Take a look in the pool and what do you see
In the dark depths there faces beckoning me
Can't you see them it's plain for all to see
They where there oh I know you don't believe me
Oh... I never felt so strange
But... I'm not going insane
I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head
You don't say but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there I don't know what to do
Oh... they drain my strength away
Oh... they're asking me to stay
Nightmares... spirits calling me
Nightmares... they won't leave me be
All my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool
Now... I feel they are so near
I... begin to see them clear
Nightmares... coming all in time
Nightmares... will give me piece of mind
Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into that pool
Can't you see not just me they want you too
Oh... we'll drown together
It... will be forever
Nightmares... forever calling me
We all have moments
Frozen for, no reason
What we say, what we do
Self-portraits
Don't be afraid
We can fall no further
Than beyond the edge of our perceptions
Before my eyes
I see you like an alibi
It's not like it used to be
Do you ever wonder
Why we remember and why we forget
As you watch yourself
In the fire of a cigarette
Or prevent the demolition of a
Large public building
Before my eyes
I see you like an alibi
It's not like it used to be
Every picture in a special frame
They remain the same
Still life
Dawn breaking through a silver sky
You and I
Still life
Before my eyes
I see you like, an alibi
It's not like it used to be
You see what's right and what's wrong
A kiss to drown in
Sweet child of paradise
Each eye cuts it's own diamond
Every picture in a special frame
They remain the same
Still life
Dawn breaking 'cross a silver sky
You and I still life
Every picture in a special frame
They remain the same
Still life
Dawn breaking 'cross a silver sky
Still life
Frozen like a tear cried in your dreams
Still -
Your life is better for the tears
Your life is richer for the dreams
Still you live and you may weep and you may love
For there are so many ways
Still life
Water colour days there in your eyes
Still -
Your life is better for the past
Your love is richer for the pain
Still you live and you may weep and you may love
For there are so many ways
Still love
Love is never lost and love you find
Still - (Love will see another way)
Your love is sleeping in your mind (Live and love another day)
And you are waking in your dreams
Still you live and you may weep and you may love
For there are so many ways
Still life
While standing naked at the window watching the night
The thunder crashing all the lightening and the rain
I wondered if I could or even if I should
Attempt to see you or be with you ever again
Your smile is painted on a thousand faces
Still lying in my mouth still blowing through my hair
My legs are strong but they won't carry me away
Keep hiding sheets of lead what's that the things you
said
While eyes are heavy they won't promise me to sleep
Your smile is painted on a thousand places
What of me now as I fade still life goes by
Cold sweat you haunt my skin
Your fingers echoing your name is written here in blood
of life of sin?
Still burning on my bed your light goes out I'm dead
Who says the heads the law has nothing left to break
Your smile is painted on a thousand dreams I can't forget
What of me now as I fade still life goes by
Its the way that you repair the broken parts
Its the way that you assemble
and its wondering that keep the stops and starts
Oh, this still life has its virtues
'cause everything in motion leaves
or is just left behind
and I don't think it could hurt you
it gets colder
holding out
holding out
holding out
There are days when I remember what's been lost
there are days that I have forgotten
like an old friend that moved to Canada
and I held it up
and I held it out
and I stay...
Oh, this still life has it virtues
'cause everything in motion leaves
or is just left behind
and I don't think it could hurt you
Oh, this still life has it virtues
'cause everything in motion leaves
or is just left behind
and I don't think it could hurt you
to stay a little while
only for awhile
Jackdaw watches sunset
From the telegraph pole
At five to three in yellow light
As black as shiny coal
Still life
The world is stopped and waiting
The clock has frozen still
Except for half a million eyes
That wander to the thrill
Of still life
Fading primrose turns to pink
Shadows play dark hand
To mark a place he floated
When he knew he couldn't land
Still life
There's preserved forever
Still life six below
The most perfect impression
Of a wingbeat in the snow
(Hammill)
Citadel reverberates to a thousand voices, now
dumb:
What have we become?
What have we chosen to be?
Now, all history is reduced to the syllables of
our name-
nothing can ever be the same:
now the Immortals are here.
At the time it seemed a reasonable course
to harness all the force
of life without the threat of death,
but soon we found that boredom and inertia
are not negative, but all the law we know,
and dead are will and words like survival.
Arrival at immunity from all age, all fear and
all end...
why do I pretend?
Our essence is distilled
and all familiar taste is now drained,
and though purity is maintained
it leaves us sterile,
living through the millions of years,
a laugh as close as any tear;
living, if you claim that all
that entails is breathing, eating, defecating,
screwing, drinking,
spewing, sleeping, sinking ever down and down
and ultimately passing away time
which no longer has any meaning.
Take away the threat of death and all you're
left with is a round of make-believe.
Marshal every sullen breath and though you're
ultimately bored by endless ecstasy
it's still the ring by which you hope to be
engaged
to marry the girl who will give you forever-
it's crazy, and plainly
that simply is not enough.
What is the dullest and bluntest of pains,
such that my eyes never close without feeling it
there?
What abject despair demands an end
to all things of infinity?
If we have gained, how do we now meet the
cost?
What have we bargained, and what have we
lost?
What have we relinquished, never even knowing it
was there?
What thoughts now of holding fast the line,
defying death and time?
Everything we had is gone,
everything we laboured for and favoured more
than earthly things reveals the hollow ring
of false hope and false deliverance.
