..."World Of Noise" Lyrics...

01. Your Genius Hands
I have seen your shake and I know what it cost you
I have heard your words now I am big on your noise
My eyes aren't big enough because I can't see your hands
I can't see what you hold I am growing now as I watch you fade
Now I know what you know and I'll break the chains you have made
These chains you've made for me
I will pull you down
I know I'll fail in style
I long to touch your genius hands

02. Sick and Tired
I break every day stressed out in every kind of way
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired
All I need and crave is a loud life with the power to fade
I am living because I keep it all inside
Love won't work for me I want women who are out of my reach
All I need for sure is a big love with the power to make more
I am living because I keep it all inside
I know I'm close to the fall
I know I'm dangerous
I'm afraid I'm going down
I blame my family, their damage is living in me
I am sick inside and tired of my life
All I need I swear is to go out with the power of a nightmare
I am living because I keep it all inside
I know I'm close to the fall I know I'm dangerous
I know I'm not going down alone

03. The Laughing World
Right now day one I fall hard when I fall
I always fall on you
Face first head down eyes closed arms out to break my fall
We fall down like a world of noise
We get lost inside the length of our own time
And the laughing world will never forget that it's when you jam that I jet
I see I want I reach I fail to hold the things that I need
I turn to reach for you I want to touch our life before it fades like a burning car in the sun
We flame for the all in plain view
And the laughing world will never forget that it's when you jam that I jet

04. Fire Maple Song
Turn away from the pain you don't want
Turning down to avoid them when they call
Strange words I heard a long long time ago
I wish I could go back to a summer time I knew more than twenty years ago
Can't lay beneath the sheets we lie underneath the maple tree
Now I can't smile
Lying in the grass with the wind around us as we smile and talk
Listen to your Grandma sing those country songs
She'd tell us how the maple turns to fire every four years
We'd sit in the grass all summer just to watch the autumn come around
I can't smile now
I live alone and you're so far away
I call you once a year just around the holiday
I still see you in the night lying above me in the grass
I can't smile
Turn away from the pain you don't want
Turning down to avoid them when they call
I can't believe this letter that says you died
I think I'm gonna go back to the old house in North Carolina and lay in the backyard
Get drunk and let the leaves just bury me
Bury me
I can't smile
