10 Feet Thick
02:52
|

this one is for passion
a worn out trait that used to feel great
and this one is for pride
i had it yesterday i think i threw it away
this one is for fashion
the mask i wear that got me here
standing by your side
chorus:
i don’t understand i’m feeling
10 feet thick and the obvious trick is to
listen to everything you say
i’ll throw it up against the wall
to see if i can make it stick
i think a smarter man would simply just walk away
this one is for pleasure
the bait i took that got me caught on this hook
and this one is for pain
that familiar face i always seem to embrace
no longer can i measure
the length or the depth of the fellings that kept me
playing in this game
this one is for reason
i had it yesterday i think i threw it away
and this one is for rhyme
a parallel sound or a rhythm i found
this one is for leaving
well this is the part that breaks my heart but i won’t
do this one more time
i don’t understand i’m feeling
10 feet thick and it’s making me sick. i can’t
listen to a single thing you say
i’ve thrown it up against the wall
to see if i could make it stick
but i’m a smarter man

Blackbird
04:27
|

fly blackbird fly
above the painted blue sky
an illusion, if you see yourself
looking back
you will die
sing blackbird sing
do you recognize the beauty you bring?
a shame you go unnoticed
when your song shines brighter
than a diamond ring
you think no one’s listening
they don’t understand
all looking for bright birds
your shiny black feathers
fall in my hand
think i understand
i hear your pretty songs
black as your feathers
more color than bright birds
a change in the weather
is coming fast
will your song last
through the night?
fly blackbird fly
you stand out against the naked blue sky
where bluebirds all get lost
fade out to grey
their colors die
sing blackbird sing
in your beak you hold a silver ring
the song you’ve been working on
verse after verse is a string
of complex thoughts
all tied in knots
that spin a rope
and bring us hope
through the night

Games

sunk so low there’s nowhere
left to go but up
not 1/2 full, not 1/2 empty
just a single drop of blood in my cup
the illusion i’d risen above
games people play
seems i haven’t outgrown my toys
at the end of the day
even those of who lay claims
to not playing games are playing
a quiet game of avoiding games
but i place no blaim
it’s human nature and we all
gotta play in some way
but at the end of the day
just be careful not to leave
a path of hell to pay
well ok, your move
chorus:
we play games
to distract and amuse ourselves
we go down
most times we just abuse ourselves
in flames
wanna feel a fire burnin’ in my soul
not be fuel for a fire burnin’
out of control
in too deep but i refuse to creep
further in
have we rewritten the rules
so neither kings nor fools can win?
gotten so low but i refuse to go
further down
you may continue the circus
but i’ll no longer be your clown

Flower

i’ve gotta hold back
can’t let it all loose right now
it’s hard to get back
and god knows i’ve never known how
i want to fly now
i want to jump before i think
time after time
these feelings push me
to the brink
i want to jump in
the best and worst life has to give
time after time
it seems to think is not to live
chorus:
it’s hard to carry this heavy load
when you’re ready to explode
i’ve gotta hold back
can’t let it all loose right now
it’s hard to get back
and god knows i’ve never known how
i want it right now
despite the warning signs
i want to make it mine
like a flower waiting to be
kissed by the light of day
you’ll come out and play
in your own sweet time
around in circles
i’m drunk with thinking and
you’re the wine i’m drinking
i’ve got to hold back
can’t force the climax at the start
it’s hard to hold back the fever
of my screaming heart
let me out, set me free
i need to escape, i need to breathe
but then again, what does it mean to be a friend
but then again, why start if it’s only gonna end
it’s gonna unfold, it’s gonna open up this time
this gorgeous flower, it’s for the world
it’s not just yours and mine

Push
02:24
|

There comes a time when you push push push push push
There comes a time when you feel pushed
There comes a time when you fall fall fall fall fall
There comes a time when you feel small
But you can never run away
no you can never run away
There comes a time when you feel feel feel feel feel
There comes a time when it is real
There comes a time when rise rise rise rise rise
There comes a time when nobody denies
Yeah you can never run away
no you can never run away
you can never run away
you can never run away

City of Angels
03:27
|
|||
with a broken heart and a broken home
me and a dream and a bottle on the road alone
miles of highway and desert motels
last drops of water from the bottom of empty wells
the believers in the bars
along the walk of fallen stars
fleeing for fame like looking for god
but the fables in the bible you believed were just a facade
in the city of angels where you gotta believe
but the holy are falling and the prophets are born to deceive
the believers in the bars
along the walk of fallen stars
Chorus
at the end of the earth, maybe the end of times
burnt out by the rhythm, tired of the rhymes
an angel told me there’d be hell to pay
and i knew it was time to get myself out of LA
prayin’ for vision in a church of deceit
on the coast where the poets all go to get back on their feet
one step forward, two steps back
putting faith in counterfeit saints to give us purpose we lack
the believers in the bars
along the walk of fallen stars
another broken dream and a fallen star
everything i own in the back of a broken down car
a promise of angels and a palace of gold
was just a deal with the devil where my soul was stolen then sold
Chorus
after the famine, flood, and fall of Rome
once seemed like hell, now it’s good to be back home