But now the nuptial bed is made,
the dowry has been paid:
the toothless, haggard features of eternity
now welcome me between the sheets
to couple with her withered body - my wife.
Hers forever,
hers forever,
hers forever
in still life.
This still life is all I ever do
There by the window quietly killed for you
In the glass house my insect life
Crawling the walls under electric lights
I'll go into the night, into the night
She and I into the night
Is this still life all I'm good for too?
There by the window quietly killed for you
And they drive by like insects do
They think they don't know me
They hired a car for you
To go into the night, into the night
She and I into the night
And this still life is all I ever do
There by the window quietly killed for you
And this still life is all I ever do
But it's still, still life
But it's still, still life
Its the way that you repair the broken parts
Its the way that you assemble
and its wondering that keep the stops and starts
Oh, this still life has its virtues
'cause everything in motion leaves
or is just left behind
and I don't think it could hurt you
it gets colder
holding out
holding out
holding out
There are days when I remember what's been lost
there are days that I have forgotten
like an old friend that moved to Canada
and I held it up
and I held it out
and I stay...
Oh, this still life has it virtues
'cause everything in motion leaves
or is just left behind
and I don't think it could hurt you
Oh, this still life has it virtues
'cause everything in motion leaves
or is just left behind
and I don't think it could hurt you
to stay a little while
only for awhile
we're crossing you in style
Weird scenes are coming through the airwaves
From a flickering tube
An old film with an older theme
And those actors could be us
But the ending is good so I'm thinking
"There's the rub"
Later when we meet
It's emotion going through the motions
A kick to break up or a kiss to make up
But then there'll be another scene
Like the one yesterday
When we say hello, we mean goodbye
Feigning paradise, wanting to cry
Love, all our passion I'm sorry to say
Is part of the game we play
So we're into action on cue
And go spinning like a reel
Summing up this relationship
And the way I feel
I think maybe we should go on out
Into the moonlight, out of the spotlight
And examine where we are and where we've been to
Where we're going is down without a happy ending
When we say hello we mean goodbye
Feigning paradise, wanting to cry
Love, all our passion I'm sorry to say
You walked the line all your life
You never thought you'd have to change it
You're always there to give advice
You never thought you'd have to take it
It's still life but it's broken
It's still life when it's torn
It's still life that you're walking
On and on and on and on and on
You need to change, you don't know how
Your life could use a reformation
If you could see you as I see you now
I know you'd change the situation
It's still life but it's broken
It's still life when it's torn
It's still life that you're walking
On and on and on and on and on
It's always someone else's fault
You're always right, you're never wrong
You think that life's a game but this is real
You think you can just walk away
And leave destruction in your wake
But you're not walking anywhere near
Is it still life if you are drowning?
Is it still life when you fall?
Is it still life when you can't carry
On and on and on and on and on?
It's still life but it's broken
It's still life when you're torn
It's still life when you're walking
On and on and on and on and on and on
It's still life but it's broken
It's still life but it's torn
It's still life but you're walking
On and on and on and on and on and on and on
It's still life
Still life
Frozen like a tear cried in your dreams
Still -
Your life is better for the tears
Your life is richer for the dreams
Still you live and you may weep and you may love
For there are so many ways
Still life
Water colour days there in your eyes
Still -
Your life is better for the past
Your love is richer for the pain
Still you live and you may weep and you may love
For there are so many ways
Still love
Love is never lost and love you find
Still - (Love will see another way)
Your love is sleeping in your mind (Live and love another day)
And you are waking in your dreams
Still you live and you may weep and you may love
For there are so many ways
Parted lips, two eyes too tight
Remember all of the lines
It's so hard to keep a straight face
When I'm talking to myself
Sunset in a solemn way
Headlights on the overpass
If it gets worse you don't have to stay
Any longer than you please
Sit tight, don't make a move
You were always one to let it come to you
Sometimes that doesn't work
Sometimes you gotta stand up and shake that ass
False hopes in a well lit room
Dead dreams on a photograph
I could let it get to me like it gets to you
But I think I'll leave it in the past
You can't blame me
For giving up so fast
New lies won't stop the crowd
It's just another thursday night
But I'm gonna grow out my hair
Throw yesterday to the wind
I'm gonna move out west, leave this still life
New shoes on an old wood floor
You're counting on the next ten minutes
Gonna stop time, gonna get the girl
But this isn't television, kid
Brown eyes in a white walled room
Colorblind with a thing for music
You say "love" is your favorite word
But you never find the time to use it
Scraped kness in some new old jeans
You bought 'em at a store downtown
They don't make you any younger
But you like how they feel
On the skin that you hold so close
Insecure, but you think no no one knows
What it's like to want to live and die at the same time
You can't blame me
For giving up so fast
New lies won't stop the crowd
It's just another thursday night
But I'm gonna grow out my hair
Throw yesterday to the wind
I'm gonna move out west, leave this still life
New words on a plain white page
Old songs on the radio
Found love on friday night
To think you didn't want to go
Touched lips on another's skin
Small words in a big blue sky
I hated life before I found that song
Now everything's alright
You can't blame me
For giving up so fast
New lies won't stop the crowd
It's just another thursday night
But I'm gonna grow out my hair
Throw yesterday to the wind
The still life
Is all I ever do
There by the window
Quietly killed for you
In this glass house
My insect life
Crawling the walls
Under electric lights
I'll go (into the night)
Into the night
He and I
Into the night
Is this still life
All I'm good for too
There by the window
Quietly killed for you
And they drive by
Like insects do
They think they don't know me
They hired a car for you
To go (into the night)
Into the night
He and I
Into the night
And this still life
Is all I ever do
There by the window
Quietly killed for you
And this still life
Is all I'm good for too
There by the window
Quietly killed for you
And this still life
Is all I ever do
But it's still
Still life
Sadness is a little boy looking
Out the window high above the city,
Counting statues of people on the buildings,
Thinking that the people are forever,
He wants his father to be a statue,
On the rooftop of his fatherless home,
So that he can always see him,
So that he will never leave him,
Late at night in the darkness of his dreaming,
His father's words fall down in a rainstorm,
And the words become hands that will guide him,
Through his life in the world just beginning.
