Dangling Man
04:20
|
|||
|
Pain like poison
Waits for its turn
Hides like the enemy
Roots for the burn
Fear like water
Floods my veins
So I cling to the pen
Dangling over nothing
(br)
Your memory tells a lie
But your soul is free
Our love was worth the try
And I’ll take it with me now
I’ll take all we did and we...
(ch)
Said to the place where the
names don’t serve the eyes and the faces don’t try to deceive, love
So try to forgive love, Try to forgive what I Say
What I say —————
Regret like acid
Burns my skin
System disabled
Abort the scene
Memories lie
But lies don’t hurt
They are the veil
To harness you heart
(br)
(ch)
Said to the place where there
Is no time and the names don’t Serve the eyes and the faces don’t Try to deceive love
So try to forgive love, Try to forgive what I Say
What I say

Saviour in You
04:15
|
|||
|
I’m sitting in a room
With curtain walls
I’m standing at the top of a mountain And I’m begging you
To keep the water warm
(and I’m screaming at the top of my lungs)
Get me out of here
Get me out in the world
I have no business diggin’ in this hidden hole
(ch)
Just get me out of here Out in the world
I’m looking for a savior A saviour in you
——
(br 1)
I have no time for retaliation I’m seeing angry faces
Bodies gettin’ torn
And I’m hiding from the plague That’s haunting both of us
(ch)
I’m taking all the measures
For keepin’ us afloat
And I can’t move
But I’m spittin’ poison out of my tongue
(ch)
—— Coda
(ch) out

Archie Don't Fall
05:27
|
|||
|
Harvest in time
don’t let it slip away
a flower will last
just enough to shine once
luck comes around
when you least expect it you’re stuck to the ground and the next day you fly
who cares where you’re bound go for the bright shapes
but never look back
It’s so dark in this town ———@
Chorus:
Bodies just waiting to fade into oblivion
but your heart
races alone
Chaos of voices around but you carry one song
so Archie, please don’t fall ———
we’re still around
but we’re running late, babe let’s dance to the sound
of our wings
skybound
Try all the maybes
Stay out of the beaten path you’ll see your heyday
if you stick
to the plan
(Chorus)
I won’t let it
I won’t let things be till the tide and the tale turn around
(Chorus-Fade Out)

Let Go of You
03:37
|
|||
|
If it’s true that we won’t walk together again
that we won’t laugh
the way we like to do
well, I choose not to lie I choose not to say
a word
If it is as they say
and you’ll stay on the other side
—————— chorus:
I will walk in the night through lonely roads I will follow the lights ‘till I find your home our stories are tied so I can’t let go
of you ——————
If it is as they say
and you’ll ride your trains alone
and that you will cling
to someone else’s hand
Well I choose not to cry I choose not to say
a word
if it is as they say
that your home
won’t have me inside
(chorus)

Clown with a Gun
03:08
|
|||
|
Keep your oxygen clean, dear doctor Try to hear what you say
I’m the monkey that feeds your circus I’m the money in the pain
I was wrong to come for redemption It was easy to see
Lonely boy seeking fresh attention Walks away withe the blame
(ch)
White shirt anxiety Pressure fillin’ up
the world in me Do I bring a gift
or a curse within Who gets to decide
how I dream of me?
Leave your mark on my skin, brother See the shape that I’m in
You’re the clown w/the gun, master You’re the king of my shame
I’m distracted, I squirm, I’m restless
I dig for bone underneath
But I hear the sounds that you whisper I know you hide a little sin
(ch)
(br)
Toy around w/ your master
Have a go at hide-and-seek
Who can claim
Your own disasters
When you choose the game you’re in

Hungry Moon
03:24
|
|||
|
Hungry moon, big eye You never tire
Of seeing us in the dust
Under you, big white hook
We do it again
And again, and again, and again
(bridge)
Wake up to the sound of your trust Close shop with the angels of lust
Why don’t you
Come down here
And meet me at the scene Where people
Cry and steal
(bridge)
Hungry moon, big eye
You are blind,
And I swing to the will of your love
Why don’t you come down here And get a taste of this
‘Till the sun Takes the place Of you
Hungry moon, big eye You never tire
Of seeing us in the dust

