Shutting Down:

I�m shutting down
I�ve got more than I could ever give
I�ve got reasons I can not live with
Open, follow, I�m your leader now
Blame me but don�t save me
I�m dross and running out (My domain)
They contacted me, �X� marks the spot where they beat me inside
Falling inline, I pull my tail between my legs
Pick up the pieces, to fall back in pieces (Hot room)
I need a vacation
Dollar bills flow
Spilling out my brains
Not this, I don�t want this
You can have your bloody champagne (Capital gain)

Closer to the Ground:

Learning to learn, make way within
I call you out, and you call out the sin
My face erased, now sanctified
Retire early and watch sunsets from your sky
�Cause this place is burning up on me
And as far as I can see, I can�t see a thing
I�m earning keep
Crashing down on my knees
Face to face with the war for (inner) peace
Stand on your feet for me
I�ve seen the signs a million ways
You gave your love to me
You dripped your blood to see
I feel the light in all the pain
Although it�s hard to breathe
You�ve got me seeing things
I was lost and now I found my way

Kill:


Hello Marie, how are you doing
And when can we get things right
Where I want them
I drool to you at my expense
Fuck, I want to touch you
Inside the night inside your mind
But for real
I�ve got you locked down in my sights
I�d kill-to be the one that takes you way out to sea
I�d kill-oh can you feel this breeze
What do wanters want
How �bout all they can taste
And they do, what they do
Because I don�t know what I know
And I�ve gotta know
Are you still coming with me
To that place
Where we run around in open space
I�d kill-to have you not seem quite like you seem
I�d kill-aaahhh, stop ignoring me
I�ll blame you till the end�
I�ll find you there, and you�ll listen to me�
I just want to talk to you
I just want to talk


Know Me:

Know me
Excuse me with my presence
I wish I had a present for you
You want a life to call your own
Well I want that too
But can you handle all that
The hardships and fears
Because these will appear
I�m not a perfect man but I know you�
And now I beg you to�
Know me
Lets say we take a rain-check
To see if in time we gravitate back to mates
Why do you need so much proof now
Alright stop--
Just look into these eyes girl
My mind set the scene
Your eyes took the gleam
Now I�m not a perfect man
But I know the way you looked at me�
It was springtime when you said�
�Are we growing because I�m feeling dead�
Dead

Episode One:

I fixed myself upon your eyes
And you didn�t mind it
It was a mutual kind of thing
My head spun round n round n round
Surrounding me with a yearning so deep
I �bout straight hit the ground
�Cause the joys in life aren�t always free
But this tonight shines a smile so honestly
Is this where we begin
Episode one
Have we begun
Got set his watch for perfect timing
And I�m not minding
I may be broke but I can play in the rain
And I�ll take you out and thrash your doubt
Surrounding you with a yearning so deep
You�ll �bout straight hit the ground

Mindset:

Living inside of this old empty home
Living the life where you burn out alone
In a mindset
Gotta get out of this cold dirty room
Gotta get out and ditch all this glow
Well you know that I�m still running away
From the nights where the pain poured like rain
But, now I�m opening
I�m falling into her
I�m giving my all
So don�t break me
I�m watching that picture
I�m lost in my head
Until I find you
Leaving behind all the words that I wrote
Leaving to find all the feelings she wrote
Gotta get out and just go the ?
Gotta get out, gotta turn this around
Well my mindset is you
Oh yeah, well my mindset is you

Light show (Original/Un-Recorded Lyrics) :

I want to paint a picture
I�ve got goose bumps and chills
Living it up on this weak end
Feels so good, I could die
Lets do this again. Hit the sky
Run to the edge and spread my wings out
I want to see if I can soar this way   
Run to the edge and pour yourself out
I�ve got to learn that my mind is a terrible thing
we choose to waste
(One day we�ll learn that our death is only but
a laugh away)
Everyone has their thing
Keep it locked in a secret
We are all born to escape
Just don�t get off track
My heart is pounding
The door of my mind is breaking down
Flashbacks of when I was safe
Help me, I can barely breathe
And I don�t deserve to pray
I see a different shades of light
Light show, light show, light show.. LIGHTS!!!

