Up Close

UP CLOSE:
Those are threatening skies ahead
Those are deadly storms behind
Pulling you out of the dirt and the dread
Pushing you through to the light and the shine
Do you want to be near me and feel me up close
Or would you rather wrap your arms around a ghost
You just keep on getting sick
Took too long to decide
Used all your energy on the blow up trick
Left apparitions in to confide
Do you want to be near me and feel me up close
Or would you rather wrap your arms around a ghost
Your potential capped and erased your maps
You were nose deep and face first crashed
Structures they shiver, fall, then smolder
Got no choice but to try start over
Do you want to be near me and feel me up close
Or would you rather wrap your arms around a ghost
A ghost
A ghost

MINUTES:
Something fell from the sky
Now it's not mine
Was better far from my eyes
Held it so close and I held it so tight
This dissipating life
This lie
Soil and the seed that grows vibrantly
Only in ways to divide
Branches of your tree will never reach me
And so I'll live with my
Minutes
Oh minutes
Minutes won't you come back to me
Minutes
Oh minutes
minutes I beg of thee
Of thee
Who's gonna fill these rooms
Who's gonna walk these halls
Who's voices in this space
Who's pictures on these walls
Don't know what you saw in this junkyard of thoughts
Last words, lost lines
Stop singing for so long that your voice is just gone
A fading sound in time
Minutes
Oh minutes
Minutes won't you come back to me
Minutes
Oh minutes
minutes I beg of thee
Of thee

WHISTLING KID:
Man of routine
Kicking and screaming
Such loyalty
Isn't it frightening
Balancing beam
End up fallling
Spying on royalty
Got caught peaking
And all of the while he is soundly sleeping
And all of the day she moves effortlessly
Those pretty melodies
Stopped making sense to me
Too close, too far, too free
Hooked on the sweets prospects are fallling
Priced out of the market on penny candy
And all of the while he is soundly sleeping
And all of the day she moves effortlessly
Whistling kid always strolls by
Whistling kid already knows
Already knows

Play Dead

PLAY DEAD:
Find me some comedy
It's over can't you see
Laughter is gone
You got it all wrong
Become some tragedy
Block to block, street to street
Lines have been drawn
You got it all wrong
I'll play dead better than anybody else
In doubt
Get courageous now
Now
Suddenly a family
Got nervous, got past me
Took nobody along
You got it all wrong
All wrong
All wrong
I'll play dead better than anybody else

Find Me
03:41
|

FIND ME:
Overflow
Undertow
Cut off at the knees
Moving slow
Lost your glow
Thoughts unholy speak
I won't let it find me
Deep dark browns
Turned down now
Nothing here to see
Hear the clouds
Spilling sounds
Listen closely
I won't let it find me
It's always out there creeping in
An arms length and sick with sin
All those hours left awake
To turn and to wish
A dreams release instead.
Overflow
Undertow
Learn to deal with these
Moving slow
Ebb and flow
Thoughts unholy sleep

SEVERED:
Hold my still life
Hope my corner shadows slide
Out of sight
Hold my cold light
Hoax I thought that I could buy
Sever the ties and watch it die
Hold my wide eyed
Hold my only child alive
Sever the ties and watch it die

Cold Air

COLD AIR:
Cold air through he cracks everywhere
Time to move on
Force fed spoonfuls of rotting refusals
I guess I have stayed far too long
Cold air through the cracks everywhere
These winds are strong
Not for my approval
Feel like an intruder
Decade long
Dwindling and gone
And I'm home
Am I home
Am I walking blind
I'm on loan
I'm on loan
I'm keeping the tradition alive
Your loyalty is what they lynch you by
Cold air through the cracks everywhere
Time to move on
Demanded my removal
Signed with my approval
Shattered glass and scattered trash
I'm gone

This Heart Is Tired

THIS HEART IS TIRED:
I am tears
I am joy
I am everything between at once destroyed
Basement screams
Raging fires
I am sounds left unseen and sparking wires
Project again
Now louder
Body slow
Racing heart
Gathering speed or stopped to bleed
And holding to restart
Am I here
Am I free
Just wanting to dream about what's in front of me.
I never seems to keep up with all my hopes and desires
This heart Is tired
Project again
Now louder
I never seems to keep up with all my hopes and desires
This heart Is tired

Grow Away

GROW AWAY:
Limbs all in different directions
They lead you
Fingers were crossed
Your hands were praying
Arms raised but what to
Takes how long it takes and you will be here as you dream awake
Think small
Now think smaller
Not a sound
Floating
Ghostly
What are you now
Takes how long it takes and you will be here as you dream awake
Take your time to grow away
Take your time to grow away
All the day

Unknown

UNKNOWN:
Staring at you over and over
I just can't think of a thing
Pulling you closer and closer to see what that brings
Are you looking over my shoulder
Or buried in a shedded skin
I feel you moving slower and slower on your broken wings
And we will go
Into the unknown
I guess I can do this alone
Things are looking sparse for the poorer
all the empty space to fill in
Seasons growing colder and colder as your window slims
Hiding all the sign for the holder
Waiting for an angle to spin
Now you're feeling caught in a corner and rushed into this
And we will go
Into the unknown
I guess I can do this alone
Bodies unwilling to move
Are sure to end up doomed
And we will go
Into the unknown
I guess I can do this alone
And we will show
What we are made of
I guess I can't do this alone

Pass You By

PASS YOU BY:
Let's go out walking
Under the pale moon
There's something calling you to it's side
Let's go out walking like we used to
It's something small
Don't let it pass you by
Let's go out watching
All that is true
There's something falling from the sky
Let's go out watching
Confetti and balloons
See them float and leave you behind
Let's go out toppling
All those stale moves
Leave them crawling out of time
Let's go out walking Like we used to
It's something small
Don't let it pass you by
