What if you woke up tomorrow...
And everything was different?

Entwined

Let's see if the mountains
Will crumble, if the oceans
Will turn to dust, if the sun will set
And never rise again on our requited love
We'll sing, we'll smile, and we'll dance
Our sanguine lives entwined
With our scars and our dreams
Let's see if my failure
Defines me, if I'm justified
In my pursuit to throw myself into your arms
In your arms again
We'll sing, we'll smile, and we'll dance
Our sanguine lives entwined
With our scars and our dreams
It's all too much and it's all not enough
It's all too much and it's all not enough
We'll sing, we'll smile, and we'll dance
Our sanguine lives entwined
With our scars and our dreams
We'll sing, we'll smile, and we'll dance
I am yours and you are mine
All our scars and our dreams

'Merican
03:40
|

I only see with these Western eyes
That I'm the hero, never one of the bad guys
I got my book - you know that it's King James
Good enough for Jesus man so why should I ever change…
'Merican - it's hard to do
I don't have time to give a damn
But I got a pretty flag for you
'Merican - don't lose your shine
Just look white in the mirror, dear
And everything will be fine
I'm sure it's bright up on this hill
Just don't come any closer babe
And let's agree to just ignore the smell
Of broken dreams and expired intent
Everybody wants to stay but no one can afford the rent
'Merican - it's hard to do
I don't have time to give a damn
But I got a pretty flag for you
'Merican - don't lose your shine
Just look white in the mirror, dear
And everything will be fine
Why wouldn't we stay when it's all that we know
Do you really think that I would give up the dream
It seems to me that you could be here too
If you just tried a little harder
And I took my foot off your neck
'Merican - it's hard to do
I don't have time to give a damn
But I got a pretty flag for you
'Merican - don't lose your shine
Just look white in the mirror, dear
And everything will be...
'Merican - it's hard to do
I don't have time to give a damn
But I got a pretty flag for you
'Merican - don't lose your shine
Just look white in the mirror, dear
And everything will be fine

Sunshine Girl
04:41
|

Shine down little star, sing for me little blue
The darkness cannot stay against you
Against you my love
Sunshine Girl, where are you going?
Sunshine Girl, where have you been?
Sunshine Girl, where are you going?
Sunshine Girl, where have you been?
Grace, laugh with me
In your eyes I see God
Don't let go, don't let go
Sunshine Girl, where are you going?
Sunshine Girl, where have you been?
Sunshine Girl, where are you going?
Sunshine Girl, where have you been?
Sunshine Girl, where are you going?
Sunshine Girl, where have you been?
Sunshine Girl, where are you going?
Sunshine Girl, where have you been?

Beautiful Distraction
05:46
|
|||
Thirty-three miles through the night
Waiting for a sign
That you are more than a picture in my mind
More than just a breath
Taken in a melancholic dance
With the god who killed romance
Because it was nothing more
Than a beautiful distraction
If you cry, I'll follow
If we die breaking our hearts
Along the way
I'd give sixty years to breathe
And I'd trade blood just to see
Your vision dancing in my dreams
Like a beautiful distraction
If you cry, I'll follow
If we die breaking our hearts
Along the way
If we part, I'll reach you
There's still so far to go
Look up cause it's a long way down
If you cry, I'll follow
If we die breaking our hearts
Along the way
If we part, I'll reach you
There's still so far to go
Look up cause it's a long way down

Fall Down
04:48
|
|||
Oh did you think of everything
Before you left this time
Pictures of our broken dreams
And memories that were mine
But far be it for me to tell your truth
When your truth is left behind
Go ahead, fall down
Can you feel the sun?
Oh let it wash me
Oh let it wash me and don't cry
Go ahead, fall down
Can you feel the sun?
Oh let it wash me
Oh let it wash me and don't cry
Tear the veil amid the scream
A vision of the blind
Reaching out for you and me
To drown the wind inside
(Cover your eyes and just let go)
Go ahead, fall down
Can you feel the sun?
Oh let it wash me
Oh let it wash me and don't cry
Go ahead, fall down
Can you feel the sun?
Oh let it wash me
Oh let it wash me and don't cry
Go ahead, fall down
Can you feel the sun?
Oh let it wash me
Oh let it wash me and don't cry
Go ahead, fall down
Can you feel the sun?
Oh let it wash me
Oh let it wash me and don't cry
Go ahead, fall down
Can you feel the sun?
Oh let it wash me
Oh let it wash me and don't cry

