THE SAD FACTS
.
Wishing I was fair to you
and all you do
But keeping me alive is what
I'm hoping for
Never even seen you stare
a little hurt
Celebrating empathy
it comes and goes
I should've noticed you are not afraid of blood
Should've noticed you are not afraid of blood
Should've noticed you are not afraid of blood
Should've noticed you're not
As I am on the first step
of looking up the sad facts
You've been leaving bodies everywhere you go
Mission is accomplished
Convoluted, lovesick
I can see the bodies now
When I was there
I wasn't toiling for the others
(Keep 'em apart)
Functioning hearts
Shouldn't be filled with all the others
I should've noticed you can be a little much
Should've noticed you can be a little much
Should've noticed you can be a little much
Should've heard your sighs, the cracking of the earth
As I am on the first step
of looking up the sad facts
You've been leaving bodies everywhere you go
Mission is accomplished
Convoluted, lovesick
I can see the bodies now
When the sun is up
When the sun is up
When the sun is up
I will bury them all
.
WAITRESS
.
When I was younger
Breaking the law
With my alarm bells
Keeping me dull
If I believed you
I'd be on my way
Watching the fire
Dust in the air
Oh, I was off
I was here
with you
Watching the fire
Breaking the law
With my alarm bells
Keeping me dull
.
SWELL
.
Well, I want my voice again
It might pull me out
of a nationwide abyss
Make it overground
When it comes, it goes off
Summer's almost out
Get me off this water
Have you seen me now?
There's no alarms today
No other stops
No false alarms
What did you say?
This is what I've got for you
Don't you know by now
Tell me who you're listening to
Could I hold some ground?
Well, it's for you
It is for you
And I want my voice again
Coming from your face
There's no alarms today
No other stops
No false alarms
What did you say?
.
BIG FISH
.
I heard you've never been sober
And the haze is only the start
Fish dip brought in a basket
A position I cannot watch
Once you take what you like,
Raise your shoulders and shut your eyes
I will stand close enough,
Making sure that the flame is not alive
So you recognize
It's a lullaby
Won't it shut you up?
I heard you've never been certain
Of the days spent breaking the law
You keep 'em all in a basket
A decision I cannot watch
Once you take what you like,
Raise your shoulders and shut your eyes
I will stand close enough,
Making sure that the flame is not alive
So you recognize
It's a lullaby
Won't it shut you up?
If it moves out
On it's on
I should not delay
If it comes down
To staying strong
Or rushing for the brakes
Well, the decision's come
Up into the river
Down into the river's arms
Cause I can go on
Yes I can go on
--------------------------------
.
ASTRAY
.
If there's a place in your head
Where you can go be jaded
Then you should go and turn off
A body overrated
Would believe in all the answers
If all had gone your way?
When you believed in all the aswers
I should've known you then
I notice in my heart
That you can lead astray
I keep it in my heart
It's just another phase
It keeps me up in arms
There's something else in place
It's just one little spark
That we can never trace
If there's a sun in the sky
And then a moon late at night
Then we can know the order
Has been sustained throughout time
Would believe in all the answers
If all had gone your way?
When you believed in all the aswers
I should've known you then
I notice in my heart
That you can lead astray
I keep it in my heart
It's just another phase
It keeps me up in arms
There's something else in place
It's just one little spark
That we can never trace
That we can never trace
That we can never trace
Keep it in my heart
It's just one little spark

BETTER DAYS
.
Once you let in the troubles from your past
Once again
Take your time and decide which ones were worth
All the fights
That is all that I ask
Summer knows you the best
So once you learn every color coded word
That I wrote
Move your heart sing it, burn it in you mind
Once again
And now that you want me
I waste my love
And now that you know me
I waste my love
Let me tell you, I've seen better days
(we could make it work
Better turn me up)
That is all that I ask
Some believe it's a test
That is all that I ask
Summer knows you the best
And now that you want me
I waste my love
And now that you know me
I waste my love
And no more falling back
Let me tell I've seen better days
Better days
Better days
.
FACE TO FACE
.
Wendy, you're stuck in my game, I know
Wouldn't be here without pain, for sure
50 years on, no one will know
The delicate, humdrum ways of this love
If you can keep up someday
Finally face to face
It's something I'll learn to take
If you can keep up someday
There's still an ocean between us, love
Everything hurts when it's not enough
If you rely on the coldest nights
Look in my head for what's not in sight
Wendy, you're hurt that I came back home
Wouldn't be here without pain, I know
If you can keep up someday
Finally face to face
It's something I'll learn to take
If you can keep up someday
There's still an ocean between us, love
Everything hurts when it's not enough
If you rely on the coldest nights
Look in my head for what's not in sight
.
