Breakerfall
Ah There's a girl on a ledge who's got nowhere to turn Cause all the love that she had was just wood that she burned Now her life is on fire, it's no one's concern She can blame the world or pray till dawn But only love can break her fall Break her fall Yeah, only love can break her fall Fall It's like she lost her invitation to the party on earth And she's standing outside hating everyone here Yeah, she's her own disease, crying to her doll But only love can break her fall Break her fall Only love can break her fall Yeah Yeah, fall The world is her fall Break her fall Love, love, love can break her fall Who? Now only love can break her fall Love, love, love can break her fall Fall Love, love can break her fall Only love can break her
God's Dice
It's out of my hands making your hands meet We stumble, rises crumbling out of reach It's in the cards of destiny your sanity in tow Designate my luck Uh resignate This power has no roots to guide No role Trust me Rusted minds refuse to go Unwillingness is meaningless to walk away in vain Designate my will Ah, designate my fill Ah resignate My will is crashing Synapses flashing slow Ah, days like frame by frame Where do they go? Ah yeah, why fight? Forget it Cannot spend it after I go Roll them high Throw them again All god's dice Monkey driven Call this living? Ha Ah, too much though, it's overwrought a hole Yeah, minding yours what's mine not yours Will finish us off Ah, designate my life Ah, designate my view Ah, resignate my will, my will, my will, I will Resignate my god
Evacuation
The sirens scream wanton attention Time to take heed and change direction Time to take stock and make omissions Evacuation Evacuation Time to take leave all formal functions Time to plant seeds of a reconstruction No time this time to feign reluctance It's like your waiting for a diamond shore to wash your way Bets put aside you're evil Lets crawl into your face A vision vague or not raising a frightful wake you up Time for evacuation Evacuation... There was a solemn man Watched his twilight disappear In the sand Altered by a falling eagle A warning sign Sign He sensed that worry could be strength with a plan he said "Time for evacuation" Evacuation...
Light Years
I've used hammers made out of wood I have played games with pieces and rules I undeciphered tricks at the bar, but now you're gone I haven't figured out why I've come up with riddles and jokes about war I figured out numbers and what they're for I've understood feelings and I've understood words But how could you be taken away? And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go It don't seem fair Today just disappeared Your light reflected now Reflected from afar We were but stones Your light made of stars With heavy breath awakened regrets Back pages and days that could have been spent together But we were miles apart Every inch between us becomes light years now No time to be void or save up on life Oh, you got to spend it all And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go It don't seem fair You seam to like it here Your light reflected now Reflected from afar We were but stones Your light made of stars And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go It don't seem fair Today just disappeared Your lights reflected now Reflected from afar We were by stones Your light made of stars
Nothing As It Seems
Don't feel like home He's a little out And all these words elope It's nothing like your poem Putting in Inputting in Don't feel like methadone A scratching voice all alone It's nothing like your baritone It's nothing as it seems The little that he needs It's home The little that he sees Is nothing he concedes It's home One uninvited chromosome A blanket like the ozone It's nothing as it seems All that he needs It's home The little that he frees Is nothing he believes Saving up a sunny day Something maybe two tone Anything of his own A chip off the corner stone Who's kidding? Rainy day A one way ticket headstone Occupations overthrown A whisper through a megaphone It's nothing as it seems The little that he needs It's home The little that he sees Is nothing he concedes It's home And all that he frees A little bittersweet It's home It's nothing as it seems The little that you see It's home
Thin Air
There's a light, when my baby's in my arms There's a light, when the window shades are drawn Hesitate when I feel I may do harm to her Wash it off cause this feeling we can share And I know she's reached my heart in thin air Byzantine is reflected in our pond There's a cloud, but the water remains calm Reaching in the suns fingers clutch the dawn to pass Even out, it's a precious thing to bear And I know she's reached my heart in thin air Yes, I know she's reached my heart in thin air It's not in my past to presume Love can keep on moving in both directions How to be happy and true is quest we're taking on together Take it on, on, on, on, on Take it on, on, on, on, on There's a light when my baby's in my arms And I know she's reached my heart in thin air And I know she's reached my heart in thin air And I know she's reached my heart in thin air Yes, I know she's reached my heart
Insignificance