You cannot live in bronze or stone,
Make your life in flesh and bone.
Stranded is a man no longer searching
For the life he had hoped for and imagined
Courting fear instead of a woman,
Holding sorrow as his only companion
Counting days like his money in the markets,
And watching life from the window in his office,
Maybe one day I'll have the courage,
Maybe one day I'll sail across the ocean.
But I feel safe in the light of my computer,
This is how I choose to live,
Fixed in stone a man will wither,
Running waters are the life of the river.
You cannot live in bronze or stone,
Make your life in flesh and bone
Remember me...
Frightened is an old man limping
Through the park on a dark December day,
He stands frozen at the base of a statue,
And he hopes for a warm hand to help him,
Tonight he will dream that he is flying,
Over banks of a river he remembers
His father's voice will echo all around him,
His father's hands will hold him in the sky,
Now I can sail across the ocean,
Now I will sail across the ocean,
Now I am sailing across the ocean.
I cannot live in bronze or stone,
I must live as flesh and bone.
Remember me, remember me, remember me...
Out on the porch swing
Like some old painting
He seems like he don't move at all
And somewhere a bell rings
And he's just remembring
The last time that she ever called
He picks up the phone and he says
To the dial tone
(Chorus)
It's still life without you
And i still hold on
What it feels like
You can't go by that
It's still life.. Still life without you
The chances were given
to get on with livin'
The truth is that he never tried
And no one ever sees him
Most folks don't even
Remember which one of 'em died
But he still denies it... He closes his eyes and
(Chorus)
Oh Still life... Still life without you
Out on the porch swing
Like some old painting
By jim carroll and lenny kaye
I don't believe in sin
But maybe I'll begin
A vagrant evil's climbing up my skin
The shadows from last week
Are dancing in the street
In homage to the darkness closing in
It's hard to say what's different each new morning
I need some clue to tell me when or where
But it seems I must believe
Night wears it on it's sleeve
A warning that the time's come to prepare . . .
I owe so much to someone
I've watched her teardrops fall
Like wings that melted reaching for the sun
I need her to be near
To clarify the dangers
I didn't come this far to die with strangers
I can't explain exactly what I'm saying
But you're the only reason I still care
But things become so clear
When the spider licks her tears
A warning that the time's come to prepare . . .
I beg you not to leave me
With these warnings in the air . . .
I never thought I'd say it
But for once I'm truly scared
We create every lie
In order to survive
To mirror all the terror in our souls
With nothing left to steal
Lies make our lives seem real
It slows down all the madness like a shield
I don't know why I need to understand it
I don't know if there's anyone who cares
I don't know how or why
It could be something in the sky
That makes it seem it's best to be prepared . . .
I don't know where it will be
Two by land . . . one by sea
Sleep with one eye open
Be prepared
The spectres ride the stallions of my ruin
The shifting of my blood tell me it's soon . . .
I don't know how
Or why . . . it could be
Something in the sky
That makes it seem the time says to beware
Little boy,
Looking at the sky,
Tell me what you see?
Little boy
Looking at the sky,
Make this clear in a statement
And break me here through the pavement
And I can trust in the silence
And I'll adjust to the violence...
