Intro / Red Lights

Everything happens for a reason now the writings on the wall
Like the turning of the seasons from summer to Augustana
When they played in your home-town
And your friends didn't want to go to that moonlight show
When the metronome drones on in a room not truly solid
Like those coins in your pocket
That you found on the asphalt now they're clinking back and forth
Good thing tone doesn't change what it's worth
And the haze soon surrounds you but you don't mind
With the spectrum's of light quickly shining through
The introspective night happily shadowed on the permanent bright side
Lets start walking out to the riverside
We can get there by midnight
Just keep with my stride
There's so much beauty to miss and I'm going blind
Take my hand and guide me down
The path that parallels the calming sound
And we can multiply that feeling
And spread it to the campus on our campaign plan
Red lights flip on you can help me tomorrow
I can't help but notice you claws dipped in sorrow
I'll Ignore them for you
Down the isle to the straight and narrow
Up the cliff to see through your window
I swear that it's true
I'm unrealistic too
The Looking glass shatters my tattered facade
Disorienting smells catch me in forgotten thought
The taste of pale lips and your tight burning grip
Block out the sound of withered love
I'm already in this

Speed of Sound

I see you traveling at the speed of sound
But you aren't satisfied with the love you found
I'd rather worry about the time it takes
And I'm content with less wins and less mistakes
You wake up lonely next your new friend
Hes not the only warrior this weekend
You tell painful truths through teary eyes
But after that the sunsets were never as bright
I don't believe this
But I think I should
Ignorance is bliss and
It's feeling good
Ooh I'm feeling fine
I loved you more when you were mine
Take a swig or a little sip
Whats the difference when you're kissing his lips
After a while it starts to burn
How you got here is none of my concern
You're crossing streets and avenues
To see the sunlight on this afternoon
I see your smile that's so sublime
It's clear that you're having the time of your life
I don't believe this
But I think I should
It's sad to reminisce but
I'm feeling good
Ooh I'm feeling fine
Please enjoy your skyline
We are on our separate sides
Of driftwood flowing through these strange tides
With the last glint of sun on the horizon
It's worth it to say goodbye
I don't believe this
But I think I should
Our lives have differences but
I'm feeling good
Ooh I'm feeling fine
I think you're ready now to shine

Pickaxe & a Spade (P.S.)

I have no reflection to slow me down
I'll keep my reaction six feet below ground
It's tombstone reads "fallen, hide away from her ears"
But my eyes in the mirror go black through the years
I'm seeking asylum find a home in my head
The task is forgetting when my heart was misled
My colors are contrast olive to maroon
Can't make myself ask her to dance to this tune
A few more lines that are too sappy
Something pretty catchy
That'll make me happy
Got to finished up the chorus
Forget that I was scoreless
Cardboard boxes like Pandora
Why do I always do this
Believe in the illusion
My mind can be so ruthless
Hear you in a mumble
Makes the marble crumble
You can stop chipping away
I've run out of words to say
My candle is burning at the end of its wick
The smell still reminds of a nervous tick
The frame will stand empty till I shatter the glass
I'll stare at the roadway watching other cars crash
Consistent clicking energizes my mind
Waking to nothing memories in kind
Paint over portraits forget all we've made
Trying to help me make the wind behave
Under pressure
I saw love at first sight I swore to god that she was flawless
Can’t forget her
I'm starting to understand why they called me callous
Rhythm over style
Always late with these drawn conclusions
For the time I'll
Illustrate with my wildest fiction

Wake Up Baby

Wake up baby it's okay don't cover up your beauty
Slathered in clay I think it's crazy but it helps you maybe
To see yourself the way we see you and help to you feel like a little more
It's all the pressure
It lasts forever
They're your feet dance floor
All this negativity is blinding
Like the love they so award
All these monolithic cowards
Are sick and crawling on the floor
They've been searching there for hours
Stumbling over sticks and stones
On their passage through the catacombs
Listen baby look around and see the moonlight
I know it's waning but that doesn't have to be for tonight
It's all the same as if we were on Mulholland drive
The only landmark we have in sight is the Hollywood sign
We aren't on silver screens but we will be
When the clouds touch the ground
It's so pristine its all perfect we can hear the sound
Of the world without needing to speak out loud

Tails Never Fails

If I had a shiny penny
For every time I told you I could fill a jar or three
They'd clink like the cranking of tiny cogs
That move the minute hand of the watch you bought me
String noise buzzes in my ear
Telling me how to tell you
We're in the last scene
The ticking will end
I'm ready to close the lid
My penny's lost it's sheen
