I see is right
No I’ve never been
stuck in someone else’s dream
I want to find you next to me
Awake and find you next to me
Sometimes I feel
like I am not from here
but a distant star
and I get to go
I get to go home
go home
And when I leave
if I could take just one
thing with me
just one memory
I know the one
I know the one for me
for me
Oh maybe I create reality
see what I want to see
and what I see is right
No I’ve never been
stuck in someone else’s dream
I want to find you next to me
awake and find you next to me
You look so beautiful
from your hair down to the floor
I would lay next to you, if my body I could move
And we will sleep, sleep this off
for eternity
We will sleep this off for eternity
We will sleep this off for eternity
We will sleep this all for eternity
We will sleep this off for eternity
Eternity, eternity,
Eternity, eternity,
Eternity, eternity
NOCTURNAL FABLES AND ILLUSIONS
Underwater Waltz
I have heard before of a place beneath the shore
where you can go and live with happy little fish
And if you find this place far beneath the waves
you won’t ever miss the world that still exists
above this rocky land where towers still do stand
and you don’t have to go to the 32nd floor
to get the things you need
A job that makes you breathe
A box you’ve come to know with tiny little things you own
Until your dying day
that emptiness will stay
cause you could never fill the hole left by the life you killed
I’ve been told before that its deep beneath the shore
but you can spend your days with crustaceans who live to play
And in this ivory tower a year goes by an hour
and you won’t want to leave you’d rather be here and free
of cages built from thought until you brain will rot
And desperation’s for the 32nd floor
to get the things you need
A job that makes you breathe
A box you’ve come to know with tiny little things you own
Until you dying day
that emptiness must stay
cause we can never fill the hole left by the life you killed
And when you are born again
and you still feel the same
you feel that
you feel that
pull from the waves
Black Sheep
And if the things you choose come with some delay
and there isn’t any use in trying to find the words to say
well its all its all the same
And if you build something only to break it down
well you might as well not build it least not on solid ground
Its all its all the same
If we’re sheep then the Shepard’s not doing his job
he tells you what to think but you think its all wrong
and the dog’s in the shed the leader’s gone and dead
If the world starts to spin no ones gonna win
And if the waves you drift along begin to change
and the current that’s beneath it starts to rearrange
Its all its all the same
And how come five minutes can turn into a year
but the silence that contains it never disappears
Its all its all the same
If we’re sheep then the Shepard’s not doing his job
he tells you what to think but you think its all wrong
and the dog’s in the shed the leader’s gone and dead
If the world starts to spin no ones gonna win
Forget it
Do you have to pretend I don’t exist?
does it make you happy when I’m not around
am I at the very end of your list
why do you make me feel so put down
maybe now I’ll disappear
Doesn’t make sense I know
but you make me feel better when I’m feeling low
silence isn’t as sweet
but I love every moment whenever we meet
There is nothing I want more than to see you smile
have you ever considered – the fault is all mine
never anything to you and all the while
I know I’ll just disappear
Doesn’t make sense I know
but you make me feel better when I’m feeling low
silence isn’t as sweet
but I love every moment whenever we meet
A Reason Why
Well its alright I don’t mean it
And I guess I’m blind cause I don’t see it
and I just can’t find any reason why
And I’m not used to believing
and there’s no truth in deceiving
someone if you never tell a lie
Guess it might
be kind of nice to do something right
So Uh Oh
Say the things you think you know lo and behold
its the things you buy that can’t be sold
its the words you say and I’m not told
that your nights aren’t long and your days aren’t cold at all
I’ll be quiet and I’ll let it
or I’ll confuse and regret it
There’s no excuse or a reason why
Lose
Even if you do
Even if the things you say I never knew
And I
Guess it might
be kind of nice to do something right
So Uh Oh
Say the things you think you know lo and behold
its the things you buy that can’t be sold
its the words you say and I’m not told
that your nights aren’t long and your days aren’t cold at all
Nostalgia, In Retrospect
If you’re lying, lying down
down beneath the angels with their golden crowns
sunny days, rays of sun
the night is only one
lonely one and only some agree
A river bent into the sky
reflected on those who’ll die
An ancient war between heart and soul
and those who’ve grown have grown too old
Bloody hands you’re overworked
disliked and you hurt
If you could find a way home
if you could have been alone
If you could have been unknown would you
if you would see yourself
If you’re lying, lying down
down beneath the devil with her golden hounds
dark nights and moon rises
Don’t like it, don’t let them
don’t make them to fight then
Broken bones and tired eyes
painful looks and mournful cries
If you could find a way home
if you could be an unknown
If you could have been alone would you
or you would sell yourself
Bloody hands you’re overworked
disliked and you hurt
If you could find a way home
if you could have been alone
If you could be an unknown would you
if you were to see yourself
Down is Through
