Has anyone taken at stab at them yet?

I would, but I always get them wrong.

Plus, I'm lazy.

    Getaway

    Everyone's a critic looking back up the river
    Every boat is leaking in this town
    Everybody's thinking that they'll all be delivered
    Sitting in a box like lost and found

    But I found my place
    And it's alright
    We're all searching for a better way
    Get it off my plate
    It's alright
    I got my own way to believe

    Find a lighthouse in the dark stormy weather
    Y'all could use a sedative right now
    Holy rollers sitting with their backs to the middle
    All they known is sinking is the bow
    And if you want to have to pray
    It's alright
    We all be thinking with our different brains
    Get this off my plate
    It's alright
    I got my own way to believe
    It's ok
    Sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith
    in no faith
    mine is mine and your's won't take its place
    now make your getaway

    Science says we're makin love like the lizzards
    Trying to say that fossils aint profound
    Simon says that we are not allowed to consider
    Simon says stand up, sit down, you're out

    But I found my place
    And it's alright
    I'll bear witness to some stranger things
    Get this off my plate
    It's alright
    I got my own way to believe

    It's ok
    Sometimes you find yourself being told to change your ways
    there's no way
    mine is mine and your's won't take its place
    now make your getaway hey
    hey hey

    hey hey
    It's ok
    Sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith
    in no faith
    mine is mine and your's won't take its place
    now make your getaway

    It's Ok
    Sometimes you find yourself being told to change your ways
    For God's sake
    mine is mine and your's won't take its place
    now make your getaway
    now make your getaway



    "Mind Your Manners"
    I've got an unfortunate feelin'
    I've been beaten down
    I feel I don't believe
    And now the truth is coming out
    What they've taken is more than a vow
    They've taken your innocence
    And then they throw them on a burning fire

    All along they're sayin'
    Mind your manners

    I caught myself believin'
    That I needed God
    And if it's hard for some
    We sure could use it now
    Try my patience
    My patience tried
    This world's no longer good enough
    That makes me wanna cry
    All along they're saying
    Mind your manners
    Silence save him

    Self-realized and metaphysically redeemed
    May not live another life
    May not solve a mystery
    Right around the corner
    Could be bigger than ourselves
    We could will it to the sky
    Or we could something else

    No longer sayin'
    Mind your manners
    Always burning
    Self-realized and metaphysically redeemed
    May not live another life
    May not solve a mystery
    Right around the corner
    Could be bigger than ourselves
    We could will it to the sky
    Or we could something else

    Go to Heaven
    That's swell
    How do you like it
    Livin' Hell
    Go to Heaven
    That's swell
    How do you like it
    Livin' Hell
    Go to Heaven
    That's swell
    How do you like it
    Livin' Hell

    Livin' Hell!

    My Father's Son

    I come from a genius, I am my father’s son,
    Yeah, too bad he was a psychopath and now I’m the next in line,
    [Lonely nest], dear mother, yes, surely she’s a work of art,
    I never got top dollar, but she gave us all a star.

    Can I get a reprieve?
    This gene pool don’t hurt me.
    Can I beg a release
    From the volunteer amputee?
    From the moment I fell
    I called on DNA,
    Why such betrayal
    Got me tooth and nail.

    Yeah, how’s about one conversation with nothing else left to be had,
    [Oh, is this] your long lost son, and he’s never had dear old dad,
    I forget the insemination and for that I’m s’posed to be glad,
    What a pity you left us so soon to climb your mountain of regret.

    Can I get a reprieve?
    This gene pool dark and deep.
    Can I beg a release?
    Can I volunteer amputee?
    From the moment I fell
    I called on DNA,
    Why such betrayal?
    Oh I gotta set sail.

    Oh real bright light shining as you’re trying to breathe in thin air,
    Cannot forget you’re hiding collected wounds left unhealed,
    When every thought you’re thinking sinks you darker than the new moon sky,
    The faraway lights rising in the whites of your eyes.

    Now father you’re dead and gone and I’m finally free to be me,
    Thanks for all your dark gifts for which I’ve got no sympathy,
    I’m living in a walled-up place in the bounds of 5th symphony,
    Thanks for this and thanks for that, I gotta let go, learn to see
    [legacy?].

