Ever-loving Father is it true
Someone loves the Devil if not you?
Silver sails may drag me out to sea
Does that make it harder now for me?
I want to fly
So high
Close to you
I could touch you
Like you never left
Touch you and hear your breath
Touch you like you never left me
Hear you say you're watching over me
And you're proud of all you see
And your Holy Ghost is free

Beyond Beams
03:17
|
|||
|
Lost in a thought
You burn up a hot hue beyond beams
The gaps in the sky are the shape of your eyes
Far in a dream
So much was said that it rattles your head
And it comes undone
Naming the price of how you sacrifice love
For some fun
And it goes all in my mind
The ways that we suffer are all undercover
Hidden between
Dealers of poor hands and weak-willed grandstands
Never to be seen
I can carry my own bags adorned with red flags
Hidden from view
Once I had chased it and now to replace it
Could be you
And it goes all in my mind
Where would I be without you?
Who would I be without you?
Where would I be without you?
How would I be without you?
And it goes all in my mind

Grow Love Inside
04:56
|
|||
|
People try to face the light
With my face I've often tried
Hold your place and hold me close
The room is getting bright
I'm not saving up for me
It's a heaven that I see
Something greater than myself
A perfect harmony
All this trouble lead me to your name
Wide awake and dreaming with the rain
Then you smile and you fight
Please take me apart
And take the love inside

Brave the Gift
04:29
|

|
Take this windy city for a ride
In your dreams I held your hand in mine
Write your name down list out what you do
In your dreams a hand reached out for you
Will you arrive without fear?
Will you feel alive and sincere?
Will you start to thrive or linger
outside with dusty finger?
I'm not fake
Just pretending I will make a tune begin
I'm not always this way

This Happy Home
03:29
|

|
Age to age inside our house
How we start to forget not to shout
I am reaching out
To count you a friend or foe
Are we not alone?
Are we in a happy home?
Will you stand inside and divide this throne?
I am reaching out
To count you, friend
To count you, foe
Are we not alone?
Was it fate to age inside our house
And forget how to live with the ones who shout?
I'm just reaching out
To love you, my friend
To love you, my foe
Are we not alone?
Are we in a happy home?

Pretty Things
03:46
|

|
Too many pretty things at my door
Too many people I can't ignore
I just want to feel it from the floor
There're too many pretty things in the night
Too many lovers are out of sight
I just want to see you in the light
Well, I'm just wasting all my time with the world that I can see
There're too many pretty things killing me
Too many pretty things on the stage
Too many voices inside a page
I just want to free you from your cage
Well, I'm just wasting all my time with the world that I can see
There're too many pretty things killing me
In the summer
I'll see you in the summer, girl
I'll see you in the summer world
I'll see you in the summer
Too many pretty things walking by
Too many messages in the sky
I just want a meal and I want to feel high
Is that too much to ask?
There're too many pretty hurting me
Too many judges with no jury
I just want to sing and then be free
Well, I'm just wasting all my time with the world that I can see
There're too many pretty things killing me

Even Your Head
06:03
|
|||
|
I came to feed my head
To see it all shine through my eyelid
I came to lose my face
To feel it all drop onto my page
I was with you all night
I knew your name, but I never knew your eye
I tried to lose control
Instead I found it tightened up my hold
I needed something
So I've eaten something
To fly
I was with you all day
I knew your fame, but I never knew your fate
I tried to hold your hand
Instead I found a soul-fulfilling band
I needed something
Oh I've eaten something
I've eaten something
Oh I needed something to die
I know you are the only one for me
I know you are free

Operator

|
Operator are you a ghost are you gone?
Disconnected, no one needs help with their call
Not who you were
You're not this at all
No one needs help with a call
You're not who you were
So be something more
You're caught in the door
In the morning, come from a dream to the lawn
There you can see them, lighting the way for us all
Not who you were
You're not this at all
No one needs help with a call
You're not who you were
So be something more
You're caught in the door
Mr. Clock Winder turn it back before the dawn
You'll run out of power with hands running against the wall
Not who you were
You're not this at all
No one needs help with a call
You're not who you were
So be something more
You're caught in the door
Well, this is old
Stand still and do what you are told
Give up unless I say sympathy
Be someone worthy
But don't get mad
I'm not blame
I'm yours

Just T.A.
04:52

You spoke of fire in the chapel
A voice inside of every wall
You taught the mighty how to whisper
In a prayer, in us all
You held me under holy water
A voice so soft and far away
You dry my face off with your smile
You always knew what to say
I'm not like you
I can't say it like you
You sit and listen
Sit and listen
I taste the silence
And I understand
You love to listen to me
Even when it's hard, you'll be my friend
With your whole or part
You gave your daughter to the future
She grew up in a song
Your voice was soft like a lion
You always knew the right from the wrong
You came to burry and to marry
A servant to the Son of Man
Your voice was tired so you wrote it all down
Now our hearts are all open
I'm not like you
I can't say it like you
You sit and listen
Sit and listen
I taste the silence
And I understand
You love to listen to me
Even when it's hard, you'll be my friend
With your whole or part, you've always been
So loving
So giving
Understanding
Such a lover
A father
A grand father

