breakerfall

there's a girl on a ledge
who's got nowhere to turn
cause all the love that she had
was just wood that she burned
now her life is on fire
it's no ones concern
she can blame the world
or prey till dawn
but only love
will breakerfall.
breakerfall
yeah, only love will breakerfall

it's like she lost her invitation
to the party on earth
and she's standing outside
hating everyone here
she's her own disease
crying to her doll
but only love
can breakerfall
breakerfall
only love
can breakerfall
yeah

breakerfall
oh oh oh
only love can breakerfall
breakerfall...
only love can breakerfall



god's dice

it's out of my hands making all hands meet
stop crumbling and stumbling out of reach
it's in the cards
your destiny, your sanity in tow

designate my luck
resignate...

this power has no roots to guide, no role
trust me, rusted minds refuse to go
unwillingness, it's meaningless
to walk away in vain

designate my world
designate my fill
resignate...

my will is crashing, synapses flashing slow
days like frame by frame where do they go?
why fight? forget it
can't i spend it after i go

roll them high...
throw them again...
all god's dice.

monkey driven, call this living, ha ha ha
too much thought, it's overwrought, a hole
minding yours what's mine not yours
will finish us off

designate my life
designate my view
designate my will, my will, my will, i will
resignate my god.



evacuation

the sirens scream wanton attention
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 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 who
watched his twilight disappear
(in the sand)
altered by a fallen eagle
a warning sign...
(a sign)
he sensed worry could be strength
with a plan he said

time for...
evacuation...
evacuation...
evacuation...
evacuation...

evacuation...
evacuation...
evacuation...
evacuation...



light years

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've 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...
our light's reflected now...
reflected from afar...
we were but stones...
your light made us stars

with heavy breath...
awakened regrets...
backpages 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...
got to spend it all...

and wherever you've gone...
and wherever we might go...
it don't seem fair...
you seem to like agian...
our lights 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...
you seem to like agian...
our lights reflected now...
reflected from afar...
we were but stones...
your light made us stars



nothing as it seems

don't feel like home...
he's a little out...
and all these words elope...
it's nothing like your poem...
putting in...
inputting in...
don't feel like methadone...
a scratching voice...
all alone...
it's nothing like your baritone...
it's nothing as it seems...
the little that he needs...
it's home
the little that he sees...
is nothing. he concedes...
it's home

one uninvited chromosome...
a blanket like the ozone
it's nothing as it seems
all that he needs...
it's home
the little that he frees...
is nothing, he believes...
saving up a sunny day...
something maybe two tone...
anything to call his own...
a chip off the cornerstone...
who's kidding rainy day...
a one way ticket headstone...
occupations overthrown...
whisper through a megaphone...

it's nothing as it seems...
the little that he needs...
it's home...
the little that he sees...
is nothing. he concedes...
it's home...
and all that he frees...
a little bittersweet...
it's home
it's nothing as it seems...
the little that you see...
it's home



thin air

there's a light...
when my baby's in my arms...
there's a light...
when the window shades are drwn...

hesitate...
when i feel i may do harm to her...
wash it off...
cause this feeling we can share...

and i know she's reached my heart...
in thin air...

byzantine...
is reflected in our pond...
there's a cloud...
but the water remains calm...

reaching in...
the suns fingers clutch the dawn to pass...
even out...
it's a precious thing to bear...

and i know she's reached my heart...
in thin air...
yes i know she's reached my heart...
in thin air...

it's not in my past to presume...
love can keep on moving...
in both directions...

how to be happy and true...
is the quest were taking on together...

taking on... on... on... on...
taking on... on... on... on...

there's a light...
when my baby's in my arms...

and i know she reached my heart...
in thin air...
and i know she reached my heart...
in thin air...
and i know she reached my heart...
in thin air...

yes i know she's reached my heart.



insignificance

all in all... it's no one's fault...
excuses turn to carbon walls...
blame it all on chemical intercourse..

the swallowed seeds of arrogance...
breeding in the thoughts of ten...
thousand fools that fight irrelevance.

the full moon is dead skin...
the one down here's wearing thin...
so set up... the ten pins.
as the human's tide rolls in...
like a ball that's spinning.