Two Crows
04:36
|
|||
|
Two crows fly over an empty square
It’s the death dance
The empty stare
Wait for signs
And look for symbols
Lights to guide you
Threads to flare
(ch)
Your heart beats big
On naked feet
But your bloody hands
Can’t hold the beat
I’m a hunter not a beggar
Dealing in mud
And your bloody hands
Can’t hold the beat
——
Bags and wallets, notes and coins
Leave the party with some noise
Steal the root, uproot the cymbals
Here no bird cuts through the noise
(ch)
(Br)
‘cause you’re splittin’ at the hip
You speak with broken lips
Put your ear on the door
You’ll learn so much more
(repeat)
‘till your beak bites the marble
And your wings hit the floor

Battlefield
02:48
|
|||
|
Where did my pain hide
After our love went dry?
I tried so hard to try
But there where no breathing signs And in the aftermath
Your body would not respond
On this battlefield I drift with an empty heart On this battlefield I drift with an empty heart
Who thought that making love Would turn into a crime Loaded with empty souls Headed right for suicide
Our bodies still so warm Trying to hold on to love
On this battlefield I drift with an empty heart On this battlefield I drift with an empty heart
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Truth will lie Somewhere outside Sometimes we chase What we can’t deny

Find a Way
05:13
|
|||
|
When you are tired
And you can’t get to sleep
When your hands are cold and lonely Have no one to caress
And when you’re looking for a word To say what you can’t say
(ch)
Know that I’m here to stay
I’ll keep on knocking on your door And you can let go
And find a way
Find a way in me
Love was gone
But now it’s here to stay
The lonely you, the only you
Is with the whole of us
And what you thought could not be real Is now within the reach of your hands
(ch)
‘cause Know that we’re here to stay I’ll always watch your back
And you can let go
And find a way
Find a way in me (bridge)
Troubled times
Uneasy times
Will roll your way
Yes they’ll make you sway But with my helpful hand Oh! With my loving hand oh! With my helpful hand You will find a way
Out of this maze
(find a way in me Find a way in me...)

Angry Wind
04:36
|
|||
|
Sleepin’ through twilight
Wake to an empty bed
I’m longing for reason
But reason laughs at me instead
I no longer miss the water
Or some original dream state
But I still get the chills
When I hear you comin’ in
Angry wind
Scared mind
Don’t know what’s love or hate
Whenever I hear you cry
I see my fate
Being tough is my weakness
Losing you was my fate
I scream so no one can hear me
When the cover up their ears
And I’m loud with forgiveness
For those who can still feel
And I know what to break
But I can’t afford the cost
(ch)
(Bridge)
I know just what it takes
but I can’t fathom the jump
maybe right there and then
I’ll get to turn the page
(ch)

Floodgates
03:21
|
|||
|
Hurt like a knife
Walkin’ through that door I held it all inside
Then let go of it all
——————-
Thoughts like butterflies Permeate my mind
Push until the floodgates open
Break it into lines Hard to recognize Seeing with your Eyes half open
—————-
A thousand years wide
A dream of things unbroken The enemy is on your side And he don’t take no tokens
Chorus

Top of The World
03:40
|
|||
|
I see colors rushing through the mist Overtown
I see patterns in the way you move With no sound
We are up so high, so close, So out of time
Birds with broken wings, Still want to fly
—————
If the one who hurts is hurt And truth is a lie
When blood turns into water Then into wine
If you feel that you can’t see, but then Close your eyes
A son just wants to be In his daddy’s arms —————-
(bridge)
And the mirror speaks
Telling us we got too close Telling us we’ve gone too far Telling us we’re lagging behind
———————- (Chorus)
Our love intoxicating
I think that you can be someone new
‘cause we’re standing at the top of the world
Our love is in the making
You think that I can be someone new And I’m standing at the top of the world

Love You More
04:49
|
|||
|
I see you more
Now that you’re gone
I feel you though
You’re far from here
How come it seems
That what I feared
Took over
And made me love you more
I hesitate when I walk
And I talk like a drunk puppeteer
A bag of bones
With a sneer
I parade the zombie world
(ch)
‘cause I love you more
Now that you’re not here
I love you more
Now you’ve left me behind
I love you more
Now we have the time
All the time
——
They try to talk me into a bubble
They try to pull me outside your sphere
But I can’t handle the idea
Of letting go of your world
(ch)
How you did it
And why you did it
I wish I’d been around
Did you think of me?
And did you mean it?
I thought we had touched ground
(ch)