....inside...I can't deny....I've burned
Alive in pain - but without you
I'll go insane reaching out to
I'm almost gone -but believe me
I feel so wrong
I can't believe what you've done to me
(would you cut me - if you love me)
I can't believe this was meant for me
(don't you touch me - don't you push me)
I can't believe what you've done to me
(would you cut me now)
Life! (life) It passed away (wrong)
Another chance at this life but it passed away (I'm so alone)
The dj spins the records on WRKO
But you must forgive him for the things he does not know
The world it has changed so much
Corporation damn my soul
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Everyday on MTV you can hear the same thing twice
Corporation brainwash put my mind into a vice
Jokers on the airwaves
Pretenders on the throne
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Ziggy play guitar for me
Give me my T-Rex-tacy
These plastic Gods and wannabe's
Will never blow my mind
The dj spins the records on WRKO
And you must forgive him for the things he does not know
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Tell me who killed rock n roll
She is gone- Inside a hole like the sky, Where I once was. Now just everything I never told her And could not show her. Thoughts had no weight, Broken words sent her away. I'm kicking for floor, There's only distance to fall. Reaching for the walls, There's only distance to fall. She is gone- And I am
It's forever Fall. I fight this feeling It never seems to stop the bleeding. These walls are killing everything. The sinking feeling. I'm not dreaming. Night falls too heavy no sleep. By the time the sun will rise I will lose my mind. I do it all the time. The devil is in me this bottle is empty. The damage done will not be undone today. Flying halfcocked out of windows losing friends and sleep and blood. For you I'd change it if I could. By the time the sun will rise I will lose my mind. I do it all the time. I swear to you, my friend This is not the end. I warn you again-This is not the end. So the night is as hard as the day is long. Just keep on keepi
You walk around with your scars showing. Does everyday threaten the end? We can't know where we're going. It hurts to think of where we've been. Do you get the feeling? I might believe all is made to die. I can't claim anything not anything I claim. It doesn't matter anyway it's not changing anything. At the end of the day I find I'm losing ground, I'm losing my mind I don't mind. I feel good enough maybe even fine sometimes.And sometimes so down. So
Stripping our consciousness blinding our consents hiding behind fake smiles. I've seen you for what your really are and it's sickening. Still we wait for revolution, but will we wait until they take us all away. Lying television scream. I've seen past your wall of lies, and I'm not laughing. Still we wait for revolution, but will we wait until they take us all away. To get inside to see the veins, and rip them lose until you choke on your own blood. Deep inside tear you down, cut your were you really hurt, expose your true faces. Deep inside tear you down and make you bleed as much as you've made others bleed. Your blood would fill o
The world seems a little clearer now as I rest my head and close my eyes... I never feel like I belong. And I don't want to hate myself when I don't feel strong. I find it in myself to carry on, even when I feel alone... Promise lies heavy on my mind, but I can't see truth from lies. I search for hope in your eyes, hope in my life. And Freedom is what I hope to find. I search for peace of mind, so I might know myself. I lost you somewhere along the way. Maybe if we worked on today, together we could put away our armor someday, and burn this empty cage... Nothing can be sure, and nothing here is pure, but still I look for answers and I lose myself in truth. When I find myself in dirt will I find you? I'm so in love with you. I'm finding things inside me I never knew... I am dirt. Blowing out of control in the wind. Nothing more than dirt. Nothing I feel could ever mean a thing. It sets me free, my empty cage, this heart of rage... This nothing is my everything. Heavy on my mind. I rest my head I close my ey
I don't need something I can own. I found something strong in the dirt I live in. I thought our ties were stronger than lust, stronger than want, stronger than self. Laid down you conviction for a simpler way of life. Is my dream impossible, I'm losing faith in what I thought was
This is a song about love. And when we turn our backs we tune it out. Colder and colder we turn it off. If there ever was true love for life, it's gone. Where has it gone? Life burns inside our hearts, but we're losing touch. We're losing ground. Traditions of killing passed on and on. Life burns inside our souls, but we discriminate to show our hate. So easily we detach ourselves from how other people feel... This is a song about hate. Ripping and tearing down, we smash it burn it to the ground. Escalate the greed that fuels our hate. In our struggle for power we generalize, if fear of difference we buy their lies. We don't realize the pain we create. Life burns inside our hearts, but we're losing touch, we're losing ground. Traditions of killing passed on and on. Life burns inside our souls, but we discriminate to show our hate. So easily we detach ourselves from how other people fe
I felt the sun cold. Burning slow... Looking for all I have to give, I found myself on the floor again. Say you care. It sets me free. A child cries inside of me. This love hurts more like hate... We have buried ourselves in ourselves, blind. We no longer hear eachother cry. Understanding has turned to pride. I burn myself for the feelings I've learned to hide, inside. There's so much more than I can see. I'm lost in the thought of everything. I feel alone in jaded times. Does the child inside you cry, to fly, to be only who we are inside? To fill our hearts with true love for life? To feel real compassion, not pride? To set free the love we've learned to hide, inside. Still we bathe in blood only to rinse in tears. The sunshines cold. These days are cold, and there's stains on my yesterday, holes in my now. Tomorrow brings a new day. Tomorrow brings a new ho
When I found this place of peace, I smiled and said it was mine to keep. Then I closed my eyes and screamed for you. Couldn't find you standing there because you were standing for you. I didn't see your feelings, true. Sunshine is on my mind, my friends I need you to make it shine. Yeah it's true, my friends, I'd die for you. Emotions can hurt so bad but I'm not going to make these days the ones I never had. Now I've come to see my self, for the things I've hated, because I closed my eyes to everyone else. So I'll try and change myself because all I want is sunshine for you and everybody else. I've got to break my thickening walls. Sunshine is on my mind, my friends I need you to make it shine. Yeah it's true, my friends, I'd die for you. Your smiles could fill my days, this sunshine is for all of us to take and run away. I think I love you, and to me it is so new, when darkness surrounds me, I'll get my sunshine from you. I love you a
