MOSAICO – 24 and 13

Posted on by

24 and 13

I’VE BEEN DIGGING IN YOUR GARDEN.

I’VE BEEN SIFTING THROUGH PAPER CARVED HEARTS.

IN NERVOUS, NUMERICAL NOVELTIES.

YOU’VE REPLACED REASON WITH RESPONSE.

AND I’M PULLING NUMBERS LIKE…

24 AND 13.

I THINK I SEE BEHIND,

I THINK I SEE A LIGHT.

YOU ARE WILD YOU ARE FREE.

MY HANDS WILL LIFT YOUR LIPS TO MINE.

I WILL LET MY BODY ACHE.

I WILL LIFT YOUR LIPS TO THE STARS.

I WILL NOT LET ANYTHING DISTURB YOU.

I WILL BREATHE FOR YOU BODY…

I WILL CRAWL WITHIN.

I WILL INHERIT YOUR STRENGTH…

I WILL STAIN YOUR TEARS UPON MY CHEEK.

I WILL LET IT BE.

I’VE BEEN DIGGING IN YOUR GARDEN.

I’VE BEEN SIFTING THROUGH PAPER CARVED HEARTS.

IN NERVOUS, NUMERICAL NOVELTIES.

YOU’VE MISPLACED RESPONSE AND REASON.

AND I’M PULLING NUMBERS LIKE…

24 AND 13.

I THINK I SEE BEHIND…

I THINK I SEE THE LIGHT.

YOU ARE WILD AND FREE.

I WILL HOLD YOUR BODY.

MY HANDS WILL LIFT YOUR LIPS TO MINE.

I WILL HOLD YOUR BODY… STAY.

I WILL BREATHE FOR YOUR BODY.

I WILL CALL WITHIN.

I WILL INHERIT YOUR STRENGTH.

I WILL STAIN YOUR TEARS UPON MY CHEEK.

YOU ARE WILD, YOU ARE FREE.

YOU ARE WILD… FREE.

YOU ARE WILD, YOU ARE FREE.

BURY THE BREAKS

ABOVE THE UNMADE BED,

A SUITCASE PACKED FOR WHAT’S AHEAD.

A NEEDLE AND THREAD.

TO HEAL THE SCARS THAT SEEM TO SPREAD.

BUCKLE DOWN AGAIN,

I FEEL THE NEED… AGAIN.

I CARRY THE WEIGHT…

OF ALL THE LIES THAT YOU’VE SAID.

I’M TIRED OF BEING THE BLAME…

FOR ALL THE TIME THAT IT TAKES.

I BURY THE BREAKS,

I RAISE THE STAKE.

I BURY THE BREAKS,

TO TRY AND FIND A BETTER PLACE.

LOOK TO THE BRIGHT, BRIGHT SKY…

UNDER THE FALL OF NIGHT.

UNDER MY FEET THE STREET,

HEADED TO YOU, MY DEAR.

UP IN THE SKY TO BRIGHT,

UNDER THE FALL OF NIGHT.

UNDER MY FEET THE STREET,

HEADED TO YOU MY DEAR.

EVIL EVOLVED

THERE IS SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME.

SOMETHING CONSTANTLY DIVIDING ME.

TURNING ME ON,

TURNING ME OFF.

TURNING THE EVIL INTO,

EVIL EVOLVED.

I NEED SOMETHING TO REST.

SOMETHING TO HURT LESS AND LESS.

ITS THE WAY THAT IT HAS TO BE,

THESE ARE THE STARS ABOVE THE SEA.

I’M SWITCHING OFF, I’M SWITCHING OFF.

AND ALL AT ONCE I’VE GIVEN UP.

THAT’S THE WAY THAT IT HAS TO BE…

THESE ARE THE STARS ABOVE THE SEA.

TRAPPED IN YOUR BLACK BOX…

BURIED TO THE WAIST.

I’M SWITCHING OFF, I’M SWITCHING OFF.

AND ALL AT ONCE I’VE GIVEN UP.

THERE IS SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME.

SOMETHING CONSTANTLY DIVIDING ME.

TURNING ME ON,

TURNING ME OFF.

TURNING THE EVIL INTO,

EVIL EVOLVED.

I NEED SOMETHING TO REST,

SOMETHING TO HURT LESS AND LESS.

I’M SWITCHING OFF, I’M SWITCHING OFF.

AND ALL AT ONCE I’M GIVING UP.

ONE BY ONE…

ALL ARE GONE.

ONE BY ONE…

ALL ARE DONE.

DAMAGE CONTROL

HEY, ITS JUST A WORD UNDONE.

IT’S JUST WHAT I’VE BECOME,

RUNNING, STUMBLING BEHIND THE PATH YOU’VE SET.

WAIT…

I’VE HAD A TROUBLED START,

THE FLAME HAS LOST IT’S SPARK.

THE BREEZE BEGINS TO FREEZE,

THE SEA IN WHICH I AM DROWNING DEEP.

EVERY HAS GIVEN OUT, FROM A CRADLE ABOVE THE CLOUDS.

SPITTING OUT A ROARING SOUND THAT SHOT ME DOWN,

INTO THE GROUND.

WHAT DID YOU EXPECT TO SEE?

A BEGGAR FALLING AT YOUR FEET,

WELL I HAVE TO SAY… THAT ISN’T ME.

BUT WAIT…

IT’S JUST THE WORLD I KNOW,

IT’S WHAT MAKES ME SO…

IT’S DAMAGE CONTROL.

HEY, ITS JUST UNWORTHY OF…

I’M JUST NEGLECTFUL OF EVERY SCENE THAT CUTS AND BLEEDS,

THROUGH SILENCE AND THE HOPE YOU KEEP.

AND FATE… AND ALL IT’S WICKED GAMES,

KEEP TRACK OF EVERY MISTAKE, THE BLAME HAS SPREAD SO DEEP,

IT’S ALL THAT I CAN DO TO KEEP.

EVERY HAS GIVEN OUT, FROM A CRADLE ABOVE THE CLOUDS.

SPILLING OUT A ROARING SOUND THAT SHOT ME DOWN,

INTO THE GROUND.

WHAT DID YOU EXPECT TO SEE?

A BEGGAR FALLING AT YOUR FEET,

WELL I HAVE TO SAY… THAT ISN’T ME.

 BUT WAIT…

IT’S JUST THE WORLD I KNOW,

IT’S WHAT MAKES ME SO…

IT’S DAMAGE CONTROL.

BATTERED PREY

SO NOW, SO BRAVE.

AND HOW YOU FILL THE DAYS.

LIKE WORDS WE SPEAK.

TO HELP US BREATHE.

HAD YOU GIVEN UP WHEN YOU HAD FOUND.

LYING UNDER CEDAR TREES, DREAMING OF THE PLOYS AND SCHEMES.

AS IT IS, THE SNOW WILL TAKE YOUR PLACE.

BUILDING ON A FLATTENED PLAIN.

FEEDING ON A BATTERED PREY.

SO NOW, SO BRAVE.

AND HOW YOU DIG YOUR GRAVE.

LIKE WORDS WE SPEAK…

TO HELP UP BREATHE.

STILL BEHIND THE WINDOWPANE, I STAY.

CENTERED AS THE FEAR SUBSIDES, WAITING ON THE LIGHT TO CHANGE.

“MAN HE TOOK IT HARD” I HEAR THEM SAY.

STUCK INSIDE A MOVIE SCREEN, CLOSED THE DOORS ON EVERY DREAM.

HAD YOU GIVEN UP WHEN IT WAS FOUND…

LYING UNDER CEDAR TREES, DREAMING OF THE PLOYS AND SCHEMES.

AS IT IS, THE SNOW WILL TAKE YOUR PLACE…

BUILDING ON A FLATTENED PLAIN.

FEEDING ON A BATTERED PREY.

SO NOW, SO BRAVE.

AND HOW YOU DIG YOUR GRAVE.

LIKE WORDS WE SPEAK,

TO HELP US BREATHE.

INFRARED

THERE’S ALWAYS SOMETHING STIRRING,

SOMETHING SO UNNERVING.

IT MAKES ME FEEL AWARE,

THE ROAD MAPS IN THE AIR.

AND IT ANSWERS EVERY PRAYER,

IT’S SIGHT IS INFRARED.

YOU WERE NEVER MORE DESERVING…

YOUR HEART IN HAND RETURNING.

FLIGHT OF MY MIND,

THE TIME TO SERVE THIS FEELING INSIDE, I HAD TO LEARN.

EARNED FROM EVERY BEATING, EMERGED FROM JUST BELIEVING.

FLIGHT OF MY MIND,

THE TIME TO SERVE THIS FEELING INSIDE, I HAD TO LEARN.

EARNED WITH EVERY BEATING, EMERGED FROM JUST BELIEVING.

THERE’S ALWAYS SOMETHING STIRRING,

SOMETHING SO UNNERVING.

A WINDOWSILL ABOVE A HILL

JUST BEYOND THE NORTHERN STAR,

ANOTHER WOLD TO WHERE YOU ARE.

