Greener Then

greener then, when love did chase us far and wide
deep inside, blue foliage we used to hide
and were denied
being greener then
hope, though real, wasn't what we were supposed to feel
and can you steal, pink fingers clutching tight the wheel
to conceal
being greener then
greener then, when love did chase us far and wide
deep inside, blue foliage we used to hide
and were denied
being greener then

Dark

dark was the night
that i first laid eyes on she
the diamond was cracked
in the blackness of the heat.
retreating to the stairs
for the full moon reckoning
the people without cares
stay behind us as we
disappear
to the dark
disappear
to the dark.
now the party was grand
but no one really knew
when the attack
would be launched and by who.
the lanterns grew dim
and the distant lights grew near.
we walked hand in hand
from the party to
disappear
to the dark
disappear
to the dark.
woke up alone
to explosions on the bay.
the loneliest glow
was the dawn of newborn day.
the explosions were nothing
but a dogs distant bark
and so I lay awake
alone and in the dark.

It's Yours
03:29

how can time heal, the wounds I gave you were real as they were wrong
so i try my best to deal, with our broken love in song
and i know that it ain’t much, for me to sing these hollow words
and that you might prefer a touch, or some material gesture.
well I know that it aint much,
to you,
but it’s yours.
what is the cure, for being insecure about so much
that it causes you to hurt, the one you want to touch
and I know that it aint much, for me to lay it one the line
when you been giving yourself up to me all the time
well i know that it much,
to you,
but its
yours to command, in the palm of your hand
yours to enjoy or destroy
it cant be pawned off or sold
like silver or gold
tarnished rings, long lost things
you never forget until they’re gone.
because its yours
because its yours
its yours.

Beacon
04:33

she's my beacon
when Im lost out in the storm
there’s no speaking
distant lights they guide me home
though I haven’t been a good man in awhile
i get by on just a wink and a smile
with my beacon
i was drifting
too far from the shore
endless sifting
through that mental corridor
when the bright lights of the city take their toll
and the fever brings the dark night of the soul
she’s my beacon
when there’s no one beside you
to slip in cracks is just given
as the way it goes
but if your beacon guides you
through those dark times you can be sure
to pull through
look out for her
looking out for you
thats your beacon
the compass that reigns you in
when you’re out there
twisting in the wind
endless voices
echo in a storm
bathed in neon
beg you to conform
til you’re drowning
in a tide of din
disconnected
from whatever was within
just a soldier
marching to the beat
without reason
to look up from your two feet
when you cannot hear the voice that you speak from
follow the lights of your beacon home
find your beacon.

Big Cliche
02:42
|
|||
|
too timid to even cross, that old crooked sidewalk
the traffic light don’t do what it says
and even old childhood friends
who cross the line of the dead
they tell me not to think that everything is a big
cliche, cliche, cliche, cliche.
spying on the nouveau rich, whose mansion lies in a ditch
i wonder who we’re really fighting for
and are some peoples lives just means
to prop up another’s dreams
wishing I could laugh off all of the weight of this thing
called war.
when we were young we were naive
to think back then we did believe
war would never knock upon our door.
and now here we sit and mourn
future babies still unborn
born into a world where singing against war is a big cliche.