All in all it's no one's fault Excuses turn to carbon walls Blame it all on chemical intercourse The swallowed seeds of arrogance Breeding in the thoughts of ten-thousand Fools that fight irrelevance The full moon is dead skin The one down here's wearing thin So set up the ten pins as the human tide rolls in Like a ball that's spinning Bombs dropping down overhead On the ground It's instilled to want to live Bombs dropping down Please forgive our hometown in our insignificance "Turn the jukebox up" he said Dancing in irreverence Play C-3 Let the song protest The plates began to shift Perfect lefts come rolling in I was alone and far away, hey When I heard the band start playing On the lip they take off Bombs dropping down overhead Underground It's instilled to want to live Bombs dropping down Please forgive our hometown in our insignificance Feel like resonance of distance In the blood the iron lies It's instilled to want to live Bombs dropping down Please forgive our hometown in our insignificance Oh, in our insignificance, oh
Of The Girl
Oh, he deals them off of the top Ties them off Fills it up with his past Gets carried away Oh half his life a hand me down wasted away Oh he fills it up with the love of a girl Oh, he left it alone Drilled the pain with money to buy How he makes his getaway How he makes his getaway Oh he chose a path Heavy the fall Quarter to four Fills his night with the thought of a girl How he makes his getaway How he makes his getaway How he makes his getaway Get away
Grievance
Have a drink, they're buying Bottom of bottle of denial Big eye Big eye watching me Have to wonder what it sees Progress laced with ramifications Freedom's been pushed Oh Pull the innocent from a crowd Raise those sticks, then bring them down If they fail to obey Ah, if they fail to obey Yeah, yeah For every tool they lend us a loss of independence I pledge my grievance to the flag Cause you don't give blood then take it back again Oh we're all deserving something more Progress taste it invest it all Champagne breakfast for everyone Everyone Break the innocent when they're proud Raise those stakes then bring them down If they fail to obey Yeah, ha, if they fail to obey Pledge your grievance to the flag Cause, don't give blood then take it back again Oh, we're all deserving something more Have a, have a drink, drink Have a, have a drink, drink I want to breathe part of the scene I want to taste everyone I see I want to run when I'm up high I want to run to the sea I want to life to be I just want to be I will feel alive as long as I am free
Rival
All my rivals will see what I have in store, my gun I've been harboring fleets in this reservoir, red sun And this nation's about to explode You're disciples are riddled with metaphors, well hung Better pony up and bring both your barrels full, not one As we release this unspeakable toll Woo How's our mother to damn these contributors, with mud? How will the man who made chemicals difficult shed blood? How's our father supposed to be told? I don't Whoa
Sleight Of Hand
Routine was the theme He'd wake up wash and pour himself into uniform Something he hadn't imagined being As the merging traffic passed He found himself staring down at his own hands Not remembering the change Not recalling the plan Was it? He was okay but wondering about wandering Was it age by consequence Or was he moved by sleight of hand? Mondays were made to fall Lost on a road he knew by heart It was like a book he read in his sleep Endlessly Sometimes he hid in the radio Watching others pull into their homes While he was drifting On a line of his own Off the line of the side Bye the by As dirt turned to sand As if moved by sleight of hand When he reached the shore of his clip on world He resurfaced to the norm Organized his few things His coat and keys And he knew realizations would have to wait Till he had more time More time A time to dream to himself He waves goodbye to his self I'll see you on the other side Another man moved by slight of hand
Soon Forget
Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette Thinks he'll get the girl he'll only get the mechanic What's missing? He's living a day he'll soon forget That's one more time around The sun is going down The moon is out but he's drunk and shouting Putting people down He's pissing He's living a day he'll soon forget Counts his money every morning The only thing that keeps him horny Locked in a giant house that's alarming The townsfolk they all laugh Sorry is the fool who trades his love for hi-rise rent Seem the more you make equals the loneliness you get And it's fitting He's barely living a day he'll soon forget That's one more time around and there is not a sound He's lying dead clutching Benjamins Never put the money down He's stiffening We're all whistling a man we'll soon forget
Parting WaysBehind her eyes there's curtains And they've been closed to hide the flames Remains She know their futures burning But she can smile just the same, same And though her mood is fine today There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways Standing like a statue A chin of stone a heart of clay Hey And thought he's too big a man to say There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways Drifting away Drifting away Drifting away Away Away Drifting away Drifting away Drifting away Away Away
