Through a Door

through a door
i saw an open door
and peaking in
i saw a couple more
do they all look the same
or have i gone insane
hey have you seen her face
she didn't have a face
gave her another look
and there was still no trace
can you see the same
or has a screw gone loose
and loosened up my brain
how can i tell one from the other
when it seems like i shouldn't bother
some ends i've yet to meet together
never cease to have me linger
should i close the gate
before they all begin
to take other shapes
or must i differentiate
then it all runs out
and it's far too late
hey there is no god that intervenes
these aren't those days i've only seen in dreams
but if i did believe
i'd still be too foolish to perceive
see there is no room for go betweens
you take two sides and it splits down the seams
and if i never leave
i'd have nothing left to believe
where shall i place my hooks and ladders
though it seems like it never matters
these thoughts i've tried so hard to remember
all spent too much time to gather

Be Easy
02:37
|

|
try to be easy now
don't trip on me layin down
it doesn't have to be
just what you ought to see
so be easy for you
and for me
i know you're not crazy
though you sure look it right now
you're seeing everything upside down
to rewind is the only time you see
to see things o so perfectly
and if not for you
then be easy for me
we're getting older everyday
why must you hurry
try to calm yourself down
before you scrape both your knees on the ground
it takes some time to see
just what you want to see
so be easy for you
and for me

High Noon
02:34
|

these days i just can't seem to feel
anything likely to feel real
all you're born to do is to pretend
who ever said that
is probably not your friend
not unless he turns his own head
but then i really shouldn't care bout anything he's ever said
then why are there more of him than more of me
its easier said than how it should be
i could try to read a strangers mind
but then im pretty sure ill never get it right
i know nothing about you
no nothing passed that haircut
and its the same for you
i'm living all the time
i'm dying too but i never really mind
what else can i do
always looking for something shiny and new
i wanna feel a different color
dip my head into cold blue water
anything to change this unchanging weather

Toss Me a Raincoat
02:56
|

|
toss me a raincoat
with these days you ever know
you'd be a fool
to just get up and go
see this life you've been living
in the hospice of life
deep in the suburbs
of your pleasure breeding mind
one day it'll just be
a little story to tell
a few myths and legends
that ring fewer bells
did you forget
that the scent of this life
has a hint
of death
i hate to break it to you
but it breaks itself
i don't mean to harsh your mellow
o goodness no no no
now all is still good
and all is still well
just that someday soon
it'll raise all hell
beneath the filth and grime
laid in the bedrock of time
before anything you've learned
far passed your infinite prime
are teardrops
that fill the sewers of your mind
and all the faces unseen
in those cinema dreams
and the people you've met
smoking each others
cigarettes
don't you forget
cracks youve been paving
crack closer
at best

late bloomer
you're blooming too late
time keeper
keeping time of your fate
hey brother
don't be afraid
when calculating
all the things you hate
space trooper
troop if you may
but your'e acting like
you've got no bills to pay
dream catcher
keep on catching away
your magic carpets
got no magic today
hey honest thinker
think of truth if you will
but all the thoughts you're thinking's keeping you still
hey soul tripper
you can trip all day
just dont mistake it for
running away
late bloomer
youre blooming too late
time keeper
keeping time of your fate
hey brother
dont be afraid
when calculating
all the things to say

Unwind
04:53
|

|
not quite painless
but i'm light
i could loosen up my speechless tongue
if it's wound up too tight
i'll keep insisting
what i've insisted
just to feel the fog inside me being lifted
but i never really enjoy myself
see i know as it exits my front door
it comes running, running back for more
but all this time, all this time
all my time, all my time
i've been wasting
for so long
on nothing
on nothing at all
i don't think the moon comes to life
just to fuck over the light
i could breeze through the midnight air
if i felt alright
ive been singing old songs so high and wild
there aint nothing else for me to find
if i'm looking
too hard
for something
i'll go back to the start
i've made my mind, i've made my mind
all that time left to unwind
i spent waiting
for so long
on nothing
on nothing at all

Spare Me
05:28
|
|||
|
breath it in he said
just breath it in
but man i grow colder
with every breath i'm taking in
i'll never rest
and who could live with any less
i need something new
other than what i'm supposed to do
wont anyone tell me
how you make it look so easy
you set yourselves all ablaze
the brightest of your days
sure hurts to see you
though i dont mean to stare
sure burns when i'm near you
but what do i care
wont anyone tell me
i feel my bones are too weary
i need a breather from breathing in
its spreading out too thin
all this air ive been borrowing
your light it shines so brightly
you take my sight completely
if you're outta fucks to spare me
hey man i really dont blame you
when falling apart is this easy

So it Goes
04:05
|
|||
|
desperation hangs upon the lights that light my room
i often cannot see without though i've somewhat grown immune
i turn on the tv to see whats new
it's struck a chord too many times its beaten down my nerves
killed by nothing else but by the death they long deserved
i'll wash my face and change this set of clothes
hey o well
so it goes
to a place no one cares to know
there's poetry in things i've seen yet wish for to unsee
now eluding both my hands i might know what it means
nothing ever seems quite as whole
these lines i've walked once straight went on to take a shallow curve
but that's just fine with me to start on some ground i've reserved
but do i long for me to feel
hey o well
so it goes
to a place i yet again want to know

Even the Shiny Kind
02:15
|
|||
|
grains of sand
in the palm of my hand
losing my mind
for the shiniest kind
yet i assume
through the storm clouds that loom
until i go home
until i feel at home
visions i've had
i find that grain of sand
the shiniest one
shining bright like the sun
only to find
to find myself inside
until i go home
until i feel at home
will i ever feel at home
