Breaking Wave
03:02
|
|||
|
I thought that I could live
In this little bed we made
Then you came crashing down
On me like a breaking wave
The water filled my lungs
The salt is in my veins
But not to worry
I’ll not waste the pain
I thought the earth would split
Underneath the path I chose
Open up it’s mouth
Just to swallow me whole
But my feet, they carried me
Out of it’s belly and it’s teeth
Any not to worry
I’ll not return to that home
But why didn't I see you for what…

Swim
02:56
|
|||
|
Let’s take a swim
In sunshine and gin
I don’t care who wins
‘cause I could float on your skin
Until you say when
Even just now and then
Love me when you’re drunk
Tell me when you’re done
Let’s end it while it’s fun
‘cause I could float on your skin
Until you say when
Even just now and then

Another Place
02:57
|
|||
|
When that little flame
Is painting on your face
I cannot help
But go to another place
Where I keep your wolves at bay
And heal every single wound
From where they sank their fangs
And you won’t want to stray
Where the grace of your voice
Evaporates my pain
Like the morning rays
On the puddles that remain
From my darkest night of rain
Darkest night of rain
When that little flame
Is painting on your face
I cannot help
But go to a better place
Where time means as much
As an unwritten page
And all we can do is strain
To remember the things
We created from our pain
Created from our pain
But reality awaits
And never hesitates
To remind me of my place
And the scars of my age
And our love it goes to waste
Like wine down a drain
But I would love to stay
I would love to stay
‘Cause when that little flame is dancing on your face
It cuts right through my chains and I make my escape

Broadcast
04:34
|
|||
|
Cannot stop their mouths from lying
Broadcast fervent fists are flying
Laugh at reason as its dying
It keeps wringing me dry
Let’s all draw a line
Find out who’s on our side
Lock your doors and hide
Coming for you tonight
Effective rationalizing
Cancels need for sympathizing
Sponsored by the trash we’re buying
They’ll keep wringing us dry
Let’s all draw a line
Find out who’s on our side
Lock your doors and hide
Coming for you tonight

Son
03:31
|
|||
|
So a son is born, a mother’s torn
Bringing that boy into this world
That looks so bad, looks so bad
Looks so bad and endless
Now the cord is cut, no one knows what
Will ever come of you now
No. We’ll never know, never know
Never know now will we
To carry the shield or will you yield
To all the thorns in the field
Be one of them, one of them
One of them now will you
The sun is up again
I am wondering
Where on earth have you been?
Now a life began, a father ran
Wanting to be burden free
But he is a beast that won’t release
That won’t release now will he
Like a day in waste, a dollar made
Our time in trade for pocket change
That doesn’t change, doesn’t change
Doesn’t change anything
The sun is up again
I am wondering
Where on earth have you been?

When I'm New
02:49
|
|||
|
It’s now time to flee this place
Put an end to saving face
Ran so hard an endless race
Dressed to someone else’s taste
Collected all my best mistakes
Built a bridge to better days
All the words set it ablaze
To beautifully disintegrate
I will miss you when I am new.

Glisten
04:36
|
|||
|
Tears are beading at your chin
They glisten in the salty wind
Knees are deep in sand and sorrow
Let’s just deal with this tomorrow
I know I know they won’t stop calling
To the west the rain, it’s falling
Why don’t we lock our fingers
As for me I hope this lingers
|

I'm fine. How are you?
03:50
|
|||
|
I hide my thoughts underneath my bed
‘Cause you’ll read them all and fill me full of lead
I’d love to speak them again for before I’m dead
Tomorrow morning I’ll choke on them instead
I’ve been reaching up for a hand that wasn’t there
Built my falling empire with a fist full of air
Used up all my thread and sewn my wings
Stitched them up closed so tight now all they do is bleed
So I stack these dreams at the foot of my bed
That’s where they lay, got no place inside my head
I’d love to see them again before I’m dead
Tomorrow morning I’ll trip on them instead

Lab Rat
03:39
|
|||
|
Oh, great god above
I know it's you I’m supposed to love
But your hand in my life
Feels like a rubber glove
And I’m your laboratory rat
Who screams your name when push comes to shove
Oh, great god above
I know it's you I’m supposed to love
But your voice in my hear sounds like anger from above
And we’re unwilling participants
In your vain experiment
To make us know your fame
