flat on my back/on the floor
broken like a bicycle underneath an SUV
all the hospitals are looking more hostels
but hey man, that's ok
we're all vagabonds anyway
pack my bags i'm on my way
on my way away from here..
highway july
pace american, all locked up inside...and every night, a journey to my bed - some peace and quiet in my head...
some rest some rest everything's a mess
cars are rushing past, planes are buzzing overhead...everywhere disaster, everybody falls apart inside...
some rest some rest some peace and quiet in my head some rest some rest everything's a mess
a history of western civilization
where there's a fire there's a light
and i watched you burn out bright
a bridge made of candles in the night
you do what you did and you'll get what you got
and now you're burning out bright in the dark
there's excitement in the progress
but when things are moving so fast
you can't tell if it's forwards or back
these were supposed to be the better days
but all the steps were just sideways
and each day we're getting closer to that edge
love was once a thing we gave
now it's just another thing that we make
and all that's left is a legacy of graves
where there's a fire there's a light..................
ember
ashes ashes we all fall down
i can see it in your eyes
that a fire once burned bright
inside your heart
and now there's nothing left
but a glowing coal
and i can see it in your eyes
you're growing cold
ashes ashes we all fall down
but some of us get up again
ashes ashes we all fall down
i hope you're getting up again
the trivial pursuit
good morning stars
it seems strange to see you out so early
but the nights are getting longer
and the days are getting colder
so i guess it's all just a part of the deal...
late for work again
the boss is a jerk (no surprises there)
traffic is a mess (everybody's always in a rush)
any reason to get angry (always late for something)
the moon's been high since the afternoon sky
the man likes to be on time
walking in the evening sun
got to get those groceries done
the air is warmer than i thought it'd be
but you can still smell autumn in the breeze
the moon's been high since the afternoon sky
the man likes to be on time
the moon's been high since the afternoon sky
where does he find the time?
sink into the couch with a glass of wine
the cool blue glow of prime time
i kiss my wife and fall asleep
good night world, good night stars
i'll see you in the morning
just a big misunderstanding
what was once the sound of chaos is now the sound of sleep and i told you once a hundred times how beautiful to me but i don't think that you'd understand the mess inside my head the mess inside of me what was once the sound of chaos is now the sound of sleep my head is overflowing with notes and melodies and i told you once a hundred times how beautiful to me but i don't think that you'd understand the mess inside my head the mess inside of me and i'm not as sad as you might think it just stumbles out of me the way i stumble to my bed when i've been out way too late.........
if the midwest was a lovesong
the way you're looking at me now
time is such a funny thing
i am just a sound but you are a symphony
long drives and sunny summer sunday afternoons
are better spent with you
walking awkwardly hand in hand and side by side
our tongues are tied
i am just a sound but you are a symphony
long drives and sunny summer sunday afternoons
are better spent with you
becoming aware of it for an instant
time is such a clever thief in times like these
looking up through the ribcage of a canyon
but this is not a canyon
and my ribs are growing tighter
with the smog of the summer
and the sky is filled with jazz
don't say a thing
don't say a word
your eyes are telling me
what i need to know
time is such a clever thief in times like these
sitting here with a hole in my chest
and a head full of spinning stars
and i'm wondering what happened
what the hell happened here?
don't say a thing.....
time is such a clumsy thief in times like these
so close your eyes and hold me close
as everything implodes
don't say a thing...
midnight
where midnight fades to midnight blue
i drive alone (wish i was with you)
country roads fade to city lights
and break my heart
if wisdom is proved by her children
i am just a fool
but darling i believe in you even if you don't
so take me by the hand
and lead me to the promised land
i believe in you
do i need to gouge my eyes out
just to see you one more time?
you know i'd give my right hand
just to be with you again
to never feel again
but darling i believe in you even if you don't
so take me by the hand
and lead me to the promised land
with no more tears or pain
i'd give my eyes, i'd give my hands
just to be with you again
if wisdom is proved by her children
i'm the king of fools
but i believe in you
shipwreck
fall asleep underneath cool sheets after the heat of the day and i wake up to the sound of the humming radio my head is hazy as the city air...
a million years and almost the same in miles the distance between you and i and i wish sometimes that you'd take me by the hand and you'd lead me away from here away from this place........
and still grace abounds (bless this mess)
a shipwreck in the sunrise i try to keep my head above the early morning sea of asphalt aluminum and glass i'm trying to move forward but i'm not getting anywhere......
and still grace abounds (bless this mess)
