Chasing Rockets
04:03
|

pulled our love from out your pocket
taped it to a rocket
then you lit the fuse
blast off!
i only think to grab on
pulling limb from socket
but can't think why i want it anymore
oh, now i'm floating
and i can still hear you gloating
from 62 miles away
how you got your way
and weren't you proud of yourself
now i can feel it building
pressure in my feeling organ
shame you couldn't be here
to watch my heart explode
i'm in dire straights here
cos i won't let it go
i need to let it go
now i'm falling
back onto the growing earth
and i'm just glowing
smile from ear to ear
i stretch my arms out
like a falling angel
free from fairytales
free from all i fear
oh, now i'm floating
salted and soaking
with not a cloud in the sky
i wondered if i had died
and that would be fine
i'm riding this current freely
where ever it wants to take me
i don't care
i'm free
i freed me of you
i just let you go
i'm done chasing rockets
i thought i'd let you know
i just let you go

Perfect
03:25
|
|||
i see your face with every urgent breath
any place, any time
i lose my soul with every glance i get
i know your scent like i know mine
i rape your thoughts, take your dignity
i undress you with my eyes
i think of ways for you to pleasure me
where no one would here your cries
i crushed the voice of sanity
and hid you deep inside of me
i'd choke and angel for her wings
to keep you hidden here with me
i'd shake the world for you to see
there's no one else for you but me
if, not together, we would be
i'd take the life from you and me
and i'll impose my will
till you will see
we are one
in time
you will feel
how i feel
perfect love

In Passing
03:44
|
|||
i've been standin' outside your door
for quite some time
can't get the strength to go inside
i never thought i'd see you like that
so, here i am
standing out here
with my hands hiding my eyes
well, maybe i'm a fool
or just naive
or maybe my love for you
has crippled me
or maybe i'm just scared
of the unknown
what life is with you gone
please stay with me
cos if you go now
it wouldn't be fair
if you go now
there'd be nothing more to share
please don't go
what does it mean, this time that we spend?
why do we keep breaking hearts we have mended?
why must we make what we cannot maintain?
our human relations are hardly humane

Forever My Heart Goes
04:24
|
|||
They will say that all the world is grey
So let the day unfold the same
Well, I embrace the thoughts I make
And you cannot take them away from me
And so, I carry on
Through the depths of the unknown
That has taken me from home
And my favorite TV show
And the sounds
Of the people that I know
Here, forever my heart goes
Will she say that everything has changed
And I should keep the day at bay
Well, I can take away the pain
If I can find that vain again
And I can't believe I've gone
To the depths of the unknown
Will I ever make it home?
To my favorite TV show
And the cast
Of the people that I've stoned
Here, forever my heart goes
For all the things I've known
For the fear of growing old
I could never be alone
If I never make it home
To your smile
And my favorite TV show
There's something you should know
There, forever my heart goes

Damage
05:55
|
|||
look at the damage we've done
parading around in our lust
neglecting the needs of our young
so the rich can get richer
look at the wholes that we've dug
as deep and as dark as our glut
we barter with daughters and sons
cos oil is thicker than blood
when will we repent for the sins of our fathers?
or is the burden left at the feet of our daughters?
when will we be free...
of this greasy machine
we habitually feed
as it constantly runs over us?
look at the wars that we wage
most of them fueled by our faith
we wager our children today
on notions from an ignorant age
...armed with armageddon, we race to our destruction...

Broken Clocks
03:08
|
|||
I found myself sobbing on the floor
Reflecting on who I was before
A broken heap, naked and ashamed
Of years gone past and choices I had made
And I was so alone the darkness was afraid
And left me there to wallow in my pain
My soul tried to scream
As my throat tried to heave
And all I could do was squeeze myself
Until the pain drew blood on me
And just when I thought I'd sink through the floor
There was your voice saying
"No, there's more..."
More to this, more to life
More to us
More
Then I felt the sun beat down on me
Thawing out the hop that died beneath
And I used your words to get me on my feet
And face the day that faced away from me
Now I call you my friend
The best of them all
You made me big
The smallest of small
Because of you I'm 20 feet tall
And if I believed in a god
I'd sell it my soul
Give it my song
Yes, give it me whole
Just to give me a chance
To make you my own again
I'd give it all for you

By The Way
04:01
|
|||
I wondered how it'd be
If everything that you just said
Had somehow came to be
And the life I've known
Had never been
I pondered for a while
Tried to make sense of it all
The love that you impaired
With careless words you shared
Well, I hope you conscience is clear
By the way
I almost gave you up
By the way
You shouldn't be with me today
You shouldn't be mine, by the way
But since we're together today
Be grateful my mind was changed
Your burden, now is mine
It's nothing you can erase
Out ties, now they unwind
It's nothing I can replace
I hope you found relief
Cos now there's none for me
A life, now is impaired
With careless words you shared
Well, I hope your conscience is clear
Everyday is another day I know

The Wait
03:39
|
|||
isn't that the quarter that you stole
to pay back the dollar that you owe
Wasn't that your smile in the firing line
one step further, fall behind
and you wait
now the one consoled has just let you know
that all your lies are gone
and now there's something wrong
fall from flight
say goodnight
and you almost lost your mind
no will to fight
can't stand your sight
you know that mirrors never lie
isn't that your money that you smoked
and one more story that you told
and you wait
now you're feeling high, but you left behind
all the ones you love
but still you laugh it up
fall from flight
say goodnight
and you almost lost your life
no will to fight
can't stand your sight
you know that mirrors never lie
we only wait in vain

Addict's Attic
04:22
|

i'm not beautiful
it's not wrong to say
i'm not colorful
at least not today
i'm not feeling well
i'm so cold today
oh, what i wouldn't do
to not feel this way
i'm holding on to none of it
and only feeling pain
i'm holding on to all of it
drifting far away
it's ok now
and though i'm cold and numb
it's been so long
lonely staring walls
rape my head
i wish it all away now
i wish it all had meaning
and force myself to want it
still contemplating feeling feelings
i raise my hands above my head
i can't look back
i'm running
running scared
can't get far enough
so, i'll keep running

Beauty
04:34
|
|||
how you hold my hand
how you hold me up
time after time
how you make me laugh
even when i'm sad
how I hurt when you cry
you help me achieve
better versions of me
you're my friend and my lover
you pleasure my mind
you're beauty defined
how you fill me up
how you value me
time after time
how you picked me
how you grounded me
how i float when you smile
don't despair when they do
those things that they do
that make us fell blue
don't believe what they say
oh, those things that they say
cos they can't speak for us
you make me believe
that we can achieve
anything we can dream to dream
you're my lover
my beautiful lover
you're my best friend
you pleasure my mind
you're beauty defined
you're a beauty
oh, you're so beautiful