Lightshow (Current/Recorded Lyrics) :


G-g-g-g-g-God!!!
I want to paint a picture
Lights off with no more reasons
I�ve got a story to tell
Of visiting hell every weekend
Lights low, it�s time to get high
Living it up �til ya�.
But I�m still breathing
I�m not dead I�m still here
It�s time to face the mirror
Won�t be bought, won�t be sold
Beaten down
But I�m still standing
Loose ends get tied in a knot
Hit by the truth on the slow comedown
Run to the edge and pour yourself out
Lights!
First Summer:

Hiding out, losing ground
Years have passed and I want to start over
Bridge that gap, take a step back
Lets go back to our first summer
When I was a young boy we'd run without hesitation
Twelve hours a day and I could always feel you
What discolored us?
What turned you away?
Crawl back into my head �cause I don't ever feel you, no.
When were we outgrown?
When we were friends for so long...
It was me over your house or you over mine
Not a day went "bye" that I wouldn't see you
Tell me, remember the tears?
Remember the smiles?
What happened to you �cause I don't ever feel you ...No

Moon-Calf Friend:

Stop playing that same chord
You're endlessly on that chord
So many notes are on the fret board
And yet you wonder why you're so bored
Kid open your eyes and wake
You used to rock
Yeah you used to make me cry every time you sang
But now you're slipping away
And my ears ring from the feedback and smoked out ruins that you live in
Come back to the band, my moon-calf friend
You're falling on your fate
And its kind of lame the way your lyrics were sold
And the notes you sing, you know that they feel cold
And yet you wonder why...you wonder why you're so bored
Kid open your eyes and wake
There's only so much we can take
You've got to open your eyes and wake!!!
Basically you're letting me down over and over again
You've got to shout on your life...not too late
Living amongst your shallow grave
I've been over-rated
My haze...

Drifter:


Losing my balance, pouring out all I had for you
So much time was spent on finding that single way to get through
Yeah, you had me, but you didn't seem to care
You're killing me...hey don't you see me here?
Well I sit here so locked up in your world
Maybe I should find another girl(?)
Well I've walked more than eggshells over you
And yet still I don't know exactly what to do
So I remain a drifter
Smiles they come and go, unlike the drama between us
We're two souls I know, but that doesn't mean you had to dent our trust�

Her Way:

Saying your name days pass away
Calling your name I don't give up
Cause you'll hear me someday
I see your gleam
You're looking in me
You are that dream
Stop floating away
And stay with me
How many years do I have to put in you
Tell me the song to sing to get in you
She's searching for some sort of heaven to lay unto
I�ll keep praying I'm her way
Let down that guard, its not that hard
Allow me in your heart
Pour yourself and bloom for me
Under a glass case rests your gorgeous face
I only want one taste
Fall unto me and we'll fall onto grace
How do I get that storm out of you
Tell me will this song help you to see the truth?
She's looking for some sort of heaven to fall onto
I�ll keep praying I'm her way
I'm your way

She Said:

Come along and take your hair down
Forget about your stress, your ex isn't in your town
We'll run around naked till we get caught
Then have security chase us around
With me you'll get your kicks I promise you that
Can you tell me, when was the last time you really laughed?
I feel you need to escape
She said "stir me up, just a bit" well lets quit our jobs and then dye our hair green
She said" Stir me up, just a bit." well lets count the stars and give each one a name
Your life has been swirled around
And parents got your confidence down
Leaving you to feel trapped in dismay
Come along and take your shoes off
You're as powerful as you become
And tonight's your night to prowl and scowl to forget
Can you tell me...when was the last time you really laughed?
I feel you need to escape
She said" stir me up, just a bit." well lets slash our tires and drive around in the rain
She said" Stir me up, just a bit." well lets drink till laughter drowns out our pain
Yeah lets romp around and brag about our fame

Straight Circle:

Fork in the road
Is it a smile or is it a frown
That depends on how I see it
Well I've been feeling up
I've been feeling upside down
Take this time and watch it make a man insane
First big footstep off this carousel
Not something why should question today
Gotta get out, but how do I start moving when everyone and everything factors in
"One fast move or I'm gone"(Jack Karouac)...I couldn't be more like you.
A nomad in his straight circle again
Insufficient self-esteem
I'm on the low end of my jubilance
There's a pot of gold I see it
Wishing well...Well what you're saying to me is sounding too intense�

Where Are You Now:

I see your face, only in a bleaching picture
Where the sun has shown the years gone bye
I walk alone, up and down familiar streets
Where I turn around before I sigh
It makes me wonder,
Where have the years taken you?
I find myself wanting to do the things we do
Because you were my fun
You were my number one
And it makes me wonder
Where are you now
Hand in hand
Together we would stand
And it makes me wonder
Where are you now?
I heard your voice when I opened an old letter
That same old spark went off inside
Imagining you with me
Walking down that same blue coastline
You always found that spark in my life
Where are you now?
