Can’t Break Free-

Coming at you coming at you coming at you
Turn around look away turn around look away
Coming at you coming at you coming at you
Turn around look away turn around look away

I shouldn’t be here

All these voices trying to interfere

I shouldn’t be here

All these voices trying to interfere

I need I need I need

No more music 
No more stories 
No more colors
No more love

Speak to me in words anew 
Speak to me in morning dew
Speak to me with something new
Speak to me from a mountain view

I said no more
Where is the exit to this revolving door?

You keep pushing me away
Unraveling myself into time

Keep me busy keep me busy keep me busy
Get me lost get me lost get me lost

Make something to take me away
And I’ll give you what you need to stay

Keep me busy keep me busy keep me busy
Get me lost get me lost get me lost
Keep me busy keep me busy keep me busy
Get me lost get me lost get me LOST

Platform 7-

Come away with me into the mines
Into the mysteries of the dark
Come away with me on platform seven
On a journey we’ll embark

There’s evil in every corner
But we’ll get through unharmed
As it gets warmer
Don’t be alarmed

Here we are in the city underground 
It’s lights like ripples on a lake
All is science here
Everything for progress’ sake

What you do in the dark
Will come into the light

I once found a place here
I was drawn to the beat
Rhythms, textures, soundscapes
Took me away from the heat

Now we are on an island 
Somewhere warm and blue
The colours here are citrus pastels
Is there anything we can’t do?

Alas the beat begins to haunt me
I cannot re-board platform seven
Forever lost in the order of their ways
I’ve lost any small piece of heaven

Last Train from Osaka-

I’ve got clothes on I never intended to wear
I’ve got baggage for which I never thought I’d care

These buildings are placeholders
Built to forget, built to destroy
Though something lives on
In the sounds we enjoy

Can’t break from the city
For it is the escape
I’ll be here forever
Running on rough landscape

I must slip away
From spinning thoughts and dreams
These people show me for who I am
Only unraveling it seems

I can hear the train coming
It won’t take you away
But it can show you the night 
And all the places we play  

The sound of the steel lulls me to sleep
These lights pass me by
They wonder what I’m doing here
They wonder for what I’d die

On the last train from Osaka
You cannot go home
You can only find yourself
Wherever you may roam

Rivers of Ice-

If all the pieces did fall
Then would you tear down your wall?

She sings to me in waves of gold
She listens to me when I’m on hold

I watch the rivers of ice
Flowing through these hills
I can see her breathing beauty
But the cold holds its ground still

She holds me and tells me not to stare
She fills my mind with soothing cool air

Again the end, it tries to creep in
But now there’s nothing left for it
To consume under this skin

Please just let it go
And listen to the snow

These words are toys of the mind
I’ve let them start to unwind

Listen to it call
I’m saying nothing at all

Alas she’ll never be unkind
She reminds me there’s something to find

Now I finally sleep
I remember
Be at peace
Top


Fissure-

I have forgotten those eyes
Which do not cease to stare
I have ceased all flowing for 
That for which I once cared

I remember it’s not you that haunts me
Only my blindness to the morrow and the day
I remember you’re not the only one 
Who keeps me bound to yesterday

Truly I ran towards your light
Revealed to be nothing but a veil
A beautiful shroud over truth
To protect me from the hail

Without pain, comes no relief from the rain
But all directions I see now for certain
I cannot deny that this dead love
Is both the heaviest and lightest burden

Now that you are back again
We have never been so far away
Truly something only a human could do
Making myself to fade

The salt has worked on the wound
It’s pain I no longer need bear
From time to time I scratch it
For just a little more to care
Top


Death-

Self simplified to a vibrating wave
Soaring across the places of touch

Now the true journey begins
As we ride off with the light
Top


Unimagined-

I won
I got past the low

Now I don’t know
As I feel the blow

I liked it better 
When I was figuring it
All for myself 

When I let my mind wander
It always finds its way to you
Just try and take these things from me
I’m talking to you
I dare you to try and break me

Everyone here is scared of everyone else
Enough people to be comfortably confused

Used

Everything’s so pretty now
So wonderful now
So perfect now

Living 
In 
A
Picture

Perfect …

Can’t be here
Got to get back down to the bottom

How come the one you want to be closest to
Is the one who seems furthest away?
She wants you more than you can know
Too bad I can’t believe anything I say

Refused

I told you
I told you all I had to say

Another day
Another way

We gotta kill somebody

Mary was a virgin
Just like you think you’re searchin’

How come I cannot stop smiling? 

