HOSPITAL
Hospital bound
Where seeing is believing
Black and white
Is the way to put up a fight
Impossibly you’ve found
Looks can be deceiving
Hey alright
Just as long as you sleep at night
And I say alright
When X is always an unknown
It’s hard to hold on to Y
When Y gets buried with your bones
And I say honest to God
What’s in motion never rests
There’s no way to make you see
There’s only time to solve for X
If some of this sounds
like rhyme without a reason
Wrong or right
It was written in black and white
and every shade of gray
is tantamount to treason
Don’t let’s be
Adding insult to injury
And you say alright
Your exit’s always an unkown
It’s hard to hold on to Y
When Y gets buried with your bones
And I say honest to God
When what’s in motion never rests
There’s no way to make you see
There’s only time to solve for X

LIVING PROOF
Do you know do you know what you’re saying to me
Saying what you’re saying to me,
from what you’re saying I doubt it
You should go you should go you should go out and see
See the world spinning around
Before you tell me about it
You’re the Living Proof
That the honest truth won’t always set you free
Every rock in the road and you’re blaming me
For the way you found it
I don’t know what you need to set you free
To find you’re way around it
Take it out take it out take it all out on me
Take your mess spread it around
To make you feel like a big man
I don’t know how to make it much clearer to see
Standing where you choosing to stand
Looks like your standing in quick sand
You’re the living proof
that there are some thing you must believe to see
Every rock in the road and you’re blaming me
For the way you found it
I don’t know what you need to set you free
To find you’re way around it

Come on
I can see we’re headed for the sun
Pretty soon I know it won’t be long
All the time we had will soon be gone
But there’s still one thing to do together
Come on come on come on
It’s time to go
Come on
Because it’s getting harder to ignore
There’s no way to be here anymore
With the ocean swallowing the shore
And no way to get around the weather
Come on come on come on
it’s time to go
can you recognize the sound
Of your heart beat start to pound into forever
Every moments come to this
It’s a pull I can’t resist or figure out
Come on come on come on it’s time to go
Come on come on come on it’s time to go
It’s the end
Feels so good to see your face my friend
Never thought I’d see your face again
Like a dream you hope will never end
Going to help you step into forever
Come on Come on come on It’s time to go
Do you recognize the sound
Of your heart beat start to pound into forever
Every moment comes to this
It’s a pull I can’t resist or figure out
Come on come on come on
it’s time to go
Come on come on come on
it’s time to go

You are the x upon the map
the buried treasure
I hear you calling from the far side of the earth
You are the bud before the leaf
You are forever for me
You are a season that is looking for its birth
Calling out to me
I’m calling out to you
I hear you
call and answer
from the far side of the earth
tonight
It’ll only
be a moment
Till you’re gone
And the moment
never lasts for
very long
I am a searchlight on the sea
Searching the weather
At night you glide along the ocean as it swirls
You are the mighty mustard seed
you are so clever to be
Where Mother Nature turns her oysters into pearls
Calling out to me
I’m calling out to you
I hear you
call and answer
from the far side of the earth
tonight
Calling out to me
I’m calling out to you
I hear you
call and answer
from the far side of the earth
It’ll only
be a moment
Till you’re gone
And the moment
never lasts for
very long
You are the mighty mustard seed
you are so clever to be
Where Mother Nature turns her oysters into pearls

Cigarettes

To take something beautiful
and fill it up with hate
Is such a waste of time
and mine is too precious to argue
You’re making me want a cigarette
Your making me draw the line
When nobody here is questioning
what’s theirs and what is mine
And I don’t want to argue anymore
If you’re always keeping score
Well it’s clear the game is up
How come you are the last to notice
Must be nobody ever told you
That to be a man
First you drag your own weight
to where you want to stand
But I don’t have the strength to anymore
If you’re always keeping score
Well it’s clear the game is up
How come you are the last to notice
Well it’s clear the game is up
How come you are the last to notice
Isn’t much to the art of getting even
You should want to figure out
You pack up all of your toys
You say I’m leaving
What did I leave out
I don’t want to examine all the treasons
you’re so ornery about
If you’re always keeping score
Of the facts and what they’re for
Well it’s clear the game is up
How come you are the last to notice
It’s clear the game is up
How come you are the last to know

O say come on now can’t you see
That we are brave and we are free
But we still got the blues
I want to get away from here
And all these tv’s selling fear
and calling it the news
if the words are mine to choose
I’d rather
say what’s unspoken
you’re unable to see
we were under a spell
and half the way broken
yeah we’ll easily be
torn by the 21st century
In the war to be amused
we never much was anyway
When you were young
And bulletproof
You twisted arms and told the truth
I guess those days are gone
Cuz now its evidence you seek
To plug your holes
and patch your leaks
And make your story strong
But to get where you belong
You’ll need your
eyes to be open
You’re unable to see
We were under a spell
And half the way broken
Yeah we’ll easily be
Torn by the 21st century
Torn by the 21st century
Torn by the 21st century
In the war to be confused
We never was much anyway

Automatic never make a sound
Light a fire then it burns you down
Dust and ashes when the job’s complete
The road to hell is a two way street
Two way street
A two way street
Been so long I have seen your face
Brought my fire my baby just in case
I’m like you you know I won’t be beat
The road to hell is a two way street
Two way street
A two way street
Tied together but you just can’t see
How the hell you got tied to me
I was thinking that the same is true
The road to hell runs from me to you
from me to you
from me to you
from me to you
Funny how it’s on a judgment day
Your heart is full but there’s hell to pay
Some accounts you know you just can’t cheat
The road to hell is a two way street

You
got what I need
But what I need now
ain’t nothing like you
Cuz you
Watch while I bleed
And what I need now
Is something brand new but I don’t know how to say
When you start the car you killed the engine
Filled up your tank full of sand
You used the key to lock your legend
Lost with a map in your hand
Us
And forever
Come together time
To make a new start
But where, if and whether
now or never plan
to keep us
apart and I don’t know how to say
When you start the car you killed the engine
Filled up your tank full of sand
You used the key to lock your legend
Lost with a map in your hand

I can you hear your echo
See it speeding for the coast
Waiting for it to begin again
It’d be faster if it swam
California to Japan
Cross the ocean under the milky way
Well I thought was alone when I heard you say
Only for me
For a moment it was strong
And the next one
It was gone
Just a ghost from a sound in the pouring rain
And the echo of your voice was a boomerang
Only for me
Only for me
Now you see me
Now you don’t
