Watch It Burn
03:54
|
|||
|
Go back inside
Where the flames are licking
Change your stripes
Change your stars
But the clock is ticking
You’re paralyzed but don’t think twice
If you want to gain control
Drag it out
Or let it take you whole
Relight the fire within
Hold a match to the world
Shed your skin
Watch it burn
Go back in time
Fight for your life
I know you feel it
Reach for the knife
Follow the red line
Reopen the wound
And dig for the bullet
Made up your mind
To fly through the window
Watch your life from a cloud
While northeast winds blow
Blood sacrifice
But where else can find
What you’ve left behind
Relight the fire within
Hold a match to the world
Shed your skin
Watch it burn!
Go back in time
Fight for your life
I know you feel it
Reach for the knife
Follow the red line
Reopen the wound
And dig for the bullet
This house is on fire
Your heart is on fire
It’s down to the wire
Go back in time
Fight for your life
I know you feel it
Reach for the knife
Follow the red line
Reopen the wound
And dig for the bullet
Follow the red line
Follow the red line
Follow the red line
And dig for the bullet

Eye of the Storm
04:02
|

|
Questions I ask myself
I sense the squall
Out where the shadows dwell
And the music swells
Doubts always show themselves
Right where the axe has felled
The tree of life
Do you see the light?
In the eye of the storm
I walk away
Just as clouds take form
I find my place
Now I know the score
I walk away
With every breath I take
I find my place
Questions of promises
Why do we hurt the ones we love?
How can I make it right?
Is it worth the fight?
In the eye of the storm
I walk away
Just as clouds take form
I find my place
On this quest for more
I walk away
My head is clear
I feel the ground beneath my feet
Whisper in your ear
But you can’t hear the sound or taste the sweet
Things quiet down
No trace where wind and water meet
I cannot take it
when it’s all pulling at seams…
In the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm
I walk away
Just as clouds take form
I find my place
On this quest for more
I walk away
With every breath I take
I find my place
I find my place

Portland
03:47
|
|||
|
I will travel lightly
I see that your eyes are sore
There will be no witnesses
To speak or greet it anymore
I will marry badly
I will sell my fortune there
I won’t need it where I’m going
Babe, I’ll get on out of your hair
I don’t need your pity
I don’t need a ride
I have found my edges
Tracking down that line
I’ll go down to Portland
I hear they’ve got bridges there
I’ve got water to send flowing under our affair
I have been vagrant
I’ve been on the road for days
I forgot my name
To forget your face
I don’t need your pity
I don’t need a ride
I have found my edges
Tracking down that line
City skyline
Where the late sun shines
So I don’t mind the rain
If it’ll wash me clean again
I don’t need your pity
I don’t need a ride
I have found my edges
Tracking down that line
I’ll go down to Portland
I hear they’ve got bridges there
I’ve got water to send flowing under our affair

Echoing Sound
04:40
|
|||
|
Eyes black
It was strange how you saw
Right through my human skin
I’m intact but
I check my zipper again
Contact
With a smile like a sneer
You ask is that your natural hair
A crack in the mask
A grab and a dash
Mouth slack, you up and disappear.
I am worlds away
Slipping between time and space
Traveled to that day
When the pearl was found
In a psychic cave
A warning dissolves from my mouth…
Back track
A panic looking around
Bounce back
The wreath of time is flat
I tack, headed out on the sound
Is it a curse or a gift?
A miss or a hit?
I crave that opalescent swirl
I spotted a glint of light on the waves
Of Cosmic beaches
I am worlds away
Slipping between time and space
Traveled to that day
When the pearl was found
In a psychic cave
A warning dissolves from my mouth
In the echoing sound
Is it a curse or a gift?
A miss or a hit ?
I crave that opalescent swirl
I spotted a glint of light on the waves
Of Cosmic beaches
I am worlds away
Slipping between time and space
Traveled to that day
When the pearl was found
In a psychic cave
A warning dissolves from my mouth
In the echoing sound
Will you be OK
You hold the weight of all my fears
I’m not from this place
And the danger is real
Would you wear my face?
A warning dissolves from my mouth
In the echoing sounds

Piece

Coming home to a rage
She’s in a million pieces
Mass destruction of an age
We’ve got a million reasons
Lose the battle, win the the war
I will sign this treaty
With just one look you slam the door
Say your peace, I’m leaving
Release the doves and don the wool
I will keep my sights up
Expecting me to be your fool
No, I keep my sights up
I go along with your ruse
Still, I keep my sights up
The olive branch
It's in my hand
In my hand
In my hand..
Behind my back
Cus she's got a gun and a plan
It’s in my hand behind my back
It’s my last chance to be a man
In a home under attack
Shes got a plan
And she's got a gun
She's got a gun
Amass the forces you command
Speaking a new language
Creep into our marriage bed
Feeling comply naked
Still my love, you are a gem
Rough cut, you are shining
You lost the glint of tenderness
With the coal your mining
Release the doves and don the wool
I will keep my sights up
Expecting me to be your fool
No, I keep my sights up
I go along with your ruse
Still, I keep my sights up
The olive branch
It's in my hand
In my hand
In my hand..
Behind my back
Cus she's got a gun and a plan
It’s in my hand behind my back
It’s my last chance to be a man
In a home under attack
Shes got a plan
And she's got a gun
She's got a gun
She's got a
The olive branch is in my hand
But I have to keep it behind my back
Think you’re foolin me
Miss white flag
She’s got a gun and a plan
So I keep my sights up
She’s got a plan
And she's got a gun

