Seeing Stars
03:46
|

How do you change a mind?
I'm so tired of losing time
When did it go so south?
My foot is in my mouth
Every single time
I'm guilty of some crime
So many little lies
I tell myself so well
Found my voice
But not my mind
I've had these dreams
For all my life
Seeing stars
They're in my eyes
Falling Faster
Down the slide
How do I save my mind?
It's so long past time
Let all that anger out
And kill that doubt
How do you see yourself?
You've played the part so well
To be a shining light
Takes some time to get it right
Found some time
To calm my mind
I feel it still
The fear and guilt
I'm a soldier
But the ammo's dry
Well, I've got my hands and
I've got my knife
Help me, Athena
I need your light
Your grey-eyed gaze
Is on my mind
So long, I've been wading through the night
So long, I've been waiting for the light

Stagger and Spin
03:38
|
|||
Hamsters in their wheels
Tire rubber squeals
On this rock that spins
Leaf on the wind
Brittle moments pass
Scattered like glass
Pieces of our souls
Left in this place
I could smell your perfume
Standing like a statue
Stumbling to the bathroom
Shot into the vacuum
Circuits in the place
Five dollar face
Clowns all in their cars
Claimed all the stars
Faster than the wind
Stagger and Spin
In this peaceful place
Try not to wake
I can smell your perfume
Staring like a soldier
Listening from the next room
Sucked into the vacuum

Smoke and Mirrors
03:32
|
|||
All my life I've had these diamonds in my eyes
Trying to see beyond the shine
Edging closer to the chasm of my mind
Leave my problems where they lie
Fall asleep
Grind your teeth
Clarity
Wait and see
There's a pinprick in the back of my mind
All my life I've had to wonder why
You're misunderstanding me
Saw the traffic from the overpass
Made my choices and I picked myself last
I've been waiting for the train to come to rest
Lost my way, I think I failed some test
Penitence
I'm on the fence
To be free
Is what I need
There's a nagging in the back of my mind
There is something in your eyes
You're misunderstanding me

Lines
02:55
|

Where the lines lie
Let's toss them aside
Break the limelight
There's nowhere to hide
Take a wild swipe
To swat down their lies
Takes a child's eyes
To see all the signs
You've gotta be strange
To win at this game
You've gotta have steel
To keep it this real
When the lion's share
Is high in the sky
Let the lines blur
And open your eyes
Let your light shine
Out into the night
It's a high crime
To sleep through this life
You've gotta be strange
To win at this game
You've gotta have steel
To keep it this real

Pareidolia
03:20
|
|||
I see what I want to see
Pareidolia, Pareidolia
Tracing your face through the darkness
Pareidolia, Pareidolia
I'm only sometimes
The monster in your closet
And only sometimes
The angel on your shoulder
Whenever I"m blue
I'm looking for you
And when I feel grand
I reach for your hand
I see you in front of me
Pareidolia, Pareidolia
Looking into your eyes
Pareidolia, Pareidolia
You're only sometimes
The moon I'm looking up at
And only sometimes
The stream I'm staring into
Whenever I cry
I feel so alive
I hope I can stay
I'm looking your way
But I will see what I'm meant to see
Moving forward, moving forward
And you can see everything in me
Going forward, going forward

Head Underwater
04:15
|
|||
Asleep on the floor
Anxious for more
What was it all for?
Open my door
Try not to wander
Head underwater
Just like my father
Head underwater
Feet on the floor
Eyes looking forward
Stuck on the tracks
Lost in the stack
Don't be a bother
Head underwater
Run from the monster
Head underwater
Out on the surface
Of the moon
Running in circles
I'll see you soon, I'll see you soon
Put on a record
Be a cartoon
Tell me a story
Believe in me, I believe in you
We are the children of the defeated
See everything for all of the pieces
Beautiful things live on the horizon
Look for the strength to go out and find them
Keep afloat

To Be Loved
02:50
|
|||
To be loved
Is to be unafraid
To be loved
Is to be understood
To be loved
It is to be saved
How I need
All this love in my world
Please don't mind me
I'm just addicted to your soul
It's never enough for me
So give your love to me
To be loved
Is to be protected
To be loved
Is to be seen
To be loved
Is to be resurrected
How I love
What you're saying to me
Please ignore me
I'm just attracted to your heart
So give your love to me
It's never enough for me

Falling Leaves
04:15
|
|||
Eyes like honeycombs
Fates we'll never know
They depend on us
In defense of us
Heard that silly sound
It was frozen underground
But we dug it out
And now I found out
I don't ever want to be
Pulling ever on your strings
I can never fall asleep
With the shoes still on my feet
Eyes are all aglow
The serpent sleeps below
But it frowns on us
And it dawns on us
Slumbering silhouettes
Keeping their regrets
Tightly wrapped
So mind the gap
I don't ever want to see
What was never meant for me
I've been rolling up my sleeves
Trying to catch the falling leaves
I think I'll stick around
Keep this weary carcass upright
For now
See all them sinking down
Cannot save them all, but you can still hold out your hands
For now
Spinning like a carousel
They can't shut you in or shut you out, you're alright
For now
Hope is all I have to keep
Feel my head ache and my hands shake, but my pulse grows louder
For now

Spider on the Wall
05:13
|
|||
Please accept my apology
Elegance is not for me
Still I'm searching
Always searching
Like a frightened animal
Watching like a sentinel
Eyes are open
To the broken
Falling faster
Method actor
Pure devotion
Endless ocean
Like a fortress
Eyes so torturous
Pull me under
Rolling thunder
There's a spider on my wall
Got this pain that starts so small
Sticks to me and eats me whole
Wash me clean and shelf my skull
Please refrain from sympathy
Providence is not for me
Choking, gasping
Fingers grasping
Eyes are darting all around
Friends departed underground
Aristocracy
Mediocrity
Climbing higher
Blazing fire
Pure emotion
Big explosion
Moral fiber
Sharp incisors
Always gnashing
Systems crashing
I'm the spider on your wall
Got this pain inside us all
Hold me close and keep me whole
Wash me clean and save my soul
---------------------------------------------------
I clamber to the riverside
I'm all but empty and dead inside
I hear them clearly
The river's cries
They're speaking to me
For all my lies
Hear the voices
Intertwined
The truth, it hits me
I start to cry
Om
So, so long I'll go searching for your light
So, so long I'll go bravely through the night

By the River
02:33
|
|||
Found myself out by the river
Helping travelers safely cross
Now I listen for the answers
Beckoned forth by the river's call
Now I know what you are thinking
That this is all another ruse
I understand your reasoning
The river courses its way through you
Don't be a stranger
Fellow wayward soul
I'll be here listening
Dragged away by the river's pull
