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-

Invitation To Love
02:00
|
|
||
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

Gone For The Backing
01:56
|
|
||
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

As The Moon Rises
01:35
|
|
||
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
|
|
||
i hold my heart
in little jars
so when im sad
the truth is far
so when im sad
i cannot see
the real me
is that the truth
the real me
are there enough
little jars for me

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

In The Company Of Wasps
00:46
|
|
||
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?

Bad Dream Or Something
02:02
|
|
||
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
|
||||
13. |
|
|||
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

The Night He Left
00:54
|
|
||
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

Scratching Post
02:16

|

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

Goodnight Little Alarm
01:37
|
|
||
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
