Desires
03:31
|

Do you want to make it last?
Winning steak in a different life?
Hold on to suffered fools
gather round, abandon rule!
Did you make it far?
Played for punks in empty bars?
now - it’s time to rest,
light the sage above my bed…
Cuz I’ve got desires
they won’t leave me alone
I got desires
they won’t leave me alone
Last call for empty threats
syndicate when you can’t protect
run along to an endless mess
credits roll, living in regret
did you make it far?
Golden Coast to Powder Falls
now - it’s time to rest
lay some flowers on my chest
Cuz I’ve got desires
they won’t leave me alone
I got desires
they don’t leave me alone
Over and over
I give you all I can

TV God
03:31
|

Night fall - it’s on
that face is on the channel
a thought surmised
a thought I couldn’t keep alive
for too long
beat down
the fear of God in everyone
give it up
I’ll give it up one day
for now its all I got
He’ll never come down
He’s a TV God.
I’m right. You’re wrong.
pick up the pieces and move on
to find a light
illuminated to survive
His gaze upon me
I just find a way to throw it off
relax
I’m gone
You’ve got me in your TV eye…

Bird Of Prey
04:02
|
|||
Bring on the noise
I’ll check the choices
and forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it
my nest is full
there is no time
lock jawed
I’m afraid
please make this go away
I need
your kind
new things at last
you’re by my side
those things don’t last with you by my side
You are my bird of prey
I lost my voice
I’m checking boxes in the middle of the night
forget it forget it
these claws in me
no space
no time
lock jawed
I’m afraid
please make this go away
I need
your kind
new things at last
you’re by my side
those things don’t last when you’re by my side

Nothing Ever Changes
03:11
|

Nothing ever changes
it’s always the same
feel it
just hanging around
cut the cord
run away
for good
this way
upside down
left to know
what’s right?
What’s wrong?
Remembering to hide my face
from the cold
you drift away
and so it goes…
Nothing ever changes
it’s always the same
these days
my memory’s a ground
don’t forget
whatchoo running from?
This way
upside down
take it slow
hold tight
move on
oh some things
escape the grip of my hand
you broke the bond
and so it goes…

I Am The Dancefloor
03:44
|
|||
Freezing on the outside
I just got here
standing in line
I’m like a new wave
on my own
I just stare at my shoes and I look at my phone
Smoke show
I hear my jam
Trevor’s my friend (he already knows)
I just slide in like a snake on a slope
I can’t wait to get my groove on
I am the dance floor
you better be free if you wanna dance with me
Lightning on the floor
I break my back til I’m outta control
when I glide in - I’m a full grown man
when the back beat hits they know who I am
I just move like this
spin like that
and I blow a kiss to no one
writing’s on the wall
I just live to get my groove on…

Head Rush
02:57
|
|||
Let’s go back to a time
and unwind this little thread
connecting me to the after life
The Golden Age of sunny days are here
but it’s quick
don’t blink - or it’s all gone
So young, so free
back then where I wanna be
if its alright with you
will ya - let me go there a little while?
I need it more than you’ll ever know…
Can’t live without it
Can’t live without it
all I want is the head rush.
Friday night on the town
run around, stay up late
smoking up on a fire escape
hit n miss, I reminisce
how we drank on the street
and then we kissed in the moonlight
So wild, so free
I’m right back where I wanna be
if that’s alright with you
will ya - let me stay here a little while?
I miss it more than you’ll ever know…

In Standard Definition
03:33
|
|||
We’re tuning out, to an old time movie
French cinema with the volume off
it’s not easy - to figure it out
it’s not easy
we figured it out once before
You fall asleep
I change the channel
you’re counting sheep
I dream in standard definition
Old black and white
with a touch of grain
Roman à clef
give me Fellini’s games
talk to me - these visions are loud
talk to me - just like you did the night before…

Good Looks
03:15
|
|||
No fun is a lonely club
will ya get it together
online where’s the funny vibe?
you’re not picture perfect
all these menial things we do
to stand out all the way
wine stain on the table
I’ve been clean for days
Good looks don’t matter to me
so don’t let me down
Good looks don’t matter to me
so don’t let me down
oh baby let me out
Goth kid with a janky frown
all dressed in leather
like a cat who’s catching a mouse
you’re all pain for pleasure
old school dirty look
with a face of gold
swipe around the town
you can swipe around for someone better
Good looks don’t matter to me
so don’t let me down
Good looks don’t matter to me
so don’t let me down
oh baby let me out
Hot faces in with the crowd
keep letting me down
they don’t take me out
Good looks don’t matter to me
so take me down oh baby let me out

The Message
03:23
|
|||
Broadcasting messages
my signals getting lost
the end
when it begins -
misfire
live wire
empty mind
step 1: denial is long
you push to the brick
you answer to no one
upstairs it’s crystal clear
when my mouth don’t work
it’s just the message is breaking up
I can’t hear you
the message is breaking up
say it louder
Next up: life of one
that sinking feeling’s gone
it ain’t that I’m paying attention (or not)
the missing link is lost
it got a hold of me
this conversation is breaking it off…
it ain’t that I’m paying attention (or not)
in the end it’s just… breaking up
I can’t hear you
the message is breaking up
say it louder
I said the message is breaking up
I’m lost in La Mancha
channel surfing America
I wrote Him a letter
cuz the message is breaking up

I Remember
04:31
|
|||
Collect your fears in a cloud
the pressure builds
raining down
like shelter hounds
I’m calling out
I float along to it
I look inside for answers…
Deep in the sea of a memory
I am after
draped in the feel of a melody
I look after
I remember
I remember it so well
Finding me through it all
the ocean breeze plays along
if it pulls me out
don’t reel me in
I’ll drift along to it
I look inside for answers…