A SUN ABOVE  AND TORRENT SEA,

GLISTENS DEEP INSIDE OF ME.

STRANDED TO A ROAMING BED,

HOVER HALLS AND BACK AGAIN.

STUCK IS NOT ENOUGH AND HOW IT WONT BECOME WHAT WE’VE DREAMED OF.

STUCK IS NOT ENOUGH AND HOW IT WONT BECOME WHAT WE’VE DREAMED OF.

IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY…

MY HEART WAS ON DISPLAY.

PUT OUT BEFORE A CROWD…

A MESSAGE TO RELAY.

AND THE MUSIC BEGAN TO PLAY…

A SULLEN TUNE SO GRAY.

YOUR ECHO FAR AWAY…

BROUGHT ME HOME TODAY.

I HAD A GLIMPSE OF WHAT WAS ALL.

A THOUSAND REASONS TO BELONG.

AND EVERY DREAM, JUST A DRONE.

EVERY WORD HARD AS STONE.

WHEN THE LIGHT BEGINS TO BREAK…

THROUGH THE COBWEBS AND THE FRAMES.

DIVIDING CUBIC SPACE,

AND JUST HOW EVERYTHING CAN CHANGE.

CHANGE.

A DAFFODIL ABOVE MY SILL…

TO KEEP ME HUSHED TO KEEP ME STILL.

A CHEAP GUITAR THAT SOUNDS SO FAR…

I’LL STRUM A CHORD AND THERE YOU ARE.

A WINDOWSILL ABOVE A HILL…

LOOK BELOW WHAT WE HAVE BUILT.

A CHILL SO FAR TO SNAP MY HEART.

BLEEDING MORE TO DROP MY GUARD…

MY GOD.

MY GOD.

MY GOD.

BLACK LINE HORIZON

BLACK LINE HORIZON, PULL ME DEEP.

LAYERS OF STARDUST, SLOWLY SEEP.

AS I BREATHE, AS I RELEASE…

FLOODING THE NOTHING THAT FAINTLY BEATS.

SURRENDER, WHAT BETTER…

A SINGLE SCOPIC FEATHER

A SPIN INTO FOREVER

FATHER THE STRINGS,

THAT TIE ME TO THEE.

FARTHER THE STRINGS,

THAT TIE ME TO THEE.

BLACK LINE HORIZON, SWALLOW DEEP.

LAYERS OF STARDUST, NUMBED ME TO SLEEP.

THE CURRENTS BREATHE, AS I RELEASE…

FLOODING THE NOTHING THAT ONCE WAS ME.

SURRENDER, WHAT BETTER.

A SINGLE SCOPIC FEATHER, A SPIN INTO FOREVER.

FATHER THE STRINGS, THAT TIE ME TO THEE.

CRASHING FORWARD AS WE SHINE,

AS WILD AS THE NIGHT.

1000 CIRCLES RUN MY MIND,

ANOTHER MIRROR TELLING TIME.

MY BODY BREAKS RECEIVING, BELIEVING,

100 WAYS OF DREAMING AND DECEIVING…

GRIEVING AND CONCEALING.

AND HOW IT BURNS THROUGH EVERY THOUGHT.

HOW IT NEEDS FROM EVERY PART

HOW IT TURNS INSIDE YOUR HEART

HOW IT CRUMBLES ALL YOUR GUARD AWAY

BLACK LINE HORIZON, SET ME FREE

COVERED IN STARDUST, MY SPIRIT IS RELEASED.

BREATHE

YOU KNOW I DON’T FEEL A THING…

THE BELLS IN MY HEAD, GO RING… RING.

CUT ME OUT AND FADE TO ANOTHER SCENE.

SAVE A LITTLE TIME, TO BREATHE.

CAN’T STAND TO FEEL THIS SIDE OF REAL…

CAN’T STAND WHAT I WANTED TO SAY.

THE NIGHT COULD DISSOLVE INTO DAY,

AND EVERYTHING COULD BE REPLACED.

WHAT WAS I TRYING TO SAY?

WHEN DID EVERYTHING LOSE ITS PLACE?

HOW WILL THIS MOVE FORWARD?

WHERE DO I FIND THE STRENGTH?

IF YOU THINK IT’S OVER NOW,

IM WITH YOU.

IF WHAT YOU WANT IS SILENCE HOW…  I’LL GIVE IT

ALL YOU FEEL IS OVER ME,

RIGHT FROM STARS AND CLOUDS.

IF YOU THINK IT’S OVER NOW,

IM WITH YOU.

IF WHAT YOU WANT IS SILENCE HOW…  I’LL GIVE IT

ALL YOU SEE IS OVER ME,

RIGHT FROM STARS AND CLOUDS.

 

ELEVATE

I’VE GOT TO GET…

HOME MY MIND IS SET.

TELEPHONES FROM ROOMS UNKNOWN,

THROUGH STATIC WE CONNECT.

SHUFFLE THROUGH THE LETTERS,

THROUGH THE STUTTERS, THE MISSED ENDEAVORS.

I’LL FIND A WAY TO FLY THROUGH THE NIGHT,

AND ALL IT’S NEVERS.

EVERY TIME I DREAM, THE SKY IS SPLITTING AT THE SEAMS.

EVERYDAY I WAKE, I BREAK THE POTIONS THAT YOU LEAVE.

IS THIS HOPE, IS THIS LIVING?

ARE WE CLOSER TO FORGIVING?

DO I COPE WHAT WHAT I’M GIVEN?

WHAT’S THE POINT?

WHO WILL LISTEN?

ELEVATE ME HIGHER,

GET ME CLOSER TO THE SKY.

AND ALL THE WEIGHT IS BREAKING UP,

I’M STUNNED AT WHAT I’M GIVING UP…

ENOUGH… TO LOVE,

ENOUGH… TO GIVE UP,

BUT IT’S HOW YOU PLAY…

IT’S THE WORDS YOU SAY.

ELEVATE ME HIGHER,

GET ME CLOSER TO THE SKY.

FIVE PAST TEN,

AND I’M NOWHERE AGAIN.

THE SENTENCE FALLS,

THE WALLS REVOLVE,

I’M READY TO REPENT.

AND HOW YOUR VOICE COULD FILL A VOID,

HOW IT TRAVELS THROUGH THE NOISE.

TO THE POINT OF MEMORY,

BREAKING EVERY BARRIER EMPLOYED.

EVERY TIME I SCREAM MY MIND IS STUNNED IN DISBELIEF.

EVERYDAY I SAY MY HEART IS STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE…

WHAT HAS GONE, WHY I’VE LONGED.

WHAT IS SCRIBBLED IN THIS SONG.

HOW I SEARCH FOR THE WORDS,

TO GET BACK WHAT I’VE LOST…

GET BACK WHAT I’VE LOST.

ELEVATE ME HIGHER,

GET ME CLOSER TO THE SKY.

AND ALL THE WEIGHT IS BREAKING UP,

I’M STUNNED AT WHAT I’M GIVING UP…

ENOUGH… TO LOVE,

ENOUGH… TO GIVE UP.

BUT IT’S HOW YOU PLAY…

IT’S THE WORDS YOU SAY.

ELEVATE ME HIGHER,

MY HEART HAS TURNED INSIDE.

I’M AFRAID I’M BREAKING UP,

I’M STUNNED AT WHAT I’M GIVING UP…

ENOUGH TO LOVE…

ENOUGH TO GIVE UP.

BUT IT’S HOW YOU PLAY…

IT’S THE WORDS YOU SAY.

SPIDER BITE

SOMETHING’S COMING OVER ME…

SUMMER HEAT AND DRIFTING LEAVES.

CAN’T CONTROL THESE MEMORIES…

INITIALS CARVED IN ROWS OF TREES.

WHISPER ECHOS ONE TO NONE…

BESIDE A SILHOUETTE, A BRIGHT, A LIGHT

UPON A SPIDER BITE.

STILL MY EYES ARE CLOSED TO DREAM,

HALO’S HANGING OVER ME.

CIRCLES RUN MY TIRED MIND,

LIKE TIME RETURNING FROM A CRIME.

ABOVE A CLOUD,

BELOW ME FEET,

UNDER THE EARTH,

UNDER THE SEA.

JUST A MOMENT MORE, I FELT THE PULSE AGAIN.

JUST A SECOND MORE, THIS FEVER WON’T RELENT, AGAIN, AGAIN.

FALL TO THE FLOOR, STUMBLE IN REGRET.

JUST FOREVER MORE, THE FEAR WILL NEVER END AGAIN, AGAIN.

AND A MEDAL FOR THE COURAGE AND DISCONTENT.

AND ANOTHER DOOR TO BRING YOU HERE AGAIN, AGAIN.

DROP TO THE FLOOR, MUMBLE AND REPENT.

AND FOREVER MORE THAT DAMAGE MUST BE KEPT AGAIN, AGAIN.

SOMETHING’S STIRRING IN THE BREEZE.

THIRTY WISHES AT YOUR FEET.

I CAN’T PUT TRUST IN WHAT I SEE.

