Pure Light

Liza Marie was in such misery, did you hear it?
She cried dusk until dawn til the birds sang along, did you hear it?
Now Liza Marie stood in the center of the street, did you see it?
The crowd gathered round and all stared at her gown, did you see it?
Though no longer white, it shined a pure light, did you feel it?
Her face drawn and pale, her eyes a steel rail, did you feel it?
Hear her howl
She broke bottles and pans, through the yards she ran, did you see it?
Wake up the band, you’ve got blood on your hands, it’s New England
Hear her howl
She spoke of love and life and all through the night
We followed beneath her words
She’d been a mother and a wife, a widow was her plight
We all listened to her world
And the truth she strung out like pearls
Hear her howl

Call It Sleep
05:56

We are a miracle
Taken to task
Say you’re ethereal
Drown in the bath
Louder than lyrical
Following flash
Worry and wanderlust
School yard, pale face
Young, numb hands pull a broken lace
They’re bearing down, green eyes gleam
Father’s tongue among rotten teeth
{On the run down Tammany Hall
Call it sleep or call it nothing at all} 2X
{Run boy, run boy, run boy, run
They’re ganging up, one by one} 2X
Ganging up, one by one
We are a miracle
Taken to task
Say you’re ethereal
Drown in the bath
Louder than lyrical
Following flash
Worry and wanderlust
Spiking the graph

Last Time Around
03:48
|

One more drink, one more spoon
One more dance around the room
Spin the girl, bend the time
Leave the floor and faces all behind
Last time around
Grey to black to white to blue
Colors run among the ruin
Watch it all before your eyes
Paralyzed, hypnotized, anesthetized
Last time around
Good boy (good boy) watch him run
Verdant field (verdant field) bathed in sun
If no one calls (no one calls) does he come?
Shout it loud for the free and the young
Button up, press and groom
A thousand worms for the loom
Shut it down, close your mind
Eyes ahead never dare again to look behind
Last time around

Like Hell
03:17
|

What if I’m wrong?
And when I return you are gone
Is this dying? Because it feels like hell

Moment
06:44
|
|||
A bomb, a flash, a silent thunder clap
With love and sweat and arched back, a moment is made
A moment is made
The wind, the rain, the heat and the flame
A gear turns; the pins are all locking in place
In an ocean of waves
Wonder is born, wonder is born
The moment it takes, it takes us away
A boy, a girl, the story of the world
The time, the place, were waiting to take them away
To take them away
Into the unknown that feels like we’re home
The moment it waits… to be taken away
The moment it waits… for the living to take
My girl, my love, there’s no reason for the rub
It burns, it bites, brands us forever its name
We take to the grave
But there’s a hope, a light, a reason for a fight
This pain, this stain, will wane as nature reveals
That all wounds must heal
The moment is made, never taken away
The moment we made, will not fade away

Bad Habit
03:58
|
|||
I believe in the prophet
Diver down for the droplet
If I want, I could stop it
And walk away from the goblet
I’ve got a bad habit 2X
Shoot the dream and tag it
I’ve got a bad habit
I do owe
Pry the prize from the pocket
Turn the key in the locket
Pull the pin back and cock it
And brace yourself for the rocket
I’ve got a bad habit 2X
Kill the dream and tag it
I’ve got a bad habit
I do owe

Polvo
05:21
|

La playa oro, la luces de sol (Beach of gold, sunlight)
Vaya, vaya, sigo (Go, go, I follow)
Castaño sueño, tierra polvo (Auburn dream, earth dust)
Vaya, vaya, sigo (Go, go, I follow)
Flotas lejos, te amo, adios (Floating away, I love you, goodbye)
Te amo, te amo, adios (I love you, I love you, goodbye)
Mares de flor, campo dormir (Sea of flowers, field of sleep)
Abrázame, calarme, sanarme (Hold me, calm me, heal me)

Sandblind

One day he awoke
No signs or smoke
One day he decides
To stray from the light
On down he goes
Through stars and ghosts
Wind winds through the pines
Leaves laugh withered whines
Warm sun does approach
Soft voice, mother’s hope
Day burns through the vines
Sky breaks and divines
I am the only one with you here
We are the only ones who hear clear
Foot drags through the dust
Smell bone and tusk
Lids lead, eyes blue
Sand blinding dunes
Down on he goes
So far from home
Through market squares
Sun scarred choked air
Sights spin and degrade
World slows its decay
A call comes from the sky
Bathes love and divines
I am the only one with you here
We are the only ones who hear clear
I am the only one who needs you here
I am the only one who lives in fear

Following Heaven
03:11
|
|||
All in or nothing, with nothing to spare
Hearts under water, searching for air
Awoke at the bottom, stared into the glare
Blinded by beauty, I’m winding the stair
All in or nothing
Why should we care?
All in or nothing
The boy and the butterfly, the sun and the moon
Sit in their rocking chairs, a memory in blue
We wander in echo, follow the sound
Farther it fades away, leading us down
Following heaven
Why should we dare?
Following heaven
I have lived a thousand lives
And I believe that when I die
Before my eyes, the rain will clear
You always have been here
All in or nothing
Why should we care?
Following heaven
Follow me there

The Mayor
05:28
|

I am the mayor, you are the lamb
I am the one who feeds from the hand
You are the taker, I hold demand
I am the mayor, you are the lamb
I am the hour, you are the glass
You are a moment, I everlast
I walk above you, I am the path
You are the punchline, I am the laugh
We’ll conquer worlds together
We dance and die
Forever joined in purpose
We beyond time
The gear not born of memory
It had been there before your eyes
A hand that moves within you
Vision and guide
Whether you hearing, whether you deaf
Living and breathing, easing to death
It is no matter if you aware
Weather or distance, I will be there