bombs... dropping down...
overhead... underground...
it's instilled... to wanna live.

bombs... dropping down...
please forgive... our hometown...
in our insignificance.

turn the jukebox up, he said...
dancing in irreverence...
play v-3... let the song protest.

the place begin to shift...
perfect lefts come rolling in...
i was alone... and far away...
when i heard the band start playing...
on the lip... late take off.

bombs... dropping down...
overhead... underground...
it's instilled... to wanna live.

bombs... dropping down...
please forgive... our hometown...
in our insignificance.

feel like resonance of distance...
in the blood... the iron lies.

it's instilled... to wanna live.

bombs... dropping down...
please forgive... our hometown...
in our insignificance.
our insignificance.



of the girl

oh he deals em off...
off the top...
ties em off...
fills it up...
with his past...
gets carried away...
oh half his life...
a hand me down...
wasted away...
oh he fills it up...
with the love...
of a girl

he left it alone...
drilled the pain...
money to buy...

how he makes his getaway...
how he makes his getaway...

oh he chose a path...
heavy the fall...
quarter to four...
fills his night...
with the thought...
of a girl...

how he makes his getaway...
how he makes his getaway...
how he makes his getaway...



grievance

have a drink they're buying...
bottom of, bottle of denial...

big guy... big eye... watching me...
have to wonder what it sees...
progress... laced with... ramifications...
freedoms because...

pull the innocent from a crowd...
raise the sticks then bring em down...
if they fail to obey...
if they fail to obey...

for every tool they lend us...
a loss of independence

pledge my grievance to the flag...
cause you don't give blood...
then take it back again...
we're deserving of something more

progress... taste it... invest-it-all
champagne breakfast for everyone...

break the innocent when they're proud...
raise the stakes... then bring em down...
if they fail to obey...
if they fail to obey...

pledge your grievance to the flag...
aw c'mon, don't give blood...
then take it back again...
we're deserved... something more

i wanna breathe...
i wanna see...
i wanna taste... everyone i see

i wanna rob them...
i wanna run to see...
i wanna learn... to be...
i just wanna be...

i wanna feel... alive...
as long as i am free



rival

all my rivals will see
what i have in store... my gun...
i've been harboring fleets
in this reservoir... red sun...
and this nation's about to explode...
you're disciples are riddled
with metaphors... well hung...
better pony up and bring
both your barrelfulls... not one...
as we release this unspeakable toll...
how's our mother to
damn these contributors... with mud...
how will the man who made
chemicals difficult... shed blood?
how's our father supposed to be toll?



sleight of hand

routine was the theme...
he'd wake up...
wash and pour himself into uniform...
something he hadn't imagined being...

as the merging traffic passed...
he found himself staring...
down... at his own... hands...

not remembering the change...
not recalling the plan...
was it...?

he was okay... but wondering...
about wandering... was it age...
by consequence?...
or was he moved by sleight of hand?

mondays were made to fall...
lost on a road he knew by heart...
wrapped in the same old walls...
it was a book he read in his
sleep... endlessly

sometimes he hid in his radio...
watching others pull into their homes...
while he was drifting...
on a line... of his own...
off the line... on the side...
bye the by... as dirt turned to sand...
as if moved by sleight of hand...

when he reached the shore of his...
clip on world...
he resurfaced to the norm...
organized his few things...
coat and keys...
any new realizations...
would...
have to wait...

till he had more time... more time...

time to dream... to himself...
waves goodbye... to his own self...
see you on the... other side...

another man... moved by sleight of hand...



soon forget

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 hi-rise rent...
seems 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 sounds...
he's lying dead, clutching benjamins...
never put the money down...
he's stiffening...
we're all whistling....
a man we'll soon forget



parting ways

behind her eyes there's cutains...
and they've been closed to hide the flames...
remains

she knows... their futures burning...
but she can smile just the same...

and thugh her mood is fine today...
there's a fear they'lll soon be parting ways.

standing like a statue...
chin of stone... heart of clay... hey.

and though he's too big a man to say...
there's a fear they''ll soon be parting ways...

drifting away...
drifting away...
drifting away...
drifting away...
drifting away...
drifting away...
