Oblivion
04:23
|
|||
I’m the second guess, I’m the in between
I’m the never done, I’m the not knowing
I'm the walk around the block until you’re numb
I’ve become your oblivion
Yea I’ve become your oblivion
I’m the shadowbox, I'm the waking dream
I'm the letting go, I’m the sight unseen
It’s ok love
It’s ok love, hey love, hey love
In time
In time
In time, oh in time
In time
In time
In time
I’m the sparrow spun on the top of trees
I'm on the tip of your tongue, on the breath of the breeze
Someday someone will let you in
I’ve become your oblivion
It’s ok love
It’s ok love, ok love
In time
Oh, In time
In time
In time
In time
Oh, in time
In time

Birds of Paradise
03:47
|

You’ve been talking to strangers,
Now your head’s in the clouds
Flying low into danger
Diamonds back in your eyes
You’ve been chasing after nevers,
Now you're howling for the moon
Is this the sound of forever?
Or simply just a memory lost too soon?
Hey!
I never had the chance to not explain
Wait!
I’m stuck between regret and destiny
So stay!
I know you’ve heard this all before
I never meant to hurt you, love
I’ve gone and lost myself again
I’ve gone and lost it all again
You’ve been talking
You’ve been talking
You’ve been talking

Save Me
04:28
|
|||
Devil rides again
“Hop in the back and just relax, my friend”
And never call his name
Someone asked for a light
Was never seen again
Trouble knows his way
Leans in lightly, fixed his gaze
“Oh my time has come,
Save me”
Save me
Save me
Save me
And as the tide rolls out you call my name
I won’t be there
And as the lights go down you'll retrace your steps
I won’t be there
And as the tables turn you'll never learn
I won’t be there
And as the poet said before his death
I won’t be there
I won’t be there
Save me
Save me
Save me

Fade Away
04:44
|
|||
I never needed anything like I need your attention
I never had a chance to get behind the wheel
And now I’m running ‘round in circles in the wrong direction
I don’t know why I can’t find something I find real
Told myself I’d never lose myself for your affection
That love is at the bottom of a bottle that you drink alone
Every now and then I get the feeling you’re in love with reflections
How would you know, how would you know what I know?
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Fadeaway, let the moon move you through my rearview
Fadeaway, let the shadows shift and carry you
Fadeaway, I will never be enough for you
Until you're out of sight
It’s true I only wanted you to make me your possession
Could you ever find thee heart to simply let me go?
Why do I insist on asking questions?
When the answers on your face, you know I know
Someone, keep their eyes on you
Fadeaway, let the moon move you through my rearview
Fadeaway, let the shadows shift and carry you
Fadeaway, I will never be enough for you
Until you're out of sight
Fadeaway, let the moon move you through my rearview
Fadeaway, let the shadows shift and carry you
Fadeaway, I will never be enough for you
Until you're out of sight

My Broken Bell
03:55
|
|||
Ring, ring my broken bell
They’re listening
Talk but never tell
Don’t face the past, this is not the last
Time we’ll meet
There will be a way
Tomorrow bleeds into yesterday
And cries through the night
You don’t have the right
To dream
I was wrong
I’d never have this chance again
The lights above were calling me back in
I was wrong
Should have hovered high above the myth
The hounds of love were calling me back in
I was wrong, I was blind light before
Sing, sing my broken bird
They’re listening
Held but never heard
Just wait for me before you fly home
I was wrong
I’d never have this chance again
The lights above were calling me back in
I was wrong
Should have hovered high above the myth
The hounds of love were calling me back in
I was wrong, I was blind light before
I was wrong
Ring my broken bell

The Man Downstairs
05:44
|
|||
I will leave the leaves in piles out in the front yard
I make a fire out back for all the boys
I’ll tear your heart apart until you love me
As you try your best to talk through all the noise
Cuz the man downstairs is shouting from the table
She refused to take what they prescribed
I dream of dragons sunning in the courtyard
As we storm the castles with nothing to find
And we climb upstairs to our lover’s beds as they wait for us
They’re half asleep in the neon heat of the room
And I may not understand what you’re going through
It's true ... it’s true
She thinks it’s sad when it’s all been said there’s nothing
But yourself and the things that you believe
The man downstairs his head in his hands, he sighing
As we watch the children fall into the leaves
And we climb downstairs to our cheap sedans as they wait for us
Don’t go, don’t leave, don’t cry, don’t make a scene
And I'm standing there between child and man with only love for you
It’s true, it’s true

Long Lost
03:13
|
|||
Bound by time
I was left for dead
Row my bones
Leave my head
Diamond low
Scattered ‘cross an endless glow
Dream half said
I fall awake
Take me back and leave me there
Rise right up
Reasons never known
I get the feeling when I get home
It’s not my heart it’s not my role
Seasons end
Roll it back again
For ghosts like us
Seasons never end
Roll it back again
Roll it back again

In Vain
04:30
|
|||
You’ve been searching for misfortune
You had in your hands
You never wanted anyone
I was shapeless weightless motion
I sang in fractured light
Those hot and holy nights with you
Silence is golden, silence is golden
You’ve been drowning wine dark ocean
You held your breath too long
Was never good enough for you
Always your way
All these lies, these ancient ties
Your way
Always your way
All these lies, these ancient ties
Your way
Silence is broken, silence is broken

Missed Calls
05:10
|
|||
You prophesied and started to cry
I’m asking questions you just won’t dignify
It’s not like you to analyze why
Its only goodbye
I took you on but had to let go
I get the feeling I was someone you just didn’t know
I can’t go on I can’t lose control
Its only goodbye, it's only goodbye
I was in darkness when you were the queen
Drinking me under the table
Suddenly I’ve lost something of me
Everyone knows you
Nobody knows you're alone
I knew you once, never again
Got all these feelings I just can’t understand
Something like this will slip through your hands
Its only goodbye, it's only goodbye
I was in lockstep when you were the key
Feeding me fortune and fables
Suddenly I knew nothing of me
Everyone knows you
Nobody knows alone
Blind like a moonless night.
Blind like a moonless night.
Blind like a moonless night.
Like a moonless night.
Blind, like a moonless night.

End of Story
03:48
|
|||
How did you get this far, with no money?
When you crashed the car, thought it funny
We never had the chance to let this settle
Black the pot and black the kettle
Lost your chance
End of story, end of story
I heard you’re sober now, what a blessing
Wish you could show me how, no ... keep me guessing
Seems like all it took was meditation
A simpler man, new medication
Everyone to rave and rate you
Stand in line and validate you
I’m not sad and I’m not sorry
For loving you in all your glory
I’m just tired
End of story
I watched you from the train, for the first time
Have only myself to blame, thought you were mine
Can you appreciate this crystal vision
Diamond doomed, head on collision?
Something said and then forgotten
Left out in the orchard rotten
I’m not sad, I'm not sorry
For every single thing you taught me
It’s alright
End of story, end of story.
