Thin White Lines

I give up
On trying to make my point to you
I’ve said my peace and we can’t seem to see eye to eye
It doesn’t mean a thing to me
What I do doesn’t please so I’ll do as I please
And hope someday you’ll be satisfied
I stood up
To try and make my voice be heard
The louder I spoke the deafer you became
Nothing means a thing to me
What I do doesn’t please so I’ll do as I please
And hope that someday you’ll just let it slide
I get by it seems
On your fantasies
But don't come any closer
There’s something you don’t want to see
So give it up
I’m tired of sounding so absurd
You've made it clear that there's no compromise
We don’t mean a thing to me
What I do doesn’t please so I’ll do as I please
And hope that someone we'll be five by five
We get high it seems
On your fantasies
But don't come any closer
There’s something you don’t want to see
It’s goodbye it seems
To your fantasies
Don't come any closer
I’m not who you want me to be

The Oath

Oath taker
The path that lay before you goes many ways
Oath taker
You walk along a tightrope, so easily swayed
Oath breaker
The choice you make you will take with you to your grave
Oath breaker
These consequences haunt you til the end of your days
I can barely recall
How I made such a mess of it all
Stumbled toward my fall
And it hurt you
But my back was against the wall
I made a shitty call
I stumbled into the fall
And it hurt you
I’ll say it over and over again
All of my sins have caused the mess that we’re in
I say it over and over again
All this living in sin has caused the mess that we’re
Oath taker
Oath taker
Oath breaker
Oath breaker
Oath taker
Oath taker (oath taker oath taker)
Oath breaker
Oath breaker (oath breaker oath breaker)
I can barely recall
How I made such a mess of it all
Stumbled toward my fall
And it hurt you
But my back was against the wall
I made a shitty call
I stumbled into the fall
And it hurt you
Say it over and over again
All of my sins have caused the mess that I’m in
Keep saying’ it over and over again
All this original sin has caused the mess that I’m in
Over and over again (I can barely recall)

Backlash
06:45
|

|
The backlash on this one
Doesn’t feel quite the same
An ordinary moment made quite insane
And asking forgiveness
Would just hide my shame
But I still get choked up when I hear your name
And on and on along it goes down
I'm not asking forgiveness
You can't give it anyway
You know how I feel all the same
So as the sirens call
And I watch the waves crest and fall
There's really no reason for it all
Yet on and on along it goes down
Feels so quiet today
And I
Am two steps behind
Can't you push through the day?
And I'll
be one step
Closer
To fading out
Feel you pulling away
And I am
One step behind
Can't you push through the day?
And I'll be one step closer to fading out

You were outside just waiting for this moment to arrive.
Dodging raindrops on your way toward catching my eye.
From photon to wave as you need
The colors of the spectrum start to bleed
And I guess that it's all a part of some grand design
You were content on waiting for this moment to retire
Hanging on through the blink of an eye to expire
So why should I even bother?
If a rainbow tastes like water
Well I guess that seems like it should be a crime
In my mind
And I am fearful in these moments that I've become so overly jaded
That I can't appreciate the little things any more and to endure them is a chore
But I remember a day and it doesn't seem so long ago when everything glistened with life
But not a day goes by that I'm not left wondering
How to
Make that
Feeling
Come back to me
I can almost taste it
You were outside just waiting for this moment to arrive

Miami
06:52
|

|
I was caught in the cross fire three steps shy of Miami
Combing the beachside buscando mi amour
Taken by surprise I surmise my own destiny
Bow to my savior and heed to the call from below
If I could breathe…breathe under water
If I could sing…the way that I feel inside
If I could breathe…breathe under water
I wouldn’t be drowning your love away
Bottle my words and set them adrift on the ocean
Bobbing and swaying tossed from above and below
Caught in the flow, a wave of perpetual motion
The sea is alive, teeth of the riptide below
But if I could breathe…breathe under water
If I could sing….the way that I feel inside
If I could breathe…breathe under water
I wouldn’t be drowning your love away
Now I'm alone
And I feel fine
And I see
I hadn't found what I'd been looking for
Now that you’re gone
Everything is fine
All it means
Is I didn't find what I’d been looking for
And all that it means
Is we didn't find what we'd been looking for
And all that it means
Is we need to find it some other way
And all that it means
Is we didn't find what we'd been looking for
And all that it means
Is that we'll find it some other way
And all that it means
Is we didn't find what we'd been looking for

Ghost
04:11

|
Heaven knows that I’ve tried
So how am I supposed to see
What it is I don’t believe?
When the waves come crashing down
Cause heaven knows that I try
To find my peace of mind
But the waves keep drowning me
When I’m lonely
I feel your ghostly arms around me
And I think
That the thought of you protects me
And I know
That you’re still somewhere near me
So I sing
Because I hope you can hear me
Hope
Heaven knows that I try

The Company I Keep
05:36
|
|||
|
I lie in bed at night
A maddening silence
Echoes down the hall
And though your battle is over now
The lights stay low
And the curtains closed
Guard the door as I sleep
Love for you binds me
Hold my hand as I weep
The company that I keep
Night falls once again
I nest like a wolf
Safely in my den
And though the echoes are louder now
I bide my time
Waiting for the sun
Holding on, I am
Keeping strong, but I've got
Bloodied fingers
From climbing up the walls
I hear you sigh
I keep
Moving on
My heart sinks
Deeper down into this prison I call home
The company that I keep
Is keeping me sane
Holding on, I am
Keeping strong, but I've got
Bloodied fingers
From climbing up the walls
I hear you sigh
I keep
Moving on
My heart sinks
Deeper down into this prison I call home
The company I keep
The company that I keep
The company I keep
Keeps me sane
(I’m not running, I’m not running away)
And now it’s over
(I’m not running, I’m not running away)
Won’t let it hold me back, but
(I’m not running, I’m not running away)
I just need more time
(I’m not running, I’m not running away)
Cause you were part of me and mine

The Rage
04:46
|
|||
|
The way I feel about you
Understand
I am more than just a man
It'd be best if you not struggle
Life in hand
I fulfill my master plan
And the rage is a feeling I can’t stop
This rage is a feeling I can’t stop
Red is what I’m seeing
The pressure’s through the ceiling
I get the feeling I can’t stop
Cause rage is what I’m feeling and I can't stop
The way I feel about you
I think it’s time I seek another
Understand
I am more than just a man
It’s the best when there’s a struggle
Life in hand
I fulfill my master plan
Let it go…
Just let it go…
And the rage is a feeling I can’t stop
This rage is a feeling I can’t stop
Red is what I'm seeing
Pressures through the ceiling
I get the feeling I can’t stop
Rage is what I’m feeling and I can't stop
The way I feel about you
Just let it go…
Just let it go…

She
06:20
|
|||
|
I can tell in a moment
From the look in her eyes
That she's got a story to tell
Of a constantly changing
Voice in her head
That speaks of both heaven and hell
Oh but she is persistent
In all of her maddening ways
One hell of a nutter
And constantly scheming
And dreaming of ways
To prove
she's not insane
And then in that moment
I look in her eyes
And see that she’s under a spell
She carries around the weight of the world
Cause it's her psalm to tell
Oh but in her eyes
I am hypnotized
She takes a moment
To explain these things
Oh and I
Shy away cause
She is crazy
She’ll never break me
Never take me
For a fool again
