Stupid Game

So much for flying
I’ve been dying
I’ve been waiting here
I’ve been staying
Away from saying
What you need to hear
This is not a rehearsal
It’s a reversal
Of everything you could never say
Now you have to play this Stupid Game
Last leave to leave
the first to hide waiting on the weather
This Stupid Game its hurts my pride
Something that you treasure
Why so bitter
You confident quitter
You used to be so cool & numb
Now you fenced in
House & Garden waiting for the end to come
Oh the expectations
No relation
To what happen everyday
Now you have to play this Stupid Game
Yeah I’ll take my medicine
You know the tricks you know how to win
Yeah i’ll take my medicine
Just show me how to live
You got the magic
You got the touch
Do I come off as a little much
You have the magic
You have the feel
Just go for the kill

Heaven or Hyannis

Slippery moments jump at me like fish from a pond
They catch the sun for one second and slip back again
Slippery words can fail you even as they line your nets
You can only do your level best in a teacup tempest
What have I lost
What have I lost
Know who to run from
Nowhere to come from
What have I lost
Know who to run to
Know who to run from
What have I lost
How did I end up in this room and what did I come for
Used to laugh at my poor memory
Not funny anymore
Slippery moments slide away like fish down a stream
I try to catch them and they slip away again
What have I lost
What have I lost
Nowhere to run from
Nowhere I come from
What have I lost
Know who to run toward
Know who to run from
What have I lost
What have I lost
What have I lost

Helpful Visions
03:31
|

I got a glimpse
At twilight time
Your losing touch
It changed my mind
The moon was cold
The air was crisp
A pact in blood
You bit your lip
Your helpful visions for an honest man
I thought what I saw was real
You visit me every night awake
Unanswered thoughts revealed
My speechless friends
Heroic thoughts
Such excellence
I can’t turn it off
Heart strings they swell
A lonely wave
My sorry youth
For you to wade

Here’s the how now tell me the why
Born to die in between we laugh & cry
If you’re awake you’ll soon be asleep
Make it all matter leave your heart on your sleeve
Tell me your reasons for then and the now
Our futures receding as we take our last bow
So light all your hopes in the flames of concern
Live like you mean it & let your love burn
My heart is full
No regrets of if I should
This love ain’t dead
Like a thought left unsaid
I know the thunder can bring troubled rain
As that lucky old sun rolls in heaven all day
Slowly our fortunes they turn & they change
The dread & the darkness they quietly fade
Powerful beauty in times of remorse
It’s in the trees wild natures a force
It’s true we can suffer and feel overrun
But then there’s those feelings the warmth of the sun

World On Edge
04:04
|

|
Panic in San Francisco
Chaos in Santa Fe
Freaking in San Diego
A crisis in sad LA
Paranoia here in Boston
Alarmed in Buffalo
Crazy in Kansas City
Horror in Ohio
World’s on Edge
It’s about to Blow
World’s on Edge
It’s About to Explode
Whipped up in West Virginia
Kicked in Kalamazoo
Tasered in Tallahassee
Beaten in Baton Rouge
Rattled and riled in Richmond
Choked out in Saint Paul
Shaken in Salt Lake City
Time to tear the whole thing down
A heat wave in Atlanta
Frozen in Syracuse
Burning in Sacramento
Are you looking for hidden clues
Heartbreak in Nashville
Distress in Aberdeen
Tension in the Carolinas
Florida bursting at the seams

Garden of Eden
05:00
|

I am the lighting man
From the second it all began
A raging storm in the sky
From the moment you said goodbye
I’m white cedar & sage
New beginnings and welcomed change
Raw emotion inside
From the moment that you arrived
Set before your eyes
Like the garden of Eden
Grateful in a sense
In our moments of weakness
I’ll try to feel content
Even though I know you’re leaving
Frenzied dreams dispelled
Without a thought or feeling
Sweets to the sweet farewell
I’m still mortal as far as I can tell
I had a death dream last night
The one were i’m buried alive
Curious if it’s true
Outside my body looking down at you
Im somewhere else but still aware
Like the scent of magic in the air

Our Sins Align
04:19
|

You fall somewhere between a chore and a daydream
You’re Funny like that
You’re Funny Like me
You fall somewhere between a chore and a daydream
I’m taking the best of you and me
So follow
I’m taking the all of you and me
So follow
So we broke a promise made it haste
There is no shame
You can’t lose your mind that changes
I’m taking the best of you and me
So follow
I’m taking the all of you and me
So follow
There is no place I wouldn’t go
for you I’d follow
The faults we face
in time and space
for you I follow
Don’t get me wrong
I can be strong
I’ll take you all
I’ll take you
Our sins align
lean into mine
I’ll take you all

Let It Go
05:08
|

Time take time to recognize the ground you have come to stand upon
light let light be part of the scene that you are making on your own
get right with time before time takes away the very things you want to hold
you want to hold you want told hold
you want hold
and then let go
see the chains explode
see the lines decode
themselves while you watch them
and the miracle
is the way it flows
the way the days go
by themselves without you helping
right before you raise your hand there is a stabbing pain in your chest
is your heart conspiring against you now along with all the rest
might make more show than it make sense but its a good show anyway
what ever you have to do to get them just get them to look to look away
and then let go
see the chains explode
see the lines decode
themselves while you watch them
and the miracle
is the way it flows
the way the days go
all by themselves without you helping

An Old Despair
04:24
|
|||
|
You would know how darkness gets around
Go to sea once more waves and salt
Ocean tramps this earthly beauty haunts
Crashes over everything you want
Oh these boundless moments
My true weakness found
Cruel stars light summer
Flawed bodies falling down
And I heard a voice
It was an old despair
It called out for help but no one was there
Where was the last place you had a cry
Arm crossed with half remembered eyes

Soon You'll Find Home
04:47
|
|||
|
Open up that wooden box
Oh look inside and see
There’s something written with whale bone
It was brought here from an elder & held in memory
There’s an inscription “you’ll soon find home”
There’s an envelope that holds your dear mother’s rosary
For her benedictions to Mary
But I don’t need a god to tell me what i’m supposed to be
It’s just fiction beautiful poetry
There’s a rolex watch you should have from your grand daddy
His valediction he was set free
From a life of clocking in and out at a factory
Could have been a politician he was charming
No I never
I couldn’t ever
It’s not me
No I never
I couldn’t ever
Buy the Dream
It’s a long way down
From the top of the hill
To recognize the patterns of nature
It’s three o’clock in the morning
The wind is wild and I am restless
Soon you will find home
Make up have peace
Soon you will find home
And maybe BELIEVE.