Come around making great impressions. carve your name into the wall. just come and go at your discretion. until you won't come around at all. I wait dazed and wishful thinking, like I aint got no sense at all. I'm sick of waking up just to fall asleep again. I'm tired of standing just to fall. you don't know me, you don't owe me anything. I'm holding on I'm letting go. Moving on and into anything. I'm holding on I'm letting go. you got the best of me, and this is all that's left of me. explosions and tragedy. wishful thinking, and all apologies. there's nothing here to see. aint you got someplace to be. you don't know me, you don't owe me anything. it got the best of me, and this is all that's left of me. explosions and tragedy. wishful thinking, and all apologies that won't mean a thing, if on deaf ears they fall. doesn't mean anything, all the wishful thinking if you are there I am hear alone. it's not saying anything, you don't owe me anything at all. I am the stranger you are the distant memory. I am the refugee sailing vast and lonely seas. slowly si
Never let them take away what's inside. Defend what you need to survive. Survive. Are you feeling better are you getting by have the bastards wore down your mind. The sunrise ate the world their time clock eats my life. Just can't drink this off of my mind. Take down the pyramid tear out the eye. Do this for fr
It came without warning, something I thought wasn't real. These nails in my coffin, a boy who knows not how to feel. Yes love was a stranger, stranger that words can explain. A dry well my emotions, tears with no pity no shame. But I saw the clouds break before my eyes, and drank in the beauty of a clear sky. Can I help you find a genuine smile. Can I protect you, take bullets lay down myself. Spent my life searching for something I found in your eyes. All my life waiting, tangled within my own lies. Patiently wait, you get nothing for nothing. That's all I ever gave, can I give you something that will keep you safe. Is this something more than what you've thrown away. I've never felt like this. I hear songs in your laughter, epics of sorrow and pain. I kissed you while you slumbered, and kissed your check while it rained. Stared into your sad eyes cursing the dawn when it came. Your love has released me from all of my shame. And if ever you need me I'll never be too far away. I want you to believe me, I mean every word that I say. You introduced me to wonder, I wonder if you feel the same. Your love has released me from all of my pain. It's like flowers in spring time, rainbows after a rain. Each smile that you lend me, erases more pain. It came without warning, I thought it could never be mine. I finally found it, a love that will last for all
Slowly he looks at his calloused hands and dreams of something he thought was real and he looks to the ground. Sunlight is fading fast to the west, casting lengthening shadows. Some dreams are gone when the light disappears to fade with the night. And where do they go when they leave you alone lost in quite desperation. He's seen years pass like water beneath him and slowly drift out to sea. It's not a lot to ask of this world, to feel safe, and maybe he'll find it one day. But god knows he tries, but at the end of the day he always seems to say. All my dreams have faded away. Just like memories from yesterday, all my lines are crossed and erased, just like all of these lines on my face, but god knows I try. Cause it's not a lot to ask of this world, to feel safe, and maybe I'll find it one day. But if god knows I try then at the end of the day why do I always say. All my dreams have faded away.

I play a game called pain. I see my words, they make everyone play, but will anyone stay. I'll just sit by this wall, another time to fall. I'll see all the faces but I won't hear all the words. Be at all the places, strictly unobserved. Something so strong happening to my world, I am nothing, I am not the only one. Bring it to my doorstep I won't turn you to the cold. I'm just trying to find some answers but my questions have been sold. I just need someone to tell me, just say everythings ok. I'm just trying to find out if I mean a word I say. My words pull me down, I can't see in the dark. Their words fill me up. I am nothing, they are not. There's just a child inside me, can't you see I'm not that strong. I fall with every whisper because I feel I don't belong. I just need a little shelter for my ever dieing skin. Please won't someone speak a word because these bonds are growing thin. Trying to get away, never knowing I wanted to stay. Now I search for a way to find, a little closeness, a little time. In time, will it all jus
I find myself in our insignificance and I'm just afraid I might never understand myself. Something in my mind needs my heart to find something real. To walk some more before I'm down... I won't stay down. This struggle has just begun... I see a smiling face through this thick glass wall. Bring my heart down. Through my hands to watch them fall. I swear I'll watch them fall. While the colors fade. And the feelings rage for the need to be loved inside us all. So tell me how your callousness made you strong. And a love measured by the size of the scars. Does the dream of self worth twist you inside? Does the emptiness of this room spin your mind? Relentlessly I strive... falling short. Falling in love. Explode. This is your time. Tear away and scream out. This is your time. Your are not alone. We are not
Sleep like prey in pouring rain- Will you ever look me in the eyes again? I feel this shame. I remember the broken days. My angry friend made his home in caves. Junky my friend you were just a kid- I was just a kid. Those were sunsets, not the end. Will I ever look you in the eyes again? Breathe- Do you still breathe? I still br
I've watched this through many a crumbling wall. In silence I've watched my vision fall. I wonder if I can breath. This silence is choking me. I'm beaten or so it seems. Can no one ever hear my screams. I wonder if I'll survive. It's easy bury me alive. In spring time we'll live again. Remember what might have been. In summer a changing wind. In winter return again. I've watched the flowers fade. More dying every day. I will fade. Erase my name. Easy for you to say, that I never cared anyway. Just look in my eyes, I'm still hear. In your mind I am dead. I'm trying to stay alive. You left me with no good byes. I watch the flowers fade. More dying every day. I never lost my sight, but I watched you lose your faith
