01. BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES…
Look out of the window
What is passing you by.
If you really want this bad enough.
You’re young and good looking
The keys to the kingdom.
Sooner or later
And before your very eyes
Old soul on young shoulders.
How you’ll look when you’re older.
Times’ fickle card game with you and I.
You have to take your chances,
The book of forgiveness.
Sooner or later
And before your very eyes
02. DEFAULT
It slipped my mind,
and for a time
I felt completely free.
A word of trouble.
Silent double.
A pawn unto a queen.
I laugh now
but later’s not so easy.
I gotta stop,
the will is strong but the flesh is weak.
I guess that’s it,
I’ve made my bed and i lie in it.
I’me still hanging on.
Bird upon a wire.
I fall between the waves.
I avoid your gaze.
I turn out of phase.
A pawn unto a queen.
I laugh now
but later’s not so easy.
I gotta stop,
the will is strong but the flesh is weak.
I guess that’s it,
I’ve made my bed and i lie in it.
But it’s eating me up
It’s eating me up
It’s eating me up
If i get free of all my snares and my nets…
03. INGENUE
You know like the back of your hand
who let em in.
You got me into this mess so
you get me out.
You know like the back of your hand.
Your bell jar.
Your collection.
Ingenue.
You get me into this mess.
Fools rushing in, yeah,
and they know it.
The seeds of the dandelion you know blow away.
In good time, i hope, i pray.
If i’m not there now physically,
i’m always before you
come what may.
And you know it.
Fools rushing in
yeah
well you know it.
who let them in?
yeah
well you know it
gone with a touch of your hand
gone with a touch of your hand
move through the moment
though it betrays
transformations
jackals and flames
if i knew now
what i knew then
just give me more time
i hope and pray
i mistake all you say
the seeds of the dandelion you blow away
04. DROPPED
it slipped
out
of my hands
went deep down
wandering
stumbling
i don’t wanna start
don’t want to start
when i got your heart
i got your heart
it slipped down
out
of my hands
and flipped
out
went wandering
stumbling
and i fell apart
i fell apart
05. UNLESS
…care a less
i couldn’t care a less
care a less
i couldn’t care a less
care a less
i couldn’t care a less
such a mess
i know it’s useless
i couldn’t care a less
care a less
i couldn’t care a less
while my heart keeps returning
i am lost
i am weightless
with my arms by my side
i am hope
i can break this
i am rust
i am waiting
i am here
i am weightless
i am rust
rust
rust
rust
rust
care a less
i couldn’t care a less
care a less
i know it’s useless
i couldn’t care a less
care a less
i know it’s useless
couldn’t care a less
care a less
i know it’s you i guess
couldn’t care a less
06. STUCK TOGETHER PIECES
Our stuck together pieces
The joke is i don’t need this
You can hardly tell the difference
Well i know but i don’t care
Grown up together pieces
Our stuck together pieces
A loada near misses
Aw shucks you got me
You can have anything that you want
Except the thing you really want
Go back to where you came from
Go back to what you know
Our stuck together pieces
Our stuck together pieces
Our stuck together pieces
Our stuck together pieces
Why be rain when you could be sun?
Why tie yourself to anyone?
Why be here when you’d somewhere else?
Well i know but i don’t care
You don’t get away
You don’t get away so easily
Mirror mirror still the prettiest
To all points of the compass
Just tell us where the money is
On stuck together pieces
And a loada misses
And a loada misses
Well i don’t want any trouble
But my brain is in a tangle
You don’t get away
You don’t get away so easily..
07. JUDGE JURY AND EXECUTIONER
Don’t worry baby
It goes right through me
I’m like the wind and my anger will disperse
Thin persecutors
Thin twisted vespers
A horned reptile that has crawled upon the earth
I went for my usual walk
I tell like it is tell like was
Judge and Jury
Executioner
Judge and Jury
Executioner
And darkness follows
No tomorrows
It’s all been decided
All spiced and scented
All bouncing voices down the echo chamber
“If you come to me tonight
I’ll be yours for good……”
I went for my usual walk
I went around the block I just can’t talk
or reason with my
Executioner
Judge and Jury
Executioner
Thin waist betrayers
Who talk in layers
I went for my usual walk
I tell like it is tell like it was
Judge and Jury
Executioner
Judge and Jury
Executioner
Don’t worry baby
It goes right through me
I’m like the wind and my anger will disperse
08. REVERSE RUNNING
I’m reverse running.
It doesn’t mean anything.
Hurling headlong.
Why would you even ask?
I’ve forgotten who i am.
Snakes uncoiling.
Pressed up to the glass.
All the things that you shouldn’t ask.
But you see through me.
It doesn’t mean anything.
a meaningless plaything.
Reverse running.
Running contrary-ways.
Pulling off the anyways.
I’m messing up.
Messing up the balance.
Breaking my trajectory.
All the toys in the factory.
While you all lie down.
While you all lie down.
I’m skipping back through the tapes.
Skipping through the ad breaks.
God in heaven!
It makes me feel energized!
All else is sanitized.
And with such joy.
Running contrary-ways.
Pulling off the anyways.
I jump back around.
I’m reversing.
I’m reverse running.
I fall under the horses feet.
All the things that I shouldn’t see.
Animal or Bird.
Animal or Bird.
Moving in slow motion.
This shit is gonna mess me up
09. AMOK
A penny for your thoughts my love
A swinging door
A penny for your thoughts
They try to jump me
A penny for you thoughts my love
They’re spaghetti
They possess me
I’m trying to be a thought killer
They come back to bite me
A penny for you thoughts my love
They court disaster
I’m trying to be a thought killer
A penny for you thoughts my love
You’ll forget me
I’m trying to be a thought killer
A penny for you thoughts
They distract me
A penny for you thoughts my love
I’m sending out choirs of angels
Trying round pieces of string
To run amok run amok ran amok
To run amok
You got me you got me
Back to bite me
A penny for your thoughts.
