Breakerfall
There's a girl on a ledge she got nowhere to turn
'Cause all the lovin she had was just one that she burned
Now her life is on fire, it's no one's concern
She could blame the world
A prey till dawn
But only love
Could breakerfall
Breakherfall
Yeah, only love
Will breakerfall
...fall

It's like she lost her invitation to the party on Earth
And she's standing outside hating everyone here
And she's her own disease cryin to her dad

But, only love
could breakerfall
Breakerfall
Only love
And breakerfall

..fall
Breakerfall
Love, but, oh
Breakerfall
Only love could
Breakerfall
Could breakerfall
...fall
Breakerfall
Only love... could breaker...


Gods' Dice

It's out of my hands, makin' your hands meet
stumbling as is crumbling and a reach
it's in the cards
your destiny, your sanity in tow

Designate, my luck
I resignate

this power has no roots to guide, no role
trust me, rusted minds refuse to go
unwillingness its meaningless
to walk away in vain

Designate my will
I designate my fill
I resignate

my will is crashin' synapses flashin' soul
days like frame by frame where do they go?
oh 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 the livin', (risa)
oh too much thought is overwrought a bore
minding yours what's mine not yours
will finish us

I designate my life
Oh, designate my view
I resignate my will, my will, my will, I will
I 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. Evacuation. Evacuation.
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've deciphered tricks at the bar
But now you're gone,.. I haven't figured out why...
I've come up with the riddles,.. and jokes about war...
I've 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, for days to dissapear...
your lights reflected now... reflected from afar...
We were but stones... your light made us stars

The heavy breath... awakened regrets
backpages and days alone that could have been spent..
together, but we were... miles apart...
every inch between us becomes light years now...
no need to be void.. or save up on life..
got to spend it all........

Nothing As It Seems

Don't feel like home
he's a little out
And all these words alone
is 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 he that needs, it's home
And all that he frees
is nothing he can seize

save it for a sunny day
something maybe two-tone
anything of his own
a chip off the cornerstone
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 he needs, it's home
and all 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 he needs; 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 gone
hesitate - when I feel I may do harm to her
wash it off - cause this feeling we can share
and I know she's in my heart - in thin air

Byzantine is reflected in our pond
there's a cloud - but the water remains calm
reaching in - the sun's fingers push the dawn to pass
even out - it's a precious thing to bear
and I know she's reached my heart - in thin air    x 2

it's not in my past to presume
love can keep on moving in both directions
how to be happy and true - is the quest we're taking on together
taking on   x 3

there's a light - when my baby's in my arms
and I know she's reached my heart - in thin air   x 5
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 guy. Big eye watching me.
Have to wonder what it sees.
Progress laced with ramifications.
Freedom's big blur. Oh.

Pull the innocent from a crowd.
Raise those sticks them 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 nations' 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. Woh.

Acá ni idea de lo que dice.... creo que nadie sabe, je. Habrá que escucharla en vivo.

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. Woh.


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 other 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 sleight 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 barley 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 ways

Behind 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.
