The Only Excuse

I want to start the day with you
I want to wake up to your eyes
a mess of things I've tried to hide
then stars collide
respectable jobs with benefits
i can't make life work
i can't make the ends meet
i hate using, saying these words
for you it fits
are you impressed
i've tried so hard to get this
in distress over the lack of confidence
am i lazy or am i just a genius
i wanted to start the day with you
i want to wake up to your eyes
and I'm tired of the lies...
the stars collide

The Silent Symphony

can't keep my eyes open
it's gotten dark
things are harder to see
apart from my heart
i'll say something clever
to sway you this way
something clever
so you'll never betray
they keep yelling while i play numb
i'll take the brass simulcast
my photographs of tired trance
you're the pebble in my shoe
beyond the clouds above the sky
all the times you didn't mean to cry
raindrops are your tears from pride
behind hollow eyes
blood has come to bring the cold
i can't stay awake
Just stare some more
leaves fall without reason
reset my intenions
incidently
i'm careful not to mention
they keep yelling while i play numb
i'll take the brass simulcast
my photographs of tired trance
you're the pebble in my shoe
beyond the clouds above the sky
all the times you didn't mean to cry
raindrops are your tears from pride
i'll take the brass simulcast
my photographs of tired trance
you're the pebble in my shoe
beyond the clouds above the sky
all the times you didn't mean to cry
raindrops are your tears from pride

Dreams Are Here
02:40

dream
as I dream
you've been here
dream
as you wish
you could be
so sit along the wide bench
and call away the sun
who's won the day again?
your butter and bread?
soak
as you soak
in the waves
and come
apart
to save
say the world is flat
and roundabout is where it's at
and you change it twice
and lose it there
call away the moon
will autumn be here soon
you're not so sure
but dream
as I dream
you are here

Broken Lullabyes
02:34
|
|||
|
when the light doesn't fade
and wicker dies anyway
your shadow lies today
the following night
good night
good to fly
your broken old kite
never felt the need to fly
unforgiven
tugs at both ends
you wander alone
in spite of warning
brush your hair cause your scared
you stared too long in the mirror
It'll never be right
already feels wrong

I don't say
You don't know
pieces of pistols
diseases inside of my throat
you don't say
I don't know
you find the way
needed to know
defining the same
this morning after
I needed to see anyways
throw it away
your mind's a disaster
needing to feed
here we go
on so late
diamonds of something
skipping this page
finding a fixture
left in the womb
climbing the stairs
leading up to my room
defining the days
this morning after
I need it despite that
throw it away
mine's a disaster
needing to be free
timing the nodes
dividing the lanes
you wanted to say
the morning after
I need you despite that
but throw it away
your mind's a disaster
what does it mean anyways
I'm standing in place
finding there's nothing
I need you to just go away
peeling disgrace
enlivening something
I take and tear through space
dividing the lanes

Sneak in a Smile

i saw this smile today
this smile that caught my eye
it's a rare rare find, someone not trying
to smile
the weather has this way
heartfelt promises are whispered in the wind
maybe this year this season
those leaves on the ground
are the lost reasons
i love the smell of your hair
reminds of the days
when you'd sing those songs
words weren't important at all
the feelings made it belong

Unowned

somewhere
you've been unreasoned
to be away
a daylight softly beckons
and calls you into the waves
better than you've ever known
why go?
why go?
better than you've ever known
why go?
why go?
sunset is wasted
so scared to fall
somewhere
to be unreasoned
still, you never call
better than you've ever known
why go?
why go?
better than you've ever known
why go?
why go?

Stop In
02:32

I baked myself into a pie
best you'd better not ask why
Oh why oh why my butterfly
must you sit and stare and cry
the world is round and you're so high
I've looked again and said goodbye
ahh ahh ahh ahh
ahh all around
hear the sound I might breathe
before it dies
black ties and old sighs
just to tell you
please drop by

Universe With A Map

there's a chance for rain
what i want to do is get this behind us
my heart longs for yours and it's getting smarter
the soft drugs won't last much longer
the harder ones will get me closer to my father
there's a chance for rain
universe with a map
the birds don't choose there pack
love just happens
eat the crumbs you've dropped
there selling umbrellas at ridiculous prices
it's hard to impress me with war stories
i've heard them all
saw the movie coming out next fall
there's a chance for rain
sell me an old story
tell me i'm wrong
heard you wanted glory
but all you got was wet

Scratch and Sniff
03:37
|

|
somewhere to wait and whisper a name
she says it's the same and freezes the frame
take it back
she skipped this track
you'll never hear cause she's watching you near
and the fear's in her eyes and it's no surprise
you've never relaxed
cause you skipped this track
if you listen you'd be taken back
pulls you back
close your eyes and breathe in this track
never heard it quite like this before
and now you'll die for more
breathe it in just once more
these are the things that
make you wonder
does she really have it all together
this song is the answer to all of your love
and your shameful little problems
you stare and you wait but you never really knew
and she knows it too
that the things that you share are just paper and glue
and you sigh
but always denied
so try to listen now
at this moment of clarity
listen for the sounds of
appreciation from the distant one
inside color blinds your heart
but on this track everything luminates
sit and anticipate
everything you wanted from me is being sung
like a gun you will never see it coming
like a gun blazes through the sun
in the middle of your eye
to say goodbye to the clouds inside
you've already tried, so lie

Bus Ticket To Nowhere

sweeter the wine
taste the sun in the sands of time
ride the train
cross the waters
towards the dawn
in the mellow
piece of mind
standing over stop the grind
halt on plains
towards the dawn
maybe he didn't see
all the things stand right through me
maybe he doesn't know what's wrong
but the use of all the pains
making up for me
I don't mean to yell
he didn't know
he couldn't tell
make up on the wind
kiss the sun and taste the wilds
spin along the universe awhile
delicate in breeze
the grass is waving everyone
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
watch the grass weep

Friend and Uncertainty
03:12

I'm in love with the wrong kind
I'm in love with them all
she takes me all apart
and makes me whole
It's a color you've seen before
Pulling me out of my soul
pulls me back
into my chair
into the night my dreams stare
lost without reasons
for anything at all
And though she says maybe
for her
this always means no
pretty till you try
i can't rely on your voice
so looking back
i demand the simple things
from the floor to the ceiling
she watches out a window
and closes the beads on the blinds
and turns to her newest love
and says goodnight

Vanilla and Creme
08:25
|
|||
|
come back around
lay your head down
you've been running for so long
burning bright
strangeness into night
lost and loveless, hanging on
quietly
hanging on to me
waiting for a feeling, a morning song
waiting for dawn
I don't wanna feel
and I don't wanna breathe
you say to yourself it's all you need
a strange picture window show
Now you'll never see
and now you'll never know
vanilla and creme like seeds you sew
this day's gone so slow
on your way
like never again today
don't you know that you belonged
take your place
awake in outer space
telling the world that you're so strong so strong
like velvet clenching on
don't wait until it's gone
I don't wanna feel
and I don't wanna breathe
you say to yourself it's all you need
a strange picture window show
Now you'll never see
and now you'll never know
vanilla and creme like seeds you sew
this day's gone so slow
take my heart
screaming too far
you tell yourself you're lost where you are
Still I don't wanna feel
and I don't wanna breathe
you say to yourself it's all you need
a strange picture window show
Now you'll never see
and now you'll never know
vanilla and creme like seeds you sew
this day's gone so slow
I don't wanna feel
I don't wanna breathe
vanilla and creme
