Another Life

come ‘long my sweet chariot
we’ll go to places we’ve been before
I don’t know if I can do it over again
I breathe in cause I know these faces
they comfort me in these cold and dark spaces
where I’m lost without a hope in sight
so stay with we’ll fall asleep tonight
what I’d give to open up your light
come a bit closer so you’ll hear these lines
don’t you step away from me I’m opened wide
come along you’ve got another life with me
the air we breathe the sun that beats down
on our feet we embrace the sum of our parts
and you make me whole again
(we go down to the place
where you are we go down
we’re falling to pieces apart)
so stay with we’ll fall asleep tonight
what I’d give to open up your light
come a bit closer so you’ll hear these lines
don’t you step away from me I’m opened wide
come along you’ve got another life with me
come a bit closer so you’ll hear these lines
don’t you step away from me I’m opened wide
come along you’ve got another life with me
(we go down to the place
where you are we go down
we go down to the place
we’re falling to pieces apart)

Love Suffocation
02:52
|

|
i'm awake
shake the sleep from my eyes
won't be no surprise
that when you hold me i'll go annoyed out the door
it's a love suffocation I wanna get away from you
I think twice
maybe it's just the day
not you where you laid
I turn it round and start to think of you
but then you call me and I wanna go through the roof
and i'm not sure about this
I think it's just the sex i'd miss
cause in my mind you know i'm singing
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I don't know what's going on inside my head
you write me
'hey babe how's your day
hope everything's ok
you were acting kinda weird when I tried to put my arms around you this morning'
I say darlin' it's ok there's a lot going on at work
and I'm not sure about this
I think it's just the sex i'd miss
cause in my mind you know i'm singing
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I don't know what's going on inside my head
I say
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I need you to be gone before I get back home
then I call you just to say it
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
i'm so happy
oh god now i'm alone

The Man Inside
04:39
|
|||
|
feeling
a little
malcontent
just say it
I don't
need that cent
the ways of
our fathers
they come and go
I come out
to follow
these wanton throes
I loved you my own way
it's not my
face that betrays your fate
I won't give
time to play my resolve
and I can't listen to
the man inside
does it ever seem like your people
stand in line
always wanting to bring you a life of fear
i'm getting tired of hearing what's best for me
from this lot of abandoned philosophies
I loved you my own way
it's not my
face that betrays your fate
I won't give
time to play my resolve
and I can't listen to
the man inside
cast it out I cast it out this creed
i've filled it up yes filled the cup for me
it overflows but what's left's not for you
they say i've cast them off but you need you and I need me
feeling
a little
happiness
I move
to my
amusement
you better act this is your opportunity
this is a call to become your reality
I loved you my own way
it's not my
face that betrays your fate
I won't give
time to play my resolve
and I can't listen to
the man inside

A Question
03:44
|
|||
|
a question of what you could not see
come along the way my veiled destiny
a question of what you did to me
roll along your day for infinity
waste your time like it won't end no
it's so perfect i'll just let go
don't you mind the gap cause it's a
temporary block on our space
just go one day
just go and I don't know what to do
just one heartache
you numb yourself in milieu
you come to me
on wings of longing just for three
just go one day (just go one day)
just go and I don't know what to do
just one heartache (just one heartache)
you numb yourself in milieu
and can you fake?
you never knew how to fool
just go one day (just go one day)
i'll conquer all without you
just go one day (just go one day)
just go and I don't know what to do
just one heartache (just one heartache)
you numb yourself in milieu
and can you fake?
you never knew how to fool
just go one day (just go one day)
i'll conquer all, conquer all without you

runaround
you're taking the long way
hear that sound
remembering you like I always
did, let's get married in a boat by the sea
run away to the ferries
we go to our graves
runaround
you're taking the long way
hear that sound
remembering you like I always
coming round to see you again and again
and I beseech you
don't call him your friend
I can't be bothered with meaningless fodder
oh wandering lover you've lost your way
forgo your innocence let go of your defense
this is the way that it has to stay
curtain call is over
it's gone to your head
don't be a stranger
be better off if we never met
runaround
you're taking the long way
hear that sound
remembering you like I always
runaround
you're taking the long way
(I can't be bothered with meaningless fodder
oh wandering lover you've lost your way)
hear that sound
remembering you like I always
(forgo your innocence let go of your defense
this is the way that it has to stay)
runaround
you're taking the long way
(I can't be bothered with meaningless fodder
oh wandering lover you've lost your way)
hear that sound
remembering you like I always
(forgo your innocence let go of your defense
this is the way that it has to stay)
runaround
you're taking the long way

Hazel Eyes

and she had hazel eyes those pools of green and blue
don't be so surprised you'll lose your religion too
say what you mean I turn round to laugh it off
come back to me i'll show your darkest thoughts
your comfort based on afterglow
erase it come out on your own
you come along you come along my friend
you go and reach you go and reach for stars
don't you think it's good enough so far
you'd heed this advice if future let you see
how sad and untoned this world could really be
did you not think that your flesh would start to show
it's time with the pin pops fantasy tableaus
and you do need a man to be
filled up harsh realities
you come along you come along my friend
you go and reach you go and reach for stars
don't you think it's good enough so far
you come along you come along my friend
you go and reach you go and reach for stars
and you should keep oh you should keep your heart
away from those who'd rip it apart
it goes a long way to the start

