we've got it all in our hands
we won't let go of our demands, and now
we're making all our mistakes again
do you want some advice
a long-term relationship
with nothing but myself and some instruments, so now
here's another indifferent
collected writing with it
I traded all of my bitterness
for a little more self respect in this
and for the hours complaining
here's my lament
another time I decided
I was gonna write a line a day, but then
I'd rather spend some more time over
what I was gonna say

what's in the noise
02:48
|
|||
|
can you explain to me
prescientifically
the quality of thunder
to a listening being
what's in the noise
challenging the silence
of falling water
of the crashing sea
do you believe in peace
in order in the mess
do you want the trouble
from off your backs
what's in the noise
the challenge in the silence
of cracking ice
of breaking trees
it starts with a bang
and ends in a hit
it crafts in between
and we're part of it

chasing dragons
02:45
|
|||
|
my fear disappeared
with the faith I lost over the years
into orbit I had injected and seen
most bottoms and tops
and it's a -
a long distance
close to gone
chasing dragons
what's happening now
is it baseless or a reasonable doubt
I'm a content non-believer and a constant ill-conceiver
of messages from above, cause that's a -
a long distance
relation
and I'm down here
in elation
chasing dragons
flight instincts, bad habits
gone loved ones, killed idols
non-belief, ill-conceived
soul harbour to skin and bone
a long distance
close to gone
chasing dragons

stay okay
04:11
|
|||
|
in eyes close to tears
like the falling glass to breaking
you see the smallest things
a little too malorienting
and in your head they swell
and you can't break their spell
to the sweep of the wipers you
strike up a song ad lib
as the words sound right
you light another five minutes
thinking of what's ending
and what is up ahead
I want for you to have your way
and for us to stay okay
a dream during daytime
you spent the night shuteyed
not hopeful nor desperate
fearlessly lost and wasted
and nearly alright
seperate checks and nights
I want for you to have your way
And for us to stay okay
I know you do, you want the same

good morning
good midnight
I am coming home
days got
tired of me
how could I of them
sunshine
was a sweet place
I had liked to stay
but morning
didn't want me
so goodbye to day
I can be anything in the world
and I am anything in the world
good morning
good midnight
I am coming home
sunshine was a sweet place
I had liked to stay
I can be anything in the world
and I am anything in the world

hours
03:48

come to the window and look here
you know it's there but you're not interested
the feeling of a faint ordeal
it's a misfortune so foreseeable
come in today, come in again
there's no eyes for me in you
I know you can't hear
my pounding and my shouting sounds
of all things I haven't tried
now I got reasons to
for all the hours I've been withstanding
been walking in my sleep for days
maybe if you smiled
I could wake up for a while
all the hours we've been withstanding
like walking in our sleep for days
lately there's a smile
we haven't held in a while

i admire you
03:08
|
|||
|
it's coming up you're going through
all the motions of the shrew
and I admire you for all the things you knew
wouldn't get you anywhere
it's coming back a day too soon
and in a rush you fill the room
and I admire you for all you didn't do
cause anything's not good enough
oh i admire you.
you are the one I'm gonna sit with
anyday, anytime
you are the metaphor I won't find out what for
and anything is not enough
you move like you can never get tired
you smoke like you are getting inspired
you dance like you are flying by wire
and you sleep like you were always here
I admire you.

a stone called rock
03:15
|
|||
|
I feel swallowed and thrown up
like a product of your bulimic love
if my heart should love, then my voice could tell
and my hands would show you
and I knew all this, yeah I knew all this
and I do all this to you
she said, "where you are, boy, I have been
and I knew all about addiction, before I got addicted."
and we're gonna die, we're gonna die the way
we're gonna die the way we wanna live
and I do all this to you
like you do these things to me
and there is no steering wheel
in case you roll a lot
you're like a stone called rock
oh oh - oh oh

stars don't show
04:06
|
|||
|
if only you had known me more
if only there was more to know
if I had arms I'd take you
if anyone had fallen out
it is me out of a crowd
and neither of you could stop me
and I know
stars don't show
when I see
clouds over me
if only you had known me more
if only there was more to know
and if I had a voice I'd tell you
if anyone had fallen out
it is me out of a crowd
and either of you would drop me
and I know
stars don't show
cause I see
clouds over me
You couldn't be around
I couldn't make a sound
broken from the inside out

never say always
03:39
|
|||
|
I've a hard time waiting
it's always a wait with you
draw on my attention
for an hour or two
you don't see patience
or room for another view
the time made up for
you throw it away
the day I broke my edge
I told you I won't take you in again
where did you wanna go when you came here?
who did you wanna leave when you met me?
you looked for love where I don't exist
you looked for love where it don't exist
been a long time pending
it's always and never true
I'm down on assertion
and excuses too
there's no foundation
or roots we can put forth to
time made up for
was wasted away
the day I broke my edge
I let you have your way with me again
you came here, you met me, where it don't exist.

vienna to venice
03:08

trains roll in, venice to vienna
maybe can you bring some of the better
from where you've been
I watch the wagons roll on by
one two three four five
trains roll out, vienna to venice
and to where you are, wherever that is
uh I had plenty time remembering better days
for in a dream I had found a saner place
that'd be so much relief
rallying for a release
jumped the train, venice from vienna
I can't wait to be, inside your weather
breathe and become part of the fabric of all art
trace back the life to a new start
uh I had plenty time remembering better days
for in a dream I had found a saner place
that'd be so much relief
I need to find a relief
rallying for a release

glow
03:56
|
|||
|
yellow like a potted plant
dried out underneath gaslamps
as leaves closer to rot than heal
between snow and sea
we'll either drown or freeze
what we had in mind
to come alive not glaze in your light
what you had in store
a compromise to smother our glow
a want for something to really love
a love like something you really need
to the memories you're trying to keep
for the prospect of sanity
we'll make friends with our old foes
we'll chase the sway wherever it goes
let them know what we think
"they're more afraid to die than the rest of us"
we got a lot coming
we had a harder past
what we had in mind
to come alive not glaze in your light
what you had in store
a compromise to smother our glow