This Halfway Home
03:05
|

|
How high will your moon shine
Keep us together and make you a home?
Inside, decorate with light
Light as a feather
It makes you a stone
But you're a white rose
Something we can't hold
You're shining down like a ghost
You're so hard to see
Hard to see
You're hard to see, my friend
You're hard to see
So you strike a pose
Something like zero
You're trying to make the most
Of the open sea
How high till it's outside
When heaven's only half right
It's halfway home?
Halfway home
You're halfway home, my friend
You're halfway home
You're halfway there

I Am With You
06:41

Breakdown discover
What it takes to gaze into your eyes
I could ask the sun if no one is
Why're you getting lost?
You're getting lost
Shakedown uncover
What it takes to hold you in my arms
Speak to the sun
Ask when the light will come
And I feel good about the way I am with you
Yes I feel good about the way I am with you
Come crease along my page
The kind of mark you can't erase
Waiting just to wait
You're getting lost
You're getting lost
Discover you
I'm taking it easy
You know it's hard as can be now
I am about to discover you
And I feel good about the way I am with you
Yes I feel good about the way I am with you
I've gone long enough without you
I see no reason to doubt why I feel good
When I look into your eyes
And I feel good about the way I am with you
Yes I feel good about the way I am with you
Discover you

Kings of Love
04:17
|

|
There is a tower in your eyes
Walls of book covers flash then fly
In your cold lashes I thought I knew
What is left of love grew
In this garden there's always room
Walls of your flowers dance in bloom
In the toughness of your hands I knew you
All the books of love were true
Whether Frost, Elliot, Thomas, Tynneson, Browning,
Shakespeare, Stevens, Poe, Wilde
With a rose, lavender, daffodil, marigold, larkspur
Iris, tulip, zinnia, lily
You're love

As a favor to you, I'll put you through
It's the way that you write
Write something new
May I have your name?
It's Roman Pax
Okay, just relax
If we all looked the same, would it be okay?
Is there someone like you, two lips this way?
As a matter of fact if you would just relax
Roman Pax
I looked to Janus, swam the planet inside my bed
Laid under water, felt the steam roll off my head
And you know it's okay to live this way
If we spell it the same, still can't relate
It's our payment to love the same lie
I never want to live this way
But you know it's okay
We all breathe through our face
In, in down on your day
Spreading round words, yes
But you have to say
I love you
I love you
I looked to Janus, swam the planet inside my bed
Laid under water, felt the steam roll off my head
I love you
I love to

Not a Rose for Emily
03:39

Emily finds
Staring at all the lines
Words to poems and rhymes meant for another
Emily knows
When smiling at every rose
Her heart is blind
And she looking for so much more
Talking to another door
Living with one less shoe
Emily tried
Loving her wrinkled eyes and silver lines
Emily wait
I'm right outside your gate
Waiting for another
Living with one less shoe
I'm outside your gate
Stray dog today
Emily wait

Gone to Sea

Gone to sea
The fire can't follow me
In the air
In the air I feel
I feel you are their
And in the crowds of waves
Surrounding all of my dreams of you
There's a spark in the darkness surrounding
Shine now like the moon
My brother it's okay
Don't bother with the waves
They'll wash over you
And sister don't you cry
Looking at the light
If you hide, you'll never see
Gone to see
The wound can finally breathe
In the air I feed
A fire which holds my stare
My brother it's okay
Don't bother with the waves
They'll wash over you
And sister don't you cry
Looking at the light
If you hide, you'll never see
And in the crowds of waves
Surrounding all of my dreams of you
There's a spark in the darkness surrounding
Shine now like the moon

Lily-Boned Romancer
07:26
|
|||
|
Even with a fever he’s a bonafide believer
So he says a prayer on the telephone
Dreaming of a lover with her arms wrapped ‘round the cover
Of a book of thoughts alike his own
She’s a Lilly-boned romancer with a father sick of cancer
Just an honest face with a Tiger heart
Tying shoes on Sunday for the little ones who run play with her
Skipping stones she can feel it start
On a beach road of golden grass
He runs with wind upon his back
Promises ma he’ll be home soon
But he likes to hide his head in trees
Hear the riverbed and leaves that sigh
Beneath the sky in June
Well, the water’s cold upon his lonely feet
He wonders in the sun for heat
And sees the shadow of her twirl
In a moment the death of every sum
She motions for him to run
And face to face their smiles curl
Above the world
Handing him an apple she said
I noticed you in chapel
Want to run away with me
And lose track of time
I’m his arms she takes a closer look
She reads the cover of his book
Begins to love by pantomime
Not they’re split soup of Sunday’s
And they’re saving up for one day
Will they’ll build a house out of clay and stone
But the letters that he sent her with his poems just torment her
And she drives all night and feels alone
The funeral that saved her
When her mama finally gave her
Bought a wedding dress for her little girl
He’s the man who’ll kiss in the morning light
And sniff wild flowers every night
He'll make her laugh
And then she’ll twirl
Above the world
