Spinning Out Threads

I’m—- forever spinning
Spinning out threads
Spinning out tales
Spinning out time
I’m—- forever spinning [I’m forever spinning]
Spinning out threads
Spinning out tales [Spinning out tales]
Spinning out time [Time]
I’m spinning, twirling
Head turning, whirling, churning
I’m burning up inside
When will my heart decide
Which path of fate will I follow
Pull one thread now, that’s my tomorrow
Spinning, spinning, spinning out threads
Spinning, spinning, spinning out threads
Spinning, spinning, spinning out threads
Spinning, spinning, spinning out threads
I’m tying, up knots
Writing books the world forgot
I'm waiting to find
A present for the blind
If this promised land rings hollow
Another one will arrive tomorrow
Spinning, spinning, spinning out threads
Spinning, spinning, spinning out threads
Spinning, spinning, spinning out threads
Spinning, spinning, spinning out threads
You weave, you cut that golden thread
Mute the noise inside your head
You twist, you twirl the threads around
Spinning and spinning ‘til it all comes unwound
Spinning, spinning, spinning out threads
Spinning, spinning, spinning out threads
Spinning, spinning, spinning out threads
Spinning, spinning, spinning out threads

"Do you think I know how well you've been
Do you really wanna know
Do you know how long I saw it through
I am about to blow
First I take the blame and then the shame
make me go insane, Put me in frame and
let me see your claim
I ain't gonna celebrate, the date
on which I took your bait, I'mma straight up gonna
lose this weight.
I hate
Youuuuu tried to brand your name on my skin, on and on, on and on
Loooose that look from your face or I swear, that I'm gonna, that I'm gonna
Take all you tarnished memories
Make them crawl in front of me
Blaze them in my newfound suu-u-uun
Kill, burn, hate
Decimate
Break your coiling snake, you fake
Reborn
I am reborn
In your choking kiss
In some dark abyss
Reborn
I am reborn
With your hands around my neck
As you push me off the edge
The time we are together
is a life that's spent in hell
Crack that fire, burn it higher
Remove that burning shell
No protection for the weak
am I cursed to go crazy
Fighting all these demons
but I know it's just you and me
Can we really escape
these tattered lines of faith
will you cut them at the end
or stitch the pieces it's too late
Keep your lovers close
as they will cut you down
I need to bleed untill
red is the color of my gown
You didn't grow roses in our garden, only thorns, only thorns
Full of all kind of empty promises, lies you sworn, lies you sworn
Reborn
I am reborn
In your choking kiss
In some dark abyss
Reborn
I am reborn
With your hands around my neck
As you push me off the edge

Spinning round that ol dance floor
Made my heart all dizzy
Still all I want is more
As long as he is with me
Give a nickel to the band
And have them play another
Come on and take my hand
I won't dance with any other
Handsome and sweet as pie
The boy that won me over
I'm the luckiest girl alive
I found my four leaf clover
Give a nickel to the band
And have them play another
Come on and take my hand
I won't dance with any other
Like a needle pulling thread
Together on the dance floor
And If he asks me to wed
I've made up my answer
Give a nickel to the band
And have them play another
Come on and take my hand
I won't dance with any other
Give a nickel to the band
And have them play another
Come on and take my hand
I won't dance with any other

Clipped Wings
03:13
|
|||
|
I feel a phantom pain
Where the wings used to be
I ache for the sky
I long for the sea
Trapped in a cage
As if put on display
As they dangle rewards on a string
But, oh, oh, oh, still I sing
[clipped wings]
Bound in grey cloth
Bound by money and fear
Bound by love
And the respect of my peers
Trapped in a cage
As if put on display
As they dangle rewards on a string
But, oh, oh, oh, still I sing
[clipped wings]
It's not for them
And it's not for me
I am what I am
And I'll always be.....
Trapped in a cage
As if put on display
As they dangle rewards on a string
But, oh, oh, oh, still I sing
[clipped wings]

You said, it all will be OK
Sometimes life just turns this way
Together we're better
You said, i was the only one
pulling on lines from an unravelling sweater
You gave me everything I wanted to hear what I wanted to believe
You made me realize what I saw was only what I had wanted to see.
I was still young enough to believe
in love as something that finds you
I was still young enough to believe
that I couldn't be lied to
My bared skin's gone cold,
From our love riddled with holes
you're the one who'll find himself alone
Cuz it's time to let you go
All I know is
All I know is
All i know is
I don't love you
All I know is
All I know is
All i know is
I don't love you
I said, I think that you're right
Well, At least about that one thing
I know I'm going to be just fine
Now you're the one left wondering
You spent your time dancing round the truth tripping over your feet
You thought you played me like a fool, but look at who is smiling
I was still young enough to believe
in love as something that finds you
I was still young enough to believe
that I couldn't be lied to
Everyday, everyday, i get a little stronger
Everyday, Everyday, I get a little stronger
All I know is
All I know is
All i know is
I don't love you
All I know is
All I know is
All i know is
I don't love you
All I know is
All I know is
All i know is
I don't love you
All I know is
All I know is
All i know is
I don't love you

