Road Trip To Iowa
03:17
|
|
||
|
it seems not dangerous
a road trip to Iowa
it seems not dangerous
when will we leave
driving west for days on end
there must be something to it
unknown dangers lurk ahead
and we can only plow through it
how far are we going
one thousand hundred seventeen miles
sixteen and half hours
and countless piles
of trash in the back

April Lie
02:48
|
|
||
|
held in the gaze you sent me
traveling hours to get nowhere
I’m lost inside
your April eyes
holding it back as I find the light
the ball’s closer but the passage is tight
I’ve realized
your April lie
waiting to the ark to know
where your wandering mind will go
your shoes talk louder than my words
you’re so fast it doesn’t hit you it hurts
you act like no one will notice
eye in the sky you dropped me
wind from the planes they stopped me
you let me die
in the April sky
snow falls into the crack
white sea turns to black
forgive and react
April, why?
wishing for a wing to clutch
even only half as much
your shoes talk louder than my words
you’re so fast it doesn’t hit you it hurts
you act like no one will notice
you talk so loud we don’t notice

High Seas Of Loathing
01:47
|
|
||
|
bound reform
high seas of loathing
rocked the sea
up and boating
found the gold
found the sirens
brought them home
to our little golden islands
cast forth our hooks and report back to captain waiting
folded arms, broken legs, bit off the head
seafoam days passed, living out his last year
wrecked anywhere's fine but maybe not here

Kind Sister Repeater
02:29
|
|
||
|
kind sister blessing
can you take your arm and hit me with this curve
I have a lot to learn from you
blind repeated knowing
can you lift me from proverbial grounds
and teach me words I don't know
reach into your bag
little glowing rocks and sands
beachy keen on nothing much to do
would I be lost without you?
holding my hand and walking me through the world?
kind sister bless
kind sister rest
you owe it
kind sister repeater

Lucid Boy
03:11
|
|
||
|
wake up boy your dreams aren't real
just further reflections on how you feel
take a closer look tonight
and find it in your heart to make it right
the nightmare's never over but you can pause it in your head
if you're lucid
slow down boy it can't be forced
the demons only rise when you're not paying attention
the right time to strike is soon but it can't be planned
only when the night shoots up and the flames be fanned
lucid boy

Hold You In My Dreams
04:02
|
|
||
|
I sit wondering who I am
and what I really want
you stand crying in the corner
trying to not get caught
by the bug they shot
that time forgot
I don't know what to do
let me hold you in my dreams
if you wish to
I can hold you in dreams
if I think so
and we bust out the seams
let me hold you
in a world above the dreams
lady calm and shivering
gentle man small and quivering
we'll freeze overnight
the lock's locked too tight
it won't matter in the end
take my hand, my lovely friend
will time forget about us?
let me hold you
let me hold you in my dreams

End Of Country Living
02:17
|
|
||
|
when will you see
the farm's not getting younger
we can pack up the mounts
or you can sit there and cry
the milk is dried up
the cages are empty
we can head on out
or you can lay here and die
heading out heading out
looking back on the fruits of our labor
shackled and torn
hearts in the wood
backs to the wall
my shoulder's not going anywhere
stop freezing on me
we came for warmth
I'm sorry I lost you
I'm sorry we can't get it back
the end of country living
time to join the grid
time to stop staying hid

Thursday
02:51
|
|
||
|
slowed down morning
couldn't get up
sick and tired
the light before the crush
need a ride up to grab my meds and go
can't find someone to open up my nose
Thursday morning
can't find my friend
in the dining hall
tech support's open
but in another hall
what a bored risk
used repeated rhyme
I'd think harder
but I don't have the time
Thursday afternoon

All Over Again
03:08
|
|
||
|
trouble's locked inside again
bats and knives hanging from a wall
tremors they shake themselves won't cause an earthquake
'cause everybody already knows
and he swings and he breaks all over again
she sits and stares unblinking
they both live like unthinking friends
and they fight in their sleep all over again
the vicious cycle tossed and turned
don't think they will ever learn
hamster wheel of hate and rage
they'll never turn the bloody page

Down To The Wire
02:26
|
|
||
|
the rules ive followed sit broken in front of me
im crying and i have to replace why
what i dont know is what could have been if everything worked out the way it should have
feeling pretty useless
dead and hard
waiting for the world to play a trick card
wheres the warmth i shot for
it doesnt matter anymore now does it
a true love slowly bleeding could die at any minute
what if im killing it more

Violet Angel
03:51
|
|
||
|
hey, your wings are torn
in the trees where the birds were born
we found your halo rusted and burned
somewhere deep inside Willow Turn
angel eyes, suburban surprise
I, nearly speechless
what brings you here
little town of little fear
surely sinning
far from brave
and here you waltz in
to bury your angel grave
hey, what's wrong up there
are the gods in fury
dying your angel hair
"unnatural"
"a sign of the times"
they took out their frustration
on your abnormality
whatever they did to you
you won't get more from me
what was your name again?
I offer you to stay for a while
to get your shit back together
and they'll be ready for your forever
I, speechless
and yet I can't stop thinking about today
what started as a nothing began to crack the sky
fell in a nowhere neighborhood
to sneak away and cry
and we're honored you think we're good for that
the people here just kinda wonder why
the cards they gave us
jokers and twos
please stay forever

on grand display
when do i get to leave
and walk on empty space
where did i go
where did you go

Cold Home Here
07:04
|
|
||
|
step outside, darling, look at the sun
another day up in this house we call home
it's a warm spring day and it's going to stay
sitting on the porch as the children play
in the sky, darling, what do you see?
a black cloud staring at you and me
it's a warm spring day and we'd hoped it would stay
raining on the roads as the cars try not to
sway on around as the youths run in
tripped on a puddle, wet front to end
the tires can't brake as the wheel tries to slow
a situation red by the wind down blown
step inside, darling, please turn aside
the sun beats down but here we hide
it's a cold home here and it's going to stay
sitting on the couch
what's the point
you don't have to stay
look at me, darling, it'll all be okay
all may be lost but that leaves hope for change
it's a warm spring day and it's going to stay
