There's blood on the windshield
From the bugs who've been beaten by the world of the terribly grand
All's quiet in Pineville
We rolled up another to make each of us easier to stand
Tomorrow will come and then leave
Then the next day will come and we'll leave to go back to our home
And there's all kinds of places you'll go til you're gone
You'll put it in song as your days turn to memories
There's skin, then there's bones, then there's blood, then there's heart,
There's atoms, electrons, and strings
And finally there's you and me
And all of the hands that we'll meet
It's all just a part of the question that's posed unto each
If the world was up-side down
Then you would be smiling and I would be sure of all things
All of these trees we see
Are just empty palates for popcorn, and tinsel, and strings
When the old bell tolls
If you don't make heaven then each of us here are just fucking screwed
And there's all kinds of places you'll go til you're gone
You'll put it in song as your days turn to memories
There's skin, then there's bones, then there's blood, then there's heart,
There's atoms, electrons, and strings
And finally there's you and me
And all of the hands that we'll meet
It's all just a part of the question that's posed unto me

A Landslide Fall
04:11

You thought I would be rid of you
The sun burns bright and falls to the wayside
Maybe you'll change your mind with the five-year-olds selling you on Jesus
Now take your time, now plan your lines
You oughtta be satisfied
Now take your time, now plan your lines
Shadows will descend
And the words are spilling out of our pens
And the lines are drawing circles instead
And in a landslide fall it's been coming down
You wear those boots and I'll take you to the shore tonight
We are all learning how to grow old
It gets so hard when you cannot see the ground, so won't you
Lay me down
You thought all of the birds can sing
The moon turns white and falls to the wayside
Maybe you'll fall in line with the five-year-olds selling you on Jesus
Now take your time, now plan your lines
You oughtta be satisfied
Now take your time, now plan your lines
Shadows will descend
And the words are spilling out of our heads
And the lines are drawing circles instead
And in a landslide fall it's been coming down
You wear those boots and I'll take you to the shore tonight
We are all learning how to grow old
It gets so hard when you cannot see the ground, so won't you
Lay me down
Well I've been running out scared and running behind
Wanna make my name known in America
Won't you lay me down, lay me down, lay me down
In a landslide fall it's been coming down

Never Call It Back
03:46
|
|||
|
We own every breath we breathe
We ride in the backs of trucks
Please, awaken from your sleep
Please don't let this slip away
Because I was worried you were going to die
Never having been yourself
But I heard you singing softly, you sang
"Go out, make love to the world and never call it back"
We jump out along the way
To stare at the bears and the deer
Maybe you'll climb out from your window
Maybe there's a pill for this
Because I was worried you were going to live
Never having been yourself
But I heard you singing, and so I sang
"Go out, make love to the world and never call it back"
Well we'll go out swimming in the rain
We'll throw out our T.V.'s
We'll stay awake for way too long
But if we have to sleep
Then we'll all dream in vibrant colour and forever in 3D
We'll drink until we're sore then we'll wake up with skinned knees
And we will talk to every stranger, renounce electricity
We'll hang out singing "damn it all"
And if we're told to leave then we'll sing
"Go out, make love to the world and never call it back"

Outburst

I want you to know me
So you can tell me how I am
Cause it's been over a week since the choices I've made
Have made me feel like less of a man
Well I've been kicked out, I've been bitched out
Bought razors from a man with no soul
I've been dabbling in things that I'll probably regret
You could even say I have no control.
It seems like everyone I know
Is on the brink of falling apart
Or falling apart towards the brink of something
That will one day crush our hearts
If you could turn off my head!
Then I'd be a better man
I would be the moon in your perfect sky.
If you could turn off my head!
Then I'd be a better man
I could sleep, dream, make it through the night.
If you wish upon me darling
And then if you wish upon a star
And if you wish and wish forever
You'll see you've not gotten far
You see all these lights outside are bright
when all you want is the black of night,
So lay your head down, close your eyes
And I'll sing you this lullaby.
Here's an apology to every person
I've ever caused to weep
You know I will always forgive you
If you can never forgive me.
If you could turn off my head!
Then I'd be a better man
I would be the moon in your perfect sky.
If you could turn off my head!
Then I'd be a better man
I could sleep, dream, make it through the night.
And I am sick and tired of the things
That happen only in my dreams
I'm gonna mark my trail that leads toward
Your heart and to your jeans
And this is the day when winter turns to spring
As the fawn proceeds from birthing strife
Then the doe bends down and licks its young
Welcome to your life
If you could turn off my head!
Then I'd be a better man
I would be the moon in your perfect sky.
If you could turn off my head!
Then I'd be a better man
I could sleep, dream, make it through the night.
And this is my outburst.

Gie's A Wave
03:53
|

Slowly take the road going down the hill leading up to the park side
Count on all the Scots singing "give us a wave"
If there's doubt in your heart then I'll leave my thoughts in the P.O. Box
And when it overflows you can give them away.
It's sad that all your dreams may never come...
But the fireworks inside my head say "you will love"
I can't wait til the morning everything is going to be alright
And I can't wait to see the galloping leaves and the smile on your face
I would lay in my bed with the simple thoughts and the headphone drown out
There was pain in my jaw but the codeine haze made it feel okay
I guess your fears will turn to dust...
Cause the fireworks inside my head say "you will love"

City On Hold
06:07

Can we swim if we are stumbling?
Meet me out there in the road
Walk in line until we hit the bay
Then leave us to our own.
And we can be all that we want to
We can be a paper or a stone
We can keep living on eroding escarpments
Until the blinds are drawn
Celebrate the miles behind you
Dedication made us whole
Maybe patience never let you win
But it's taught me all I know.
And we can be all that we want to
We can be a paper or a stone
We can keep living off of caffeine and nicotine
Until the blinds are drawn
And you can take all that you want now
Just leave me the wind and the rain
Believe me, out here, in this city on hold
Maybe there'll be something more to say at the end of the day.
I have stood there in the long grass
Listening to the river's choir
Singing "there's a city beneath the city
And beneath our skin there's a fire"
And we can be all that we want now
We can be a paper or stone
We can keep living off smoke-stacked-skyways
Until the blinds are drawn
And you can take all that you want now
Just leave me the wind and the rain
Believe me, out here, in this city on hold
Maybe there'll be something more to say at the end of the day.
