The Forces

secure me fast upon the mast
the wild waves, get past them
the jagged teeth, can we outlast
the forces, the forces!
my friends, we drift on brutal tides
the lows, the lows, we ride them
these ebbs and flows we fall inside
the forces, the forces!
our hungry hearts, will drag us to
the yawning dark, the voices
this knowing thing will pull us to
the forces, the forces!
fill up your ears with quiet thoughts
you musn’t feel
the forces
you must not fear what we have
rought
the forces! the forces!
this metafact our image tracks
what fate attracts
the forces
what homer saw in siren maws
were forces! the forces!
the forces, low in every heart
the basest floor, the forces!
make haste and see we starve this sea
of forces! the forces!

don't think too much about it
don't cry so hard
some (one) day, when we get (are) older
we'll look back and laugh
see our summer faces in the rear view mirror
did we really look that young?
and perfect as you are, you'll change too
I'll be changing, too
'cause that's what people do

Saboteur
02:34
|

|
yeah, I'll stick to the plan like we promised
but I want you to look in my eyes
when it fails we'll lament
how we tried
cruising down the mountain
winding in our sleep
snipers on the hillside
counting little sheep
you can trust me
I'll keep all your secrets
but I NEED you to be on my side
when it breaks, and it shakes
and it slides

Great Blue Coast
03:56
|

I'm gonna buy a boat
drive to the coast
follow the sun
into that long blue road
you'll never know
cause I'll never show
I'll keep it all close
real close, until it eats me up forever
the water keeps rising
I'll never be fine
and it's all down hill from here
I just need some time
to free up my mind
drift like the sun
drawing a weak thin line
you'll never see
this feeling in me
I'll keep it all close
real close, until it eats me up forever
the water keeps
I'm feeling quite tired
but it's all down hill from here
(La la la) down hill
and one day my boat
will forget how to float
and I'll drift like the sun
into that great big coast
don't blame yourself
nor anyone else
you couldn't have known
who knows? how it took me down forever
the water keeps rising
i'm gonna be fine
it's all down, I fear
right to the end I hear
it is all down hill from here.

yeah, i guess i could
just wake up feeling super good
but i don’t
and i won’t
you know how well i lie
if you don’t, soon you will
and i guess sometimes
I wish that I could sit and cry
so I rock
and I roll
I get all of this stuff
looking in control
living is a tough gig to swing
I guess it has its perks sometimes
maybe you could show me the ropes
and elevate me
I’m afraid to say
I think about it every day
push it down
get it down
and never, ever, ever, ever let it out
living is a tough gig to swing
I guess we’ll make it as we go
it's okay, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired
I just need some sleep I'm okay I just need some sleep
in the morning I wanna cry, cry cry

A Year in The Fog
03:34
|
|||
|
swallowed up in my pillow
trying to remember how to sleep
barefoot in damp green fields
losing myself, counting sheep
this year's been a lousy daydream
must be the fog I'm under
I need to be someone else
someone who feels awe and wonder
I guess
you've no idea what this has done to me
days bend from one to other
hanging out longer than they should
I'm feeling a little tired
in ways that I never thought I could
this year's been a lousy rundown derelict mall
I'm going under
I need to be someone different
someone who feels awe and wonder
I guess
you've no idea what this has done to me

Stuff To Talk About
03:35
|
|||
|
can't think straight
can't get inspired
feels like I'm frozen
and the world's on fire
heaven is empty,
the angels are you
these days I'm learning
to forget that too
I think I should
disappear
disengage, for just a little now
lay low
stay home
just fade into the background
I'm dying, no doubt
but I'm not about to leave without
leaving earth with stuff to talk about
