Average Day

An average day
You walk away
From your door
In the sun
And in the sun
You Ride
Far away
On a train
But in your mind you go farther
Cross borders of time
Past the cities and plains
To where the starts explode
In the sky
To where the ghosts howl
Through our lives
And I heard you say
Don’t run away
Your life will change
If you let it grow stronger
The winds will bring the rain and the snow
To keep your soul
From the world outside
You’ll cross borders of time
Past the cities and plains
To where your love shines
Through the sky
To where your heart glides
On a wire
And I heard you say…
Oh how hard the rain comes down
Oh if you stick around yeah
Oh how the moon yearns through your face
Oh how we run in place
An average day
You walk away
From your door
In the sun

Before Too Long
03:15
|
|||
Through the shackles of your heart
There is a wave about to start
For the shore
And you have thrown yourself away
Though you keep your bones at bay
From the storm
And the wind says
You are gone
You are gone
Before too long
Come back as yourself
Before too long
You’re momentarily
Trapped inside your memory
Like a cave
And you are waiting for a sign
A hand to wash the hands of time
While you wait
And the wind says
You are gone
You are gone
Before too long
Come back as yourself
Before too long
As sunlight fills your arms
The world drags you along
Like a scared child
You’re tired and you want to come home
You’re tired and you want to come home
Home, home
You are gone
You are gone
Before too long
Come back as yourself
Before too long

You said I should meet you
At the café
Near my house
But I got something breaking
I don’t know where my mind’s gone now
And if we live
inside ourselves
We won’t feel pain
anymore
Of what we lost
There is
Nothing else
Still I, I don’t wanna go home
Deep inside my ear lobe
Is a voice I can’t forget
Telling me to slow down
Before I lose touch
And if we live
Inside ourselves
We won't feel pain
At all
Of what we gave up
There is
Nothing left
Still I, I don't wanna go home

I Don't Date Well
03:12

You left
Your cup on the table
You left here
An hour ago
I’m sitting
Sitting here waiting
Got nowhere
Nowhere to go
What you see
I will never see
What you know
I will never know
Your eyes are a distant shoreline
I will never reach
I walked home
There is nothing to say
When the world
Doesn’t feel like the world
I am the king of my days
Unlock my door
I step into my house
There’s no one here
There’s no one around
What I see
I will never see
What I know
I will never know
Your eyes are a distant shoreline
I will never reach
I left home
There is nothing to say
When the world
Doesn’t feel like the world
I am the king of my days

Shave Our Faces
03:28
|
|||
Oh we will run
To the corners of our soul
Find some wood to burn
Oh we will see
Our reflections in the smoke
Listen for a song
Until the world
Takes this life
With a movement coming on
Oh
We will shave our faces
In our ways
We will live
Until the days become
The days that we have made
Oh you have lived
Through the movements of the wind
Waiting for the rain
Oh I have watched you
Break every bone
Some things never change
And so the world
Takes this life
To give it back again
Oh
We will shave our faces
In our ways
We will live
Until the days become
The days that we have made
Shadow in summertime
Keeps your heart in mine
Shadow in silver sky
Keeps with mine

I am a prophet
I am overrated
I am a big ball of blame
That you have played with
You rolled me around
All on the floor
Slapped some slobber on
And begged for more
Until one day
You said I’m tired of this game
I don’t want to play
Anymore
But I know you
Better than that
I saw you in those dreams I had
I know you
Better than that
‘Cause I saw you in those dreams I had
I am a lonely man
But I am eloquence defined
I tried to wrap you up in my web
But found myself intertwined
Now what’s the meaning of this?
Which stop do I get off to go home?
I can’t find your eyes
But I’m not surprised to be all alone
No
But I know you
Better than that
I saw you in those dreams I had
I know you
Better than that
‘Cause I saw you in those dreams I had
I think I’m tired of this now
I want to give up
It’s too bad I won’t see your face
When I wake up

Enough
03:42
|
|||
I’m not here you swear
You see angels on my back
With our wings exposed
We could hide out in the light
I can see your face as it shines
Towards the sun
I can feel your pain as it fades away
There’s enough of love to keep us
To keep us
There’s enough of love to make this life
Worthwhile
In time we’ll find that nothing matters at all
We’ll find the only thing we have is love
The world will speak in volumes to us
The world will take us into its arms
And we’ll be safe
I can feel your breath as it moves across my face
The sky is wide
The sky is wide enough
To contain us
There’s enough of love
To keep you
To keep me
There’s enough of love
To make this life
There’s enough of love to keep us
To keep us
There’s enough of love to make this life
Worthwhile
There’s enough of love to keep you
To keep me
There’s enough of love
To make this life

Song for the Strung Out
02:51
|
|||
Here we are
Chickens with our
Heads chopped off
And we were
Walking through the yard
Till the farmers came
And ripped us apart
But we don't know what to do
We had all the right stuff
We even stayed in school
And we were
So **** cool
When the storm came down
We even kept our rules
Saying nobody walks alone
When every heart on a sleeve
Is a car broken down
By the side of the road
What does it all mean?
Outside of lives wrapped up in magazines
You know those spines are too weak
And if our dreams
Were like bones
We'd break them through this scene
But we don't know what to say
Keep our voices low enough
And we'll be fading away
Into songs for better days
But when the storm came down
The words got washed away
Saying nobody walks alone
When every heart on a sleeve
Is a car broken down
By the side of the road

Stratosphere
03:07
|

I am walking
You are rising
I'll meet you
Where the clouds meet the street
There are planets
In between us
Clinging to the shadows we keep
And I would like
To sing to you
Like the dead
Sing to their homes
I would like
To fly with you
Like a thought
Flies through your world
Like a thought
Flies through your world
So you say
It's okay to be alive
If we don't know who we are
But I am here
In the stratosphere
And the shadows
Won't keep us out
I am here
In the stratosphere
And the shadows
Won't keep us out

Come Home
03:11
|
|||
The places I've been
I don't talk about
Much
Anymore
There's a side of the sun
Where she resides
But I can't call it
My own
I know the world's gone cold
But I'm still warm
I thought it would be nice
If you could stay
Just a little longer
Oh so long
My old song
Oh if we could try
One last time
One last time
You can try
To come back home
The skeleton key
To my door
Is all but worn down
I don't need to lock it
Anymore
You can't lose
What you have not found
I know the things I've seen
They won't come back
I thought it would be nice
If you could stay
And we'll keep on talking
Oh so long
My old song
Oh if you could try
One last time
One last time
You can try
To come back home
I know the world's gone cold
But I'm still warm
I thought it would be nice
If you could stay
And we'll keep on talking
