"A Dream Is Longer Than The Night"
"A Dream Is Longer Than The Night"
Kiss me in this long goodbye
Hear the new born angels cry
Watch the greed of night just die
A heart is wider than the sky
You question me I ask you why
You drop me off heavy and high
And as I fall a dream to fly
Fills my head a wish to lie
For sleep to come we all rely
A heart is wider than the sky
Heavy too we try and try
A dream is longer than the night
You get it wrong til it is right
It breaks you open and still you fight
A dream is longer than the night
A dream is longer than the night
In its darkness the only light
Out of blackness bursting white
A dream is longer than the night
Our love is stronger than this war
You want so little

"A Smile That Explodes"
"A Smile That Explodes"
Too young to fall
For a light I think I see
Can't say for sure
The plants have died,
My hair has grown
From the thought of you
Coming home
Cuz it ain't easier
Waking up at dawn
To find I lost my crown
If I found you there
With flowers in your hair
I'd hold you in my arms
Till we came back down
A smile that explodes
I could never understand
My room too small
To get by without the help of alcohol
Pin my arm to the wall
Now I'm too gone to fight
Not afraid to fall
Cuz it ain't easier
Waking up at dawn
To find I lost my crown
If I found you there
With flowers in your hair
I' d hold you in my arms
Until we came back down
A smile that explodes
I could never understand
I write one more
Letter I won't send
Except for across the floor

"Akron Skies"
"Akron Skies"
Underneath my world
There is no room to cry
The house comes crashing down
Almost every night
Underneath Akron skies
When he comes back home
My stomach will collapse
My sister she will hide
Both of us are trapped
Underneath Akron skies
And you’ll never get away
And you’ll never get away
And you’ll never get away
And you’ll never get away
Underneath my bed
My favorite place to hide
Pretending to be dead
They think I’m outside
Underneath Akron skies
And you’ll never get away
And you’ll never get away
And you’ll never get away
And you’ll never get away

"All Of Our Hands"
"All Of Our Hands"
Until we feed the starving, blood is on all of our hands
Babylon is burning and there is no promised land
Until we clothe the naked all of us are damned
Dreams are just for savages calling themselves men
And in time fire will rain down
On our head
The sky will open up
And life will be bled
We are all the same spirit, we are all the same love
And still somehow we've chosen to slaughter the white dove
There is only one energy just different sets of clothes
For human being is to dress up and protect what no one knows
So in time fire will rain down
On our head
The sky will open up
And life will be bled
All of us will fall into the same hole
And all will reunite into the same soul
The death that we allow is the death that is our own
The murders we commit are committed in our home
So in time fire will rain down On our head
The sky will open up
And life will be bled
Murdered by indifference, murdered by our greed
Murdered by our riches taken from the ones in need
Murdered in our churches and murdered by belief
We who just do nothing shall be murdered in our sleep
In time fire will rain down
On our heads
The sky will open up
And life will be bled
Truth is just a word said to the ones who plead
What will we get back when we plant a poison seed?
Consumed by our consumption that can never be enough
The hungry are attacking, they are swallowing our blood
And in time fire will rain down
On our head
The sky will open up
And life wil be bled
The victims are now victimized and the world is inside out
Everyone is terrified the faithful are in doubt
Religion is a gimmick we want back the god they stole
But everyone is fighting to go deeper in the hole
Some believe salvation comes when the world is gone
But we have been forsaken, there is nowhere we belong
So in time fire will rain down
On our head
The sky will open up
And life will be bled

"All The Old Heroes"
"All The Old Heroes"
Come over old stranger, let go of your dagger
You stagger and then you are saved
To wander in danger, a babe in the manger
Forgetting mistakes that you've made
Eyes like mine blinking
And endlessly drinking
Letting the warlords inside
Falling like mice into fires of ice
In death we find places to hide
All the old heroes are like children to me now
As I come to burn your shame away
Without knowing exactly how
All the old heroes, young babies without mothers
Left to die on apocalyptic streets
And where are these words from who spoke them before?
Coming down like flashes of heat
I'm never frightened, for death I still welcome
Death I have seen you before
I gave you my keys, my windows, my creeds
But soon I will give you much more
All the old heroes are like children to me now
As I come to burn your shame away
Without knowing exactly how
Love is a fix, a suicide wrist
Blood with an unending flow
To purify lands and soak in the sands
Of places that we'll never go
Jesus come calling
We'll be here and falling
Praying for your hand to show
Catch us in mercy, drink us when thirsty
Each of us falling like snow
All the old heroes are like children to me now
As I come to burn your shame away
Without knowing exactly how
Each one a cathedral
The last junkie needle
Stained glass from blood that is old
And in that cathedral, with the angels of nighttime
Pained in a window so cold
They see through your victims your painful musicians
Playing the saddest of songs
But nobody singing, just a ghost without dreaming
A voice that could right all the wrongs
All the old heroes are like children to me now
As I come to burn your shame away
Without knowing exactly how
Goodbye, sweet diamond the sky in the north wind
Is falling on lepers and snakes
Hello, young mercy, both blessed and thirsty
For solutions to so many mistakes
Without your lover, your tired wonder
The south rain threatens to pour
On skulls like crashing in sunlight basking
Ignoring the strongest of calls
You cannot save them without their consent
Your voice of mercy to them I have sent
You spoke through me
You, a good man
Grew up to listen and give me your hand
Your voice of mercy so strong and so true
It comes out in cascades without residue
Of darkness or lies or doubt or untruth
It's pure like the wind, the rain, and the youth
All the old heroes are like children to you now
As you go to burn their shame away
Without knowing exactly how
All the old heroes are like children to you now
As you go to burn their shame away

