Lyrics
Careful, Careful:
yeah yeah yeah
Am I indifferent or dead? I feel the presence of pain again
A bit of pushing and pulling I didn't feel the unborn brewing.
My brow is wishing and swishing, been trying to get myself out of it
Got my fingers crossed by next year heads will roll
Today we slave for nothing
We'll turn our backs on family, and friends,
for the sake of a demon babe, until the ambiance comes to an end.
On top of one another we turn our backs on family and friends for
the sake of a demon babe till the ambience comes to an end
I've got time to run inside the mind of a kill again
I got you, got me, can't get inside it's motive
See I been itching and kicking been trying to pry myself into it
today we sleep , by next week heads will roll
Today we slave for nothing
We'll turn our backs on family, and friends,
for the sake of a demon babe, until the ambiance comes to an end.
On top of one another we turn our backs on family and friends for
the sake of a demon babe till the ambience comes to an end
We don't deal in
revolutions anymore
Tonight our eyes are on road
We don't deal in revolutions anymore
Tonight our eyes are on road
Motor On:
She takes her clothes
off and puts on her robe,
in a back lit apartment straight down
the street from my home.
sad gods shed some light on my face
we
can't look back on the time that we wasted
See to me, it was
hard
But I guess that don't make me more
Than who we are
We
got we got the motor on
And a picture of the memories we lost
An
escape trip, chained to get my heart back to the way it was before I
came.
Two shadows dance next to the fire in the woods
In a
back lit distraction far from the place I once stood
A fine line
called a smile on my face,
Say we can't look back on the time
See
to me, it was hard
But I guess that don't make me more
Than Who
we are
My hands, my shoes, my skin, my fingers bleeding, wits
and patience thin
An escape trip chained to get my heart back to
the way it was before I......
We lay, on the valley called my
own,
til we fell down
Turn to Red:
Whatchyou looking
at, with your arms spread out to the world
Did you finally meet
your brood embodied in yourself
Whatchyou staring at, I guess that
makes you the girl
That can wean me off the bitterness I
breathe
As this day turns over
I've picked my corner
And
I'll pull up put the headlights on you
Burn your eyes
It turns
me into red
See I got this brain and a body working
Motion let
me see it turn
Burn your eyes
It turns me into red
Whatchyou
looking at, my momma said it the best.
"Can you close the
door behind you don't let sister's in."
Whatchyou staring at,
see I guess that makes it a world
that can clean me up than kick
me where I lay
I felt your motive hit the floor
I won't
kneel down feel helpless anymore
I can't find my way back home
Can
you tell?
Shotgun ( Or Like a Shot) which ever you guys prefer, I prefer Like a shot
The shotgun rang out across the street from home
Yet I still can't feel the fear beside me, I don't care at all
Can I crack my code and drive it home to you
If I still can't feel at all
Let's say we kill our young blood then we run
Still our knuckles bleed but we are one
The plane crashed down across the street from school
Still the kids can't lift their pens from paper, they don't care at all
until they met their match that one day morning, fate blew through it all
And I still can't feel at all
Let's say we kill our young blood then we run
Still our knuckles bleed but we are one
I say we're the people waging the war
I say can we get everybody out of here before we're called
I say we're the people waging the war
I say can we get every body out of here before we fall
Let's say we kill our young blood then we run
Still our knuckles bleed but we are one
Side of The Road
We've seen days turn august, days turn cold
We've seen our fathers growing old to know it doesn't last that long
Song and story, hand to hand, we've left our footprints in the sand to dry
All that we've left behind
If I could lay dead on the side of the road
From my body a story is told, before its end, before we get to old
My body bleeds on the sidewalk today
Don't let the bullet take the impulse away, before it ends or before we get to old.
See we've got no money, foiled plans, this age our breed, nowhere to stand
No fight, too wrong to make this right
Wish I could reach out to the sun and see the bright light breathe back down on me
to burn, my eyes and now I've learned
If I could lay dead on the side of the road
From my body a story is told, before its end, before we get to old
My body bleeds on the sidewalk today
Don't let the bullet take the impulse away, before it ends or before we get to old.
Maybe some time on my own
Take a thing I've done lately and try to better the world
I hope you trust me when you're feeling betrayed
As a thief you can't make me
We've all made that mistake
If I could lay dead on the side of the road
From my body a story is told, before its end, before we get to old
My body bleeds on the sidewalk today
Don't let the bullet take the impulse away, before it ends or before we get to old.
