Feelings, thoughts, dreams and counter thoughts
In and out of style
Seasons change and people get strange
In the courtroom of your mouth you put all tongues on trial
And it goes like so
In your ghost like soul
I didn’t speak the language
I held no currency
We evolved
From the buzzing, teletype static
Of syndicated programming in our prefrontal cortexes
To the limitless, vast ocean
Of diptychs and triptychs
In cascading sheets of Memory, Desire and Information
And it goes like so
In your ghost like soul

Sign In the Window
03:17
|
|||
Shut the lights off when you go
Turn my mind down, make it slow
And I don't know if I want to be free
From this prison of delight
And the sign in the window says hello
In a language that nobody’s ever known
Let me know if I’m the one you wanna see
Tonight
Lie beside me, rest your head
Make me feel the words you said
All I want is for you to be real
And let me heal inside your light
And the sign in the window says hello
In a language that nobody’s ever known
Let me know if I’m the one you wanna see
Tonight

The Weeping Souls

I never meant to do you wrong
I’m only living through this song
I know you never meant to do me harm
I ignored the signs when I was warned
And if I don’t have the sense to turn and walk away
Take a look around at all the carnage in your face
Take a look around at all the phantoms in your soul
We live inside of a dream
If you let me in
I’ll protect your heart
Turn lead to gold
I live inside of your thighs
Just to make you cum
And avert your gaze from
The weeping souls
Your ghost it haunts me every day
It hurts my heart but that’s okay
All these desires that linger on
Burn them with fire then I’ll be gone
And if I don't have the sense to turn and walk away
Take a look around at all the carnage in your face
Take a look around at all the madness in your soul
Take a look around at all the carnage in your face
We live inside of a dream
If you let me in
I’ll protect your heart
Turn lead to gold
I live inside of your thighs
Just to make you cum
And avert your gaze from
The weeping souls on lost parade
A wind that never blows
Whatever’s in the way
Upon the open road
The bitter tears of ever-present doubt
Let it all be over
We live inside of a dream
If you let me in
I’ll protect your heart
Turn lead to gold
I live inside of your thighs
Just to make you cum
And avert your gaze from
The weeping souls

No Tears
04:45
|
|||
Can you see me?
Do you know me?
Like you thought you did
As once I was
And you freed me
When you showed me
The way
Into your heart
So sha la la la la la la la la
Oh what more can you say?
After you cry yourself to sleep
And there are no tears left to weep
In the distance
Or when you’re near me
Can you feel me there?
As once I was
If you listen
You can hear me
In the dark
Crying out for love
So sha la la la la la la la la
Oh what more can you say?
After you cry yourself to sleep
And there are no tears left to weep

Take Me Home
04:02
|
|||
All eyes in
As the winds do toil and spin
Deciding who is flesh
And who is made of stone
Wild eyed I am
And the witness takes the stand
And in his hand
Reveals the pointing bone
And I wonder
Of those left all alone
I need someone to take me home
All eyes in
For the ending to begin
On the head of a pin
We dance into the storm
And I wonder
Of those left all alone
I need someone to take me home

You Turn Me On
02:57
|
|||
You say you wanna see me
But babe you make me wait so long
And it’s so hard to do what’s right
When all I wanna do is wrong
I can’t wait to fill my lungs with your scent
And feel your mark upon
My heart and my skin
Let me in
You turn me on
You turn me on
You turn me on
You turn me on and I feel alright
And I’d be lying if I told you
I had gentlemanly purpose in mind for you
Let me taste you again
I won’t waste a single drop of you
Put your mouth upon me, baby
Feel my broken heart and heal my scars
And paint your name upon my skin
Once again...
You turn me on
(Open up and take a chance, I move like lightning when you’re in your thunder pants)
You turn me on
(Where you been, girl, I don’t mind. I’m not the jealous but the loving kind)
You turn me on
(Close the window, shut the blinds, leave your panties and your past behind)
You turn me on and make me feel alive

A Willing Eye
05:40
|
|||
To see the sun in your heart
To feel the pain in your eyes
To realize you're alive when you’re most vulnerable
To letting go
Too late to beg you
Ooh you’re the only one I want
You are the voice I long to hear
To see with a willing eye is all it takes
To see with a willing eye is all it takes
We could never tear apart
The walls of the prisons
To see with a willing eye is all it takes
To realize you’re alive when you’re most vulnerable
To letting go
Two arms around you
Ooh you’re the only want I want
You lift me up above the Fear
To see with a willing eye is all it takes
To see with a willing eye is all it takes
We could never tell apart
The malls from the museums
To see with a willing eye is all it takes
No black rainbows
Dark angels
On the endless wire
No more fables
No pain
No desire
No black rainbows
Dark angels
In an endless spiral
At the table
Your will it will align
With the forces that surround you
With the forces that surround you
With the forces that surround you
With the forces that surround you
Love is the force that does surround you