So tell me now tell me how not to think
that learning to swim is just knowing not to sink
I don’t want to know your name I don’t want to know mine too
but I don’t want to understand how going down is through
Have you ever been so tired that you started looking down
Then you notice there’s something buried deep beneath the ground
you dig you did until you find
that time that time has passed you by
So tell me now tell me how learning to fly
is different than never knowing not to get high
Well you might be on my side well you might be on mine too
but I’d never let you down cause going down is through
My Self-centered World
I am certain now that being down is far more rewarding than ever being up
no, I haven’t been alone for much longer than a week but I don’t believe in love
And the only thing that holds us down is this giant ball of dirt
and the only reason we can see is to count our worth
My self-centered world has walls and they won’t break for anyone or anything at all
my soul I can not control its filled with tiny holes and these holes will never fill
Cause worthlessness stays worthless and that is all I am
worthlessness is worthlessness and that is all I am
I do not understand why light should be so grand I’d rather be in the dark
yes, I have been awake for longer than I’d like to take
And the only the bothers me I cannot say
And the only thing that’s kept me here is bound to go away
My self-centered world has walls and they won’t break for anyone or anything at all
my soul I can not control its filled with tiny holes and these holes will never fill
Cause worthlessness stays worthless and that is all I am
worthlessness is worthlessness and that is all I am
Sleeping While Driving
Time was wasting while my heart was racing like a car with the brake lines cut
and you’re at the wheel, how does it feel to be in control
Tires are slipping, and I’m tired of listening to things that I know are wrong
how much can we take, before we will break, I’d like to know
And if we crash whos going back there again
and don’t pretend to be my friend
I guess I’ll see you later then
And if only it weren’t so lonely
driving your car into the sea
let the currents take you down
I’d help you now but I don’t know how
It was snowing, I was barely going, watching little flakes fall by
asleep at the wheel how does it feel to be
And all that I meant to try and forget I remember clearly now
mistakes that I’ve made, prices I’ve paid along the way
And if we crash whos going back there again
and don’t pretend to be my friend
guess I’ll see you later then
And if only it weren’t so lonely
driving your car into the sea
let the currents take you down
I’d help you now but I don’t know how
Life in a Cave
What if I’m undecided
I hear your voice and then I try it
I find a place, run away, spend my days in isolation
undisturbed, unexcited
no one mentions I’m too quiet
but I know
I hear the echo
In these caves, I’ll stay, until I find a better way
in these caves, I’ll wait, until there is a better way
I’m lost but I don’t mind
cause I can stay here on these islands
now I’m free, as I see, of any responsibility
And somewhere down the line I’m thinking
I could’ve kept that ship from sinking
thats alright, I can sleep at night
In these caves I stay, until I find a better way
In these caves I’ll wait until there is a better way
I, enjoying the sunshine
its been such a long time since civilization
She
way across the shoreline acting like a lifeline
till I said I was fine now she has gone
she has gone away
I never get to lonely
the inhabiants always show me
what to do what to say in fact they never go away
And when thoughts of her run to my brain
I will think of returning there again
and I just lost my place
In these caves I stay, until there is a better way
in these caves I wait, until there is a better way
She has gone
She has gone away
Saline S. Sonata
[Instrumental]
Chloroform For Your Ears
What if for one day
take everything you hate
throw it all away keep what you love
And if in that day
all the things that stay
work together in perfect harmony
And if you want sleep
nothing haunts your dreams
noone makes you noone makes you sad
But if for one day
all the things you hate
do not go away please don’t be mad
And if in that day
all the things that stay
do not work together at all
try to get some sleep
cause nothing haunts your dreams
and noone makes you noone makes you sad
Why can’t we be anything we want to be
Why can’t we see anything we want to see
Why can’t we be everything we want to be
Why can’t we see everything we want to see
And if you want to
travel back in time
and change the things that changed you before
try to get some sleep
cause nothing haunts your dreams
and noone makes you
noone makes you sad
The Last Living Man
I would never leave another word for you to read
unless I thought you would know
I could never write another note for you to find
unless I thought it meant the most
unless I thought it meant the most
Long long gaps in time
the snow is cold so why aren’t I
And far far beyond
where you could belong
and seasons will change
but its always the same
And late late at night
I will confide
in the last man left alive
I would never breathe another breath unless you need
something warm to fill your lungs
I could never bleed another false dreamed memory
unless I thought it meant the most
unless I thought it meant the most
Long long gaps in time
the snow is cold so why aren’t I
And far far beyond
where you could belong
and seasons change
but its always the same
And late late at night
I will confide
in the last man left alive
