I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name Lifetimes are catching up with me All these changes taking place I wish I'd seen the place, but no one's ever taken me Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away I swear I recognize your breath Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising Me you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate Perhaps that's what no one wants to see I just wanna scream hello My god, it's been so long, never dreamed you'd return But now here you are, and here I am Hearts and thoughts, they fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade |

The waiting drove me mad
You're finally here and I'm a mess I take your entrance back Can't let you roam inside my head I don't want to take what you can give I would rather starve than eat your bread I would rather run but I can't walk Guess I'll lie alone just like before I'll take the firmest path Oh, and I must refuse your test Push me and I will resist This behavior's not unique I don't want to hear from those who know They can buy, but can't put on my clothes I don't want to limp for them to walk Never would have known of me before I don't want to be held in your debt I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed I'm already cut up and half-dead I'll end up alone like I began Everything has chains Absolutely nothing's changed Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture... I don't want to take what you can give I would rather starve than eat your breast All the things that others want for me Can't buy what I want because it's free Can't buy what I want because it's free Can't be what you want because I'm... Ain't supposed to be just one Oh, to live and die, let it be done I figure I'll be damned, all alone like I began It's your move now I thought you were a friend But I guess I... I guess I hate you... |

He could have tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him Alone in a corridor waiting locked out He got up out of there, ran for hundreds of miles He made it to the ocean, had a smoke and tea The wind rose up, set him down on his knee Wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw, Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at him now..." Arms wide open with the sea as his floor Oh ? ah, ohhh... He's - flying! Woah! Flying! Wide! Oh... He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share His key to the locks on the chains, he saw everywhere But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed By faceless men, well...fuckers, he still stands. And he still gives his love, he just gives it away The love he receives is the love that is saved And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky A human being that was given to fly Flying! Woah... High! Flying! Woah... Flying! Woah... Ohh, oahh... |

Light green to green, dark green, brown
Every life is falling down Brown to black, it's coming back Dies to be part of the ground Seed to seedling, root to stem Eyes, no eyes, there's no difference Every life is looking in Swallowing seeds on the deathbed Dig a hole in the garden Everyone is practicing But this world's an accident I was the fool because I thought I thought the world Turns out the world thought me It's all the other way around We're upside down Dad, he's gone up in flames But this ain't no movie This ain't no book you can close When the big lie hits your eye Everyone is practicing Our world's an accident I was the fool because I thought I thought the world Turns out the world thought me It's all the other way 'round We're upside down Down, down, down Let the fluency set it down Down Let the fluency set it down There's an upside of down The moon is rolling 'round our world The moon is rolling 'round our world Our world Our world |

Don't feel like home
He's a little out And all these words alone Is nothing like your poem Putting in, inputting in Don't feel like methadone A scratching voice all alone It's nothing like your baritone It's nothing as it seems The little that he needs, it's home The little that he sees Is nothing he can seize, it's home One uninviting chromosome A blanket like the ozone It's nothing as it seems All that he needs is home The little that he frees Is nothing he believes Saving it for a sunny day Something maybe, two tone Anything of his own A chip off the corner stone Who's kidding? Rainy day A one way ticket headstone An occupation's overthrown A whisper through a megaphone It's nothing as it seems The little that he needs, it's home The little that he sees Is nothing he concedes, it's home And all that he frees A little bittersweet, it's home It's nothing as it seems The little that he sees, it's home |

The selfish, they're all standing in line
Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time Me, I figure as each breath goes by I only own my mind The north is to south what the clock is to time There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life I know I was born and I know that I'll die The in-between is mine I am mine And the feeling, it gets left behind All the innocence lost at one time Significant behind the eyes There's no need to hide We're safe tonight The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying The full moon is looking for friends at high tide The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied I only know my mind I am mine And the meaning, it gets left behind All the innocence lost at one time Significant behind the eyes There's no need to hide We're safe tonight, whoa And the feelings that get left behind All the innocence broken with lies Significance between the lines We may need to hide And the meanings that get left behind All the innocence lost at one time We're all different behind the eyes There's no need to hide |

