Sun In Your Eyes
04:08
|
|||
You're watching your friends
As they're starting to play
And they might be quicker
At coming of age
But you know that somewhere
Deep inside
That you've got something special
Something you hide
And it seems like no one
Knows you exist
But I see you there
With the rails on your chest
As you push up against the conduit fence
Don't lose yourself in the chase for the rest
The sun's in your eyes
As you go for the ride
And in all of these problems
Your fatherless side
I want you to know that it must reprieve
'Cause you and your soul met mine and in me you confide
Your mother she calls you
From inside the door
Just as you started to silence the war
The incessant leaches, the tenement hell
The truth that you feel to the lies that they tell
Head down, closed ears
Mopping the floor
You know you've been told about so much more
And it may seem vague but Eve still took the bite
Did the world forget about treating you right?
Well the sun's in your eyes
But you go for the ride
And in all of these problems
Your fatherless side
Now, I want you to know that it must reprieve
'Cause you and your soul met mine and in me you confide
Someday you'll die
It's bleeding you dry
Sometimes you find
That deep in your mind
We're all gonna die
It's bleeding you dry
Deep in your mind
Sometimes you'll find
(Watch out)
You've got sun, in your eyes
The old times they flew by
You got sun, in your eyes
And this time, passed you by

Dorothy, how do you do?
It's been awhile since I've seen you
Oh, I hope you made it fine up there
You're looking down without a care
But when I saw your body in the casket
I never felt so all alone
I don't want to know what time it comes
Take another breathe and fall with me
A punch in the gut with the revelry
Is it creeping back up?
Have you really had enough?
In the eyes of devotion
Through the lens of the blessed
Eyes to the west
Oh lately, what have you read?
It's the best way to shrink your head
Well, I'm having a pretty rough year
And I miss your piano Christmas cheer
Now that you're missing from the mantle
The meaning seemed to fade away
I don't want to know what time it comes
Take another breathe and fall with me
A punch in the gut with the revelry
Is it creeping back up?
Have you really had enough?
In the eyes of devotion
Through the lens of the blessed
I don't want to feel this shit right now
Things keep moving faster every year
I harden my heart and I shed no tears
The end so near
I hope you can hear this where you're at now
'Cause I miss you every single day

Naked In The Night
02:46

Graydon took her hand from my side
His intentions implied
To my surprise
Julie, looked me in the eyes
Embarrassed at the sight
As Graydon zips up, spits into my cup, Julie stands slowly.
Tears pool fast, my heart so marred
I race for the front yard
Much past the gate
Turn, as I hesitate
She reaches for me then
Pulls me to the right, naked in the night, she burns through me
I wait alone
Feelings they come and go
A dim wit sight
Naked in the night

In My Mind
03:13
|

Love is a line, connects space into time, in my mind.
Friendship dies. Lose your mind.
Seven billion dream...
Can't return, though I yearn.
Blurring the lines, biding my time, I'll be fine.
Seven billion dream of all the love we throw away

So Goddamn Low
03:40
|
|||
If I am the little man
Then say it to my face
If I am the better man
Then put me in my place
If I am an honest man
I'd really like to know
How come all the time I feel
So goddamn low
I owe all my money to
A man I've never seen
Bet you if I saw him in
His big black limousine
He'd laugh it off and spit at me
I feel just like a fool
I life in debt I'm thankful for
Don't that sound cruel
In California
Our friendship it died
It's all for the best though
There's no tears in my eyes
I hope you realize
If I am the little man
Then say it to my face
If I am the better man
Then put me in my place
If I'm just an honest man
I'd really like to know
How come all the time I feel
So goddamn low
How come all the time I feel
So goddamn low
How come all my friends and me
Are so damn alone
How come all my life I've felt
So goddamn low

Desert Psalm
04:53
|
|||
Born with the stars aligned with hers
Die with the name I always cursed
She parts the sea, a bright liquid green
Drown the day I learned she was my queen
The highland it kept me from the fore of my last breathe
Riptide in between
A memory and a dream
I don't want it 'cause it's all I know
I don't want it 'cause it's all I know
Wasted my halo on blood stains and fables
Hard time believing why's joy always fleeting
I don't want it 'cause it's all I know
I don't want it 'cause it's all I know
Took a western wind
Going who knows where
Seeing all my faults - make 'em disappear
You took the seaside coast
Down where no one goes
Now it's all up to me
It's up to me
It's up to me
Burn every bridge
Silence the sound
My numbness feels so weightless
Now

Worth It
04:14
|
|||
Tell me father was it worth it?
When you cheated on my mom. Oh no
Did you know you'd flip our world upside down?
Did you see that you were throwing it all away?
March into May
I just looked into a mirror
And the face I could not bare, today
When did I lose sight of all that made me whole?
When does growth equal aimlessness evermore
Trip through the cold - war
Now I stumble through my twenties
As so many often do, I know
It seems all that's lost might soon be here to stay
As my country continues in its decay
Throwing it away
Well, I heard that it was worth it
To hold yourself on higher ground
The apple fell on fragile shoulders
No one's to blame tonight
I'm up by candle - light

Wise Blood
02:31
|

Wise blood, I miss you more than I should.
We sang, on the roof love hurts till it actually did
I felt too much and then outbid
Buried with familiarity
Wise blood
Wise blood, you made me take it seriously.
And I could, flip the mirror's music marking something like rebellious kids
Things the past can keep unhid
Rising with the thoughts of you and I
I try
Wise blood, I miss you more than I should.
We sang, on the roof love hurts till it actually did
I felt too much and then outbid
Buried with familiarity
Wise blood

Post Egomania
03:09
|
|||
Well, I never felt so lazy
Than hanging 'round with you
From your point of view
Oh, those summer months so hazy
Nothing left to do
Feeling I'm through
The alleys
Coldness so bitter, I saw past your lies
Drift off to sleep
You glutinous fool
Post egomania
Slip in your drool
Pitiful pauper
Westernized plight, the plumb rule
When you read it in the papers
Won't you save me one or two
As the old becomes the new
You walk like a skyscraper
Is love what you accrue?
When you're acting like you do
Mention
Coldness so bitter, I cringed at your lies
Drift off to sleep
You glutinous fool
Post egomania
Slip in your drool
Pitiful pauper,
Westernized plight
You thought that we all knew
You plums rule
