Cannon Fear
03:23
|
|||
Tonight the diggers scrape the walls in search of their lost loves
The old painters brush shakes so he hesitates
Leaving the canvas blank, white won't wash away
Here, wide eyed cannon fear
Wish I'd disappear from their eyes
Tonight the streets are emptied out, widow crying in her sleep
The last book on her shelf, memoir of uncertainties
Five hundred pages blank, white won't run away
(like all the others did, nobody ever stays)
Here, wide eyed cannon fear
Wish I'd disappear from their eyes

Swell

Shades of dark blue held together with glue
White paint dribbles over the sky
The roof of your chevy, our hearts warm and heavy
Nothing to prove just stare at the stars
Wouldn't it be nice to freeze this moment
Watch ourselves under the dim lit sky
Remember this is a gift that can't ever be replaced by love at first site
If this is goodbye, sun show me the light
Arrows sketched into the sidewalk, no sign or destination, pedaling our feet
Clueless, young and naive, our dreams to far to reach
Just the gravel underneath
Wouldn't it be nice to freeze this moment
Watch ourselves under the dim lit sky
Remember this is a gift that can't ever be replaced by love at first site
It can't stay this way forever, we'll change
With rings on our hands pleasure has vanished and is stacked between our trophies and scars
We finally know the feeling is never coming back, stapled to nostalgia walls
We're nothing but sampled sounds, commercial clowns
A bad example, the life that we never wanted to lead, sugar coated for all to see
To the one's who are safe in their homes
To the one's who are locking their doors
We're coming in
We're marching in
Wouldn't it be nice to freeze this moment
Watch ourselves under the dim lit sky
Remember this is a gift that can't ever be replaced by love at first site
If this is goodbye, sun show me the light

Foundations

Fight the war
Don't you go running from your heart
Save yourself
Don't you go finding yourself
Who are you?
Who are you?
Bottomless, foundations in doubt
Who are you?
Blend into the county lines
No one tries to define
Idleness, before nothing lay your path, open wide
Oh stretching mysterious arms
Unwinding to choose the unknown
Now they have said
(we're stuck in between the dirt and the heavens)
Who are you?
Who are you?
Bottomless, foundations in doubt
Who are you?

Fugitive

With a talking bird on my shoulder
With an army in my lens
I will fight the war within myself, dragging innocent citizens
I'll go down, straight down in history winning by a landslide
To the water where their carrying the remains, we clap and cry
The chorus chants grow louder and louder
Parents covering up their kids
I look far into the distance, loneliness feels like a sin
I'll go to hell, I'll fail the ministry, losing by a landslide
To the water where their carrying the remains, they clap and cry

Sheep's Paradise
04:45
|
|||
Sleepless on the county lines, teetered on the edge
Twenty years spent comfortable, submissive and kind
Anchored in safe water
Further down
Into the sea
I drift away helplessly
Wake up the sound of sheep impulsively
Outlining their paradise, fake smiles and tea
(without me)
I drift away

North

Heart turned into stone, leak flooded my home
Stem turned into leaf, there's beauty in deceit
Tree's don't sway, blue sky covered in dust
Hope hanging to fall, buildings scripting the sun
Can't fit these feelings between the lines
The writer in me left when you arrived
Given as a gift, traded for my conscience
Embedded in your arms
Turned love into fact, made fiction an artifact
Quoting words I once knew, memory sustains where I left off
In younger days the scene has changed
I can see beauty in itself
Can't trust these memories of autumn and Christmas eve
I've followed them through the summer heat, through the changing of leaves
Now all I have is moments, these glorified silences