Everything's not always what it seems
Break it down
Tell me where you looking
Hey man
It's nothing that you haven't seen before
Take a breath
Before you start cooking
Don't ask it's yours for the taking
Everything's not always what it seems
It's the illusion of control
Double take
Not that you can help it
You're just a man
It's not your responsibility
That dress
It's an affirmation
Don't ask it's yours for the taking
Everything's not always what it seems
It's the illusion of control
Throw her down
Despite what she's saying
Big man
Just like you saw Daddy do before
But one day
She'll take back the power
Don't cry it's hers for the taking
Everything's not always what it seems
It's the illusion of control
Everything's not always what it seems
It's the illusion of control

The Oracle (Speak to Me)
04:11
|
|||
Speak to me all the truth in your lies
A fantasy for your thin disguise
And I'll break away from your chains tonight
And I'll take away your power to win, to win this fight
Come along everybody tell your secrets cause I know what you're thinking
Come along everybody tell me cause...
I can see the future
You don't have a place there
We? There is no we tonight...
Speak to me all your plans for my life
Another fantasy of my own demise
Where I run away without a fight
But that was yesterday, I'll not go quietly into that good night
Come along everybody tell your secrets cause I know what you're thinking
Come along everybody tell me cause...
I can see the future
You don't have a place there
We? There is no we tonight...
Speak to me and romanticize
Your fantasy which you'd like to reprise
But you overplayed all your cards this time
So now you'll fade away and try again in another life
Come along everybody tell your secrets
Cause I know what you're thinking
Come along everybody tell me

The First Time
04:24
|
|||
It's a bittersweet reminder
As she races by faster than she should
That I'm always chasing
Chasing the one that I don't want to catch
Turn around my love
And for the first time let me see you
Hold my gaze until the river comes to take me home
And I'm afraid I'm not afraid
Of giving myself to surrender
And float along with you
And float along with you
Take all of my expectations
Of who I thought she was tempered by my fear
Of the unknown that everybody says they know
Because the Bible told them so
Or so the story goes
Turn around my love
And for the first time let me see you
Hold my gaze until the river comes to take me home
And I'm afraid I'm not afraid
Of giving myself to surrender
And float along with you
And float along with you
Have I misunderstood or failed to mention
I don't know who I am?
It's a failing I'm familiar with
A thorn in my side that will never go away
Turn around my love
And for the first time let me see you
Hold my gaze until the river comes to take me home
And I'm afraid I'm not afraid
Of giving myself to surrender
And float along with you
And float along with you
Turn around my love...

Where to Begin
03:43
|
|||
Can I ask you a question
And you don't have to answer
It's just that there's something
That I've always wondered
And no I'm not being sarcastic
Or have an ulterior motive
When I say that I value your experience
Tell me how, how to love you
When you're everything
But I'm not
Alright
Or even aware of where to begin
So you see my dilemma
A classic conundrum
Of wanting to do
What I don't want to do
Because I want you
Too many times I've been this close
To reach back and let go
And fall too many times
Tell me how, how to love you
When you're everything
But I'm not
Alright
Or even aware of where to begin
Yeah
I want to be more than you make of me
Yeah
I want to be more than this
Tell me how, how to love you
When you're everything
But I'm not
Alright
Or even aware of where to begin
Tell me how, how to love you
When you're everything
But I'm not
Alright
Or even aware of where to begin

Apropos
03:49
|
|||
Welcome to my stream of consciousness
The inimitable venue where we crash and burn
We're gonna break on through the fourth wall
Tear that mother down 'til the silence is deafening (crescendo)
And fortune will favor the bold if you were listening
When I gave up the ghost
But I can only repeat myself so many times (many times)
Right (yeah)
Say what you want to know
Say what you want to say
Say that it's apropos
To see things my own way
Let's stir shit up and force the conversation
An evaluation of our paradigms
And our inability to be who we want to be
Without some duplicity required for a fee
So figure out what you want to do with your thirty pieces Judas
That you got from you know who
Because I'm not going down with this one (it's a long way to fall)
Say what you want to know
Say what you want to say
Say that it's apropos
To see things my own way
Say what you want to know
Say what you want to say
Say that it's apropos
To see things my own way
Say what you want to know
Say what you want to say
Say that it's apropos
To see things my own way
