Slinky
03:12
|
|||
|
You never look for trouble yet always seems to find you and
You fell so many times now that you trip to look behind you
To have a perfect day well it would just be uneventful
When compared to everybody else it all makes you resentful
That’s how we travel everyday
Just like a Slinky down the stairs
Sometimes there’s something in the way
Most of the time you feel impaired
That’s how we travel everyday
Just like a slinky down the stairs
Sometimes we make it all the way
Most of the time you need a hand
You’re always last in line no matter how early you get there and
You never win the door prize even when you’re all alone inside
Try and try again it’s like commuting to square one and
so you go back to the drawing board where nothings ever done.
Sleeping at the airport when you could have took the train
Then everyday you wish for sunshine someone always prays for rain
Saving for the future never pays off the expenses and
The more you try to figure out the less it all makes sense

Honest Look
04:54
|
|||
|
These walls that are closing in
You hide within them till you’re breathless
And this space that you’re taking up
is breaking up around the edges
And I begged you to take an honest look
To give back all you took this time around
Like the silence at the end of a song
You just string me along and let me down.
You strain and push against the waves
to get yourself above the surface
And you think as your drifting away
The tide will rise again regardless
Let me down
This path of logic that you know
Has lead you on without a foothold
And these threads of comfort that you sew
have weaved themselves into a blindfold.
Let me down

Tremble
03:51
|
|||
|
Stare and Scowl
Will you Purr or Growl
Will you count the times that you tremble, tonight
Arch your Back
Will you paw or scratch
Will you count the times that you tremble, tonight
Cold and nervous from pain on purpose
Cold and nervous from pain on purpose
Will you count the times that you tremble, tonight
Half Closed eyes
Will you sleep or spy

Sand & Paper
03:38
|
|||
|
Following the coyote
Keep down
Hiding from the lions gaze
Stay down
Passing bones along the way
Look down
They still smell blood
Down, down, down
On the sand and paper trail
Down, down, down
Working hard to be a slave
Keep down
Can’t afford the things you’ve made
Stay down
More or less an even trade
Look down
They still smell blood
Down, down, down
On the sand and paper trail
Down, down, down
Now you’ve earned the right to lose
Keep down
Double back the path you chose
Stay down
Another mile in your shoes
Look down

Pray or Scream
05:29
|
|||
|
You have lived each day of your life in this same town
As the river swallows the streets you whole world drowns
All your friends and neighbors have climbed up to higher ground
Soon they’ll watch you follow behind as you call out
If you’re prayer had been a scream where would you be?
The most important day of your life and you’re stuck here
Waiting on the change of a light as the road clears
Someone always jumps on the tracks that you’re riding
When you can’t go round or go back you start crying
If your prayer had been a scream where would you be?
There is no one listening so it would seem
You have burned up all of your friends and you’re Journals
With your educated despair for the whole world
How dare others live out their lives unenlightened?
They moved on and stopped pandering and you’re frightened

Fall in from Grace
03:03
|
|||
|
You watch him choke
Then slap his back
You cleared his throat
With a swift attack
There isn’t any grace that you can fall from
This far down
There isn’t any place that you can crawl in
Underground
Claim the light
It burns your eyes
You can’t see straight
You’re probably right
You know the words
To every song
You don’t rehearse
Just you hum along
Whistling past the Graveyard
Whistling past the Graveyard
The tragic news
Has stilled the crowd
An awkward space
For you to laugh out loud

Voodoo Doll
04:44
|
|||
|
Never climb the stairs without looking at my feet
Hands upon the rails just to hedge the unforeseen
There’s a world of hurt waiting there for me
She carefully made this voodoo doll
With pieces of me, pieces of me
This needle she’s passing through my heart
The devil can see, the devil can see
Wrapped up in her arms, so I can’t break free of her charms
Just a bag of bones and I never stray too far
Safely on the porch, never leave sight of the door
There’s a word of hurt ready to explore
She can thin my blood ‘till I’m all used up
All her make believe is replacing me
Lines are well rehearsed but I lack the strength to speak
Sheltered in the background noise, once again I’ve lost my voice
And this world of hurt is spinning more and more
I can’t break free of her

Ghost Whisperings
05:10
|
|||
|
Behind a veil of lace
They try to hide their eyes
There are no spirits in this place
Unless your of an open mind
Take your neighbors hand
And put your faith in me
A token is all I ask
And please keep it discreet
And I’m still alive so, I’ve noticed
Am I buying time, is it hopeless
Still I tune my eyes to the darkness
Listen in the night to the ghost whisperings
A knock against the wall
The bells begin to ring
There’s no one there at all
Is anything the way it seems?
Just say the word and I’ll know that you’re out there
Just say the word and I’ll break through
Just say the word and show me you’re out there
Just say the word and I’ll save you
A candle holds the circle
Of friends with good intentions
But it’s all smoke and mirrors
Of his own invention
Am I still alive? Have you noticed?
Am I buying time is it hopeless
And I still reside in the darkness
Listen in the night to the ghost whisperings

All in Good Time
04:04
|
|||
|
Mind where you’re going
Cover your tracks
Can you hear something?
Run, don’t look back
All in good time
Take my advice
Don’t’ close your eyes
Something is waiting
Just out of sight
All in good time
Now it’s your turn
Hands on you learn
It’s always something
Don’t be concerned
You broke the silence