"Almost Blue"
"Almost Blue"
Playing with your toy soldiers
You don't know what they're for
So you just make lots of noises
Decide who wins the war
Now you're playing with matches
Even though you've be warned
That something evil could happen
You don't care 'cause you're bored
In your hideaway
Almost new
Almost blue
In your hideaway
Almost new
Almost blue
In the middle of summer
It's only you and your friends
Each of you trying to go under
But hoping it never ends
You finally make it to winter
And all rejoice in the snow
Crawling over each other
There's nowhere else you can go
In your hideaway
Almost new
Almost blue
In your hideaway
Almost new
Almost blue
And you're never going back to there
No you're never going back again
Until you're blue
And you're never going back to there
No you're never going back again
Until you're blue
In your hideaway

"And The Night Goes On"
"And The Night Goes On"
With the weight of the world I can't get on
Dying of this thirst drinking from your cup
Let me be the first one
To say good-bye
From the depths that you plunge
To get high
Look into your eyes nothing is real
Why do you pretend that you still feel/fear
Let me be the first one
To say hello
To the space that you will leave
When you go
Walk away
Over me
From your pain you are free
No one has to know
Where we have been
We don't have to trust us all
Or pretend
From the highways of lonely kinda years have lost
And for the minutes of pleasure no matter what they cost
Let me be the first one
To say good-bye
From the depths that you will plunge
To get high
Walk away
Over me
From your pain you are free
No one has to know
Where you have been
You will have to trust us all
Or pretend
And the night goes on

"Anywhere With You"
"Anywhere With You"
(Check)
Belief is just a resident
Of things you heard when the pain was clear
You've been traveling in so far
Only to find out your still nowhere near
You're the creator of the gods
And the whores of the Babylon
Most just want your money
But one or two will kill you for a song
Singing to the drifter
Singing to the banker and the maid
Singing to the sling shots
Singing to the diamond and the ???
And the Thieves are gone
And the thieves are gone
And the thieves are gone
I'm ready to go anywhere
Anywhere with you
And we sing this song over over
With you my love
Shouting at the fire engines
Rolling down Jefferson at dawn
Everyone corrupted
And looking like there's nowhere to belong
I see your eye's are spinning
Swallowing the world the way it blooms
The walls began to dance
And your thoughts began appearing in balloons
So when the strangers sugar coat servants at the seam
As the beggars bleeding butchers betting back the bread the bank round you to bring
And trucks with number flames roll undisturbed thru greenhill, so will I
Your trying to nurse the sprit, but it's enough for most just to survive
And their eye's are gone
I'm ready to go anywhere
Anywhere with you
And we sing this song over over
With you my love
Someone needs an operator
Someone else is broken on the road
The one by loves it's self too much
That never got around to explode
Games and animators say
We'll be forgiven and do time
But there has always been an alligator
Biting off the heads of those who shine
Nothing here is real
And nothing here holds any true weight
Heading out of Troutville
Bleeding hands reaching for the bank
Pull me from the stream
And I will fight like danger in the air
And as you are driving by the accident
Each review will start to stare
I'm sending you a postcard
I'm ready to go anywhere
Anywhere with you
As we sing this song over over
With you my love
I'm sending you a post card
But I am nowhere
And you are nowhere too
Well I don't have a stamp
So I'll just burn it if it's all the same to you
It held no information
Cause every word that's spoken is a lie
For you were never born
So there is no way you will ever die
What's the use of feeling for someone
That you made up in your mind
You dream that you are lost
And you imagine that there is a you to find
But there just ain't nobody
No savior, no heaven and no hell
Just a load of broken junk
You're looking for an idiot to sell
Your life it doesn't work
But you've resigned yourself to live it till the end
The way you look so kind
But no one seems to notice so you just pretend
Then you get depressed
I'm ready to go anywhere
Any where with you
As we sing this song over over
With you my love
Then you get depressed
[?]
So you find yourself a doctor and a pill
To make the line more comfortable
And make-believe your following your will

"Ashes Everywhere"
"Ashes Everywhere"
I'll be silent in my solitude
Can't fight my smile
Or my gratitude
I'm afraid of what I might do
'Cuz there's no me if there's no me and you
I wish that I could open up your eyes
To feel the sun that burns in your mind
I can't deal with what you have done
Reincarnate I wonder who I might become
Without potential I'm already gone
I could be as fresh as hard bubblegum
I don't have nothing now
I want me some
First some of you
Then some of everyone
Oh darling since you've been away from me
I know how the pins fill
In the bowling alley
They say love is something you feel but never see
When I see you
I finally disagree
I'm just trying to be all that I can be
Without destroying you now
Or joining the army
Your ashes must be blowing everywhere
'Cuz I can seem to feel you
And you're nowhere near
And though you didn't say so
I can tell that you still care
We could have had it all
But then, nothing is fair
I still think about washing your hair
I wish I could wash away all of your despair
