Parallel

I can’t control
I can’t explain
The thoughts you burn
Into my brain
You wanted life
You loved to laugh
Now write it on
Your Epitaph
You never did
I gave my best
I tried for you
You paid me less
Than half my due
What can I say
What can you do
I’m needing more
And that’s the truth
You never did
Oh but it’s like
I can’t stop it
Can’t pretend I didn’t want it to ever end like this But you never did
You never did

Somehow

Somehow
It’s the only thing
That matters now
You’re out
When you know it’s good
Blinded every time
Who could read your mind
I tried to divine
The mystery of the night
I miss your eyes
Somehow
It’s the only thing that matters now
You’re out
When you know it’s good
Such a lonely sight
Let’s go take a drive
Down the ocean side
Swim in starry skies
All night
Somehow
It’s the only thing
That matters now
You’re out
When you know it’s good
You’re not looking back
Not pushing past
Not looking at
Just turning out
Somehow
It’s the only thing
That matters now
You’re out
When you know it’s good

I wake up and taste the sun outside
Watch the desert
Fears to hide
Or drown, or fight, or feel, or hate, or say, or do, or hear
Are we up?
Know what’s recommended
Hit the pavement
Sparks contended
But I’m not sure that I’m who I was before
Just fake it
You’ll make it
I know what to say
I trusted you
But I can’t see it written in the sky
I go out and it’s still dark outside
Hit the pavement
Fears to hide
Or cry, or fight, or feel, or see, or say, or do, or hear
Are we up?
Know what’s recommended
Think I’ll sink but I can’t prevent it
Cause I’m not sure that I’m who I was before
Just fake it
You’ll make it
I know what to say
I trusted you but I can’t see it written in the sky
Don’t fake it
You’ll make it
I know what to say
I trusted you but I’m not safe assured of what I’m looking for
Twenty and four
Twenty and four

I starved until I saw myself
Like I had never dreamed
I saw something I thought I’d never see
It put me off
It felt so wrong
Then a sudden
Tugging on the dusty strings
There a mad dog, wild
And running off his leash
He wanders off,
It all feels wrong, somehow
So out of reach
It all feels wrong somehow so far from me
It all feels wrong somehow so out of reach

Don't Mind
04:02
|

I said that I want to be near you
You don’t have to test me
I said that I want to be near you
I don’t mind
It’s like I need you now
To figure out what to do
But if you take too long
It might turn off before the lights go on
I said that I want to be near you
You don’t have to try me
I said that I don’t want to fear you
I don’t mind at all
It’s like I need you now
To figure out what to do
But if you take too long
It might turn off before the lights go on and on
It’s like I need you now
To figure out what to do
But if you take too long
It might turn off before the lights go on and on I need you now
To figure out what to do
It’s like some way some how
You figured out how to make it through to me
I need you now
I need you now

Wasted Hours
03:32
|
|||
Wasted hours never seem so long
Passion always growing now its gone
Sing it to me know that I won’t laugh
No one to look up on your behalf
You’ll find another day
Try another way
You know you can’t escape
The messes that you make
Try to calm down
Feeling all around
But when you’re up you’ll turn back to the places you have found
Faded memories always dim so slow
And then they jog you from so long ago
What you wanted then it didn’t matter
No one there to tell what would come after
Find another day
Try another way
You know you can’t escape
The messes that you make
Try to calm down
Feeling all around
But when you’re up you’ll turn back to the places you have found

Rust
03:06
|

You want me to be there
But he doesn’ know
That what makes you happy
Is starting to show
You want me to go out
But I’m getting higher
It’s a pleasure to know you
But I’m so tired
Don’t out the old the same
Into the rust he came
Until you forfeit your view of the summer sun away Until you forfeit your view of the summer sun away

Distant Images

Miss Again
Thought you were the one
Distant images they comfort me
Wondering what’s at stake in what I had
Misappropriations in my life
Never with a can or when I laugh
You keep living up on Solstheim
I will cut you out and walk away
You keep living up on Solstheim
I will take a bow and go away
Miss Again
Thought it was my time
There’s some limitations in my mind
Wonder if I’ve thrown them all away
Set the pages, scratch the numbers, crack the code When you’re happy who or what’s to say
You keep living up on Solstheim
I will cut you out and walk away
You keep living up on Solstheim
Watch the weather take you for today
Imitation life for me
Escape from reality

Wait Forever
03:16
|

I tried to make you see
Would you like to listen to me?
I cannot wait forever
It is written in the sky
You and I
Would you like to talk to with me?
Come clean of everything
I cannot wait forever
For forever only comes
But once
If we tried

Misplace a Night
04:05
|

We sweat the show
You don’t like to know
What’s softly sifting, lifting
Hours from the time
Head up in lights
Misplace a night
There’s something drifting empty
Restless on the air
When its toxic
Words are caustic
I say I won’t
But always crawl right back
When its toxic
Words are caustic
I say I don’t
But always come right back
Say its alright
By the candle light
I’m softly sinking thinking Poison to myself
We sweat the show
I’d like to know
What’s ever aching breaking Scattered cross your mind
When it’s toxic
Words are caustic
I say I won’t
But always crawl right back
When it’s toxic
Words are caustic
I say I don’t
But always come right back
When you’re toxic
Fears are caustic
I say I can’t
But always come right back
