it was the best of times
and time was my friend
like it was yesterday
all over again
letting it go
We felt the down days
like in the old place
we could let go in the garden
follow the radio
wherever it'd go
now it's the modern age
and i'm stuck here again
i heard of a new place
they'll never let us in
Now we're the audience
At least know I tried
I keep falling backwards
Futures too much to hide
With no one to blame

Lie still on the grass
and fold in the garden
where there are no breaks
it's easy to choose this
you'll meet a man
upon the road
and he'll tell you where to go
In this lifetime you won't see it
you'll just float away
as the walls get higher you'll find
there's no other way
it's all i can do to not look back
but i can't turn away
another chance to get it right
always another day
They'll follow your name
a gallon of whispers
will tear at their ghosts
its something to run with
something she gave me
avoids the light
and it keeps me up at night

Old Photographs

we met in the desert
in 1989
sunset was approaching
we had nothing but time
but i didn’t catch your name
that day
yet in this old photograph
i can see the way it was
on a flat plane
he taught uncle roger
he kept those kids in line
both of his eyes sparkled
and the wind had started to die

Background Noise

|

|
i got home last night
and i read your letter
it was background noise
i let go
i’m at a total loss for words
so i don’t know what to say
thanks a lot for your honesty
and have a nice day
I want to get out
There’s a time and a place
No memory here
None that I could taste
|

sometimes you suspend your faith
and let everything open
and you fall into something strange
thoughts that we could live along
like any other animal
we’re stronger if weren’t not
stuck inside a cage
As we stood at the side of the road
wondering how we could get home
You walked up to the crosswalk
and you sat down
and said look at the light and listen to the sounds
And as we sat I realized
there’s no need to look back
everything is clearly viewed
its right in front of you
if you can let yourself see it
there’s no need to make trouble of being
you took the words out of my mouth

Comet

i caught a glimpse
of the night sky
it was falling on deaf ears,
everybody was rushing by
i will see you again
when you fall my way
at night i'll see you shining
but through my eyes
the view was so much better
i can't imagine why
You may try to catch it
But there’s no time
Guess trying to make it better
is just not your style

It's Up To You

Today was a testament to giving in
I had people to see but I stayed in
These are deadlines I need to meet
Caffeine caffeine where are you?
There are you things you discover
On your own
There are things undiscovered
But not wholly unknown
So if you got it from me
Then you're probably wrong
If you got it from me
You should write that off

Flying Down
03:09
|
|||
|
This feels like when I’m flying down
but my feet have yet to touch the ground
Things always stay the same
because all they do is change
I’ll make it there
someday, somehow
i hear it’s nice
all year round

I'm Sorry, What?
02:37
|
|||
|
Bated at the brim
Take us for a ride
let us in your mind
Hold us for a time
it was faded at the seams
forms of what it was
sacred it may have been
failed to get us high
Are you even listening?

What is you doing?
Take violence you know he’s
a good friend to everybody
I don’t know but
I don’t really know but
This is what I heard they said
I think he dead
You know?
uhm...
uh...
Tired I don’t wanna work no more
Am I talking to death?
Uhm...To hell and back...
Now this my third eye
though you could hardly see it
Uhm..
Jews daughter
the butcher’s boy
Does one?..Does one uh...
get in before January?
A list. So yeah, there
This is a tool of devastation
it’s not fair
Again
Again
The last time that you saw
me I was floating away
Uh...The exercise of logical reason is always concerned with these absolutely general conditions?
Uhm...Yes?
That’s awful.
And if you speak right into the microphone
you’ll hear yourself better
The thing is I think my words *ahem* are going to be...uhm
What?
Words.
The cold past
highlight gleam of hostile campfires
set on the low brows
of distant hills.
That’s awful prose.
Now I have to worry about brain focus.
Again
Again
The last time that you saw
me I was floating away
What caused this
or did you just make it up?
But uh.. they always seemed to be talking around each other
rather than to each other
they weren’t getting down to any specific facts
Well?
Well? uh...
Putting out the bright colors
And the goods rang with their joy in heaven
this song that would bring them in
and the good meeting began
I can remember when uhm...
I can remember when uhm....
And I can remember that
The song that you have just heard
is a different, different type of song that uh…
that has been sung before
though this one is the piano

That's All I Got
03:18
|

when it came down to it i tell you
that's all i got
and you look at me
like you're paralyzed
but i know the truth now
i know what’s hiding around me
cause i'm with you now
and this is as real as it's gonna be
just close your eyes
(and steady your mind)
just close your eyes
(it could be alright)
if you just gave it time
It could be all you lost
it's easy to lose
when you never learned what you had
you call my name
like you were there at all
|
||||
13. |

|
Hold your ground
accept your folly
don't make a sound
before the water breaks
Drop your crown
the swell is rising
it drinks the ground
of all the bitterness
