  • I've used hammers made out of wood
    I have played games with pieces and rules
    I undeciphered tricks at the bar
    But now you're gone, I haven't figured out why
    I've come up with riddles and jokes about war
    I've figured out numbers and what they're for
    I've understood feelings and I've understood words
    But how could you be taken away?
    And wherever you've gone
    And wherever we might go
    It don't seem fair... Today just disappeared
    Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
    We were but stones, your light made us stars
    With heavy breath, awakened regrets
    Back pages and days alone that could have been spent, together...
    But we were miles apart
    Every inch between us becomes light years now
    No time to be void or save up on life
    You got to spend it all...
    And wherever you've gone
    And wherever we might go
    It don't seem fair... You seem to like it here
    Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
    We were but stones, your light made us stars
    And wherever you've gone
    And wherever we might go
    It don't seem fair... Today just disappeared
    Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
    We were but stones, your light made us stars
  • I am fuel, you are friends, we got the means to make amends
  • BLACK - I hope some day you have a beautiful life i know u'll be a star in somebody elses sky in somebody elses sky but why can't it be in mine. I remember breaking up to a girl and listening to the lyrics and crying lol...

    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream
    Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin at me

    Oh, I paid the price...
    Never held you in real life

    I've always thought "born on third, thinks he got a triple" from Bu$hleaguer was a great line.....and very fitting for that situation, as well.

    Also "It's not the world that's heavy, it's the things that you save" from Drifting- I try to remember not to carry the 'heavy' stuff with me all the time- but instead, set it free (set myself free)
    "Forgive every being -the bad feelings, it's just me" from Can't Keep - again, I try to rember to let go of negative energy.


    There's a TON more, but those came to mind at this moment ;)

    I may be wrong but when I hear Save You I think it's about us fans. This thought makes it great live.

    i'm gonna save you fucker, not gonna lose you
    i'm feeling cocky and strong, can't let you go
    too important to me, and too important to us
    we'd be lost without you
    i'm there, let yourself fall, i'm right below you now
    and fuck me if i say something you don't want to hear, from me
    and fuck me if you only hear what you wanna hear, from me, if i care
    but i'm not leaving here
    you helped me when i was down, i'll help when you're down
    why are you hitting yourself? c'mon and hit me instead
    let's pick up your will, it's grown fat and lazy
    it's sympathetic as well, don't go on me now
    and i'm not living this life without you, i'm selfish and clear
    and you're not leaving here without me, i don't wanna be without...
    my best friend
    wake up to see you could have it all
    whoa!
    cuz there is but you, and something within you
    has taken control, let's beat it
    get up, let's go
    oh, you're in your own world, let's see the whole world!
    let's pick up your soul
    and fuck me if i say something you don't wanna hear from me (fuck me)
    and fuck me if you only hear the tremble in your head
    please help me to help you help yourself!
    help me help yourself
    help me, please want me to
    please let me to, help you...
  • Lives opened and trashed..."look ma, watch me crash"...
    No time to question...why'd nothing last...
    Grasp and hold on...we're dyin' fast...
    Soon be over...and i will relent...
    Let the ocean swell, dissolve 'way my past
    Three days, and maybe longer
    Won't even know i've left...
  • Some of my personal favorite couplets:

    I'll never suck Satan's dick. Again you' see it you know right 'round the lips.

    Like egg, rolling thick and heavy, all the past we carry.

    It's funny when things change so much, it's all state of mind.

    Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette. Thinks he'll get the girl, he'll only get the mechanic.

    I will swallow poison until I grow immune. I will scream my lungs out 'til it fills this room.

    We go way back. I wonder about his insides. It's like his thoughts are too big for his size.
    &
    Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit. That has grown.

    I could go on and on...but I guess I'll truncate it there.

    I used to try and kill love... It was the highest sin...

    If I think too much... I can get over... whelmed...

    I study your face... The fear goes away...

  • To me:

    - everything on Light Years, Sleight of Hand, Parting Ways, Oceans, Thumbing my Way and yes, Just Breathe and The End - but I am biased by the last two songs due to personal experiences.
  • Hear the sirens, hear the siren
    Hear the siren, hear the circus all go found
    I hear the sirens more and more in this here town
    Let me catch my breath to breathe then reach across the bend

    Just to know we’re safe, I am a grateful man
    This light is pit, alive and I can see you clear
    I could take your hand, and feel your breath
    For feel that someday this will be over
    I pull you close, so much to lose

    Knowing that, nothing lasts forever
    I didn’t care, before you were here
    A distant laughter, with the everafter
    But, all things change, let this remain

    Hear the sirens covering distance in the night
    The sound, echoing closer, will they come for me, next time?

    For every choice, mistake I made, is not my plan
    To see you in the arms of another man
    And if you choose to stay, I’ll wait, I’ll understand

    Oh, it’s a fragile thing, this life we lead, if I think too much, I can’t
    get over
    When by the graces, by which we live our lives with death over our
    shoulders
    Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, held you high above
    too
    I studied your face, the fear goes away.



    It’s a fragile thing, this life we lead, if I think too much, I can’t get
    over
    When by the graves, by which we live our lives with death over our
    shoulders
    Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, held you high above
    too
    I studied your face, the fear goes away, the fear goes away, the fear goes
    away.

    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

  • Rearviewmirror, Tremor Christ, Satan's Bed, Bugs, Indifference, Inside Job grew on me (see post here somewhere), Force of Nature... Just to mention a few.
  • It's hard to say just one ... But these are some of my favorite songs:

    - Come Back
    - Unthought known
    - I am mine
    - Elderly Woman
    - Got some
    - The Fixer
    - Yellow Ledbetter
    - Animal
    - Nothingman
    - Garden
    - Who you are
    - Smile
    - Off He goes
    - Breakerfall
    - The end
    - Just breathe

    Of everything that's possible
    In the hearts and minds of men
    When progress becomes plausible
    In reverse we curse ourselves
    By thinking we're infallible
    Are we chancing fate instead?

    keep on locking your doors
    keep on building your floors
    keep on just as before

    pay disasters no mind
    didn't get you this time
    no prints left at the crime

    our ship's come in
    and it's sinking

    of everything that's possible
    in the hearts and minds of men
    somehow it is the biggest things
    that keep on slipping right through our hands

    by thinking we're infallible
    oh, we are tempting fate instead

    time we'd best begin
    here at the ending

    want a third second-chance?
    put your faith in big hands
    pay no more than a glance

    all good things come to an end
    this could be good as it gets
    how's the view from the fence?

    you'd think we'd been here before
    you are mistaken

    of everything that's possible
    in the hearts and minds of men
    when progress could be plausible
    in reverse we curse ourselves

    by thinking were infallible
    oh, we are chancing fate instead

    time we'd best begin
    here at the ending

    of everything that's possible
    in the hearts and minds of men
    somehow it is the biggest things
    that keep on slipping right through our hands

    by thinking were infallible
    oh, we are tempting fate instead

    time we'd best begin

    here at the ending

    keep on locking your doors
    keep on building your floors
    keep on just as before