I WON’T RESOLVE TO WHAT WILL BE.

SECRETS FALL TO WHAT WILL COME,

SYNCHRONIZED TO BEATING DRUMS.

INSIDE A SILHOUETTE SUBSIDES A BLINDING LIGHT TO CAGE THE CRIME.

STILL THIS HOPE IS CLOSE TO ME,

EYES ARE WATCHING EVERY SCENE,

BLISTERS BURN MY BURDENED HANDS,

CLAWING THROUGH YOUR DESERT SANDS.

ABOVE A DOUBT…

BELOW DECEIT…

ENGULFED IN TEARS…

THAT FLOOD IN ME.

JUST A MOMENT MORE, I FELT THE PULSE AGAIN.

JUST A SECOND MORE, THIS FEVER WON’T RELENT, AGAIN, AGAIN.

FALL TO THE FLOOR, STUMBLE IN REGRET.

JUST FOREVER MORE, THIS FEAR WILL NEVER END AGAIN, AGAIN.

AND A MEDAL FOR THE COURAGE AND DISCONTENT.

AND ANOTHER DOOR TO BRING YOU HERE AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN.

DROP TO THE FLOOR, MUMBLE AND REPENT.

AND FOREVER MORE THAT DAMAGE MUST BE KEPT AGAIN, AGAIN.

INFINITE

THERE’S NO USE MAKING IT HARDER THAN IT SEEMS.

EVERYTHING I DO IS TOUCHED WITH GREED.

EVERY LITTLE SCHEME IS RUNNING WILD…

AND I DON’T THINK MY MIND IS FIT TO TRY.

SLOW THE MOMENTS ROLL INTO A STONE.

ENOUGH TO CRUMBLE MEMORIES AND BONES.

I DON’T THINK MY SPIRITS GOING TO SLEEP…

I DON’T THINK THAT PEACE IS IN MY REACH.

DAMNED TO HOW IT FEELS…

BLACK IS HOW IS SEEMS…

STRAIGHT INTO MY HEART,

SLAMMED UNTIL IT BLEEDS.

ALL OF WHAT I FEEL, IS FAR FROM WHAT IS REAL.

WHATEVER IT IS, LEAVE IT ALONE.

I’VE BEEN HOLDING ON SO LONG.

WHATEVER IT IS, LEAVE IT ALONE.

I’VE BEEN HOLDING ON SO LONG.

WHATEVER IT IS, YOU STILL GOTTA HOPE.

WE’VE  BEEN HOPING ALL ALONG.

WHATEVER IT IS, LEAVE IT ALONE.

I’VE BEEN HOLDING ON SO LONG.

SO LONG…

SO LONG…

SO LONG.

POLARIZE

SATELLITE REPLY…

SON, ARISE UNTO THE NIGHT.

LOVE IS BEGUN ON WORDS ALONE.

WORDS BECOME WEAPONS FROM OUR TONGUES.

SATELLITE REMIND,

OF A TIME WHEN OUR HANDS HELD THE SKY.

DO WE COPE, WITH EVERYTHING THAT’S BROKE.

DRIFTING SLOW, AWAY FROM WHAT IS HOME.

IN BETWEEN THE DAYS I’VE SEEN,

A STEADY SLIP INTO A DREAM.

HAUNTED HOW A FACE CAN CHANGE,

HOW TEARS CAN DRIP INTO A DRAIN.

TWISTED FORTH AND FROM BELIEF,

A SIREN CALLS ABOVE A SEA,

BURNED OF TRUST, OF ALL WE’VE CHANGED…

NUMB TO EVERY TIRED GAME.

LET IT RUN DOWN…

SET IT STAR BOUND…

SAID IT WAS BEAUTIFULLY BORING.

STAND STILL, STAND PROUD,

SLIP SLOW WINDFALL….

LEFT YOU SPINNING ROUND.

LET IT EVOLVE…

PRESSED AGAINST GRAVITY AND GROUND.

ALL I HEAR…

YOUR VOICE HOWL.

SATELLITE REPLY…

SON, ARISE UNTO THE NIGHT.

LOVE IS BEGUN ON WORDS ALONE.

WORDS BECOME WEAPONS FROM OUR TONGUES.

FORTRESS

LISTEN HOW A WORD CAN SEEM…

A WORD CAN SEEM LIKE HOME.

A FORTRESS MADE OF JUST,

A FORTRESS MADE OF STONE.

IT’S HARD TO SEE THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE SEEN.

IT’S FAR FROM ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE IN BETWEEN.

AGAIN…

IT’S DOWN TO WHAT IS SPENT.

AGAIN…

IT CRUMBLES TO AN END.

I NEED TO STAY…

A COMMON FACE, JUST THE SAME…

DOES IT SEEM SO STRANGE?

I NEED TO STAY…

A COMMON FACE, JUST THE SAME…

IT DOESN’T SEEM SO STRANGE.

I NEED TO STAY…

A COMMON FACE, JUST THE SAME…

DOES IT SEEM SO STRANGE?

I NEED TO STAY.

WE FELL OUT OF THE SKY

WE FELL OUT OF THE SKY,

WE FELL OUT FROM THE SKY,

CLOUDS BEGAN TO CRY.

GRAVITY IS GONE,

GRAVITY IS DONE,

I AM FLOATING FREE, THE STRINGS ARE NOT ENOUGH.

HOLDING ON TO WHAT IT WAS I LOVED.

EVERYTHING I GAVE, NOT ENOUGH.

EVERYTHING AROUND ME SEEM SO YOUNG,

EVERY LIGHT THAT SHINES A GLEAMING SUN.

AND STILL MY HEARTBEAT RUNS…

SLOWER ONE BY ONE…

STRUNG OUT FROM ABOVE.

NOW THE PICTURE HAS BEGUN…

THE AIR ESCAPES MY LUNGS…

WHEN DID I GIVE UP?

NOW I SEE THE COLORS THROUGH YOUR EYES.

NOW I FEEL THE DAMAGE OF TONIGHT.

ALL YOUR WORDS LEADING AS A GUIDE.

ALL MISTAKES DRIVEN FROM MY MIND.

WE FELL OUT OF THE SKY,

WE FELL OUT FROM THE SKY,

CLOUDS BEGAN TO CRY.

GRAVITY IS GONE,

GRAVITY IS DONE…

I AM FLOATING FREE, THE STRINGS ARE NOT ENOUGH.

WE FELL OUT OF THE SKY,

WE FELL OUT FROM THE SKY,

CLOUDS BEGAN TO CRY.

GRAVITY IS DONE,

GRAVITY IS DONE…

I AM FLOATING FREE, THE STRINGS ARE NOT ENOUGH.

DUST AND CLOUDS

SOFTLY STILL THE MORNING LIES,

AND HOW IT GIVES… BEGINS THE REST.

INVENT A GHOST BELOW OUR BED…

THIS CROWDED HOUSE OF DUST AND CLOUDS.

A PLACE FOR ALL OUR EMPTY SOUNDS…

A PLACE FOR EVERY CURSE WE’VE FOUND.

HOW FAST THE LIGHT BEGINS TO CRASH,

UPON OUR BODIES SET TO CAST.

AWAY FROM THE WAY WE LIVE,

AND HOW YOUR VOICE COULD ONLY GIVE.

HOW FAR CAN THIS BE FROM ME,

I’VE DONE THE BEST FOR BROKEN DREAMS.

WHAT IS THIS THAT SETS ME FREE,

WHAT IS THIS THAT LETS ME BE…

MY HEART BEATS LESS AND LESS.

MY HEART BEATS LESS AND LESS.

ONCE WE TOOK A VIOLENT SKY,

AND TURNED IT INTO THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT.

TO SHINE OUR WAY THROUGH ENDLESS NIGHT,

TO GLIDE BETWEEN WHAT THEY DIVIDE.

TO SHINE OUR WAY THROUGH ENDLESS NIGHT,

TO GLIDE BETWEEN WHAT THEY DIVIDE.

DAMAGE DONE

OBLITERATE THE STATE,

OF HOW WE RELATE.

FLOOD THE HOME,

FROM WHERE YOU’VE ROAMED.

BURNING TRAILS…

EVERYWHERE THE DAMAGE DONE.

SET THE STAGE…

THE ONE YOU’RE ALWAYS DREAMING OF.

DISINTEGRATE THE SPACE,

AS I LAY TO WATCH THE RAIN.

GIVEN GRACE,

I’LL SLIDE INTO A NUMBING HAZE.

THIRTY WAVES I’VE ROAMED,

TO GET SO CLOSE.

THIRTY YEARS I BROKE

WITH STICKS AND STONES.

SO THE DRUM IS BEATING SLOW.

AND THE HOPE BEGINS TO GROW.

ALL THE PLACES I HAVE KNOWN…

ALL THE COLORS THAT I’VE SHOWN.

