As We Became Birds...
02:35
|
|||
None were aware I was hiding every tone
Now I’ve cornered myself; I exist all alone
Slowly passing time…
There’ve been certain ghosts at the foot of my bed
Glaring me down cursing excuses I defend
Taking on this burden of guilt…
Wary of all I’ve built
But I’ll get by… I get by.
Is there anything I could do to make amends;
Any single thing to see us through to the end?
I’ll be bathing in the cold again
‘Cause she doesn’t feel me anymore
But Ill get by… I get by.
We’ll get by
I will pull through (x2)
Life’s been shaky, but
I will pull through.

Crawling
03:38
|
|||
Panned out safely; touches divine.
Senses fading: leaves me purblind
I’ll be crawling (x2)
I’ll be…
Blue-eyed baby: words entwined
Couldn’t steady these knees of mine
I’ll come crawling (x2)
I’ll come…
Commendation when I get it right
A tremble starts: approaching sight
I’ll keep crawling (x2)
I’ll keep…
Stances fading, ‘cause I see your light a-blazing
I’m still falling
I’ll keep falling
…all in.
‘Cause as you turn me around:
Feet off the ground by a mile
A soul & heart share time
All it took was a single smile

Alison
04:36
|

Pleased to meet all your friends, Alison
They’re the ones who won’t, for a time, leave my head
Please can I taste all your girls, Alison?
They’re the thoughts that loom over my bed
Seems to me what they’ve been doing is right
I have to admit I’m a bit unfit, Alison
Oh every inch content in leading the way
“Take our hands: don’t feel shy, modest son”
Such an honour knowing I’m worth the weight.
The risk seemed fierce & uncommonly wrong
With masses singing the same old song
We’ve risen with a hardy force
Pulling me down just to stay on course
Hey, I’m okay, ‘cause I know you’re too
I’m pretty damn great from you pulling’ it through
So god damn straight…. we’re baring just fine
Seems to me what’ve been doing is right
We’ve risen with a hardy force
Pulling me down just to stay on course
Hey, I’m okay, ‘cause I know you’re too
I’m pretty damn great from you pulling’ it through
Girls, stand in line… I’m so… (fuck!)

Here We'll Be
04:40
|
|||
To condescend: folk bring me down
This world I’ve made feeds me ground
It’s here I breathe and retire
I bend my mind and subside
To play atop my own desires
They fuel a birth I refuse to deny
A cradle of starlight
It’s here I breathe and retire
For days can I
Wander the skies
And not fall down
And not come down
A place so real it challenges
Mass appeal. Could I care less!
All its gifts; my visionary friend
It’s here we’ll be and pretend
For days can I
Wander the skies
And not fall down
And not come down

They Finally Herd Us
05:11
|

He figured out that all he sees match the voices in his ears
Hardly one moment of silence that barely calms his fear
His attempt at trying to show us all how this is significantly
better than us… bigger than us… better than us… but they won’t see
Ideals that prove their points
Never account for what he’s seen
Profound thoughts; worded thoughts…
Pale compared to where’s he’s been
How long? How long? ’Til a belief in what’s concealed
How long? How long? Palpable, but never real
“Astonishing, but not convinced (x2)
Staggering: this plot you’ve built
Staggering, but none are in”
Why is it so hard to believe?
Grant them your hands… they were meant to lead.
They won’t steal the seas from us,
Leaving us dry amidst the dust
And they won’t blot the sun out,
Casting a shade forever bound.
Let ‘em herd us

Annual Paean
03:07
|
|||
Alas, another one escaped this year
Another tempest crept up from the rear
These pending stems are all that remained
Absent of what they once contained
Annually, punctually adhered
To a bane occasionally feared
Admittedly, I fell prey once again
To the sirens’ psalms of dismay
Tunnel aim narrowed a trust
Will is a must; I’ve failed to attain.