Shine
04:29
|

|
Every step, every road I roam.
Chasing dreams and making this my own.
In the winding road of life, i'll take
the path less traveled with pride.
If the sun decides to hide,
banished from the sky,
hold my hand it wont be long,
it wont be long.
Determined to stay and we'll face the storm
Theres beauty in the pouring rain.
And when the sun shines again, I'll be with you
to watch your face shine.
In this wild and wonderous world
Each new sunrise brings a brand new page.
Every heartbeat, every breath you take,
A kaleidoscope of possibilities
If the sun decides to hide,
banished from the sky,
hold my hand it wont be long,
it wont be long.
Determined to stay and we'll face the storm
Theres beauty in the pouring rain.
And when the sun shines again, I'll be with you
to watch your face shine.
When we are together, I am someone
I think one day son girl, I'll make you the one
Determined to stay and we'll face the storm
Theres beauty in the pouring rain.
And when the sun shines again, I'll be with you
to watch your face shine.
Determined to stay and we'll face the storm
Theres beauty in the pouring rain.
And when the sun shines again, I'll be with you
to watch your face shine.

We Drink the Evening
04:51
|
|||
|
We drink the evening
in morning light
Yours or mine
Twice entwined
still beside the bed unslept
Unmade and unkept
Unquiet in all this light
We drink the evening
in the afternoon
Beat by the sun
Sweat on our brow
Dirty hands tied
Sweeter now
Than the ones still inside
With no courage for the fight
We drink the evening
Deep in the moon
Arrested in bloom
Of morning glory
And honey suckle
Where once stood a fence
A wall now begins
As new as we are alive

Memory Hole
03:27
|
|||
|
Oh it's gone like it never went on at all
Erase traces, silly mistakes in recall
Black holed
A new leash with unlimited reach and bankroll
I need the fall
But not the self-control
Out of my old shell
I could have any hell
I could have any hellion
God's in the details
I wail "I can't fail" and fall down
Down to a memory
By the way
This has been a really good day
I say my way is a highway
I've got a legal deal, I've got wheels
I've got music to play
Never get too real
Listen, I'm okay
'Cause it's gone like it never went on at all
Erase traces, silly mistakes in recall
Black holed
A new leash with unlimited reach and bankroll
I need the fall
But not the self-control
Wow
What a miracle
I live lie-to-lie
Why
If I never look back and ramble off-track
Out into deep black and never unpack
[Flask:]
(And knock back a six-pack like an attack)
Never look back, never unpack
[x5]
It's gone; never went on at all
No trace; silly mistake is all
It's space; it's a black hole
It's gone like it never went on at all
Erase traces, silly mistakes in recall
Black holed
A new leash with unlimited reach and bankroll
I need the fall
I need the fall
[x2]
[Flask; Simultaneous to last chorus]
(If I never look back, I can sever the past)
(And master myself, every silly mistake I make)
(They look a lot less dire in the light of a new day)
(A ride before the fall)
(Down, down to the deepest memory hole)
(I need the fall)
(I need the fall)

Just a Kiss
03:08
|
|||
|
Think you got me under control,
but I'm feeling a little left out
don't you think I'm able to do what I want
when you are saying all these things that
Don't really seem to make any sense
Why are you not being the man
I thought I met when we were just kids
but now we're growing apart
Don't you think we've had enough of this
It's not something we can fix with just a kiss
It takes time to bring back the trust
But I think I need to understand one thing first
Through the hard times we managed to go
even before we knew we couldn't hang on
Was it all just hoping our love
would hold us till the end when
we both knew that it was there
All the signs were being so very clear
Yet we didn't speak about it
till it was too late for us to try again
Don't you think we've had enough of this
It's not something we can fix with just a kiss
It takes time to bring back the trust
But I think I need to understand one thing first
We wandered into this when we were still so young
From the start I never learned how to be with someone
Things were easy at first but then I was losing control
I didn't want it to end cause I would end up alone
Don't you think we've had enough of this
It's not something we can fix with just a kiss
It takes time to bring back the trust
But I think I need to understand one thing first

Long Gone
04:04
|

|
He grew up poor on Pea Ridge road
In a trailer Park or so I'm told
his ma and pa didn't treat him right
They were fightin mad all day and night
As soon as he could walk he was running straight from home
He was long gone
He was long gone
He barely made it to highschool
he dropped out but he ain't no fool
Running wild in and out of jail
Then the draft letter came in the mail
He gave his Harley to a friend and he kissed his sweetheart goodbye
He was long gone
He was long gone
The army taught him how to be a man
Then they sent him out to Viet Nam
Two tours without an injury
At least not the type that you can see
He went running in and out of that nightmare treeline
He was long gone
He was long gone
Back in the States everything had changed
His whole world was rearranged
Felt like a ghost at home alone
So he hit the road like the buffalo roams
He hitchhiked his way out west until he hit the coast
He was long gone
He was long gone
Drinking by a fire on the beach one night
Tired of everything on his mind
Sick of all the memories he had to keep
He took one last walk into the deep dark sea
Noone ever saw him again and they never will
Cause he's long gone
Yes he's long gone