INTO YOUR DREAMS

WELL THERE’S THAT BUZZ COMING FROM THE FRIDGE AGAIN

KEEPING TRACK OF MY SANITY

THOUGH THE PICTURES COME THEY DON’T MAKE SENSE

FARTHER THAN A MEMORY

THE COLOR SCHEME  MISSPELLS SERENE  TAKING SOIL FROM THESE TREES

BUT JUST ONE LOOK

A CHEAP ASS HOOK AND YOU’LL MAKE A NOTE OF…

AS THE MUSE WILL TEMPT ME

YOU TOSS AND TURN AND SWEAR YOU MISS ME

WILL YOU CHOSE TO TAKE ME

UP TO YOUR DREAMS

TALKING ’BOUT LOVE AND LIFE FOR CENTURIES

INTO YOUR DREAMS

INTO YOUR DREAMS

INTO YOUR DREAMS

INTO YOUR DREAMS

TALKING ’BOUT ALL WE ARE BUT EMPTY

THE MORE WE MAKE THE MORE WE BREAK

THESE VOWS THEY SELL THEM AT A CORNER STORE

IF NOT FOR NOW THEN ALL WE ARE AND ALL WE ARE HERE IS WAITING FOR

WHAT COULD NEVER BE  IF I COULD NOT SEE THIS HEART TIED TO IT’S SOUL

AS THE MUSE WILL TEMPT ME

YOU TOSS AND TURN AND SWEAR YOU MISS ME

WILL YOU CHOSE TO TAKE ME

UP TO YOUR DREAMS

TALKING ’BOUT LOVE AND LIFE FOR CENTURIES

INTO YOUR DREAMS TALKING ’BOUT ALL WE ARE BUT EMPTY

LIKE A GHOST

CLOSE FOR ME THOSE EYES

AND LET ME FEEL YOUR LIFELINE

PULL ME HIGH ABOVE YOUR SKY

ABOVE YOUR FADING HUES

AND FLOWING ORANGE BLUES

GONE IS EVERY REASON

LOST IS EVERY SEASON

SPIRALING DOWN TO THE CORE

LEAVING ME WANTING FOR MORE

YOU COME TO ME JUST LIKE A GHOST

FEET ON THE GROUND

I COUNT THE STEPS TO WHERE YOU ARE

THE PULSE IS AROUND

LIKE ENERGY FLOWING FROM STARS

AND WHERE YOU LAY YOUR THOUGHTS RELAY A SONG

TO SEPARATE THE RIGHT FROM THE WRONG

AND WHERE YOU LAY  YOUR HEART RELAYS A SONG

THAT INTEGRATES THE RIGHT WITH THE WRONG

IN A BIT

IT’S THAT TIME OF DAY WHEN MY THOUGHTS JUST STOP AND THE COLOR STAYS

I COULD FEEL YOU

I WANT TO KNOW THE WORLD YOU LOCKED INSIDE YOU

I NEED TO SEE THE SKIES YOU SEEM TO HIDE BEHIND YOUR EYES

THAT MAKE ME REALIZE THAT I CAN TAKE YOU EVERYWHERE I GO

I’LL PUT YOU IN MY FAVORITE SONG

I’LL LISTEN TO YOU ALL NIGHT LONG

WHERE EVERY WORDS A FRAME IN THIS MOVIE WE’VE BEGUN

I’M SLEEPING WITH MY HEADPHONES ON

MAYBE I CAN TURN THIS SONG INTO A DREAM AGAIN

NOT PRETEND PRESS REPEAT DOESN’T HAVE TO END

BEFORE I WAKE UP

BEFORE I STARE TOO LONG

I’LL TROUBLE MINE FOR A PIECE OF YOURS AND YOU TAKE ME

FOR HOURS

YOU’D THINK WE’VE BEEN HERE A MILLION YEARS

HOW I STILL GET LOST IN ALL YOU MAKE ME FEEL

I’LL PUT YOU IN MY FAVORITE SONG

I’LL LISTEN TO YOU ALL NIGHT LONG

WHERE EVERY WORDS A FRAME IN THIS MOVIE WE’VE BEGUN

I’M SLEEPING WITH MY HEADPHONES ON

MAYBE I CAN TURN THIS SONG INTO A DREAM AGAIN

NOT PRETEND PRESS REPEAT DOESN’T HAVE TO END

OVERWHELMED

I FOUND THIS LOVE

STORED IN AN EMOTIONAL GREENHOUSE

HIDDEN AND SHADED

LEFT UNPERSUADED

WAITING FOR A SIGN FROM GOD

IT SEEMS SOMEHOW

A SMALL BUNDLE OF LIGHT HAS TOUCHED IT’S CROWN

NOW DESTINY’S WAITING

A BIT UNDERSTATING

MAYBE NOT AN ACT OF GOD

YOU THINK YOU FIGURED OUT WHAT MAKE THE WORLD TURN FASTER FASTER HOPING DOESN’T WORK NOT WHEN THE TRUTH IS WHAT YOU’RE AFTER

I KNOW                                                                 I’M OVERWHELMED

I KNOW                                                                  AND I’VE HIT THE FLOOR

SO FAR AWAY                                          CAUGHT IN A DRIFT THAT I CAN’T IGNORE

MOVING SO FAR AWAY                                                    I NEVER GUESSED

TAKE THIS DREAM

PULL YOURSELF CLOSE TO ME

WITH THIS DREAM

I’LL KEEP YOUR BREATH CLOSE TO ME

I KNOW

I KNOW

I KNOW

I KNOW

AND COUNTING

LET’S GO

IT’S TOO FAR FROM HERE

 THE DISTANCE MAY APPEAR OUT OF REACH

BUT IT’S ONLY FEAR

LET’S GO

PHOTON PARTICLE GIVE ME STRENGTH

SHINE ME IN

HOW MANY MORE WILL WE SEIZE

THE STARS ONLY PLANT THE SEEDS

WE’LL GROW INTO WHAT WE BELIEVE

BELIEVE ME

I DON’T MIND AT ALL

SO MUCH TO SEE

AND TAKE WITH ME

BEFORE I GO TOO FAR

BEFORE I GO TOO FAR

I KNOW

I TOOK SO LONG TO BREATHE

I FEEL AIR PUSHING ME

OUT AND IN OF MY DREAM

CLOSER CLOSE

TAKE ME IN

BELIEVE ME

I DON’T MIND AT ALL

SO MUCH TO SEE

AND TAKE WITH ME BEFORE I GO TOO FAR

BEFORE I GO TOO FAR

DEAL

SO I THOUGHT ABOUT IT

I’M SURFING WAVES THROUGHOUT MY MIND

FLIPPING CHANNELS TILL I FIND

THE VIEW THAT’S GONNA WORK FOR ME THIS TIME

SHOULD I WALK AWAY

SHOULD I BEG TO STAY

YOU CAN BE CLOSE

YOU CAN HANG TIGHT

WHEN YOU DON’T CONNECT

YOU STILL FELL LONELY

YOUR MOUTH GOES ON WITHOUT IT

I’M WELL AWARE OF JUST HOW FAR

THE TRUTH CAN STRETCH UNTIL I FIND

THE VIEW THAT’S GONNA WORK FOR ME THIS TIME

WE CAN GRAVITATE WE CAN LOVE JUST MAKE

YOU CAN STAY CLOSE

YOU CAN HANG TIGHT

WHEN DO CONNECT YOU WON’T FEEL LONELY

YOU SEE THE THING ABOUT

I CAN’T JUST WASTE AWAY THIS LIFE

DON’T WANT WANT THE REASONS THAT AREN’T MINE

I DON’T NEED PERFECT ALL THE TIME

I’LL TAKE THE SUNSHINE I DESERVE

I’LL KEEP THE PICTURES THAT I LIKE

I’LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING I KNOW

DON’T WANT WANT THE REASONS THAT AREN’T MINE

I DON’T NEED PERFECT ALL THE TIME

I’LL TAKE THE SUNSHINE I DESERVE

I’LL KEEP THE PICTURES THAT I LIKE

I’LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING I KNOW

WHAT YOU WILL

I FOUND YOUR BOOK YOU MARKED WITH COLORED PAPER

CIRCLES AND LINES AND NO ERASER

I’LL SHARE THIS PRAYER WITH YOU

HOPE YOU FIND ALL THAT’S TRUE

AND MAKE IT WHAT YOU WILL

AND MAKE IT WHAT YOU WILL

I PICTURE YOUR FACE AND BABBLED CONVERSATION

I THINK OF THE WAY YOU MODIFIED MY INTENTION

I’LL SHARE THIS PRAYER WITH YOU

HOPE YOU FIND ALL THAT’S TRUE

AND MAKE IT WHAT YOU WILL

AND MAKE IT WHAT YOU WILL

MAY YOU SEE MORE THAN YOU THINK YOUR ALLOWED

I’LL SHARE THIS PRAYER WITH YOU

HOPE YOU FIND ALL THAT’S TRUE

AND MAKE IT WHAT YOU WILL

AND MAKE IT WHAT YOU WILL

MAKE IT WHAT YOU WILL

MAKE IT WHAT YOU WILL


BEFORE YOU’RE SOMEONE ELSE

IT ALL BEGINS ABOVE A CLOUD

TAKE AWAY THE GROUND

AND THERE’LL BE NOWHERE LEFT TO START FROM

YOU’RE ONLY YOURSELF FOR SOMETIME

BEFORE YOU’RE SOMEONE ELSE

I DON’T TO CONNECT ONLY TO THE GROUND

I WANT TO FEEL ALL THAT’S AROUND

MEANING FOUND TO PUZZLES WE CAN’T SOLVE

OTHERWISE WE’D BE BORED TO …

WHEN ALL THE PIECES FIT

SURELY

WE’LL COME BACK SOMEDAY

FIND ANOTHER STAR AND PLAY

I DON’T TO CONNECT ONLY TO THE GROUND

I WANT TO FEEL ALL THAT’S AROUND

LEARN TO LEARN ALL OVER AGAIN

FIND A LOVE AND DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN

IS THAT CALLED LOVE

NOW IT’S DONE

YOUR # 1 SON

I DID IT ALL

BUT LOOK WHAT IT’S BECOME.

