Picture Erased
04:05

|
I stand on stilts towering so tall
Nothing can pull me down
But one minor motion could make me fall
I’m teetering to the ground
‘Tween my hands and my feet I have all that I need
But greed still reminds me of more
So I’ll sit and pull teeth
At the bits of my peace
And wait for something to form
But thin limbs can’t hold like cards to a wall
My head is in the clouds
If others dreams fold this hand I will hold
So please will you hear me out
Every picture I paint is a memory displayed
Each pigment a different result
If the colors do fade or if the canvas is frayed
I hope it’s still beautiful
But I’ll set the tone even if its monochrome
Cause the devil is in the detail
And the details alone are connected like bones
So the memories will never be frail
So this one thing I’ll hold as the image erodes
When we take our final bows
and the picture erased leaves a scar on the page
So you can’t mark me out

It takes a toll
Life is predictable
This neglected spectacle
We're wasting our youth
Another room
With the same company
The quiet does bother me
But i'm not alone
Breaking news
I'm blood I'm mineral
Trapped in this digital
Box we all view
You never learn
We're all just soldiers
So dive in that deep end
Do as your told
As for me
I'd rather be sinking
Or sinking my teeth in
To hope I can hold
I'm not holding back tears
My body is more than just dirt
Does that make things worse? I don't know.
But the fear in my throat
Goes down as I exhale and grow
Learning how to let go
Do you remember when
The house was burning down?
I was in the yard
I was freaking out
it didn't matter then
it doesn't matter now
I'd lose it all again
to learn that I have found
new point of view (you)
So call it dumb luck
But it's not enough
I'm taking back what they stole
Light me with matches
And watch as it catches
I'm coming back skin and bones

Controller
04:56
|

|
Bankrupt gods gunning for you
Pick a side pick and lose
Will you ever resist?
Pick a target and miss
Who's your controller?
Are they ones who hide behind the lies we choose
Who's your controller
Shake a hand and smile nevermind the truth
A demagogue pushed on you
Speaks his mind paid per view
Will they ever admit
Every target is picked
There's no way of knowing
Which direction we are going
Not a speck of light is showing
I see no sign of this slowing
So i'll cry mercy you'll scream glory
If there's bloodshed every story
Will we ever heed a warning
Is it freedom or security?

Gravity
03:59
|
|||
|
In a sea of endless galaxies
I am held where I'm supposed to be
though you’re far I hold you here with me
you’re the brightest star that I could see
so hold tight like gravity
Radiant lines heavens aligned
Below and above
Pale blue dot cradled and caught
the only home I know
I'll clear the ground as I count down
With flags for where i roam
A lost cosmonaut, I'm not, I'm not
All systems a go
fly away
Though you're far you are here with me
Fly away
With the brightest of company
Fly Away
Bring me back to the one i need
Fly Away
To hold tight just like gravity
So radars and eyes sifting the sky
For a shimmer of you now
Prayers and signs, hoping you'll find
This place beneath the clouds
So you'll fear the ground as I count down
your heart is where I roam
Oh lost cosmonaut have you forgot
When will you come home?

The Goodbyes
05:05
|
|||
|
You step in with smirk and a sigh
as I pull apart precious parts of your mind
we dance around thoughts like we're afraid to die
but who's not
I laugh as you cry
Like roses and pebbles placed upon graves
we're tokens we're medals
to show that we came to kill time
with the good byes
So what comes comes in threes
Sex drugs and money
sweat death and grief
Hope love and cunning
all these thoughts compose a perfect storm
And my cluttered hearts always waging a war
Cause I love you but I love the truth more
My backs always hugging the door
So how long
Could you wait for a sunrise?
In the cold night
With the good byes
Would you be my missing rib
Severed from my sins
Feathers in my skin
Cover me cover me
Or covet like a thief
Take everything you see
Take everything and leave
Take everything
This is what you wanted

Different Frames
03:15
|
|||
|
The silver linings darker now
You can only blame yourself
So take the bait and choke it down
If you'd only ask for help
If you'd only let it die
Instead of breathe it back to life
I guess good hurt is hard to find
Nice tryst
Good times
And it feels just fine
OK alright
Keep your ear close to the dirt
But you tell me all is well
If this is love what is it worth
Is it hope or is it hell
You should set your tongue between
The sharpest sections of your teeth
And bite it down each time you speak
My heart swings to the right
And my head sways to the left
Are we seeing this the same?
Are we down in different frames?

Maybe Not Today
04:06

I'm glad you braved the storm
I can see it in your eyes
You're hoping that there's more
Onward til we die
I'm knocking on your door
A prison in disguise
I told you there was more
I told you i would try
So I wrestle, I wade
My shelter is rain
So I wrestle, I wade
My shelter the rain
You hold those cigarettes
Like a bent up crucifix
Blaming me for death
Choking on regrets
But every freckle on her face
Was an excuse to stay
Waiting on a change
But maybe not today

Me Without You
05:52
|
|||
|
Somewhere between is where I will be
Searching for seams in a smile
And I'll learn to stitch my thoughts into it
So everyone gets what they want
Somewhere between is where I will be
He lost a ring not his heart
And she'll learn to sink her thoughts into ink
Not everyone gets what they want
Make a point I've been comatose for years
If I can't trace the dots
i think we're lost
make a move well I've been wrestling my fears
If I can't pin them down
i'm losing now
A puzzle with a missing piece
A heart that pumps but doesn't bleed
Another chapter for these damaged lives
Another friend that I'll leave behind
And I know we're all just wasting
I know we're all just wasting
I trip on every trap I see
Don't try to follow me
The choice was mine
Not yours this time
I trip on every trap I see
A common anomaly
I'm losing faith
In every face
But everything could have its place
If every heart could hold the weight
All in motion
All emotion
All in motion
there will not be a neutral party (parting)
What was dead has just got started
I won't be lost without you

Split
04:33
|

|
I've been stuck on a riddle
I've been caught in the fog
I’ve been split down the middle
Burning sage to my thoughts
It's probably nothing, i’m just looking for something
isn't it obvious
I see better when I sleep
Day in and day out
Sun rise till sundown
When the truth is monotonous
On barren plots my thoughts can breed
Searching for something
Yeah, probably nothing
I've been stuck on a riddle
I've been caught in the fog
I am split down the middle
Burning sage to my thoughts
It's probably nothing
i’m just looking for something
So say what you want to say
but a pinch of salt is all I need
Thrown over my shoulder
Before a devil can whisper
Payment is not enough
Negate the point, create a need
Do it over and over
Until you’re cold like the winter
Sometimes I wish I was somewhere else

Shake My Soul
04:12
|
|||
|
I'm letting go of everything I have
All my broken promises
All my fleeting plans
I'm letting go of everything I am
All my wounds my bandages
All my scars my scabs
But it's still so amazing
How your love could still save me
Let these broken lungs breathe new life
Every seed from the wayside
Still grows in the daylight
Let this frozen heart feel real fire
So shake my soul
Let the weight of your love
Crush the lies that I hold
We're named we're known
We are stars in the night
We are diamonds from coal
I'm letting go of everything I seek
Yeah, I'd go blind to see your eyes
Be the only thing I need
Will you hold my heart through the shallow
through the deep?
lead me through the thickest night
be the only thing I see
