- A Bright Light
It's all in the water, colder
Those walls caving in
You know you loved this sad October
You know you said it now
You know you said it to me
It's all a carol but no trace of it
Down there after midnight
- A Fate Delivered
The one that you love.
The one that will hurt you.
The one up above.
Now a cold wind blows,
yeah, a cold wind blows.
It's breaking down the line.
The nail in your neck,
- A Place In Line
words fall like autumn leaves as he speaks.
bring you down.
and this time his eyes sing a line from the living sea.
some things just go away with sleep.
fade away.
some things just get worse with every day.
either away.
crushing leaves to find the spot on earth.
- Dreamland
hammers and nails i've used them for building my face this time tomorrow.
when i see you again outside.
and inside i can hide my sorrow.
talking in such a dirty way
found a way i could come back.
catch your eye it's just the same as reminding me of what i wanted.
its what you are.
tried my list of all excuses.
- February
Sister's gone, a crown of red,
you said, I missed, a mistake...
In the dark, I thought her you, and shot, the room was tilting
I hear your voice
calling me from a calendar
anniversary
I hear your voice
- Fight Song
And there on the stairs,
Standing there,
Arm outstretched,
Point and glare,
Watching the love,
Fall to our feet,
Into the floor to disappear.
- Hanging Marionette
And stripes on fire,
these hands are tired.
I’m making plans to drink away
all these words I can’t escape.
I have to try to make you stay.
Because I’m alone,
stay with me this time.
- hello, dearest love
welcome home
her eyes know
mistakes you've made
the plans you laid
your love, it means so much
a simple ring, your fingers touch
break away
- Innocent Vigilant Ordinary
"oh, no," i said
i think about the times
the way you smile at me
and how we always kiss
and how we drank the sun
and killed the night
and fought the sleep and won
- Losing Touching Searching
there no sign
theres no chance
we'll get there in time
we couldnt find a place that night.
we were lost, and stuck together
we were lost with ourselves
and we were lost with each other
- Mountain Halo
Father now, listen close
you have become another ghost, just like me
now flowers fall from your glass
the bitter taste, the girl is back, in dancing lights
dancing lights, the flowers fall, the bitter taste
the glass is full, an empty hand
- On Reflection
he steps away from his car with a song. he was wrong. he should have known all along. with wary eyes and uncertain grin. fall out. i saved your voice. trouble. that outstretched hand you had to shake. you sell out. you could have had your choice. but broke away the turnstile. fall out. your friends are toys. in time. that outstretched hands you had to shake. will sell you out. and leave your wreck
- Peregrine
On your own, come back
give a call, contact
so alive, sidetracked
so alone, come back
decide
i don't know
what to do to show you
- Remedios The Beautiful
looking for doorways and finding halls
windows and walls
and outside the sun.
never stops shining.
leaves never fall.
these hands never failed you.
can't see too far.
can't see too well.
- sinking
I get the feeling that I’m sinking in you. Your hands go through me as I’m trying to think back on a better time. Like watching water in a rising tide. You’d not know me right now, you’d think that I was a man wanting to drown. Shaking words in my fists, pointing to all of the things that I won’t resist. Pouring out my heart and pouring one more drink to keep it calm. Because I think I’ve hit the brink and this is all I can take, to keep going on.
- South Col
no more imiitation
no releasing grant
no more imitation
echoed conversation
no releasing grant
call it resonation
the killer is in ourselves.
- steps and numbers
Are you wishing on a star.
Did you know your dreams are sold.
To people who dream only of gold.
They'll find a way to pull stars down.
Stand there.
Dance with a memory.
The caption reads it's all over now.
Do you feel alone in the secret.
- Storms
best guess is that we don't make it to 2000.
that a solar event takes us by surprise in 99.
that's what our best guess is.
analytically.
that we're not gonna...
that the Y2K problem is gonna be overcome by other events.
well, they don't call you doctor doom for nothing...
- Sunlit And Ascending
Common places
Haunted past
With all the woods now gone
I knew it wouldn't last
All the faces are question marks
Up and down the street
Looking down the block
- The Last Ring
This sacred word
This sideways phrase
These pieces let me down
It's what this waking heart will find
And I watch for why
As if it might just now
Suddenly appear
It's what these weighted hands will find empty of this pen