Hard to Say Goodbye
03:07
|
|||
|
Understanding the illusion
In pursuit of what is true
Open your eyes to the colors around
In moments of silence, your soul makes a sound
And I won't. I won't be held down
Forgotten or left behind
The mask you wear to redefine
It's hard to say goodbye
Holding on to expectations
Losing sight of all that I knew
Open your eyes to the colors around
Take hold of my hand as we touch the ground
And I won't. I won't be held down
Forgotten or left behind
The mask you wear to redefine
It's hard to say goodbye
So take a deep breath
and let the tears go
It’s time to move on
We both already know
Mend the broken wings
And try to fly again
And I won't. I won't be held down
Forgotten or left behind
The mask you wear to redefine
It's hard to say goodbye
And I won't. I won't be held down
Forgotten or left behind
The mask you wear to redefine
It's hard to say goodbye

Oncoming Headlights
04:35
|

|
Wake up bleary eyed
For a moment I forget
Then memories come flooding back
Thoughts filled with regret
Some words can't be taken back
Other words can cause a panic attack
This is where resentment is bred
I wish these things had gone unsaid
Grey walls closing in on me
Haunted by ghosts in my memory
Still too numb inside to feel
10 years gone but I still can't heal
Must escape this bitter mood
I don't want to just sit and brood
The past is past and can't be changed
Perspectives will be rearranged
Clean myself and wash my mind
Hush that voice that's so unkind
I can fix myself again
I will fix myself
It takes work, it's not easy
Oncoming headlights won't freeze me
The road hasn't ended yet
It's never too late to change your mindset
It takes work, it's not easy
Oncoming headlights won't freeze me
I will continue on
This won't be my final song
It takes work, it's not easy
Oncoming headlights won't freeze me
I'll give but I'll also take
I will be the master of my fate
It takes work, it's not easy
Oncoming headlights won't freeze me
I'll take my pain from off the shelf
I will forgive myself
Forgive myself
Forgive myself

Open Mic Night 2
03:31
|
|||
|
Yo yo yo, let's go with the flow,
I'm breaking it down now as we go.
This RPM shit has everyone go crazy
No time to stop and be lazy
Add some fire to it like rip's doing on every song
he wants some more and he likes m young
Bring the boys out so we can make m clap
and I'm not talking about Joe's thrist trap
He wants me to say I like eating that ass
but I know he just wants me to eat Dat ass
And I'm a hungry gal, I need a daddy call me baby doll
Talking about a daddy this track by Jeff makes me ready
and sweaty, thinking about it makes my legs weak as spaghetti
Jeff can blow my trumpet anytime if I had one
and Fresh let me know how you like Dean with the wig on.
I got the keys to the jet
My enemies in check
Bitches pleading for my sex
When my penis is erect
They be screaming I'm the best
Squeezing on their breasts
Got me wheezing heavy breaths
I think I need a covid test
accidentally crashed the Bentley
But whips I got plenty
In your head I'm living rent free
With that bitch shit you can miss me
Turn the opps into mince meat
Get the stick and leave em swiss cheese
I'll dig a ditch six feet deep
Night night sleep tight rest in peace
My dick pics too big they don't fit on an iPad
My shit hits like slick Rick without the eye patch
My rhymes so tight the speed feels like a time lapse
My money so right might do a podcast on finance
I'll pretend you cuban and I'll do you while you call me papi
It's my duty slap that booty eat the coochie hoochie Mami
love it when I nutted but you still suckin sloppy toppy
My bologna pony's lonely so come take a ride on me
Looks like I'm shutting it down again
Open Mic Night 2 and we're vibing
Pushin 85 and I'm driving
Cause I don't mind wasting my gas
If I get a piece of that ass
Cause I know Wizz needs a daddy
She's a baddie, we can smoke a fatty and see where it goes
Looking sexy from her head to her toes
My man Fresh is grindin on that Cuban chick
Said his dick pic wasn't legit, it was shit, he's got a little
iPad, that makes a sad lad look like a chad, it was pretty bad
But we own this rap game, y'all can't deny, we fly sky high, can't beat us if you try
And if you're grooving to this beat, hold onto your seat
Just wait until we drop part 3

THE DAYS BURN SLOW
AS THE RAIN POURS ON
BE WITH ME ALL THE TIME
BREATHE WITH ME ONE MORE SIGH
EVERY SECOND LOST IN TIME
WHEN I WAKE UP
THOUGHTS OF YOU GO
BEATING ACROSS MY MIND
EVERY SECOND, ALL THE TIME
EVERY SECOND, LOST IN TIME
Spend everyday in a dreamlike state
Idly wait for change
I need a break from the same
Vying for a sense of place
THE DAYS BURN SLOW
AS THE RAIN POURS ON
BE WITH ME ALL THE TIME
BREATHE WITH ME ONE MORE SIGH
EVERY SECOND LOST IN TIME

