Words that are spoken
Can never be taken back
Nothing in the past
*****************************
She once believed him
Inside their shared prison cell
Nothing in the well
******************************
Looking for something
Flies away into the sun
Doesn't mean nothing
*****************************
One day she stiffened
Over to the other side
Empty stares still lied
*****************************
He forgets something
Now destined to remember
But it was nothing
******************************
He walks on his own
Thinks thoughts he can't help thinking
Nothing man's sinking
*******************************
Cursed the day that's slow
He caught a bolt of lightning
Had to let it go0 -
begging for a prayer,
how can i quit to be there?
can you see me now.0 -
Hard To Imagine
Things were so different then
This was way back when
*********************************
No one's safe from harm
It's a tattered coat of arms
Left here by the past
*********************************
The rise and the fall
Never know just what they saw
Thought they saw it all
**********************************
Paint you a picture
Shaded and shrouded in gray
Fire from yesterday
**********************************
It's hard to explain
There must be a way somehow
It's different now
**********************************
Forget tradition
It's so Hard To Imagine
Won't happen again0 -
Keep on keeping on
Dream about getting along
Awake dreaming on
*******************************
A punch to the head
Smile big with a toothless grin
My break's kicking in
*********************************
Supersonic gone
Truth be told it took my soul
Still won't let it go
*********************************
Supersonic goes
Leaves rhythm but clocks run slow
Don't need it I know
**********************************
Nothing I've been told
Cut to the crease I'm the fold
Put the shit in whole
**********************************
Gotta feel it now
Living life with volume loud
Need to hear the sound0 -
Whisper in my ear
Still have time right now I'm here
But not much longer
****************************************
Don't have much to fear
I'm still here the end is near
Then I'll disappear
****************************************
****************************************
If you stay with me
I'll know I'm a lucky man
Then we can just breathe0 -
Filled up with his past
Half his life wasted away
Needs love of a girl
*****************************
Drilled the pain alone
Money buys a getaway
Not love of a girl
*****************************
Fills his night with thoughts
All about and Of The Girl
Chose a heavy path
******************************
Deals them off the top
Before he's carried away
Half life hand me downed
*******************************
Won't say he's empty
Fills his life up with the thoughts
Of love Of The Girl0 -
Bells are ringing out
Waves crash then go on their way
Others walked away
****************************************
The Man Of The Hour
He's taking his final bow
His goodbye for now
*****************************************
The young men pretend
Where the old men comprehend
Gospel of the land
******************************************
The whole town came down
He's taking his final bow
It's goodbye for now
******************************************
Roads he paved for me
Broken seams and rusted signs
Shows love his own way
*******************************************
The curtain comes down
The man takes his final bow
Goodbye just for now0 -
Routine was the theme
Never imagined being
Moved by Sleight Of Hand
********************************
Drifting on the side
As if moved by Sleight Of Hand
While dirt turned to sand
*********************************
No time waves goodbye
More time to dream to himself
On the other side
**********************************
Can't recall the plan
Wandering just like a man
Moved by Sleight Of Hand
***********************************
When he reached the shore
No new realizations
In his clip-on world
***********************************
A lost road he knew
Like a book read in his sleep
Endlessly by heart0 -
Synapse flash is slow
The days pass where do they go
Spend time while you can
**************************************
Resign just let go
Realize there's no control
Just let God's Dice roll
**************************************
There's no place to go
Rusted minds will never know
Try to walk away
**************************************
Pouring too much thought
Down a hole it's overwrought
Will finish us off
**************************************
Nothing in the cards
It's driving your sanity
Not your destiny
**************************************
When will God's Dice roll
This monkey minded living
Is taking its toll
**************************************
It's out of your hands
You stumble as it crumbles
Just beyond your grasp
**************************************
God's Dice designing
Your life and will are riding
On your resigning0 -
American dream
Nothing in your bank for me
I'm disbeleiving
*******************************
An unasked question
Long Gone in a tail light fade
Answer's far away
*******************************
This place brings me down
I will be what I could be
Away from this town
*******************************
Leave this all behind
Long Gone letting go of all
Won't look back this time
*******************************
This has no feeling
Nothing is everything
Then I'll have it all0 -
Quest we're taking on
How to be happy and true
Not one to presume
*****************************
Precious thing to bear
The way she can reach my heart
Right out of Thin Air
******************************
Feelings that we share
Only one can reach my heart
Always know she's there
*******************************
Sun clutches the dawn
Clouds reflected in our pond
Where the water's calm
*******************************
One day in my arms
A light will shine when she's there
Appears in Thin Air0 -
I have been looking
for this girl all over here
but she hid away'I want to hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
and I'll overdo it'0 -
Be a human light
It's an Inside Job today
You'll be shown the way
*****************************
Run into the rain
Rise and fix a broken soul
To restore its whole
******************************
You chose how you are
Life comes from within your heart
It's an Inside Job
******************************
Make yourself a pact
There's a greater way for all
Keep your faith intact0 -
I can't find my wheels
The light doesn't show you near
Lost without you here
**************************************
This world goes nowhere
Dark horse fields befriending me
With a fear that breeds
***************************************
Others run and hide
I'm stuck on the Other Side
I have to be there
***************************************
Nothing is the same
Breaking fast I need a lift
Know I'd never quit
***************************************
Noise in the quiet
Your melodies in my ear
Fade when you're not here0 -
City mind is gray
Packing in and overgrown
I'm hiding away
*****************************
Something we can't hold
Standing in a hole alone
Love is deep below
*****************************
Seen it all before
The memories eat at me
A Ghost doesn't bleed
*****************************
Flying like a Ghost
I hear talk and old friends call
Makes no sense at all0 -
Life is falling down
Dies to be part of the ground
Goes from root to stem
**********************************
Life is looking in
Practicing an accident
Upside to this down
**********************************
Big lie hits your eye
Realize we're upside down
A book you can't close
**********************************
Seeds on the deathbed
Brown to black it's coming back
Dig your own garden
**********************************
The world turns on love
Cropduster sees the patterns
From on high above0 -
When death comes around
Can't depend on tomorrow
Forced to hear death's song
*********************************
Why invite darkness
Sad song doesn't have to play
Why just go halfway
*********************************
Home inside your head
Locked door mess of unmade beds
Sores you don't attend
*********************************
Too weak to be strong
Say there's always something wrong
Your plan all along
*********************************
Harder on your self
Leave the pain for someone else
World waits up the stairs
*********************************
Faced a Life Wasted
Never going back again
Escape erased it
*********************************
Taste a Life Wasted
Warm with negativity
Comfort's energy
*********************************
There's nothing back there
Did you leave yourself behind
There for you to find0 -
Searching the haystacks
Wanted To Get Right with it
Get it right with you
********************************
Wait for the moment
For the moment between us
You'll swear if you must
********************************
The fire is made now
Too hot it's harder to touch
Waiting for sundown
********************************
Dreg society
Underbelly beside me
I'm following thee
********************************
Wanted To Get Right
Turn water into sunshine
Get with it with you
********************************
Each day's a parade
Still need a way to feel right
Get it right with you0 -
Starting to believe
This hopeless situation
Trying to achieve
****************************
It's our destiny
Be the one we've been before
Leads you back to war
*****************************
Keep on running on
It's got to be All Or None
Surrender to one0 -
It's been a while since
That last night we spoke of this
But I can't forget
How you looked at me
With those lonely lazy eyes
You have yet to leave'I want to hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
and I'll overdo it'0
