Canary Never Sang
04:18
|
|||
Betsy was on Cloud Nine when her dreamboat sank
We all want that thing
We all walk that plank and end up in the drink
360° no land in sight, 365
That ain't no kind of life
To wake up in a bind
Down in a pitch black hole we had everything pegged
We had time to waste, until everything changed
The canary never sang
Something is going on and I think the death of me is just the death of me
I try not to think about it
I try not to drink about it
You were on Cloud Nine when your dreamboat sank
We all want that thing
We all walk that plank and end up in the drink
360° no land in sight, 365
That ain't no kind of life
Waking up in a bind
Down in this pitch black hole we had everything pegged
We had time to waste, until everything changed
The canary never sang
The canary never sang
The canary never sang

A flawless re-entry
How long should one float out in space
Who wiped the smirk off Mona Lisa
Who wiped the floor with me and walked away
I saw my own entrails
I tried to scale the pearly gates
I took my things all out to sea side
And one by one I started chucking them in
As they all got carried away
The water turned the rocks to sand
And the things left in front of you make you take a knee and say
There's no such thing as cold
There's only far away from a heat source
One guess what we're headed for
A flawless re-entry
Fiery return from your escape
A failed attempt at being decent in everyone's eyes turned me into something nuisancing
We all get carried away
As the water turns rocks to sand
And the things left in front of you make you take a knee and say
There's no such thing as cold
There's only far away from a heat source
One guess what we're headed for
You will strong I know
You still believe, just not in me
You will stay strong though

Nothing At All
04:00

Your mom, she up and left
Your dad's standoffish
You had to feel like you were something so small
You've got an army of men, your little finger
Do we stand by and do nothing at all
Hey let's get far away
Standoff outlandish
Scream bloody murder on the steps of what's it called
There's an army in the way of middle fingers
Do we stand by and do nothing at all
What you hear, its all hearsay
Cast by a namesake - can do you no harm
Did you see the knife or who cut you open
Who left you hoping for nothing at all
We were onto something there
For just a second where
Whatever happened it was nothing at all
I can't help not to care
They're gonna stop and stare
We're making something out of nothing at all
What's all you hear is all just hearsay
Thrown by some namesake
Can do you no harm
Let's get you inside
Let's dust you off then
Its not too often you'll sing us your song
We were onto something there
For just a second where
Whatever happened it was nothing at all
I can't help not to care
They're gonna stop and stare
For just a second I was nothing at all
You were onto something there
If I could find a care
I'd find a reason for nothing at all
I can't help not to care
They're gonna stop and stare
We're making something out of nothing at all

Slapstick Tragedy
03:26
|

All together
It's all I want
Let's get you all cashed in
Cold hibernation
A quiet attention getter here
It took a quite traumatic observation
But now I
I'm thinking that I can't be looking down all the time
Wouldn't you agree
It's such a tragedy that it's a beautiful setting
Still gunning for us is blistering wind
Wrong to believe we're worth our own weight
Bones and heart
Required attention getter right here
Oh I
Now I'm thinking that I can't be looking down all the time
Wouldn't you agree
It's such a tragedy but it's a beautiful setting
Wouldn't you agree
Wouldn't you agree
The story's a tragedy but it's a beautiful setting
Wouldn't you agree

Even The Don'ts

What it is
Is something about her Sunday morning
Eyes on his
I love you but boy you're so appalling
What did I do
Should I say I love you too
We're leaving our hearts wide open
So the words can find our lips
To make them real
And it remains the same
Trunk of a tree
With branches changing
Placing no blame
On the roots that fed your empty soul
What could I do
I can't make you love me too
We're looking at the lives of old men
Living all the do's
And even the don'ts we live
Are we all living our life preparing a deathbed
Aren't we all a little sick of it all
C'mon say what you wanna say
Ooh la la
We've got nothing more to give
So tell the little children who come up proper
The world won't grow til everybody knows it's here
Stop time on the clock
When it comes the time to fly
We'll be up in the air
Under the blue
And the engine humming
When the music stops
We all drop
We lived with our hearts wide open
Living all the do's
And even the don'ts we've lived
And it remains the same
Trunk of a tree with branches changing
Placing no blame on the roots that fed your empty souls
What can I do
I can't wait 'round for love from you
We're leaving our hearts wide open
So the words can find our lips
To make them real
Are we all living a life preparing a deathbed
Aren't we all a little sick of it all
C'mon say what you wanna say
Ooh la la
We've got nothing more than this
Give honorable mention to followed fathers
The world won't go yet everybody knows it's here
Looking at the lives of old men
Living all the do's and
Even the dont's I live

