The Fisherman

One fine fisherman
leaves his lady
and his perfectly ordinary world
He makes it to the ocean
feels the harbor breezes blowing
in search of somthing he'd always known
The water seemed so calm
unlike anything he'd known
he will make them believe
he can tame this sea
One gentle summer evening
man comes from behind him
says he likes to watch the churning foam
This old man, a captain
says you got to go deeper
if you really want to feel her pull
The water seemed so calm
unlike anything he'd known
he will make them believe
he can tame this sea
What a beautiful place
he has found here
Watch the ships melt
in the sun
He will make them believe
he can tame this sea
Two days, a boat, an ocean
lifetime of work is waiting
leaves tomorrow, are you in
The water seemed so calm
unlike anything he'd known
he will make them believe
he can tame this sea
he will tame this sea

Memory
03:55

Don't want to be here now
Don't want to be left out
Don't want to let them down
Feel like I've run aground
Touch me, Heal me
Keep me away and please
feel me
Regret is a constant sound
Sane ears bleed it out
Guilt is a heavy shroud
Wrapped up and tightly wound
Touch me, Heal me
Keep me away and please
feel me
Touch me, Heal me
Keep me away and please
feel me
Keep me away
from the dark places
heal me
feel me
tired of feeling down

Cycles
03:41
|

|
The motion
the places
the faces blur
I once was
I still am
not sure if
the cycles
worth repeating
not sure of anything
I've been here
I've seen this
it all comes back
This life is so revealing
if you just pay attention
this world it moves in cycles
chances are you've been here
before
The summers
the falling leaves
the winter snow
the feelings
this heartache knows
the cycles worth repeating
I'm sure of everything
I've been here
I've seen this
it all comes back
This life is so revealing
if you just pay attention
this world it moves in cycles
chances are you've been here
before
I've been here
I've seen this
It all comes back
This life is so revealing
if you just pay attention
this world it moves in cycles
chances are you've been here
before

Selfless
03:48
|
|||
|
I like to run naked
feel the breeze
Because it makes me
free again
I like to watch silent
make sense of this
I know it sounds crazy
that's who I am
Wish I could
turn and walk away
not from you
but from me
I wished and wished
so many times
thought that I should go
and live my life
Oh, my life
I would take it back
if I could
grab the reason
keep it
it's just me
Wish I could
turn and walk away
not from you
but from me
I wished and wished
so many times
thought that I should go
and live my life
Oh, my life
I'd like to think that
I could change
leave the reason
set us free

Glass Eyes

You are my angel
You are my toy
beautful doll
with empty glass eyes
I wind you up
you shower me with kisses
turn the key
you serve my wishes
Come on and dance
for me
Darling won't you
dance for me
Isnt she lovely
Isn't she sweet
frozen bright smile
with iron clad feet
Go back in your box
it's not time to play
in your plastic
that's where you'll stay
I wind you up
you showere me with kisses
turn the key
you serve my wishes
Come on and dance
for me
Darling won't you
dance for me
Wonder if you know
Wonder if you see
All that you are
what I want you to be
Put in a coin
a few bits of silver
I will make
you
mine
Isnt she lovely
Isn't she sweet
frozen bright smile
with iron clad feet

Off The Wire

Both companies deny flaws
10,000 people die
they had to pay a fine
I know, the nights are long
I know, the world is cold
I know, it's gonna get better
long after I'm gone
Oh, when I'm gone
Oh, long gone
Body of a little boy
found in the woods below
he was only Ten years old
I know, the nights are long
I know, the world is cold
I know, it's gonna get better
long after I'm gone
A new low
descends to Mexico
bundle up, we've gotten cold
A new way
more humane
to mask our fascination with gold

Grace
03:40
|

|
Maybe today
will be the day
you blame the past
put it all away
Maybe today
will be the day
You come to terms
Face the truth
rise from falling grace
face the truth
rise from falling grace
Maybe these days
will never change
you'll hide the past
keep it all the same
Maybe today
will be the day
You come to terms
Face the truth
rise from falling grace
face the truth
rise from falling grace
So much time been wasted
suffering the past
So much time been wasted
happened in the past
So much time been wasted
everything a waste

Nothing Sound
04:23
|
|||
|
I'm trying
to find the words
but theres nothing
to describe
how I feel inside
Are there any places
where a man
has never stood before
I will take you
and lay you down
in that place
where there is no sound
Our words linger
echo towards the stars
no one around
to disturb
the rythmn
as we dance
to the nothing sound
I will take you
and lay you down
in that place
where there is no sound
I will hold you
until the end
of time
til the end of time
