right said on complicated answers so wrong simpler facts are all right up all night ruptured wake burned on the hotter take wake and- bake and-

heard you motor on waited til you were gone held the signage high to every passerby to fill the hole you dug the shovel to my heart the pile sitting there that tore my life apart invitation to love the vessel took off today future's on its way she doesn't know she's here but i hope she's drained of fear heard her motor on couldn't let her fly set her up and gone held her sitting high

wandering around - campus town she found, called me inside up to a room watching OKC (I think) tossed me a can and I'd never in a million years feel so welcome never in a billion years feel so free maybe not but that's not important but it's liberating to know they like me stayed for a few hours that flew right by made my way out at 2 through the snow in my face box of insomnia headed for the towers I had to rush but there wasn't a chase

the suits are at it again with their suitcases full of dead art submitting willing drones trying to play a part with the lies they’re telling and the lives they’re selling the suits are at it again squeaky clean pose top of the fucking world you say yet everybody knows your life will be automated to fix the mess that you created

took out the lifeline today (backing) carried the ship, sailed away (packing) with nothing to gain from here (lacking) hoping he’ll disappear (cracking) radiant illusion on the line personally far removed from fine “I deserve it so I’m going to take what’s mine” and that doesn’t fly that doesn’t fly that doesn’t fly that doesn’t fly

I'll give a name to the sun and the bird songs in it that won't go away I'll give it time to hang on and the moon will arise and it won't take a day I'll hold my arms out for love as the rain soaks them up with silk stains from above I'll run into the scene left side up holding the right hand inside me stand to let my voices be heard and leap over the heads of crowds stand to let them pen my name in every book around I'm not trying to hit it big but a show wouldn't hurt tripping on my knees can't always be guaranteed to work hold my hand as the moon rises you're the only hand I've got left

Jars Of Me 01:04

Magic Square 02:29
where'd you get the light oh you're so high where'd you get the light hold you up so high oh you're so high hold you to the sky the Magic Square seeks to blind the hair spilling over your blue eyes the chip they found under the "one eye" getting high under the heart sign the janitor cleans the day with nothing new to say lets another day go by jaded and lost in the star sign I'll get you out tonight if Marina can be free then what's stopping you they can't make us obey the blue line who's to say we're not fine? and we're having the night of our lives hold you up so high getting high under the star sign jaded and lost in the heart sign where'd you get the light oh you're so high but our future's looking bright

a wondering hive for the executioners sent to bed after chasing the wrong one the wasps don't mind the company for they are one of them are they so sure of that? where do they reach that?

called to the door and let it ring stood and waited for everything faced the wall and waited for the ringing calling to the door stood me up and walked away left me nothing left to say never got to hear her sing like every bad dream or something

loser's stride, opened wide designed to keep the mass from simply gliding away lost to stairs in an open book hated by the shallow, loveless, bishops, rooks pointless and deliberate blinding and harrowing, broad and narrowing dividing the people into little lines it all serves a purpose sometimes

he thought about his family, his blood waiting at home waiting to spend more time with the old man he thought about the evenings in the ataraxic air movie on TV, little book in hand he turned around to face the room to switch off the lights for his last time the boys will hold down the fort for him but it's never going to be the same maybe change is fine maybe change forgives he touched the light switch and smiled long live

head the scratching post head the scratching post north of liver south of weight east of habit west of sane head the scratching post head the scratching post behind the either/or in front of looking for the left of golden door to right of I’m not sure cried the major what seems to be the problem sir desperate for action he launched himself into the desert starting picking fights with the locals in the name of freedom he said they didn’t understand a word but they knew he was wrong

good night soul from sweet virginia good night foot of snow good night prospects of the hanging arm good night little alarm i'll be with you in the morning but you'll have to remind me the little beeping works better than one would hope now if you'll excuse me i'm off to bed and you remembered today

escape this hell escape this hell how’s your place looking tonight? can I lie on the rug and stare into space? is that okay? is that all right? I’ll always be bitter but what’s the point in passing blame it’s no one’s fault that we can’t hang there’s always tomorrow I’ll always wonder but I won’t ask why the space is yours and you let me fly in it sometimes the happier times textbook cling it’s the same thing over and over it’s not a surprise hope through the peephole my night can be saved facing the wall with clouds in my eyes