Picking Up The Debris
04:13
|
|||
|
A measure taken to appease
A future written in the breeze
The fates they weave the threads so fine
But I'll resist won't be entwined
Roll out unfold the tapestry
It's just an obstacle that I see
I'll take the path that's right for me
Won't embrace the path that's meant to be
The path looks like it's set from here
Though it seems to be crystal clear
I have my own mountain to climb
I'm not here to wait for marks in time
Defying fate I dare to fly
I will challenge the heavens high
I take the fight I have to try
Don't care that Icarus fell from the sky
Staying strong round after round
But the grip of destiny knows no bounds
Even the stars above decree
The end is of inevitability
Waiting and waiting
For futures to happen to me
Slow dance your last chance
Before we're picking up the debris
I have freedom that will last
Building the blocks of my own past
Don't play with me I'm not a toy
Your plans for me I will destroy
The hope it shone in every fight
Even in the darkest night
But as the days turn into years
The warning signs turn into fears
I try to hide my heavy heart
Though it still tears me apart
In the end what can a mortal do
Against the fates so strong and true
Waiting and waiting
For futures to happen to me
Slow dance your last chance
Before we're picking up the debris
Twisting and twisted
Unwind the knots
Over and Over
Till it all pulls taut
[I've believed and I've prayed](Twisting and twisted)
[All the sacrifices that I made](Unwind the knots)
[For years I've tried to atone ](Over and Over)
[But if they can't be swayed](Till it all pulls taut)
Waiting and waiting
For futures to happen to me
Slow dance your last chance
Before we're picking up the debris

Verse (0:22)
Driving all the dead end roads
Passed churches, abandoned homes
The night scored by the radio
Playing Marry me, Archie
(0:33)
Hashin' politics and God
Music and nothing at all
Then to finding better jobs
And moving to the city
(0:45)
I'd miss you like cigarettes
You're the thing I can not quit
I need you near my lips
I've felt it all along
(0:56)
Just like that summer nights
Lit up by the dashboard lights
Yeah we could have gone inside
But we Just talked till dawn
Chorus
1:07
Staying up all night
To watch the sunrise
And the water catch fire
Oh, I see it in your eyes
1:19
Staying up all night
To watch the sunrise
And the water catch fire
Oh, I see it in your eyes
Verse 2
1:41
You hold me like some precious thing
Like the song the robin sings
When it feels the breath of spring
Oh I have to let it out
1:52
Of all the time we shared
All the words left in the air
I've never been so prepared
I never had any doubts
Chorus
2:04
Staying up all night
To watch the sunrise
And the water catch fire
Oh, I see it in your eyes
2:15
Staying up all night
To watch the sunrise
And the water catch fire
Oh, I see it in your eyes
Bridge
2:26
It would be different
If I could do it all again
I'd find you sooner
Wouldn't wait so long to begin
Final Chorus
Staying up all night
To watch the sunrise
And the water catch fire
Oh, I see it in your eyes
Staying up all night
To watch the sunrise
And the water catch fire
Oh, I see it in your eyes
Staying up all night
To watch the sunrise
And the water catch fire
Oh, I see it in your eyes
Staying up all night
To watch the sunrise
And the water catch fire
Oh, I see it in your eyes

Wake. Late. Flight today.
Wait. Oh right. Shampoo stays.
Brush face. Wash teeth.
Brown bean go beep beep.
I could use more sleep is for the weak.
Got a plan to keep.
Paving. Another obstacle. Finding a new route.
Saving 1 minute on a road I wouldn't have found.
A decent line winds around my tired, wired body.
I knew I'd feel shoddy, but I'm kind of glad I skipped the caffeine.
Top of queue in the ballyhoo.
Allons y. And I'm free, wheeling on the concrete concourse.
Of course I have to leave my slightly-too-big shampoo bottle.
It's a little lug, but soon I'm snug in seat 7A.
Hey, I made it okay. That's me sat in 7[C/see] the sea below my sleep.
I hear the music [wake me/take me ] to another sky
I just found the song, the album, and the band on Spotify
[7B is buffer between me and everything/7B, lean on me if you need]
And I'm blissfully behind my buds amid the melody
Oh, solo and serene
The same song ends, and starts again, for the seventh time now
But lucky we, the runway screeches into number eight anyway
I hate when mood is interrupted by the sirens of real life
Despite my silent protest
We depart the sky
On the ground. Look around. Try to spot my AWOL driver.
I knew I'd survive, but now I must dive into a spot of bothersome work.
Work. Calling me. I just landed, literally.
I know. I'll go. The road again.
[I can return to the same song. On and on. The same song isn't long enough to-/
The road again. It never ends.]
Fake away the lonesome everyday.
My song diminishes.

