Light green to green, dark green, brown
Every life is falling down Brown to black, it's coming back Dies to be part of the ground Seed to seedling, root to stem Eyes, no eyes, there's no difference Every life is looking in Swallowing seeds on the deathbed Dig a hole in the garden Everyone is practicing But this world's an accident I was the fool because I thought I thought the world Turns out the world thought me It's all the other way around We're upside down Dad, he's gone up in flames But this ain't no movie This ain't no book you can close When the big lie hits your eye Everyone is practicing Our world's an accident I was the fool because I thought I thought the world Turns out the world thought me It's all the other way 'round We're upside down Down, down, down Let the fluency set it down Down Let the fluency set it down There's an upside of down The moon is rolling 'round our world The moon is rolling 'round our world Our world Our world |

Is this just another day?
This God forgotten place First comes love, then comes pain Let the games begin Questions rise and answers fall Insurmountable Love boat captain Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear, here It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough Is this just another phase Of earthquakes making waves? Trying to shake the cancer off Aah, stupid human beings Once you hold the hand of love It's all surmountable Hold me and make it the truth That when all is lost, there'll be you 'Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing And there's just one word I still believe And it's love It's an art to live with pain Mix the light into gray Lost nine friends we'll never know Two years ago today And if our lives became too long Would it add to our regret? And the young, they can lose hope 'Cause they can't see beyond today The wisdom that the old can't give away, hey Constant recall Sometimes life don't leave you alone Hold me and make it the truth That when all is lost, there will be you 'Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing And there's just one word that I still believe And it's love, love, love, love, love Love boat captain take the reigns Steer us towards the clear I know it's already been sung Can't be said enough Love is all you need All you need is love, love, love |

The selfish, they're all standing in line
Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time Me, I figure as each breath goes by I only own my mind The north is to south what the clock is to time There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life I know I was born and I know that I'll die The in-between is mine I am mine And the feeling, it gets left behind All the innocence lost at one time Significant behind the eyes There's no need to hide We're safe tonight The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying The full moon is looking for friends at high tide The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied I only know my mind I am mine And the meaning, it gets left behind All the innocence lost at one time Significant behind the eyes There's no need to hide We're safe tonight, whoa And the feelings that get left behind All the innocence broken with lies Significance between the lines We may need to hide And the meanings that get left behind All the innocence lost at one time We're all different behind the eyes There's no need to hide |

He could have tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him Alone in a corridor waiting locked out He got up out of there, ran for hundreds of miles He made it to the ocean, had a smoke and tea The wind rose up, set him down on his knee Wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw, Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at him now..." Arms wide open with the sea as his floor Oh ? ah, ohhh... He's - flying! Woah! Flying! Wide! Oh... He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share His key to the locks on the chains, he saw everywhere But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed By faceless men, well...fuckers, he still stands. And he still gives his love, he just gives it away The love he receives is the love that is saved And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky A human being that was given to fly Flying! Woah... High! Flying! Woah... Flying! Woah... Ohh, oahh... |

Know a man
His face seems pulled and tense Like he's riding on a motorbike In the strongest winds So I approach with tact Suggest that he should relax But he's always moving Much too fast Said he'll see me on the flip side On this trip he's taking for a ride He's been taking too much on There he goes with his perfectly unkempt clothes There he goes... He's yet to come back But I've seen his picture It doesn't look the same Up on the rack We go way back I wonder about his insides It's like his thoughts are too big for his size He's been taken Where I don't know Off he goes with his perfectly unkempt clothes There he goes And now I rub my eyes For he has returned Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned For he still smiles And he's still strong Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit That has grown And now he's home And we're laughing like we always did My same old Same old friend Until a quarter-to-ten I saw the strain creep in He seems distracted And I know just what is going to happen then Before his first step He is off again |

I've used hammers made out of wood
I have played games with pieces and rules I've deciphered tricks at the bar But now you're gone I haven't figured out why I've come up with riddles and jokes about war I figured out numbers and what they're for I've understood feelings and I've understood words But how could you be taken away? And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go It don't seem fair, today just disappeared Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar We were but stones, your light made us stars With heavy breath, awakened regrets Back pages and days alone that could have been spent Together, but we were miles apart Every inch between us becomes light years now No time to be void or save up on life Oh, you got to spend it all And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go It don't seem fair, you seemed to like it here Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar We were but stones, your light made us stars And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go It don't seem fair, today just disappeared Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar We were but stones, your light made us stars |

