Riverwater 02:44
lyrics
buy track
All that I am washes away in the water And all I've ever been splashes in the waves In a flash they've gone away I'll be leaving too, but I'd rather stay With these memories of what I was All I've ever done, the good things and all the bad ones Are balanced in my hands, and I'm tipping end to end And tomorrow is not a friend I am more alone than I have ever been Will I get a chance to try again? I would live to die again I am just a man wading into a river And I don't understand why the light can make me shiver And an ending that I sought Is only written by what my hands have wrought In this numinous world all's for naught I could lie, but I'd get caught

Can We Be Friends 03:25
lyrics
buy track
I know that you don't owe me But I'm really glad that you came I was feeling kind of lonely Do you feel the same? Do you feel the same? There's moonlight on your body My hands were there before Is this the last time that you'll see me Will there be more? Will there be more? This fault line lets us levitate This fissure shakes tectonic plates This earth quakes trepidation out I don't know how to say no now No, now No, now A glistening dawn, the evening's over Wrapped together clasping hands I feel your heart beat under covers Can we be friends? Can we be friends?

For Whatever Reason 03:27
lyrics
buy track
For whatever reason They're gonna draw a line For whatever reason They'll watch it all the time The children were in their beds But they can't turn off their heads Cause it's hard to listen to the bombs that fall And sleep at the same time For whatever reason They're gonna build a wall For whatever reason They'll make it very tall The children were digging graves They're being very brave Cause it's hard to dig down a dirty ditch To bury the folks you know For whatever reason They're gonna pray today For whatever reason They're gonna go away The children covered their eyes There was a big bright blinding light That's when all the people disintegrate Everybody dies

Oh Johnny 02:59
lyrics
buy track
Oh Johnny, how beautiful The songs of old Yes Kelly, how wonderful They're answering our call Will they divine a truth we'll never find? Will they help define? Oh Johnny, they understand Why we are here Yes Kelly, at my command Gaze into the black mirror Record it all, the sigil sign and call And the towers tall Don't resist us, let us in Don't resist us, we'll win We'll win Don't resist us, don't resist us Cause we'll win The tournament says we're wrong But they've been wrong before A millennium we've been around And we're getting more today Oh Johnny, how magical The angel voice Yes Kelly, though I fear we Have made a terrible choice For even Hell is ruled by an angel It's just hard to tell

Jane The Zombie 02:52
lyrics
buy track
Jane, she ain't been the same Not since she lost her head To the living dead I, I used to be her guy But that was way back when Now she's one of them She used to be my sweet thing No doubt in my mind But now she's a monster, a zombie Feeding on her own kind Oh I wonder why Maybe I should die To be with Jane Jane, such a simple name Could be almost any girl In this crazy world We were together when she Showed me her wound that night A zombie bite Maybe they will find a cure Or maybe they never will and we're doomed for sure Maybe we can start anew Or maybe we never will and this world is through

Funneled Light 03:25
lyrics
buy track
A paint-like smear of cars Policeman on the right If I turn left, the way is long Under a gun of time The traffic light's a clock If it ticks to green, then go on If it ticks to yellow, abandon caution We do dread red Oh, where's a day go? A tunnel of funneled light Oh, and a night slow A dimension of sound and sight Oh, in a year or so Everything will be different then Oh, where will I go? Somewhere that I've never been The fever we posses Our only goal, success Measured by our cars exceeding The others in our lane We'll never be the same As we race against a fleeting Life, we chase down a dream of freedom speeding A stop sign ahead

Let's Get Together 03:26
lyrics
buy track
Everyone is getting sick Everyone is getting thick Now as we grow old Everyone is very poor Everyone is so unsure Should we do as we're told, now? Talk to me, it's alright Talk to me, we got all night, yeah Talk to me, everything is fine Let's get together and have a good time Everyone that I've known for long Is feeling that something is wrong And no way to go back And everyone that I call a friend Is feeling that we're near an end Bow and fade to black, now Talk to me, it's alright Talk to me, we got all night, yeah Talk to me, everything is fine Let's get together and have a good time It's all great Let's get together and stay up late It's all well Let's get together a story to tell It's all good Let's get together just like we should Everyone that I know Is feeling there's no place to go No way to proceed Everyone that I see Is feeling just the same as me And no one's not in need, now

Salmon 02:26
lyrics
buy track
If I was a salmon in your stream Would you be happy if you caught me? Or would you pull your fish hooks out? Throw me back to look for trout Sometimes I don't know If I was a ship that ran ashore Would you have faith and wait onboard? Or would you abandon ship instead? Leave me sinking on the sea bed Sometimes I don't know If I was a drop of ocean blue Would you wanna be blue too? Or would you rather be sea green? Leave me alone to do your own thing Sometimes I don't know

Bells Will Be Ringing 02:49
lyrics
buy track
Bells will be ringing The time now for singing is coming true They're listening in But there's nothing they can do My name is good, the disarray does as it should My name is right, the misery ends by tonight Or is just a riddle then? Bells will be ringing The time now for singing is drawing near They're hearing us out Cause they know what they fear My name is true, memorials will honor you My name is all, united now, let's tear the wall down Or is just a riddle then? Am I in a riddle inside a riddle stuck again? Just dial 987 Bells will be ringing The time now for singing is happening The old and the young And everyone in between My name is peace, I'll arrive some day, at least My name is love, there's nothing else that we're made of Or is it just a riddle then?

Lately At Night 02:55
lyrics
buy track
Lately at night I feel fallen, hollow And times when the brightness comes Are few and far between but there you are And I'm running to return to you Lately at night I drift through the shifting Scattered dream scenes that it seems I've seen and heard the phonemes and the words And their meaning too Return to you Yes they're meaning to Return to you Now the shadows cast no light What went right? What went right? Now the shadows have grown long What went wrong? What went wrong? What went wrong? What went wrong? Lately at night The screaming believers Drown out the acolytes, and all I write Are echoes of the lies That they're telling to Return to you Yes they're telling to Return to you

Heartbreak Hits Me Again 02:32
lyrics
buy track
I'll tell everyone I'll never see you again At least I will pretend I'll tell everyone I'll never hold you close But that's what I want the most Heartbreak hits me again And then I know Heart ache hits me again And then I'm sure that I know I'll tell everyone That I'm happy now But I will not tell them how, oh no no no I'll tell everyone That I feel all right And I'll see you tonight

Piccolo 03:52
lyrics
buy track
I saw you with a piccolo Writing your name at The bottom of a letter To the editor of a magazine To which you wished to complain to Do you feel better, do you feel better? Or do you feel like me? I saw you with a book of nouns and verbs And a red ink pen You were crossing off misspellings Red ink on inaccuracies You'll ask them for a retraction Hope you're feeling better, hope you're feeling better Baby better than me I heard the word you said was wrong You said you're here when you meant you're gone You show me a door You give me a key You say nothing more And then you leave me be The key never fits It's always the same My dream limits hit And I awake again Hope you're feeling better Hope you're feeling better than I ever ever have Before Cause everybody here Will someday disappear And people in the future Won't even know who we were The oldest person you know Was younger than you, long ago And the youngest children around Will end up dust under ground God, yes they will
