Unseen Forces
04:21
|
|||
Our heads are humming and we don't know why
Is this anyway to live, live our lives?
It’s too much to ask and lay and shut our tired eyes
It should be so easy just to make things right
Unseen forces, apocalyptic horses
We wake and we walk
Can we just stretch out in the grass and relax in the dark?
My head is ringing like it's splitting in half
One part for every little thing, and the rest is whatever’s left
It’s too much to ask and lay and close our tired minds
It should be so easy just to do what’s right
Unseen forces, apocalyptic horses
We wake and we walk
Can we just stretch out in the grass and relax in the dark?

Electric Touch
05:48
|

They said it in the books I’ve read
But it would never happen to you
Then, when every horse is beat down dead
The cover you never judged is overdue
Don’t hold your breath
The manual says
Don’t make mistakes
Your little glass heart will break
They’ve got you by the spine
In the corner of a dusty square
And they, say even when the canvas tears
Your cardboard bones show through
Don’t hold your breath
The manual says
Don’t make mistakes
Your little glass heart will break
The hair on the back of your neck stands up
It’s the electric touch
Every book I’ve read never said
It would mean this much
We all know how this story ends
But after the ever after then what?
Well, let’s open up old wounds again
And rub all the salt in the cuts

I’m looking for the end, the end of the world
In the hurricane’s eye and the tornado’s swirl
This is that song
You were writing all along
Life never really seemed so long
On and on, then its gone
The ice caps melt
We’re stuck in Miami Beach
And I’ve never felt so out of touch or out of reach
These postcards won’t sell themselves
It’s for the girl I’ve loved all along
Who always waltzed into my songs
On and on, then she’s gone
Early warnings, the temperature is warming
Boil over, the sun is getting closer
Bible black predawns
The chem trails in argyle skies
Burning hades red in gargoyle eyes
I guess we didn’t try

Say What You Say
02:52
|
|||
Hey it's all way too far
To sail in the water
Fade in the other
Say what you’re gonna say
So say what you’ll say when you say what you’re gonna
Say what you’d say if you’d say what you wanna
Say what you’d say and you say it like you really mean
Hey you called to say it all
It treats you unkindly
And when you finally
Stand on your feet again
You say what you say when you’re back with each other
Say what you’d say when you've had it with your lover
Say what you’d say with the thought of another man
You’re feeling reckless
And the chain around your necklace
Weighs you down
Some words when spoken
Never fix all that is broken
When you’re down
Forget to celebrate
Every smile that you make
Feels like a frown
I’ve had the last of everything
Say what you say what you say if we wanna
Say what we say what we say to each other
Say what you’d say would you say to another minute of your time

Sliver of the Sun
03:24
|
|||
The light in your mind
Glows and electrifies
Floating in the sweet sublime
To live on after we die
Look away it’s coming up
A sliver of the sun
Everyday it ends the same
With a sliver of the sun
Remembering the clearest night
The waves of a glowing tide
Floating in the solution we find
Cerebrospinal afterlife
Look away it’s coming up
A sliver of the sun
Everyday it ends the same
With a sliver of the sun
The light in your mind
Glows and electrifies
Floating in the sweet sublime
To live on after we die
Look away it’s coming up
A sliver of the sun
Everyday begins the same
With a sliver of the sun

Bad Vibes
04:08
|
|||
I thought I knew you
But I could see right through you
Now I’m feeling the June Gloom
Alright, now I’m through with you
Bad vibes are sneaking in the window
Our lives are forever intertwined
So make up your mind
If I laid down flat on the sidewalk
They’d probably draw a line of chalk around me dead
Wake blushing red
I wish I could quit
Because you know that I’m through with it
And I’ve been dragged through it
So I’ll lay it on thick
I’m sleeping through every morning
Without so much as a warning coming from you
You know it's true
If I laid down flat on the sidewalk
They’d probably draw a line of chalk around me dead
Wake blushing red

Soft Glow
02:42
|
|||
In the morning light
I would see you
If I didn’t need you
Then I wouldn’t be with you
I need you to help me understand
But the voice in my head
Won’t take away these plans
In the evening light
I see your soft glow
If I didn’t tell you so
Then you would never know
You never tell me
What I need to hear
So the voice in my heart
Must take away my fears
In the morning light
I would see you
If I didn’t need you
Then I wouldn’t be with you
I need you to help me understand
But the voice in my head
Won’t take away these plans

Cherry Black Sunspot
03:02
|
|||
Overtaken by the undertow
The moon is hiding and the tides are low
Cherry black sunspot
Radiation glow
The milky way’s past due
And expiring soon
A rip current ripped from the headlines
Blood relation to The Sunday Times
Read all over in black and white
The solar waves are due
And headed for the moon
King’s Crossing on the Kingdom’s Tide
Switch the panic into overdrive
Just ahead of the comet’s tail
Drowning in satellites
In an ever expanding night

My Heart is on Fire
03:22
|
|||
Burn like a cigarette
Until there’s nothing left
These days we need a rest
It’s like our love is up in smoke
You take it as some sort of joke
Just stop and laugh it off
My heart is on fire
My heart is on fire
My heart is on fire
For you
Joke like we never left
And wish each other best
Just keep that sweater vest
It always looked better on you
Anyway
You loved me like no others do
Either way
Just stop and sleep it off
My heart is on fire
My heart is on fire
My heart is on fire
For you

Stuck in a Book
02:49
|
|||
I’ve been stuck in a book for oh so very long
Every breath that I took seemed to make it into a song
But every word was wrong
And had been for so long
And every chance I had to make it was gone
I was stuck on a page and couldn’t make it out alone
In so many ways I was reminded of you and now...
If I ever make it out, I’ll eat every last goodbye
We’ll climb together the words and letters

Start Again
03:02
|
|||
Where are we heading?
Keep following the setting sun
What are you dreading?
Asbestos ceilings and fluorescent bulbs
The sun is never shining in your mind
Lift the veil that’s covering your eyes
Then we can start again
Then we can start again
Is this a dead end?
Are we doomed to repeat the past?
Let’s keep it steady
There has never been a harder task
The black wings only carry you so far
Until you keep crashing in the same car
Then we can start again
Then we can start again

I’ve been stuck in a book
for oh so very long
Every breath that I took
Seemed to make it into a song
But every word is wrong
And has been for so long
And every chance I had to change it is gone
How much is enough?
How deep is your love?
I'm stuck on a page
And couldn’t make it out alone
In so many ways
I am reminded of you and now
If I ever make it out, I’ll eat every last goodbye
We’ll climb together the words and letters
How much is enough?
How deep is your love?