I SHOULDN’T GIVE

I THOUGHT I KNEW MY PLACE

I HAD IT ALL…

I’VE HAD ENOUGH.

TAKE IT ALL…

IS THAT ENOUGH?

IS THAT CALLED LOVE?

TELL IT ALL

I FELL BEHIND.

BUT IN MY HEART, I…

GAVE IT ALL AWAY.

I’VE HAD ENOUGH.

I GAVE IT ALL.

YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

BUT NOW IT’S DONE.

IF IT’S WHAT YOU WANT 

IF IT’S WHAT YOU WANT…

DO IT.

THE SUNLIGHT SINGS,

THE SKY HAS STOPPED TO VIEW IT.

CAN WE HAVE A HAND?

WE’LL HELP YOU STAND.

THE MIND IS FIXED TO HEAR THE MASTER PLAN.

YOU STUMBLED AT THE START,

YOUR LIPS WERE PINNED,

YOU EYES GREW TO THE DISTANCE,

AS IF TO ASK PERMISSION

FROM THE PERFECT DAYS,

WHERE ANSWERS CAME,

INSIDE A DREAM SO CLEAN,

THE FEELING BREAKS.

     KICK BACK

     COLLAPSE

     MY HEART RELAPSED.

     THE FEVER STOPS THE LIGHT IN FLIGHT,

     BENEATH MY FEET, REPEATING CREAKS….

     TALK BETWEEN THIS FADED DREAM.

     YOUR EYES REVISE THE THOUGHTS INSIDE,

     THE JUMP GETS TOUGH TO BLOW MY MIND,

     LESS DRIVEN…

     LESS GOLD…

     LESS GIVEN…

     LESS SOLD…

     LESS AMAZED BY THE LIES YOU TOLD.

YOU NEVER GO TOO FAR,

YOUR LIPS REPEAT.

THEY BREATHE FROM THE RIPPLES OF DECEIT.

LIKE A GOLDEN STAR,

ABOVE A MAZE…

SO THE SOLACE,

SPILLS INTO GRAY.

EVERY PULSE YOU SEND,

REPEATING LIFE,

STOPS AT AN OCEAN, BREAKING HIGH.

AND THE HARM YOU FEEL…

WILL FOLD TO TEN,

AS STEPS REPEAT, DELETING CHANCE OF END.

NOW YOU SEE THE POINT,

OF CLOSE AND FAR…

NOW THE FRAME SHOWS COLORS FROM YOUR HEART.

AND THE PAGE GLOWS BRIGHT,

TOO BRIGHT FOR SIGHT…

A BLINDING SHOW OF IGNORANCE AND PRIDE.

THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT…

DO IT.

THE SUNLIGHT SINGS,

THE SKY HAS STOPPED TO VIEW IT.

CLOSE

IF YOU LOOK CLOSE ENOUGH

YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING MOVE AROUND YOU

THE CEILING

LOOK THERE

LOOK THROUGH THE WINDOW

THERE’S A LIGHT SHINING INSIDE

LOOK AT THE DOOR

IT MOVED  A FEW INCHES

EVERYTHING IS SWIRLING

EVERYTHING IS SWIRLING

IF YOU LOOK CLOSE ENOUGH

YOU COULD SEE YOURSELF MOVE

YOU COULD SEE YOURSELF MOVE

AND THE COVERS WON’T KEEP STILL

AND YOUR ARMS HANG OVER THE BED

AND IT WON’T KEEP STILL

IF YOU LOOK CLOSE ENOUGH

YOU COULD SEE EVERYTHING MOVE

AND THE LIGHT OUTSIDE…

AND THE LIGHT OUTSIDE…

AND THE LIGHT OUTSIDE.

LOOK AT YOUR HANDS

THE DOOR MOVED A FEW INCHES

AND THE LIGHT OUTSIDE

MOVES IN WAVES TOWARD YOU

IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY

YOU CAN SEE YOUR HEART MOVE

THERE

AND THERE AGAIN

AND THESE COVERS WON’T KEEP STILL

AND THESE COVERS WON’T KEEP STILL

EVERYTHING MOVES IN CIRCLES

EVERYTHING SWIRLS

IF YOU LOOK CLOSE ENOUGH

IF YOU LOOK CLOSE ENOUGH

30 MILES

                                                        24 HOURS IN A DAY

7 DAYS A WEEK

30 MILES FROM THE MOUNTAINSIDE

20 MINUTES ‘TILL WE PEAK.

SPOONS UPON MY TINTED KNEE

MISERY TAKES A LEAD

YOU STAND BESIDE TO PUSH A FIGHT

THE KITE GLIDES IN THE SKY.

MY EYES…

MY EYES…

MY EYELIDS FALL

MY CONSCIENCE CALLS

I’M WRAPPED INSIDE THIS DIRTY WALL

EVERYBODY CALLS

EVERYBODY CRAWLS.

AREN’T YOU SO PROUD?

AREN’T YOU SO PROUD?

AREN’T YOU SO PROUD?

AREN’T YOU?

YOU.

GO TO BED

THE TRAIN WON’T WAIT

ARMS THAT PULL ME DOWN

WHATEVER IS LEFT OF HOPE IS DEAD.

I TURNED IT INTO SOUND

I TURNED IT INTO SOUND

I TURNED THEM INTO SOUND

TURN

DROP THE SKY

NEVER SAID

NEVER SAVE

NEVER DID…

I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE GOING TO GIVE.

WELL NEVER MIND HOW HARD I TRY

DROP THE SKY

THE NIGHT BEGINS

BEGIN.

THE SHADE RELAYS THE PATH FOR YOU TO PAVE

DON’T THROW AWAY THE CHANCE THEY GAVE

NEVER SAID I WAS THE BEST

NEVER RANKED WITH ALL THE REST

MY EYES REGRESSED.

DON’T FAIL ME NOW

I’M NOT SO SURE I CAN COPE WITH THIS.

KEPT THE FAITH FOR WORDS YOU SPOKE

NEVER THOUGHT THAT I’D LOSE HOPE.

I GAVE IT AWAY.

DON’T FAIL ME KNOW

I’VE COME SO FAR TO COME TO THIS.

SHOULD I COUNT THE TIME YOU SOLD…

COULD I CALL THIS FEELING HOME?

I GIVE IN

LET THE CIRCLE BEGIN

CUT CLEAN, REDEEMED

I STUMBLED TO MY KNEES

DEEPER STILL THE TROUBLE SHOWS

MOST OF ALL, THE WEAKNESS GROWS.

DRIFTING STILL TOWARDS A DREAM

YOUR HEART BEGINS WITH MINE.

FIRE-FLY

WHERE DID IT GO?

HOW DID I LOSE CONTROL?

WHISPER WORDS INTO MY EAR

GIVE ME HOPE.

FIREFLY, THE SUN WILL RISE

                                               FALL INTO THE DARKEST NIGHT

WEIGHTLESS STRANDS OF HANDS

PULL MY EVERY PLAN.

AND YOU’RE KNOCKING AT MY DOOR

YOU’RE POUNDING AT MY DOOR

YOU WANT TO HEAR THE REASONS

WELL IT’S TIME TO GO TO WAR.

CAMERAS FLASH

THE MOMENTS LAST

THE WORLD BEGINS TO ROAR AT LAST

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FIND MY HOME?

NIGHT LIGHTS FIND THE EYES THAT SEE…

THE BLIND WILL WRITE THE FINAL SCENE

IT’S NOT BECAUSE I’VE HAD ENOUGH…

IT’S JUST THAT THINGS HAVE COME UNDONE

MY HOPE IS GONE, BUT…

ALL OF THESE TEARS DRIP AWAY

ALL THAT I’VE BUILT DOWN THE DRAIN

SILENT I CLIMB TO THE SKY

STRANDED BY YOU, SO I’LL…

     HOLD ON, IT’S MUCH TOO SOON

     HOLD ON, IT’S A VIOLENT STORM

     HOLD ON, THE HEART HAS TIRED

WHAT WERE YOU

TRYING TO SAY?

