She nursed him there over a night
I wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay What to say? What to say? But soon she was down, soon he was low At a quarter past, a holy no She had to turn around When she couldn't hold, oh, she folded A dissident is here Escape is never the safest path Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here And to this day, she's glided on Always home but so far away, like a word misplaced Nothing said, what a waste But when she had contact with the conflict There was meaning but she sold him to the state She had to turn around When she couldn't hold, she folded A dissident is here Escape is never the safest path Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here Oh, oh, oh...

The selfish, they're all standing in line
Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time Me, I figure as each breath goes by I only own my mind The north is to south what the clock is to time There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life I know I was born and I know that I'll die The in-between is mine I am mine And the feeling, it gets left behind All the innocence lost at one time Significant behind the eyes There's no need to hide We're safe tonight The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying The full moon is looking for friends at high tide The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied I only know my mind I am mine And the meaning, it gets left behind All the innocence lost at one time Significant behind the eyes There's no need to hide We're safe tonight, whoa And the feelings that get left behind All the innocence broken with lies Significance between the lines We may need to hide And the meanings that get left behind All the innocence lost at one time We're all different behind the eyes There's no need to hide |

Vacate is the word
Vengeance has no place on me or her Cannot find the comfort in this world Artificial tear Vessel stabbed, next up, volunteers? Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere A truant finds home and a will to hold on But there's a trapdoor in the sun It's immortality… As privileged as a whore Victims in demand for public show Swept out through the cracks beneath the door Holier than thou, how? Surrendered, executed, anyhow… Scrawls resolved, cigar box on the floor A truant finds home and a will to hold onto There's a trapdoor in the sun It's immortality... I cannot stop the thought running out the door Coming up a which way sign All good truants must decide Oh, stripped and sold, mom… Auctioned forearm and whiskers in the sink Truants move on, cannot stay long Some die just to live… Oh… |

Up here in my tree, yeah.
Newspapers matter not to me, yeah. No more crowbars to my head, yeah. I'm trading stories with the leaves instead, yeah. Wave to all my friends, yeah. They don't seem to notice me, no. All their eyes trained on the street, yo, oh. Sidewalks, cigarettes, and scenes... tempted. Up here so high I start to shake. Up here so high the sky I scrape. I'm so high I hold just one breath here within my chest, just like innocence. Eddie's down in his home. Oh, the blue sky, it's his home. Eddie's blue sky home. Oh, the blue sky, it's his home. I remember when, yeah, I swore I knew everything, oh yeah. Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah. It's growing up just like me, yeah. I'm so light, the wind he shakes. I'm so high, the sky I scrape. I'm so light I hold just one breath and go back to my nest, sleep with innocence. Up here so high, the boughs they break. Up here so high, the sky I scrape. Had my eyes peeled both wide open, And I got a glimpse of my innocence. Got back my inner sense. Baby, got it, still got it. |

I've used hammers made out of wood
I have played games with pieces and rules I've deciphered tricks at the bar But now you're gone I haven't figured out why I've come up with riddles and jokes about war I figured out numbers and what they're for I've understood feelings and I've understood words But how could you be taken away? And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go It don't seem fair, today just disappeared Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar We were but stones, your light made us stars With heavy breath, awakened regrets Back pages and days alone that could have been spent Together, but we were miles apart Every inch between us becomes light years now No time to be void or save up on life Oh, you got to spend it all And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go It don't seem fair, you seemed to like it here Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar We were but stones, your light made us stars And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go It don't seem fair, today just disappeared Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar We were but stones, your light made us stars |

Time to take heed and change direction Time to take stock and make omissions Evacuation Evacuation Time to take leave all formal functions Time to plant seeds of a reconstruction No time this time to feign reluctance It's like you're waiting for a diamond shore to wash your way. Bets put aside you're evil Lets crawl into your face A vision vague or not raising a frightful wake you up Time for evacuation Evacuation Evacuation Evacuation Evacuation Evacuation There was a solemn man Watched his twilight disappear (in the sand) Altered by a falling eagle. A warning sign. Sign. He sensed that worry could be strength with a plan he said, "Time for evacuation."