Dulcinea
05:02
|
|||
Waiting… I keep waiting But it never comes…
No it never comes
“Maybe.” It’s always “maybe” No she’s never sure.
Unsure furthermore
Forces of nature can’t even make her budge;
She’s been robbed of trust.
Sleeping: she keeps dreaming
Of the things they’ve done… her pride for their hollow fun.
Belle, I’m on your side
Even I can’t fathom why
Grace so pure murdered & defiled
But you’re not alone
Concealed in corners hoping not to be seen
Everyone dismiss her being.
Cringing & waning Fighting hands that reach out to understand
Belle, I’m on your side
Even I can’t fathom why
Grace so pure murdered & defiled
But you’re not alone
No, you’re not alone
How long will we praise the past?
Common sense we altogether lack
Like fools we’ve set them on a path
What if they… they never come back?

All Hail, Backslider!
04:00
|
|||
You’re not fleeing so fast Eluding morals you’ve maimed
If you had face to save There’s be no need for masks
Patting yourself on the back Keeping us grounded at feet
The almighty breaker: Boasting his power plaques
I’m not giving a way (x2)
I’m not giving you a way ((x2)
How long? how long should we keep waiting?
Stubborn… ignore… how long?
Take 5, oh actor! Dumb mistakes repeating
Hubris; a failure… Looped for life… a lone song
I’ve noticed how you’ve
Dragged our names with cons anew
Aha… it’s cool! They see what you’re up to
Aha… they’e learned your games and how you seduce
When will you learn
It’s your own despair that you churn
How does it matter to you if I’m moving ahead?
Yeah I’m calling you out!
When will any of us be less than a threat?
‘Cause you’re always cloaked in ego and doubt.

Something New
03:20
|
|||
Wake up Sunday morning:
I’m still pining over you
A glorious fix of caffeine…
Yeah I think I’ll get myself through
Waiting for something new: like everyone’s done before
There’s nothing I’d ignore; receptive of trend taboos
This particular noontide
So usually youthful
Day’s verve still coursing
Greeting me back into the fold
Now I notice another floor that has not been explored before
Fresh magic marvels the air…
Young scent leads me in… it leads me in.
Another Sunday morning:
A triumphant quest pulled through
Like flames meant to temper:
They shall spark treasures like you
Rerun’s in order so as to keep this steady glow
There’s nothing that will be ignored,
‘Cause I have outgrown
Yeah i have outgrown
I CAN’T LET GO!

Cobra Avalanche
03:38
|
|||
Neck’s stiff from glaring up
The warmth from lights above
Dances in sync with a sweat
Of the thermal threats thereof
Amidst these skies’ eyes
Blink legions of phoenix spies
Lord only knows: how far we are
Lord only knows: of veils that blur
How far we are from all that matters
Originations whispering new chapters
This mortal coil: enduring stains of failed stock
Skyhooks: the need to flee in haste
An uproar: contain your puerile selves
We aren’t the salient sophonts deemed
Their piercing eyes at me. Their piercing eyes at me:
Won’t break a sweat as I wave unabashedly
I’m pulling up (fare you well)
I’m getting out (fare you well)
This mortal coil: enduring stains of failed stock
Skyhooks: the need to flee in haste
An uproar: contain your puerile selves
We aren’t the salient sophonts deemed
Their piercing eyes at me. Their piercing eyes at me:
Won’t break a sweat as I wave unabashedly
I’m pulling up (fare you well)
I’m getting out (fare you well)
I’m pulling up. I’m getting out (x2)
I’m pulling up (fare you well)
I’m getting out (fare you well)

In Vein
06:03
|
|||
She told me to stay:
A gesture warm with embrace
My stomach beckons that I flee away
It can sense what’s past her veils
She puts on her fey-ke up
So I don’t notice her protruding lips and scarlet fangs no more
In our midst doing well to untether my grip
An advantage that existed long ago
Pre-dating our frail human growth
A sense to take to foot
So as not to be pulled to the burn
Except, her sway’s far too strong
I’ve gripped and jerked and pulled
But the minx holds on
I begin to like this thrill of feeling more compelled
Taken over: this fever that I’ve caught
You can hold of on your awe-assuring spells
I believe we have more in common than once thought
You’ve changed the root of a man that was..
of a man that knew of nothing more
Who knew this would be
A solution to a need of being reformed
She can see… can rework me
It feels good to be an animal
I can’t complain… I can’t contain
This urge to be more than a common man
Now that she’s bound me I feel embraced
An added hunger: the need to taste
A lil’ o’ your heart a little bit
A lil’ o’ your heart a little bit
