My Friend
08:21
|

|
My friend don't got hate for anyone
But they don’t know his name
He don’t smile he don’t nod at anyone
‘Cause they don’t look his way
He just walks beside them
They don’t mind him
Being outside the lines
He doesn’t talk inside their minds
Now that he's not living
He ain’t alive
Memories are my medicine and my poison
Well I would rather be just a memory
Than another one of your slow fading dreams
A broken down cemetery
Words empty graves full the rain will come
After the farm burns to the ground
A sliver of the moon may shine through the slats
But my paws can’t pry them open
I cannot see what is eating me
So the enemy is awoken
I’ll hold your hand when you walk through my graveyard
Let me be your dead words of guidance
You fall asleep and it could last for weeks
You’re dreaming in lies
You must be joking
Or something has its teeth in your mind
This ship has sank
I can walk through walls, I can see through trees
I don’t need to breathe, but I can’t see your eyes
Let the sky turn into stone
Let the sun go down.

Give me this or I’ll take that
On your knees or lose your head
Close your eyes and next your mouth
Don’t think or you’re dead
Take this and give it to your leaders
Tell them all, “the secret's out”
Take dreams and turn them into fevers
Letting all your peoples down
Then they’ll leave me singing to the angels
Burying my face in the mud
I said leave me singing to the angels
Burying my face in the dust
All the signals are turned off
The driver is blind
He’s got snakes in his eyes
Swim down the wormhole
A kiss through the bars
Write down your love
Tension, screams
The water flows up not down here
Open up the eyes of the blue sky
Open up your eyes to the blue sky
My mind is dancing for all those living hell
Myna's dancing for all those who live in hell
Forget it, forget it, forget it
They’ll never hear you out
I said it. I meant it.
Suspending your heart, your dreams
Your attitude needs changing
They’re just waiting, yeah delaying
Hearing everything you’re saying
They want to lock you up
But you can’t stop the water
They want to kick you down
But the wind keeps blowing
And if they want to cut off your head
You know what’ll happen
You’re gonna wind up dead
We’re gonna wind up dead
I’m not the one who makes you cry
"Where did all the songs go?"
I’m not the one who makes you cry
While the rivers all dry up
I’m not the one
I’m not the one who pulls you down
I’m the slow crashing wave

You’re riding on tracks fit to fall
Under storms and a polluted sky
Black waves wash up the dead
Bodies float on by
They are the hidden things from another life
The guilty garbage of your mind
Crying won’t change a thing
Denying it wont help
You don’t remember and you can’t tell
Your brain rots away
Your mind is blank, your heart is ice
"My soul crucified" cry your eyes
I’m not asking you to wait
I’m just asking for a little bit of faith
That what I’ll be is not a fantasy
And some day I’ll be free
I’m a dead man

Heart of The World
06:10

You are not what I think
About the blackened heart of the world
You are what I feel
When stars explode
You are not a faint flickering light
You are the snow-covered sand
In the hours before dawn
A fire dug in the icy ground
Hidden in the white trees
Burning till the rum runs out
You could turn the power out with your mind
And we’ll never need a watch to tell the time
Cause the snow plows been passing by our window all night
You’re singing softly in my ear
My knees are covered with your tears
That’s the sound of our hearts shaking
What we’ve found after all our waiting
And now you think it’s burning out
All of the trees are falling down
Well I’ve seen a forest with a smoking ground
I’ve seen you cry without making a sound
But those were just bad dreams
That is not what this is
I know you still love me
Even from a distance
I never thought you would happen
You’ll throw out your bones to make the stars
Yeah I don’t see this as the end
So I can’t just let it break and tear apart
I never thought this would happen
You’ll tear out your bones to make the stars
If you had to
If you needed to
If I asked you
If I needed you
You’d be there

Detachment
07:37

Why think you’re something special
Just because you’re curious?
It would be a gift to see the way they do
You didn’t break down any walls
To get to me
You didn’t find a way in
All you needed to do
Was break down
Learn to let your shit go
Yeah we are not detached
We were simply not attached at the core
Distinctions are what separate us even from each other
Perception is what separates us from all the others
Go man go
Take charge of your lower self
You’re not stuck anywhere
But your own mind
They beat the drums in the street
Scaring away what they’re trying to find
Mad and mental
Cracked crazed derailed deranged
Frenzied and fried unhinged unglued
Unsettled unscrewed
If you think that something's wrong wake up
Who’s got our hands cuffed and chained, locked up and restrained?
They are trying to cut our bridges in half
You don’t feel everything about anything
How can you see the light if night is the only time you sing?
They are trying to cut our bridges in half
We are being dragged through the winter
We are being robbed of all we hold, dear

Losing Me
05:02
|

|
I remember when the snow was so damn lonely
I tried to cry myself to sleep
Laying on a bed of old guitar strings
Sleeping in a room of broken dreams
Praying that some moon will come to save me
Help my head let go of all these quiet screams
I took it all to mind much too heavy
I let myself be ruled by a heartache
Always growing tired of so much losing
Never getting nothing for all I paid
Feeling like a fool who's been abusing
Some kind of drug that he can’t take
And I swear to you oh I do
I’m not losing me too
I’ve given you the chance to be my queen
I’ve come running every time you called
This will be the last you hear about me
Hanging up my life just to be your doll
So don't come looking for my heartbeat
No don’t come crawling to me when you fall
But I swear to you, oh I do.
I’m not losing me too

Undone

I pulled a piece of your hair in two
I wanted to burn it
I have everything in my pocket full of holes
I have something
Maybe nothing to say
Look for a way
There is a door
But no key to open the lock
A shadow haunts
Why must you do your spells here?
Screams shatter ventricles like a mirror
Your worn property
Your broken tools
Empty boxes you’ll never use
They wont come alive, or after you
You’re not losing your mind
I won’t come undone
I can’t
I am thankful for the truth
But I am weary
Death has been sewn
In the garden of our hopes
A blight rusts my faith
A blindness spreads in my minds eye
A misty veil woven with lies
Wrong place, wrong time
A scared youths soul spins the sky
The clouds a mirror of his mind
She flashes and burns his eyes
Rolling in and out
His angry heart bellows
Broken pieces of the past rust his bones into ash
Wounded weak paw
Oh I can’t walk straight smile nice and dream
Won’t get along
Won’t sing your song
Can’t prove me wrong
I won’t come undone
I can’t come undone
I ain’t there anymore

Dead Man's Song
03:22
|

|
I think I need a doctor
Not just someone to hold me tight
I can’t just wish for meadows
And all my wrongs set right
But I can’t see
The man I’m gonna be
I just hope he finds some peace
But there’s always something wrong
Like a chest with a heart that don't belong
I will sleep in the day
Dream in the night
All the time I’ll be drinking
Just to prove you were right
Until something drops by
To help me see the way
But I doubt ill ever awake
She made me promise not to leave
When I wanted to step out early
I don’t need no doctor
Just someone to hold me tight
I want to sleep in a meadow
At the end of this night
And now the end is rearing up its head
And I don't think that I’ll survive
No I don’t know if I can fight
Yeah I’m riding towards the endless night

Angels

He appeared to me in a sunlit dream
Translucent eyes swallowed me in
What I want to be come haunting
A vision of my greatest friend
My future, my eternal, my destiny
My brother, my Castor, my soul
All my angles are here
All my angles are near