You can’t talk to me anymore
You can’t talk to me anymore
All these things remain yours 
I keep nothing 
My mind’s a whore

Not real
Until it is

Not real
Until it is
Top


The Stone-

Every time I drop it
It gets harder to pick back up
These things -once mine- have no more value,
Than a half-full styrofoam cup

Suddenly I’m anyplace
I search along the sound
What that there lay
A stone you have found

You
Will 
Not 
Find 
It 
Here

What’s that say you to me? 
How dare you challenge He
Who said look inside all you see
Then find reciprocity

But the stone merely restated 
What he had already once said
The image of no stone
Lay still inside my head

And that’s when I wondered back into the forest
Top


Tears of Oil-

Lanes of traffic late at night
Her headlights staring me down
Like bubbles in a sparking wine
Running me to another kinda town

Sometime soon, 
You’ll be over this honeymoon 

With yourself

We’ll all be over this horror
Fuel’s gonna run out
You’re gonna find out 
What you’re all about

Climb out of your car
Climb out of the tar

Why do we insist on being so far?

These tears of oil stream down my face
I see through them 
I see something void of place

But it seems that when I’m walking, 

Those smiles are real
I hear her whisper “heal”

That’s why I don’t stop talking
These moments, they keep me walking

Funny how our cradle 
Will also be our deathbed
Sipping oil from a ladle

And still I don’t stop talking
These moments, they keep me walking
Top


Days Gone By-

After illustrations 
Penetrations

All these things called innovations
Leave me waiting at the station

For the right train to take me away

After conversations
Permeations

All sorts of misinformations
A single line running through all the nations

On this high-wire act I stay

Oh, these distant cries, over moons and skies!
The sounds that resonate inside these restless eyes

The life I give to endless ties
Dripping wet with senseless lies

I’ve gotten rid of all the spies
Now I wait for some kind of rise

I’m just asking if you want to play 
Is it too much to ask for the day?
Top


Reconciled-

Further into the mines
Now watch them explode

Busy child wishes she were gifted

Now I’m in the times
I’ve lost such a load

Another busy child is uplifted

I’ll talk to her in a bit
I’ve found someplace warm

There I run again
On ground that isn’t firm
 
If you don’t stretch the truth 
You may be lying to yourself

I’m back to myself
You can keep your damn shelf

And yet you know you see me
I am inside your head
Dancing round in tiny circles 
‘Till you crash back into bed

Dream about me and I’ll tell you
All you could want to know
I’ll drown you in my blood
You’ll wonder if the wind did blow
Top


Why I Smile- 

Happiness like sadness
An arrow spinning through space
Can you see which way it’s pointing?
Follow it in a race

Tell me I’m somewhere
I see deep inside of you
You think you see right through me
Sorrow is a virtue

We could never touch, I’m elsewhere
Alone and someplace else
Absent from your eyesight
Absent from your pulse

Along with you sleep takes me
On a spiral vibrating wave
Pointing to salvation
Anywhere but the grave

Still I hear this music 
Calling from bellow
Dragging me to places
I would only hope to show

Yet this is how I’m living
Loving every breath
Kindness keeps me walking
Until I walk to death

Every second a lifetime
Every thought a gift
Can’t you see these tears
Are only here to lift?

Now I want to dream
And relive what I have seen
Lift me up to heaven
Oh, the places I have been

Get Out of My Head, This Love is Hate (in E) -

Light hearts make for easy flight 
I’d never ask you to fill yours with waste
I’ve been there and crashed a thousand times
Anything for that bittersweet taste

Forget words, talk can’t describe this
After all, how could logic define
When I look at you I feel eternally young
And I see right through time

There’s one thing I can count on
That this will always feel weird

Only you can strip me of my confidence
Without even trying
I don’t have to be who I am with you
(I feel as if I’m flying)

There is no grand metaphor for this
For it is like nothing I have ever seen
And though I’ve been here before
It’s really no place I have been

Let’s not talk about emotions
I don’t need that when I see you
In fact let’s not talk or think at all
Because now I know nothing’s true

You seem familiar

It could be anybody
But it’s you
It’s always been you

For wrong or for right
She just needs 
To be loved
Tonight

She needs you
She needs to be noticed by you
And when you do
She’ll be through
Top


Eyes- 

Stop the smell
Get me out of this flesh
All these familiar places
Have begun to mesh

I took a shortcut 
That collapsed behind me
I took a shortcut 
Now I’m lost

I saw the sink
But not the pipes
I got the ingredients mixed 
But not the right types

It gets harder every winter
I’m so engaged, I’m everyone else here
You want to be even more so?
Have another beer

Make a fist
And be human tonight

So I made a fist
I don’t know whether to scream or cry

I feel like a skeleton in a bag of skin
When I fail to see the growth within
Can’t pack me up and put me in a box
Nor can I sleep ‘till the spring equinox

It’s so fucking easy isn’t it?
Despair

It’s so fucking easy isn’t it?
Destroy

It’s so fucking easy isn’t it? 
Isolation

It’s so fucking easy isn’t it
Forget?

