Machine
I can see it now
it slices piece carefully
with slow throws and shots
of bricks and arrows through my heart
I scream
a welcome puncture
right through me
I'm sinking deep
I won't replace you no
I won't forget you no
I won't replace you
Stay a while right here
a pawn in black square
inch by inch and stop
just stand there you'll see right through me
I'm sinking deep
I won't replace you no
I won't forget you no
I won't replace you
Runaround
I'm going on a plane
I'm flying east again
to close this storybook
a motion picture end
broken fingers broken toes
what is left for me
exploit my nicest quality
this isn't how it was supposed to be
get close to me
cause I can't wait too long to find this out
there's too many words that spread around
cause I can't wait too long to find this out
this runaround
I'm going for a drive
it's not my car this time
a foreign shift and wheel
an unfamiliar feel
broken fingers broken toes
no guitar for me
silence is my company
I'm tranquilized indefinitely
get close to me
cause I can't wait too long to find this out
there's too many words that spread around
cause I can't wait too long to find this out
Up
at night
cause there's no damn way I'd ever stand for this
another candidate I would dismiss
but since your so naive and gentle with your words
I try it never works
cause you know youre the one baby
that keeps me up at night,
you know were always leaving on another flight
I was so convinced I was in control
I can switch you off
but now it's taken over me
like rain on leaves
I stand so still and drenched
and out of words
cause you know youre the one baby
that keeps me up at night,
you know were always leaving on another flight
ISA
such a quiet boy on the telephone
common for my kind to be preyed upon
by someone just like you
someone just like you
oh I will stick around you see no I won't be as cowardly
all the lighting seems so dim
turn em up they all just flicker
well the evening's wearing thin
give me clarity before the night arrives
in a waiting room I sit with you
no words were exchanged
drowned in pressures of
normal conversations
normal conversations.
you don't mean those words or this cold embrace
spitting lies at me it won?t take the place
of that other one I knew
of that other one I knew.
Never
In The Sun
stay inside
there?s noting else to see
all their injuries
will heal eventually
secret thoughts we won?t say aloud
I have sympathy
but glad it wasn?t me
so take comfort in knowing i was not the one to
to take this heavy blow
ovehead another
falling down
avoid catastrophe
pretending I don?t see
distance is
not protecting us
we?ll hide in caves
we?ll hibernate
Touch
and Go
humid traffic and rain
sailing bound for escape
heavy pounds slowly penetrate
only be for the week
we drive out on the streets
and I think of the bed I made
touch and go
run away
tiny bites
tiny taste
do you notice
how i fade
cause I?ve done this before
out of songs out of rhyme
slowly run out of time
as I wait for you to arrive
I?ll have no souvenirs
did not have any dreams
but there's something I am leaving here
touch and go
run away
tiny bites
tiny taste
do you notice
how i fade
cause I?ve done this before
It?s all I know
believe me when I say
it?s all I know
this friction on my skin
will turn to scars
I?ll speed off in a plane
it?s all I know
I?m leaving here again
I?m leaving here again
Irascible
I have reminders everyday
of bullet shots and razor cuts
reminders everyday
crazy me I?ve tangled in old wounds again
but how was I to know
that I was so irascile
the devil told me so
and you stared me down
with dark and bloodshot eyes
since you practiced every night
you?ve got me paralyzed
how can you make me then rattle it up
when your timing is so bad
change it all up
when your words are so strong
change it all up
and I?ll keep it down
wake up wake up
it?s time to go
I?ll get away
you?ll never know
I?ll blend with backgrouds again
connections in
connections out
a circuit mess
don?t sputter out
and I?m so tired of plugging in.
I said wake up wake up
I said wake up wake up
So
Tired
coming up for air
you took a while there
so concentrate on it
and start it again
I creep down
and drop you where you stand
push button
collapsing from my grip
and fall asleep
and fall asleep
cause I'm so tired
I'm so tired
face down on feathers
cause I'm so tired
I creep down
and drop you where you stand
push button
collapsing in my lap
and fall asleep
and fall asleep
coming up for air
you took a while there
so concentrate on it
and start it again
cause I?m so tired
I'm so tired
face down on feathers
cause I'm so tired
you've got the sweetest taste
I'll always find my way back
you?ve got the sweetest taste
I'll always find my way back
November
milliseconds slowly turn
into hours in distress
no exchange of services
and november is closing in
cause blue turns into stars
and this sphere will still revolve
in it's elliptic
shape be calm in November
don't soak up your eyes
in broken windows and shattered glass
that's projected on you screen
don't injest its tragic beam
cause blue turns into stars
and this sphere will still revolve
in it's elliptic
shape be calm in November
Applebite
Thinking, explaining every word
And when I go back, discuss what I have heard
and all the weekends I had you down
and all the time I'd know I had become yours
because of equal eyes
And now that you've gone
I'm left here open wide
so every push of the button
I'm waiting around for all the socialites
and all the days when I went nowhere
there was a lot I never took my share
and the morning comes again
with all the natural light
with every evening wear
with every applebite
with every moment spared
I see the satellites
and all the weekends I wasted
just leaning on the walls
with every moment spared
I wave to your goodbyes
