I would like to think about it
Not just take a glimpse around it
You know just what I mean
If you've got another minute
It would be nice to be in it
Why would we move so fast
Even with the best of reasons
You still can't go changing seasons
And autumn leaves are changing hue
And if you're home I'll pick you up sometime
We'll go out driving and see the sights and sounds and way it used to be
Its always nice to hear an oldie
Turn to putty but that's the old me
The new is hard as rock
How can we judge if your summer was better than mine
And how can we tell if the moment is in its prime
And words flow like wine
And everyone's taking their time
To see what I mean, lean, furious machine
There is never a dull conclusion
Just a good friendly ending protrusion

And she was always so defensive
Like nothing was ever her fault
Or her responsibility
And this is all i have left to hold
A delicate balance has been exposed
And now it towers around us all
Just goes to show life is so fragile
She used to smile when she'd say
"it's all so meaningless, anyway
So just forget, forget it"
And she was always so morose
Like this was all some bitter joke
But no one was laughing
And now when we speak about her
We never use the present tense
I guess that's what happens
It was safer when you were near:
Don't worry, it's not your fault
I know, i saw it happen
Don't worry, don't take the blame
I would have done the same thing
Don't listen to what it says
Your mind is out to get you
And anyone would do the same
If they had to walk round in your shoes
No matter what they do
No matter what they say
Don't let them bring you down
You can't control what other people think
How could you let them bring you down
How could you know that things could
End this way
Don't you let them bring you down
Don't worry, it's not your fault

Well, then we don't need to pretend anymore
It's real, it's real, let your love be the proof
I can tell that it's the truth, that fear
That fear, there's a beauty out there,
You just gotta know where, it's there
(Chorus)
Yeah, let your loving be the proof
I can tell that it's the truth, that fear, that fear
Yeah, couldn't show you where
At some point, you're a fool tryna run
Yeah, couldn't show you where
At some point, you're a fool tryna run
So the dream that I buried you too deep
Yeah, you go blanking in the sun
I can tell that you're the one
By the feel, I feel
A simple, beautiful love is worth countless
Trials by this fear, by this fear
Unless you are,
(Chorus)

do you see the way that tree bends?
does it inspire?
leaning out to catch the sun's rays
a lesson to be applied
are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?
you can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
makes much more sense to live in the present tense
have you ideas on how this life ends?
checked your hands and studied the lines
have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light?
seems that needlessly it's getting harder
to find an approach and a way to live
are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
you can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh

lyrics by K. Nardi/except*
Twisting the images
Watching them grow
Into what they are not
Forget we forgot as they fed on what's real
The path I fell onto
Of tears wades through
Await the demise
In sorry disguise from the things that I feel
Time does not exist
The days as thin as mist
Deep within my eyes
There is a heart that died long ago
What is it going to take to get through to you?
To open your fear-blinded eyes?
Because there was this fear that would tear at me
That by our own hands we would fall
These clouds can pass no light
Just silhouettes of tired life
Sorrow begging, why?, for answers miles and miles from the truth
Endurance and patience lost
From fighting this holocaust
Destroying within and eating its way from the core
Time does not exist
These days are meaningless
Deep within my eyes
There is a heart that died long ago
What is it going to take to get through to you?
To open your fear-blinded eyes?
Because there was this fear that would tear at me
That by our own hands we would fall
*Forgive this heart
Long stagnant with its blood
For it is here, within my suffering
That these, the altars of the soul have creaked
Suffering Hour...
Suffering Hour...
Suffering Hour...
My darkest hour is now
What is it going to take to get through to you?
To open your fear-blinded eyes?
Because there was this fear that would tear at me
That by our own hands we would fall