    Can I get a reprieve?
    This gene pool don’t hurt me.
    Can I beg a release?
    Can I volunteer amputee?
    From the moment I fell
    I called on DNA,
    Why such betrayal
    Oh I gotta set sail.



    SIRENS

    Hear the sirens, hear the siren
    Hear the siren, hear the circus so profound
    I hear the sirens more and more in this here town
    Let me catch my breath to breathe then reach across the bed

    Just to know we’re safe, I am a grateful man
    This light has been alive and I can see you clear
    I could take your hand, and feel your breath
    For fear that someday we'll 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 send 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 grace, 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 grace, 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.

    LIGHTING BOLT


    She comes on like a stone
    But you dont know where from she was thrown
    like a burning meteor from miles high

    lookin for a place to land
    she said have you got your self some sand
    and whatever you reply she took as Yes

    Now she comes after me
    with her newly planted seeds
    and soon your thrown down on your knees
    and then your dead
    And then before you know
    the weeds are obesely overgrown
    with all the wild seeds she sows in your sleep

    you gotta know youll never let her go
    shes a lightning bolt, lightning bolt, lightning bolt

    Always something never nothing
    isnt that the way we're taught to be, to be
    flipping through the worn out pages
    and stages when you knew not who to be, yeah
    until the lightning strike sets you free, yeah

    you gotta know youll never let her go
    shes a lightning bolt, lightning bolt, lightning bolt

    The crashing stormy waves
    erode her shoreline everyday
    untill the castle of her ways
    turns to sand

    She holds her lovin breast
    As her birds fall from the nest
    Flying towards the great northwest
    Chanting yeah hee yeah

    And with no repair in sight
    There is no God with such might
    As you open her world wide with such a view
    And your death will soon arrive
    As she finally decides
    That all her problems they won't die with you
    ay yeah, ay yeah

    never let her go
    Shes your lightning bolt
    never let her go
    She's true
    She's your lightning bolt
    She's a lightning bolt
    Uncontrollable, like you


    Infallible


    Infallible

    Keep on lockin your doors
    Keep on building your floors
    Keep on just as before
    Pay disasters no mind
    Didnt get you this time
    No friends left at the crime
    Our ships come in, ..and its sinking
    Of everything thats possible
    in the hearts and minds of man
    Somehow it is the biggest things
    that keep on slipping right through our hands

    By thinking we're infallible
    or we are tempting fate instead
    time we 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 a head
    this could be as good as it gets
    hows the view from the fence
    you think we've been here before you are mistaken
    Of everything thats possible
    in the hearts and minds of man
    when progress could be plausible
    if we first curse ourselves

    By thinking we're infallible
    we are tempting fate instead
    time we best begin here at the ending

    Of everything thats possible
    in the hearts and minds of man
    Somehow it is the biggest things
    that keep on slipping right through our hands

    By thinking we're infallible
    we are tempting fate instead

    ...time we best begin here at the ending
    ...here at the ending
    ...Keep on lockin your doors
    ...Keep on building your floors
    ...Keep on just as before

    Pendulum


    cant know what's high
    till you been down so low
    the futures bright
    lit up with no where to go
    to and fro the pendulum throws
    we are here and then we go
    my shadow left me long ago

    understand what we dont know
    its my past, its my last, this may grow
    easy come and easy go
    easy left me a long time ago

    Im in the fire but im still cold
    nothing works..works for me anymore

    to and fro the pendulum throws
    to and fro the pendulum throws



    Swallowed Whole

    I can feel the dawn, I can feel the earth
    I can feel the living all around…..
    I can choose a path, I can choose the word
    I can start the healing, Bring it now….
    Whispered songs inside the wind
    Breathing in forgiveness
    Like vibrations with no end
    Feel the planet humming
    What is clear far from the noise, gets swallowed whole

    I can feel the sun, I can see the sound
    I can set myself right hear and drown….
    I can feel the rush, I could clear the clouds
    I could set the needles spinning loud…..
    I can hear the crash, I can feel the pound
    I can feel the current pulling down….