WORDS

WORDS ON TOP OF WORDS…

BUILD UP LIKE SKYSCRAPERS IN MY MIND…

BUT THIS DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU THINK

YOU SEE, IT DOESN’T SEEM TO STICK

ANOTHER TRICK THAT TURNS MY HEAD TO THINK THAT

THIS IS IT

WELL COUNT ME OUT

I’M BETTER OFF WITH GUITARS PLUCKED PAST THE CLOUDS

YOU MADE ME PROUD

WHEN THE DAYS TURNED INTO YEARS

YOU PLAYED THE GAME

YOUR LIPS REFRAINED

PREDICTING EVERY DREAM WOULD FINALLY END

AND I REALLY THINK

MY TELEPHONE WILL RING AT 3AM

ARE YOU THERE???

HOW… DID THINGS GET SO TOTALLY DERANGED?

     DRIVING PAST TRAFFIC

     MY HANDS TURNED TO PLASTIC

     HAD TO STOP AT THE CROSS TO FIND SOMEONE TO LISTEN

     I FINALLY BROKE WHEN THE MEDIATOR SPOKE…

     ”PLEASE WAIT OUTSIDE, THERE’S NO MORE ROOM IN HERE FOR HOPE.”

     RUNNING PAST TRAFFIC

     SCREAMING C.I.A. TACTICS

     GOTTA FIND SOME PLACE INSIDE

     BEFORE I SPLIT INTO FRACTIONS.

     17 LEAPS OVER OCEANS AND SEAS

     AND EVERY WORD YOU SHOUTED SEEMS TO ALWAYS REPEAT.

ASPEN TREES

I’M ON A TRAIL

WITH THE SUNLIGHT

AND THE SNAILS

I’LL SAY IT’S MY MISTAKE.

ASPEN TREES FLOAT

ABOVE THE SPIDERS WEAVING HOMES

I THOUGHT I’D SEEN A GHOST

IT MIGHT BE SOME/MY MISTAKE.

I TOOK ALL THE WRONG

SCRIBBLED IT INTO A SONG

IT’S HARD TO STAY AT HOME

THE SHUTTERS SHIFT AND MOAN.

OH…

HOW DID I …

LOSE MY…

PASSING CARS

EVERYTHING YOU FEEL

EVERYTHING YOU SEE

FALLS FROM THE CLOUDS

SETTLES INTO STEAM

ALL THESE PASSING CARS

TAKE TO A PLACE

FROM A MOMENTS CRASH

TO THE ENDLESS RACE

EVERYTHING YOU FEEL

ANYTHING YOU NEED

FLOWS FROM THE CLOUD

JUST BELOW YOUR BROW

ALL THESE SILENT LIVES

BUILDING BLOCKS FROM PRIDE

ALL THESE STEPS ABOVE

FINALLY FIND RESIGN

MOSAICO – Magic Midsummer

SPINNING DOWN

CALLING TO THE LAST OF THE SOULS

FROM A HOODLUM PAST

ALL THE PLAYERS FROM A SECOND CAST REVEAL

THE TALENT OF APPEAL

A NUCLEAR BLAST,

A DRIVE SO FAST…

YOU LOSE THE WHEEL

STUCK TO THE FEEL

QUARTER TO THE LAST OF SMOKES

IN MY LUCKY PACK

HEADLIGHTS SHINING

RAIN DROPS GLIDING

GOD THIS CAN’T BE REAL

THERE… THE REAR VIEW MIRROR

CAUGHT MY EYE AND GAVE ME SHIVERS

DON’T STOP

REWIND THE SONG

I’LL PUSH THE DROP

TILL I MAKE YOU QUIVER

SISTER SEND

YOUR DREAMS TO THE END

TRIPPED UP SILENT CRIMES

ARE TRYING TO SUBSIDE

AN ELOQUENT  PRIDE

LEAVE ‘EM BY THE DOOR

WE’RE OFF TO A VIOLENT STRIDE

ALL THE STARS ARE PINNING DOWN

EVERY IMPULSE TO THE GROUND

DID YOU GET THE CHANCE TO SEE

THE FRAGMENTS FLY FROM YOU TO ME

ANXIETY FOUND AT THE SOUND

OF THE THUNDER IN CLOUDS

EVERYONE STARES AS I SCREAM OUT LOUD

FORGET WHAT ABOUT

BETTER STAND UP STRAIGHT

DON’T BE AFRAID

TO FACE THIS

I CAN’T RESIST

MY BEATING HEART REPLIES

TO THE CHEMICAL BLISS

STUCK IN A WRINKLE IN TIME

TRYING TO FIND MY HEAD

JUST GIVE ME A SIGN

I’LL WALK THE LINE

LIKE STEVE MCQUEEN

IN A BULLET, I’M HARD TO FIND

STILL STICKING WITH THE BEAT

IT’S THE SOUND UNDERGROUND

THAT TURNS ME UPSIDE DOWN

TOWN, WITH THE MASSES ON THE STREET

PUSHING FOR A BUZZ THAT WILL SURELY

SET ME FREE

CALL A LOVER WITH A DIME

PICK ME UP AND KICK BACK WITH THIS RHYME

ALL THE STARS ARE SPINNING DOWN

EVERY IMPULSE TO THE GROUND

DID YOU GET THE CHANCE TO SEE

THE FRAGMENTS FLY FROM YOU TO ME

FIRE BELOW

YOU FIGURED OUT

YOU’RE A MILLION MILES FROM HOPE

THERE’S NOTHING TO CONSIDER

THERE’S A FIRE BELOW

SO YOU CONTINUE TO CLIMB THE ROPE

THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER

AND ALL THESE FACES

IN THE STATION

WAIT SO PATIENT

FOR YOUR FINAL REVELATION

AND I STILL PREDICT

THAT YOUR PRESENCE WILL BE MISSED

WHEN YOUR NAME FALLS FROM THE LIST

I DIDN’T MEAN TO DISAPPOINT YOU

I DIDN’T MEAN TO LET IT RIDE

YOU SHOULD NEVER LET THEM HOLD YOU

TO WHAT YOU WHISPER IN THE NIGHT

AND THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT REPLIES

TO YOUR HEARTBEAT CALM INSIDE

TO YOUR BODY FLOATING

MY MIND’S STILL HOLDING

ENDLESS NIGHTS AND PASSING TIME

DO YOU RECALL THE NAMES OF ALL

THE LOVERS YOU’VE LED BEFORE YOUR BED

AND HOW THE TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS

FORGIVE YOU THOUGHT THEY MIGHT

LEAD YOU UP,

ABOVE THE COVERS..