Wonderful (Now That You're Gone)
Wake me up young man
Wake me up tomorrow
Wake me up so I can feel her tear drops on my arm
Wake up with no sound, the tired room is hollow
Waking up to nothingness can surely mean no harm
Lay me down tonight, Lay me down tomorrow
Lay me down so I can feel the comfort dust my bones
Tonight you're wrong, I feel so wonderful now that you're gone
It makes me feel alright, I feel so comfortable now that I'm right
I been down that road, time I take the highway
Time I put this love on ice take to the streets and roam
Among the stray that night
Among the drunk and shallow
Among the scent of emptiness that makes me feel at home
Tonight you're wrong, I feel so wonderful now that you're gone
It makes me feel alright, I feel so comfortable now that I'm right
See these faces, see these hands they built a home
Tonight I'm in a better world
See these faces, see these hands they built a home
Tonight you're wrong
Tonight you're wrong, I feel so wonderful now that you're gone
It makes me feel alright, I feel so comfortable now that I'm right
Drive Rummy
Drive:
It's always drunk
love, or the last hour of play.
That's when our
words catch fire.
Then into the back
of your car we lay down.
I'm waiting, I'm
always waiting for it.
Pick me up, put me
on your wings, and buzz me to red brick.
This is the carpet
I used to ride on.
So breathe in the
ocean for me tonight.
Its lit up and ready
for you
I'll give you one
more breath to get things right.
I've been wishing,
waiting WAY TOO long,
For the good to put
out this fire,
It's appalling how
it keeps pushing itself along
Procrastinating, I
am always waiting for it.
Pick me up, put me
on your wings, and buzz me to red brick
I'll shit kick the
carpet I used to ride on.
I'm waiting for you
They say and they
say they'll get out of it
Apathy wall to wall,
will a manifestation call, and elude their nightmares.
Chameleon:
I'm kind of tied up,
I guess I'll make my mind up while I'm on my way.
It's hard to be
somebody else that's why I'm focusing on me.
The day's of beast's
and burdens, I broke and left them buried in the sand.
It's hard to move
along, but it's the best idea I ever had.
I'm a chameleon,
un-slightly, grimy, but causes no dismay.
A false alarm cries
out and it leaves me lying on my back again.
If green's my
favourite colour, I'll tie a leaf around my neck don't call me gray.
Who knows what the
future holds? Who cares I'll find out anyway.
If I ever find that
beast that burned me, then I'll finally lay my head to rest.
When it comes to
life I'm second best.
Kickapoo Joy
Juice:
Each time I take a
step out side, I breathe the air it keeps me alive
And I Know it will
be there.
Each time I take a
look up high, I see the sun it keeps me alive
And I know it will
be there
But I'm sorting
through problems that I wont be solving
And I want to know
who will be solving them.
Because these are
the problems the kids won't be solving
I'm sorry but we're
not quite ready yet.
I've been waiting to
itch my sorrow, sick of sipping the booze I've borrowed
Tired of feeling
like shit tomorrow, Let me on my way
I've been getting my
days all mixed up, my body hates me, my minds been made up
I'm ready point me
in any direction send me on my way.
Each time I take a
look inside, I get excited I feel so high
I know it's crazy
Each time I take a
look up high, I see the ceiling separating the sky
And I know that I'm
lucky.
The Coroner:
I was beat, broke
and on the side of the road, I was troubled
I watched my galaxy
turn into a world.
I've got my space
suit with no juice to push me around.
Cross legged
throwing sticks in the spokes
I know nobody gets
me I cant laugh at your jokes.
Will my heart keep
beating? Is the coroner messing around?
I feel the road
beneath me, anger left these streets uneasy.
So I said "Baby,
I've been down lately,
and one day maybe we
could turn on that light again."
With arms open "
I'm not walking you home"
But I'm impressed
with the momentum and the heart that you've shown.
On my way to find a
higher place to get grounded.
I've been smooth
stepping with my lips on a smoke
A stain on my pants
now for over a month.
I'm a blasphemic ,
researching guy who ain't messing around.
I'm just a stones
throw from your heart
No such thing as
magic numbers or hoax, our lives will grow apart
I see the kindness
in her heart
Once again I have
exposed you, don't repeat the things I've shown you.
The River:
I said " It's
just love, It's not a book that you wrote."
You could pull me
under but my body would float.
I turned around and
gave the look that you loathe
Now I'm watching the
river as it over flows.
Compare intentions,
to the times that we had
Some were good but
the majority bad
I turned around and
said " Like you didn't know"
Now I'm watching the
river as it over flows.
It flows over and
over
So start treading
water
Tell you mothers and
daughters to go board a boat
Over and over
So start treading
water
Because we're
watching the river as it over flows.
I think about tick
tock, oh my god how the time goes so slow
And I said "sugar
are you ready, Its time for you to go."
She smiled and gave
the look that I've come to know
And now I'm watching
the river as it over flows.
Compare vocation to
the times that we had
Some are good but
the majority bad
I turned around and
said " like you didn't know"
Now I'm watching the
river as it over flows
I guess it's hard to
know why anyone's in here
The days and nights
are long, and we know there is no end
And we see nearly
anything from here.
Intimation:
Her beauty brown
eyes ringed with green as we awkwardly stared at each other without
good reason.
