Crickets

I woke up in the middle of the fog
in the middle of you still believing in me
and I saw the sun like it was happening for the first time...
maybe it was cause nothing sounded the same.
Nothing sounded the same.
I'm alive.
I'm alive.
I'm alive.
I watched some TV on a dangling lunchbox
for two or three-hundred hours or so
I moved all my toes and I smelled all the flowers.
I listened to morphine falling into my veins.
Everything was insane.
I'm alive
I'm alive.
I'm alive.
Then I turned it on and I saw a beautiful lady
blinding me with her teeth through the wiggling frames...
and my smile got dizzy as she promised no rain.
She looked happy, but a little bit worried.
She told me she'd give me some of her hair.
So I ran my fingers over my naked noggin
Then paused for a moment...
Then I decided
who cares?
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
with crickets on the hearth.

Ceiling
04:13
|

I was catching some flies
hittin a high
taking in stride all of the times
someone said, "try, try...
try try try...a little bit harder"
not today.
the ceiling is low
and I'm feeling tall.
and I'm on a roll
So let's play ball
Try, try, try
Try, try, try
to bring me back.
I dare ya, dear.
It's not like you would really understand the way I feel right now.
Brace yourself.
Pile it on.
There's no room.
There's no consequence.
I was catchin some flies
hittin a high
taking in stride
all of the times
someone said, "try, try...
try try try...a little bit harder"
not today.
the ceiling is low
and I'm feeling tall.
and I'm on a roll
So let's play ball
Try, try, try
Try, try, try
to bring me back.
I dare ya, dear.
It's not like you would really understand the way I feel right now.
When you look up it will look like the ocean floor
exploding in commotion; trapped from reaching shore.
When it starts raining shards, you'll try to hold my hand...
We'll flail like flowers sinking in a quick sand.
We came from nothing and we're gonna come from more
We came from nothing and we're gonna come from more.
We came from nothing and we're gonna come from more
gonna come from more.

Feel a little bit bigger
Hands asleep at the trigger
Little frictional village
Vaccinated with privilege
Collapsing column by column
They say it's not my problem
Sit and stare like our statue
Through explosions and tattoos
What ever became of those precious Gems
An instant and lousy inheritance
They say
'I broke it as soon as I got it'
Yeah
But I don't even feel
That bad about it
(You know who you're talking to?)
See a little bit clearer
Walk away from the mirrors
Make a conscience decision
Turn off your television
And walk till you find your way again
Till you know there's no way you'll end
Up like the ones
Who turned their backs on the sun and left us with none
Who broke it as soon as they got it?
But they don't even feel
That bad about it

From an Eruption
03:28
|
|||
Pitted against
In a different sense of the word
Have you heard?
There's a difference
We can't take
Our worlds shake
In our ignorance of our absence
Seconds from an eruption
Minutes from a mistake
Miles away from an answer
Every move that we make
Spun in a web
Of some different threads of our own
We disown the truth in our heads
It's nevertheless clever
Where we find ourselves instead
Seconds from an eruption
Minutes from a mistake
Miles away from an answer
Every move that we make

Medication

I'm searching for something specific
I'm searching for somethin I like
I'm searching for somethin specific
I'm searching for something just right
I take these
They got none of em
These
They got one of em
These got a ton of em:
The side effects
Medication
Has got me feelin down
Makes me feel like
I'm already in the ground
I'm searching for something specific
I'm searching for somethin just right
I'm searching for somethin specific
I'm searching for something I like
I take these
They got none of em
These
They got one of em
These got a ton of em:
The side effects
Medication
Has got me feelin down
Makes me feel like
I'm already in the ground
Isn't it outrageous?
How we fall
Conditions are contagious
To us all
Isn't it outrageous?
All it costs
Conditions are contagious
As is loss

