Floodlight
be our full moon tonight
its like living in a dream
cause i can't tell whats real
except the center of the universe thats sitting right here
Silhouette eclipse
hand thru the hair of a new planet
all the bugs swim in her orbit
as she swings and swings and swings
the last thing i see before everything
starts dissolves
are we dancing in the moonlight or just dreaming in the floodlight
I'm faking this fable
won't you fake it for me too
voyage dans la lune
theres nothing i wouldn't do
if the center of the universe is doing it too
like dragging out a decade
till the dawn arrives
shouting surrenders to a sudden decline
and won't meet its rival
till the center of the universe decides its time
are we dancing in the moonlight or just dreaming in the floodlight

The Bad
03:28

its just a rut
you're not gonna sink
get a laugh or get a thinking from it
you're my go to for good news x2
i'll leave the bad where you're bound to see it
i'll leave the bad where i know you'll be
i'll leave the bad where you stay without me
because i just can't bare the feeling
swore no man would make you cry
like how you wept when that favorite famous died
but oh how they grow so old
oh when i go
and i live inside your memory
won't be so much of an afterlife
a little more like apres vie
i'll leave the bad where you're bound to see it
i'll leave the bad where i know you'll be
i'll leave the bad where you stay without me
because i just can't bare the feeling

Winter Tree
03:11

For the final goodbye, gimme one last sight
its seemingly harmless, just give it a night
it'll linger with reason but unknown to you
like the things that she's doing with you fresh outta view
for your choice of wording, a few phrases to murder
so to live in a language that's never heard her
and to never use again or risk the reminiscent
a reminder is as kind as a knife to the kindey
for your offer of electricity
here's a song as bare as a winter tree
neither buzz nor fuzz nor purple lights gonna bring it back to life

Beach Bunker
04:28
|

|
its dissolved in the sea
your daydream of me
off of the shore
into the deep
your toes in the sand
where the blue and beige meet
your smile it fades
when i come up to breathe
speaking in vein
to the crash of a wave
clear my throat
repeat again
but the seagulls call
the thunder boat
i can't take a hint
i clear and clear my throat
and the beach bunker sings its coastal song
wind howling hymns thru concrete walls
seven feet thick, i don't know how tall
i lost my mind trying to figure out what its all for
you gotta protect what you love
until that hungry old ocean comes and eats it all up
i sail out to sea
in my ship of concrete
i never make it far
i swim back to see
you stuck inbetween
the dunes and the gloom
one stays too long
ones gone too soon
and that siren in the sand
she takes me by the hand
who thought sea weary me
would find my end on land
stuck inbetween
the dunes and the gloom
one stays too long
one's gone too soon

Spirit

if you don't wanna carry i got nothing to say except keep that lam trembling and walk your way back home
the meadowlands have a war torn town at the bottom of a lake just waiting around for you
you never know what to do and i know just what to do
good lord lost in a liquor store all we need is one to start the fun but what to pick?
what to choose?
i'll leave it up to you
all of a sudden we were learning russian from the symbols on the bottle, that horrible concoction. it was what was in it, that evil spirit, that taught us the wonders of learning how to sing it
i got the feeling now

More Often
03:25
|
|||
|
blood stains
just like dry paint
on your favorite shirt
but you make it work
i'd think of you more often
but i've already forgotten that face you wear
when you'd waste time up there
danger ahead
stranger behind
no need to worry what s in front of a reminiscent mind
I'd think of you more often but I lost it all again
when the blue and pink of summer sink to the rising tide of falling things
quick rewind, change your mind, remember when it was warm outside

Someday Circus
03:01
|

|
a lot of things make a lot of sense
but his nick names and he aren't one of them
they're waiting viciously
they come in tens
waiting for something dumb to be done with
a beer in his hands
a tear in his eyes
from when he's laughing so hard
he can't help it but cry
a tongue so dry
he'll do anything to wet it
over the moon
and around the regret
theres a sense of defeat when no one's competing
victory's avoided for a fleeting feeling
a lesson is learned
revelation arrives
while you stand there burnt
to a city on fire
anything can rival rome
from its widest reaches
to its weakest lows
but now it rests that southern sun
having the pleasure of only falling once
her she'll be lucky if its three times the charm
cause that fourth time around is looking mighty strong
it won't be long till she's back in bed
with the same old song running thru her head
"last night leave me alone"
i felt my share, i taste the burn
morning arrives
what a surprise
the dream keeps trying to keep the dream live
i see my friends in waves
i don't know if their smiles stay
or worry wipes across their spotless face
the moment that the spotlight fades
that someday circus
skeleton curtain
got an eye for the things you'd be a fool to flirt with
and its working
time and time again

Did Anybody Notice?
04:08

did anyone notice the tree's were cut down
right before the bridge heading out of town
its like a hole was cut in the roof of our world
but soon we won't remember what it looked like before
