Divorce

Of course
Your storm continues
No safe harbor within you
I'll stay with you
Remorse
Ill always stay
Forever yesterday
We can stay that way
Morse code
Encrypted mind
Addicted mind
Forgive in time
No force
Something changed
The pain explained
You seem unfeigned
Divorce
Separate ways
No anniversaries
That we will ever miss

The Douglas Fir

From the dawn
The foggy mourn
The silent grave
That lay awake
With no scratching
With no clawing
With no longing
With no returning
This simple time
This one time
I won't behave
I can't heal
With true emotion
With weakened hands
With battered soul
With no waking
He's has freedom
He should not
He should be
Where I lay
With shallow grave
With silent dawn
With foggy mourn
And lay awake

New Year Song

Name, what's your name? Able or Caine
Could we be the same? Gone, gone again
Feigning pain, are you the change?
Everything has lead to this
All the dreams I had are amiss
If you were the one to bring the change
I'm sad to say I'm still the same
Your lies still turn my pages
Tell me it's not true
Every chance turns to failure
Tell me I'm the fool
Shame, cold in vain, imposing fame
I never tried to berate you, but you're still taking aim
Change the truth, but not the game
Here we go again
Complaining up a storm again
My passive self absorption
Will lead my extortion
Your lies still turn my pages
Tell me it's not you
Every chance turns to failure
Tell me I'm the fool

The gray sky
seem to never fade off
into the light
that won't ever shine.
On a rainy day
you skin seems ever so soft
to the touch i can see again
in time
We'll stand out in the rain
wash away each others pain
It'll never be the same
Even in this storm I'll remain
I...will...
The rain and wind
blurs my sight of all but
you will keep
my soul warm.
The bright sun
spotlights our happiness
but in the rain can see the truth
in a storm
With...this...
girl holding me tight
telling me its alright
We'll grow out of this together
it will all get better.

No way home you say
Lovely faith, baby
Don’t wait up for me
Sad
Please don’t say maybe
I know why, baby
I can’t say your name
Sad
I’ll be right here, right here
Always right here, right here
Don’t be like me

A Way Out
04:41
|
|||
|
If I could crawl to you
The sun would not guide me
If I could beg for you
Who knows if I will succeed
Until the feeling dies
And your shadow fades
I will wonder why
No answer today
To find a way out
Its been so hard
To see the brighter side of this
When I'm in my car
I get lost in the headlights
The trees look scared
They are coming fast
Full speed, affair
As I break this glass
To find a way out
I wanna make the grade
I wanna bang my head
On the spear you made
And forget what I said

Ne Me Réveille Pas
04:58
|

|
Don't wake me up
I'm trying like hell to sleep
Don't wake me up
I'm trying like sin to dream
I'm trying to swim through this sea (Won't you please.. )
Don't call me up
I'm trying to stay down
Don't call me up
I'm trying to turn around
I'm trying to find the ground (look what you found)
I'm in the clouds
And so are you
I'm in the clouds
Now what to do
Everyone I knew faded to grey (like these clouds)
I am not drunk
The room is spinning on its own
I am not drunk
That smell you smell isn't me
What do you mean? I'm not wrong (did you write this song? No)
I'm right on the tracks
Feeling the good vibrations
I'm right on the tracks
It's getting louder and louder
I can't seem to move, I'm on the moon
Gone too soon

I've journeyed through this life
A sort of nothing child
Stumbling at the toes of my mother
With a blank nothing smile
No honest memories
No lovely lullabies
Just the fading sounds of Fairview
That house had some witnesses
I was one of them
A brother threatened my father
He was not blood to him
A broken windshield
A cold dish of food
And a future of resentful events
A finger to point all the blame
At everyone but him
A brother with no direction
Except a girl younger than him
I have some bitterness
I have grudges here
But I'll keep them in a journal by the wall
A concussion of mixed feelings
Do I truly feel hate?
For my brother who spouts these lies
Who jumped over the gate
He only falsified
Demonized, and heathenized
And he will not be crucified
I hope he reaches his paradise
In the lies that he's made
He's fooled his lover and made us all
Betrayers of his faith
I hope he's God
I hope they wash his feet
And I hope that knife cuts deep.

Dead Eye
04:14

Calm in your fight stance, it's always there in your mind
Your period of hurt, won't be the last, and it's not the first
So I ask your dead eyes if you're ready heal
Let's embrace, let's count the days you never hurt
Kept at arm's length, but I won't leave unless you want me too
You closed the door, like a lost dog I will wait right here
So I ask your dead eyes if you're ready heal
Let's embrace, let's count the days you never hurt
Alone with yourself
But can you see the truth (within)
This is not goodbye
So it is your call
So I ask your dead eyes if you're ready heal
Let's embrace, let's count the days you never hurt

This is Goodbye
05:44
|

|
As I crumble and fall
At the meaning of it all
And as the world I knew
Has changed red to blue
The sky has turned to grey
I don't know what else to say
You had a part of me
You had the best of me
This is not goodbye
Here's the bridge I cross
There you lay at a loss
Oncoming traffic ensues
None of them truly affect you
My rescue is coming late
Our love becoming fate
I had a part of you
I had the best of you
This is not goodbye
If I could spend eternity
In the arms of certainty
You know I would refuse
Because I truly need to
If I wanted guarantees
I would've stayed in me
I don't want to stay away
I don't want another day, but..
This is goodbye

Right now the walls are closing in
The wind is dying down
Welcome the ending
As daylight slips away
A thought of you still lingers unfortunately
Voices still yell at me to change my name
To end this game
I know you can hear me now
Can you help me change now
Change what I don’t believe?
I love the way we used to embrace
But can I escape?
They don’t believe that I can change
Welcome the ending
Stop!
Forget about all of this
Forget about the lies and trust
Just go live in the dark
Right now the walls are closing in
The wind is dying down
Welcome the ending

The silent grave
That lay awake
With no scratching
With no clawing
With no longing
With no returning
This simple time
This one time
I won't behave
I can't heal
With true emotion
With weakened hands
With battered soul
With no waking
He's has freedom
He should not
He should be
Where I lay
With shallow grave
With silent dawn
With foggy mourn
And lay awake
