"Deck The Halls"

"Deck The Halls"


Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
'Tis the season to be jolly
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Don we now our gay apparel
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Fa, la, la, la, la
Fa, la, la, la, la
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

"Devastation And Reform"

"Devastation And Reform"


Fear can drive stick
And it's taking me down this road
A road down which
I swore I'd never go
And here I sit
Thinking of God knows what
Afraid to admit
I might self-destruct

So lock the windows
And bolt the door
'Cause I've got enough problems
Without creating more

I feel like I was born
To devastation and reform
Destroying everything I loved
And the worst part is
I pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
The shell of what I had when I first started

Usually I'll cause my own first hit
It seems to me to be slightly masochistic
But there'd be no story
Without all this descension
So I inflict the conflict
With the utmost of intention

So lock the windows
And bolt the door
'Cause I've got enough problems
Without creating more

I feel like I was born
To devastation and reform
Destroying everything I loved
And the worst part is
I pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
The shell of what I had when I first started

Thank you God
For giving me the insight
So I might make
These wrongs right
If and when
There ever is a next time
Cuz failure is a blessing in disguise

Pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
The shell of what I had when I first started
The shell of what I had when I first started

I feel like I was born
To devastation and reform
Destroying everything I loved
And the worst part is
I pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
The shell of what I had when I first started
(When I first started)
(The shell of what I had when I first started)

"Disaster"

"Disaster"


I've been spending all my time falling in love
Should know better but it's so much fun when I'm with you
Now there's a missing person poster hanging up at the bar
Cause I
I've got a girl
I think we're in love
But oh for how long
It's got disaster
Written all over
So don't nobody show her
Our horrorscope headline
Disaster
Written all over it

No you didn't
No no you didn't, did you
Pull out the wires
Make a man out of me
I'm trying to figure out
If life's worth living without you
Hope I never have to
The stars could align
Or explode in the sky
Disaster

Baby, you look so sexy
So what do I do when
We get home from church and the baby
Is in her room sleepin'
Or watchin' a movie
You get closer to me
Oh this has disaster written all over it
Yeah yeah yeah

I'm trying to figure out
If life's worth living without you
Hope I never have to
The stars could align
Or explode in the sky
If I already know about
Everything that could bring us down
But I react a bit faster
I'm averting disaster
One day at a time
Disaster
Disaster
Oh, disaster
Disaster
Did you pull out the wires
Make a man out of me

I'm trying to figure out
If life's worth living without you
Hope I never have to
It could be disaster
If I don't even try

If I already know about
Everything that could bring us down
But I react a bit faster
I'm averting disaster
One day at a time
Disaster
Disaster
Disaster
Disaster

"Don't Blink"

"Don't Blink"


Don't know where to go from here
My thoughts are tangled, twisted fears
Been waitin' a while now on the dawn
Seems like the sun may never come

I made my way through the darkest night
To the break of day on the other side
For some time the light's been creepin' in
Now I'm feelin' like I could trust again

You're the only person who reminds me
Love is beautiful and true
Life is beautiful and new
You're the only person who reminds me

Hold on now don't you blink or it's gone
I've been terrified of life for way too long
Oh no now don't you blink or it's gone
In another life who knows what we'd become?

Love is beautiful and true
Life is beautiful and new

Been making plans and drawing maps
I plan to take the righteous path
And hope and pray it leads me back
To all the happiness I had

Been making lists and crossing off
Every kiss that wasn't love
And every word that stretched the truth
Like when she said she loved me

You're the only person who reminds me

Hold on now don't you blink or it's gone
I've been terrified of life for way too long
Oh no now don't you blink or it's gone
In another life who knows what we'd become?

Hold on now don't you blink or it's gone
Hold on now don't you blink or it's gone
In another life who knows what we'd become?

Love is beautiful and true
Life is beautiful and new

Been making lists and crossing off
Every kiss that wasn't love
And every word that stretched the truth
Like when she said she loved me

"Down In Flames"

"Down In Flames"


Christians-- we're all afraid of fire.
We prefer to suck on pacifiers.
Baby pacifists, we're throwing fits.
We don't shake hands, we shake our fists.

We're cannibals.
We watch our brothers fall.
We eat our own, the bones and all.

Finally fell asleep on the plane
to wake to see we're going down in flames.

We're going down, down, down in flames.
We're gonna drown, drown, drown insane.

We see the problem and the risk,
but nothing's solved.
We just say, "Tisk, tisk, tisk,"
and, "Shame, shame, shame."

Finally fell asleep on the plane
to wake to see we're going down in flames.

Let's go!

Christians-- we mourn, the thorn is stuck
in the side of the body watch it self-destruct.
The enemy is much ignored
when we fight this Christian civil war.

We're cannibals.
We watch our brothers fall.
We eat our own, the bones and all.

Finally fell asleep on the plane
to wake to see we're going down in flames.

We're going down, down, down in flames.
We're gonna drown, drown, drown insane.

We see the problem and the risk,
but nothing's solved.
We just say, "Tisk, tisk, tisk,"
and, "Shame, shame, shame."

Finally fell asleep on the plane
to wake to see we're going down in flames.

Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Bana na na na, na na na

Let me pause to clarify
('cause I'm sure you're asking, "Why?").
I stand before you and proudly claim
to belong to what this song complains.

I'm part of the problem,
I confess,
But I gotta get this off my chest.