It's been a cold grey Sunday,
Too dark for it's name
I'm just looking for something
to chase away the rain
Politics and antiheros
Another shooting on the news
All this negative emotion
Just affects my mood
All you hear is bad news
All you see is a fight
You got your echo chamber
I got mine (mine mine mine)
I go down to the corner
A man is singing the blues
For a couple dollars
He'll cure yours too
When I get low
oh oh
When I get low
I get high
When I get low
oh oh
When I get low
I get high
What do you call an artist
Who doesn't have a muse?
What do you call a lover
With noone to lose?
I fell hard for the wrong ones
While the good ones got away
My heart gets so bent up
But it still it won't break
When I get low
oh oh
When I get low
I get high
When I get low
oh oh
When I get low
I get high
I could have been a singer
If I had another voice
I coulda sounded like Elvis
If I had the choice (uh huh)
No use to get down about it
Gotta play the cards I'm dealt
As long as I've got my friends
I can call in some help
When I get low
oh oh
When I get low
I get high
When I get low
oh oh
When I get low
I get high

Grown all alone now stern as stone
I hear your silent symphony
Caressing your concerns into a chorus
I beckon you to hear my empathymnody
A deaf defiant ear I need nowhere be near
A captain with no sense of where to end
All I want now is my dear friend
Join the dance for the chance to sway,
Along with the wave’s blissful swirl
Today, tomorrow, we will always stay
Even if it’s only for a day
Arm in arm, we show our bond through song
Our harmony over this charming sea,
My burning embers, your cresting waves,
We deliver a flowing steam that simmers free
Winds will gust and rain will fall
Friends will adjust and sail through all
This daring venture will not stall
Through every frown or brawl
Even when we’re down
We will crawl
Join the dance for the chance to sway,
Along with the wave’s blissful swirl
Today, tomorrow, we will always stay
Even if it’s only for a day
A crew of two facing what tomorrow sends,
The chorus concludes, the journey near its end
Our dream coming true, side by side, all with you
Through wind and tide with my dear friend

Melomania

Drama, at the cocktail show
Your ex husbands back from the grave with an awful green glow
He's back with frankie and the boys
German expletives, danke, white noise
Bringing the roof down, burning the whole town
Feet as fast as frowns flipping upside down
A case of a melomania I'll be your pretty thing
Move your feet to the groove of the 30th century swing
hold me to your chest I'll tie you in knots
And if you wanna stay then I'll mark you with a dot
Show me the high life take me dancing tonight
All you boys in petticoats with little overbites
Show me the high life take me dancing tonight
All you boys are so dumb but thats the kind I like
A case of a melomania I'll be your pretty thing
Move your feet to the groove of the 30th century swing
hold me to your chest I'll tie you in knots
And if you wanna stay then I'll mark you with a dot
Show me the high life take me dancing tonight

Shepard's Song

Red sky at night, the shepherds will be pleased
Care for the flock, and cut out the diseased
Look deep inside, figure out what you seek
I'm wide awake, while I watch you as you sleep
If you still want me, I'll be smashing down your door
And if you still need me, I'll give you nothing much at all
And if you still love me, I'll be your sacred whore
And if you still hate me, I'll still move at your beck and call
Blue sky come morn, the dead are listening
The birds take flight, as the clouds hide everything
We walk alone, telling tales to the wind
Just keep the faith, and pray God hasn't sinned
If you still want me, I'll be smashing down your door
And if you still need me, I'll give you nothing much at all
And if you still love me, I'll be your sacred whore
And if you still hate me, I'll still move at your beck and call
If you still want me, I'll be smashing down your door
And if you still need me, I'll give you nothing much at all
And if you still love me, I'll be your sacred whore
And if you still hate me, I'll still move at your beck and call

aStep through the looking glass
Come join me in the sand
We can dance in the starlight
And leave together hand in hand
The whole world changed when I saw your face
It's like time stopped and my past got erased
If the fates dictate everything we do
Then I thank them for my meeting you
Our future is beyond our sight
The only thing we can decide is what we do tonight
Step through the sliding doors
I can barely stand
We used to dance in the starlight
Until it all slipped through my hands
The whole world changed when you moved so far away
I'll see you again some day
I'll see you again some day
I'll see you again some day
I'll see you again some day
The moon shines in two separate skies
United by it's ghostly hue
One choice can change everything
I will make my way to you
We'll meet again, destiny fills the air
We'll keep on walking but we'll go no where
If the fates dictate everything we do
Then I thank them for my meeting you
Our future is beyond our sight
The only thing we can decide is what we do tonight

Runaway
06:02
|

I was walking down the backroads
Neath the glow of California stars
The pink haze of san Fransisco
Masked the blues of your guitar
You said I'm pulled by the lights baby
Like a dog thats chasing cars
You were aiming for LA
But you never got that far
And I watched the waves roll in, as they washed away our castle
And now there's just the wind, blowing away what was so fragile
Maybe these stories weren't meant for us
Maybe I should have left you on that bus
Maybe I never should have asked
Maybe the brakes weren't fast enough
Maybe I chose you a bit too much
Maybe these things weren't built to last
I should have seen it going
Sour milk in coffee water
Guess we could have made it stronger
But we were runnin through the time
I watched the stains begin, blotting us out of the picture
We wore the film far too thin, cause we could never make it bigger
Maybe these dreams weren't meant for us
Maybe I should have left you on that bus
Maybe I never should have asked
Maybe the brakes weren't fast enough
Maybe I chose you a bit too much
Maybe these things weren't built to last
You left our keys on the bathroom counter
Next to the razor that you hardly used
And the trail of soapy water, couldn't have run any farther
Washing away the bits of frayed rope that was dragging me with you.
Now I see the signs
We gotta stop, lookin' back wonderin'
Leave it all behind
Like you, I'm gonna keep on wanderin'
ohhhhhh
You were my run run run run away
ohhhhhh
My run run run run runaway
Run run run run runaway
run run run run runaway
run run run run runaway
gonna be a run run runaway...