I am made of dirt and string and old forgotten things. I came in and I'll go out upside down. Try to keep my head high, eyes to the sky. Never to forget the blood spilled on the ground. I swear I'll remember. Everything seems prettier than ever now. I'm going down. Jaded eyes see the sky. Tired legs carry on. Jaded eyes see this sky open up on me don't care if I live or if I die. I swear I'll remember. Everything seems prettier than ever now. I aint going down. No more light. No more lies. But still this taste of mockery, it lies down whats in front of me. I'm kicking, still swinging. I'm headed nowhere because nowhere is my
These are not my eyes and not my hands. I don't mind, I don't care. I saved some rent, that saved my life. You see, I've never been a child and I've never had a home. I've only slept in the loneliest places. I'm always down, but I'm never sleeping. This demon child, whoever created, imprisoned or not is not devastated. Accustom to the darkness, no stranger to pain It does not pay to complain. After all, what is disgrace? I dreamed I saw a father. I watched him kill a mother. Now I kill everything I find and still no peace of
I watch this through one clear eye, I can't climb these walls of acceptance, this is my everything. I'm gasping to see you smile, these words fall through lips far from innocent these wounds self inflicted. I tried. In this room the air feels ugly, can a tree grow strong yet deny it's branches. I watch this through one clear eye, feel the strength rise behind me, this becomes our everything. Grey fills my sight, in shame still I try, to say I understand, I can't hide everything I am. Pain this feeling inside. Insane these walls made of pride. A blade cuts like the tongue. What I claim, no better than anyone. Understanding is everything. I watch this through one clear eye, waiting for tears to dry. All this hatred clouds my sight, beyond darkness lies dawns clear light..... through a
Another day is over. The sun has gone down. I'd drive so much further to see you. Winding canyon drive, stars and yellow lines lead the way to where this rock ends And the sea begins. You're just passed my defenses. I'm just this far from the edge. I don't walk off cliffs in the darkness. I find my way down to find you-Can't know what I will find. Fire. Water. And the edge of the world. And a girl. Let's make a devil in the sand-Pumpkinseed teeth and seaweed antlers. Another day is over-I'm going
This sky is green, this grass is blue. I'll paint this picture and give it all to you. When I'm here I feel so free, it's cold out there. Why can't you believe? It's true, so true. My words fall down. It's true, I need you. Looking past what I believe. Break this silence it brought me to my knees. I'll break past what I've been shown. Now I see that I've finally found a home. Shining star from yesterday fell to the ground, faded away. Look to the sky to understand. I've got my grip, but I've lost my hand. It's true. Take a look inside, I can see what's real. Let loose my pride. Open up my world. In this place of peace, I can understand. Will you look at me, will you take my
Never let them take away what's inside. Defend what you need to survive. Survive. Are you feeling better are you getting by have the bastards wore down your mind. The sunrise ate the world their time clock eats my life. Just can't drink this off of my mind. Take down the pyramid tear out the eye. Do this for fr
Is sanity far away? Do we want to kill ourselves, from the path we've strayed. But we move on with more dying day to day. Isanity foundations we lay, the inbreed hate and greed from our first day. But I know, I know it wont go away. It's time to end this vicious cycle of hate and greed that fills our minds. Our moral standards have corroded tell me the color of blood and rust. Our machine is now out dated adn we will all turn to dust. I can see this all, there must be a way to make a change today. Let me express my feelings at the risk of sounding anti-human, it seems to me that we're all parasites and we are bleeding dry this earth. We need to see the power that surrounds us the energy that we destroy. We need to learn a word called harmony, and understand that life is not a toy. I feel like I'm slipping, I can't stand on weak foundations, I can't see any explana
I just got sick of the rainfall. Feeling tired from gray skys and all. This hard winter spent my last dime. Comunity service got me doing time. And nothing feels good in this place. Pounding it into me. All is contest and you lose this race. This the city has told me. A stupid child died today. A wiser stupid man walked away. I think I've seen the devil. I guess I lost my mind. So see me usless on the corner, not worth my own last quarter. Too much wedged between my skull and brain, too many reasons to forget my name. Useless. You read it on bill boards. So useless. You learned it in school. Always knew there'd come a time, I'd have to go away. Why today, not today. Say my fairwells to places long gone. Fairwell, I'm movi
The sirens fade and the dogs and me whale. I bury my face in your pillow adn I'm barking like a fool. Nobodys home and I'm sitting all alone. The sirens blare and the dogs and me whale, and I'm thinking like a broken window. Dreaming of digging holes in your yard. I'm running in circles, thinking here I'll lie down, here I'll rest. Here I'll spill my blood, and it'll stain at best. Straydog may you find you a
I feel this empty like bullets deep inside me. I made a chair a place to dig them out. I drove these answers through my hands like nails to fill what I don't understand. And the days fell like sand. Leaving scars where they land. Kept inside we build ourselves of stone. Without shame without pride, even stone is broken in time. And my chair my place has long since turned to sand. Without shame without pride, even stone is broken in time. And the truths i've known have all since turned to lies. All will be forgoten. I feel the sun against my skin. Alive. All will fall in time. We were born out of dust only to return. Make of this what you will, but reap what you sew. Nothig
I got this pain that won't quit. Got this chip on my shoulder and a knot in my chest. There's a voice in my head that says kill the voice in my head. I never thought I'd be this bitter. I wouldn't hang out with me either. This whole world drags me down. Feels like I'm always spun around, falling down. Lost my faith in everything and don't rely on anything. Remember anything at all? This whole world drags me down. As god is my witness I'll never go hungry again. Bring it