INVICTO
.
When our houses
Fall apart
In time
I wil stay here
In my place
No trials
Cause I'm alright
Yes I'm alright
And I'm just fine
Yes I'm just fine
When our soldiers
Fall behind
Torn up
I will go on
And recruit
My sons
Cause I'm alright
Yes I'm alright
And I'm just fine
Yes I'm just fine
And if we don't stand a chance
It will be over then
Watching the other boys
We are not able to
To be so sure
Of our paths
To be so lost
In our treks
Cause I'm alright
Yes I'm alright
And I'm just fine
Yes I'm just fine
.
SAFE ROCK
.
I've heard of a song without a name
It stays the same
And everyone learns the melodies
It's just the name
We need
Summer, summer
Bring the ghost to me
It's what I want
In its silence
It will let me hear
It's just so fun
Pace yourself to the beat of the drums
I am hoping for something else
Move your hands, tell me what I should learn
This is nothing like I expected
I've heard of a chorus melody
That's in the air
I need you take it off the list
It's only fair to me
Summer, summer
Bring the ghost again
It's what I want
In its silence
It will let me hear
It's just so fun
Pace yourself to the beat of the drums
I am hoping for something else
Move your hands, tell me what I should learn
This is nothing like I expected
And everything you say will turn me on
There's nothing like falling for a ghost in summer clothes
Won't you come to me?
To the safest rock
I will show you its place
.
IN THE MIDDLE
.
Hey brother
You're coming along okay
You sold the things that you owned
And now you're asking me
Well, bust me up
Hold on, man
You got on my nerves today
You said you'd better your life
But that's still on the list
It's underlined
And no one really knows... why
Oh, brother
I've seen you before the storm
You've made a lot of mistakes
But this one takes the cake
It's understood
And even in this sun
You sold your name
The neighbors saw
A man who didn't know his way
But this what I expect
From someone talking like that
You're really coming along okay
You're fucking up
And even in this sun
You sold your name
The neighbors saw
A man who didn't know his way
Well, get up
And fall down
You stand up in the middle
And there goes your crown
Well, get up
On my face
There's just more in the middle
Then what you would think
Well, get up
And fall down
I stand back in the middle
I'm holding your crown
Well, get up
On my face
There's just more in the middle
Then what you would think
===============
.
SLOW MOVES
.
If you want your body disappeared
Then you'll know which voices not to hear
What decisions you should never make
With that broken leg of yours, again
They had a hole in the back
And the cities above
If you can just stop moving
For long enough
You will find yourself in
Some home attack
We'll find somebody else
(don't waste your life
Slow moves take time)
You don't need to have a lot to say
You don't need to stand up for your name
Someone searches, someone takes a step
And you're the first to go
They had a hole in the back
And the cities above
If you can just stop moving
For long enough
You will find yourself in
Some home attack
We'll find somebody else
They had a hole in the back
And the cities above
If you can just stop moving
For long enough
You will find yourself in
Some home attack
We'll find somebody else
(don't waste your life
Slow moves take time)
It's starting to weigh
On me
.
UNTIL
.
There's a place I never go
Where they keep you from the cold
And they call you by the name
It creeps me out
It's a house lit in the dark
It is open when you are
And they told me I should try
But keep me out
There's just more leverage that way
In my head
It's so much better that way
In my head
But in my heart
I started trying
And when it comes
I can't deny it
I started trying
There's a saying that was told
To some kids I used to know
It goes "nothing ventured
Nothing gained"
So in my heart
I started trying
And when it comes
I can't deny it
There's just more leverage that way
In my head
It's so much better that way
In my head

VEGAS
.
A wonderful morning light
Couldn't help myself
It's off again
So maybe I'll take a ride
To the desert folds
Or just relent
As everything turns to rust
Amend
I'm hoping I'll see enough
By then
So I'll call off
Yes I'll call off
I'm moving my head
I'm turning my neck
To see
The fuck ups underground
They shouldn't be there
They shouldn't be scared
Of this
A world of things to come
It's enough
A wonderful morning light
Is inviting me
To come again
I'll make it up to you, man
I will push myself
Into your hands
As everything turns to rust
Amend
I'm hoping I'll see enough
By then
So I'll call off
Yes I'll call off
I'm moving my head
I'm turning my neck
To see
The fuck ups underground
They shouldn't be there
They shouldn't be scared
Of this
A world of things to come
It's enough
If I could just stay awake
And believe in everyone
