Are We All Right
03:07
|
|||
the rain invites but all are hiding
they are dividing
it's empty when the night has fallen
secret world is calling
familiar souls are summoned
when we lose ourselves
searching for the secrets
no one ever tells
are we all right (know it all)
are we the light (gonna fall)
are we all right (know it all)
are we the light...
so isolation soon entices
shelter from the vices
giving focus to the meaning
clarify the dreaming
we need the black, we need the white
we need the grey
we need uncertainty to know how we are made
are we all right (know it all)
are we the light (gonna fall)

Treadmill Hollow
04:01
|
|||
I get up to face the world
again and again
hoping to see some change
in the hours ahead
but it's still the same old world
that it's always been
and I'm still the same old me
in the same old skin
earth is a circle, it moves in circles going nowhere
so we vainly follow the treadmill hollow and never swallow
where are we going
it's hard to see
a step is a hundred years
the breath of a tree
seasons, the only change
that we ever see
our time is too short to know
what it all means
earth is a circle, it moves in circles going nowhere
so we vainly follow the treadmill hollow and never swallow

Cinderella Blue

|

for you I would swim down
to the bottom of the sea
if that's what you needed
then that is where I'll be
if a star is what you're after
then a star it shall be
I'll fly into the night sky
and outrun eternity
I'll bring one back for you, cinderella blue
if anything should grieve you
or bring upon you pain
I'll do whatever's needed
to take away the rain
your love is pure and tender
so humble and so true
I could not fathom losing
the days I spend with you
escaping into you, cinderella blue

38 Steps
03:52
|
|||
38 steps to go until the end
but you can't run, you can't run
only misery gets you home again
you know the gun, you know the gun
sandman will take you only for awhile
soon you're returning weeping as you smile
every illusion takes a darker hue
nowhere to hide, nowhere to run from you
38 steps to go but never gaze
up to the sky, to the sky
watchful downward to the dagger rock
the moon that shines, the moon that shines
sandman will take you only for awhile
soon you're returning weeping as you smile
every illusion takes a darker hue
nowhere to hide, nowhere to run from you
38 steps to go until the end
and then it's done, then it's done

Sweet And Low
02:11
|
|||
there is a hole where I put my intuition
out among the hills where I saw my sad condition
where did you go sweet and low, sweet and low
what did I know
something in my brain never was the same
back on the track of a vengeance driven twister
made for the dead and the sedentary sister
where did you go sweet and low, sweet and low
what did I know
something in my brain never was the same

Nowhere Town
02:28
|
|||
river river swift and pure
lead me to a world no more
all my seconds drifting down
counting sky till nowhere town
you don't need to worry bout
what you're with or you're without
give an inch and lose a pound
such is life in nowhere town
no warning so please take heed
there the dying do not bleed
empty faces make no sound
on the road to nowhere town
you don't need to worry bout
what you're with or you're without
give an inch and lose a pound
such is life in nowhere town
shadow water deep and warm
mother's milk and locust storm
past the hill where I'll be found
eternally in nowhere town
you don't need to worry bout
what you're with or you're without
give an inch and lose a pound
such is life in nowhere town
pictures getting smaller still
acclimate diminished will
best to not betray a frown
to the ghosts of nowhere town

Castaway
02:46
|
|||
for what it's worth
I've been to earth
and know of birth
and what's occured
is quite absurd
and yet so blurred
catch the evening wave and off I turn
waiting safely from the fire's burn
and dream of home
that I've never known
lacking power to discern
monsters causing me concern
as the branches 'round me churn
I have the shits
I'm lost in bits
and having fits
what is the sign
that they'd define
as being mine
simulator broken, project crash
help before they turn me into ash
it's not my team
so I send a beam
only nightmares to be dreamed
in this land of blood and cream
waitful I to be redeemed

Fucked Up In The Rain
02:56
|
|||
leave me today, because you will tomorrow
I shall dissolve like the snow in the spring
feeling hurt and confused
and self righteously bruised
leave me here to get fucked up in the rain
don't turn around, remember me standing
and not on the ground like a heaving child
near the end so it seems
drained of hope and esteem
leave me here to get fucked up in the rain
think of me when I was stronger
think of the laughter and fun
think of me some, but not longer
picture my face in the sun
go live your life, don't look back and wonder
I'll be alright, at least one of these days
I'll be doggedly bound
to get up off the ground
until then I'll remain
just a memory stain
filed away in your brain
remote and mundane
while I'm here getting fucked up in the rain

Vanishing Island
06:46
|
|||
I just want to say I'm sorry
for every thing I've done
but why should I be sorry
when I'm not the one on the run
taking the time to find the right line
under the cross, can't live with the loss
of your eyes
curtain closed the womb surrounds
the liquid sun electric in my eyes
nothing here the pathway down is clear
the last of doors is open wide
please don't abandon me
this empty world is too much for me now
you're a vanishing island
and I'm treading water
can't hold out longer please don't go
