Flood the World

If I could crack my head so you could see inside
Then I would paint the room with all this wasted time
Where debate just would not come
And would it shatter you to pieces if I picked up that phone this time
So flood the world with love and maybe I won't try to hide
Cuz I could run the other way
Instead of counting on the way things used to be
Maybe it was me
And maybe I just couldnt find the line you drew
Connecting us
And maybe this time the world won't be the same

Everything is Beautiful

Everything is beautiful
Everything breaks my heart
Everything is a secret that's tearing me apart
Everything is the answer
Everything questions me
Everything is a shadow of who we used to be
Take one thing at a time, I would say
Is it so hard to be selfless when you never get what you want?
Everyone is different
Everyone stays the same
Everyone is just a face without a name
Every word I'm not singing
Every word I can't say
Every word that I swear I'll speak another day
Take one thing at a time, I would say if I could say
Is it so hard to be selfless when you never get what you want?

Our Symmetry

I'm chasing new sensory on a speeding train
You're a hot-aired balloon that's tethered by these veins
And I could say that I always knew it would be this way
But I just cant let myself lie again
So follow my lead and show me where to go
We've come all this way without having to beg or borrow
I'll sing with integrity all along the way
You'll paint your eyes with the fire of a science meant for play

Que Czar

Folding up days into a little ball
Put down the microphone
Hush, hush, we must remember our blue king
And when he'd finally given up on us
I couldn't help but wish he'd said goodbye
Was it not the least that he could do?
But hail to the king.......

Take the scenic view home
I have all the time in the world
But I have no time for this world
I'm nobody's fool but my own and I'm noone's fool
And I don't believe in destiny
But I do believe in purpose
Head straight, eyes down
We're pushing forward
Sugar tasting the sweetest
When it's hiding all the wreckage
When it's hiding in all the wreckage
I'm nobody's fool but my own and I'm noone's fool
But I dont believe in destiny
I do believe in purpose
Head straiight, eyes down
We're pushing forward
I'm not convinced by every word that I say
I shake the dice and wonder why things never go my way
Wishing that there was a less terrifying way to tell you to be brave

Axiom (sine qua non)

I'm still not saving the world
I'm barely saving myself
But i can run and fight and fly
When I have you by my side
Finding new routes and ways inside
No scenic-routed sidetrack reveries or shortcuts
It's starting to look so good
Starting to feel like home at last
Still finding new routes and ways inside
No scenic-routed sidetrack reveries
No shortcuts

Farrago
04:39
|

I'm just trying so hard to stay between the lines
Wondering where this road would take us
And what the signs were trying to teach us
But we were fast asleep
And now I feel adrift
All answers hidden or vanished before me
Did I sustain?
Could I sustain?
Mile markers, like heartbeats , are joining me in only one direction
Painfully sure and endlessly organizing my need to disappear
And now I feel adrift
All answers hidden or vanished before me
Did I sustain?
Could I sustain?
We were blind to the ways that we could not help but stray from
Some might just call them shortcuts
But is is just cut short?

Oblivion

If there is a soul to heal or break
I'll crush it with the words that I sing
And build it back stronger or at least still beautiful
As it passes through shadows most every single day
The road is rough with rowdy weather
(chipped paint and potholes)
Just leave the light on
I'll sharpen words from stone
And carve our places for shadow to hide behind
