The Risk/The War
03:42
|

We've traveled far
Still more to go
The miles stretch
Still more to go
The risk involved, I know
The war
The war we all are in here
We penetrate it to scratch the surface
The war we all are in here
We went the distance, the path resisted
The war we all are in here

Calm

Give me a rooftop so that I may scream
I'm in love with a ghost on the video
Could have sworn I felt her ghost
Sleeping on the bed's edge
I attempt to pull her closer
And your scent is all that's left
On this shirt I refuse to wash
Unaware of the nerves it calms
I wrap my face and breathe
The ghost is fading, please don't leave
The calm, the ghost it brings
The calm
Care to make the time gone, lost
Mending visits close distance
That tie my nerves in knots
Streets feature known strangers
In thought they fought, they lost
Are they teachers insistent
That we cannot prove them wrong
I wrap my face and breathe
The ghost is fading, please don't leave
The calm, her ghost it brings
The calm

Old Pictures

Voices raising
Truths shaping
We laugh at old pictures
Of home
You see my drinker's glare
While serving the severe
Your smile is never replaced
When you say, "get on your way"
For some time we were blinded
We were ragged
We were pensive
And peal off
Fruitless
Reaching for "who knows?"
You see my drinker's glare
While serving the severe
Your smile is never replaced
When you say, "get on your way"
Get on your way back home

The Thief

Thieves on top of me
Where friendships used to be
I guess that I'm just paranoid
Spunky fire-eyed kid
So much ambition
When will you ever bend the rules
Now he's saying he's not faltered
He's saying he's not even watered down
With a head the size of a mountain
No room for a thorny crown
Next time I swear I'll be better
Stop making promises
When I can't even keep my feet off the ground
'Cause he dances like an idiot
A TV evangelist
Doesn't like when you notice it
In fact it makes him a little pissed
So he takes it in small increments
Just enough to get his fix
Doesn't like when you notice it
In fact it makes him a little pissed
Pissed
Pissed
So, so pissed
You are the thief
All I see are facades hovering
They're following me
And now our time is done
You'll realize it doesn't hurt as much as you think
'Cause he dances like an idiot
A TV evangelist
Doesn't like when you notice it
In fact it makes him a little pissed
So he takes it in small increments
Just enough to get his fix
Doesn't like when you notice it
In fact it makes him a little pissed
You are a thief

The Proud/The Proven
02:28
|
|||
|
An extension of Harlow
We could only laugh
Only look back
Through the path of a bottle
Fixed in shaky hands
An end we should never know
We're all so young
You're the path that I follow
You are the weaver's threads
That go gold in the sunshine
You are the proud and the proven
To my erratic folds
That only open within your gold
And we're still so young
So young