Is this just another day?
This God forgotten place First comes love, then comes pain Let the games begin Questions rise and answers fall Insurmountable Love boat captain Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear, here It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough Is this just another phase Of earthquakes making waves? Trying to shake the cancer off Aah, stupid human beings Once you hold the hand of love It's all surmountable Hold me and make it the truth That when all is lost, there'll be you 'Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing And there's just one word I still believe And it's love It's an art to live with pain Mix the light into gray Lost nine friends we'll never know Two years ago today And if our lives became too long Would it add to our regret? And the young, they can lose hope 'Cause they can't see beyond today The wisdom that the old can't give away, hey Constant recall Sometimes life don't leave you alone Hold me and make it the truth That when all is lost, there will be you 'Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing And there's just one word that I still believe And it's love, love, love, love, love Love boat captain take the reigns Steer us towards the clear I know it's already been sung Can't be said enough Love is all you need All you need is love, love, love |

Drive down the street can't find the keys to my own fucking home.
I'll take a walk so I could curse my ass for being dumb. I'll make a right, after the arches, stinking grease and bone. Stopped at the supermarket people stare like I'm a dog. I'm going to Lukin's. I've got a spot at Lukin's. I knocked the door at Lukin's. Open the fridge. Now I know life is worth. I found the key but I return to find an open door. Some fucking freak who claims I fathered, by rape, her own son. I find my wife, I call the cops, this days work's never done. The last I heard that freak was purchasing a fucking gun. |

Restless soul, enjoy your youth
Like Muhammad hits the truth Can't escape from the common rule If you hate something, don't you do it, too Small my table, sits just two Got so crowded, I can't make room Oh, where did they come from?... Stormed my room! And you dare say it belongs to you... to you This is not for you This is not for you This is not for you Oh, not for you... ah, you Scream... my friends... don't call me Friends, no, they don't scream My friends don't call... my friends don't... All that's sacred comes from youth Dedication, naive and true With no power, nothing to do I still remember, why don't you? Don't you This is not for you This is not for you This is not for you Oh, never was for you, fuck you This is not for you Oh, this is not for you... yeah, you This is not for you Oh, not for you Oh, you |

I've used hammers made out of wood
I have played games with pieces and rules I've deciphered tricks at the bar But now you're gone I haven't figured out why I've come up with riddles and jokes about war I figured out numbers and what they're for I've understood feelings and I've understood words But how could you be taken away? And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go It don't seem fair, today just disappeared Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar We were but stones, your light made us stars With heavy breath, awakened regrets Back pages and days alone that could have been spent Together, but we were miles apart Every inch between us becomes light years now No time to be void or save up on life Oh, you got to spend it all And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go It don't seem fair, you seemed to like it here Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar We were but stones, your light made us stars And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go It don't seem fair, today just disappeared Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar We were but stones, your light made us stars |

How does he do it? How do they do it? Uncanny and immutable
This is such a happening tailpipe of a party Like sugar, the guests are so refined A confidence man, but why so beleaguered? He's not a leader, he's a Texas leaguer Swinging for the fence, got lucky with a strike Drilling for fear makes the job simple Born on third, thinks he got a triple Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way I remember when you sang That song about today Now it's tomorrow and Everything has changed A think tank of aloof multiplication A nicotine wish and a columbus decanter Retrenchment and hoggishness The aristocrat choir sings "What's the ruckus?" The haves have not a clue The immenseness of suffering And the odd negotiation, a rarity With onion-skin plausibility of life And a keyboard reaffirmation Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way I remember when you sang That song about today Now it's tomorrow and Everything has changed. |

Routine was the theme
He'd wake up, wash and pour himself into uniform Something he hadn't imagined being As the merging traffic passed He found himself staring down At his own hands Not remembering the change Not recalling the plan Was it? He was okay But wondering About wandering Was it age? By consequence? Or was he moved by sleight of hand? Mondays were made to fall Lost on a road he knew by heart It was like a book he read in his sleep Endlessly Sometimes he hid in his radio Watching others pull into their homes While he was drifting On a line Of his own Off the line Off the side By the by As dirt turned to sand As if moved by sleight of hand And when he reached the shore of his clip-on world He resurfaced to the norm Organized his few things, his coat and keys Any new realizations would have to wait Till he had more time More time A time to dream To himself He waves goodbye To himself I'll see you on the other side Another man moved by sleight of hand |
