Gravity
04:01
|
|||

gravity has failed me now
with every move i float around
god damn i can't be bound
i'm too high too come down
the closed doors float around me now
they're out of reach no knock no sound
god damn god damn god damn
what's not lost can't be found
do i try for the sake of failin'
do i forgive for the sake of spite
do i choose just to say maybe
do i complain to know it's alright
do i run away for you to save me
do i stay down to take flight
god damn i don't know lately
the faceless have eyes on me now
a soundless voice commands the ground
god damn i need you now
i call up but the call goes down
the armoured shell has found me now
it's sheathed hell has come unbound
god damn god damn god damn
tell me what the blade has found
do i try for the sake of failin'
do i forgive for the sake of spite
do i choose just to say maybe
do i complain to know it's alright
do i run away for you to save me
do i stay down to take flight
god damn i don't know lately
do i try for the sake of failin'
do i forgive for the sake of spite
do i choose just to say maybe
do i complain to know it's alright
do i run away for you to save me
do i stay down to take flight
god damn i don't know lately

Evermore
03:30
|
|||
|
moments fly out to the night
the bonds are strong but never tight
hold me and my heart feels right
just let my mind be fair
moonlight cast it all away
a clouded head but brighter day
i struggle for the words to say
i'm not strong enough to care
and i'm waiting for
for my evermore
forever more to wait for
with the pages tore
life becomes a chore
with all the weight of
tomorrow and before
light reflected to the walls
a lovers face or hidden halls
reflected there is all and all
just let me be aware
in hope there have been many calls
for deeper sight or final falls
so lightly there's a crack in all
just let me be aware
and i'm waiting for
for my evermore
forever more to wait for
with the pages tore
life becomes a chore
with all the weight of
tomorrow and before

Bottle
02:45
|
|||
|
at the bottom of a bottle
there's a fire
and the shadows that follow
how do i walk
the mind becomes hollow
the heart lighter
heavy on the throttle
how do i stop
don't hang around
i don't need your luck
don't drag me down
demons lift me up
round the turn of a corner
there's a fighter
creeping along the walls
how do i talk
the soul becomes small
the body tired
each way that i wander
leads to the top
don't hang around
i don't need your luck
don't drag me down
demons lift me up

Penny Blessings
02:56
|
|||
|
the sky may fall
the tears in all
the waves may crash
the sirens call
up against another wall
old stones that guide the way
the path grows over
illusion leads astray
foisted fear of fairies
makes our reason rot away
i could be cryin' but not today
strength to carry on
before i'm all in how do i pray
possessed in a rush
pay to get in touch
penny blessings pull up a crutch
if it's real it costs too much
and even rarer every day
pull out the weeds and
toss the past away
it must be a witch who
can fight death and decay
i could be cryin' but not today
strength to carry on
before i'm all in how do i pray

from a wire on the road
to the lights in the sky
must every song be a lullaby
once i was free i was afraid to die
with no song for a sweet goodbye
worship of the struggle
between the heart and the mind
one side of the coin on the dead man's eyes
sometimes thinking cruel let you know to be kind
but the wind has no rhyme
you can fight for a country but
not to save your sons
feign to remember the forgotten ones
on that silent morning there's a crack of a gun
lest you hear the devil laugh that he's won

Hijacked
02:56
|
|||
|
humanity is hijacked
the coercion is a plague
for fear is contagious
and for fear we are paid
don't yell out at the driver
just make a get away
for fare he'll be vicious
and for fare we are grave
one and ten million times before
one and ten million more and more
our whole history outside the door
moving a speed that's set inside
windows now are shaded
while a screen is on all day
for glare is efficacious
and by glare we are saved
finally if you're blinded
dumb alone and afraid
for freedoms cost is everything
but things that can't be paid
one and ten million times before
one and ten million more and more
our whole history outside the door
moving a speed that's set inside

Darling
02:54
|
|||
|
darling deep down in your eyes
i can see you're in disguise and
oh my god you're an angel
falling again
no not never will you realize
the greatest truths are always lies
and oh my god you're and angel
falling again
and there'll be peace if we try
all that we need is to
find some more time
after we die
so come cold comfort take me by the hand
until then you've my command
and oh my god you're and angel
falling again

Fear
04:37
|
|||
|
do you fear that you're nobody
just an everyman in the background
lost in smoke
always nearly somebody
till and ill hand when the bet's down
makes you choke
the blind stand by the river
from the other side's a cry
we're watching you
shores get thinner
and they think they've gone insane
the waves called them by name
for fear is nothing all the same
take my sight or take my name
for fear is nothing all the same
for fear is nothing all the same
minds connected dot by dot
savouring a snake oil drop
the monkeys keep each other tame
crawling at the bottom or near the top
only some may see the rot will rot
take my sight or take my name
the blind stand by the river
from the other side's a cry
we're watching you
shores get thinner
and they think they've gone insane
the waves called them by name
for fear is nothing all the same
take my sight or take my name
for fear is nothing all the same
for fear is nothing all the same

River Bend
03:30
|
|||
|
when i was younger i was told
the river bends are full of gold
the current's fast and the water's cold
but it will work out if you hold
on and on and on it flows
on my skin the waves unfold
they're rushing by the time was sold
for the best and so it goes
there it's all over in the end
round the bend
there is countless pieces
never whole again
don't go easy and float along
whispers of love in the beyond
as before the longest song
the waves ablaze the brightest dawn
break to the shore you must be strong
you can't hold forever forever's too long
there is a place where souls belong
above the beat of the siren's bond
there it's all over in the end
round the bend
there is countless pieces
never whole again

Waves
04:21
|
|||
|
wake up my boys and heed the waves
i'm sick of all this sleepin'
for too many years we've rocked and rolled
and kept the wisest waitin'
we'll conquer our fears
shed our last tears
if at last we do awaken
for now we may drown
but before we go down
pray our lives aren't mistaken
waves of the sea
will i bruise will i bleed
when they all come crashing down
old fertile ground
all the loves that i've found
are haunting me
take all of my pictures
put them deep underground
and don't speak of memories of me
they're best found without a sound
if i could be free
oh the man i would be
but the storm keeps coming round
through hardship is found
the roots and the crown
the ocean and the key
wake up my boys and heed the waves
i'm sick of all this sleepin'
for too many years we've rocked and rolled
and kept t he wisest waitin'
we'll conquer our fears
shed our last tears
if at last we do awaken
for now we may drown
but before we go down
pray our lives aren't mistaken

Barren
03:19
|
|||
|
from barren to near savage lands
i've seen how life is grown
just build a wall that's just as tall
as all you'll call your own
i've felt it with my fingers
how a family should be sown
wood and steel fall with love
and all the wild is overthrown
don't worry boy you're lucky
you'll never be alone
that little one's a part of you
and you're part of her home
how is it that i dreamed of you
the night before we met
some star align a touching sign
of forthcoming regret
every meeting is preceded
this some ghostly self intent
a fleeting kind above the mind
defying rule or bet
don't worry boy you're lucky
you'll never be alone
that little one's a part of you
and you're part of her home

Scars
02:43
|
|||
|
the scars on our blood
keep the heart from flowing in
running from where we've been
reaching out but not within
what do i want
home again
where do i start
what do i want
home again
is it in my hands
i'm reaching into the dark
despite the doubt that
somewhere an answer
is it too much to bare
i'm hangin' onto my cares
all tight until that
sometime thereafter
the scars on our blood
keep the heart from flowing in
running from where we've been
reaching out but not within
what do i want
home again
where do i start
what do i want
home again
through the best and the worst i'm just
tryin' to get over
through the best and the worst i'm just
tryin' to get over
over
