"To Forgive"

"To Forgive"


Ten times removed
I forget about where it all began
Bastard son of a bastard son of
A wild eyed child of the sun
And right as rain, I'm not the same but
I feel the same, I feel nothing
Holding back the fool again
Holding back the fool pretends
I forget to forget nothing is important
Holding back the fool again
I sensed my loss
Before I even learned to talk
And I remember my birthdays
Empty party afternoons won't come back
Holding back the fool again
Holding back the fool pretends
I forget to forget nothing is important
Holding back the fool again
I forget to forget me
I forget to forget you see
Nothing is important to me
I knew my loss
Before I even learned to speak
And all along, I knew it was wrong
But I played along, with my birthday song
Holding back the fool again
Holding back the fool pretends
I forget to forget nothing is important
Holding back the fool again

"To Sheila"

"To Sheila"


Twilight fades
Through blistered avalon
The sky's cruel torch
On aching autobahn
Into the uncertain divine
We scream into the last divide

You make me real
You make me real
Strong as i feel
You make me real

Sheila rides on crashing nightingale
Intake eyes leave passing vapor trails
With blushing brilliance alive
Because it's time to arrive

You make me real
You make me real
Strong as i feel
You make me real

Lately I just can't seem to believe
Discard my friends to change the scenery
It meant the world to hold a bruising faith
But now it's just a matter of grace

A summer storm graces all of me
Highway warm sing silent poetry
I could bring you the light
And take you home into the night

You make me real
Lately I just can't seem to believe
You make me real
Discard my friends to change the scenery
Strong as i feel
It meant the world to hold a bruising faith
You make me real
But now it's just a matter of grace

"Today"

"Today"


Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out

I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face

Today is the greatest
Day I've never known
Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out

Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings

Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day

I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you

Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever really known

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"


Farther down along the range
Where the wise ones kept at bay
Those that wish secrets stay secret, for morning mass
I tell myself, It's where I belong
Among the waves and the dead and gone
With my ancestors drums
Here comes the morning man
He's gonna tell you where you stand
Gonna try to undertake what's falling, he's calling you
Here comes the morning man
He's here and yes he can
Penetrate the veils that you're holding, unfolding you
Sha-la-la-la [x3]
This sign of a solstice bare
Where autumn shows its truthful air
Is when I'm vowed to empty scare the precious stars of morning prayers
I tell myself it's who you are
An orphan soul on a distant star

Listening for those bells
Here comes the morning man
He's here and yes he can
Penetrate the veils that you're holding, unfolding you

Here comes the morning man
He's gonna tell you where you stand
Gonna try to undertake what's falling, he's calling you
Sha-la-la-la [x3]
Here comes the morning man
Sha-la-la-la
Here comes the morning man
He's watching, unfolding you
Here comes the morning man
He's watching, watching you

"Tonight, Tonight"

"Tonight, Tonight"


Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe
That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same, we're different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe
In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there's not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
We'll crucify the insincere tonight
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
We'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight

"Tonite Reprise"

"Tonite Reprise"


And the embers never fade in my city by the lake
The place where I was born
As the wind-up toys wind down
Muffling the sound of a life hidden underground
Believe, believe in me
Believe
That you can change, that you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same, we're different tonite
We'll the crucify the insincere tonite
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonite
The impossible is possible tonite
Believe in me like I believe in you tonite

"Tristessa"

"Tristessa"


Pledged your faith
My heart embraced
Struggle to renew

Blurry mind
so hypnotized
Fast enough who

Wonder where you are
Tristessa

Soul takes soul
As I take eye
I will wait for you

Hang on to your life
Tristessa

I love you true
Surely I do
I love you true
Surely I do
Surely I do
Surely I do (no)

Do you ever wake up and find yourself alone?
Do you ever wake far from home?
What you believe
You'll wish to recieve
I won't believe in you
Tristessa
Tristessa
Tristessa

"Try, Try, Try"

"Try, Try, Try"


Pop tart
What's our mission
Do we know
But never listen
For too long
They held me under
But I hear
It's almost over
In Detroit
On a Memphis train
Like you said it's
Down in the heat and the summer rain of
The automatic gauze of your memories
Down in the sleep at the airplane races
Try to hold on
To this heart
A little bit longer
Try to hold on
To this love aloud
Try to hold on
For this heart's
A little bit colder
Try to hold on
To this love
Paperback scrawl your hidden poems
Written around the dried out flowers
Here we are still trading places
To try to hold on
Pop tart
Can you envision
A free world
Of clear division
For too long
They held us under
But I know
We're getting over
In Detroit
With the Nashville tears
Like you said it's
Down in the heat with the broken numbers
Down in the gaze of solemnity
Down in the way you've held together
To try to hold on
To this heart
A little bit closer
Try to hold on
To this love aloud
Try to hold on
For this heart's
A little bit older
Try to hold on
To this love aloud
And we are still alive
Try to hold on
And we have survived
Try to hold on
And no one should deny
We tried to hold onto the pulse of the feedback current
Into the flow of encrypted movement
Slapback kills the ancient remnants
That try to hold on
Try to hold on
To this heart alive
Try to hold on
To this love aloud
Try to hold on
And we are still alive
Try to hold on
And we have survived
Try to hold on
Pop tart
You never listen
Skinned knees
Try to hold on
Stop start
What's our mission
Skinned knees
Try to hold on

"United States"

"United States"


Tired eyes
Closed for days
There's no regret
'Cause there's no place
I don't know
What I believe
But if I feel safe
What do I need

A home
A home
A home

Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do to me
What will they do to me
What will they do to me
What will they do to me

Dulcet tongues
Whisper fast
The future yearns
Right now's the past
Rouse me soon
The end draws nigh
Who's side are you on
Your blood you cannot buy

Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do to you

Well I
I feel alright
So tonight
I got to ask you why
Why deny it
It's no surprise
I've got to survive

Freedom shines the light ahead
I'll lead the last charge to bed
I said my last rights
I don't have to run scared no more

Fight
I wanna fight
I wanna fight a revolution
Tonight
I wanna fight
I wanna fight a revolution
Tonight
At the light
At the light
Do you wanna watch me die

Let me be something good
Let me prove something real like I should
Let me embrace every single living thing
Let me be every single moment I ever misunderstood

"Untitled"

"Untitled"


Should I know what we're missing
What's to stop what they're missing
To feel love, to be in love all around

Anyone can hold a promise
Not everyone
Can feel honoured
To be in love, to feel love all around

Turn me on, hear me speak
Let me be what I need
You're enough for me

Many times while you sleep
I'm dreaming of what to keep
To know your wish, to hold it true
To slay the things that trouble you

Turn me on, out of reach
Listen here, feel me
Just believe, just believe you'll see

To feel love
To be in love all around

Hold the truth if you want it
If you don't, I won't flaunt it
To feel love, to be in love all around

When you're young you can promise
Anything that you wanted
To be in love, to feel love all around

Turn me on, let me speak
From my heart I receive
Plain happiness, just happiness
You and me

To feel love
To be in love all around
To be in love
To feel love all around
To feel love
To be in love all around
To be in love
To feel love all around

I know your wish, I hold it true (feel love all around)
To hide the things that trouble you (feel love all around)
Turn me on out of reach (feel love all around)
Let me speak all my peace (feel love all around)
Just believe what you keep (feel love all around)
You'll never need to hurry me (feel love all around)

To feel love
To be in love all around
To be in love
To feel love all around
To feel love
To be in love all around
To be in love
To feel love all around
