Chair
04:35
|

Before we say goodnight and that to an afterlife,
You walk up and down a road;
Concede to each little dream and consequence,
But I can’t dream it on my own.
Disguise each softer line as a compromise,
And turn every colour into gold;
As the hands of my youth will never hold again,
And we’ll bleed into the sun.
I believe in each energy and every set of eyes,
To a fool and his right hand man, it’s never dark upon the road.
When all that I know is a thin and winding road,
The path to you is long;
When all that I see is a dim and empty screen,
I could never say enough.
I have not only seen every face I’ve felt them all in one,
And I can dream there’s still a seat for me on the chair inside your soul;
To a fool and his right hand man.. the two will never know,
“I refuse to believe you’re the air I breathe,”
She wrote it in her palm.

Lovebird
06:07
|

Return little bird,
Lay your head upon my cheek,
I can hear you, I can feel you,
Your skin is touching ash.
Are you the first to break down the door?
You won't be the last inside these walls,
“Dear lover,” she wrote in her palm,
“I want it real, it's hard to explain.”
She wanted her diamonds encrusted with gold,
And all of her memories carved into stone.
I've been here before and I'll be here again,
I'm not your lovebird, you're my best friend.
Oh and the last time was fall,
Held a hand - took some more,
Walked down a line where crows come to feast
Where women in sundresses leisurely read.
And if this the last, the last time at all,
I wouldn't trade a rock for a star,
And I swear by Christ, I can't be this cruel,
I want to be naked, I want to be yours.
And then pirouettes have replaced every star,
Dance through a daydream, and bleed through the sun.
I have been here before, it's the place that I fear,
When I said I loved you, I meant it dear.
As years ripped at his skin,
He thought of it and swung on a swing,
Recalling each answer he innocently claimed,
On the leaves left a place..
So ingrained in his mind,
The sunshine was there and it will stay in that time,
In spending each moment he conveniently placed
Each old fear tore deeper than he once could retain.
He drowned in a bathtub he had made.
Changes he never maintained,
Leaks he never quite fixed,
All get lost in an ego and useless bullshit
It created a new man, in his same rags,
Adopted some habits he couldn't grasp.

Eyes Tell Another Story
04:55
|

Why do you say you love me?
When your eyes tell another story
Traces of smiles, and sketches to show
That if you ever stared
Then maybe you'd know
The trouble that I've yet to start
It isn't her heart that's keeping me there
It's all the things I couldn't bare
No, it isn't her heart that's saying a prayer,
It's all of the things I changed from the start.
Why do you say you love me?
When your eyes tell another story
Traces of smiles, in sketches of you.
And if you ever cared
Then maybe you'd know
The person that you are.
It isn't your heart that's keeping me there
It's all the things that couldn't change
It isn't your heart that's saying a prayer,
It's one inside many,
It's one inside many.

Pull the picture, hide the screen
Room in the corner, voice in the street
Oh and it's a perfect night to fall apart,
Oh and it's a perfect life to fall apart.
Hide the picture on my wall
Hello birds, goodbye grass
'Cause it's a perfect night to find your love,
Oh and it's a perfect life to find your love.

Parody of You
02:48
|
|||
You see your shadow you realize
You’ve seen her in a crowd of clowns and fools,
Lips are ironclad,
Most of us can’t see past the view
Or the real eyes at the grand unveiling of you,
They painted over your spouse
And he glides on by the assembly line, it’s cruel
To the joke he played
And every child once learnt this from you.
He thinks back, “If I could dream it at all,
Dream it at all, dream it all,
If I could dream it all, dream it at all,
Dream it at all…
I’d dream of me’s and you’s
There's a photograph and no aftermath,
Just blue.
I’d dream of me’s and you’s
There's a photograph and no aftermath,
Just blue.
Me and you.”

Iris
03:53
|

Ears pressed to a window or just miles above,
“Tears are for the young,” She softly stated in a Russian tongue,
When I was 17, my father took out all my clothes
And he threw them on our yard
Life hasn’t changed much,
But then again I’m only 21
I’m only 21.
Oh life of mine,
You sure take your sweet time.
You sure take a long time.
In these boots all stay
Until the day that I die,
Until the day that I die.
Eyes glance back into mine just past the dirt pile,
Don’t fear the hand that longs to look past and see miles beyond,
When I was 29, I tried to leave it all behind,
Days came and stumbled on past my blindside,
I’ve tried to leave it all behind
Oh life of mine,
You sure take your sweet time.
You sure take a long time.
In this skin I’ll wait
Until the day that I die,
Until the day that I die.

Golden
05:34
|

All that we know is a thin and empty road,
The rain fell yesterday,
Fallen leaves will drench our feet
I see you standing there, you want to disappear
When a man comes walking in,
The things you did were gold.
And he walks in with his eyes blood shot red.
Time shall escape you then and clench its mighty grip.
When the whispers of a woman in your bed
Seize to freeze your breathe you're already there.
I put my dreams to bed
I tuck them in
Whispers white and clear
Once a darker road begins to clear
I picture you
And your blood shot eyes
Reflect off the road
I dream and dream again
It makes you near
Your mind is gone but your body's here.
I'll spit your name in the dirt,
I'll tear the picture of you,
It's all I could do
All I could do.
I'll fake the light of my life,
Run before it gets tough,
It's more for my pride
More for my pride.

Good To Me
02:42
|

She promotes her thinly woven and finely spoken lines
To an ear that hasn't heard a tone of this,
Each lie maintains the picture he painted in his mind
Oh and its good to me
Oh and its good to me.
I just found a picture with no colours only lines,
Each stroke feels just like autumn and each feeling feels like dying,
Each thought contains a girl I made up in my mind
Oh and she's good to me
Oh and she's good to me.
Real life's weight digs a little deeper
And birds just pass on by
Oh and they're good to me
Oh and they're good to me.
And we never fell apart
If we never came to be
Oh and its good to me
Oh and its good to me.

Between Us
06:51
|
|||
I must have just missed you in the most passing tense
In between the hollow outlook on the day that is tomorrow
I'll think it tomorrow
Tomorrow
I'll think it tomorrow
So I'll send my fingers and they'll write a lot
Write me a story you stole off the glance of another
By the touch of an eye
Real hands felt by a seeker
I'll let go of the hex they placed on my head and move on
In a blue world
I thought
I thought
That between us
There is a light, it kills when it shines
Darling be the sun
Or be the one in a while
Old love, when you look at me
It's all you'd see in a shot glass
And lover can you be my guide?
Because I go blind at each permanent divide
Once more be the sign
It's not the brown or green your eyes
It's between us
It's between us
There's a light and it kills when it shines
When it dies
I can hear your voice, it's the first time
