"11 A.M."

"11 A.M."


seven a.m.,
the garbage truck beeps as it backs up
and I start my day thinking about what I've thrown away.
Could I push rewind?
The credits traverse signifying the end but I missed the best part.
Could we please go back to start?

Forgive my indecision

Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side.
But then again, a day will come when I want off that ride.

eleven a.m.,
by now you would think that I would be up
but my bedsheets shade the heat of choices I've made.
And what did I find?
I never thought I could want someone so much
'cause now you're not here and I'm knee deep in
that old fear.

Forgive my indecision... I am only a man

Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side.
But then again, a day will come when I want off that ride.

Twelve pm and my dusty telephone rings.
Heavy head up from my pillow, who could it be?
I hope it's you.

"A Certain Shade Of Green"

"A Certain Shade Of Green"


A certain shade of green,
tell me, is that what you need?
All signs around say move ahead.
Could someone please explain to me your ever present
lack of speed?
Are your muscles bound by ropes?
Or do crutches cloud your day?
My sources say the road is clear,
and street signs point the way.
Are you gonna stand around till 2012 A.D.?
What are you waiting for,
A certain shade of green?
I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate.
What are you waiting for,
A certain shade of green?
Would a written invitation
signed, "Choose now or lose it all,"
sedate your hesitation?
Or inflame and make you stall?
You've been raised in limitation,
but that glove never fit quite right.
The time has passed for hand-me-downs,
choose anew, please evolve,
take flight
What are you waiting for?
A written invitation?
A public declaration?
A private consolation?

"A Crow Left Of The Murder"

"A Crow Left Of The Murder"


Un-learn me
Ditch what I read
Behind what I heard

Look Find Free
Yet? Do you get it yet?
Do you get it?
From here on it's instinctual
Even straight roads meander
Every piece contains a map of...
It all!
It all!

Evidence
In the march of the ant
Pulse of the sea

Look Find Free
Yet? Do you get it yet?
Do you get it?
From here on it's instinctual
Even straight roads meander
Every piece contains a map of it all! It all!
Out of line and indivisible
A crow left of the murder
Every piece contains a map of it all

Everything I wanted, wanted to know
Everything I wanted, wanted to see

Un-learn me
Do you get it yet?
Look, find, free
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?

"A Kiss To Send Us Off"

"A Kiss To Send Us Off"


Meet me here
On November 11th, come alone
Bring your mouth
and selective irreverence
We'll both see stars. Just...
One more tongue kiss before
the sky it falls
out from this cloud we're
hovering on!
(A kiss to send us off! A kiss to send us off! A kiss to send us off!)
Kill your doubt
With the coldest of weapons; confidence
No more words
Just the sound of resplendent
tongues colliding
One more tongue kiss before
the sky it falls out from this cloud we're
hovering on!
(A kiss to send us off! A kiss to send us off! A kiss to send us off!)
Here I am
There you are
On the wire connecting our hearts
There's a string, that is tied, to a kite.
There's a storm, in the sky
Now the clouds become electric
There you are
Here I am
Could I...
Have a...
kiss to send us off? A kiss to send us off! A kiss to send us off! A kiss to send us off!

"Absolution Calling"

"Absolution Calling"


It's like an intuition or a feeling in the air
An intangible impression that's always everywhere
You bit into the apple, laid down your sword an shield
(Untie! A little bit dies, a little each time, the medicine smile)
Then spun 'round like a gyre in the unified field!
(Inside, your elegant guide, an arrow in flight a million miles)

I remember feeling the opposite of falling
(Into that spot where we untie every knot)
Spinning past the ceiling, absolution calling...
"Are you there, or not?"

It's an open invitation, come see the sights of sages
We've been a pride of lions so afraid to leave our cages
Don't fret over the pieces that smolder in the sun
(Untie! A little bit dies, a little each time, the medicine smile)
'Cause nothing can be broken when everything is one
(Inside, your elegant guide, an arrow in flight a million miles)

I remember feeling the opposite of falling
(Into that spot where we untie every knot)
Spinning past the ceiling, absolution calling...
"Are you there, or not?"

