Doubt In My Mind
04:20
|
|||
|
Staring ahead in a row on a Sunday morning
Idols and incense, rituals and rites
No matter how bored I get, I can look down another aisle
Three rows up and to the left we catch eachother's smile
And that doubt in our minds
From that doubt in my mind
Staring ahead in a line to cast a ballot
Candidates that make no sense is my democratic right
No matter how bored I get, I can look at another line-up
Over in "R to Z", we catch eachother's smile
And that doubt in our minds
From that doubt in my mind
There's that doubt in her mind
From that doubt in my mind
You gotta have faith and believe in something
Cause this life that you make is uncertain
The sorrow we face has to mean something
Or this life in that grave means nothing
She's back in my head, whenever I let my guard down
A strange girl's face presents... a window into old love
But windows turn into mirrors when you look to closely
So no matter how I try to forget, I'll always see her smile
And that doubt in our minds
From that doubt in my mind
There's that doubt in her mind
From that doubt in my mind

Linger On
04:19
|

|
Early morning waker... I wish that I could stay for now
Daylight is a taker... Shadows slowly fading out
In the empty space there's... Still a little trace of you
That lingers on... you linger on... after I'm gone
When I'm busy chasing... Sun along the burning sky
Everybody's racing... Or they're only left behind
Anything I'm facing... Slowly fades away but you linger on
You linger on... the only one... you linger on
Finally find my way home... The day's already passing by
I'll be fine to say "No"... To anyone who wants our time
I wish that I could let go... But something on my mind lingers on
It lingers on... After I'm home... it lingers on... and on
Early morning waker... I wish that I could stay for now
Daylight is a taker... Shadows slowly fading out
In the empty space there's... Still a little trace of you
That lingers on... after I'm gone... you linger on

Her Rosary
03:36
|
|||
|
Her Rosary hangs from the rearview mirror
Watching her hold back another tear
The lines on her face are getting clearer
Its harder to make'em disappear
But giving herself up for everyone near her
Makes it easier
Easier to have the patience of a flower in bloom
Its hard to do
The back seat's empty and in silent sight
Where all the memories come back to life
Like seeing her children grow up before her eyes
She wonders if they'll be alright
As she loosens her grip on the wheel so tight
To realize
Realize to have the patience of a flower in bloom
Is hard to do
Asphalt rushes by like a river
White lines become fish passing under
Floating by to have the patience of a flower in bloom
So hard to do
Her Rosary hangs from the rearview mirror

Turn Out The Light
05:11
|
|||
|
We’re out on a limb, slowly spiraling
On a lonely rock in the only way
On it goes again
One more silent rotation with an unknown destination
Like a seed in the wind
One more revolution overthrows the clock
We’re marching around with the second hand
Heading back to the top
Well that’s a simple explanation for a complex situation
That’ll never stop
Turn out the light, it’s time to face this night
A simple twist and you’re on your own spinning like a top
Dancing away on the table
Weighted so you just may never stop
And when you find out that you’re racing towards an unknown destination
Don’t give it up
Turn out the light, it’s time to face this night
Spinning round and round, spinning round and round
Spinning round and round to face this night

Revolution
04:51
|
|||
|
All I want is just one chance
To get myself out of this circumstance
All I've got are these two hands
But to you that's of no consequence
You think about love like a revolution
I've been thinking... out loud
Its time to turn things... around
All you need is love to sound
Like it'll shake sacred ground
I need a love to slow down
From spinning around and 'round
You think about love like a revolution
I've been thinking... out loud
The time for change is... now... right now
You think about love like a revolution

Dangerous Stranger
05:00
|
|||
|
I know you know, when I know I'm almost done
And you wait so late to confiscate my fun
Your eyes tell lies to the judge that you've become
So please leave this hollow scene together as one
Cause I'm a dangerous stranger to our love
We're faking baking soda to clean the drain
How many pennies must we spend until we save?
Compare the air, fresh off freezing rain
And I'll pretend to friends that I don't feel pain
Cause I'm a dangerous stranger to our love
All these books with wooden hooks that songs mistook for gain
Show blisters from the sisters who recite their claims
This old tree with its leaves inside the breeze complains
Cause consent wasn't meant to blow its leaves away
You feel this deal is Highway Sixty-One
Cause you confuse what's real with what I become
I know you know, when I'm almost done
So please lets leave this scene before I become
A dangerous stranger to our love
A dangerous strangerous kind of love

My Love Stays Dry
04:48
|
|||
|
Its so humid, I'm living in a cloud
As the thunder rumbles a distant sound
Waiting for the rain with no one around
My love for you stays dry
The daytime sun takes its cover and hides
From the penance that the storm decides
It sends the lightning to wake tired eyes
But my love for you stays dry
The sky surrenders all its tears, despite
The raging winds ready for a fight
All the birds refrain from flight
As my love for you stays dry
Then lightning strikes, like the 1st Round's bell
That signals the boxers, its time to tell
Whose thunder cracks the gates of hell
Still my love for you stays dry
Then suddenly time gambles with math
As the discourse leads to a lesser path
Like a joke being told without a laugh
My Love for you stays dry
The birds peak out from the shelter they sought
For signs the noise from the sky has stopped
Their nerves are calmed by the lessons they've been taught
Still my love for you stays dry
So many shades of green can come to life
In the absence of earth's purest light
The wet colours all ignite
So many shades of green appear
In the absence of what's clear
The wet colours all ignite
So out this window, I continue my gaze
As the storm and sun create a foggy haze
All this weather may have its ways
But my love for you stays dry
A lonely train that's destined far
Carries me with it, despite the scar
Of the storm I left over all that you are
Still my love for you stays dry

The Deep Cuts
07:16
|
|||
|
I don’t want to feel guilty for something I haven’t done
Only want to do the right thing when the time comes
I don’t know where you’re coming from
But if we don’t go on together we’re both stuck here alone
Sometimes it ends this way and everything changes
Deep cuts can heal someday but the scars stay
Wouldn’t take much to make you feel small
Wouldn’t have to say anything at all
I can push it down but it creeps back up
So I’ve got to let it out ‘cause I can’t shut it up
Sometimes it ends this way and everything changes
Deep cuts can heal someday but the scars stay
I am a man and I can't understand
I am a man so I won’t understand
No I won't understand
I don’t want to give in but I know we’ve had enough
That door has opened and we’ll never get it shut
I don’t know where we’re coming from
But we’re going on together cause we can’t stay here alone
Sometimes it ends this way and everything changes
Deep cuts can heal someday but the scars stay

Full Sky
04:20
|
|||
|
Full sky raining stars
Full sky raining stars for you
To show me where you are
To show me where I am from you
It'll take time to get a little bit closer
It'll take time to be with you
Sharp stone water made
Sharp stone water made for you
Deep blood floats away
Deep blood floats away from you
It'll take time to get a little bit closer
It'll take time to be with you
I don't know what it is... but I can't go on like this
It'll take time to get a little bit closer
It'll take time to be with you

Feeding Time
04:21
|

|
I’ve been waiting patiently, my friend
All the others down the line
Don’t know how true I’ve been
Just the faintest sign
And baby you’ll be mine
We’re only links along the chain
Fastened for a time
Far above you I will glide
Hidden from unsuspecting eyes
I see you in your weakest
And I spiral into a dive
All apologies I offer
And my humble gratitude
One hundred thousand years I’ve had
To train my sights on you
I’m afraid that there’s no other choice
This is where you join me
Turn the tables and you’ll see that I need you
As much as you need me
You can try to find some sense in all of this
Or laugh it all away
I train my sights on you