A Truth You Already Know
02:51
|
|||

It's funny how life plays out
Did you ever doubt
That it would work out in the end
It's funny how things can change
It all gets rearranged
Just when you made your master plan
Trust when you fall, He'll catch you
Cause it's all you can do
Don't let your dreams decide
Your waking life
Isn't going as planned
Don't get so twisted and tied
Wrapped up in your mind
When so much is out of your hands
It's funny how things stay put
Even when they should
Just go with the flow
It's funny how things you knew
Tried to hide the truth
But you already know
Trust when you fall, He'll catch you
Cause it's all you can do
Don't let your dreams decide
Your waking life
Isn't going as planned
Don't get so twisted and tied
Wrapped up in your mind
When so much is out of your hands
Come and see what fate has in mind for you

I chose a day
I rose, in a
golden haze,
folding maze
holding on, i'm right in phase
Picnic blanket, handkerchief
a postal stamp, a maple leaf
circling way up far above
the clouds caress me like a glove
they rest their trembling hands upon
the love that never lasts, the fleeting
song
of summer holidays
the song
the golden haze
Saw yourself inside the lake
In a rocking chair
TV on, but not awake
You missed your evening prayer
(sealeau)
when the thousand days of waiting
(Après 1000 jours d'attente)
come to an end
(enfin, au crépuscule)
what will you remember
(souviens toi, de cet été)
of your dearest friend
( nos silhouettes minuscules)
sur la mince faille de l'horizon
dans une élégante déraison
vibrant comme le dada dans un grand collage
l'air lointain dans un blanc mirage
hallucination
estivale (répété de multiples fois)***

I'll bend down and pull my cheeks apart
The target is clear gonna shart on your heart
I try to hold it in but I cant
Did a shit on your mom took a piss on your aunt
I got your wife's titties all shitty
My loose juicy deuce made her chest pretty
And if you think that's bad
I couldn't poop no more so I fucked your dad
[Good]
a little dookie on the derriere?
bro, you think this cherry cares?
I been fuckin butts and busting nuts since i was old enough
to ride the bus to granny's house
to take a shit in grampa's lunch.
I'm uppercutting guts, I'm going deep in sluts
I'm kissing on your girl where she takes monster dumps
yo I’m nasty
(hit ‘em again, Fresh)
[Fresh]
Im droppin turds on your sternum
Ruin your shirts you gotta burn em
You got chest hair like the bee gees
Imma get it messy with some mother fuckin fesces
Yo this chest shittins gettin pretty lame
I'mma switch up the whole chest shittin game
When upper body potties start feeling wack
I'll flip your ass over take a crap on your back
[Good]
I'm sipping gas,
suckin farts out of your daddy's ass
acting brash like I ain't never passed a math class
smoking hash out of a butt
slurpin up that purp
like Silvester, I'm suffering for succotash
bro I'm wild, getting high off of my own supply
bend in half and suck the farts out of my own behind
(hit ‘em)
[Fresh]
Shittin like that rich bitch Vince McMahon
Do the splits when I shit like jean Claude van damn
My turds might hurt or kill you sir
farts hit hard like auto tuned kilazur
Fart in your face you'll be like what was that for
Break into your car and take a dump on your dash board
do a wicked poop in your chicken noodle soup
Dookie boys are your new favorite music group
Mama Mia Pappa pia
Baby got the diarrhea

I Should Have Known

And I should have known
And I never will
Cause I can't control
How my heart feels
WHen everything beautiful falls away
When I'm left without the words to say
what we knew by heart so long ago
The familiar feels dangerous take it slow
And I should have known
And I never will
Cause I can't control
How my heart feels
I feel your fingertips as they slip away
Wrapped up in promisses bound to break
I never would and I never will
Hurt you again
And I should have known
And I never will
Cause I can't control
How my heart feels
And I should have known
And I never will
Cause I can't control
How my heart feels

Last Train to Corinth
03:46
|
|||
|
I've danced with death and I've played dice with his bones
I've taken long walks in forests where the lions may roam
Im on the last train to corinth but im not going home
The story fits together but i rewrote the prose
You built them out of marble
Now (knock it down)
You build them out of clay
Now (knock it down)
You paint it on a canvas
Now (black it out)
You grew a hanging tree
Now (cut it down)
I've been the hangman I've been hanging by the rope
I've dammed rivers I've built bridges I've built cites outa snow
I'm on the last train to corinth but won't be dragged below
I'll tear out your chapter and replace it with my own
You built them out of marble
Now (knock it down)
You build them out of clay
Now (knock it down)
You paint it on a canvas
Now (black it out)
You grew a hanging tree
Now (cut it down)
Inside it's warm and cozy
Like you've settled in
Outside the motors running
Ready to start it all again
I finally realized that
All our best laid plans
Are nothing but promises
And Castles made of sand
You built them out of marble
Now (knock it down)
You build them out of clay
Now (knock it down)
You paint it on a canvas
Now (black it out)
You grew a hanging tree
Now (cut it down)
You built them out of marble
Now (knock it down)
You build them out of clay
Now (knock it down)
You paint it on a canvas
Now (black it out)
You grew a hanging tree
Now (cut it down)

