This one's gone

Something got lost along the way
All this confusion not we've got to pay
What if I said I would be com in back
I know my head got lost along the way
Tell me why do I have to say
Everything's alright and every thing is cool.
I'm saving my life for you
I'm giving you much more
Than you deserve
I'm living my life for me
I'm giving you much less
To preserve who I am
Futile flawed by design
Take by the head Lead by desire
Your promises are paper thin
Your smile is your disguise
Bring the bullets Ill take the gun
Shoot your killer Hit and run
We recognise transparency
Our will is undefined
This is my time Your are not mine
This is high tide You are not right
Promises
The undertow is pulling
Promises
This time I feel this one this one's gone

Picturesque

Your urge to action calls upon
Many more to stoke the coals
Your faith and its demands
Pay a higher price
To bent out of shape to see
You were living in a fantasy
See me down in your town
Picturesque and Overdressed
Things I left behind
Faces I could not see
Triumphs unfound
Illusions run free
Cannot come down
Cannot seem to sit still
Take a bow step back
and react accordingly

Nothing left to lose

My body is a broken down machine
Obselete and inconsequential
I state categorically for the record
Maybe a little difficult to understand
I withdrew from my membership
I refuse to account for the incidents that are put before me
All these misdemeanors to trival to pursue
Ego's are battered and bruised
The space between time is gone
I've nothing left to lose
I've nothing left to lose
So pray for me
I've gone down a road to long
There's no point in coming back
Compelling mysteries of ages
The trial of Jesuits and folly
I hurry now to arrive
I've broken the first rule of being
Most of the windows are occupied
all the streets are closed off
The only thing that remains is an idea of fire and fury
So little attention was paid to where we were actually going
Grind out our mutilated melodies
Like gramophones that have seen better days
Penetrate further with no time to spare
Bearing names and arms some of them familiar
Some of them still so very strange
so pray for me
I've nothing left to loose

Lifelines

Motion picture sets the scene
Black and white tv screen
Shadows on the wall
Dresses in the closet
Eyes peering out bodies on the shoreline
He paces on the stair
Knockin at the door
Body on the floor and murmurs in the background
Statements in the hall prescriptions on demand
Blind in the main frame open eyed and unashamed
This is the last time I come to offer lifelines
It's all but quiet now
So we got time to talk
Listen in on dirty men and wicked ways
A sip of rum now
You've got whiskey eyes
Prancin round the floor
Playful talk a secret smiles
Your bound to sink cause
your in your comforts guise
Secret handshakes
Nervous second thoughts
Tragic syndrome your pulling at the head
Casino royalty the stakes have been raised
Blind in the main frame open eyed and unashamed
This is the last time I come to offer lifelines

I wanna be things that I wanna be
I wanna see things that I wanna see
I wanna live well, surrender and care to remember
I wanna feel things that I wanna feel
I wanna pretend that this is for real
Retired and blissfully unaware
I saw the river touched by the sun
Sailin out west say goodbye to everyone
Kaleidescope mirrors reflect all you've done
Waitin on the winds of change to come
Packin up your bags leave it all behind
Paint your pretty pictures on a beautiful mind
You fly once again
I ramble on and I walk on the wire
Contemplate all my burning desires
Rack my brain for solutions and answers to science
The indent is broken I see no divide
Invade the idea I'll see you inside
The danger of distance nowhere to hide
I keep seeing oceans a cause to decide
You are all obscure
Out of sight not out of mind
Drive by on bended knee
Can’t wait to see

Skip the queue call in the favors
Watch your back cause your fenced in around
Closed up tight nailed to the cross
Keep a tight lip and pull up your feet
Day to day Hand to mouth
In the corner of the room don't laugh but stand tall
Listen tightly put it to bed
Day to day hand to mouth
Set in stone a new day is to come
Permission to pursue the offspring
People stare it may come as a surprise
but a man has got to have a code
Running round in circles missing the call
But I guess I guess you gotta beat the fall
I guess that i'm not going
I guess that i've been told
Ive got time to spend
We could stand about here waiting
Lookin closely for the condition of your favour
Tie up your tongue ruffle your feathers
Holding it back oh your playing it safe
It's stuck in my head often unclear
Pull it tightly bring up the rear
Day to day hand to mouth
Calling my bluff now you got my attention
Holding your breath caught in demand
day to day hand to mouth

Exiles

Empty eyes are all I see
Underneath a sea of green
Suffocating in this exchange game
Your demonstrating whats drained in you
And simulating whats left inside of you
Can you explain?
Nothing lasts forever
I need something to keep me straight
Equally relentless
So it’s not too hard to take
Callous and complete
No whisper of complaint
Your notable exceptions
Overstep the mark
I know I'll be seein you again
Deaf and dumb I cannot see
Blinded by all I have been
Eradicating whats left of you
Its dominating all this obtained truth
Im regulating all this framed rage
Stop gravitating in this unexplained abuse
Vanity plays tricks on
The hopelessly corrupted youth
Bound by all accepted rules
Do we dare Rebel?

Alarms

We pass the distant lights
I forgot my name
I hear alarms repeating
I fell by the side
It's the year time of year
When the sap starts to rise
Spring unfurls we face the sweet time of sun
I see colors where you see rain
I see peace where you see pain
The autumn of last see's us trim our sails
Fast tracked backwards with coffin nails
Hold your trophies on a pedestal
The old veneer is right
A parody of mistakes
A different set of rules
Your strong handed measures have given way
Your so called plan of action is put in place
I wanted to be just like you
I never hold it tight to what went before
I guess this is you
and I guess this is me
Don't fret don't fight
Don’t hold it tight don't holler.

All that I have is Penance for my sins
All laid to rest Letters for the bin
Ill be waving my white flag
Just to call a Truce
Saving what we had
Tell whats the use?
I for one want to lay to rest All my demons
I for one bleed in notions the seasons clean
Right from the start Everythings agreed
Plans to pull apart Everything you need
I get warnings from afar
No one's fool to roost
No compulsion to retire
No Hesitation here
I'm going down the same road again
Thinking about you two as friends
Leave no room for empty hands
What does it matter anyway?
Looking back I won't be afraid
Colour starts to drain from your face
Forget about the things that I know
Lobsided and turned out to the cold
All that I see As the arrows fly by fast
A common disregard
Of things that might not last
I'll be waving my white flag
With taciturn replies
Decline from open fire
Just to balance on the wire
I for one want to lay to rest all my demons
Time has coming to set in motion a healing breeze
To wipe it all out.

New Condition

Captivated by deception
Eager to break down
Detached and subsided
Yielded to temptation
Try to succumb to a new condition
Try to abandon restoration
Fool your intention
Transform your broken form
At the hands of magicians
Confusion defies your doom
Dramatic divisions
Control is slipping away
Agents of ambition
Products of the same machine
Masquerade about in fashion
To feed your illusion
Complete all your programs
To serve the delusion
Decay in suspended animation
Delay your disappearance