The Changeling
04:21
|

|
Climb through the white
Breach the tomb
Of the ancient tribe
To seek the spire
It’s effortless
I slip inside
They said the first men
All Stood up on two legs
To serve the doctrine
Or get cast out!
Struck down instead
Come home my son…
A line, divide
Scarring over
A soul climbs outside
This blade of light
Carves away
These family ties
Prepare the thread they said
Consume the bread, bless his head
Come sire the children
But this changeling is seeing red
Come home my son
I am turning
Come home my son
But I turn, I turn and run
Bitterness
I am fatherless
Bitterness
I am fatherless
I am fatherless
Prepare the thread they said
Consume the bread Bless his head
You serve the doctrine
Or get cast out
Struck down instead
Come home, my son
But I am turning
Come home, my son
But I turn
I turn and run
Worshiping..
They are worshiping..
At the alter..
Scarring over…

Eagle
06:18

Eye like an eagle
Fire light
Hindsight
Doubt takes flight
Smoke on the skyline
Marry my alibi
Play both sides
Follow me, follow me down
I’ll be lost, I'll be found
My regret, Capulet
Hedge your bet
Gloves of champion
Who do you fight?
Tiger stripe, subtle slight
Right by your side
Calm in the morning
Spider bite, silent strike
I have the right!
Follow me, follow me down
I’ll be Lost, i’ll be found
Letter press, scarlet
Hedge your bet
Follow me down
Follow me down
Underground
Underground
Oooo
I can’t say I will stay….

Aconite

I am a child
Toe dipped in the riptide
Eyes bright, mouth wide
Hands tied, on trial
Try find the answer in the lie
Wolf bite, sleep tight
I’ll vaccinate you
Desiccate you
I’m tired
Lay me down to the sound
Of the coming age
Lay down your innocence
There’s no cure for the truth
Entombing your youth
Lay down your arrogance
There’s a child in the dark
A ghost in your heart
Salt stings when you blink
Undercurrent brings
You to the brink
Resigned to your fate
At the silent alter, still I wait
Wolf bite, sleep tight
I’ll vaccinate you
Desiccate you
I’m tired
Lay me down to the sound
Of the coming age
Lay down your innocence
There’s no cure for the truth
Entombing your youth
Lay down your arrogance
There’s a child in the dark
A ghost in your heart
Wolfs bane is my name
Wolfs bane is my name
Wolfs bane is my name
Ohhhhhhhh…
Aconite!
What is real?
What is right?

The Beach
05:19
|

|
Car tracks in the sand
So you wanna be a one man band
Your mates smash in the van
While your nerves do the can can
Later on
She’s at the fire with a fan
You’re just standing there
With your dick in your hand
Fever pitch and when you land
She’s got a brand new man
On the beach, by the sea
At the SeaTac the mood swells
On the beach, just out of reach
You see a sunk ship set sail
Oh well
Broken glass, only takes cash
With a white flag flown half mast
Next year on the pier
Will you be there
Holding my hand?
On the beach by the sea
At the SeaTac the mood swells
On the beach, just out of reach
You see a sunk ship set sail
All singing
Make waves
Make waves
Will you say goodbye
To me today?
Make waves
Make waves
Just seize the day
I’m frustrated
Frustrated and out on my ass
I'm cross faded
With a lead foot on the gas
Because nothing lasts!
Singing make waves
Make waves
Will you say goodbye
To me today
Make waves
Make waves
Please say goodbye to me
On the beach by the sea
At the SeaTac the mood swells
On the beach, just out of reach
You see a sunk ship set sail
Oh well

Bad Connection
04:47
|

|
Your hesitation…
Catching you on the fly
Slept at the station
With your favorite lie
Well my love
When you come home fucked up
And get tough
You’re breaking up…
My hesitation
I called you to say goodbye
Couldn’t look you in the eye
Oh my love
When you come home fucked up
And get tough
Well tonight I've had enough
You’re breaking up
I broke your favorite mug
You’re breaking up
From a bad connection
Oh what for
These signatures
To break our lease
With hardwood floors
And our cat
You’re angry that
We shaved off all its fur
Go flushing
All diamond rings
I'm twirling in the cord
All these kinks
That clog our sink
Go smashing on the floor
I called you at the last pay phone booth
But it did not go through
Out on the platform
The waxing moon forms an arc
As I fade in the dark
You’re breaking up
I broke your favorite mug
You’re breaking up
From a bad connection