Don't need a helmet, got a hard, hard head.
Don't need a raincoat, I'm already wet. Don't need a bandage, there's too much blood. After a while, seems to roll right off. They're whipping... They're whipping... They're whipping... They're whipping... Don't need a hand, there's always arms attached. Don't get behind, I can't fall back. Why must we trust all these rusted rails? They don't want no change we already have. They're whipping... They're whipping... They're whipping... They're whipping... Don't mean to push, but I'm being shoved! I'm just like you, think we've had enough. I can't believe a thing they want us to. We all got scars, they should have them, too. They're whipping... They're whipping... They're whipping... They're whipping... They're whipping...

Do you see the way that tree bends?
Does it inspire? Leaning out to catch the sun's rays. A lesson to be applied. Are you getting something out of this All-encompassing trip? You can Spend your time alone Re-digesting past regrets, oh. Or you can come to terms and realize, You're the only one who can forgive yourself, for... Makes much more sense To live In the present tense. Have you ideas on how this life ends? Checked your hands and studied the lines. Have you the belief That the road ahead Ascends off into the light Seems that needlessly It's getting harder To find an approach and a way to live.

I have not been home since you left long ago
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven Calm steps walking backwards on the road I'm counting my way back to heaven I can't be free with what's locked inside of me If there was a key you took it in your hand There's no wrong or right but I'm sure there's good and bad The questions linger overhead No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead I'm thumbing my way back to heaven I wish that I could hold you, I wish that I had Thinking 'bout heaven I let go of the rope thinking that's what held me back And in time I've realized it's now wrapped around my neck I can't see what's next from this lonely overpass Hang my head and count my steps as another car goes past All the rusted signs we ignored throughout our lives Choosing the shiny ones instead I turned my back, now there's no turning back Mmmmmmm No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead I smile, but who am I kidding? I'm just walking the mile, every once in a while get a ride I'm thumbing my way back to heaven I'm thumbing my way back to heaven I'm thumbing my way back to heaven |

I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name Lifetimes are catching up with me All these changes taking place I wish I'd seen the place, but no one's ever taken me Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away I swear I recognize your breath Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising Me you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate Perhaps that's what no one wants to see I just wanna scream hello My god, it's been so long, never dreamed you'd return But now here you are, and here I am Hearts and thoughts, they fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade |

Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a Corvette
Thinks he'll get the girl he'll only get the mechanic What's missing? He's living a day he'll soon forget That's one more time around, the sun is going down The moon is out but he's drunk and shouting Putting people down, he's pissing He's living a day he'll soon forget Counts his money every morning The only thing that keeps him horny Locked in a giant house that's alarming The townsfolk they all laugh Sorry is the fool who trades his love for high rise rent Seem the more you make equals the loneliness you get And it's fitting He's barely living a day he'll soon forget That's one more time around and there is not a sound He's lying dead clutching Benjamins Never put the money down, he's stiffening We're all whistling a man we'll soon forget |

How does he do it? How do they do it? Uncanny and immutable
This is such a happening tailpipe of a party Like sugar, the guests are so refined A confidence man, but why so beleaguered? He's not a leader, he's a Texas leaguer Swinging for the fence, got lucky with a strike Drilling for fear makes the job simple Born on third, thinks he got a triple Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way I remember when you sang That song about today Now it's tomorrow and Everything has changed A think tank of aloof multiplication A nicotine wish and a columbus decanter Retrenchment and hoggishness The aristocrat choir sings "What's the ruckus?" The haves have not a clue The immenseness of suffering And the odd negotiation, a rarity With onion-skin plausibility of life And a keyboard reaffirmation Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way I remember when you sang That song about today Now it's tomorrow and Everything has changed. |

All comatose but walking still. Why do I? Flowing curves beneath your flowing gown. Why do I? Oh, only I can bring myself down. Why do I? Why do I keep fuckin up? Bowman's pick and dogs that bite. Why do I? Oh, dogs that howl through the night. Why do I? Oh, broken leashes all over the floor. Why do I? Keys left hanging in a swinging door. Why do I? Why do I keep fucking up? |
