The Sky Opened Up

The sky opened up
Showed me it was pure light on the other side
Like when I was outside of myself
You are part of what I have become
Like when it starts
A tiny white rose
Though beneath its dark
We are just like that rose
Can I be this light inside your mind
You're already bright as hell in mine

Desperado

Desperado
You are not
A golden soul a traveling savior
You are a sinner and a hypocrite
You'r ideals they are sick
You are not a feminist
If all we have is the hard times
And all we know is the back of our hands
You can expect to see things burning
Can not kill the yearning inside
What kind of life is this
And why is it that we label ourselves as anythings
What kind of hope is this
When all we can do is lie
When all we can do is lie to ourselves
When all we can do is lie

Taste of Water
03:30
|
|||
|
Strange autumn rose calling on the winter
The profit sits just inside
The gas station door
He's selling loose cigarettes
You saw that place then
You felt the high
Then how'd you lose grip of it
You said it was in everything
The taste of water is enough
So long Friday
Chose the feeling below
Don't you know you can't hold the world
It'll never be enough for you
Sitting at the empty table again
What's this new mourning
I saw it advertised
It's a sad nowhere
A question with no reply
Says you gotta teach your smile to work on its own
I'm sipping that water
I can taste it again
I am unfolding
Like that rose at the start of this song
Sitting at the table with the friend

The Smile
03:55
|
|||
|
The smile shows
Regardless
Just as the weeds seem to grow
purposely
Just cause the body says so I do
I heard the truth once
Yet it did not explain
The fire in this song
Is metaphorical
As the books burned
There was silence
Just cause the body says so I do
I heard the truth once
Yet it did not explain
Passing away
This is the total Annihilation
As the ego fades
Unity is left in its place
The smile shows
Regardless

Familiar Voice
04:34
|
|||
|
Don't say there's no mystery
There's always something going on
As the lights go down
We finally find out there's no questioning
Every new poem starts out as nothing
Then produces fruit
Nobody's right
I don't think man was meant to be made king
At the end of the rainbow stands a beggar
He's asking for your dreams
A familiar voice
Says look at that a mandolin
Playing all on its own
Don't say there's no mystery
There's always something going on

Try and Put Myself Down
02:34
|
|||
|
Try and put myself down
In a simple song
As I try and wipe myself clean
In a bathroom stall
Someplace down the highway
What does any of it mean
Doing the thing
Is it only cause your used to it
One things for sure I ain't gunna forget the rain
I'm the same as I was when I was a kid
Lord I thank you for this
It's a long road ahead and I don't see an end
What are ya doing man with the pen in your hand
It used to be you savior
Trying to rewrite the book of lies
That life will get you into it
One things for sure I ain't gunna forget the rain
I'm the same as I was when I was a kid
Lord I thank you for this
It's a long road ahead and I don't see an end
Try and put myself down
In a simple song

Tear Out the Page
02:48
|
|||
|
Delusion steals our friends away
Its hard to say it
But if you don't you'll never say goodbye
It's hard to praise this world made of hay
With a match in you hand
Out the door it's time to go
Tear out the page
I found your painting today
Is that a breast or an eye
Something from your mind?
Its hard to say
How things ended up this way
And then they did
Man ain't no proper judge
Hard not to blame
Won't wash the pain away
They say karma's a bitch
Because she always wins
It's hard to praise this world made of hay
With a match in your hand
Out the door it's time to go
Delusion steals our friends away
Its hard to say it
But if you don't you'll never say goodbye

How Hard Song
02:58
|
|||
|
You could disappear and I won't forget you
You could hideaway where I can't find you and I won't
This is why I think you're cool
You can be cruel to me
No matter how hard I try
I'm never going to say what I'm trying to say
No matter which stars align
I still might be stuck here this way
Tried to talk all about the truth inside myself
Come to find out it sat beside me
I used to say I like the way you spend your time
Now sometimes I wish that I had honored mine a little differently
No matter how hard I try
I'm never going to say what I'm trying to say
No matter which stars align
I still might be stuck here this way

Nobody Knows
03:47

Unending grace all the good things of my life
They all happened beneath this bullshit society
If you had the chance to live beneath the dirt
You'd see it was grubs eating the roots the whole time
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
It's a song you hear when you're a kid
Then ya find it out on the streets
Nobody knows that they are gunna be made
Can't you see its been a long time since
We did the right thing
As a whole
As a whole thing
I've said some dumb things in my day
Lord knows I've done some dumb shit that I ain't too proud of
Nobody knows more than the Lovers of my life
I apologize
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
It's a song you hear when you're a kid
Then ya find it out on the streets
Nobody knows that they are gunna be made
Can't you see its been a long time since
We did the right things
As a whole
As a whole thing
Come to find it's a hard gamble
Betting it all on some old six string
Lucky to have the time
Others can't find a day away from their whole lives
One big responsibility
Its a hole
A whole damn thing
Unending grace all the good things of my life
They all happened beneath this bullshit society
If you had the chance to live beneath the dirt
You'd see it was grubs eating the roots the whole time

Can't Believe
02:23
|
|||
|
Can't believe that I folded my clothes
I can't believe I left my keyboard exposed
Heaven why can't I decide
His world exists in why
I can't believe that I'm singing this tune
I can't believe the things that I might have put you through
Heaven why can't I decide
His world exists in why

Entertainer
03:52

|
I'd love to entertain you
But I can not be contained within you
I love to obey you
But I can not cater to you
Fa la la la laa la la la
Fa la la la laa la la la
Same old guy kicking his can
But life's like that
Same old boy crazy as hell
Finally somebody understands
The difference between
Being obscene and reminding me of spring
If that's what it takes to let you know
My island is covered in snow
I'd love to entertain you
But I can not be contained within you
I love to obey you
But I can not cater to you
Fa la la la laa la la la
Fa la la la laa la la la

Long Time / Long Line
01:55
|
|||
|
Spent a long time waiting on a long line
I felt how hard it was to be the same sign
I acted funny when I had a young mind
Wonder how long I'll be learning to be kind
Could have thought of that way back when
When all I thought of was the world sickening
Spent a long time trapped inside my own mind
I never did find a reason in a book
I thought I did once but the truth I overlooked
Look at how happy I am as I take the fisherman's hook
Could have thought of that way back then
Way before folks called themselves christians
Spent a long time waiting on a long line
I felt how hard it was to be the same sign
I acted funny when I had a young mind
Wonder how long I'll be learning to be kind
Wonder how long I'll be learning to be kind
Wonder how long I'll be