    Whispered songs inside the wind
    Breathing in forgiveness
    Like vibrations with no end
    Feel the planet humming
    What is clear far from the noise, gets swallowed whole

    With no quiet to be found
    spirit lifted off the ground
    and what lies beyond the grave
    might be welcomed change
    And will come, come what may
    with no rest in peace
    Until that day

    I could choose a path, I could choose the word
    I could start the healing, Bring it now….
    I could be the sun, I could be the sound
    I could set myself right here and drown
    Whispered songs inside the wind
    Breathing in forgiveness
    And the Chapter I’ve not read
    Turn the page

    Let the Records Play

    When the kingdom comes he puts the records on
    and with his blistered thumb hits play
    And with the volume up he goes and fills his cup
    and lets the drummer drum take away
    the pain
    the pain

    breaking
    foresaken
    what’s that you’re taken
    Needing the feeling
    he lets the records play

    I showed the future dim
    The cigarette light’s in
    the vaporizer green light grim
    and when the shot glass talks he goes to listen up
    until he’s nice and numb again
    again

    shaken
    the breaking
    not one for faking
    the feeling is healing
    he lets the records play
    there’s wisdom in his ways

    I’ve been down and I fell so hard and far from grace
    I’ve been hurt and I still recall the flaws on her face
    I’ve been off but im on my feet...
    my feet again

    shaken
    foresaken
    what’s that you’re taking
    the weeding
    the feeling
    it lets the records play

    shaken
    but breaking
    not one for faking
    the reeling is healing
    he lets the records play
    there’s wisdom in his ways

    Sleeping by myself


    I should have know there was someone else
    down below i always kept it to myself
    Now I believe in nothing, not today
    as i pull myself outta your sight
    Ill be sleeping by myself tonight

    I could never go with no one else
    the hurt dont show but who knows time will tell
    Now I believe in nothing but the pain
    and i cant see this turning out right
    Ill be sleeping by myself tonight

    Forever be sad and lonely
    Forever never be the same
    i close my eyes, wait for a sign
    am i just waiting in vain?

    I close my eyes, wait for a sign
    am i just waiting in vain?
    I believe in nothing just ask them
    sometimes the two are just the same
    im beginning to see whats left of me
    is gonna have to be free to survive
    Ill be sleeping by myself tonight

    Now I believe in nothing but the pain
    and i cant see this turning out right
    Ill be sleeping by myself
    Ill be sleeping by myself
    Ill be sleeping by myself tonight

    Yellow Moon

    Here far away
    One could feel the earth vibrate
    Moon changing shape and shade
    as we all do under its gaze
    Yellow moon on the rise
    Yellow moon on the rise

    Round we go, where we stop no one knows
    So tonight the moonlight glows
    Yellow moon on the rise

    An echo that rings a bullet unchained
    one life, one grave, joins the parade

    At night the sky grows dark with fallen stars
    who comes so far a headstone and grave
    the colors turns grey
    the black and white fade

    Yellow Moon on the rise
    Yellow Moon on the rise

    Yellow Moon on the rise
    Yellow Moon on the rise




    Future Days

    If i ever were to lose you I'd surely lose myself.
    Everything I have found here .. I've not found by myself.
    Try and sometimes you'll succeed.
    To make this man of me.
    All my stolen missin parts
    I've no need for anymore.
    I believe and I believe cause i can see
    Our future days, days of you and me.

    Back when i was feeling broken
    I focused on a friend
    you came deep as in the ocean is something outhere here
    All the complexities and games
    no one wins but somehow they're still playing
    All the missin crooked hearts
    they may die but in us they live on
    I believe and I believe cause i can see.
    Our future days, days of you and me.

    When hurricanes and cyclones rage
    when winds turn dirt to dust
    when floods they came the tides they raised
    never closer became us
    All the promises at sundown
    I met them like the rest

    All the demons used to come round
    Im gratefull now they've left
    so persistant in my ways
    Angel I am here to stay
    No resistance,no alarms
    please this is just too good to be gone
    I believe and I believe cause i can see.
    Our future days, days of you and me.
