Fall on Me
VERSE:
I'm sorry
I took this burden just to give it up
Illusions
They fall like rain into my paper cup
CHORUS:
I memorize deathbed confessions
Like riddles, dreams forgo direction
I'm not afraid to trust in nothing
Fall on me
So rest assured my paranoia
To you I'm infinitely loyal
And in your name I trust in nothing
Fall on me
VERSE:
No reason
To rely on logic in my flights of thought
Keep talking
Your voice is soothingly distraught
Prayer
VERSE:
Cobwebs on my fingertips
Cryptic words are flying off my lips
I regress back into the womb
And inhale life through exit wounds
CHORUS:
I pray, pray for rain
I'm draped in shades of grey
The night falls on my eyes
As my life turns clockwise
I pray, pray in vain
VERSE:
I would ask for a little faith
Just enough to ensure a place
In your heart. So I say a prayer
Or a curse that I chose to bear
VERSE:
Cobwebs on my fingertips
Cryptic words are flying off my lips
I regress back into the womb
And exhale life through exit wounds
Flying Blind
Take a placebo as a spiritual label
A seemingly harmless joke, disfigured by fate
Dehydrate your mind to find
That stigmas are flying blind
Unarmed by their grace,
Your thoughts interlace
Take a placebo as a spiritual label
A seemingly harmless joke, disfigured by fate
So what if your om is wrong
Would you challenge it alone?
Or splinter away
Thus breaking the chain
Take a placebo as a spiritual label
A seemingly harmless joke, disfigured by fate
You let me fantasize about old fairytales
The comfort of believing makes reality sublime
Flying blind - I am flying blind
What If it's True?
VERSE:
Throw your conscience to the wolves
Now explain my open wounds
It's easy to embrace the lie
When you're consumed by blind pride
CHORUS:
What if it's true?
VERSE:
Oil tsars are selling fears
While benefactors place cashiers
At the end of every breadline
As evidence of Gods Design
BRIDGE:
They own you
VERSE:
I have spent my life in shadows
Overlooking innuendos
Nursing my acquitted soul
While profiteers assumed control
Memory
VERSE:
There're times when I remember your eyes
And pain returns
You appear to me
As a candle burns
Shadows from the flames dancing peacefully
On the walls
And the mirror hides reflections
Of our souls
CHORUS:
All memories turn to dust
And winds carry them back, back to my past
All that I've known and loved is gone
Faded away with the sun
VERSE:
In my dreams I kiss your lips
And awake in tears
Brightest star is yours
When you are near
You're a dancer in the moonlight
Shining on
Will I see you in the morning
With the sun?
Little Wonderland
VERSE:
This coy, predictable night -
The jaded queen of lonely street lights,
Deep, meaningful sighs,
Awkward connections and weepy goodbyes
I'm here in body wont you nourish my heart
With honey in my tea and pale avant-garde
Our sentimental parole
Expires at sunset, just as taboos dissolve
CHORUS:
My little wonderland
I wonder all alone
And even with you here
This place would never be a home
My little wonderland
Your whispers turn me on
But as our hearts divide
This place can never be a home
VERSE:
There is no art in my words
No subtle accents on familiar chords
Just empty truth
That binds our scantily clad, pseudo-bohemian views
As to protect my eyes
I smear my cloudy dreams across city skies
The inspiration is gone
So you and I can break the silence and run
BRIDGE:
It's half past midnight so fast-beating hearts
Are running low on inhibitions
The scent of sex in the humid air
Is laced with alcohol and flushed carnations
Foregone Conclusion
VERSE:
I'm almost a ghost
A snow-blind beacon
A scream without an echo
Eternally lost
A skeptical star
Of lost generations
A blistering fascination
With visible scars
CHORUS:
If this is all that I am - an abstract illusion
I'll fade into nothing to become a foregone conclusion
VERSE:
Church without a cause
A heart without passion
Forgotten superstition
Embellished by flaws
I'm almost a ghost
A snow-blind beacon
A scream without an echo
Eternally lost
BRIDGE:
This hope without a bold, profound reason -
A lie with no beginning
Still I reach out from the confines of my prison
To clip my angels broken wing
CHORUS:
If this is all that I am - an abstract illusion
I'll fade into nothing to become a foregone conclusion
If this, If this, If this is all that I am
Then I, Then I, Then I'm a foregone conclusion
Open Sky
VERSE 1:
She paints in the nude
Dips her brush in reds and blues
Early Sunday mornings
When her muse is calling
He lets go - it's understood
VERSE 2:
Outside
Daylight that was once denied
Peeking through the curtains
Guilty and uncertain
Mimicking his worried mind
CHORUS:
He saw the sky in her eyes
Big enough to leave his world behind
Open sky
Open sky
VERSE 3:
She ascends
Back into his anxious hands
Drinks his red wine
Walks his lifeline
Promising a fighting chance
VERSE 4:
Nothing's lost
In the sea of settled dust
Was she only kidding?
