1.My Better Self

My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is it made?
I do not know
But meaning comes and it goes

Each and every portent
Of bitter substance spent
Despite the effort I have planned
You seem to lose what I've meant

If I don't use words
Then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
Symbols suggest they are fit to possess
A purposely function
That cannot be met

Those who created know
Air is in man and blow
Only the value given shows
That meaning comes and goes

My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is it made?
I do not know
But meaning comes and it goes
If I don't use words
Then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to possess
A purposely function
That cannot be met

If I don't use words
Then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to possess
A purposely function
That cannot be met

My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is it made?
I do not know
But meaning comes and goes


2.Petition

I prefer to think of you
As a man of many means
Of powers extreme
Exposed to the extreme
Made you so determined
In a map that changes mind
The only possible excuse
For a pretended to be by

Misinform the life all know
On my banner censor shows
No, oh
Misinform the life all know
On my banner censor shows
No, oh

I can't know the riot is
His motives are mysterious
His anger extreme
Exposed to the extreme
I see your hidden past
Our memories that don't go back
And not to remember why
I'm supposed to lack

Misinform the life all know
On my banner censor shows
No, oh
Misinform the life all know
On my banner censor shows
No, oh

For those who never have
You keep coming back
Take, take, take away
Till the very last
For those who never have
You keep coming back
Take, take, take away
Till the very last

Misinform the life all know
On my banner censor shows
No, oh
Misinform the life all know
On my banner censor shows
No, oh

Misinform the life all know
On my banner censor shows
No, oh
Misinform the life all know
On my banner censor shows
No, oh


3.Robin

Why did you ever leave today?
No you've been miles away
You took chance leaving after stands
You can play me on your circumstances
You set up on a simple life
Meant to be home on be forgot

Now you see that
Oh is not as you seem
You fade, you can't believe

Then i glimpse you as you lied in here
Consciously..near
And i can't be sure if you can hear me
Now you can rest a time indeed
Took a way and rest a ..wings

No you dream, oh perfectly dreams
You love me to believe

Simple shells upon the wrist
If love..that has no hand
So smile you seem within my hand
You got the strength to leave again

Still have the strength but you carry on
And now it's gone

Simple shells upon the wrist
If love..that has no hand
So smile you seem within my hand
You got the strength to leave again

Uhh


4.High Road

Up to this creek they come to meet
Where they done days by the summer heat
The sun is always in their eyes
They hold their glasses like they'd rise
On a clouded fair and gin they dine
They're always losing track of time
All sloppy men grow paradise
They import everything that's nice
Comfort is all what really heard
Beaches are transient, they look
Lover, too many to quote
But better times they never show

By now the dreams have all been dreamt
All of the money has been spent
The crashing surf upon the ground
They know I never hear this sound
Our life of middling at best
Put that pro-touch-up to a rest
Was either choice, they do not know
That better times they never showed

Paradise is all around
But happiness is never found
Paradise is all around
But happiness is never found


5.Dreaming

I've searched high and low
I've looked deep inside
But how can I know

For such a long time
I've hoped for a sign
That one day I'd find
We'd been and found
Either inside or out
I have to take time
You're meaning contained
Your valued displayed
By speaking your name

You revealed yourself in a dream
Then you told me how to believe

Dreaming, I'm dreaming
I can still believe in
I'm dreaming I can still believe in you

I've searched high and low
I've looked deep inside
But how can I know

For such a long time
I've hoped for a sign
That one day I'd find
We'd been and found
Either inside or out
I have to take time
You're meaning contained
Your valued displayed
By speaking your name

You revealed yourself in a dream
Then you told me how to believe

Dreaming, I'm dreaming
I can still believe in
I'm dreaming I can still believe in you

Dreaming, I'm dreaming
I can still believe in
I'm dreaming I can still believe in you

I'm dreaming, I am dreaming
I can still believe in
I'm dreaming I can still believe in you

Dreaming, I am dreaming
I can still believe in
I'm dreaming I can still believe in you


6.Take Me To Heaven

There's nothing left for me
There's nothing there for me
So far as I can see
There's nothing left for me

As a child I was told
We all possess a soul
And one day when I'm old
I re-shot, been more bold