Anything for a touch
My hand upon your flesh

Back down

It’s so cold
I gotta get out 
I gotta get out

Sweetness lying in the womb
And I can sleep as I once did
Being born

When can I go back?

Hold me in your arms 
Let me lay on your belly

Where things are made 
Not destroyed

And suddenly I’m with you
Not unemployed

Gentle storm
The black silhouettes of the trees 
Over purple, blue and gold
Dance in the breeze

All your memories 
Sing unto you

Play with the memories
And realize we aren’t through 

Each moment an eternity 
Each eternity a blessing

Escape from winter’s prison, and embrace the warmth

I want to be more familiar with this music

Focus!

I’ve lost myself in the distortion
A humable refrigerator buzz
Dancing under my castle of sand
Slowly becoming fuzz

I miss you 
I don’t even know you

I have fallen with the stream in the mountain
To the river cutting through the desert
The night sky seems to be dancing with me
But I can’t ignore the frost on the dirt

There’s something staring me down
Some kind of blackened shine
Oh give me here
Don’t let me lose what is mine

I’ll follow you if you follow me
Until we fall out
Then we’ll be free

Run away

Let’s get fucked up, 
Paranoid

And hate another day

Let’s move away from each other
Something’s coming, take cover!

Searching for the eternal womb
Ignoring whatever love looms

You only look when it’s raining out
But I tell you man, we’re having a sunny bout

The beast of your mind
Why do you fear it?
Nobody’s looking deep enough
To see my drowning spirit

The words are being drawn from me 
Like water from a cactus
Nothing left to provoke these thoughts

Please something other than a girl and a boy
Something for real, something for naught but to enjoy

Different because I have to be

Wait, 

You know what I mean?

Touch

Touch, and for once, we aren’t dying
Touch, and we are riding the lighting
And all the sounds and sights and smells
Take us to a place that isn’t hell

Touched

Then fade

Fade

Until you’re found again
Top


Then the Credits Began to Roll-

Please don’t let me die tonight
Why do you curse me with such a fright

Would you end me on the eve of my flight?
Don’t let me die tonight

I’m not finished yet
I haven’t repaid the kindness with pain

Keep your air moving through me
I’m so scared I have to sing

All I want is to let out a little light
For somebody with non in sight

I already miss the close ones 
How could you do this to them?

Why do you put me through this?
I miss I miss I miss

I love

Please, don’t let me die tonight

Where Did You Go? -

As spring blooms from the ground
Last summer’s ghosts seem to dissipate
But still the chilled night’s wind
Brings faint whispers of hate

And rock used to be 
Such a respectable genre
Every time I sign on 
I see nothing so clearly

I can clearly see I’ve worn out my welcome
You can’t stand to see me anymore can you?
Creative enough to break some rules
Let’s take anything where they used screws

I’m so sick of making my own fun
Bringing myself to places I really shouldn’t be
It’s really quite easy to be like me
Just like where you are, and you’ll be free

Well I’m finally seeing
You were the better man

I’ll just get back to work 
You obviously don’t want me here
For I know at least in my mind
I was always the one who interferes

You can’t stand me
I can see it
I was weird then and I’m weirder now

I’m becoming still more distant
Whenever you reach out I’m resistant

I can clearly see I’ve worn out my welcome
I won’t be here anymore
You won’t see me if you don’t want
I was never there when I was still indoors

It’s so quiet if you let it be
And why not let everyone else do everything
The world doesn’t need me
Oh logic can’t you see?
It’s not them you need, it’s me

No wait, please stay
I swear I had something to say

It’s cracking again

As the blue rose fades to violet
Top


Squares-

During the winter
Geometry becomes my life
All other times
The shapers are merely strife

Nobody tells you life is worth living
Without knowing what in life is worth saving
And what is worth paving

And nobody tells you life is worth living
Without forgetting
Without betraying

And it’s all a big debacle
So God can sit back 
And watch the humans torture themselves

When you pick a fight with us,
You’re really just picking a fight with yourself

A network of crabs being caught 
By something intangible
Something unimaginable

A single wavelength
On this green square plane
But at least behind these hedges 
Shirtless, I can act inane

You are your forbearer’s dream
Isolation tearing our fabric at its seam 
Would they want this had they seen?

Like grapes, been on the vine too long
We will fall
And maybe not those who come after us
Or after them
But one day wine will be made again
Top


All My Allies-

Back to the beginning
It’s now we know we’re winning

Now I see into your eyes
I see those restless skies

I tell you there is reason to rejoice
Now common and use your voice-

We are all here

*Clap*
