Blinded
Lost in lights
Can’t find myself in this city tonight
Turned around
By the sound, pace of life
Lost in time
Past parades by,
Chances they walk by
Don’t stop, don’t look, just look away
Lost in this daydream
Pictures and pipeschemes
Blueprints framed on the wall
The graffiti looks familiar
Sat tomorrow in the corner
I can’t remember at all
Blinded by pride
Like sun in my eye
Bound to myself
My reflection stands in the way
Pictures from the small towns
Ego in the big crowds
Do you remember when
On the edge of an alter
Perched above the camera
You swore again and again
Where was I going
Where was I doing
The thousand things in my head
Blind ambition, hands tied
Fire hot, slow bleed
Auctioned off on my knees
What’s the point
What’s the goal, what’s the heart for
Turn around, empty hands, they’re all gone
Take you as my leader, a joke that’s what you mean
You’re no closer
I’d rather walk into walls
We are seamless stitched together one by one
We are waking to a new day dawning
(Scream)
Lost in lights
Can’t find myself in this city tonight
Turned around, by the sound, pace of life
And pictures of you
Changing Ends
In an instant, we’ll get in the way
spinning to the stoics
swimming in a garden, we’re all made of ocean anyway
by the weeks end, I should be on the mend
changed man, changed world, changed hands - it’s always changing hands
1 through 3 cock crowed for you and me
and guilt filled the gutter
flooding over shoulders, buried the head
we’re all waiting for the blank space to begin to end
to begin to end, to begin to end, to begin to end - it’s always changing ends
spectacled landscape of stars
this parade of plastic and parts
used for art in the age of expression
wasted land so devoid of intention
Tongue Tied
They say I fell around quarter to one
Police report said I was punch drunk
Cupid spiked my drink, and I hit the floor
Next thing I’m falling through love’s door
You got me tongue tied up all night
You got me star struck, hypnotized
You got me thinking that you’re the one
But the last thing I remember was us together
When you walked across the room
I couldn’t remember my name but I remembered you
My head went rolling, these legs went strolling
Walking the room, I gotta find you
You got me tongue tied up all night
You got me star struck, hypnotized
You got me thinking that you’re the one
But the last thing I remember was us together
I awoke the next day
Your face before my face
I followed the trail back in my mind
And raced to the scene of the crime
My heart went over the room,
Looking for clues, any sign of you
I found your shoe with a note in the heel
Lip-sticked lips, and see ya next time . . .
You got me tongue tied up all night
You got me star struck, hypnotized
You got me thinking that you’re the one
But the last thing I remember was us together
Rain
If seeing is believing, you are blind to all reality
Smart minds and blind eyes, argue philosophy
Drunk the wine, dined with swine, appease this appetite
Satisfaction now at arms length grasping
Struggle to survive in a desert of despair
Throat open, gasping for a drink of care
Drip down O’ you heaven from above
And let the clouds pour down in love
Let it rain, let Your love come down and wash me away
This world, sugar-coated, but rotten to the core
Daily, my eyes, tempted and sore
Wash away all the lust and blood in me
Purge my inside of all that I compromise
Let it rain, Let Your love come down and wash me away
In the last days worlds tear us apart
Best intentions can be games of the heart
Step behind, all that hides – such is this waterfall of lies
For sure there the grass is greener on the other side
Leave the world, shed not a tear
Your home is in heaven and not here
Let it rain, Let Your love come down and wash me away
Touch The Fringe
You’re shedding your skin, growing your wings
Holding hope high, justified
Where you’ve been, sand through these hands
Don’t want to remember, anything
Through these eyes, you have witnessed
These moving pictures, shift this canvas
It’s know no longer, just black or white
What you have know, you framed this still life
The edge of this edge, throne in a manger
Empty hands, crown on my head
Touch the fringe, I know that you liked it
Wrap your tongue all around it
A taste of forever, sweet destiny
You thirst and crave it, seeking your peace
