Years Gone By / Vintage

// Old me, old machine / not quite obsolete / you could make something of me / incomplete, in disrepair / everyone will stop & stare / scared of the monstrosity / no one, nowhere / you know I'm there / swimming in dizzy despair / gnawing on the remnants of dreams / & memories of long ago / the seeds I've sown have never grown / the soil is spoiled, it seems / I don't belong here anymore / maybe I did some time before / a house on a hill will sit so still / always dreaming it could have been more //

New TV

|

|
I just got a new tv / to watch the world end through a screen / nothing is what nothing means / & I've got nothing to prove it //

Dark Before Dawn
04:00
|
|||
|
You're losing time, it's fleeting / now I'm losing mine, I'm waiting / for something inside to wake me / from this little life / I'm dreaming, am I dreaming, am I // some place I can call a home? / Heaven, Earth or Hell below? / Tell me where & I will go / the future moves oh so slow / will I ever find embrace / in paradise lost & erased? / What will become in the dark before dawn // You're on my mind / I'm hoping that someday you'll find / the answer to question / everything in sight / the seasons, the reasons / I'll be by your side / & we'll be, will we be // some place we can call a home? / Heaven, Earth or Hell below? / Tell me where & I will go / the future moves oh so slow / will we ever find embrace / in paradise lost & erased? / What will become in the dark before dawn? //

In the Eye of the Storm
02:05
|
|||
|
You take these lit candles & light the night / I'll take these wet matches & start a fire / & all you have to say is you're sorry for leaving me alone in the dark // The dogs were all drowning beneath the flood / as I sunk my black boots into the mud / & all you had to say was you're sorry for leaving / but your eyes met my eyes in the eye of the storm //

Elephant
03:00
|
|||
|
Take me with every tide rushing back to your chest / I'll forgive the waves for erasing each step / drown out the sound with the words in your mouth / forget the dream, all I want is what's left // God is alive , She's awake & She's deaf / my prayers have dance in the warmth of Her breath / please don't mistake the taste for the gain / see with your heart & hear with your brain // the silence moves like an elephant / in the room but still I can't / reach the moon or understand / our escaping youth //

Banker's Club, Baby
03:16
|
|||
|
I look in the mirror & all I see is fear / Alone, searching for the coming dawn / alone & wishing you were here / Beheaded for a shoulder to cry on, me, myself, & I / lost in nowhere & now we're here / where survival is a sacrifice // I look into your eyes & all I see are tears / searching for a place to fall /in love or into something surreal / we know nothing, yet we've seen it all / still year after year / we're running in circles & the circles aren't real // Tell me it's alright / get me through the night / I've been saving up / Will it be enough? / Take it day by day / feels like such a waste / Can you help me find where I lost my mind?//

Bison screams like a buffalo / Who cares? Who knows? I don't know / when the beginning begins to end / Are we just fine? Are we just friends? / Well I know the things I used to know / & I learn the things I need to grow / along the road / long road to nowhere / watch the sun sink into somewhere / Wise man speaks but he doesn't know / who, when, where, how is it gonna go / Death defies, defines the man / understand
in time spent chasing after... //

Gone Wrong
02:40
|
|||
|
I can't seem to find a dream tonight / to escape me in the morning light / Ever-eroding over time / life is but a dream, a dream is but a lie // All the answers go unrecognized when the questions ask themselves / "What's it matter if I find my way if I can't even find myself?"/ No secrets to tell, nothing to hide / time won't change a thing, change comes from inside / now the sun is rising, I'm wide awake / with the consequences of my mistakes //

Hall of Mirrors
04:30
|
|||
|
Hanging from the hills is a place I want to show you / before the whispers & walls fall upon deaf ears / In a colder light, I've sen trees monolithic & skeletal, blur into the sky / waltzing away into a summer night // Sometime not too long ago my reflection wandered off / in a hall of mirrors never to be found / Any semblance of self melts into a face I don't recognize / I look into your eyes & I feel home / (not alone) //

Old Friends
03:08
|
|||
|
Me, you, you, me / all alone, together / we never fell far astray from / who we used to be / oh so small, but we will never be as tall as the trees / We know we've grown ceaselessly / since the beginning of light // close your eyes & you will find / I'm by your side all the time / think of me & you will see / everything I'll ever be / here I am, can never tell / if where I am is somewhere else / me, you, you, me / promise me you'll never leave //

Now Here, Nowhere
02:15
|
|||
|
Now here, nowhere / no tears, no air/heir / locked box carried, buried / seen through into beautiful oblivion // Infinity, take me / breathless blessing / unbound, breaking free / never to be broken again / finally free of restless emptiness // Now here, nowhere again //