Let's extinguish the anguish
for which we're to blame,
and save the world
from going down in flames.

"Earth Day"

"Earth Day"


Happy Earth day to you
Happy Earth day to you
Happy Earth day dear planet
Happy Earth day to you

And many more
Oh and many more
From the golden coast
All the way to the Jersey shores
I'll hope you live forever
Or at least don't die before
Me

Happy Earth day dear planet
Happy Earth day to you

"Elephant Parade"

"Elephant Parade"


(Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade)
(Hip hip hooray for the elephants on parade)

Take the gist of it and twist it
'Til it makes you smile
And don't be scared if there's a snare
Sometimes it takes a while
There's much to learn from every turn inside a labyrinth
Don't you try to think about it
No way to talk about it

And I will ever change and never cease to be amazed
It bubbles up and overflows and then it goes away
I want to hold and nurture every second of this life
That has been given to me
Even though limitedly

Jackrabbit, snake pit runnin' oh
My my, been a long time comin' home
Jackrabbit dying deep down in his soul

Dang-nab-it, you hate me, but hey now
Hip-hip hooray with your baritones on your hip
Hip hooray for the elephants on parade

You're preaching to the chorus
Line alright for this whole time
And I'm fine if I can
Tell a lie about the minor crimes
I won't try to justify the reason why
I think that I'll never die is so preposterous

It's like a bag of circus peanuts in a sewage drain
Or airin' out your dirty laundry on a weather vane
Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade
They're gonna trample themselves
They're gonna trample themselves

Jackrabbit, snake pit runnin' oh
My my, been a long time comin' home
Jackrabbit dying deep down in his soul

Dang-nab-it, you hate me, but hey now
Hip-hip hooray with your baritones on your hip
Hip hooray for the elephants on parade

I got the feeling that I wanna be alone with you
And I got the feeling that you
Might want to be alone with me too
Take a finger and snap, just like that
And I had to say hey baby let's go
And make it home for our show
Simple defragmentation gets us to the point of that
But no relaxing 'til they give us all our memory back
Touché but they had the wherewithal
To take it all out of order anyway
They can always make you pay up

And I will ever change and never cease to be amazed
It bubbles up and overflows and then it goes away
I want to hold and nurture every second of this life
That has been given to me
Even though limitedly
Like a bag of circus peanuts in a sewage drain
Or airin' out your dirty laundry on a weather vane

Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade
Hip hooray for the elephants on parade

Take the gist of it and twist it 'til it makes you smile
And don't be scared if there's a snare
Sometimes it takes a while
There's much to learn from every turn inside a labyrinth
Don't you try to think about it
Ain't no way to talk about it
And I will ever change and never cease to be amazed
It bubbles up and overflows and then it goes away
I want to hold and nurture every second of this life
That has been given to me, even though limitedly

Jackrabbits, snake pit runnin' oh
My my been a long time coming
Jackrabbits, snake pit running
Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade

"Empty House"

"Empty House"


There was this time when I was thinking about something insides
And you can think the same thing that you want
And everything about you
All the things that get this on my mind I'm crazy now
You got this some days and out of town to get this step right
It still gives my heart ache
Yeah, there's so much give and get and you've come and gone
And turn it down tonight

An empty house
Time to get myself back home
Nothing but an empty house
Living without you
An empty house
Time to get myself back home
Nothing but an empty house
Living without you

You got this thing about you
Everything that I think about you
Is gonna go and make me something else
You've been the smile on my face for about until this day
You believe it's true, and I believe it too
And everything's gonna be alright
When you say, "I, I've got this thing about you"

An empty house
Time to get myself back home
Nothing but an empty house
Living without you
An empty house
Time to get myself back home
Nothing but an empty house
Nothing but an empty house
Nothing but an empty house

There was this time in my life
You had this minute but it, it lasted oh for many days
And I don't know what that is
But everybody knows that I'm about to mumble out some...
And that's the last time I could say it with a straight face
I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow
And baby I don't wanna do it unless you're

"Everything Will Be"

"Everything Will Be"


It smells so sweet outside today. The sun smiles down, I'm in the shade. I sit and think about all my friends and how good they are. But when today is yesterday, I know that things won't stay the same. But I know that the memories won't go too far. Round and round the world will turn. Lessons taught and lessons learned. Jesus gets us through the good and bad times. And lets us know that everything will be just fine. A year's passed since I wrote this song. A lot's gone right a lot's gone wrong. But I know that Jesus has been there right by my side. And I see the sun still shines. It shines outside and in my life, and I know that everything is gonna be just fine.

"Failure To Excommunicate"

"Failure To Excommunicate"


It's the principle
it's the issue that your principal would dismiss you.
Because you don't fit into that all-American Box.
That coffin created for creative thought.
It's disgusting his priorities
And how we're entrusting him with authority.
His gavel's gone down before he looked in your
heart. He finished this race(ism) before he reached the start.
Jesus loved the outcasts.
He loves the ones the world just loves to hate.
And as long as there's a heaven, there'll be a failure to excommunicate.
The world just keeps you at an arm's length.
Every week you work up the strength to fight the flames that are hurled.
Let your faith shine right through.
You know it's the world
versus Jesus and you. It's disgusting, their priorities.
And how we're entrusting them with
authority.
Their gavel's gone down before they looked in your heart.
They finished this race(ism).
