CONFESSIONAL
Step inside
Take a load off of your mind
Let's pray to be sane
Wooden chair and captured air
Pose witness as she
Spills her guts to Monsignor
In a time of shame
When peace of mind is a rare find
Observance is grand
She picks a man that trend
Has set forth to conquer with
The air is damp with forgiveness
I've taken words to heart
Don't leave me this way again
I fall then I see you smiling
Hail Mary, our Father's dead
She sees a sky of perfect blue
A winter will runs through my veins
Her stone white skin will draw me near
As it begins to rain…
Eyes glazed like almonds in my hand
Stay with me
I'll show you things that haven't been
Just stay with me
“Whoever you are, God,
Give her back to me.”
SOFT
I live to fly on a natural high
My love is growing softly to the sky
The lovers hors'audourves for the
Evening to come
The camera still runs and we see you
I was soft for the first time
Now content to breath so deeply
Got my hands in my pockets
Burn, burn, burn
I've seen the light
Hell, I've seen them all
But one can keep those daydreams
Keepin' on
Show me a world in a
Different space, in a different house
In a different way
Nothings sacred anymore but
Don't touch my friends
God makes amends in a book
He's only pleasant when he's sleeping
VINTAGE EYES
Tired clothes and vintage eyes
Search for the stars
The world you know lies inside
Velvet dreams and a candy prize
As a child I saw the world
In a million colors
Kaleidoscope
In ever dream mother moon way full
Enraptured eyes watch the changing
World
Against a wall of a million words
I fight to shout right back
Trying to be heard
Take my ashes but leave my soul
Take me higher
Where truth is gold
My childhood, diluted
My innocence polluted
I should know better
I heard the warnings
I should know better
When the walls are forming…
Here I am the boy inside the man
Lend your hand help me
Understand
As a child I saw the world
In a million colors
Kaleidoscope
ELECTRIC HEAD
Electric head
Dizzy and red
I think I'm on but then I'm stupid again
I wish I could keep that style
Such a perfect style
Then maybe chicks will dig me again
Yeah, I'd like to keep that style
A perfect head to let me get
Back wild
Surface to blue
The dead is in you
My minutes are 2 so let me
Get some
I wish I could keep your face
Such a perfect face
Then maybe God will dig me again
If it's all the same to you I give up
I've never seen you in my life
Does it hurt to see my pictures
You can thank that no good wife of your
Divorce? Of course!
TRAVISTY
I've seen a young man's breaking heart
I've seen the evil on my shoulders
I've held self righteous through
I never could see straight
And all this from a land
Of custom license plates
Keep me from noise
And their good will
The funk that I'm in
Lasts me until
The smoke that dances
In my lungs and I'm OK
I've had enough
This child lies bleeding
I'll not forget
How you left me there
Everything I owned
I lost in the war
It sure looked easy
To give up on a boy his age
So what were you thinking?
That a rent-a-kid life was home to me
Still I am living
With that choice of your you made
I'd give a thousand lives
To see you suffer the same
Now that I'm grown up
Now that I'm a man
I announce the death of family
In my future plans
Wish they never lived
Wish I never was
A Travisty
THE SONG
And when she hurts herself
How she'll be hurting me
My Constantine
Tonight the sky's on fire
And spills its grief for you
Cries out for you
I always shamed the bleeding heart
I used to incantate my hate for you
Unacceptable demise
To throw your love around
Like it's everyone's light
I used to wash the thoughts of you
Out of my days
Always fighting for a breath of air
And humbled when my Constantine is near
But oh how so beautiful she looked
And missing out on life
Never hurts to be awake
When you're dying in my arms
My love she's slipping
Years have gone to waste
Years to take her place
I hope you hear my voice
I'm nothing without thee
Reduced to emptiness
Now that I'm lying in state
And missing out on life
Mi Amour
Soft to me
You are everywhere in me
For my love
My Constantine
You embrace me in that special dream
We would talk
You would say
How I charmed you each and everyday
But just look at you now
Where is your grace?
Death has stolen you without a trace
Now I've gone looking for you
TONIGHT
Enter the scene
The curtain is drawn
Everything is beautiful
From here on
I have never tasted
Success quite like this
Moment of truth
My soul is for you
I got much more than I'm supposed to
I am the goodnight king
I am here to take you there
Tonight
All my dreams for you tonight
Tonight
All that breaths
Under the silver moon that flies
I get a kiss
Before the evening dies
Everything is out of sight
And all they say, they say
Yeah, yeah, yeah…
Under the silver moon that flies
I get a kiss
Before the evening dies
Everything is out of sight
And all they say, they say
Yeah, yeah, yeah
FREE
Mothers and belief will make you rich
So say the doctors and priests
Mother abused me when I was weak
God stood behind her in line
I got a line on a different point of view
(As you can well imagine)
I caught a break in you
Dad like a whipped bitch
Was spineless to the core
Death has preceded the both of them
I wish they'd die 10 times more
My trust has witnessed its final blow
(Love has no eyes for me)
After all that they've killed
Soul catchers hanging drying
Press silhouettes to the sky
I'll be there in time
But no thanks to motherhood
Take your sights off of me my dear
Severance from the family tree
I'm free
"THE WAR"
I was enlisted at the age of twelve
Back then, it seemed
I was cheated
There was a thousand miles between us
And I can't see a damn thing
Takin' a ride
I'm off to the (war)
They all knew I wasn't
Coming home
My ticket's burned
I don't know why
Unlucky am I
The end was coming
My patience running out
There was no hope to speak oj
Inside
I was down to pennies
If there was anyway
To sell my soul
I surely have tried
But now I'm back with
A fist full of words
Layin' down some blues
That you ain't never heard
Life is just groovy
And it tastes like it should
I got me a hawg
And a place in the woods
Lungs full of herb
And it's all good!
Takin' a ride
I'm back from the war
Think it's time they all
Knew I was home
My ticket's good
I'll tell you why
How lucky am I!
If home is where it's at
Do I get another chance?
This time around
I said if home is where it's at
Do I get another chance?
I'll bring you a
Taste of war
How lucky am I!
My ticket's good
I'll tell you why
How lucky am I?
Or so I pretend
UNKNOWN RIDER
The unknown rider
Comes to me
Selling cool and heartbreak
Teardrop tank
And triple trees
She's the heir to me
I'm the king
I'm the one
S&S the way she speaks
Deathly loud and bleeding
Dirty black she owns the streets
A 1 percenter's dream
I'm the king
On a run
I'm the chosen one
I'm the lone rider's son
Get some
A highway bleak and empty
Cuts the deserts hide
And leaves the ghosts to ride
An iron horseback savvy
Breaks the plains abounding
And disappears in style
I'll carry on the myth
Of the unknown rider
When he's gone
I'm the king
On a run
I'm the chosen one
I'm the lone rider's son
Get some
AFILOTIMI
It was the strangest look
I'd ever seen
All the stars had mischief in their eyes
And they're laughing at me
But I know where I'm going
And for how long
I'll wait forever
To get you there
I'll wait for good
The second part is still unclear
Blackened draperies and English beer
Something about a Queen saved by God
And I'm lost by her grace and peculiar
Smell
The Kings were gone
Disappearing heads
The Kings were gone but I'll miss you the most
Until we meet again
The Kings were gone
But I'll miss you the most
I swear
Yes, I'll miss you the most
