Lesser Ones
03:16
|
|||
look ahead and see the place to meet me
is only about halfway
but fissures running up your face defeat me
and echo the words i say
it's a stone I would throw after-
but you're much too far away
and i'd be sure to miss
you'll remember i said this, one day
consider the lesser ones
your daughters and yes, your sons
let it come, and with it bring
feeling anew
(but) it don't mean a thing
(to you)
you give only broken hints for weeks now
so tell me how did you fare?
i don't think we've spoken since you found out
and maybe i shouldn't care
so in self pity drown when you're down under water
wishing you were there
how long will you last
without ever coming up for air?
another day goes by and still i wait for you
still, i cannot deny the things i know are true
we'll wait it out and see, a minute more
a minute more
consider the lesser ones
your daughters and yes, your sons
if you ever want them back
then maybe try meeting them where they're at

it dawned on me that you are not able
to get up off the floor
if up to me i would have brought this up before
but only after can i see clearly
that things have gone amiss
if i had returned it would not have ended up like this
up in the air, falling down empty handed
while unaware of the ground where you landed
"don't follow me and you'll be doing fine,"
just dont give me that line.
in this broken mirror you're sullen
and i you would deject,
but thoughts turn to glass,
and on these things i reflect.
vivid, bright-the colors that follow,
and fill this empty room
your pekid skin,
just a sign of your impending doom.
saw you running after,
what better way to tell you than this?

hey, so how does it go?
your face doesn't show
me whether or not you know.
stop and back up again
this mess that youre in...
is it over?
i heard all about everything
i felt in the way.
i heard all about everything
will you be ok?
so, you're spinning your wheels,
go dig in your heels,
don't mind the burning rubber.
no use losing your tread
while losing your head,
shift to neutral.
sooner or later you'll be fine
as long as you stop now to question why
now what to do only you decide
will you try?
now that you're here
is the coast clear?

Sun Regrets Shining
04:17
|

so different when
across the lake
blue green eyed hour
caught us in the wake
i hope she feels the
way that i do
i rippled when
to me she spoke
and rode the wave
even as it broke
i'm riding still
i hope forever
the sun will regret shining
i won't forget
but will you?
do you believe in us still
can we see this thing through?
arrest my fears
and be content
its taken years
but its time well spent
and it means more than you imagine
long way to go
before we're done
and you should know
more than anyone
that i am always thinking of you
and there's time for answers
right or wrong
thanks for standing by me
for so long

Crowded Airwaves
02:52
|
|||
i've been feeling beat and brokenhearted
don't want to complete the things i've started
the noise, the fuzz, the radiating buzz
(the way everything does)
it's so loud
surprised, ashamed, the object of the game
is sounding all the same
it surrounds
sky deliver me before i'm bled
from the crowded airwaves overhead
conquered and undone
so worn and faded
when everything's become
so complicated
a lot to say, but always on the fray
and never in the way you wanted
and so, for me a decent melody
is what i want to leave undaunted
an old song, an old line
it's ok it's all fine
convince me what is good
what i like what i should do

Resolute
02:56
|
|||
reaping the seeds i planted
things that i always took for granted
i feel a little bit unstable
tell me if i'm willing are you able
to come and help me out right now?
if you do, i'm resolute
i wont back down
broken and i'm still breaking
change is my latest undertaking
im only hoping that tomorrow
has a greater hope for me to borrow
im separated from the rest
i will try, but i can only do my best
today i saw myself with honest eyes
and my face i barely recognized.
if the wounded never heal
what will i do?
how will i feel?
can i assume,
at least pretend,
that things will work out in the end?
sunken and I'm still sinking
and you're the only thing I'm thinking of
ties that I could hardly sever
when I'm needing you now more than ever

Merge

everyone
is pushing into me
and now the sun
is shining into morning
i try
and remember your name
i try,
but it's never the same
build it out a mile wide
high enough that you can hide
make it out of what might have been
you say youll come out, but when?
down below, reddening the surface
you're bleeding so, what ever made you nervous?
blush, a dead giveaway
hush, theres nothing to say
you spend the night
alone in reflection
haunted by the question.
but is it right just waiting for an answer?
well, no one ever answers

Only Knows God

soon i'll have the nerve
and give what you deserve
maybe i'll be nice
by grading on a curve
belated and complicated
and i know you won't feel the same
too bad it had to come back this way
she only knows god
and has no other friends
do you think it odd?
i guess it all depends
until we meet again...

Girl In Rearview
03:31
|
|||
mixed up month
and too soon to be over me and you
with your sudden stop today
driving the last of us away
and the girl in rearview tries
i can only see her eyes
she's bracing for the crash
and i wonder who's at fault
as i'm screeching to a halt
but too late
words much too curt
do they smart?
does it hurt?
the pavement sweats beneath
slighting my efforts to relieve you
of the years it takes
but i only locked the brakes
and the girl in rearview tries
i can only see her eyes
she's bracing for the crash
and i wonder who's at fault
as i'm screeching to a halt
but too late
words much too curt
and you were inert
does it smart?
does it hurt?

Undecided
03:04
|
|||
drink down what i want to be
and ever from a glass that is half empty
down to my last dime, as such
and optimism costs too much
now seeing double it seems
under the influence of these dreams
the outcome too early to tell
but it isn't going very well
so i stagger on
but if this keeps up
it won't be long
till i'm forced to choose
how much time can i loose?
but i'm not ready
to trade in my dream
for security
so i won't be bought
not when i've got a shot
someone tell me what to do
anyone who cares, anyone will do
or i'll put everything on the shelf
and sit here and absorb myself

Blurred

a mouthful of yesterday
is all thats now left to say
and im ever anxious to spit
or choke on it either way
on one hand its off of my chest
the other will put it to rest
and so out of my misery
tell me which do you think is the best?
and right now I've got to
do something before it
gets any worse
you know we can't ignore it
I know just what you would say
it just works out good this way
so true to form you deny
the past that you're trying to hide
and cover with careful regard
the feelings your bravado belied
so shed yourself a new skin
yeah, one that's thicker again
put back on your moth-eaten mask
you know the one with the permanent grin

Wishful Thinking
04:13
|
|||
red eyed wonder why and how
i thought you would've left by now
so these thoughts can expire
so bow and reintroduce
what years labored to produce
these habits make it hard to shake you loose
because i don't know, i'm resisting
but you seem to go on existing
in the back of my head, can i do it again?
will you come back my friend?
hair brained
hover in my head
still and small the things you said
but reason speaks much louder
i think we've been here before
you know what i'm asking for
if you would but grant
my terms i can't ignore
i remember too clearly
too recent to forget
maybe i'll come around
but not yet
