Dust
02:59
|

|
Listening to another story
About the same old thing
Tell it again and again
And its history
Does it matter if we’re
Still moving forward or back
Time, it is a strange thing
You can never get it back
Listening to reasons
Hopes and dreams
While the dust is settling in the background
Watching the days just go by
Aligned in such a way
I don't even know if I
remember yesterday
Do I even sleep anymore
Do I know the reasons why
Trying to move forward
While a breath begets a sigh
Listening to reasons
Hopes and dreams
While the dust is swirling all around me

Give Up Right Now
03:18
|
|||
|
Lying down in a spinning room
What am I trying to prove?
Running late but I’ll be there soon
I’ve got nothing to do
Traffic jam on an empty road
There ain’t no gas in my car
I’d like to help you but I’m too close
So far away is not far
Life ain’t easy
When it only happens to you
No, life ain’t easy
Oh, oh no
Gotta get it right
Oh, oh no
Gotta give up right now

Comfort
03:59

Is this comfort good for
Me or for you
Is this breath I'm breathing
Or this life I'm living
For you
What is this wind that's blowing
this bird that's singing
this heart that's beating
Supposed to do
When I wake up in the morning
Will I go to bed at night
What is this train that's traveling
this cloth unraveling
this life I'm living
Trying to prove
What is this wind that's blowing
this bird that's singing
this heart that's beating
Supposed to do
When I sleep through the morning
When I'm awake at night
Are these dreams trying to tell me
Something
They just might…

I'll Gladly Not Sing
03:25
|
|||
|
I'm pushing I'm breaking in
When's it all gonna blow
I'm shrugging I'm questioning
Life's beautiful glow
Who said that it is all
Supposed to just work out
Alliances shifting
A world full of doubt
Somewhere and somehow
Everything is different
I can't ask questions
I'll just go home
Define that I'm begging please
Tell me what's happening
Red lines are blurry now
I'll gladly not sing

Come Back Around
04:08
|
|||
|
Towards, another place in time
Forward, where we can unwind
A gap or a bridge, it is undefined
A distinct and unflinching light
Can we walk for a while and work it out?
Along with our breath and our thoughts and our doubts
And through promise and drink and in flight, we come back around
We come back around, we come back around
Surrenderer, your time is not mine
Disbeliever, enduring the night
A peace or a burden, clandestine
War is the outcome of our fight

Never Know
02:46
|
|||
|
I never know what to do
When it's time to say what you say
When life's strange
And serious –
I cannot stay, it's worse when I go
Do what you will and
Be what you must
Shake all of the dust out and
make a fuss
But when you come back
Or when you go home –
Remember that you are
Never alone
Oh I deserved it
And we all lived through it
You're shoving your way to the white lights

Doing Time
03:57
|
|||
|
Do you ever really want to know the answer?
Do you ever really even ask the question?
Does the meaning ever explain it?
Are you ever left wanting more?
Time and time again
We end up where we begin
Cycles, they are circles
They’re always intersecting
Do you ever really want to hear the question?
Do you ever really even know the answer?
Does the meaning ever really explain it?
Are you ever left wanting more?
|

8. |
||||
|
A flash of brilliance
Set in soft stone
intentions are drawn out
From solid white bone
There's blood on the sidewalk
A thousand miles away
What some decisions are made for
Forever in a day
Well I guess I never really put up a fight
What I could've said to you
Is long overdue
But I'm out of tune
I fell down so far
I couldn't recall the day
Nothing left to die for
I must've lost my way
That time I choked up
Well at least I tried
To make sense of everything
And all the ways of life
|
||||
9. |
How Do You?
02:56
|
|||
|
I've been hearing you talking
And can't believe what you say
I've noticed certain inflections
When you put it that way
Two tongues in one mouth
How do you even speak at all
I think I know what you're doing
Never quite felt it so strong
Believing is nothing in life
When the facts are all wrong
|

Tell Me Why
05:22
|
|||
|
I stood there talking and talking
But no words meant anything at all
In service to horrors and discontents
Those words said everything
Sleeping off the fear of the light
Surface currents hint at nothing waiting in the depths
Kind hearts die
Tell me why
So many ways to say I’m sorry
No real way to simply forgive
And forget where it all started
Only another means to an end

Late Night Birds
04:04
|
|||
|
Oh you late night birds
Singing those songs but ain’t singing no words
Serenading that late night sky
Don’t need no reason why
Shrugging off the morning
Leaning towards the day
The rumble in the distance
Won’t understand anyways
Oh you late night birds
You and me, we’re right here
That never goes away
You give a little, you get a little
That never goes away
These machines they rumble and bang
That never goes away
Just remember, you and me, we’re here to stay