You bit into the apple, laid down your sword an shield
(Untie! A little bit dies, a little each time, the medicine smile)
Then spun 'round like a gyre in the unified field!
(Inside, your elegant guide, an arrow in flight a million miles)

I remember feeling the opposite of falling
(Into that spot where we untie every knot)
Spinning past the ceiling, absolution calling...
"Are you there, or not?"

"Admiration"

"Admiration"


Could you move in slow motion?
Everything goes by so fast
Just slow down a little
Save the best part for last
You speak in riddles
Your intentions turn me on
I'm your's forever
Will you love me when I'm gone?
When I'm gone!
When I'm gone,
You're an unfenced fire!
(When I'm gone,)
Over walls we've trampled!
(When I'm gone,)
It's you I admire!
(When I'm gone,)
My living example...
Your eyes are an undiscovered ocean far away
Any minute now keeping
Both poets and priests at bay
Don't get ahead of me
Could we just this once see eye to eye?
Could you want perhaps me?
Ask me how it feels to vie
To vie!
You're an unfenced fire! (to vie)
Over walls we trampled! (to vie)
It's you I admire! (to vie)
My living example...
It's a photograph discovered a decade after
It's a cannon blast disguised as a firecracker
It's enough to bring a brick wall to its knees
And sing, please
Could you move in slow motion?
Everything goes by so fast
Just slow down a little
Save the best part for last
For last!
You're an unfenced fire! (for last)
Over walls we trampled! (for last)
It's you I admire! (for last)
My living example...
My living example...
It's you I admire!!
My living example

"Adolescents"

"Adolescents"


I'm feeling out of bounds, out of bounds
I'm running out of time, out of time
I know there's no such thing as either of them
But its doesn't make me feel any better
Out of sight, out of mind
Out of sight, out of mind
We're out of time
We're out of mind
Out of mind
Out of mind
Yeah, yeah
I’m feeling overwhelmed, overwhelmed
It’s getting out of line, line, line
I know I’m not alone
Just adolescents, you and I
It doesn’t make me feel any better
Out of sight, out of mind
Out of sight, out of mind
We're out of time
We're out of mind
Out of mind
Out of mind
Yeah, yeah
Out of sight, out of mind
Out of sight, out of mind
We're out of time
We're out of mind
Out of mind
Out of mind
We're out of mind
Yeah

"Agoraphobia"

"Agoraphobia"


Two people touching lips
Hands on each other's hips
Nothing else in the world but one another

The 42nd floor
On a distant shore
I wonder how we strayed so far from this

Remember when we were
Just flesh and bone. You sir,
May have forgotten how good your world could be

So, put down your hollow tips
And kiss your lovers lips
And know that fate is what you make of it

Please end this [x2]
Before this ends us
Ends us [x2]

I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside
For good [x8]

I read the news today
And everything they say
Just makes me want to stay inside and wait

But a part of me knows
That waiting in the throes
Is on a par with reading with my eyes closed

"What Can I do?", You say
It's just another day
In the life of apes with ego trips

Put down your hollow tips
And kiss your lover's lips
And know that fate is what we make of it

Please end this [x2]
Before this ends us
Ends us [x2]

I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside
For good

I'm gonna stay inside
I'm gonna stay inside for good
I'm gonna stay inside
For Good

I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside
Don't want to stay inside for good
For good [x8]
Fuck off
For good [x2]

"Anna-Molly"

"Anna-Molly"


A cloud hangs over this city by the sea,
I watch the ships pass and wonder if she might be,
Out there and sober as a well for loneliness,
Please do persist girl its time we met and made, a mess
I picture your face in the back of my eyes,
A fire in the attic a proof of the prize,
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly...
Doo doo doo doo do doo doo doo doo doo
A cloud hangs over,
And mutes my happiness,
A thousand ships couldn't sail me back from distress,
Wish you were here,
I'm a wounded satellite,
I need you now put me back together make me right
I picture your face in the back of my eyes a fire in the attic a proof of the prize,
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly
I'm calling your name up into the air
Not one of the others could ever compare!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly!
Wait there is a light,
There is a fire illuminated attic,
Fate or something better I could care less,
Just stay with me a while,
Wait there is a light, there is a fire defragmenting the attic,
Fate or something better I could care less,
Just stay with me a while
I picture your face in the back of my eyes a fire in the attic a proof of the prize,
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly,
I'm calling your name up into the air.
Not one of the others could ever compare!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly!