Sometimes this world seems so inside out and sometimes we lose our hope we fall to dought. It seems so easy to sit back and hide our eyes hide from the pain hide under our disguise. Sometimes. It's time to look up it's time to move on this time I'll say I wanted so much more. To learn, to grow, something to reach for. Sometimes. I'm reaching. I want to reach out and show I care. To help someone sometime somewhere. To work from our hearts to make positive change work together and rearrange. Or tell me are these just words we scream to entertain ourselves to make us feel we're part of something else. I want a chance to stand for change to work together to think and rearrange. Some
So in time I found I couldn't swear by anything. Nothing at all. There's nothing like that which cuts through your everything. Leaving you humbled and small... but I'm here anyway. Nothing big to say. It's just I've wandered in this dark for so long, and never found my way. Do you think you could smile and say it could be ok? We wont think about that today. It was just wishful thinking anyway. I can't see higher that the walls I build in front of me. I can't see forward when I'm this flat on my back. I find these stones and call them real (could never be). What began as hope to heal could scar, make me feel whole. It could look so pretty on paper. It would feel so deep in blood. Sit and tell me you story awhile, before you move along...honestly? All this fear can tower over me, sometimes I don't move to free. Fumble to guess what any of this means. Stumble to understand the little I've seen. It seems a dream... always so sorry. Found myself wandering and so far away. So far away from home. We all built ourselves much too big. Tangled and hanging by our common threads. Always so sorry. Please forg
In dedication, I've seen us falter for ourselves. In conversations, I feel the underlying currents. Manipulation, I've seen ulterior motives. I wish we could be more like dogs. In alienation, we know the rules of separation. In degradation, we use historic points of reference. My observation, we've lost all instinct for compassion. I wish we could be more like dogs. Simple thoughts. Today, I do not feel so ok. There is nothing you can say to make me change my mind. I may never go outside again. The beauty of honesty it makes more sense to me then dropping hints and fishing for complements. A simple honesty that you could promise me, I'll love you or I'll hate you but I'll never try to fake you. Can I ever say what I want to say? Can I ever feel what I feel is true. To live my life and free myself from these chains. Like a dog, simple thoughts, feel no
Open my eyes I can see the lives of the millions that need to be free. Open my heart and I can feel the pain of the lives who's oppressions are real. Pain of the millions of innocent victims you and me we're just chained to a system striving just for ourselves we'll never see when lives are oppressed no one is free. So overwhelmed we don't want to help because we're to busy oppressing ourselves leave the problems in our leaders hand while their killing off people in far off lands enforcement of freedom is what they said how can that help when more just end up dead. Tell me what you don't see and show me what you don't know it's not your pain so you don't feel it's not your life so it's not real. I oppose your hate I oppose your war so many will die tell me what for. African people locked up in cages but we're used to it it's gone on for ages the need to be above equality the need to feel superiority is tearing us down and we wont return if this hate keeps building the world will burn dividing us up by our races judging what's inside by our faces gets so confusing it's hard to tell what's right inside I know better than to
My, Oh My. Wont you take me away, from the pain, I need a brighter day. To get out of this grey. My,
I never said a word, to you. And on the night you said you were leaving, I wanted to cry. Because I'm just mediocre, that's what I am, in my eyes. So I never thought that it would hurt you or make you cry. But I'm not mediocre to you. I never said a word, to you. And on the night you said you were leaving, I almost died. Because I'm just mediocre, that's what I am. So I never saw that it would hurt you that I could let you leave. Because I'm not mediocre to you. But I never said a word. Now on nights I cry alone, where you can't see me. Wonder how I'll fair alone, I need you more than I need air to breath. And I think on words like failure, I know it all too well. I have changed for the worse, I know. But I can't keep you from the world; it's your life to lead. But I would if I could, and keep you here forever. I could never say, that I needed you to stay. I didn't know that's all you needed me to say. Did you really think I didn't care? I thought I wore my feelings on my sleeves. Do you think you'll like it better there? Or do you just want to be away from me. Yeah, I know that I have changed inside. I lost faith in everything. But there is one thing that will never change. I told you I would be with you forever and
I fall and I dissolve myself again... Slain the beautiful. My time alone is not always merciful. The voices in my head screaming over and over again. So I dissolve myself I dissolve myself again... I was the on who built these walls now I have to be free. Can you help me break this hold of my insecurities? In this minute falling there's nothing left but hope. I feel hatred all around us. I'm holding tightly to the end of my rope. I feel so alone. Please tell me I'm not alone... Help me see the beauty in my pain. And I wont ever let these feelings slip away. Injustice is the theme for today. Repression is the price we pay. Life is fire, it needs to burn free. Can we learn compassion for all living beings? Or just tear it all down? Can we find it in ourselves to set ourselves
Peaceful one, it's time to take your life away. Loving liars, lost in blissful soul decay. Blood is falling, torched lives of misery. You can't even comprehend, why we cause you so much pain. Selfishness, self-righteousness and greed. We learn so much but we don't conceive. Kill my thoughts of harmony. Peaceful one you give so much but don't receive. Life a precious gift to through away, killing for humanity. Like a master and his slave, cut the thought and dig the grave. Death the drug of which we feed, blind because there is no real need, for the flesh of which we crave, that's how we've been taught to behave. Kill no more. Stop this ritual misery. Lives are not a tool for humanity. When compassion is the flag of which we raise. We all can be the masters, no more slaves. We are being li
There's a picture in the hall, I know
And it's from a time when feelings showed
Though I hold it close before my eyes
My heart refuses to see
Loving you could have been, oh, so easy
But there is something you don't understand
Through the times when two were one completely
There was another in this well laid plan
This corridor seems to stretch for years ahead
But patient hearts cannot match times steady tread
Is this the threshold of a fantasy?