Realize
04:21
|

|
I descend from this mountain built on
someone else's vaunted lines
but who knew the creator's birth it
was a different age
realize you're wasted
realize you're late
and come into the play
realize it's over
realize its end
there's no way to start to begin
I take a breath and relax my way it feels so good to be me
i'm out from under the thumb that chained me to that desperate place
realize you're wasted
realize you're late
and come into the play
realize it's over
realize its end
there's no way to start to begin
stronger than I was then
stronger in the heart of it
we have bled
further on the light shines
further on we realize
i'm leaving you to be me
realize you're wasted
realize you're late
and come into the play
realize it's over
realize its end
there's no way to start to begin
stronger than I was then
stronger in the heart of it
we have bled
further on the light shines
further on we realize
i'm leaving you to be free

Standing in the Rain
03:16

just a little thing for you and me girl
we go along the road again
I think we're stronger when we're standing in the rain
won't be much longer til' we're out and out again
something calls for you and me girl
we have ourselves to thank for that
I think we're stronger when we're standing in the rain
won't be much longer til' we're out and out again
come to believe it you're my angel you're my way
I couldn't see it before now come and lay your head
come and tell your secrets in my ear
promise that i'll be the one to hear
I think we're stronger when we're standing in the rain
won't be much longer til' we're out and out again
come to believe it you're my angel you're my way
I couldn't see it before now come and lay your head
just a little thing for you and me girl
we go along the road again

Little Wild One
03:45
|
|||
|
it's not a question of what we should do
it's a simple matter of basic arithmetic
forget the one and carry the two
i'm seein' it clearer than I ever did
don't let 'em drag you down this time
i'll let you in on a secret that was mine
go little wild one
go shout your name
go lest they forget
your hallowed fame
stuck in the middle of false formalities
why does it matter they can't see through the trees
the situation's under control
don't worry 'bout them they're staring at their feet
fire's burning above and below
take it in your hands put it in your empty chest
can you feel the warmth grow in your mind
you've figured it out you'll go in due time
go little wild one
go shout your name
go lest they forget
your hallowed fame
triumphantly gazing at the scene
you're the star of a movie made for me
go little wild one
go shout your name
go lest they forget
your hallowed fame
go little wild one
go shout your name
go lest they forget
your hallowed fame
(come with me little wild one)
go little wild one
go shout your name
(come with me little wild one)
go lest they forget
your hallowed fame
(come with me little wild one)
go little wild one
go shout your name
(come with me little wild one)
go lest they forget
your hallowed fame

Raincheck
02:58
|
|||
|
shouldn't have to break your fall
i've known longer than you know
another random call
a new plaything for you to call your own
can I get a raincheck? (can I get a raincheck?)
can I get a raincheck? (can I get a raincheck?)
we don't need to fake it
you just need to go
we don't even need to fight
I know that i'm parcel in this strife
I got my side chick ready
no loneliness will take a hold of me
can I get a raincheck? (can I get a raincheck?)
can I get a raincheck? (can I get a raincheck?)
why are you screaming?
I escape cause you'll come back for more
I don't mind
because you never knew never knew life
we were fine
before you did go you did go lose your mind
take a stand
and then we will go we will go hand in hand
make a play
into your life
can I get a-
can I get a-
can I get a raincheck? (can I get a raincheck?)
can I get a raincheck?

Shout it Out
02:54
|
|||
|
friday night it's time for the tailspin
feeling's right the waves of the bass make
us in our wicked trance of lust and desire
is it just a dream?
breathe it in and breathe it out
breathe so much it makes you wanna shout it out, shout it out
with novocain and mary jane you always wanna numb the pain
so listen close, listen close
momma comes to tuck you in
and even when you think that you are lost
daddy takes you from the floor
got the strength from yesterday you grow
wake up and it feels like it's closing in
clock reads 3 pm and you lose control
roll out of bed and see that you're not alone
someone turn it off
breathe it in and breathe it out
breathe so much it makes you wanna shout it out, shout it out
with novocain and mary jane you always wanna numb the pain
so listen close, listen close
momma comes to tuck you in
and even when you think that you are lost
daddy takes you from the floor
got the strength from yesterday you grow
breathe it in and breathe it out
breathe so much it makes you wanna shout it out, shout it out
with novocain and mary jane you always wanna numb the pain
so listen close, listen close
momma comes to tuck you in
and even when you think that you are lost
daddy takes you from the floor
got the strength from yesterday you grow
you grow
can you find true love from a one night stand?
do you feel the dirt or is it pride that you let come in?
coming from the place that makes you a stalemate
is it just a dream?

All in Awe
01:48
|

|
it's no surprise they've seen our faces
so come along and run with me
i've half a mind and less motivation
darling you do complete
you and me we're puzzle pieces
in a wreathed canopy
of dust and light we're on our way
to love and dreams
cause all in awe we're whispering instead of grabbing the reigns
so break your chains
don't you walk alone now two is better than one
if only cause of love
to stay awake you'll need my voice and
to stay alive you'll need my strength
to be inspired we'll need each one to know and grow
cause all in awe we're whispering instead of grabbing the reigns
so break your chains
don't you walk alone now two is better than one
if only cause of love
