Pieces of Your Heart
02:35
|
|||
There's a place you like to go
a little off the beaten road
You've got your thumb out
hitchin' to the west
You've got a feeling in your chest
a feeling in your mind,
no one to siphon out
the poison inside.
It's festered way too long I'd guess..
You're a beautiful mess.
You'll never find the pieces of your heart
when you give them all away.
I've seen you plan a thousand schemes
I've seen you walk the lines,
I've seen you flush your dreams
and darlin' don't you know,
it's all been done before?
Darlin' don't you know
the world's not the answer.

The Way You Groove
03:39
|

I've heard I can find you on the scene
they said you like the pulse of the beating drums,
and the bass frequency.
I've heard what makes you weak in the knees
and girl I've got the tones, I've got the lines,
so take a little ride with me.
And I got this feeling,
and my heart is reeling
and my blood is pumping,
because I know that
I can get with the way you groove
in the middle of the crowd, tonight.
I can see the way you move,
and it's burning me so bright
I could just stop and stare,
but i know that isn't right.
I could get with the way your groove.
Thousand bucks says
you got my songs on repeat
The wind in your hair
and your fists in the air,
the 101 will take you there
don't you worry girl,
I got you VIP
I'll meet you backstage
where the party's a-rage,
I'll look for the woman with
the gorgeous face.
And I got this feeling,
and my heart is reeling
and my blood is pumping,

Oh My Beautiful
03:24
|

I know the secrets that you keep
when you're lying in your sleep
you like to do, all the talking.
and the things you harbor deep,
idiosynchrasies,
they've got me all undone, yea..
I could be the one you keep
locked inside, your memory,
the pretty little chains like gloves
a perfect fit, yea.
I'd like to dream inside your dream,
'cause in dejavu, you're missing me.
while television static
plays the songs of the stars, yea.
I'm gonna catch your fall,
Oh my beautiful
I'm gonna break the walls
Oh my beautiful
Let the prosecution rest,
That I am second best,
in an endless line of sinners.
and I'm done with all the meek,
so hear me when I speak.
the voice in my head is louder.

The One
04:15
|
|||
You could chase the sun
meander the curves, of the earth
and never find the one,
after all your searching
Like a breath removed, from your chest
your stomach weeps inside.
and you feel so empty,
and the tears run dry.
Little girl so lost
little girl, in your shambles
there's a holocaust,
that I must, dismantle.
and you're on the edge
you need a hero's fight, tonight
like a mother's song,
enveloped lullabye.
I'll be the one,
who searches for you
in the middle of the night
I'll be the gun,
to protect your name
Don't you ever choose
the kind of fight
that you can't win without me
I'll never lose, this side of you.
There's a fire inside
a beauty bright as sunlight
and I'm closing in,
my rockets had their liftoff
the color of your skin
and the way you dance, in moonlight
has got you pinned, in my crossights.
Little girl so lost
little girl, in your temple
praying to your gods,
that I have dismantled.
and you're on the edge
you need a hero's fight, tonight
like a mother's song
enveloped lullabye.

Constituents
03:51
|
|||
There's a kind of speech,
that's circling my brain
an anger that shines, above the rest
and I blend and I burn,
and I tend to forget,
the constituents.
I thought I had it stalled
the illusion of control
it's tearing me from inside out.
Am I the last in line,
to catch something divine
they said breath in, and out.
There's a madness,
that's escaping from my head,
jealousy, hypocrisy.
If I could only break my bread
with hands so soft,
my enemies would be my friends.

My World (interlude)
01:48
|
|||
Sometimes I watch you sleep
and watch you move inside your dreams
all your little happenings, in your world
and I couldn't let you stir,
anymore than you'd be comfortable
it's like a bullet to my chest
your beauty never lets me rest
and I could have gone to bed
I had to pick you up and hold your hand
'cause when you're smiling like that
it's my world
and I love you more than me,
I love you endlessly.
all the things you are to me,
you're my world.

Golden
03:36
|

Life is a bitter dream
it leaves a bittersweet
taste in my mouth
I wish for the dire days
to slip off and melt away
like the dress of a woman
behind the tired eyes
lives a child inside
reaching through my pupils
just come away with me
we'll gridlock in fantasy
and just stare at the people.
I happen to know this place
it's about half a days walk
from the homestead
you need to keep up with me
if we're going to be free
from the chains of the humans
I saw another time,
beyond the black and white
a place where they wander.
They smile so endlessly
they're all making love to me
with only their laughter.
I happen to know the place
where we could get lost for days
I happen to know the way
into your heart and soul
All you are is what I want.
It wasn't an afterthought.
All you were to me was golden
and I couldn't hold on.
I gave all my love to you
an oasis between just two
my lover beholden.
I know you're all alone
you stand there and hold your phone
and you pray for the ringing

Take a Picture
04:55
|
|||
It's getting close..
the light behind the door,
it bore, those gradient flares
and only you know
how to capture the moment
before it's gone
before it can't be returned..
And I see, those crimson hallways
they're haunting me
the catacombs of the living disease
they erase the traces of memory,
and wander the streets
Take a picture
reveal your disguise
Use a filter, see the truth in your eyes
I can see you, in your transparency
I could need you,
if the world becomes so closed in
we can't breathe.
I could lay,
on the dusty floor for days and days
your hand in mine, we are the same
two wayward sould that know the pain
that we put ourselves through,
to make what we made.
We left our film out on the highway
for someone to find
and learn of our dark ways
to be redefined in a new way
darlin' you move me.

Sideways
04:12
|

Something's got me sideways
put it out for the world today
hear my song, hear my prayer
heal my cancer
got an itch that I couldn't scratch
right beside the caveat
what's done is for the best
don't look back
I had this dream where I died
but not before looking in your eyes
guilt personified
and to the coast I stagger forth,
dragging both my broken arms
I remember a time, I remember you mine
Something's got me sideways
aloft in a broken smile
a wound that's standing trial
a verdict of denial
I found a Garden of Eden inside
a place, to run and hide
to cultivate the mind
and weed out the desire
to all whom I've infringed upon
let my wrongs be turned to stone
to cast into the pond
or bind against my bones
in the dream where I died
I saw yet, another life
a baby's open eyes
and eighty years of life.
Something's got my sideways
beauty comes and it goes from me
I'm planted like a sovereign tree,
grasping for the sun.
The wolved are at the door
their teeth, sharper than swords
impale me.

Magnify
04:42
|
|||
Magnify,
the sunlight, and drink it in with open eyes
I was frozen, in our moment
but you melt the ice away.
And you're like a child, lost in the woods
don't worry I'm coming for you soon
Like running water,
you could slip through my hands
but as sure as tides from the moon
I'm prepared to carry you
I saw heaven, in your smile
think I'll stay here for a while
and we ran like children
when the world was different
in slow motion time
you're like a child, lost in the woods
don't worry I'm coming for you soon
like running water,
you could slip through my hands
but as sure as tides from the moon
I'm prepared to marry you
and you say that you won't be afraid
and that you need this love to remain
and that forever is just a race..
that you'll keep on running
and I will be with you every night
and have the priviledge to call you my wife
because I know that I won't survive
on this journey without you.
