Middle Ground

When you beg me to bare my soul around you,
I can't help thinking of what I see inside you,
Basically alone
You're bred from linen and family celebration,
What I know as home is your vacation,
Can't un-ring the bells you have never heard
You tried
And I did too
You bet me that you could learn to feel it easy,
Took a walk in the dark park alley
By your shivering new friends,
With bags on broken backs
They spoke in words you can't comprehend
Or maybe you didn't hear what they said,
Said you get it, still
You won't try
Won't try
Don't try
Why should I?

Keeping Up (With No One)
03:35
|
|||
|
Stuck in second place
Funny just to say
By the way, I found your phone last night
Just a mile away
Never much to do
But walk in broken shoes
Ever notice that one traffic light
Flashes to a tune?
You've been keeping up with no one
Shy away from only someone, maybe
Won't be keeping on for no one
Walking lonely, drunk, and stubborn lately
All opinions still
Never shake your will
Who am I to say your feeling's wrong,
That something's left to kill?
You've been keeping up with no one
Shy away from only someone, maybe
Won't be keeping on for no one
Walking lonely, drunk, and stubborn lately

Wait
03:28
|

Wait inside,
They don't exchange one eye, so
Wave goodbye to the door
Up the drive,
The screaming shakes the cold night slow
The more I see the less I know
Tensions rise,
Sunken skin and old lines broke
Wave goodbye to the door
Showtime,
Blows exchange, but will I go?
The more I see the less I know
Around me,
Time turns around me
Wait inside,
They don't exchange one eye, so
Wave goodbye

Standstill

I hope this reaches you well
Getting older,
Can you tell?
You know, I think of you, still
If nothing yet's saved you,
What will?
I waited for your return
But Mr. Manners
Wants the world to burn
You'd change what no one else will
The endless march stood still
Life ain't the same old thrill
The endless march stood still
If love can't save you, what will?

Come Along
02:11
|
|||
|
Together underneath the stained and spinning sun
Life never takes a break for you or anyone
Still, you come along with me
In spite of all the sentences you have been read
You make a point to make it so I'm free instead
Your fingers bled
For my head
Your shadow here beside me
Can cool the burn of Summer
Feel's good to have you by me
Feel's good to have
And so we live beneath the stained and spinning sun
Life never takes a break for you or anyone
Still, you come along with me
Still always come
With me

Idols

Pretty pictures cross their paths and blend,
Perform a show no one attends
Save for the middle-man,
Sighing through cigarettes
He sold his soul to Mr. Pays-the-Bills
And off he goes,
Up to the hills
He's up there still
Strikes a most elegant chord,
His name, he paid for
Bleeding, breathe in,
Nothing's left to report
Now and then, his hand will reach the door
But not before he's settled his score
The radio won't have a word to send
For when this aging chapter ends
Save for the middle-man,
Sighing through cigarettes
Strikes a most elegant chord,
His name, he paid for
Bleeding, breathe in,
Nothing's left to report
Eyes steal a gaze,
Ideas stay still
Or kill thrills
Breathe in
Breathe in
Until,

Old Days
02:04
|
|||
|
You're here, you're gone
Muddy water tracks on the floor
You left at dawn
Old days pass away and roll on
The fame you saw,
Cut off at the knees by the sword you passed along
Old days pass away and roll on
And roll on
Life had just begun
And you took it for yourself,
It hurts like hell
And so it goes
Trampling the tracks on the floor dusk and dawn
Old days pass away and roll on
And roll on
And roll on
Roll on

Summer
02:40

Soon is the summer,
I'll be gone from here
If I could, I'd leave tomorrow
This time, the colors changed their hue
And I see a different point of view
In my tree,
What's gone is gone, will drift away
With the days
Shines, does the sun
For that one magic day
Novel glow fades to worry,
Never gone anyway
This time, the colors changed their hue
And I see a different shade of blue
Run down my favorite avenue
So sets the sun
To be gone from here,
If I could, I'd leave tomorrow

Godfather

It precedes you, unwind
The words between the lines do
Their best, your worst
If you'll buy me in love or fear,
Or love of fear,
It'll flatten me slowly
There, rings a call, collect,
I say, 'can't pay your debt,'
"For this, I'll have your legs,"
I beg for one more day
Too good to please you,
Save time and read between the lines
But who said
You'll buy me in love or fear,
Or fear of love
To find me
You stall, your walls cave in,
Nice place you had until then,
Light fades and turns to grey,
I beg for one more day
