My arrival coming in
Simply took the long way

Be Flat Like Reflections
04:00
|
|||
|
I can't - never mind, I won't
Let the fear involve itself into the plans
I said - or was it - I sang
It wax lyrical, I'm not so sure you heard
I'll surely live to voice complaints
Involving you, involving me
The knives are out before we know
The fiction ends, as fiction goes
What's worth saving?
We may never know
Until we cave in from its overflow
As I recall, this all resolved
We never mind the never-was
And then we plead for longer nights
A portrait of the quiet life
And I wonder where you've been ever since
What's worth saving
We may never know
Until we cave in from its overflow
As for hiding
We beg to be found
What's worth saving always comes around

Lesson of the Downpour
04:16
|
|||
|
Even if nothing else, you've got the drama down
Building material painted in the colors of blood
But this allegedly is new to you
Even after all the time spent sifting through the looks
Even if nothing else, you've got the drama down
You have the breaks and I have endless tidal waves
Until I'm gone
Everything else, while my arrival's coming in
Gets me back home
Every movement, every minute, every one, a con
Every motion, every moment, every one, all a con
Even if nothing else, you've got your story down
Look to the left or right, never the camera
But this resilient appearance took
Even after all the times you shifted for the looks
You say "It's all in how you put it on."
You've got the drama down
You have the breaks and I have endless tidal waves
Until I'm gone
Everything else, while my arrival's coming in
Gets me back home

The Interruption
05:29
|
|||
|
It's only you who could never improve
I can't contest that method enough
If you've heard it all consider it as council
I'll build a map of all our close calls
Connect all the sites, I'll cartographize
Will they ever collide?
It seems like every time
We're close enough
Enter the interruption
And the moment is gone
So now you come to it, a modern acceptance
Well lately I've heard it all
So now you'll keep distance to build a resistance
Well indeed, you've solved my dilemma
Connect all the sites, I'll cartographize
Will they ever collide?
If we can stay away
We can find a way
It seems like every time
We're close enough
Enter the interruption
And the moment is gone
It feels like every time
We care to know
Enter the interruption
And the moment is gone
It seems like every time
We're close enough
Enter the interruption
And the moment is gone

Weekend Violence
03:48
|
|||
|
All the confidence in my body just cannot convince
My coincidences seem to self-align and I give in
In my certain speech my attention
is on what it is she needs
All in all this is behind all my weekend violence
I just happened upon an imitation
when will that picture fade inside my head
In my mind rehearse the lines that make the lie I tell
Her replacer denial then defeat when I give in
All my tendencies have allowed her to be all that I need
And for now it is behind all my weekend violence
I just happened upon an imitation
It seems so far along from my attempt but from then on
My luck is all gone my love is all wrong
When will that picture fade inside my head of us
In the end I will defend my sentiment
I don't know and never will
If I'll ever be that same as when with you
All in all you are behind all my weekend violence
(I just happened upon that revelation)
I just happened upon an imitation
It seems so far along from my attempt but from then on
My luck is all gone my love is all wrong
When will that picture fade inside my head of us
Just happened upon that revelation
It seems so far along from my attempt but from now on
The time is all gone
My dedication won't let that picture fade inside my head

Sinister
03:33
|
|||
|
There you were dressed in sinister
But I never had any doubt
Because, you and I will electrify
Even in the heart of the blackout
I arrive in the candlelight
Am I so obvious?
There you were dressed in sinister
But I never had any doubt
We're hurt but we'll stay
To return is giving in
And we'll learn today
Our hands hold our conduits
There it goes, contact always grows
But we are allowed to be fooled
Because, in the dark we start and restart
Even if we can't see each other
Never fade, never give away
Say our intuition is safe
There you were dressed in sinister
But I never had any doubt
Electricity
We have all we need
We're hurt but we'll stay
To return is giving in
And we'll learn today
Our hand hold our conduits
And we'll learn today
Our hands hold our conduits
And we'll learn

The Shade of the Ghost
03:44
|
|||
|
I've gotten what I want and I'll never see the sun
Sleeping on my side, alive,
To simply kill off the time
Reveal just where you are
Close enough to hear my heart
See my face the shade of the ghost
Find your body faint like the smoke
But I know
It's the fire in that's been gathering
The miracle never gone
And I, the loyal side
Of this kind of life
It's all I know from now on
Whether right or wrong
(I return to sender)
All things, all along
(As your neverender)
You're everywhere and when ever and over again
Pull the color out of my sight
All new you in black and white
Appear right where you are
Close enough to feel your heart
With my face the shade of the ghost
Find your body faint like the smoke
But I know
It's the fire in
That's been gathering
The miracle never gone
And it's the certainty
That keeps you with me
A fact disowned in our bones
Whether right or wrong
(I return to sender)
All things, all along
(As your neverender)

Eighteenth Wish
03:48
|
|||
|
It slowly takes in over some quiet days
The drones that send me to sleep can start haunting
I thought of heading out to Northwest Angle
Just try to make it alone
Unless you wanted to travel there with me
We'll leave this place far behind especially
Take to The Lake of the Woods to escape it
Nobody's being warned
Whoa, the aftermath
What's after that?
Now we have the chance to come undone
We add distance from what was hanging on
And you are my home
Now we're safe within the confines of our immediacy
(Nobody's being warned)
We can rest here forever
Whoa, the aftermath
What's after that?

Goldenrod
03:54
|
|
||
|
Hold me up to the light
See the differences inside
In repose, I'll never show
I am the wasp resting upon
You as August Goldenrod
In the summer, I can't figure
If I could fall right into sleep
And never be alone
With you waiting there
I could love you more than that
But we'll never, ever know
If nobody knows just where you've gone
You and I, failing fine
Sorting missteps in a line
Tracing back, a chance encounter
You are the one final stop on
A never-ending train of thought
End the winter, I can't figure
If I could fall right into sleep
And never be alone
With you waiting there
I could love you more than that
But we'll never, ever know
(If nobody knows just where you've gone)
