IT MADE SENSE

I heard that if you want to make it
You've got to rock your heart out
And lay it on the table for
Someone to take a part out
Give more than you've been given
And if that don't amount to nuthin
You must feel broken hearted, well
At least you're feeling something
I'M NOT IN LOVE
It's just like me to pretend I was
Maybe I'm sick, or just missing the point of it
OH, I STILL DO DRUGS BUT NOT THAT MUCH
Just enough to help remember
How sweet you looked to me
The leaves were dying all around you last September
Don't be afraid, come back to me
I know that love can be a most powerful thing
Or so it seems to me
We used to talk a lot of the things we did
Back when we were kids
Fresh out of the blocks
Still discovering rock
I saw your signs, I'm sure I seen
Your flashing lights flash COME TO ME
So I came, but you went
With a handsomer gent
It made sense, I guess

LIGHT, PAIN, EVERYTHING
02:41
|

|
I'm carrying this weight 'cause it's all broken
Cloaked and vain
I'm hardening my faith and when the light comes
Shine on me
I'm ready to be free
I'll return to the everything
Bare with me this load when I feel heavy
Send me strength
Sing to me your song, I hope it's long
Babe, don't wait please
Bring heaven to it's knees
Go shine your light on everything
Shush, don't cuss your mistakes
You're keeping them awake
Hold that hurt to your chest
You need it to exist
We're light, we're pain, we're everything

WHEN MY HEART BREAKS
03:57
|
|||
|
When my heart breaks
I pick it up, I dust it off
Give my head a shake
Love is everywhere
No, I take all my mistakes
And trade 'em in for better breaks
All my bad days
I round'm up, bag 'em off
Drown 'em in a lake
Send 'em my regards
I won't test myself today
The past, I let it pass away
Your heart chimes 2 billion times
Before your last breath
It's one birth and one death
Your whole life
Flashes like a mirror catches sunlight
What will you have done?
Close your eyes
Thirty thousand times
And your last sleep takes your life
Don't waste your time
Tell 'em what's on your mind
With my last breath KISS ME MY DARLIN'
Don't fear death KISS ME MY DARLIN'
I confess, no one ever loved me like this
Let my last sight BE OF YOU DARLIN'
My last night SEE YOU MY DARLIN'
My last note be of you tearing my throat
When my heart breaks
I pick it up, I dust it off
Give my head a shake
Love is everywhere
And I've taken my mistakes
And trade 'em in for better breaks

SMASH WALLS

Brother, I know your pain
His, hers, it's all the same
Every new bell you hear toll
Rings for the both of you
AIn't it true?
When they smash walls
Rolling right over you
Crash, fall, climb on my shoulder
We're huge, tall, nigh indestructible
Bad days can't get ahold of me now
Sister I know you feel destroyed
Cursed to keep who killed your joy
Should you be washed out to sea
I'd lose you and you would me
Don't let it be
When they smash walls
Rolling right over you
Crash, fall, climb on my shoulder
We're huge, tall, nigh indestructible
Bad days can't get ahold of me
Dead wrong writing us out of it
Stay strong, don't lay for anyone
Grip tight, mayors of the night
We got dark days
Lean on us anyways

ALL ON THE GROUND
03:20

Lately I don’t see your face
It’s covered up and out of place
But your loving eyes still look the same
they’ve seen enough
Sister I know you’ve been hurt
Under loved and out of work
Overdrawn and under dirt
You’ve hurt enough…
It’s time to let the sun through!
Anytime you fall, no need to call when we’re
ALL ON THE GROUND
I’ll pick you up, kick off the dust
Til we’re perfectly sound
And if you lose, I’ll feel it too ’cause we’re
HARD IN THIS TOWN
We just get up, start making love
Til we’re perfectly sound
Brother, I can see your pain
It’s hard to start it up again
But your loving hands still work the same
And they’re holding up
Every night I feel amazed
Even in my darkest days
Your loving eyes still look the same
They’re bright enough…
To let the sun shine in through!
Anytime you fall, no need to call when we’re
ALL ON THE GROUND
I’ll pick you up, kick off the dust
Til we’re perfectly sound
And if you lose, I’ll feel it too ’cause we’re
HARD IN THIS TOWN
We just get up, start making love
Til we’re perfectly sound…