Love can be misleading
Love can be coerced
BRIDGE:
Every choice is eternal
Underlined in her journal
So she paints her sky in shades of red
If her words lose their meaning
He will not stop believing
In the grace he found in shades of red
Violin
VERSE:
I drew a circle in the sand
And willingly I got inside
You are my sacrificial lamb
Benign humanity aside
My visibly elusive fear
Is beating wings above my heart
Your soothing comfort of despair
Is pulling synergies apart
CHORUS:
Play violin - drown my pain in crescendos
I'll be the dark cloud, hiding in shadows
Play violin - rattle my psyche
Bring up to the surface the demons inside me
VERSE:
And after days of drooling blood
Inducing faith and eating mud
I'm sitting on the halo while
Chitchatting quietly with God
I'm fairly certain that my hope
Is locked and guarded by a key
Pandora hung it on a rope
And threw her box into the sea
Flawless
VERSE:
My world is first impressions and vintage cars
I reinvent my soul for men with fat cigars
PRE-CHORUS:
I think I need a lift,
I think I need a tuck,
I think I need a stroke
Of my sagging ego
VERSE:
Bad dreams of imperfection are chewing at my heart
I wake up feeling gray - alone and in the dark
CHORUS:
Make me whole
Fix my flaws
I'm a perfumed,
Plastic doll
VERSE:
I fight my nagging fear of ending up alone
Residual value of my body maintained with silicone
Katie, Don't Cry
VERSE 1:
Katie sits in the living room
Flips through life in her magazines
Dreams of living in Hollywood
Sees herself on the movie screen
Rainbow parties and shopping malls
Fill her social schedule
She is popular with the boys
But keeps her Fridays casual
VERSE 2:
Life is fine in suburbia
Furnished by local pharmacies
Mom's hopped up on fluoxetine
And sometimes sleeps with her therapist
Daddy's just an empty suit
Haunting bars for an easy high
He's sorry and a bit confused
About the time he kissed a guy
CHORUS:
Cry, Cry, Katie don't cry
This is not your life
Don't believe it
VERSE 3:
It's obvious you can't comprehend
The torment of being a teenager -
And on the road to uncertainty
She is only a passenger
Katie contemplates suicide
But reruns of "Friends" and "Felicity"
Are keeping her pretty occupied
She can't seem to find time for anything
BRIDGE:
Bird in the attic
Never had a need to fly
Very ironic
She was given wings but not the sky
4th Dimension
VERSE 1:
I drew the line. I bought some time
To find a place where to rest my bones
And in my mind I've predefined
All roads that lead to Rome
CHORUS:
Proximity to my sanity
Is measured by the tide
My epitaph would be the love
That poetry can't hide
And I am searching, searching
For the fourth dimension
VERSE 2:
Not enough hours in a day
So I stay awake just to get things done
I live inside an ugly lie
That I justified with a loaded gun
BRIDGE:
I don't want to live forever
All I want is a piece of heaven
But heaven I can not attain
The clock is broken. Time remains
