What Kind Of Life

Inspired by the drag of a second story fall
Turn off your mind and let life slowly pass you by
Bare your soul, time begins a fall

Watch burning embers die, fade the lights down low
Reducing day to night, you grow so tired of the hype
They let you down, now talk of the town
High, you sink or swim, why

Don’t ever fall away too long
Cut down like blades of grass
A single thought, a moment lost

How deep do their lies go-misunderstood
What does it mean when they say no
A lust for life, what kind of life
What kind of life is this, what kind of life is this anyway

Don’t ever fall away too long
Cut down like blades of grass
A single thought, a moment lost
Don’t ever fall away too long
Cut down like blades of grass
Hypnotized, you dream this
Don’t ever fall, fall away for too long
Cut down-a blade of grass, a moment lost

Hovering

Collapse the dream that you’ve always had
Leaving the things that you used to love
Uninvolved, until now
Secretly you make a sound

Bitter and sad you make your way home
Facing your fears inspite of yourself
Talk is cheap, you break down
Elemental and hovering

Doors are opening, will you ever know?
Caught up in the light, shaking as I see
That I am hovering, am I anything?

Fully aware of what you want to be
See-saw the steps that fake your honesty
Holding ground this time
Solidly without a sound

Some wait for fate, some talk to God
Some wait for fate and then they pray to God
Some say the shape is all it takes to tell
Sunbursting and proud
Solidly, without a sound

Doors are opening, will you ever know?
Caught up in the light, shaking as I see
That I am hovering, am I anything
I’m gonna end your fears
The sadness and disease that came into your mind
And took your soul!

Dwell

I can’t decide which sparks will fly
Twin lights ignite, taking delight

Sadness unnamed night and day
Outdistancing all the fun
In your midnight
You dwell to fight the good fight

Breath drawn in tight, recoil and fade
Brilliant tonight, transcend the pain

Sadness unnamed night and day
Outdistancing all the fun
In your midnight
You dwell, lie in the long grass

Make shapes on the wall, you twist shadows
Cut down the tree, you frame sadness
Shadows in me

Dwell, fight the good fight
You dwell, twisting the shadows
Dwell, fight the good fight
You dwell, lie in the long grass

Ether

Tempted, chosen two times
Faster, stolen but safe in your thunder
And now I will hold on if you’ll turn the
Colors in corners move down
Perfect and flawless but far from forgiven
And now I will hold on if you’ll burn the
Sun through the trees, sunken and ragged
Looks good to me, savor the trip
Remember the glow to go…..

Where do you think that you’ll go
Now that you’ve seen the whole world
What do you think that you’ll do
Now that you’re paid up-you don’t owe anything now

Tempted, chosen two times
Faster, stolen but safe in your thunder
Now I will hold on if you’ll, you will burn the
Sun through the trees, sunken and ragged
Looks good to me, savor the trip
Remember the glow
Sun through the trees, sunken and ragged
Looks good it, looks good it, looks good to me

Unbroken

Circle the break, cover your last mistake
Leave out the hate, a series of wonder plays
Thicken the ride, surrender the underground
To be found, leaving

Wasted youth, rendering
Glory days, long gone
Wandering, day to day
A creeping sense, to leave unbroken

Reminisce, settle the sinking sun
End of an age, end of the innocence
To be found, leaving

Wasted youth, rendering
Glory days, long gone
Wandering, day to day
A creeping sense, to leave unbroken, gone

Surrender, surrender
To this slow fate
Why does it hurt?
Why do the things that you want to last all
Fall apart, finalize
Glory days, long gone
Wandering, from town to town
A creeping sense to leave unbroken, gone, ya, gone

Crash Coping

Crashing sunlight escapes
The harvest of souls is saved
Betrayed confidence too late
A promise made

Cold for haunting, playing dead
In this small town, hiding
In a box-like, from a box-like canyon
In a rolling wave crashing home
From a fading memory
In a golden moment, jaded

Longing comeback, days of gold
Skin translucent, hiding
In a box-like, from a box-like canyon
In a rolling wave crashing home
From a fading memory
In a golden moment, jaded

In time we, tilt back the sun for fun
Tomorrow, further undone, ya

Maladjusted, sky-scraping
Your brilliant life is crystalline
So much harder now, than when you were home, you’re home
From a memory a crash coping

Further Down

Someone calling in the distance
Slowly fading, wire blinding
Hope you make it, starting to get dark, I hope you find your way

Everyone talks, do you listen-lying in the night, just listen
Further down, where the girl speaks beautiful words
It’s only my machine, God I hope you make it
I hope you find your way

Shimmering scene in the silence, signaling hope, it blinds you
Wide open now, wish this, wish this one could last
Hard to find the right words, deceiving to the end

I’m gonna wrap myself around you
I’m gonna take your breath away
I’m gonna breathe my life right through you, through you
I’m gonna be the one that moves you
I never want to hurt you, or be that low again

