Ray's Lament
03:17
|
|||
i'll watch you cry and step slowly by
and feel the way you're feeling
as sky retains its vacant air
and earth receives its tribute
this morning can't last
this morning can't last
before the noon breaks free
before the day wakes me
i'll hold your hand and understand
the reasons why you hate me
as the trees shift slowly in the air
and earth receives its virtue
we'll stand aside as life abides
and let the hours succeed us
as winds bring winter in the air
and earth receives its honour

Road to Nowhere
03:38
|
|||
we are on the dark road to nowhere
I wanted a way out
you needed some where else to be
we drive on a dark road to nowhere
I wish for daylight
you want a rain that will never stop
tell me who you are
tell me why you're here
of all the places to be
of all the people to see
why are you here with me?
we live on the dark road to nowhere
I'll hold you steady
while you try so hard to fall
why do you try so hard
why do you take this time
with so much left before you
why do you try so hard,
so hard to fall?

Clouds Dispersing

he reached for the sky
but fell much too short
oh that distant train
never came closer
never got what he needed
and now it feels too late
he felt the ground shake
as he picked himself up
the stars have never fallen
we always fail to get them
forever burns a lifetime
life only burns a moment
live here in the cloud
of furies embracing
where pain is the current
of every feeling
and truth drifts in light clouds dispersing
his desire was spread
through the wide crowds of people
he didn't know what he wanted
but that his place was with them
but he could just imagine
them away

Somehow, I
04:01
|
|||
I will soak up the night
I will drink in this dark
I will shelter the light
while the music runs free
mix up the air
with a pure clean tone
I can clear myself away this way
and be something fine
burn this space
mix up the air
make a new place
somehow I can be there
i will make it all right
when I lean out my window
and throw pennies at cars
as they pass down my street

Tea In Hell
03:12
|
|||
he sat himself across from you
and tried to take your hand
but you pulled away and closed your mouth
and then made ready to leave
he shook his head he looked away
sorry to break your silence
but he had to smile at the thought
of you drinking tea in hell
not that he believed
nothing that he believed
the idea so provocative
smile the devil winks
you lift your cup to drink
stirs him, so evocative
he told you this and told you that
while you quietly stood
amuse yourself go on amuse yourself
you're the only one who probably could
you made a face you walked away
don't want this idiot near you
but you wonder why he ever thought
of you drinking tea in hell

Looking for you So Long
03:42
|
|||
tear the rainbows down
spread the colour on the ground
set the oceans free
and climb the tallest tree
where have you been
where have you been
i've been looking for you so long
now where have you gone?
where have you gone?
move the mountains far
from where they always are
push the fields apart
make space for your art
grind the things we made
into a brighter shade
colour every scene
a shade of amberine
in the morning
the sun awoke
to set the air on fire
now where have you gone?
where have you gone?

Dream Away
06:46
|
|||
don't stop running
don't stop to catch your breath
I don't want to be anywhere
I need to be distracted
take me from the things that want to keep me here
I'll drive to wild places to finally find
I have never been left behind
dream away
there's somewhere else to go
dream away
there's somewhere else to be
dream away
lose everything you know
dream away
why can't this be a dream
I'm afraid I've broken
all your precious bottles
and made myself a statue
a living, eviscerated me
it belongs to the world, you see
I set it free to run with the crowd
and be nothing more than happy
and you, you just watch me
I'll show you how this works
I'll be the greatest mountain
to appear upon the earth
but don't climb me, no, you can't climb me
I'll be untouchable unreachable
and finally alone

The World is Flat
04:57
|
|||
I can think anything I want
that's how the world will be
if I can't believe it
then I never will see it
and it never will come near me
I can be anything I want
all it takes is a little time
just a few steps aside
watch it all slip by
and I can cut in line
the world is flat
it was never round
every place I've been
was always next to somewhere
not on the other side
I can think anything I want
I can think you are a chimpanzee
the words you are talking
just movements you're mocking
playing at human being
I can be anything I want
I believe I can be free of you
every hour of the day
I get farther away
from whatever you find true
but not everyone lied
for I know they've been elsewhere
all those things they've seen
are on the ground somewhere
because the world is flat

A Dream
03:14
|
|||
she sits all alone
in the shade of a tree
I watch while I walk
watch her watch me
take the stones from my hands
and I'll let you begin
take the rings from my wrists
and then you'll teach me
what it means to be larger
means to be larger
than eternity
she stands by herself
at the riverside
I watch from across
watch while she hides
in the distance, cold mountains burn
she hardly makes a sound
"take my sorrow and bury it
deep within the ground."
she sleeps on the bed
safely under the stars
I carved them in the ceiling
to replace what was once ours
in the night I can see them
in the night, they move free
in the night I can see them
in the night,
in the night,
in the night,
they move me

Home
07:00
|
|||
i've been foolish
i've thrown it all away
what I didn't lose
I smashed or burned today
and now there's nothing left
but me
and you've been a taunt
to my memory
a voice from the dark
sadly laughing
I burned our history
to ash
and i would go home
but now there's nothing there
I can't be it
or i would feel it
but that feeling's gone
time has taken
the only thing i want
i've been hurt
by everything i thought
but was too afraid
to ever see
and nothing feels like nothing
to me
and maybe you've waited
in the place we met
with that happiness we knew
but I know that can't be real
I know how broken
you are
and now there's no redemption
please take me home
I know there's no redemption
please take me home
I just need to find
a way across
to get from me to you
