You understand the world
Navigate it's twists and turns
Stay positive as clouds rarely stay
You understand the world
Navigate it's twists and turns
Stay positive as clouds rarely stay
Stretch your wings just like a..
a bird
Curse of being sensitive
You feel others pain
And what that brings
In the darkness of a brighter mind
You conjure up issues
That others don't find
And in the darkness of a brighter mind
You can't live the paradise
That you crave inside
You dig so deep in life
Because you think it counts
Now you can sense the depths that you go
You understand the world
Navigate it's twists and turns
Stay positive as clouds rarely stay
Some hope that you...
stay down
Curse of being sensitive
You feel others pain
And what that brings
In the darkness of a brighter mind
You conjure up issues
That others don't find
And in the darkness of a brighter mind
You can't live the paradise
That you crave inside
And in the darkness of a brighter mind
You can't live the paradise
That you crave inside
In the darkness
In the darkness
In the darkness
In the darkness
(of a brighter mind)
In the darkness
In the darkness
(of a brighter mind)
In the darkness
In the darkness
(of a brighter mind)
In the darkness of a brighter mind
You conjure up the issues
That others don't find
In the darkness of a brighter mind
You conjure up the issues
That others don't find

If I'm the 1
And you are the 2
What does that make us
Do I smell burnt toast
Or am I caught on an
ellipsoidic (sic) carousel
Hold that thought
How long?
Until it comes back
(you're like a)
B movie plot
Predictable low budget crap
Warpainted us into an awkward corner
I palindrew you
Now you got no end or start
(Never odd or even)
Hold that thought
How long?
Until it comes back
(you're like a)
B movie plot
Predictable low budget crap
Change your mind
As often as you can
(I don't get it?)
cause why else would you have options like those at all?
(never odd or even)
Hold that thought
How long?
Until it comes back
(you're like a)
B movie plot
Predictable low budget crap
Ann we never saw eye 2 eye
And I guess we never will
Before the Angel strummed his chord
The Devil got his claws in me
I don't regret a single thing
I'd do it all over again
So don't you hang your hopes on me
(That would be a fucking waste)
(Never odd or even)
Hold that thought
How long?
Until it comes back
(you're like a)
B movie plot
Predictable low budget crap
Ann we never saw eye 2 eye
And I guess we never will
Before the Angel strummed his chord
The Devil got his claws in me
I don't regret a single thing
I'd do it all over again
So don't you hang your hopes on me
Ann we never saw eye 2 eye
And I guess we never will
Before the Angel strummed his chord
The Devil got his claws in me
I don't regret a single thing
I'd do it all over again

Loosers and Winners

C
healers and heartbreakers
saviors and sinners
colleagues and critiques
let’s sit down to dinner
let’s forget for a moment
about losers and winners
V1
let’s gather in the garden
under a blue sky lit breeze
listen quietly to songbirds
under shady oak trees
hear new ways to
think and see
let’s reflect in shared silence
as the sun sets in hues of red
watch the full moon rise
and with warm fresh bread
try to forgive and
to forget
C
healers and heartbreakers
saviors and sinners
colleagues and critiques
let’s sit down to dinner
let’s forget for a moment
about losers and winners
V2
let’s swallow our differences
with a glass of mellow wine
share fresh fruit and cheese
seek kindness in others’ eyes
to keep humanity and
hope alive
let’s listen very closely
to treasured prayers for peace
show photos of our children
and hear poems and stories
over fruits and deserts
about dreams
C
healers and heartbreakers
saviors and sinners
colleagues and critiques
let’s sit down to dinner
let’s forget for a moment
about losers and winners

Will You Wake
03:10
|
|||
|
Will you pack aside the rubble from the everything of note?
Will you lay your weary memories beneath your winter coat?
Will you fill the sides with lifetimes til the leather starts to break?
And at the clicking of the latches
Will you wake, will you wake?
Will you gaze upon your father's gone but unforgotten face
Will you spread your loving arms and join him in a dead embrace?
Will you leave behind the ghost of every sin and each mistake?
And as he takes a step towards you
Will you wake, will you wake?
Will you dare approach the shadows as they shift before your gaze?
Will you stare a little deeper as they form in foreign ways?
Will you search for the familiar in the silhouettes they make?
And at the flick of recognition
Will you wake, will you wake?
Will the morning star illuminate another day in birth?
Will it light your heavy eyelids as it sweeps across the earth
As the sandman and the reaper play their game of give and take?
And as it rests upon the living
Will you wake, will you wake?

VERSE
A life's a funny thing, we try to cultivate it so
But from each crack and crevice, it all starts to overgrow
With work to work and plots to plan and promises to keep
Too many hours to contemplate the too-few hours to sleep
But sometimes, something happens, not through anybody's fault
To bring the whirl of thoughts and deeds unto a grinding halt
To stem the creeping of the vine and calm the storm within
Stay each thought and each distraction that's forever blowing in
CHORUS
Now I'm blowing down across the seas
Along this road of foam
Blowing, blowing on the breeze
A heart now bound for home
Scattered like the seeds
Upon a distant morning's dew
Safe back to the garden
From where first my spirit blew
V3
Her heart was warm, her hands were soft, her fingers ever green
Her friends were those who made their home where earth and sun convene
And as the errant bird one day rejoins its shaded glen
Her final breath calls out to me and draws me home again
BRUDGE
And there we'll be, together, for a moment
United, as no thing in life could do
With the wind beneath our words and through our hair and our umbrellas
And the grasses growing as they ever grew
CHORUS
