All Along

The dust will settle when the winds die
Maybe then you can decide
The pavement ripped your jeans sliding
And the blood runs down your side
All Along
You threw yourself into the thralls
and laid there on the ground
Straight through is quicker than the long way
But it's hard to make it out
All Along
Not too sure what I thought would happen
When we joined the ranks at hand
Just don't step out of the group focus
When the camera starts to pan
All Along
it’s come down to placing everything in a pile
to incend
keep low under the smoke line
hold your breath and start to tread
Yeah, it's hard to get this close and take a hit
I know you'll try
I know you'll come and try again
But the scene that plays out clearly now
Is what you've overcome.
It's who you are.
It's who you've always been.
All Along

Under Daisies

A message like a hammer
Broke up system in the yard
Yeah the glass was sure a mess
No we didn't pas the test
As she bled out by the water
Looking down the Florida keys
Was it gouged in your eye?
Did you ever even try?
Well Jim knew then.
Well you taught us all we knew for what it's worth
Resemblence goes to show us who belonged at birth
I watched you claim the fold they were flailing around in droves
Where they ever supposed to know?
Man.
No return to sender
Mount you up in the living room
Where you'll have the birds eye
No you'll never miss a night
And you'll know then.
Well the grin was glossed once the good times came and went
You're calling favors wondering who don't know you're spent
We watched you light them up you were raining down like fire
leaving everyone to admire
was it the heat that turned you sour?
Now the wound begin's to ooze
And the dam starts to break loose
You had everything to lose
But under daisies is where you'll brood
Under daisies is where you'll brood

Revelry
03:40
|
|||
Slow and descend slip from the glow up ahead
watch the shadows creep up on the street
Blowing sideways and piling
All scattered on the banks
A deep red takes the canopy
Waiting on the next phase
A crack that runs the full length of the front wall
A floorplan made up for ceremony
Reaching up through the crevices
Searching for some relief
All that's left of your memory
Paved over in concrete
Over-coated and glistening
Run the script and refrain
At their core they will dissipate
All you taught will remain
Creeping up in the family
Not sure what it will take
While you soak in the revelry
Nothing left from it's wake

I.D.K.

It's like as if you never felt it
Creeping up under your nose
Take care
Unless you aren't with it
Warped straight to another zone
It's always better
In the first person
With glimpses of the real thing
You're left belly-up
Until it drags you
Under
Decide
If you're gonna wing it?
All that's left to carry out
It's always better
In the first person
With glimpses of the real thing
You're left belly-up
Don't let it drag you
Under

Hiya
02:34
|
|||
We're all alone nobody's coming
Into the void I hear it calling
All out of breath and now I'm hypnotized in you
Say it again I must have missed it
Something about we forced the exit
Trying to keep up but their all behind us now
Hiya
la da di da - I'm spent
Hiya
la da di da - it's bent
Hiya
la da di da - full send
There you go looking at me the same way you did that night
Here I am looking right back at you plateau the high
What's come undone?
Stare at the sun
They got the gun
So now we run

Blue Violet
03:05
|

A sudden steepness
We came upon near the base of the bridge
Painted steel beams rise and tower overhead
We look up in wonder at it
Try not to slip and hug the ground
As we tread along the edge with no other way around
The blue-violet flower you gave me
Soothe the rush
From up above we feel the shaking
The grind of the machine
It's hard to know what's beneath this
Kept so far from reach
We've come so far with still so far to go
So tell me where you've gone?
A tinge of coolness
Count all the layers through the slate
The taste of vapor and mold above a beach of opened clams
We reach down and feel the water
Try not to slip and hold the bank
As we lay in the shade draped beside the river's edge
Lay me down and let me watch as you ascend

Into The Particle
03:56
|
|||
Patience when
You're toeing the ledge
It will come back again
Blowing through the ridge
The brick will sway
The calm at midday
No cover no shade
just a howling foray
They'll never know that we were here

Hard To Breathe
04:25
|
|||
Soak up feel your fingers turn into prunes
Hear yells pulsing through the other room
It seems it's hard to breathe
Saw it off just before you get to the rot
Tie it up try to get the blood to clot
It seems nothing's free
Here it comes passing overhead
Too fast to trace a sillouette
Grab a hold, you made your bed
In the fridge there's only moldy bread
To get along is always easier said than done
Feel the warmth up ahead you start to run
It seems that you can breathe
Here it comes passing overhead
Too fast to trace a sillouette
Grab a hold, you made your bed
Some things are better left unsaid

Porches

A frame set up so clearly
Dim lit room, bleeding seams
Through the door, an ending
With a toast an ascending
And through the haze they just kept walking by
A carcinogen in it
When you’re just too with it
Looking for the exit or a way to persist
And I don’t think they get your whole frame of mind
Maybe come back later in due time
Tokens for your youth and padding for the fall
Started with a spring and ended in a crawl
Surgical precision left to those who can sell
Cauterize the wound but I can’t take the smell
It cost the whole evening
Busting all the fittings
Make it back to the reception
Answer all their dumb questions
But from this high up it’s too hard to tell
Come back down here - hold still - cool the swell
All the weight in those eyes
It’s hard to not polarize
On your way to a new high
“Don’t you get it” you said with a sigh

Other Plane
03:27
|
|||
A slow mist coats over
A mild afternoon
Through the clouds and windowpane
A beam that sets the room
You wait for some semblance
Gets harder to move
You look for a remnant to come
A shape or a figure to soothe
The dew of the morning
Steam pours from your cup
In a gust without warning
You’re left to try and clean up
|

Through The Gleam
02:51
|

Run your fingers through the curtains and seams
Dark and numb
Shaded from
Join in grateful for the customary
Going along is expected
You came you went and left it
As it all caves in
Watch the dust shake loose through the gleam
Doll you up before the pagentry
Shiny and New
Shining through
In the mud you'll show your pedigree
Going along is expected
You came you went and left it
As it all runs down
Through the hole you left in me
Our lead has strayed
straight through the pleasantries
Yielding
No yielding
Stars away
keep from the present day
Reeling
You're reeling
Shade your eyes with
The top of the windshield
Strobing glimpses
Amidst the shifitng trees
Can you make out what it means?

Sway
04:36
|
|||
It almost seems like candy in your teeth
In a glass case you’ll start your decay
Give your fortune take from them your fee
Like a beam that combs through the trees
I’m all ready completely to say
That I’m all ready completely to sway
As the years wash over this feat/face
through the ruins of what's left of me
I'm already completely to sway
Now I'm already completely to stay
burn through all the unearthly dismay
As the cards fall freely-where they may
