Seconds Slip
03:22
|

|
The seconds move too fast
Too small too quick
Mark them with a stick
A tick and then a tock
Another moment lost
Every second is a first with you
The seconds slip away
Test the limits
Once again
Don’t let up
Until the end
Please stay with me
Don’t fall behind
Press the pause
Just don’t rewind
Wish you could relive the past
Too short too late
Attempt to tempt our fate
A tick and then a tock
This living has its costs
Of precious moments lost with you
The seconds slip away
Test the limits
Once again
Don’t let up
Until the end
Please stay with me
Don’t fall behind
I’m pressing pause
But won’t rewind
Just don’t rewind
Just don’t let this end
Please just don’t let it stop
The seconds slip away

Sleeping With The Enemy
04:17
|
|||
|
You didn’t want to runaway
But you couldn’t stand to bear witness
Of everything you thought to say
With nowhere to begin
There are mysteries still left to unfold
I want to solve them all with you
And if I thought that it would make a difference
I would have never left you
Lonely but still not alone
Hiding from the demons in me Sleeping with the enemy
Fighting with the angels in you High time for a reckoning
Sleeping with the enemy You say you’re not the remedy
High time for a reckoning When your enemy is you
There are mysteries untold to witness
And trespasses to atone
But If I thought that we would find an answer
I would have never left you
Lonely but still not alone
Hiding from the demons in me Sleeping with the enemy
Fighting with the angels in you High time for a reckoning
Sleeping with the enemy You say you’re not the remedy
High time for a reckoning When your enemy is you
When we just want love
Lonely but still not alone
Hiding from the demons in me Sleeping with the enemy
Fighting with the angels in you High time for a reckoning
Sleeping with the enemy You say you’re not the remedy
High time for a reckoning When your enemy is you
You’re still not alone

Simple Concept
02:53
|

It’s a simple concept
For you to wrap around your brainless
Since you want to jump on a wave
Like the flavor of the day
I don’t want to taste it
Conjure up something much less baseless
They separate us by degrees
So we spread this new disease
Oh It’s beautiful symphony
Oh And a life worth living in
You keep telling me that nothing good comes free
If you want to waste it
Just sit down and shut your mouth it’s painless
You can’t fix stupid with the facts
We’ll take your weight upon our backs
Oh Isn’t it perfectly fitting
Oh Yeah you’ve got to be kidding
We don’t care who you are so just shut up and play guitar
So good at playing the victim
Like you were cast for the part
If they awarded baked wisdom
You’d clinch it from the start
You’ve mastered it to an art
Oh I had a muted epiphany
Oh Yeah, I’m finally giving in
Oh It’s beautiful symphony
Oh This life we’re living in
A simple concept

Perfectly In Control
03:03
|

|
I’m perfectly in control of my life, it’s your loss.
I’m digging myself a hole, thrown in, get tossed.
Forgetting all the answers to the questions I created in me
Contradicts a paradox that irony fails to see
Follow my nose to spite my taste I see no reason to rhyme
Then comes the moment I find that I’m…
Perfectly in control of my life, it’s your loss.
I’m digging myself a hole, climb in, at your cost
From the moment I wake until the moment I lie
Beneath the mystery of truth that all good things must die
There’s no escaping that we’ll never fully shake the disease
Now get your knee off my neck so I can breathe
Perfectly in control of my life, it’s your loss.
I’m digging myself a hole, thrown in, get tossed
A broken man that’s falling apart
I’ll just pick up my scattered remains
And try to put them back together again
Though your intentions are good, my inclination’s to leave
There are no stones left unturned so save your breath, if you please
You try to add to my vice my wit has come to an end
I have no need to defend that I’m not
Perfectly in control of my life, it’s your loss.
I’m digging myself a hole, climb in, at all cost

Throwing Caution
03:52
|

|
What you waiting for
Aren’t you out of time
HEY! Grab your arm
Pull you to me, again
You waste no time to tell me
HEY! It’s your time for sure
You gotta stop gotta get out get out again
HEY! Gotta get out get out again
Throwing caution to the wind
I closed the open door
Like I commit a crime
HEY! Drag me down
Not gonna waste my time again
It takes no time to sell me on it
HEY! It’s our time for sure
You gotta stop gotta get out get out again
HEY! Gotta get out get out again
Throwing caution to the wind
I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired
But I’m not starting a fight with you
I’m just sick and tired of being sick and tired
So have it your way
HAVE IT YOUR WAY
Gotta get out get out again
Throwing caution to the wind

The Sound You Make
04:02
|
|||
|
Is this the sound you make
When you cannot find the words
Is there more that you could bare
Do we ever really learn
If I rise to love with you
Will I fall into myself
Is it more that you could give
That isn’t left upon your shelf
And what it is is beautiful
I kind of sense there’s so much more
This is the sound I make
When I cannot find the words
Is there more that I would dare
And will I ever get my turn
As I rise to love with you
I slowly fall into myself
Is there more that I could give
That isn’t left upon my shelf
It is what it is and that’s beautiful
May I suggest we make so much more
Just want to hear that sound you make
I want to hear that sound you make
Won’t you light up and delight us with you
I’m fine I’m ok
I’m fine I’m ok
I’m fine I’m ok
I’m a liar

Make Believe
02:54
|
|||
|
I hate to leave
But I have to go
We can make believe
Like we don’t know
Why
Head in the clouds
Feet on the ground
The point in standing up is
We all fall down
I hate to leave
But I have to go
I can make believe
That you told me so
What
Hole in my heart
Heart in a hole
To spite my face
I sell my soul
I hate to leave
But I have to go
We can make believe
Like we don’t know
Who is to blame
No one’s to blame

Sunsets For Sale
I could do better with the time I’m killing
I might be damned for the state I’m in
But every time I get a glimpse of heaven
I’m just reminded of the hells within
As you stoke fires
We’ll endure the scars
While you buy sunsets
We’ll retrieve the stars
I can’t take another sleepless slumber
What I would pay to wash my memories clean
A worried waste of my imagination
That’s the crux of this recurring dream
As you burn bridges
We watch from afar
While you buy sunsets
We’ll retrieve the stars
I’m just the star in my own movie
It’s a tragedy
A comedy
A reverie of catastrophe
I keep questioning my questions
A fool of suggestions and unlit projections
I’m making up the lines
Twisting the plot
Unraveling time
I’m gutted in knots
As you stoke fires
We’ll endure the scars
As you burn bridges
We watch from afar
While you buy sunsets
We’ll retrieve the stars
Retrieving Stars
As we rise retrieving stars
We realize the prize in the odds that we simply are
Under the guise of beliefs bizarre
That in our skies reside our gods
It’s no mistake
As we take
This solemn vow
With one final bow
We know our future history is now

Driftwood

Just below the surface
Half dead and beautiful
Your perils lie unseen
Bearing weight of oceans deep
Bide your time avail yourself this life
Washed upon the shore belongs the tide
Where you hide
As sand creates a fortress
Washed away then built anew
You tower free from torture
When all is one with all in you
Bide your time avail yourself this life
Washed upon the shore erodes the tide
As you hide
I am one. I am one. I am one…
Bide your time avail yourself this life
Thrust upon the shore your body lies
As you die