The Scythe
03:56

Wait for life in line
The knife, the scythe in mind
Kind of a big idea
Someone call a doctor
Press play, the end is nigh
The tape-p-p you can't rewind
I'm at the final reel
Fix the bad projection
Do the deed
I don't want to waste my time ignoring
All of the signs I've been avoiding
In my faux reveries
Oh yeah
What I need
Is a bit of lethal intervention
Occupy the eye of fate's attention for one night
(SHARP, RHYTHMIC BREATHS)
Can't forget to breathe
Though my heart is cleaved out onto me
I feel a trifle fear
Hear the palpitation
(TRYING TO CATCH BREATH, RHYTHMICALLY)
Do the deed
I don't want to waste my time ignoring
All of the signs I've been avoiding
In my faux reveries
Oh yeah
What I need
Is a bit of lethal intervention
Occupy the eye of fate's attention just one night
(FINAL GASPS)
The end is in sight
Do the deed
I don't want to waste my time ignoring
All of the signs I've been avoiding
In these faux reveries
Oh, what I need
Is a bit of lethal intervention
Occupy the eye of fate's attention for one night

The petals are swirling in the wind
They pass me and bring memories
You're the one I remember
Can we align the pieces together
They lie on cold stone forever
Reflect the light tonight in the water
"Ocean sounds awake my mind
clearing the road ahead for me
Don't need to speculate
Water doesn't bend to our will
I only reach the surface
if I let myself float along"
There's a palace deep within
Where we reflect upon our dreams
Aurated, lush and peaceful
Where brass and marble sheen
I feel each petal fall
As they pass through my hands
As I count each one go
And the pond ripples slow
Picking through the pieces
As the full moon glows
There's a trail between the trees
In and out and in it weaves
Winding up the mountain side
Guiding us through the forestry
As trees dampen by rainfall
The spirits bloom so tall
If I arrange the pieces
Will it bring the balance back
If the oceans calm
Will the ballasts collapse?

Like a needle pulling thread
Together on the dance floor
And If he asks me to wed
I've made up my answer
Give a nickel to the band
And have them play another
Come on and take my hand
I won't dance with any other
Give a nickel to the band
And have them play another
Come on and take my hand
I won't dance with any other

Patricide
03:28
|

|
Fall off the face of the earth
wipe off the trace of your birth
A thousand years you've
Wasted
Wasted
A thousand years, on me
Crawl to a space you know well
Place where you last fell
The patricide
You desecrate
The holy land
That's your fate
The darkest side
The darkest soul
You're comin up
That's who you are
The patricide
You desecrate
The holy land
That's your fate
The darkest side
The darkest soul
Rising up
That's who you are
Call off your hounds
in a rage
wipe my debts off the page
the patricide
the endless tide
your rising fate
can't be denied

There's a rope creeping up your neck
Woven tight to his whims subject
Take a minute to count your to breaths
Someone's a liar about what comes next
So here I am, the fall of man
The outcome of your master plan
I thought you played 8 moves ahead
But you never even gave a damn
The gods don't care about what is just
They'll sully your soul just to quench their lust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
And the weak will suffer what they must
So here I am, the fall of man
The outcome of your master plan
I thought you played 12 moves ahead
But you never even gave a damn
No Saviours
Just dead stars
And the thread that you're left hanging by
So whats left
Flowers Bereft
Of all that shows a clear sign of life
There's no clear signs of life
Are you suprised?
Nope...
(2:42)
Birth and Life and Death - the cosmic glue
These 3 things are as certain as the sky is blue
They keeps us in line so we can't pass through
The Trifecta that we're all chained to
So here I am, the fall of man
The outcome of your master plan
I thought you played 100 moves ahead
But you never even gave a damn
No Saviours
Just dead stars
And the thread that you're left hanging by
So whats left
Flowers Bereft
Of all that shows a clear sign of life
There's no clear signs of life
Are you suprised?
No

Check out the spiral on your shell
Run your fingers down, you know it well
Mikey was his name, I loved him so
But then I had, I had to go
Overseas to the grey
When I’m gone, I can’t say
Mikey, I love you
Mikey, forever
Mikey, I love you, forever
Your little teeth are just so cute
Together we will have a hoot
Fluffy, my gerbil friend was not a mouse
He ate a whole red plastic house
It was there when we went to bed
In the morning we found no house instead
Fluffy, I love you
Fluffy, forever
Fluffy, I love you, forever