Comin yer Way
04:27
|

And the wine glass goes gold
One would wonder, 'how old'?
Keep your eyes to yourself
Consequence never tells
I was a dreamer
So foolishly asleep
Quite optimistic
The world was at my feet
It was taken in a day
There's no way to ever truly tell what's comin your way
They say
And nostalgia's a plague
For the brunt of our age
And the waves can't be quelled
Keep your hands to yourself
You had everybody
Strung out in the dark
Clung to what they needed
The perfect patriarch
It was taken in a day
There's no way to ever know what's comin your way
They say
'But keep his character in mind
Don't you think he'd never ever act that kind of way?
Spare me evidence...I swear!
Glaring details put our generation on display!'
But you do your best
to keep his confession
Close to the vest
Cause nothing can stand in his way!
Do your best
to keep his confession
Close to the vest
Cause nothing will stand in his way!
Yes, nothing will stand in their way...

The Duchess Act
05:40
|

Tell me
Tell me was it worth it?
Help me
Understand the purpose.
You're still
Sleepin like a baby
And I
Feel I may be
Caught between
A thought
And a reaction
Heading towards
The edge:
The Duchess act
Tell you
My one darkest secret
We'll see
if you can even keep it
Soon I'll
Be blowing little
Bubbles in the
Tub tonight
Just underneath
the point
of restoration
Folding in the hold
of this sensation
Still caught between
A thought
And a reaction
Heading towards
The edge
The Duchess act
Just steer clear of the collision
Don't succumb to this decision
Wait--don't slip beneath the surface
Traverse this...
It's not over yet
It's never over yet
Don't you know
You are never gone?
Believe
Believe it isn't worth it
So we
identify a purpose
Just steer clear of the collision
Don't succumb to this decision
Wait--don't slip beneath the surface
Reverse this
It's not over
Not ever
Don't you know
We are never gone?

Sunshine,
Help me go blind
Just keep me from seeing
What’s become of human beings
Your shoes are too big for my feet
But I’ll keep standing in them until I see
If I can get a better clue as to how you could do
Such a thing to me
This may take a long time
It’s not easy being green
Always lost in ‘in betweens’
Never satisfied
Telling yourself lies
To justify the need to see the other side
Because your “what if” phobia will haunt you till you die
Now kindly
Just give me
A moment to rest
Lift the weights from this chest
And I guess still try
To figure why
What sudden surge could strike you so spry
To turn a fool’s blind eye
And inflict the kind of pain a child feels
When he finds out that the big man isn’t real;
You never felt so dumb believing
Or worse, for you own misconceiving
This may take a long time
Oh it’s not easy being green
Always lost in ‘in betweens’
Never satisfied
Telling yourself lies
To justify the need to see the other side
Because the “what if” phobia will haunt you till you die
Sunshine,
Help me go blind
Just keep me from seeing
What’s become of human beings.

Slack

What do you think you'd see
Without a history?
And if your slate was clear
What do you think you'd fear?
The scenery is skewed
Merely by its effect.
We plot our points of view
Find where we intersect...
Someone came and kicked out the cord before your thoughts were finished forming;
Never sure now if your night will still become a morning...
Cause you're everything
To everyone you know
You're somebody new
Everywhere you go
You'll never know
Just who you are.
Why is your mind afraid
It's unlike other minds?
You wish you were a leaf
But you've become a vine...
I'm lifting with my knees
A weight from off your back
And if you think you feel free enough
You can retrieve the slack...
Someone came and ripped out the cord before your thoughts were finished forming...
Never sure now if your night will still become a morning
Cause you're everything
To everyone you know
You're somebody new
Everywhere you go

How to Preach
02:46
|
|||
My doggy smells like a ferret
She likes to eat all my carrots
Yeah
My mama said she saw Jesus
I asked why didn't he feed us?
She didn't really think about it
And everyone believes it's within reach
They'll tell you what they don't know how to teach
And when you're down: you're just a leech
The only thing they practice is how to preach.
I took myself to the doctor
He told me I'm off my rocker
Yeah
I drink myself into stupors
Until I find the state troopers
and I don't really care about it.
If destiny's inside my hands
Why ain't it when I'm in a man's?
No one ever thinks about that
No one ever thought about it
no no no they didn't.