Is there still life at all?
Loving you could have been, oh, so easy
But there is something you don't understand
Through the times when two were one completely
There was another in this well laid plan
Best laid plan of ours
Watering the garden
Some comfort for the twilight years
Still, life never lingers
Marches past our veil of tears
A moment's all we've got
To have and to hold
Don't slip, don't blink
Don't turn your head
With a photographic memory
I could live in a time that used to be
Is this the threshold of a fantasy?
Is there still life at all?
Loving you could have been, oh, so easy
But there is something you don't understand
Through the times when I was won completely
There was another in this well laid plan
Loving you could have been, oh, so easy
But there is something you don't understand
There was a time when I was won completely
By Jim Carroll and Lenny Kaye
I don't believe in sin
But maybe I'll begin
A vagrant evil's climbing up my skin
The shadows from last week
Are dancing in the street
In homage to the darkness closing in
It's hard to say what's different each new morning
I need some clue to tell me when or where
But it seems I must believe
Night wears it on its sleeve
A warning that the time's come to prepare . . .
I owe so much to someone
I've watched her teardrops fall
Like wings that melted reaching for the sun
I need her to be near
To clarify the dangers
I didn't come this far to die with strangers
I can't explain exactly what I'm saying
But you're the only reason I still care
But things become so clear
When the spider licks her tears
A warning that the time's come to prepare . . .
I beg you not to leave me
With these warnings in the air . . .
I never thought I'd say it
But for once I'm truly scared
We create every lie
In order to survive
To mirror all the terror in our souls
With nothing left to steal
Lies make our lives seem real
It slows down all the madness like a shield
I don't know why I need to understand it
I don't know if there's anyone who cares
I don't know how or why
It could be something in the sky
That makes it seem it's best to be prepared . . .
I don't know where it will be
Two by land . . . One by sea
Sleep with one eye open
Be prepared
The spectres ride the stallions of my ruin
The shifting of my blood tell me it's soon . . .
I don't know how
Or why . . . it could be
Something in the sky
That makes it seem the time says to beware
Little boy,
Looking at the sky,
Tell me what you see?
Little boy
Looking at the sky,
Tell me what you see???
Under a Sky, No one sees
Waiting... Watching It happening
Don't hurry... Give it time
Things are the way they have to be.
Slow down. Give it time.
Still Life...
You know I am listening
The moment that you want want is coming
If you give it time
WHEN YOU WAKE UP!
WHEN YOU WAKE UP!
You Will find me
WHEN YOU WAKE UP!
WHEN YOU WAKE UP!
You Will find me
Under a sky.
No one else sees.
You're sure.
Appears in front of me
The sky clears
The sun hits
I am here. Waiting. it's Happening
The moment that you want it coming
If you give it time
WHEN YOU WAKE UP!
WHEN YOU WAKE UP!
You Will find me
WHEN YOU WAKE UP!
WHEN YOU WAKE UP!
The axe is swift and reckless
Feel the grain, split it wide
Cut away to build the mansions
Of banks and boards in distant hands
The axeman looks to the sun
Covered eyes, blind to silence
The future is eroding
The sacred past destroyed
No damning feats of progress
Comfort the unemployed
The earth is shred and skun
Fortune seekers hit and ru-un
Barren earth, poisoned skies, wasted seas
Will we see the light through the trees
Before the last axe falls
A sweet breeze of rage is blowing
From forest to the town
Slowly the tide is turning
With love the seed is sown
No time for feeling helpless
We've change to make
While there's still li-ife
Lessons learnt quickly fade, memories
Will we see the light through the trees
Rise Rise Rise Rise......
"we shall crush you down to the point, where there is no coming back , things will happen to you from which you could not
recover if you lived a thousand years, a thousand years."
Still life
Imitating man
In another life, in a stranger land,
Am I dreaming I am awake,
Is this hell or second sight
Are we born again like shadows
Outside of timetime
"Feel I'm walking outside, circled around me are these faceless figures - watching me, as if they are waiting for something to
For every time I have to listen to you scream
I'll break apart the image of you smiling back at me
Why does it have to be this way?
Don't expect me to stay
And it seems that all you've cared about is slowly washing away
And I've become just a stepping stone as all the memories fade
Yet I still let the guilt come over me
I'll still tell you lies until I die and wonder what is wrong with me
I think I know this feeling but it's never been so strong
You thought that I forgot about it but it can never feel too long
You take my life into your hands
You like to throw me down then watch me try to stand
I think I have this vision of what will soon be lost
headlights crawl by a blur of white power lines form
proof of life immersed in sleep the city sits below its
lights blinking in and out of the still trees rain pours
upon these empty streets slowly hitting the ground it
falls without a sound
I cant help this feeling; I need it, this love inside.
You know that I see it; you feel it, this apathy inside.
a constant upon the ocean floor as footsteps appear they
never disappear because of you
I cant help this feeling; I need it, this love inside.
I remember
When all the leaves have touched the ground
With a love of life that's so profound
And as you turn and walk by me
I remember
In the paler midnight sky
As I lay I hear you sigh
And a chill blows through my heart
A chill blows through my heart
Anywhere you are
Driving in your car
You go through my head
You go through my head
With every single day
And every word you say
Goes through my head
It goes through my head
I'll be someone
Who will try to lend a hand
In a way I understand
When a chill blows through my heart
You're keeping us apart
