Leaving Earth
04:13
|
|||
Hearts in my pocket
and my hands kinda shakin’
I spin around
but the world ain’t taking
Any more.....
Mouth open widely
my ears are pounding
my hands have a grip
so why I’m drowning,
Everytime.....(I close my eyes)
My eyes are shiftin’
and my feet are shufflin’
You looked away
and now I’m sufferin’
Damn it all.......(I had to fall)
My head is light
and my mind is spinning
Look down at the ball
and I think it’s grinning
After all............
Chorus: I am leaving earth again
No more heartbreak, no more pain
I am leaving earth my friend
No more heartbreak, no more pain
I am leaving this earth.....
Hearts in my pocket
and my hands kinda shakin’
I spin around
but the world ain’t taking
Any more......
Mouth open widely
my ears are pounding
my hands have a grip
so why I’m drowning,
Everytime.....
My eyes are shiftin’
and my feet are shufflin’
You looked away
and now I’m sufferin’
Damn it all.......(I had to fall)
Chorus:
My head is light
and my mind is spinning
Look down at the ball
and I think it’s grinning
After all............
Now my knees don’t knock
and my heart ain’t lonley
My eyes stare straight
at my One and only
Umm umm ummm
Drifting.....................

Still Tied
03:10
|
|||
Look in my eyes, can you see far behind
All the haze and disguise can't rub out all those lies
Burn the books, hide the shame, build a wall, yes again
It begins as it ends with just one, I descend.
I said to you, they're not lies, not untruths
But the colour of gray, such an alternate hue
If I told you the truth, would you really believe
Like a dream try to fly but my wings are still tied.
CHORUS
They're still tied, oh, but don't cry
They're still tied, ah....
Don't sacrifice your low to get high
Dig it out from beneath your desire to deny
All the light that reflects in a moment of doubt
Lips of wine, let it shine, let it never go out.
I can't believe that this dream isn't real
All the faces are clear, not a one is concealed
When I'm cut I will bleed, feel the pain, feel the need
To withdraw, to withhold, cover up, to mislead.
CHORUS
Look in your eyes, can you see far behind
All the haze and disguise can't rub out all those lies
Burn the books, hide the shame, build a wall, yes again
It begins as it ends with just one, I ascend.
I said to you, they're not lies, not untruths
But the colour of gray, such an alternate hue
If I told you the truth, would you really believe
Like a dream try to fly but my wings are still tied.
I can't believe that this dream isn't real
All the faces are clear, not a one is concealed
When I'm cut I will bleed, feel the pain, feel the need
To withdraw, to withhold, cover up, to mislead.
Don't sacrifice your low to get high
Dig it out from beneath your desire to deny
All the light that reflects in a moment of doubt
Lips of wine, let it shine, let it never go out.

Down By The Bayside
03:57
|
|||
Someone's got control of my hands and feet,
It's like sitting in the passenger seat
Driving me crazy with all of their lies,
Where do we go,
Honesty, I mean, honestly
It's just
All the same, in the falling rain
We will sing now.
CHORUS:
Do do do do do deh,
Down by the seaside
Do di do da do do deh
Down by the seaside
I disagree with this tongue in your cheek,
The fork is split in two, how you gonna eat
The tide is ebbing, a heave and a sway...getting closer
Honesty, I mean, honestly
It's just
All the same, as the stars refrain
So we sing now.
CHORUS
Ahhh ahhh......
Take a little trip to a free society....by the seaside
Be ya-self, don't settle for mediocrity...chuck it wayside
Take a little chance with a dose of honesty...by the bayside
Be ya-self, don't settle for mediocrity...chuck it wayside

Babel's Getting Taller
04:45
|
|||
Photographs tell stories
A thousand to one
But pixellate don't resonate
You hold the smoking gun
Itchy index finger
You draw, I draw too
Babel's getting taller
And nothing's getting through
Chorus: A-E-I-O....U U U ( 2x )
What about coherence
A place to belong
A million little options
So many of them wrong
Chorus: A-E-I-O....U U U ( 2x )
Ask me foe a reason
I'll give you reply
A sentence full of letters
But empty and contrived
Look for deeper meaning
But it's paper thin
Illuminated billboards
That outside's looking in
Chorus: A-E-I-O....U U U ( 3x )
Look for deeper meaning
But it's paper thin
Illuminated billboards
That outside's looking in
What about coherence
Not a place online
A million little options
So many of them wrong
Photographs tell stories
A thousand to one
But pixellate don't resonate
You hold the smoking gun
Itchy index finger
You draw, I draw too
Babel's getting taller
And nothing's, getting, through, to, you.....

Manatee
03:37
|
|||
You spot a small ray of sunshine
And you paint it on your wagon
No need to connect the dots
Should the bucket tip right over
Hold your hands out catch the water
If you can remember her name
Walk down to the water
Just a little farther
Someone there is calling me
Wading through the Mangroves
Saw a lady in her night clothes
Something going terribly wrong
I'm not blind
And I don't mind
If I've been duped
Then that's just fine
I can see
Ahead of me
The shapely curve
Of a Manatee
Oh can you see, Manatee
Jumping out the sea, through the breeze

This Air
01:50
|
|||
Stuck in the middle, left right and parididdle,
Never knowing what time, never knowing what time
Peel away from centre you'll life will get better,
Put your hand in mine, things will be fine.
CHORUS:
I want to ....believe that ...this air is all we need
Peeling round the corner, there are shots without warning
Never pay it no mind, and leave it behind
Off of the road got my hand on your shoulder
And-- I---- just got to finish this line.
CHORUS