You can pray to your stars, wait on your gods,
find truth in their words, drink at their wells
But a taste will haunt you, eat at your inside
Pass the cup, drink it up, pass the cup, drink it all up
A taste of forever, sweet destiny
You are healed, but craving, waiting on your knees
You’re shedding your skin, growing your wings
Holding hope high, justified
The edge of this edge, throne in a manger
Empty hands, crown on my head
Touch the fringe, I know that you liked it
Wrap your tongue all around it
Mirror
Forever starting at end
Fast friends in opinion
Thinking just for thinking, makes mixed company in bed
You opened a hole in the wall
You closed the doors to the sky
Fingered me the reason, started swingin, and I took your fall
But this love not going away
This love is here to stay in the way
You’re questioning your motives
Looking for a way out
Caught from behind and now your surrounded with the bridge down
Mirror, mirror on the wall please talk to me
I feel like stone, how did this heart get so cold
Stuck in a tower, all doors lead down, all go down
Eye of a hurricane, all bow down
Only paper dragons respect this crown on me
But your love’s not going away
Your love is bound to stand in my way
Building ramparts to crouch behind
There’s sides I’ll never find
Faces I’ll never see, faintly fading inside
But this love not going away
This love is here to stay in the way
Magnolia
She was the talk of Iron City
The queen for awhile
The voice of an angel, reckless and wild
Talk to the locals and mention her name
One by one they’ll return to the corners they came from
They’ll show you the scars
The boys at the bars
The tattoos with her name
And they’ve all got her picture hiding in the leather
For those daydreaming made cold Tennessee days
It’s lonely night caught in neon and smoke
This place at the fork in the road
And heads are filled with the voices of jack
Crying to the bar stool’s she’s not coming back
Light In Gray
Maybe my faith is in me alone
I’ll sacrifice al behind this six string wall
Pride filled castle and still alone
Loving these walls, what have I become
Do I listen to the wind whispering in my ears
Do I question the silence when hidden in fear
Who is teaching who out here
Where the shadows shade the light in gray
Ties to demons that won’t stop their screaming
These voices that haunt me, edges that aren’t me
These moving shadows, these bloody days
Stoned slave sits chained to the TV
Do we listen to the things that fill our heads
Do we question our leaders about what’s said
Who is teaching who out here
Where the shadows shade the light in gray
To callused for compassion, pitiful in patience
We are puppets with prejudice, in a world of images
Reflection always changing, perspective rearranging
Wandering with direction, past mistakes we’re second guessing
This empty road, does your path make sense
Choose this hell, or jump the fence
Do you listen to the words spoken off your tongue
What you once hated now you’ve become
Who is teaching who out here
Where the shadows shade the light in gray
Dent
I’m sorry for the dent I left, I’m not asking you to forgive and forget
I’m sorry for the things I said, I lost my head
So last night, I chased down my heart
Found it blocks away, from where you lay
I’m sorry for the dent I left, do you think your heart will ever mend
I’m sorry for the things I said, and your words like arrows in bed
Double
The night is right, right in time
A little light, light on – light on
Turn the switch, pack the life
Box up distraction
A know it all, you’re it
Roll it up and smoke that shit
Habit in hand, the betting man
Traffic of your habits, got a line in
What you said, went straight to my vein
Blow my mind, I’m seeing double
. . .This time
. . .I’m seeing double behind
. . .I’m seeing double beside
King of the movers, and king of kings
Prince of the players, And King of me
This poison takes to much, it wants control
At every flinch, it’s what I move toward
This crutch, I’m using, it’s abusing me
The life I’m using, it’s using me
The life I’m living, I’m loosing me
Caught in a high, don’t know why
Can’t get off my . . .
Caught in a high, don’t know why
Can’t get off my knees
What you said, went straight to my vein
Blow my mind, I’m seeing double
. . .This time
. . .I’m seeing double behind
. . .I’m seeing double beside
