This Winter's Night
don't shy the fire danced with us for nights
the storm moves in our favor
we the few posess as much if not more of what we started with
what began it all...
get up-this winters night
we'll all stay close, ride the lightning
give up-love's a war
you'll all fall short
let up-war's your love
you'll all fall down
don't take what i'm about to say the wrong way
i've weighed my options
don't take what i say too literally
im in pursuit of my own progressions
don't take what i said out of context (try, focus)
try and keep your resolutions in focus
don't take the words i say and try and turn them around for your own advantages
get up-this winters night
we'll all stay close, ride the lightning
give up-love's a war
we'll all fall short
let up-war's your love
you'll all fall down...take flight!
let's get up-love's your war
you'll all fall short...get up
let's get up-blood's our law
you'll all bow down
give up-war's our love
you'll all fall short
get up-this winters night
we'll all stay close, ride the lightning
get up-this winters long
we'll all stay warm, ride the lightning
get up

Stand and hold your ground for me
Do you ever feel like the outcome's predecided anyway,
and who made this my responsibility?
It's just my friends say she's just alright, she's really nothing...
she's alright
Still what she sends me, sends me to light
Better be feelin' somethin'
...tonight
I've got to feel bad
for takin' for granted in every way but
If I have to sing myself to sleep, I will...
I move like
the whole world is ice
It's just my friends alright, like life
she's alright
still what she sends to light,
better be feelin' somethin'
...tonight

Diving Bird
05:14
|
|||
|
Glidin'
way out,
ten miles
and I look down (I see you), I'm waitin' for time they say...I'm
bidin' my time how I see fit
fall, fall...love is a diving bird
and nothing sounded, nothing came of it
matter of fact I just called downtown
an' it's on their desk as we speak

Chess Pieces
03:53
|
|||
|
A serious crash can be enough to kill a person.
the slow action of a machine in motion
smashing and then reversing.
watching as the pieces fall back into their places.
the men who are handsome
are the men who are in possession
of faces, like the faces
you'd find chiselled on fine chess pieces.
like the places you get
high and ride to on the weekends,
or the waves
on the beaches.
a series of paths become the map for the analytic.
won't capture essence of (or) naturals passion,
building and then releasing.
crashing is what happens when you deal with second nature.
the chances you've been granted-
you're the one I chose to dance with.
in placement, time changes
shed my skin so when I'm in, I'm naked.
what's adjacent when you
die will guide you 'cause you're tasteless.
playin' safe,
from a distance.

Quality Time

You are...the one
I think you're gettin' a lil' carried away right now...
Cool off a minute, let me explain somethin'
I can't rush
If I rush, I panic
That never worked for me
From what I know, it's how slow you pace it
Let's take it how it's supposed to be
Baby, this is what's called
quality time
Your skin is
so close to mine
Put my trust in your front pocket
and we don't even need
to keep it a secret
I can't trust what I can't touch
so lay your body alongside me
Now turn the other way
an' no I can't rush, if I rush I
I know I'm gon' panic
an' self control, is hard enough to learn
Now I know, you're on some fire
It's hot enough to burn

four hundred and forty four
traditional
and i
must find my way to her
but the guy she loves
doesnt stand a chance
anymore
many times
i feel the way you move me
comin closer now
the animal within me
im controlin
even in the dark -Ive fallen
but the guy she loves
doesnt stand a chance at all
when she looks inside
she sees into his soul
four hundred and fourty four
encryptical
my sword
undead
predictable
at war
i find myself in place
and the guy she loved
never had a chance anyhow
I vowed
never lose, never again
when she looks inside
she sees into his soul
and she knows-that its black in here...
the guy she loved
doesn't stand a chance anyhow
I vowed

Windmills
04:18
|
|||
|
I've been up and down these streets
red light and green
got myself a collection
handful of smiles
on my way, somewhere else today
outside of the city
I'm on a train -and headed for
Windmills, windmills
look beyond the windmills
la la look out the window
and I might just find the love I lost
Windmills, windmills
looking past the windmills
if youre anywhere in this godforsaken country
i will find you
I finally fell asleep
after ten a.m.
it must have been Brussels by then
I woke to find my paper-back
and the sun high in the northern skies
rising to wipe the glass all I see are ways that we
travel at the speed of a train
way it cuts the counrty in half
way it covers distance as fast
as the wind- carries on
We cover distance- the wind and I
The train, the fields, the flowers and miles upon miles

Ghost Launder

|
It matters
and matter of fact
I fold clothes
and I mold in silent halls
in silent halls
They say it shouldn’t bother me
They say it shouldn’t bother me
I know
that it shouldn’t bother me
It does
Fools
and experience shows I fold
I’m aware they would shoot ‘em out with me
for the past and the present, the true
overlooked for long
They say it shouldn’t bother me
They say it shouldn’t bother me
I know
that it shouldn’t bother me
It does
They say it shouldn’t bother me
I fold
and I mold in silent halls
in silent halls