Do you see the way that tree bends?
Does it inspire? Leaning out to catch the sun's rays. A lesson to be applied. Are you getting something out of this All-encompassing trip? You can Spend your time alone Re-digesting past regrets, oh. Or you can come to terms and realize, You're the only one who can forgive yourself, for... Makes much more sense To live In the present tense. Have you ideas on how this life ends? Checked your hands and studied the lines. Have you the belief That the road ahead Ascends off into the light Seems that needlessly It's getting harder To find an approach and a way to live. Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip? You can spend your time alone Re-digesting past regrets, oh. Or you can Come to terms and Realize You're the only one Who cannot forgive yourself for... Makes much more sense To live In the present tense. |

How does he do it? How do they do it? Uncanny and immutable
This is such a happening tailpipe of a party Like sugar, the guests are so refined A confidence man, but why so beleaguered? He's not a leader, he's a Texas leaguer Swinging for the fence, got lucky with a strike Drilling for fear makes the job simple Born on third, thinks he got a triple Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way I remember when you sang That song about today Now it's tomorrow and Everything has changed A think tank of aloof multiplication A nicotine wish and a columbus decanter Retrenchment and hoggishness The aristocrat choir sings "What's the ruckus?" The haves have not a clue The immenseness of suffering And the odd negotiation, a rarity With onion-skin plausibility of life And a keyboard reaffirmation Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way I remember when you sang That song about today Now it's tomorrow and Everything has changed. |

Time to emancipate I guess it was the beatings, made me wise But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize I couldn't breathe, holding me down Hand on my face, pushed to the ground Enmity gauged, united by fear Forced to endure what I could not forgive I seem to look away Wounds in the mirror waved It wasn't my surface most defiled Head at your feet, fool to your crown Fist on my plate, swallowed it down Enmity gauged, united by fear Tried to endure what I could not forgive Saw things Saw things Saw things Saw things Clearer Clearer Once you were in my rear view mirror I gather speed from you, fucking with me Once and for all, I'm far away I hardly believe, finally the shades are raised Hey, yeah Saw things so much clearer Once you, once you Rear view mirror Saw things so much clearer Once you, once you Rear view mirror Saw things so much clearer Once you, once you Rear view mirror Saw things so much clearer Once you Oh yeah |

Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name Lifetimes are catching up with me All these changes taking place I wish I'd seen the place, but no one's ever taken me Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away I swear I recognize your breath Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising Me you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate Perhaps that's what no one wants to see I just wanna scream hello My god, it's been so long, never dreamed you'd return But now here you are, and here I am Hearts and thoughts, they fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade |

She lived on the curve in the road
In an old tar paper shack. On the south side of the town On the wrong side of the tracks. Sometimes on the way into town We'd say, "Mama can we stop and give her a ride?" Sometimes we did But her hands flew from her side. Wild eyed Crazy Mary. Down the long dirt road Past the Parson's place. That old blue car We used to race. Little country store with a sign tacked to the side. Said 'NO L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G ALLOWED.' Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd. Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it around. Take a bottle drink it down. Drink it... Pass it around. Pass it a... A-take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it a... Pass it around. One night thunder cracked. Mercy backed outside my windowsill. Dreamed I was flying High above the trees, over the hills. Looked down into the house of Mary. Terrible thoughts, newspaper covered walls. And Mary rising up above it all. Oh... Oh... Oh... Next morning on the way into town Saw some skid marks and followed them around. Over the curve, Through the fields, Into the house of Mary. That what you fear the most could meet you halfway. (x2) Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it around. Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it around. Pass it a... Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it a... Pass it around. Oh, pass it a... Pass it arround. Pass it a... Pass it a... Pass it a... Oh yeah. |

Down. Fall by the wayside no getting out.
Down. Cry me a river dried up and dammed. The names can be changed but the place is still the same. I am loaded. Told that all's for naught. Holds me down. Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line. Rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train. One day the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away. And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done. Won't let the light escape from me. Won't let the darkness swallow me. So long. |
