If I could change
the shadows, the plains
Upend this broken world.
Free of thoughts of past pain
where the simplest stay
we could travel from this world
And I would quell your endless doubt
to be the lover you call
with my back against the world
and my ear against your wall.
If I put out his flame
and the tinders remain
Would darkness be your world?
Burnt scratches of pain
(etched) to the night and the days.
Would you travel from this world?
So I could quell your endless doubt
And be the lover you call
With my back against the world
And my ear against your wall.
But I lost ground tonight
when I took the light from his life.
(traveled away from life)
Now I'm filled with endless doubt
I'm not the lover you call.
I'm burdened by the world.
And my back's against the wall.

Gloss over the play
touchdown again
scratch on the break
I'm lost again
What was your name?
Is the tide coming in?
the light that remains
circles round again
Another night just passes by
driving south to see
the northern lights.
But I'll refrain
from the thoughts coming in
the light that remains
as the tide's growing dim
A cavalcade by the shores tonight;
to watch the tide eclipse the shore
and I'll refrain
from the thoughts coming
and even life could pass me by.
the evening lights pass me by

I've been sleeping on flesh torn apart
Separate from bone
and Pierce the heart
Down the Street
is a lion's den
a celibate dream
I don't understand
I just spoke in lies today
when told you of the world
and how it's changed
Now the words just fall apart
if I could sharpen the verbs
I could pierce your heart
Virtue is the dying brand
Now we celebrate the fools
I don't understand
After thinking I should fall apart
and profit off the pain of an unbeating heart
What about this brackish disdain
and the tides that rise
to relegate flames
How long will these liars pray?
How long will this fire wait?

Lost in the night
Lost in the night
Don't even notice that the world is spinning by
I was stoned in the night
saw all the feelings I should hide
and out tonight
All tonight
I was alone
Pass the night outside your home
pass the light outside your home
I was feeling so alone
Pass the night inside in your home
All the time I spent alone
pass the night outside your home
I was feeling so alone
Pass the night inside your home
but not tonight

On the Radar

On the Radar
are the thoughts I've left behind
Can I cleanse them?
Or will they return?
One familiar, everlasting
What if I showered in Antiseptic?
On the Radar
is a rancor
and a recourse
from the thoughts
I've left behind
And they feel nice
and I look nice
and I smell nice
Would you have another choice?
On the Radar
Would your love be everlasting?
If I was privy to the clock tick.
Or I feigned something tragic.
What if I dressed in pure elastic?
For the love that it lost
And the time that it cost
I feel fine
When i look nice
and I smell nice
and it feels
Would you have another choice?
On the Radar

Abalone
I'm a loner
I prefer the winter nights
Deserted streets
Unbroken silence
Made a queen out of ice
I want the leaves
I want them dying
Need the snow to build a throne
So I can rule with a frozen hand
Drink the blood from a frozen skull
In the depths of my winter
I wear a crown that blooms at night
From my lawn chair lies my kingdom
I made a call for springs last rites
Crescent fields into summer
burn the skin, the sun i hide.
magnify all the places that we love
So I can burn them down
I want the leaves
I want them dying
Now I'm basking in this goddamn kitchen light
yellow as anger grows
In the depths of my winter
I wear a crown that blooms at night
From my lawnchair lies my kingdom
Made a call for springs last rites
What about curling don't you understand?

What Cheer?
10:59

To be stuck
within the fold
between the faults
that I know
I tried to erase
where I had no control
And My thoughts didn't grow
I know I know
So i'll replace myself
with something that I can't control
Do I shrink?
Or fall?
Do I grow?
So I read verbatim what to do
forgetting all that I know
So I cast myself to a stone
forgetting all that I know
And I didn't skip, nor sink, nor fall
No I sang for you all
I was a stone in the fold
a rock in Rhode Island
a piece of Rhode island
A particle in Rhode Island
Even though I was a stone
My brain was starved
Look at me go
My brain was starved
and I can't diet
Just a rock in rhode island
The sheep will flock to Rhode Island
O' baby my brain was starved
in rhode island
just a piece of rhode island
and I can't diet
but I'm a stone
look at me go
I know
I know
O' baby,
my brain is starved
my thoughts don't grow
and I can't diet
