Writer's Block
There's a girl on a ledge, she's got nowhere to turn,
It's like she lost her invitation to the party on earth,
Break her fall... (2x)
TOP
It's out of my hands, making your hands meet...
Designate my luck...
This power has no roots to guide, no role.
Designate my deal...
My will is crashing, synapses flashing slow.
Roll them high...
Monkey driven, call this living.
Designate a life...
TOP
The sirens scream wanton attention...
Evacuation... [2x]
Time to take leave all formal functions...
It's like you're waiting for a diamond shore to wash your way...
Time for...
There was a solemn man who watched his twilight disappear...
Time for...

I've used hammers made out of wood.
And wherever you've gone...and wherever we might go...
With heavy breath...awakened regrets...
And wherever you've gone...and wherever we might go...
And wherever you've gone...and wherever we might go...

Don't feel like home...he's a little out.
It's nothing as it seems. The little that he needs...it's home.
One uninvited chromosome...a blanket like the ozone.
It's nothing as it seems. All that he needs...it's home.
Saving up a sunny day...something maybe two-tone.
It's nothing as it seems. The little that he needs...it's home. TOP
There's a light when my baby's in my arms.
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
Byzantine is reflected in our pond.
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
It's not in my past to presume
There's a light when my baby's in my arms.
TOP
All in all, it's no one's fault.
The full moon is dead skin,
Bombs dropping down overhead, underground.
"Turn the jukebox up," he said,
The plates began to shift,
Bombs dropping down overhead, underground.
Feel like resonance of distance...
It's instilled to want to live. Bombs dropping down...
TOP
Oh he deals 'em off... off the top... ties 'em off.
Oh, he left it alone...drilled the pain...money to buy...
How he makes his getaway... [2x]
Oh, he chose a path... heavy the fall... quarter to four...
How he makes his getaway... [3x]

Have a drink, they're buying...
Pull the innocent from a crowd,
For every tool they lend us,
I pledge my grievance to the flag,
Break the innocent when they're proud.
Pledge a grievance to the flag.
(Have a, have a, drink, drink...
I wanna grieve while I recieve...
TOP
All my rivals will see what I have in store... my gun.
Your disciples are riddled with metaphors... well hung.
(Help me win a sandy claw... all the soul in everyone... )
How's our mother to damn these contributors... with mud?
TOP
Routine was the theme...
As the merging traffic passed,
He was okay, but wondering about wandering...
Mondays were made to fall...
Sometimes he hid in his radio...
On a line of his own... off the line... on the side...
When he reached the shore of his clip-on world...
Organized his few things...coat and keys...
Time to dream to his self...
Another man moved by sleight of hand.

Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette.
That's one more time around... the sun is going down.
Counts his money every morning...
Sorry is the fool who trades his love for hi-rise rent.
That's one more time around, and there is not a sound...
TOP
Behind her eyes there's curtains...
She knows their future's burning...
And though her mood is fine today,
Standing like a statue...
And though he's too big a man to say,
Drifting away... [6x]
1)
Breakerfall
'Cause all the love that she had was just wood that she burned.
Now her love is on fire, it's no one's concern.
She can blame the world, or prey 'til dawn,
But only love can break her fall.
Break her fall...
Now only love can break her fall... fall.
And she's standing outside hating everyone here.
She's her own disease, crying to her doll,
But only love can break her fall.
Break her fall...
Only love can break her fall...
Love, love, love can break her fall...
Now only love can break her fall...
Love, love can break her fall... fall
Love, love can break her fall...
Only love can break her...

God's Dice
It's stumbling and crumbling out of reach.
It's in the cards...
Your destiny, your sanity in tow...
Resignate...
Trust me, rusted minds refuse to go.
Unwillingness, it's meaningless
To walk away in vain.
Designate my fill...
Resignate...
Days like frame by frame, where do they go?
If I fight, forget it...
Can't I spend it after I go?
Throw them again...
All God's dice.
Too much thought, it's overwrought, a hole...
Minding yours, what's mine not yours
Will finish us off.
Designate a view...
Resignate my will...
My will, my will, I will...
Resignate my god.
3)
Evacuation
Time to take heed and change direction...
Time to take stock and make ommissions...
Time to plant seeds of reconstruction...
No time this time to feign reluctance...
Bets put aside, you're evil...let's crawl into your face...
A vision, vague or not, raising a frightful wake-you-up...
Evacuation... [6x]
(In the sand...)
Altered by a fallen eagle, a warning sign...
(In the sand...)
He sensed worry could be strength, with a plan he said...
Evacuation... [~12x]