LAY ME DOWN
01:36
|
|||
|
We've got better things than
All kings in history
But it feels like nuthin' all the same
Well, we all leave our bodies
Into mystery
I've got you, all our nuthin'
Is everything
When two lives entangle
It seems improbable
To predict where our love exists today
There's more space in our bodies
Than between us, babe
Lay me down, lay me down
We're all the same
Lay me down, call my name
I am the sound of everything
I am the silence you don't hear
Until the man inside
Your ear decides
That I am I
And you are you
And gave us separate names
We are the dice
We are the game
It's all the same

KEVIN'S SONG
02:31
|
|||
|
The prairies were calling
We struck out from the coast
I miss my island, my brother
Miss my mother the most
I drank with lovers, with sinners
Treated everyone kind
But not once was the winner
Caller number 9
I know my life sure got dirty
And I worried you to death
But I knew I was loved
And that's everything
When nothing is left...
In the morning, if it's storming and grey
I'll roll in with the clouds
I'll run with the rain
Turn your face to the heavens
I will touch you again
Listen close to the wind
I'll try to whisper your name
I know you still love me
So I'll show you a sign
You're gonna hear me in the thunder
Watch for me in the lightning that night
No one ever dies
We just become what we like
Mama, everything is nice
It's the next part of life
No one ever dies
We go back into the stars
We are more than what we are
It's the next part of life

DRINK TO US
04:08
|

|
Oh, the crowd left all at once
But the band it played forever
Just the staff, the crew, my darling you
The ending of the world
Oh, we drank and laughed and fucked
Good luck! The afterlife she's coming
Time is running off, nobody stops
The clock once she's began
Before we turn to dust
I drink to you, you drink us
May the lord hold you tonight
And never close his fist too tight
Before we're all destroyed
Three cheers to you, three cheers for JOY
Plug in me boys, lend me your voices
For the last song ever heard
Oh, the south wall was the first to fall
Not one man stopped playin'
And the mandolin came dancing in
Like we would never die
Oh, the bombing grows the toms explode
The mystery is upon us
When the klaxons rang, the boys all sang
To thumb our nose to god
Before we turn to dust
I drink to you, you drink us
May the lord hold you tonight
And never close his fist too tight
Before we're all destroyed
Three cheers to you, three cheers for JOY
Plug in me boys, lend me your voices
For the last song ever heard
And we sang these final words...

WEAR YOU DOWN
01:03
|
|||
|
When my cup ain't filled with much
You've got to build me up
I'm breaking up
Don't play
Every word you say
Reverberates through time
Through space and time
Evil and kindness
Reverberates through time

EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED
03:30
|
|||
|
I'm trained to care
Not to comply
I focus my stare
Not avert my eye
Maybe I don't feel too good
Not missed
Just misunderstood
I pissed
Off half my hood
I guess
No one else could see
Everything is connected
And every heart is disrespected
Then hard healed, resurrected one day
Don't tell no lies
Don't do what you don't like
Everything dies, baby
Don't you make death your life
Any time I see you use your gift
OOOOH
I'm gonna lose my shit, don't quit
Find what's good
Get lit
It's all wood
Everything is connected
If Tim gets hurt then Jim's affected
If Jim's gets first
We all reflect the same thing
Something exists
Nobody can see
The birth of a star
A verse of the sea
The beat of your heart
It's all music to me
The symphony of
The infinite dust
Created by us
Everything is connected
And every heart is disrespected
Then hard healed, resurrected one day
Everything is connected
If Tim gets hurt then Jim's affected
If Jim's gets first
We all reflect the same thing

WE ALL DIE
04:12
|
|||
|
Ma's in the kitchen recoverin'
Turns out that she really loved him
Putting all the dishes away
Wondering how all of her better days
Were stolen like, overnight
Parting ways
Tom's at his desk every morning
Losing his battle with boredom
Finding the inner resolve
To talk to the girl down the hall
"Does she think of me ever,
Or not at all?"
We all die with nothing
Your mama, your lover, your cousin
But I've never been broken yet
And you'll never quit
And we all have love
Don't forget to give it
