And It Shows

Gone and set you right.
And you said your long goodbyes.
All this just for spite?
We can leave all this at that if it helps you sleep better at night.
Give them something you can guarantee.
Not just lines on paper.
You'll file your nails down, we'll wait for the ink to dry.
Now without the claws to scratch out someone else's eyes.
We're back to the part where you say all your long goodbyes.
Give them something you can guarantee.
Not just lines on paper, you see.
Lined up just to fall, like dominoes.
We're delighted to and it shows.
You'll say you don't know what it's like.
Just fight tooth and nail but if you stay here for long, we'll be taking your island.
Give them something you can guarantee.
We've been lied to and it shows.

Know UR
04:09

Letting go like holding on.
Easy lives can be so hard.
Holding all in high regard, I know you are.
Write across the sky in smoke.
Put it up in neon glow.
Tell it all like one big joke and laugh alone.
Obviously I'm mistaken and nothing's for the taking at all.
Stuck in sticky situations
My hands & knees are shaking and I'm supposed to crawl?
Missed the train, wrong tracks again.
Standing hours in the rain.
It's that pleasure kind of pain.
You know just what I mean.
Obviously I'm mistaken and nothing's for the taking at all.
Stuck in sticky situations.
My hands & knees are shaking and I'm supposed to crawl?
Why wait? Go now.
Build it high and burn it down.
Mistakes = know how.
What a shame to live without.
Letting go like holding on.
Easy lives can be so hard.
Holding all in high regard, I know you are.

Vocabulary
04:28
|
|||
|
My time's on your watch so waste it if you like.
This time bomb's ticking clock can go off anytime.
Vocabulary doesn't have the words.
So silence is king. Better seen and never heard.
Worse for wear from all the saying being done.
Pages turn themselves, reading them or not.
Life like bad TV and just as relevant.
Open mouth to speak and bugs are flying in.
Impatient as always.
Paralyzed in paradise and can't eat the fruit from the tree.
I'm over the goodnights.
And for the right reasons I want "in" so give "in" to me.
In this place it seems that the blind will lead the blind.
Crazy lives to lead.
Who says we're out of time?
Impatient as always.
Paralyzed in paradise and can't eat the fruit from the tree.
I'm over the goodnights.
And for the right reasons I want "in" so give "in" to me.

Alibis
03:38
|
|||
|
Apologized a hundred times or more.
And set it right by bringing down the walls to build a door.
To shine a light on what I shouldn't show.
And give the edge to someone dull so they can cut some more.
Another place, another time, for sure.
What we got left is so much less.
You keep saying you want more.
And I can dig the 'glass-half-full' approach.
Our alibis are thin and full of holes.
And there's no time for breaking down walls.
Stand last in line but closest to the door.
You're out of sight, so out of mind you go.
Been talking more than listening.
Two ears, one mouth, use them that way.
Apologized a hundred times.

Brass Tacks
04:16

And now down to brass tacks. The best may be not enough.
Just back, you relax. The other shoe will fall.
No covering up tracks. No coming from or going there.
Slipping thru new cracks. Ones that won't repair.
Now who's gonna say it's alright?
A staring contest come to life.
With time never on our side
Don't we know just what that's like?
Think so? Know so. Or delusions of grandeur.
The quietest critic will never stop the show.
For the first time, last time. Its better not to rewind the soul.
But it's the same song this time. I knew every note.
Now who's gonna say it's alright?
A staring contest come to life.
With time never on our side
Don't we know just what that's like?
And I'll stay feeling no pain.
Change means losing all control.
And I'll make the rest up as I go.
This game's played. The rules I'll never know.
It's time for letting go.

Tides
04:07
|

|
In spite of everything, didn't mean to start war.
Tides bring what they bring and don't change their course.
The real life aspects of daydreams can be cause for concern.
In spite of everything, tides bring what they bring.
And wash you away before you know you're gone.
Fault lines move when there's something new to show through.
A new face to the plain. Nothing like we're used to.
In spite of everything, tides bring what they bring.
And wash you away before you know you're gone.
The tired is starting to grow in your eyes.
But it won't grow no more.
It's over sooner than you realize.
Back down to what it was before.
In spite of everything, didn't mean to start war.

Latest & Greatest

The dead have come to life again.
So tell me what's the harm in dying.
Another look around where you live will show you it's not paradise.
Hearing all their stories all the time.
They come alive.
Contagious as it plans to be.
And growing still in popularity.
Well I've seen it all when your friends are jumping off of bridges
And still you're standing right in front of me.
Like treading water with a brick tied around your waist and down you go.
It's working just like it's supposed to.
C'mon now, did you really think you'd float?
Hearing all their stories all the time.
They come alive.
Contagious as it plans to be.
And growing still in popularity.
Well I've seen it all when your friends are jumping off of bridges
And still you're standing right in front of me.
Contagious as it plans to be.
And growing still in popularity.
Well I've seen it all now.
Waiting for the sky to fall, I'm telling you, will get you nowhere.
Your friends are jumping off of bridges
And still you're standing right in front of me.

God
05:32

A million miles of sky stretch out from the window.
And you're saying there's a head nodding, shaking and saying yes and no?
What's it gonna change? Where you gonna go?
What will you do so different now that you think you know?
Does it give you butterflies and does it make you feel sure?
Now you're saying it's less when it's less but you know you want more.
And I don't think I know. And you know you don't, don't you?
Leave it to the ones who know the answers all.
The same ones that'll push to an edge
Because they swear something will catch you when you fall.
It's fitting like a glove. The voids are full and all.
A sign of better times swings on a single nail
But it's covering up the writing on the wall.
Does it give you butterflies and does it make you feel sure?
Now you're saying it's less when it's less but you know you want more.
Does it rain on the heads of the ones that live it their own way?
And I don't think I know. And you know you don't, don't you?
Does it give you butterflies and does it make you feel sure?
Now you're saying it's less when it's less but you know you want more.
Does it rain on the heads of the ones that live it their own way?
And you're saying gosh darn because goddam you've nothing left to say.
And I don't think I know. And you know you don't, don't you?