Light Years
I have played games with pieces and rules.
I've deciphered tricks at the bar,
But now you're gone, I haven't figured out why.
I've come up with riddles, and jokes about war.
I've figured out numbers and what they're for.
I've understood feelings and I've understood words,
But how could you be taken away?
It don't seem fair...today just disappeared.
Your light's reflected now...reflected from afar...
We were but stones...your light made us stars.
Backpages and days alone that could have been spent
Together, but we were miles apart.
Every inch between us becomes light years now.
No time to be void or save up on life...
You got to spend it all.
It don't seem fair...you seem to like it here.
Your light's reflected now...reflected from afar...
We were but stones...your light made us stars.
It don't seem fair...the day just disappears.
Your light's reflected now...reflected from afar...
We were but stones...your light made us stars.
5)
Nothing As It Seems
And all these words elope...it's nothing like your poem.
Putting in, inputting in...don't feel like methadone.
A scratching voice, all alone...is nothing like your baritone.
The little that he sees is nothing. He concedes...it's home.
The little that he frees is nothing, he believes...
Anything of his own...a chip off the cornerstone.
Who's kidding? Rainy day...a one way ticket headstone.
Occupations overthrown...a whisper through a megaphone...
The little that he sees is nothing. He concedes...it's home.
And all that he frees...a little bittersweet...it's home.
It's nothing as it seems. The little that you see...it's home.
6)
Thin Air
There's a light when the window shades are drawn.
Hesitate when I feel I may do harm to her.
Wash it off, 'cause this feeling we can share.
There's a cloud, but the water remains calm.
Reaching in, the sun's fingers clutch the dawn to pass.
Even out, it's a precious thing to bear.
Yes I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
Love can keep on moving in both directions.
How to he happy and true
Is a quest we're taking on together.
Taking on, on , on, on, on...
Taking on, on , on, on...
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air. [3x]
Yes I know she's reached my heart.
7)
Insignificance
Excuses turn to carbon walls.
Blame it all on chemical intercourse.
The swallowed seeds of arrogance
Breeding in the thoughts of ten
Thousand fools that fight irrelevance.
The one down here's wearing thin,
So set up the ten pins
As the human tide rolls in
Like a ball that's spinning...
It's instilled to want to live. The bombs dropping down...
Please forgive our home town in our insignificance.
Dancing in irreverance.
"Play C3...let the song protest."
Perfect lefts come rolling in.
I was alone and far away, hey...
When I heard the band start playin'.
On the lip...late take off.
It's instilled to want to live. The bombs dropping down...
Please forgive our own time in our insignificance.
In the blood...the iron lies...
Please forgive our own time in our insignificance.
Oh, in our insignificance....
8)
Of The Girl
Fills it up with his past...gets carried away.
Oh, half his life a hand me down...wasted away...
Oh, he fills it up with the love of a girl.
Fills his mind with the thought of a girl...
Getaway...
9)
Grievance
Bottom of bottle of denial.
Big guy, big eye, watching me...
Have to wonder what it sees.
Progress laced with ramifications.
Freedom's big plunge...
Raise the stakes then bring 'em down...
If they fail to obey...if they fail to obey.
A loss of independence.
'Cause you don't give blood then take it back again.
We're all deserving something more.
Progress... taste it... invest it all...
Champagne breakfast for everyone.
Raise the stakes then bring 'em down.
If they fail to obey...if they fail to obey.
Aw, come on, don't give blood then take it back again.
Oh, we're all deserving something more.
Have a, have a, drink, drink...)
I wanna take everyone I feed...
I wanna ride with 'em...I wanna hide...
I wanna run to the sea...
I want life....to be...I just wanna be...
I will feel alive as long as I am free.
10)
Rival
I've been harboring fleets in this resevoir... red sun.
And this nation's about to explode.
Better pony up and bring both your barrelfulls... not one.
As we release this unspeakable toll.
How will the man who made chemicals difficult shed blood?
How's our father supposed to be told?
11)
Sleight of Hand
He'd wake up and wash and pour himself in uniform...
Something he hadn't imagined being....
He found himself staring down at his own hands...
Not remembering the change...
Not recalling the plan... was it?
Was it age? By consequence?
Or was he moved by sleight of hand?
Lost on a road he knew by heart...
It's like a book he read in his sleep...
Endlessly...
Watching others pull into their homes...
While he was drifting...
Bye the by... as dirt turned to sand...
As if moved by sleight of hand.
He resurfaced to the norm...
Any new realizations would have to wait
'Til he had more time... more time...
Waves goodbye to himself...
I'll see you on the other side...
12)
Soon Forget
Thinks he'll get the girl, he'll only get the mechanic.
What's missing? He's living a day he'll soon forget.
The moon is out, but he's drunk and shouting,
Putting people down. He's pissing...
He's living a day he'll soon forget.
The only thing that keeps him horny.
Locked in a giant house, that's alarming.
The townsfolk, they all laugh.
Seems the more you make equals the loneliness you get.
And it's fitting... he's barely living a day he'll soon forget.
He's lying dead, clutching Benjamins... never put the money down.
He's stiffening... we're all whistling...
A man we'll soon forget.
13)
Parting Ways
And they've been closed to hide the flames... remains.
But she can smile just the same... same.
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways.
A chin of stone, a heart of clay... hey.
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways.
