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.