Someone calling in the distance
Thought I saw you, getting closer
Slowly fading, wire blinding
Hoped to find you, lost in your desire
Happy to be free

I’m gonna wrap myself around you
I’m gonna take your breath away
I’m gonna breathe my life right through you, through you
I’m gonna be the one that moves you
I never want to hurt you, or be that low again

Leaving

So go, weaving in and out of cars
I know, another one follows you home
The sweet lullaby, the sound of a dial tone
No one is home, wonder who she’s thinking of right now

Alone, disconnected thoughts
At home, all alone in your room
The sweet lullaby, the sound of a dial tone
Wonder if she’s home, what she does, where she goes

What if I don’t care, what if I can’t deny
What if I don’t go, no one can say goodbye
See the summer leaving
See the sun go down from your window
Feel the night is changing
See the summer go, and you’ll never know that

What if I don’t care, what if I can’t deny
What if I don’t go, no one can say goodbye
What if I don’t care, what if I can’t deny
What if I don’t go, no one can say goodbye

A Game Of You

Dragged down, spinning
Purely inside a never ending
Eden-captured, confusion
Someone fires a gun

Lonely as a signal
A flare that rises from the
Twilight, glowing, sending
Hope into the world, too late
Youth and beauty fade away, open the book
Open your eyes
Images ending your skin becomes sin
As night falls a game of you gorgeously
Slides into view

Your second skin, second skin
Is burning thin
Someone is dragging you down
In spite of your kicking, screaming
Dragged down, inside a never ending
Eden-captured, confusion
Someone sends an
Image is ending your skin becomes sin
As night falls a game of you gorgeously
Slides into view, a game of you

Everything’s Gone

Under the curtain of blue
Sleeping, fading
A face that is pure and so clean
Smiling, falling
I follow her down
Into a beautiful haze
Caressing me
Down

Destined and slain you redeem
A secret kills you
Growing inside from the pain
I lost my pride as I
Follow you down
Into a beautiful haze
Caressing me
Down

I love it here
And I know that she knows
Everything’s gone

I follow you down
Into a beautiful haze
Caressing me
Down
I love it here
And I know that she knows
Yes I know that she knows
Everything’s gone

March

Ring, sound the alarm
Think, re-calibrate your comeback
Stack up the beats
March, seamlessly sounding like

This, so close to home
Speak, learning to speak and to spell
At the same time
Drift, drifting away, re-emerge
As life among the cheap perfection
Deny you’re lost inside the reckless fortune

Ring, ring the alarm
Jump, wake the emotion in time
Listen to me
March, seamlessly sounding like
Life, you lie among the cheap perfection
Deny you’re lost inside the reckless fortune
Why do you lie inside this lover’s soul kiss
Tired of being dusted, imperfection
Gone is the feeling lonely saturation brings

Deeper

Memory lane catches up with you again
I really thought that you knew
How much that I wanted it too
Can you be in control, can you say my name?
Anytime, night or day,
And I feel so sad for you

Night of fire,
Sparks are falling to the ground
Forgotten and lonely again,
How do you think you fit in?
Can you be in control,
Can you stay the same?
Anytime, night or day,
And I feel so sad for you
Ya, you, ya

Can you be in control
Can you stay the same
Anytime, night or day, and I feel so sad
Memory lane catches up
And the years roll down
Can you be in control and I feel so…
Sad for you this time
As you fade into the night
And I feel so sad this time
Close your eyes, pretend desire

Nocturnal

Take a number, have a seat and dust the covers off
Drop the clutch and make the wheels spin
Melt into the night

Say goodbye now, bed discarded
Created from these thoughts
Somehow the drama led to the notion
That only faith survives

So the story goes
Am I really safe in your arms
Does it ever hurt, do you ever know
And now I’m waiting on line
And yes I’m hating that I feel so exposed
Scared to dream, shed the dead weight from my last scene ya

So the story goes
Am I really safe in your arms
Does it ever burn
Does it ever hurt, do you ever know
And now I’m waiting on line
And yes I’m hating that I feel so alone
Scared to dream, shed the dead weight from my last scene

Bell Hooks

Not another word, teeth-grinding earth shaking
Fascination curls right by the ten cent line
The cause of all the damage, slips through her fingers
Like gravitation meant to save her from falling

Endless spiral, ringing the bell it takes
More than she can give, she is the one girl that
Disaffected youth swear that they want more than
Love or drugs or money, strange how they all seem so
Unimportant to her, realizing too late

Endless spiral, ringing the bell it takes time
Sinking lower, trapped inside everyone else and all
They think of, we don’t mind the pain, eighty-seven miles
To nowhere, run through the night as I’m leading
This girl to goodbye

Endless spiral, ringing-the bell it takes time
Sinking lower than low, trapped inside everyone else
We don’t mind the pain but we miss the season
Speeding up the day, effortless, assuming
In the time it takes, eighty-seven miles to nowhere
Run through the night as I’m leading this girl through the
End of the night, not knowing why
Pull down the night, end in goodbye
