Where Do I Begin?

So much for a bit of peace and quiet
Never meant to keep you up every night
I’m on a path I know I can’t define
But by the end of the flight, I find I’m searching for life
Go to sleep
Next to me
And by the end of the night, I’m gone
Make your rules
And your laws
And by the end of the night, I’m gone
So much for a bit of peace and quiet
Spread my wings until I learn how to fly
Waiting for some words to force my demise
But by the end of the fight, I find I’m searching for life

Copper
03:21

Say we just took off
Bring a camera leave the loft
Drive in silence down the road
Crack a smile then we go
Oh they pushed us, shook us
Loudly yelled, “useless, useless.”
Can we go?
But you don’t understand anymore
The copper’s in the car, it’s spilling on the freeway
How can I control myself?
I’m picking up the crumbs, they’re dancing on the window pane
A crack, I’m never coming back
Unless you’ll go back too
Say you will!
So I just took off
Now I’m gone it’s after dawn
And the sun gives off this glow
One that’s never letting go
Oh they used us, fooled us
Had no tell, “useless, useless.”
Can we go?
But you don’t understand anymore
I’m lying in the car
I’m waiting for the speedway
I cannot control myself
The copper’s in the rug, but I am chasing all these crumbs
A crack, I’m never coming back
Unless you’ll go back too
Say you will! Say you will!

Minor Freeze
05:22
|

The minor freeze, keeps me hanging to my feet
I just want to stay indoors, ‘cause I know who’ll win this war
But I took my chance, you said don’t take that chance
Now I’m cold, and all alone
Save the sun drip hanging from my nose
It’s a plight, then a fall
Passing over us all
The minor freeze is out tonight, mimicking our calls
If you say run, then I will run
The minor freeze, never wanted its disease
But when winds, they start to blow, and the tide just goes and goes
But I took my chance, thank god I took my chance
Now I know what it’s all about
Let the engine cough and twist the sound
To a plight, then a fall
Rushing through our calls
The minor freeze is out tonight, it’s gonna get us all
If you say run, then I will run
If you say run, then I will run

Last Call
03:53
|
|||
|
Focus on what I’m saying
Last call for anything, last call to make your peace
But it never, it never ends
Stuck playing your mountain games, wasted all your days
Just to say, “I’ll see you”
The moment that it all breaks
Last call to disappear, back up and hit repeat
The moment is just one moment
That’s when the noise ends, I spend all my days
Just to say, “I’ll miss you”
I take my time I take my time
So wait for me
Don’t Let Me Down

Bones
03:13
|
|||
|
Through the cobwebs, in the basement, where your feet stick, to the pavement
There’s a message, thin as paper, with a binding, made of whispers
To the faithless, and the faithful, and the ones who, make you stay home
It is golden, it is Copper, it is silver, it will rot you to your bones
But it’s your bones
I’ll never know, what you wrote
Buy the next round they are all on me
When you spread a little life you’ll come out clean
‘Cause it’s hard as it is to break bread with no rules
When we’ve all got a job to make sure that we
Cool our bones
And take it slow
Buy the next round they are all on me
When you spread a little life you’ll come out clean
‘Cause it’s hard as it is to break bread with no rules
When we all have a drive to never be the fool
I noticed, focused, on the path
To take me to this place I’m at, so let’s go…!
Hang on to your bones
‘Cause you never know

Graduation Song

It’s funny how
At every stage of life
We’re looking back at the golden years
But the future is what we fear
I guess I’m no different
But at least some times I try
To not worry about these things
But it’s not working out tonight
Where will I be?
In a year or three?
I just can’t stop thinking of a different kind of life
But that’s how it goes
Do I fit the mold?
Are we all just drifting drifting through the night,
Pacing back and forth until we’re old?
Can I start it again?
At least tell me what’s in store
It’s easy to think
About nothing at all
But what’s the point in living cheap,
When it costs you all your dreams?
Where will I be?
In a year or three?
I just can’t stop, worrying if I will get it right
But that’s how it goes
Do I fit the mold?
Are we all just wasting wasting all our nights,
Endlessly replaying all our fights?
Can I start it again?
At least tell me when it’s light

Velvet
07:00

The gig is up
And we’re rolling through end times
Let’s fuck it up
Get caught on the grapevines
I’ve felt enough
The feeling of enzymes
Oh how they shook
Oh how they shivered in moonlight
And then took flight
My final breath
A stolen assurance
Before I rest
Before it’s ruined
There’s just two chords
And infinite movements
Oh how I shook
Oh how I played through the moonlight
And then took flight

Now That It's Over
02:49
|

Now that it’s over I can see what you’ve done
I took a little thing and made it something more
I hear the whispering, goes up and up and up
Up ‘till it reaches me
My core is frozen
Back bent wrong
Spine in pieces
From the mob
Now that it’s over I’ll have a little fun
I’ll race the avalanche until my work is done
I hear you call to me it goes up and up and up
Up ‘till it passes me
I feel a shiver
Hair gone grey
I’m all alone but
I want to staaaaaaaaaay
Now that it’s over I can see what you’ve done
I had a little thing but now that’s done

Don't Let Me Down
05:35
|

|
In silent halls, I’m waiting for the call
It takes me through all, the endless ways to stall
And through the storm, every print and form
Still no one overboard, from the endless choices
When darkness calls, all of the heroes will fall
And the rest will have to stall, so we say:
“Don’t Let Me Down”
When we move, we all make sure to choose
Every kick and bruise, oh how it fits the blues!
Maybe I, I’m of a weaker kind
That I can go in blind, and still look for you:
“Don’t Let Me Down”
In silent halls, I’m waiting for the call
It takes me through all, the endless choices
When seasons change, every branch is rearranged
But you still look the same, out the door
When darkness calls, all of the heroes will fall
And the rest are left to stall, so we say:
“Don’t Let Me Down”
