Cro-Magnon Twist

There’s someone out there, is it true?
There’s someone out there, but who?
For all I know that
That someone is you
I’m missing out, I never planned to listen in
Swallowed whole by the whale of indecision
My hands shake, rattle, and my vision is blurred
Shake the tree and only filled with dead birds
There’s someone out there, is it true?
There’s someone out there, but who?
For all I know that
That someone is you
Bottle up, shake it up, hiccup, and explode
There’s more that you’ve never, ever been told
But how much do you want to, want to, really know
The truth hurts but the lies are taking their toll

The other night I dreamt of you
And you were holding me tight
The other night I dreamt of you
And everything was right
Til the morning light
When I opened up my eyes to find that...

If It Is It Is
04:15
|
|||
|
The sun beats down
And the air is heavy in your chest
All the rest
Is a cloud at the back of your mind
This time
We’ll read between every dotted line
Like it’s a sign
The moon hangs low
And your hair is heavy on your head
Like you said
That your mind was still back in bed
When you left
Stretched too far upon the bleeding edge
Watch your head
If It Is It Is
Even if it’s not
But even it is
It really matters not

I love you, wherever you are
I want you for always and ever and so far
Memories in your pocket just to keep
Memories in your pocket just to lock it just to…
Memories in your pocket just to keep
Memories in your pocket just to lock it just to see
I want you, right here by my side
I want you for always and ever in my sight
Memories in your pocket just to keep
Memories in your pocket just to lock it just to…
Memories in your pocket just to keep
Memories in your pocket just to lock it just to keep

I Feel Strange
03:46
|
|||
|
I feel the white in sides of my eyes
And with every fainting spell that’s cast I realize
For every little lie that comes dressed in white
You know that that cloak comes in every size
Every tower gleams in the light of the sun
And with every hour we drift further away from
The blinking lights that surround our lives
That burns the retinas of our aching eyes
I feel strange
I feel strange enough
I feel strange enough to say
That I feel strange
I feel strange

Microwaved Honey
02:59
|

|
Scribble down you a love song, darlin’
On a legal pad
You’re always hard to impress
You’re a hard cookie to crack
You wanna keep your emotions, honeybee
Down deep inside
But when they come out bubbling over
No use to try and hide
It feels like microwaved honey
Dripping over your eyes
And it keeps on covering your body
Straight down your spine
Everyday is a love song, darlin’
Pin my heart to my sleeve
A spoon of sugar always goes down easy
We’ll get the check and leave

Eyeball in the Sky
03:27
|
|||
|
Change your clothing
And all of your loathing
There’s an eyeball in the sky
What matters deeply
Always shows up discretely
There’s an eyeball in the sky
Say your prayers
And don’t go splitting hairs
There’s an eyeball in the sky
If life’s a journey
Before you’re wheeled out on a gurney
There’s an eyeball in the sky
And here I walk
Down the long, dark road again
And the unknown always threatens to come up around the bend
Do I act alone?
Or am I just an actor in a play?
As dark as it seems, I hear laughter just beyond the stage
This is a blessing
It’s always messing
With an eyeball in the sky
Change your clothing
And all of your loathing
There’s an eyeball in the sky

For Real
02:35
|

|
This feels like something I can get behind
If it’s not too late to say I won’t change my mind
You make me feel like starting something that’s more for real
And you make me feel like we’ve got something that’s more for real
There’s too many people in this world, alive
Trying to tell you all you’ve heard is a lie
But you make me feel like starting something that’s more for real
And you make me feel like we’ve got something that’s more for real

The Greenest Blues
02:43
|
|||
|
I’ve never waded into a dark night of the soul
Those starry night swirls were enough to keep me whole
Some puddles deceive with the depth at which they dive
But the surface still reflects every diamond in your eye
I’m a little green at this whole blues thing
If the glass is half empty there’s still some water to drink
And I’m a little lean on the heavy side of things
Too quick to get crushed before I’ve had enough to think
Sometimes the bright side is eclipsed by my mind
The darkness will unravel the eternal night sky
Sometimes I feel boxed in a cardboard bin
Wondering if I’ll ever get to breathe fresh air again
Every clipped wing doesn’t mean a single thing
If you walk right out the door and just keep walking down the street
Every missed connection is a feather in your cap
If you don’t learn from your mistakes then that’s all you’ll ever have

It Seemed So Real
02:58
|
|||
|
In a dream it seemed so real
And all I’ve ever had, that made me feel
But I lost my way home
And I felt so alone
In a dream it seemed so real
In a dream, it seemed so real
And every finger felt all there was to feel
When all is said and done
And I’ve seen what is to come
In a dream, it seemed so real
