Last night, in the moments my thoughts were adrift
And coasting a terrace, approaching a rift Through which I could spy several glimpses beneath Of the darkness the light from above could not reach I spied wings of reason, herself taking flight And upon yonder precipice saw her alight And glared back at me one last look of dismay As if she were the last one she thought I'd betray So much better I said to myself And drawing quite close to the top of the shelf I struggled with destiny upon the ledge And gasped when defeated he slipped off the edge And silence contagious in moments like these Consumed me and strengthened my will to appease The passion that sparked me one terrible night And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite So much better I said to myself And drawing quite close to the top of the shelf I struggled with destiny upon the ledge And gasped when defeated he slipped off the edge And silence contagious in moments like these Consume me and strengthen my will to appease The passion that sparked me one terrible night (And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite) The passion that sparked me one terrible night (And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite) The passion that sparked me one terrible night (And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite) The passion that sparked me one terrible night (And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite) The passion that sparked me one terrible night (And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite) |

If time were only part of the equation
Then you could draw the bound'ries of our cage You wouldn't pile another stone upon me And I'd be happy just to watch you age But everything is in its own dominion And waiting in the shallows as I do Appeases me as water slowly trickles out Which isn't nearly fast enough for you It isn't nearly fast enough for you It isn't nearly fast enough for you Its what I was afraid of I stumble into view But it isn't nearly fast enough for you It isn't nearly fast enough for you |

When you're here I sleep lengthwise.
And when you're not, I sleep diagonal. |

The overhead view is of me in a maze
And you see what I'm hunting a few steps away And I take a wrong turn and I'm on the wrong path And the people all watching enjoy a good laugh Embarrassed with failure, I try to reverse The course that my tread had already traversed So doing the trauma engulfing my dream Invaded through what was an unguarded seam The torrent of helplessness swept me away To the cavern of shame and the hall of dismay Inside me a voice was repeating this phrase: "You've lost it, you'll never get out of this maze" You'll never get out of this maze (x7) |

The pressure builds, you buy a gift
You're hoping that your dread will lift It glitters on her like a glass You shudder as it comes to pass Apologize to Luce and Lil' Converse with Ed, a drive with Jill Your friends confine you in their worlds One by one, a string of pearls Confuse you say, this isn't me You hover in their unity Ashamed, you slowly lose your grasp Release the links, undo the clasp The skin that drips down from the tree And peels back slowly from your knee Erupts into your lung and heart You laugh and laughing, fall apart Laugh and laughing, fall apart(x28) Laugh and Laughing fall apart(x14) |

Rhine wine, Car horn
Now that you've deceived me, and played my name around And hung those nasty flyers, on all the buildings in town Dribbled my possessions in a ring around the earth And bought and sold my self-control for less than it was worth Now I know the reason that I'm feeling so forlorn I'll pick you up at eight as usual, listen for my horn Rhine wine, Car Horn |

We're bobbing on the surface
and the shadow glides below They say she feels my heartbeat Oh..But how I'll never know That it's the ocean flowing in our veins Oh..That it's the salt that's in our tears Oh..'Cause we could have come so very far Oh..In at least as many years! Take the highway through the Great Divide (x2) I'm building you a pyramid With limestone blocks so large I drag them from the mountain top You'll need a two car garage And it's the ocean flowing in our veins Oh..That it's the salt that's in our tears Oh..Cause we could have come so very far Oh..In at least as many years Take the highway through the Great Divide x2 Cause it's the ocean flowing in our veins Oh..That it's the salt that's in our tears Oh..Cause we could have come so very far Oh..In at least as many years Take the highway through the Great Divide |

My friend my friend, He's got a knife
A statement from his former life When he was easy but alone Beside him was an empty throne But what of silver silken blade Afixed his gaze, His features stayed Grasps the handle, Clips the cable One steps up, Sits at his table My friend my friend, He's got a knife My friend my friend, He's got a wife My friend my friend, A clever ruse Persuasion through his thoughts peruse A hidden relic from his past That wasnt there when he looked last He feels it ticking like a bomb Feeding fear, Assaulting calm Takes the object, Starts the game Moves it closer to the flame My friend my friend, A clever ruse My friend my friend, He lights the fuse Chours My friend my friend, He's got a knife(x20) Mife (Laugh for 3 seconds) |

The old man knows very well
Going down by the snowbank, there's a mound A mound that an old man knows good Look who raises his shoe all over this mound Right over the world that's another rewind And it's time, time, time for the last rewind For a broken old man and a world unkind He buried all his memories of home In an icy clump that lies beneath the ground No one knows how far he traveled Oh! I heard he walked miles from the little mound Can he find some balls on his chin? He doesn't know to behold what the cold frost can do And at last till he realized he'd circled back around Round a back circle, round a back realized Ice is all he was made of The bitter blue balls, and frozen through He went over to the mound Reclining down his final thoughts Trey is a Jedi Were drifting to the time this life had shined |

I press on the elastic sheet, I'm breathing through a slice
'Are they worms or are the serpents?' bubbles through the ice The source was quite invisible, the ever-present voice While skating, both legs tracing different shapes, I made my choice Mimicking the image in whose radiance I bask I'm tied to him, or him to me, depending who you ask None the less reluctantly reflections tumble in I slide with all the other on the wrong side of the skin He's fallen on the ice, it cracks Will he plunge in and join me here? He meets my eyes, to my surprise He laughs in full light of my frown My double wants to pull me down Slipping on the friction slide, my skin peels to the bone The flesh I leave behind, is something that is not my own I beg my mirror image for a moment with my soul He's leaning back, time to attack, it's me who's in control And every move I make he's got a hand up just in time He's throwing several punches, and he's blocking most of mine Defeated now I sulk and squirm in mud with frozen mice Waiting, calculating till next he ventures on the ice |

It's time I sling the baskets off this overburdened horse,
sink my toes into the sand and set a different course, because if I were here and you were there, I'd meet you in between and not until my dying day confess what i have seen. |

My glance is always darting, when I stroll the avenue
Avoiding all the obstacles that terrorize my view If you are here with me, I trust you to lead the way When you're not I follow you, and always go astray Silent in the morning Suspended in the trees Lunch time comes you've found your voice It brings me to my knees The volume just increases The resounding echoes grow Till once again I bask in morning stillness, I love so The target that I shoot for seems to move with every breath I tighten all my arteries and make one last request Divine creation hears me, and he squashes me with fear I think that this exact thing happened to me, just last year Silent in the morning You found your voice that brings me to Silent in the morning You found your voice that brings me to Silent in the morning You found your voice that brings me to my knees I will not dismiss you, shelter you, speak with you Smile at you, trust in me, Not to brush you off, and I agree |