Get Real
03:16
|

Talk is cheap
I love you so
One of these days you'll stoop down to me
You'll start seeing all I see
And then we'll perpetuate this thing eternally
I know how it feels
I know you've got a long ways to go
I know it sucks to get real
Just know you're never far away from home
A friend of mine comes to chat with me
Did I say something that was off putting
The elephant inside the room is only feeding fatter off of our taboo
I know it's so deeply rooted in you
Silence says there's a way out
I know it's so weakening
I do
A quiet surge then simple sounds
I know how it feels
I know you've got a long ways to go
I know it sucks to get real
Just know you're never far away from home

Intelligent Design Flaw

I may be stuck like this for eternity
Will there be anger inside you just as long
Is it the solace of sadness I keep falling for
Am I the sculptor of those things out to get me
I used to be fine with it
Somehow I had time for it
I just wanna sing myself familiar songs
So what if it's all the way to sleep
We can live our life for Just Because
So What has never bothered me
Is it the solace of sadness I keep falling for
I am the culprit
No defense could ever save me
I just assumed you'd be fine with it
Until I see us all running out of time
I just wanna sing myself familiar songs
So what if it's all the way to sleep
We can live if just for Just Because
So What has never bothered me

Never Had It So Good
04:00

Whose name do you hold by you
How're you gonna find the truth
You need a cold heart, cold hand
To hold onto
C'mon and name that face a different kind of the same
You know I stayed this side of the loon bin just like a good boy should
I never had it so good
No, I never had it so good
For whose sake do you hang onto
How're you gonna show them proof
In the back of the old church beat to death with a bible
It's that lack of the old search
We've gotta name our space
Go on and hang your head in shame and shout Revival
Go on and name my face
I wanna be the same
You know I stayed this side of the loon bin just like a good boy should
I never stood right next to the winner before
I never had it so good
I never had it so good
No, I never had it so good
You know I stayed this side of the loon bin just like a good boy should
I never stood so close during winter before
I never had it so good
I never had it so good
No, I never had it so good
All I know is nothing is for certain
That's the only thing I'm certain of
Try to think about, think about nothing
That's the only thing I'm thinking of
Try to think about, think about nothing
That's the only thing I'm thinking of
All I know is nothing is for certain
That's the only thing I'm certain of
Oh lord, bless this, thy hand-grenade
Whose name
Do you have on you
How're you gonna find the truth
Whose name
Do you have on you
How're you gonna find the truth
Whose name do you have on you
Whose name do you have on you

The four corners of my life and the universe both expanding
I thought today if that might say we're both searching for a change
Someday you'll learn to draw conclusions of your surroundings
Touché, hell either way I've got no room to talk
I'm just sayin
What are your limitations when you don't believe in boundaries
What's going on with the stars
Is to be free just running stray
I hope you learn how to draw some conclusions of your surroundings
Today you lead the way
There ain't no sense in me trying to soothsay
I don't draw from your same well
Contrary to some, look, I've upheld
They won't care whose names you know
What matters most, those few you hold
I don't fear your same hell
But yet anything I could be I did well
They don't care whose names you know
What matters most, those few you hold

Come On In
04:45
|

Through the veil there are ways to follow through
I'll let you know when I can raise my head
The hardest part for me was to find you
Don't knock come on in
If all the lonely hitchhikers stay true
They'll come a day where they can wash their hands
The hardest part ahead is behind you now
Don't knock
Come on in
It's a surprise to me that we don't learn nothing 'bout where we've been
The hardest part for me was to find you
Don't knock
Come on in
All the lonely hitchhikers sing
Yeah
The hardest part ahead is behind you now
Don't knock
Come on in
The hardest part for me is we don't learn nothing 'bout the things we've seen
The hardest part for me was to find you
Don't knock
Come on in
All the lonely hitchhikers sing
Yeah
The hardest part ahead is behind you
Don't knock
Come on in
The hardest part for me is we don't learn nothing 'bout things we've been
The hardest part for me was to find you
Don't knock
Come on in
All the lonely hitchhikers sing
Yeah
The hardest part ahead is behind you now
Don't knock
Come on in

The happiness factor was a laughingstock after
The last thing that you wanted was a heart that was growing cold
But you left without an answer and your reasons in question
The last thing that you saw before you started getting old
We stood by
And watched it all fall
Like umbrellas under water
I faced myself
Faced my null principle
To each their own
Now we bathe in the light of the sun
Naked as the day that we came
Yeah we're turning everything back to one
Bathe in the light of the sun
Nothing ever happens it just splinter in fractions
In true dramatic fashion it divided the heart and soul
But we left without an answer and we had to go catch her
The last thing that you are is now a story that was never told
We sat down and cried in both arms
Umbrellas under water
I faced myself
Faced my null principle
To each their own
Now we bathe in the light of the sun
Naked as the day that we came
We're turning everything back to one
Bathe in the light of the sun
Bathe in the light of the sun
Naked as the day that we came
We're turning everything back to one
Bathe in the light of the sun