FROM THE OVER CRASHING THUNDER

AND I STILL PREDICT

THAT YOUR PRESENCE WILL BE MISSED

ON SUMMER DAYS LIKE THIS

WHEN ALL I HAVE IS SOME GOODBYE

AND A PICTURE OF THE TIME

YOU SANG SO LOUD

YOU CRIED SO PROUD

AND I’M WIRED TO THE NIGHT

AND IT’S LIMITLESS DESPAIR

FINDING HIDING PLACES

FIGHTING EVERY SIGN OF CARE

MY BEATING HEART DIVIDES

FROM THE SLIDING MINDS OUTSIDE

SAVE ME BITTER

SAVE ME BLISS

LET CASTLE WALLS COLLIDE

I’M WIRED TO YOUR WORLD,

AND I AM SO AFRAID

I AM MOVING FASTER INTO

OUTER SPACE

LET’S START IT UP ALL OVER

LIVE YOUR LIFE SLOW WITH ME

I’M STANDING SOLID ON YOUR LINE

WON’T YOU ANSWER ME

 COME TO THAT

IT’S COME TO THAT…

FORGIVE THE PAST

A GRACE THAT FELL TO INFIDELS

A SIGN OF CLOSE AT LAST

WITH MUMBLED WORDS

I CRASH THE CURSE

AND I DIVE INTO

A BLIND RECLUSE

I BREAK YOUR SEA OF GLASS

ON SHEETS OF WHITE

OUR LIMBS APART

THIS MURDER BORN INSIDE YOUR EYES

I’M GUNNED DOWN IN CLEAR SIGHT

I’M WINDING DOWN

TO GIVING ALL

WITH THIS OPEN ENDED QUESTION

WITH NO SIGN OF REPENTANCE

AND NOW I’M DRIVING TO YOUR HOME

TO WATCH THE SHADOWS MOVE BEHIND THE SHADES

OF THE MOON, THEY’RE GLOWING STRONG

LIKE LAMP SHADES PAST YOUR WINDOWPANE

SO TAKE YOUR TIME

I’VE GOT ALL NIGHT

TO THINK ABOUT THE WAY THIS MUST BE FATE

I’M HANGING ON THE WALL AGAIN

I’M DREAMING OF THE TIME

AND HOW IT COULD BE BETTER NOW

IF I COULD GET A SIGN

THE T.V. IS SITTING QUIETLY

BY THE CANDLE BURNING BRIGHT

AS I SLIP INTO THE ENDLESS SLEEP

OF A HELPLESS SUMMER NIGHT

I’M HANGING ON THE WALL AGAIN

I’M DREAMING OF THE TIME

AND HOW IT COULD BE BETTER NOW

IF I COULD ONLY CRY

THE T.V IS SITTING QUIETLY

BY THE CANDLE GLOWING BRIGHT

AS I SLIP INTO THE ECSTASY OF A HELPLESS

SUMMER NIGHT

COLORS BURNING EDGE

I HAD A VISION

SIMPLE WINTER PALE

THE COLORS BURN THE EDGE

MY HANDS PULLED THE VEIL

AND I FIXED YOU EYES

SO THAT THEY’D SHINE

AND YEAH I FEEL LIKE I’M BURNING UP

INSIDE MY HEAD

TO MY SOUL

I DON’T FEEL ALRIGHT

NOT EVEN YOUR SMILE COULD FIND

THE SUNLIGHT IN MY MIND

I FIXED YOU IN A GOLD

SEWING STAGE

WHERE YOU DANCED WITH ME

DAY AFTER DAY

AND THE SEQUINS

FELL FROM HEAVEN

JUST LIKE RAIN

AND YOU TOLD ME

YOU WERE QUITE AFRAID

BUT DON’T LET IT BOTHER YOU

DON’T LOOK SO SURPRISED

DON’T LET IT BOTHER YOU

DON’T OPEN YOU EYES

HAD IT

YOU HAD IT, BUT YOU THREW IT AWAY

YOU HURRIED FOR THE NEXT PLAY

SO YOU’RE SITTING BY THE LONELY SIDE

TOO FAR FOR THE SATELLITES TO FIND

YOU HAD IT BUT YOU THREW IT AWAY

NOW SOMEONE’S GONNA HAVE TO PAY

IT’S THE ONLY THING THAT YOU COULD GIVE

IT’S YOUR TURN TO LIVE

YOU’VE GOT A TICKET, BUT THERE’S NOTHING TO CLAIM

YOU’RE PICASSO, BUT YOU DON’T HAVE A FRAME

YOU’VE GIVEN YOUR DECISION

I’M SORRY, BUT THERE’S NO REVISION

AND IT SEEMS LIKE A SORRY SURPRISE

A LIFE FROM A DREAM THAT DERIVED

ALL THE LETTERS RECALL THE REASON

HOW IT STUMBLED FROM ODD TO EVEN

AND YOU WONDER WHY IT IS

THE SKY CAN CRY

DESPITE THE HOPE YOU STILL IMPLY

BUT IT’S ALRIGHT

IT’S GETTING CLOSER TO THE STARS

ABOVE THE WORLD INSIDE

PULL ME FROM THE PAST

I’M GOING MAD

SHOW ME YOU CAN SMILE

GIVE ME SUNSHINE FOR A WHILE

I THINK ABOUT WHAT I WANTED TO SAY

HOW THE WRINKLES THEY GROW EVERYDAY

THIS ISN’T HOW IT USED TO BE

I’M NOT THE PERSON THAT YOU SEE

I COULDN’T BE THE PET BY YOUR SIDE

A LOVER OR A FRIEND TO CONFIDE

I WONDER WHY I SHOULD KEEP

I THINK IT’S TIME TO GO TO SLEEP

PULL ME FROM THE PAST

I’M GOING MAD

SHOW ME YOU CAN SMILE

GIVE ME SUNSHINE FOR A WHILE

PULL ME FROM THE PAST

I’M GOING MAD

SHOW ME YOU CAN SMILE

GIVE ME SUNSHINE FOR A WHILE

YOU HAD IT, BUT YOU THREW IT AWAY

YOU HURRIED FOR THE NEXT PLAY

SO YOU’RE SITTING BY THE LONELY SIDE

TOO FAR FOR THE SATELLITES TO FIND

ORANGE SILHOUETTE

IT HELPS ME LIFT

THE THOUGHTS THAT RUN ADRIFT

FROM BEHIND THE LINES

OF THE BRUISING RHYME

PUSHING NERVES

INCRIMINATING WORDS

MY MIND DISSECTS THE BODY IT SERVES

MY HANDS, QUICK SHAKING

MY SKIN KEEPS BREAKING

A SWEAT TO THREAT THIS MALICIOUS NEGLECT

ENTRANCE THIS STANCE

THIS FEVER ENHANCED

THE ANGER SPREADS

THE WORDS TURN TO RANTS

THE IMAGE OF YOU WON’T LET ME SLEEP

IT REPEATS A DREAM THAT CAN’T LET ME BE

THE SUN IN YOUR SKY

THE PRIDE DEEP INSIDE

THE BEAT IN YOUR HEART

THE LIGHT HYPNOTIZED

AND I’M TRYING TO LEAVE THIS BEHIND

WHO CALLED OUT YOUR NAME

           I THINK I’M HEARING THINGS AGAIN

WHO SAID THINGS WOULD STILL BE THE SAME

           I NEVER THOUGHT THAT THINGS COULD CHANGE

WHO STEPPED THROUGH MY DOOR

           I THOUGHT I TORE THIS LOVER FROM MY HEART

OF WOODEN BEADS

AND PASTEL LEAVES

ORANGE SILHOUETTES FROM AND AUTUMN EVE

PROPHECIES GLIDE TO THE DREAMS DESCRIBED

NAILS ACROSS MY BACK

THE MOTION TOTALLY INTACT

THE PICTURE’S SPINNING

MY LIFELINE’S THINNING

MY FIST TO THE WALL

THE SUNSHINE BLINDING

FINDING PEACE

IN DAMAGE AND DISEASE

THE EVIDENCE FALLS

CAUSE HISTORY REPEATS

MY THOUGHTS TURN BLACK

BACK TO THE EXACT

BIRTH OF MY VISION

TO THE FIRST INCISION

SUBMIT

REMIT

ALL THE TICKETS TO THE TRIP

SUBLIME THE CLIMB

THE STATIC TO THE SHRINE

AND I’M TRYING TO LEAVE THIS BEHIND

WHO CALLED OUT YOUR NAME

           I THINK I’M HEARING THINGS AGAIN

WHO SAID THINGS WOULD STILL BE THE SAME

           I NEVER THOUGHT THAT THINGS WOULD CHANGE

WHO STEPPED THROUGH MY DOOR

           I THOUGHT I TORE THIS LOVER FROM MY HEART

PASTEL SKY

THE DAYS A LITTLE LONGER

MY SKIN IS LINED AND PALE

I DAZE INTO FOREVER

TO KEEP THIS SCENE ALIVE

WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES TO DREAM

I’M CROWDED BY THE WORDS THAT KEEP

ME BUILDING SOME ANXIETY

ME WISHING YOU WOULD WAIT BY ME

THE STAIRS REMEMBER EVERY STEP

THE MIRROR WAITING TO REFLECT

THE SHADOWS MOVING MORNING LIGHT

WITH DRIFTING DUST

TO PASTEL SKIES

THE PICTURES COULDN’T MATCH

ALL THE THINGS I USED TO HAVE

THE TREASURES SHINING FROM YOUR EYES

THE STORIES FALLING FROM YOUR SMILE

THE COUCH A LITTLE BIGGER

THE ROOM A MILE WIDE

AND THE SILENCE PLENTY PAINFUL

MY TOUNGE HAS GROWN SO SHY

AND I DAZE INTO FOREVER

JUST TO KEEP THIS SCENE ALIVE

HEAVEN IN YOUR HEART

I DROVE ALONG THE STREETS WHERE WE USED TO BE…

CARELESS AS THE BREEZE BETWEEN THE AUTUMN LEAVES.

SHROUDED BY A LIGHT THAT POURED DOWN FROM THE SKY…

IN MY MIND THE THOUGHT OF US GREW SO ALIVE.

WAS IT YOU WHO BROKE IN TWO, WHO CHOSE TO LOSE?

WAS THAT FATE RECLAIMING YOUTH RENAMING TRUTH?

DID I TRY AS HARD AS HEAVEN IN YOUR HEART?

THIS ALWAYS HAD AN END A MIDDLE A START.

I DROVE ALONG THE STREETS WHERE WE USED TO BE…

CARELESS AS THE BREEZE BETWEEN THE AUTUMN LEAVES.

SHROUDED BY A LIGHT THAT POURED DOWN FROM THE SKY…

IN MY MIND THE THOUGHT OF US GREW SO ALIVE.

HYPERTENSION

HOW DOES THIS FEEL?

 

HOW DOES IT SEEM?

 

THROUGH THE DARK…

 

THROUGH THE TREES..

 

TO YOUR DOOR.

 

INTO YOUR HOME.

 

SET MY MIND AT EASY.

 

LET MY THOUGHTS RUN FREE.

 

AND IT FEELS LIKE I’M FLYING…

 

ABOVE A SUNNY HAZE.

 

SWIMMING IN AN ATMOSPHERE…

 

I THOUGHT I’D ONLY DREAM.

 

HOW COULD IT BE SO?