We couldn't find a
better way to express our compassion yet.
Night after night we
contrived all new plights or a specter just might, reach out and grab
our souls.
And let the night
put together what was meant to be together.
Let the night put
together what was meant to be together for me
Because it's my
fantasy baby
Let me make up to
you, let me make love to you, let me do everything I want to do to
you.
I've been waiting
for centuries, decades, years, months, days, hours, and minutes too.
Let me make up to
you, let me make love to you, let me be the one to reach out and grab
your soul.
And let the night
put together what was meant to be together.
This obligation, is
creating separation
My body hates me, I
wish this could escape me
My destination is in
opposite directions, ,I'm sick of my peers constantly asking
questions.
We're quick to
destroy all that's around us, so lucky to have all that surrounds us
My destinations in
opposite directions,
Who comes who's
willing
Wake up, stand up
ignite the world
We hold love in our
souls.
Sign Says:
Time says you'll be
making your way back home before you know it so lets go
Sign says only two
hundred and thirty kilometers to go.
And your still
talking to me like an animal
That's got the gum
disease, rabies and flea's I won't bite you
Slow down this
world's already turning fast enough
It seems every time
that I'm pleased I have this little disease, just feeding on me
I geuss that this
reminds me
That life is just
too damn short to dick around, but I just cant help myself
And your still shit
talking, on the peak of a roof shoddy!
I wish I knew my own
way around the world so I could walk it
In the deepest of
holes, you chewed the meat off of my bones,
And now I'm left
here with you for good.
Life Jackets:
I swam across, and
took the lifeboat back to the beach of reassurance
You know,
reassurance was never buoyant beneath my feet before
They let us out,
using words, and verbs, but meaning we don't know about
Step up to the edge
of a building, I'll help you scream it loud
Now I wish there was
a day
That sets our minds
at ease and enemies at bay.
A new tomorrow finds
the floor again
I know it departs,
but don't know where it begins
Some itch or break
to find love
Turn suicidal
maniacs when push comes to shove
I've got my
lifejackets here keeping me up
I've got a plan for
you, we're keeping you alive.
It put a look on
your face and it just goes to show
That new beginnings,
brought by chance or deeper meaning
Go farther than
anything you've planned.
I'll remember
rock bottom:
I'd walk many miles
if my life said it'd meet me halfway
At least we'd know
we're getting somewhere.
But all the games
it's playing, oh the games its playing with my head.
I'd walk many miles
for a woman who'd treat me with respect
Then dignity would
flow in the air, but all the games they're playing
Oh the games they're
playing
So I'll take these
shattered wings
And build two better
things
You know, it used to
rain.
You know, these
wings they're driving me insane
I put you ahead of
truth, but my roots they outgrew you
Then threw a sheet
to shade you from the mess that you made.
Oh the mess you
made, oh the mess you made with your family.
You with drew your
weapon, but the worlds consumed you
Then you felt the
wrath of burden breaking your mind
And I cant stop
thinking about where this began
So we'll take these
shattered wings
And we'll build two
better things
You know it used to
rain
So I'll take these
things I hate
And find out how
they operate,
You know it used to
rain
You know these wings
they're driving me insane.
Anything
Without Me
So we're off
somewhere,
Lets take the world
we've shared and cut it into pieces that we can mend
So we're getting
there
And the lives we
shared together won't be forgotten
But could karma cut
my wrists
Glory clench it's
fist, because of every hit I miss
So we're getting
there
And the lives we
shared together won't be forgotten
That gives me one
good reason for the stain I'm leaving in your room somewhere
Lets take the world
we've shared and cut it into pieces that we can mend.
So I saw you,
The look in your
eyes was like diamonds in the ocean air
But could karma cut
my wrists
Glory clench it's
fist, because of every hit I miss
I can't be fooled, I
can't be the same way as I was
I hope she don't
mean anything without me
That gives me one
good reason for the stain I'm leaving in your room somewhere
Lets take the world
we've shared and cut it into pieces that we can mend.
That gives me one
good reason for the stain I'm leaving in your room somewhere
Lets take the world
we've shared, cut it up Karma, this time around.
A
Pre-conceived Notion From An Absent Mind:(secret track)
Sitting behind
crooked eyes and steam
Waiting for a
fantasy to whisk this life away
Everything's just
insane.
I've been waiting
for my destiny, to unravel in front of me
The dreams I'll
throw away
Everything's just
insane
It's not what I'm
asking for
Which one of us
would suffer more.
It's not what I'm
asking for
Which one of us
would suffer more.
A picture of me
green scenery, the silhouette that stands beside me
Who's this meant to
be?
This picture needs
to fade into a different place, or time
Never mind new
feelings that I'm feeling deep inside
Everything's just
insane
It's not what I'm
asking for
Which one of us
would suffer more.
It's not what I'm
asking for
Which one of us
would suffer more.