When cold wind blows off lake Michigan
It's your warm embrace that I miss again
Late nights and your tired eyes
My stubborn lies came as no surprise
A show off with nothing to show for
A passenger with no one to chauffeur
I wanna drive you out of my brain
Burn your name so you're just an old flame
I drove you away
with all my carrying on
You went your way
and you won't bring me along
I'm all over the place
Barely hanging on
You went your way
And you won't bring me along
My family they try to scam me
So I went down to South Miami
way too much cocaine up my nose
I tucked my tail and came back home
Go west young man my uncle told me
I'll escape you in the van he sold me
Now I'm broke in southern California
Homeless and still yearnin for ya
That's a solid two verses I think
Some roads start
With broken hearts
A blue moon shines
On Kentucky tonight
I'm done runnin away
I'll keep carryin on
Doing things my way
And I'm still going strong
I'm better these days
I don't need to belong
Doing things my way
And I'm still going strong

Unfinished

I used to wake up dreaming
Now my eyes are gleaming
When I go to sleep
‘Cause I’m in so deep
And there’s nothing I can do
I am running daily
Hoping this time maybe
I will find some peace
Do the things I please
Without feeling like a fool
It is time I’m needing
So I end up pleading
Give me hours, days
There must be other ways
Than living life like this
Because I’m always tired
And I’m just not wired
To see life pass by
Stand to the side
When there’s so much that I miss
I wish I knew just
What the hell I’m doing wrong
Tell me, what would you choose
When you know time is a game you will always lose,
(Always lose)
Tell me, what would you do
When you know time is always a beat ahead of you,
(‘Head of you)
We’re given threads of life, but
No one knows when they’re cut
We’re on borrowed time
It was never mine
And it was never yours at all
And there’s so much to do
In the hours we accrue
But it’s hard to know
Which way to go
When all we do is stall…
We stall, we fall
In line, in place
In time, we face
Our call, our call
I still don’t know
Just what the hell
I’m doing wrong
Tell me, what would you choose
When you know time is a game you will always lose
(Always lose)
Tell me, what do you do
When you know time is always a beat ahead of you,
(‘Head of you)
(Tell me what would you, tell me what would you choose?)
(Tell me what would you, tell me what would you choose?)
Tell me, what would you choose
Would you waste all of the moments that,
We could use, (we could use)
(Tell me what would you, tell me what would you choose?)
(what would you choose?)
Tell me, what do you do
When you know time is always a beat ahead of you,
(‘Head of you)

Every time I Sing
04:33

Sitting on the front porch
Feeling out of tune
Singing a little song
I must have learned from you
Something from so long ago
I can't remember when
But it's always at the ready
When I need a friend
Chorus:
And I still hear your voice
Everytime I sing
We may be far apart
But it brings you back to me
We've both grow older
And so many things have changed
But your place in my heart
It always stays the same, Will always stay the same, It always stays the same, Forever stays the same.
Walk on down to the fishing hole
the way we used to do
Grab the rods and reels
Try and catch a trout or two
When I'd get a nibble
you'd act like it was a whale
Laughing through the smoke rings
and spinning tall tails
chorus
Well those fish ain’t biting today
For my son and I
But we're out here acting like
its the time of our lives
Just skipping stones
and shooting at the breeze
Those songs I learned from you
Well he's learning them from me
chorus

The Inevitable
15:21
|

|
I guess this is the end
Now please cut the thread
Let me pass the gates of Hades
To join the other dead
Let me have been someone
Convince me it's true
Whatever I've done
My part is through
Oh, I wish I knew
This emptyness I feel
After reaching the end
What part of it was real
Sound and setbacks
Highs, lows, and obstacles
Was it worth so much work
To make them feel
Healing time is revealing that I'll be fine
I'm entwined to the ride, even in dark
Part of me will survive
I didn't think that this would be the end
So many projects left undone
I'm sure we made a thousand mistakes
But boy, didn't we have fun
Boy, we sure had fun
The ride is over, everybody off
Why does it always feel too soon
It's time for us, to whisper our goodbyes
Under the light of our last cold moon
So put your feet up, rest your weary head
Lift a glass to a job well done
We won't even see those mistakes
'cause boy, didn't we have fun
Boy, we sure had fun
Different than yesterday, yet still the same
We'll bear no fame
Remember the strides we made, the thrilling blade
On which's edge we strayed
Windows down push the gas
There's a fire burning in the grass
Despite it all we're not alone
Even though we're far from home
We twist our way through the stars
Crossing breaths until they're knotted
And pulled back apart
We watch them break, and light the sparks
Burning so we're not forgotten
Watching shooting stars
And counting cars
As the world keeps spinning
The writing is on the wall
And most of all
It leads back to the beginning
And when I sleep
I don't dream
I'm alone
And where the darkness leads
Oh it brings
Me home
There's something so familiar
I've walked these shores before
The waters cold and empty
Calling to me more and more
Holy places I remember
All the places that we'd meet
Where we'd linger the longest
Between the sand and sea
No more comfort here
In salty morning air
I was dying to be carried on a wave
Oh, The dream washed away
