Home

And it starts
the cracks in the cement, the falling sky
our eyes keep glowing, now down we go
follow us if you want to survive
where we meet
you'll find is where you we're headed
and far, far from home
you're not alone
so if you change your mind
sleepy child in your lacy crib
it's coming, it's coming on
soon it's coming home

Here We Are, Where Are We?

Where can we rest?
When does this ground stop it's motion?
Now you're holding my hand
I'm in your bed
There is a song stuck in my head
but I can't sing it aloud
I find out how
You breath in numbers when you sleep
This humors me and you find a way in
Hey, how have you been?
before I knew you?
What was the last note you played?
Is it okay if I stayed?
Take a look outside, the sun is rising
I am smiling, can you tell I am hiding?
The wrinkles in your sheets I am happy to meet
as long as you're next to me
as long as you're next to me
as long as your
body is close to mine, just this time
but you should probably know
there is a crack in your ceiling
and I can't help but thinking
if the crack in mine gives you the same feeling
because this whole city is falling apart
and I find beauty in the shape it makes
the risk we're willing to take
the loud noises beyond the window gate
the way it puts you to sleep
and our palms meet
touching neck to feet
it's all beautiful to me
the lines from the light through your window
projected like paper on the wall
I write to you sincerely
Were you here all along?
p.s. Will we last through this song? Do you already know?
If so, let me go
If so, wait a few moments if you're willing
So I can paint the crack on your ceiling
I find it surprisingly appealing
I'll frame it perfectly, hang it next to mine
can you walk me home now please,
if you don't mind?

Poorly Wrapped Sore

So tie me to the trunk of the trees we've planted
I've seen the world in every way but today it's slightly slanted
and your eyes sparkle like rust in the sun
I've found a reason to believe it's just begun
Yeah the moon never looked at me quite like this before
tonight I'm the apple and you're the seedy gritty core
tomorrow we'll stick together like a poorly wrapped sore
and find our chance to follow through with this war

So it seems,
we've gathered stones and ink
bagged them up, watched them fly then sink
and it's so hard to believe we didn't even try
to feel up our pride and say good-bye
nature as we're told is just a few billion years old
according to these wheezing trees we've grown
but we've raised our ignorant fists with pride towards the sun
it proved a few billion means we've only just begun
so welcome home, welcome home, welcome home
You've finally made it here
The kitchen is a mess and the water is not clear
I am your wrecking ball waiting at the end of the night
to help justify these operations and satisfy this pointless fight
and your eyes sparkle like rust in the sun
we wiped our hands and blamed the speechless ones
I've found a reason to believe it's all just begun
So step away and lay down that loaded gun

Yeah the moon never looked at me quite like this before
Tonight I'm the apple and you're the seedy gritty core
unchain these questions and unlock that door
tomorrow we'll stick together like a poorly wrapped sore
and find our chance to follow through with this war

Noose

You find it
scraping like gravel against your face
everything you think you know
is lost, not misplaced
i think I fell in love
I think I lost the war
but if there was nothing there
what am i searching for?
I found a fossil of truth
battered and abused
Left to be discovered
hanging by your fucking noose
and this time I'm discovering
that you covered up your tracks
you're not turning back
and this long treck is over
destination truth
No hands to hold
No heart to own
Fuck, I'm alone
Thought I'd make it back home
thought I'd make it well known
I've worn the armor I've out grown
so don't think of me darling
that old noose i've untied
if you're hiding your heart
I'd be searching for lies
cause we both know you've lost it
and I've lost interest in clues
I'm leaving this war tonight
and accepting we both loose

Always Wins

Looking at the world, I finally have time
to put myself aside
and here I rest in this broken chair
wondering what I'm doing here
I've taken a chance, opened my heart
now he's going far and here we are
I am
sorry but I'm not sorry enough
I did what I could and now it is time to erupt
and he ghosts this world without a past
to paint all the colors he's been trying to cast
and I'll paint him spreading that uncertain smile
something I've longed to see for a while
with myself put aside
I carve every root with a lie
because I know the world as it seems
and he was all I would ever need
accepting enough is never enough
but sometimes life make the truth rough
and this city once promised more
with all it's colors all I can see are doors
and this broken chair I rest in
Has become my dearest friend and,
The truth wins in the end, it always wins in the end
So, rock away my friend

Shouldn't it?

There is this place we find ourselves
standing alone
no bottle to hold
and the world seems so strange just then
the roundness is now flattened
and every song falls apart
like an off beat heart
what's going on?
it won't be long till we all crack
imperfection is a big come-back
looking at old photographs
everything was such a god damn laugh
but we lost touch and settled down
tell me, are you happy now?
sitting on your settled couch?
wondering where you'd be now
if they never told you how
when or why
you're supposed to die?
and while our poor souls are driven by fear
running away to be far from here
here becomes our buried jars
hiding who we really are
and soon we all realize there's no turning back
for your own good remember that
those empty eyes we stare into
had every intention to follow through
had every intention to remember you
standing alone
with not a thing to hold
but listen,
hold on anyway
you're supposed to die, sometime
we're all supposed to die
doesnt matter when or why
shouldn't just knowing that
make you
feel more alive?

Goodbye Sandbox

Flickering, static
feeling the vibrations
around me
following footsteps
of strangers
found myself headed towards no where
but this place
was once
my battleground
now i'm running
headed towards
nowhere
to find something
that will
prove that i've
done nothing wrong
and your singing
matches my heart beat
and the noise from the churches
tickle my ear drums
but im listening
to everyone
everywhere
following them all
headed no where
but the thing
i find most appealing
is
happiness
happiness
happiness
..
so dont tell me no
dont tell me i cant go
dont tell me im not ready
because
you see
these footsteps i am following
will come back to me
and i'll pretend
this battleground
was only my kindergarten playground
and i've left the sandbox
i'm done playing this game
i hear it calling
i see it falling
im taking the chance
so dont you dare step foot in my path
don't you dare tell me i've gone too far
you
know
who
the
fuck
you
are