 

IT’S WHAT YOU DIDN’T KNOW.

 

SOME SORT OF STORM,

 

SOME SORT OF WIND.

 

PULLS ME ASUNDER,

 

THAT’S HOW IT ALL BEGINS.

 

CRYING FOR MY BROTHERS…

 

IS THERE SOMETHING YOU CAN GIVE?

 

TRYING TO RECOVER,

 

WHAT’S NEVER MINE TO GIVE.

 

TURNING FROM THE WORLD YOU SPEAK

 

FROM MOVIES AND MAGAZINES.

 

SPLIT IN DIRECTIONS,

 

ALL THIS WIRED HYPER TENSION…

 

HOW COULD IT BE SO?

 

IT’S WHAT YOU DIDN’T…

 

WHAT YOU DIDN’T KNOW.

SLEEP…

SLEEP…

THE RIBBONS ON THE ROOFTOP SWAY.

SLEEP…

THE RIBBONS ON THE ROOFTOP SWAY.

SLEEP…

SLEEP…

SLEEP…

 SLIP INTO SURREAL

I’D OPEN UP THIS BOX OF DREAMING SEEDS

I USED TO HIDE INSIDE YOUR EYES

UNDERNEATH THIS CEDAR TREE.

WHERE PLAIN REFLECTING COLORS

DANCE WITH SAND AND STEEL, CAN BE SO REAL

WHEN LOVERS SLOWLY SLIP INTO SURREAL

I’VE CHANGED BELIEF WITHOUT RELIEF

AS MIRRORS SEEM TO BRIBE AND BLEED

A THOUSAND ANCIENT GLANCES OF DECEIT

WHO WEARS THE CLOAK OF FOUNTAIN HOPE

OF STRANDS AND SEEDS THAT GROW SO OLD

IN NAMES THAT LIVE WHERE WE HAVE ONLY ROAMED

ANGEL… DON’T YOU SEE THE SUN?

GLEAMING… ALL THAT WE’VE BECOME

I SEE THIS LINE FROM FRONT TO END

IT’S VOODOO SPEAKS ONCE AND AGAIN

TO BROKEN BONES THAT NEVER SEEM TO MEND

AND BROTHERS CHANGE TO THOUGHTS DERANGED

ESTRANGED BY FEELINGS LONG PROCLAIMED

BY TINY DANCING WISHES DROWNED IN FAITH

OH LOVER LET YOUR BODY SHINE

BEHIND THIS CURTAIN COLORED WINE

LEAD ME TO YOUR OPEN EMPTY SEA

REPENT AND SEND A LETTER

TO A BLUE JEAN CLONED MAD HATTER

WHO WILL RISE ABOVE YOUR SWITCHBLADE TEENAGE DEEDS

ANGEL… DON’T YOU SEE THE SUN?

GLEAMING… ALL THAT WE’VE BECOME

TESTIFY… FROM THIS SPINNING WHEEL

SACRIFICE… THE SMILE YOU CONCEAL

UNDERWATER EQUINOX

I CAN’T HEAR

I CAN’T SEE

EVERYTHING IS MOVING COLD AROUND ME…

EVERYTHING IS CLEAR.

I CAN’T BREATHE

I CAN’T THINK

GOOD INTENTIONS LOST,

MOST OF ALL I’M TOSSED AND TURNED…

BESIDE ME.

BUT I FEEL

AND I KNOW

YOU’RE MOVING UNDERNEATH

AND IN THE AIR

AND EVERYTHING SURROUNDS ME.

EVERYTHING IS MOVING COLD AROUND ME…

EVERYTHING IS CLEAR.

LYRICS BY: HOLLY NELSON

SPIRIT

FOREIGN TONGUES AND SILVER CHAINS,

YOU CONFESS YOU’RE NOT AFRAID.

RECEIVING STATIC BLISS OR HOPE,

THIS VOODOO DOLL HANGS FROM YOUR ROPE.

COMING CLOSER TO ARISE,

STANDING FAST FROM YOUR SURPRISE.

TWISTING SIDEWAYS, MOTION WEAVES…

I’M SPINNING FASTER TOWARDS RELIEF.

HOLD YOUR HEAD UP CHILD…

FREE FROM DADDYS DREAM.

GIVE ME EVERY INNOCENT..

PRECIOUS MEMORY.

DO YOU FEEL ALIVE, DO YOU FEEL AFRIAD?

DO ROSES BREAK CONCRETE MISTAKES?

UNDERNEATH THOSE BRITTLE LEAVES…

THIS SANDMAN WAITS FOR HIS RELEASE.

BLENDING PRISM, COLORED RAYS…

BEGGING SISTER, SILENT REFRAIN.

SCENES FROM DREAMS INTO CASCADE,

ASCEND FROM GLORY YEARS TOO LATE.

HOLD YOUR HEAD UP CHILD…

FREE FROM DADDYS DREAM.

GIVE ME EVERY INNOCENT..

PRECIOUS MEMORY.

HOLD YOUR HEAD UP CHILD…

FREE FROM DADDYS DREAM.

GIVE ME EVERY INNOCENT..

PRECIOUS MEMORY.

RESIST AND RESOLUTION

ALL MY LIFE

THE MOON SEEMED SO VERY DARK

I CANNOT SLEEP

THESE DREAMS DO NOT GIVE ME ENOUGH

IT’S THE DARK CRESCENT MOON

IT’S THE DARKNESS IN YOUR EYES.

 PAINTED ANGELS

WHATEVER YOU’VE TOUCHED SO LIGHTLY

WHATEVER LITTLE SMILE YOU’VE SHOWN

THE THINGS THAT TURN INSIDE YOUR HEAD

THE APOLOGIES LEFT UNSAID

IS CRASHING THROUGH THIS TANGLED TELEPHONE

I’M CRASHING ON THIS DEATHBED TELEPHONE

AND EVEN THE JURY’S WASTED

EVEN THE POPE’S IN JEANS

BUT YOU CARRY EVERY WORD

THAT I’VE MUMBLED UNDERNEATH MY BREATH

YOU VANISH EVEN THOUGH YOUR FINGERPRINTS STILL

STAIN MY LIPS

I’M WRITING YOU THIS LETTER TO LET YOU KNOW,

THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF AGING SCHEMES THAT STILL APPEAR

ON THIS DESERT DREAM THAT I CALL FADING HOPE

ON THIS ENDLESS STRING OF SILK AND BROKEN PEARLS

WHATEVER YOU WHISPER OVER

WHATEVER YOU SCREAM SO HIGH…

THE THINGS THAT TURN INSIDE YOUR HEAD

THIS DAGGER IN MY BED

IS STEALING ALL MY VELVET LULLABIES

IS STEALING EVERY PROMISE FROM MY EYES

DO YOU STILL SEE PAINTED ANGELS

UNDERCOVER IN A LOVER’S SKY?

AS THE BLEMISH ON YOUR FREEDOM SLOWLY SIFTS

SLOWLY SIFTS THROUGH THE WORDS YOU SPEAK

AS YOUR CLOSELY COVERED CROWN

CRUMBLES ASHES UNDERNEATH MY FEET

I’M WRITING YOU THIS LETTER TO LET YOU KNOW

THAT THE STARS AT NIGHT ARE TRYING TO FIND A HOME

AND IF YOU DECIDE TO SPEAK IN RHYTHM

 YOU RISE

I SAT DOWN AT YOUR THRONE

I PINNED MY HANDS DOWN TO MY KNEES

I WROTE THE SCORE AGAINST THE SEA

I WAITED PATIENTLY

WELL FOR SACRIFICE… FOR MIRRORS

FOR THE QUEEN YOU CAN’T DELIVER

FOR IMAGINARY CRIES YOU DRIVE

FROM THIS GHOST TOWN IN HIGH JULY, YOU RISE…

YOU CLAIM THE WINNING PRIZE, YOU RISE.

AND YOU PICTURE US IN MAGAZINES

WHERE THE ANGELS DRIFT WITH MESCALINE

AND YOU’RE NOT SURE…

YOU’LL CROSS THE DOOR

UNLESS YOUR WINGS ARE PURE.

YOU SEEM TO CRAVE A LITTLE MORE…

YEAH YOU BREAK A LITTLE

WOULD YOU FLY LIKE AN ANGEL AND DISCOVER DREAMS?

WOULD YOU RUN TO SISTERS ON HANDS AND KNEES?

HELPLESS AS A CHILD

PRECIOUS AS THE MORNING SKY

FOREVER NEW TO SHIELD THE SCARS THAT BLEED

IT’S GETTING HARDER TO BELIEVE

AND THE TELEPHONE WON’T STOP RINGING

YOU FEAR THE NEWS IT’S BRINGING

THE FEELING SLIPS FROM UNDERNEATH

YOU’RE FILLED WITH RAGE AND JEALOUSY

YOU’RE A VICTIM HOLDING PROMISE

A TEENAGE VISION FALLEN

YOU’RE SURE THE CROSS IS FOR BELIEF

IT SEEMS YOU NEED TO BE REDEEMED.
