Oh mama, tell 'em I am sorry
You know I just had to go
I mean these people all are crazy
But it's nothing personal
Oh with their eyes all like Medusas
Kisses as Judas'
I try to remain optimistic
But if feels like foolishness
They say the truth will set you free
I find sometimes so will lies
It's hard to see your enemies
when all your friends are in disguise
So mama tell 'em I am sorry
I just had to let 'em go
I mean these people all are crazy
But you know I love them so
Okay okay I'll pay back karma
One day when I find out what's really right and wrong
And not just somebody's opinion - Track Name: Lonely Summer
-
I'll prepare for a lonely summer
Everyone's gone, I start to wonder
Where have I been?
Where do I go?
This endless cycle is losing all control
There are ignored questions, unanswered follies
Seriously compromised but it's no one's fault, see?
How about a hand for the one in the back
for making sure to stay right on track
Repeat x1 - Track Name: Mythomania
-
Came and gone but the days were so long
Only somber songs from the lonesome ride home
In my dreams I found what in the days I couldn't see
One day I woke to still find it all with me
And I don't know what's been getting in the way
But I've come to find this discontent is sinful
And I made a mess of something really quite simple
Watching fields fold up while they were still growing
Put a penny in my pocket just to see if it would stay
Now I found I wished all my cents away
And I still look down at my empty pockets now and then
Now I know I won't wish for anything again
And I don't know what's been getting in the way
But I've come to find this discontent is sinful
And I made a mess of something really quite simple
Watching fields fold up while they were still growing
Mythomania
When will we learn?
x3 - Track Name: Decanter
-
"Put down your weapons of war!," cried Mr. Alexander
Raise your glass and pour from this decanter
Fuel my desire, spread it like wildfire
Eventually we'll both end up in this desolate mire
It's a matter of fermentation, degradation
A large price to pay for this instant sensation
One step off of the right track
Simple, selfish humans; we're bound to crack
Helpless victim you are not
It's not a battle you have sought
Let go, let flow
Past resentments are all you've got
My rock has hit bottom
Lucky for me I'd forgotten
I raise that decanter
like nothing's the matter
These causes connect to the root
As if I didn't know the truth - Track Name: Nightmares & Lullabies
-
If you could feel the way I feel
Every time you walk away
If I could only make you stay
Darling, I'd remind you of everything
Call me out right here, right now
Take your time, don't be too proud
When you think you're right you talk so loud
You'd see why there are pieces left of me
Why you can't seem to let them be
Whispering truths and screaming lies
Nightmares turn to lullabies
I'll still wait with an open mind
If you'd like, you are welcome inside
You'd see why there are pieces left of me
Why you can't seem to let them be - Track Name: Leviathan
-
Will time be kind to me x3
or malign my deeds?
Will you always love me x3
or is forever just a word?
Al-andalusia I see you in my dreams
Leviathan, violence won't find you peace
Enough of this selfishness x3
Think of others - Track Name: Cracks
-
I can love
I can open these cracks to a perfect fit for you
And just you to crawl inside
To coincide
On that Sunday when we fell
into each other's eyes and souls so well
Our dispositions interlocking
A genuine time but ever so fleeting
And this ocean, this vast piece of terrain
The only source of such deep restrain
But if I, if I had the reigns
I'd come to you if you still felt the same
When you walked away that night
I knew we'd probably never win the fight
But still I hold onto that inkling
that such a small time held such bigger meaning
And this ocean, this vast piece of terrain
The only source of such deep restrain
But if I, if I had the reigns
I'd come to you if you still felt the same
My dear come to me x4 - Track Name: So Tightly
-
I have nothing but the truth for you
I have nothing but the truth
I have nothing but love for you darling, darling
Nothing but you
No, no, no
It's so hard to say goodbye to you
It's so hard to say goodbye
No, no, no
It's so hard to say goodbye to you
It's so hard to say goodbye when you're holding on
So tightly to what you'd like to be, love.
x2 - Track Name: Heavy Soul
-
I'll love you from a distance
The path of least resistance
I'll easily dismiss it
as merely coincidence
I'll harden my heart
Refuse to fall apart
The urge to escape my protected environment
If the soul could be weighed
How heavy would yours be?
It's this pressure that keeps building
So relentless, so unyielding
Out of sight, out of mind
A luxury I know I'll find
Quite obsolete yet quite daunting
Deeply yearning but not worth wanting - Track Name: Blissful Blows
-
Stars aligning, residing, colliding
Substance is fleeting
Ambition stops beating
These soul ties are cut
Life's been far too depleting
Greens and blues
of luscious landscapes
The truth is where you feel safe to escape
The high and lows
are blissful blows
A disguised blessing too mindless to show
I'd rather be flowing than stagnant
A fixation, not just a fragment
Tell me how you deal with your demons
So we could
prepare for the ominous treason
The earth is our beating heart
Yet we proceed to tear it apart
Never a challenge to take it for granted
Soon you will reap the seeds you have planted
Coming, going
Reaping, sowing
Faster and bleaker
Here comes the reaper
