1.If Death Comes
Hopeful but not optimistic
My mind becomes more dangerous by the second
So I’m hopeful but not optimistic
Lay down what you’re working on
It’s time to sleep
I promise that tomorrow will come
Cause time the clock keeps, it keeps.
I’m traveling faster and if death comes at least
Silence is comforting, finally released
From endless ringing
These are the horses that are calling me
The perfect ending I’m finally released.
I don’t know why we keep singing these songs
I’ve never heard anyone sing along, slowly dying.
Attempting to trick chaos into something beautiful
It’s what I live for, it’s magic.
Deep in this heart something is said.
Someone translate, help me understand, we’re all dying.
I’m screaming while I still can, hope my throat holds up
Under this pressure, so my heart won’t burst, I’m trying.
Try, all the time, all the time.
2.Deadly Wisdom
Someone please help me I can’t see straight
Seems I’ve been drinking too much of late
And have you seen the powers of your gods
Oh please, oh please, don’t share your wisdom.
Summer came again it’s staying forever
It’s tied to my ribcage and it’s going nowhere
I never want to see another winter
It’s still a fact that I never asked to be here.
So what
Did you or anyone, anyway, I don’t know
I get the feeling that anything is possible
If only I could sleep
Discuss then disgust runs through my veins
These conversations take us nowhere
I never want so see another winter
It’s still a fact I never asked to be here.
3.Corner Store
I remember a time when you wouldn't of said
The things you just said
Once again I get what I deserve
And you should never speak another word
In my direction, direction,
Direct me to the nearest corner store
Where I can buy me a little bottle
Give it up don't let her know
Give it up don't let her know
Your eyes will grow cold
Give it up sleep alone
Your eyes will grow cold
There was a world here that's been turned upside down
The old world I can no longer sing about.
4.One Days Evening
We shared everything one days evening
He brought me to you with a voice that sang so clear
Many years ago, how could I have known
That those same years spent never knowing
That love won't allow its own creation
And two separate lives can be lived in unison.
This ink just ran dry
Unexpected goodbye to this here place in time.
But I've moved nowhere
I sing sounds of farewell, I'm leaving you behind
I'm headed down the line
I'm leaving.
I remember the day I stared out at the sky
When both hope and love were realized
I said I feel like anything is possible？
But I didn't understand
All we've been given
By all that's been taken.
Sounds funny but I can see
That the amount are equal
Of good and evil
That just might come from anything that happens,
That just might come from any situation.
When something is out of your hands
You showed up so unexplained
You can die trying
And never receive the gift I've been given in you.
5.Starfish
Tried for the launch but you only sank into the sea
Not a star but just a starfish you'll be
Cold water rising seaweed sings sweet dreams
Take a closer look no telling who you might be.
Guess those who are most alive
Feel closest to death all the time
And they never know me
I guess it's hard to know someone,
I never know myself.
Wake up, go see what you can create
Sleep tight, just pray that you don't break tonight
Leave now for me it's much to late
Broken still every time I wake.
Shrouded in mystery and misery
You'll never see the light of day
And what a beautiful day it is to miss.
I miss you.
All I miss but I'm no asking to bring back.
6.Spanish Quartet
How the god is mixed in
The evil it does blend
In this drink that we all taste.
And when the bottle is gone
I hope I can look upon
All that I've done with a smile
And bright and overflowing eyes,
Reflecting upon all they've seen
With the same glow as the
Child born March 8th 1977.
Please make my arrow shoot straight
I'm tired of all the shots that missed
It's one thing that I won't miss
Betrayal in a kiss.
When I finally hit my target
There were four hands that held the bow
And I realized I am not alone
I am not the only archer
Not alone with crooked arrows
Not alone with these crooked arrows.
7.Cemetaries
Never expected what I got
In a million years never would have thought
That I could have been taught all I've been
You've been, I've been taught
Guess I can't run away from that
In time I'll be tugging holding pulling stretching on
What I created caring bleeding hoping seeing all
All I wanted in you
Hope I make it through
This ride happens all the time
But this time it's mine
I've paid in full to be so blind
This time it's mine.
But somehow if feel this debt
I deserve everything I get
Cause I knew the crime
Of taking shelter in your mind.
So take what we get
Lay here with me
The sideways moonsets into the trees
You're safe with me.
8.Circus Animal
Now I have more of my life
But when I go nuts it's all that I write
Maybe a circus animal, maybe I'm at the zoo
This strange mind in a cage is all that shows through.
Some days are so long
He was a great once, this I promise to you
Most things fall apart
Maybe I was to
Maybe I have to.
Somewhere between twelve and two
Once again there's smoke in my brain
She's been gone for years but in the cloud she to remains
That's all gone now
And we may not get through
The truth may not be real, pain will show you what's true.
9.Keep This Up
Hell lets make it through the next two weeks or so
Just a couple more stitches to sew
And you know I know you know we're all alone
We don't need a genius to know
Born that way and die the same so I'm told
Laying in the grass in California
I keep warm beer and sleeping bags for comfort
Strangely it's embodied by Palace Brothers
When they sing songs about horses
Tomorrow I could be gone
Maybe I'll find reasons to keep this up
In Hyundais with the windows down on the way to work.
As soon as you get your hands on it
It's gone or it doesn't make sense
In the way you need it to anymore
I'm older now but I can still remember
Where I come from
Maybe I'll find reasons to keep this up
In Hyundais with the windows down on the way to work.