Oh, my mistakes, imperfections, they make me
Long for a place where they can't overtake me

There's nothing there for me
There's nothing there for me
So far as I can see
There's nothing there for me

But if you're only passing through
Then please don't forget when you do
But if you're only passing through
Then take me to heaven with you

I'd never believe in what I can't see
Oh, if all you say is true
Then take me to heaven with you

When I pass away
This will fade away
What promises I make
I know I may not stay

When I pass away
All this will fade
My promise I made
I know I may not stay

There's nothing there for me
There's nothing there for me
So far as I can see
There's nothing there for me

But if you're only passing through
Then please don't forget when you do
But if you're only passing through
Then please don't forget when you do
If you're only passing through
Then take me to heaven with you
If you're only passing through
Then take me to heaven with you

I'd never believe in what I can't see
Oh, if all you say is true
Then take me to heaven with you


7.Never To Part

Little virgin, clean and bright
Milk white skin moved in from night
Unblemished are your private parts
Desire can't oppress your light
Queue 'round movements that you make
Will not make men hesitate
Lest your chimes are all revealed
Then your barrow you may wheel

Do not furrow that perfect brow
Chaste lips never to part 'til now

Do not furrow that perfect brow
Chaste lips never to part 'til now

Child, all of this we have done for you
Child, we are only thinking of you

Little virgin, sweetly made
Knows not of the plans we've laid
Got the fragile flickering light
To extinguish as we write
Free from every wicked thing
You receive a diamond ring
Prepubescent wedding day
There upon you lay your head

Do not furrow that perfect brow
Chaste lips never to part 'til now

Do not furrow that perfect brow
Chaste lips never to part 'til now


8.It All Feels The Same

Took a train to
Took a train to get to you

Finally got there
And I couldn't find you anywhere

We could be good but we don't live the way that we should
Constantly told we're imperfect and cannot be good

Took a train to
Took a train to get to you

Finally got there
And I couldn't find you anywhere

We could be good but we don't live the way that we should
Constantly told we're imperfect and cannot be good
Tired of waiting around for you to intervene
Tired of wishing that you even knew what I mean

When I say your name
I look for a change
But everywhere I go
It all feels the same

When I say your name
I look for a change
But everywhere I go
It all feels the same

When I say your name
I look for a change
But everywhere I go
It all feels the same

When I say your name
I look for a change
But everywhere I go
It all feels the same

We could be good but we don't live the way that we should
Constantly told we're imperfect and cannot be good
Tired of waiting around for you to intervene
Tired of wishing that you even knew what I mean


9.Origins

Sensitive heart, you're doomed from the start
Meant to play the penitent part
Inquisitive mind, you're destined to find
Tempted fate and knowledge divine
View in there a pitied pair
Denoted by a scene unfair
Will you make my children bear
The consequences everywhere?

Chorus:
Is it so hard to forgive the way
That we've been made to live?
how much is required to set things right?
Have you confused your power with mine?

Oh whoa oh

View in there a pitied pair
Denoted by a scene unfair
Will you make my children bear
The consequences everywhere?
Imminent you seem to be
a picture of fragility
What is it that you think of me?
Is it a woman that you see?

2 x Chorus:

Is it so hard to forgive the way
That we've been made to live?
how much is required to set things right?
Have you confused your power with mine?

Oh whoa oh
Oh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh


10.Traveling

Now, leave your hand in mine.
The heat strikes me as divine.
Seated here by my side,
the day blurs into the night.

How is it you seem to know what I tried not to show?

This must be rare,
'cause nothing else could compare,
not that I'm aware of.

This must be rare,
'cause nothing else could compare,
not that I'm aware of.

Seems like we've travelled for days,
though we vanish away.

Tell me where you need to go.
Darling, can we take it slow?
Let's not stop.
Please, let's go.
Say you're mine.
Say it slow,
to be sure we know.

Across the Saccharine Plain,
cracked and devoid of rain.
I think of life without pain,
to hide my hope from his scissors' strain.

How is it you seem to know what I tried not to show?

This must be rare,
'cause nothing else could compare,
not that I'm aware of.

This must be rare,

Please, let's go.
