Here In Time
03:56
|
|||
i cut my hair to watch it fall
i had no fear
i spent the day in the sun
i never thought the day would come
when tides would be turning
goldfish swim circles in my head
they're always there
they leave their memories behind
we'll never get out of here in time
we'll never get out...
i spent the night on the floor
so solitary
i woke with thoughts of you
the curtain's drawn, the lights are out
we're unprepared
once more our arms lead the race

Caged Warning
04:12
|
|||
smoke stacks breathe inside your head
far from home, close in hand
bait them to the waiting gate
all roads lead to the water
caged warning in the darkest mine
first in, last to survive
anchor your pennyweights
ankle-deep in subjection
this fog will clear...
clouds part, the sky overhead
signals a sweltering tide
open the guilded gates
let the roads flood with water

Creaky Pipes
03:24
|
|||
i saw an old man
pushing a gurney
outside a funeral home
and it was empty
pipe the water in
pipe the water in
underground
truck the water in
truck the water in
from out of town
pipe the water in
pipe the water in
underground
speckled mushroom caps
lie severed on the lawn
the smell of poison
foretold by a sign
the pipes creak and shake...

Into The Cold Quiet
04:40
|
|||
when the ship and the plane
depart the coast settles
thankfully into the cold quiet
as seasons pass
when we're home the cat knows
when storms approach the cat knows
when it hurts the cat knows
when we're at fault the cat knows
what then, will follow?

With Diligence
03:33
|
|||
he can't fight them
he won't fight them
until they're gone
their will is strong
their ties and bonds
too tight to break
all the years of
work and pain
in an instant
get taken away
it won't catch on
your words will fall
upon deaf ears
he makes amends
with diligence
their lies run deep
they're sound asleep
behind the gates
it bends and breaks
you've raised the stakes
this is a losing game

Weak Little Sickling
03:06
|
|||
you act entitled
but i won't participate
it's not me not me not me not me
a bent bow
a bent bow
pulls back on its own
archer's hand
archer's hand
you want me to say yes
but i'm not nihilistic
that's not me not me not me not me
it's not me
it's not me
you expect perfection
but i'm in another place
i'm not here not here not here not here not here
i'm not here
i'm not here

Coat Of Arms
03:23
|
|||
you thought you saw a reflection
but turned to find i was gone
coat of arms
coat of arms
your tired eyes look so forlorn
my hands have never been so cold
your socks are grey as the concrete
my mind's made up
i won't look back
you know i won't let them get you
we'll hide together in this cold

Atoms Remind Us
03:40
|
|||
this place has stood here for so long
decades of fires burning inside and out
it's been a factory
the shuffling feet on the stone floors
echoes of motors and
the grinding chains working on their own
tunnel underground
lover meet there
this place has stood here for so long
decades of fires burning inside and out
damp and crumbling walls
a skeleton beneath the windswept street
broken bottles, empty lots
and piles of refuse are what's left
behind
the air's not clean, but we still breathe
atoms remind us...

Moths
04:04
|
|||
so we've found a new planet
and we're all going to live there
the gravity's but i'm sure we'll
get used to it
pack up your clothes and say
goodbye to your family
there is no other way
moths in a circle
and they tell me to follow
the air in this room
is so hard to breathe
how can i go to the light
if i don't
believe that it's real
and in a dream
we would be here
every day
under the willows
walk across the river
in bare feet
step lightly
in through the out door
revolving and unending
eat what you're given
and do what you're told
invest in a future so
unsustainable
there is no time left
for you to grow old
|
||||
10. |
||||
a frame of mind
that's lost in time
on an escarpment
just standing there
you felt their fear
you felt the woods speak
on their own
if we keep our eyes closed
they'll never find us
the wind calls out
don't leave me now
there's nothing left here
the path was worn
right through the stone
this time you're out here
on your own
knives are falling from the sky...
the pines will weep
the highway bellows
deep in the night
the darkest light
sings oh so quietly
on their own

The Accusation
05:23
|
|||
this is a mistake
this was not
done by my hand
the accusation was not
sincere or planned
with his teeth bared
anxiously waits
for the end
with his teeth clenched
closed eyes
nervous legs
how did it come to this?
pouring rain
broken fist
the accusation was not
sincere or planned...
there's a light ahead
at the foot of a hill
and i hope that
it takes me home
and i hope
you're there
