Hello Dreamland
01:48
|

Crossing over to the inside
don't know what lies up ahead
all my courage to close my eyes
such strange figures 'round my bed
all my money, all my things
leave it all and not have sorrow
goodbye real life, hello Dreamland
don't know if I'll be back tomorrow
crossing over to the inside
don't know what lies up ahead
goodbye real life, hello Dreamland
don't know if I'll be back again

I can hear them laughing in the distance
they're getting closer every instance
it's not coincidence we find
all the bones they leave behind
The veil is wearing thin
i think they're closing in
feels like the end
All we can do is run away
they're catching up
they're closing in
they're catching up
don't stop
I can see the light
reflecting on their eyes
No time to wait, for heavens sake
i see the gate, its not too late
its almost dawn, the heavy weight
is hanging on the words you say
if Earthly bound has sealed our fate
then through the sound we will escape
All we can do is run away
they're catching up
they're closing in
all we can do is run away
So fast
I've run
so far
it isn't fair to stay
or for you to see me in this way
i hate that it has come to this
such is this life, a circle of despair
I promise you, I promise you
you'll get away, someday you'll be safe,
but as for me I cannot say
i cannot say
is this it?
is this it
is this it for me
is this the end?
I will hold them off
so you can escape, my friend

When I Leave
02:22

Don't fret it
don't let it get you down to where you can't get up
you've gotta see the reasons why
I'm pretty sure you've got to drive yourself in circles
just to get to where you want to be
I've done it
I've done it a lot, so many times I swear I know you won't believe
(can't believe)
Like I'm waving in slow motion
you'll think you're staring straight at the ocean when I leave
(is it real? is it really happening?)
I've been talking a lot to god and I've been having awful dreams
haven't found a cure and I cant tell you what it means
but you need a break down to break free...
but theres more to it than that you see.
And I know I belong somewhere
can't be invisible forever
Don't fret it
just let it take you higher than you're comfortable with being
When I leave
(when I leave)
When I leave you're gonna miss me
I'll be driving around in circles
like a whirlpool in the sea

Living And Dying
03:33
|

It can happen in the blink of an eye
everything you know can pass you by
in your mind you wonder
while you struggle just to turn the lights on
Nobody can tell you why
make it up as you go, just keep on trying
do it for yourself, cause everyone here is just
living and dying
it was all in a dream
or is that what they just want me to believe?
the flashbacks that are happening are different now
than what we once perceived
it was all in a dream
or is that what you just want me to believe?
everything i remember seems like yesterday
and it feels so real to me
I want to feel
and watch the sunlight burn me in slow motion
pierce my skin and relieve me of my constant sorrow
is it hopeless?
is it hopeless?
is it hopeless if theres no tomorrow?
it was all in a dream
it can happen in the blink of an eye
everything you love can pass you by
in your heart you always cry
as you struggle just to keep on walking
anyone can tell you why
but I wouldn't listen cause they might be lying
figure it out for yourself cause everyone here is just
living and dying

The way the words fit onto paper
a rush of sense to come full circle
make me feel what i've been waiting
wanting peak of which i'm yearning
bask in tithe amongst false prophets
planted like the seed of altar
find my truths like full moon facing
coming to its rightful falter
a thread around the stones you cast
meaning sewn into the stars
you'll run away, it'll come right back
and follow you for sometime after
bruise your lip while coaxed to laughter
dreaming schemes to bring or hatch your
cinnamon toothed egg of rapture
a nightingale in your cattle pasture
you can swivel with the waves
and find solace in the visual snow
but tell me is it accurate to say
that you'll find peace in a future you don't know?
sleep deprived to find some answer
nipping at your calloused heels
bleeding on the bed frame
feelings interrupt your TV meals
its not a matter of opinion
people die 'bout every minute
reasoning subject to change
how politics would like to spin it
ready or not the games not over
and it may involve a bit of math
add all sides to find wrong answers
dividing us for sometimes after
disappearing ink like casper
keeping track of this disaster
seemed to slip your mind no faster
than a nightingale in your cattle pasture
yeah you can stoke the flames
or you can swallow every ember
but is it accurate to say
that there is evidence for anything in what you can't remember?
in a tizzy, i've been makin moves
as pointless as it seems to prove
it isn't fair to me or you
sometimes there is no chance to choose
but we like to think its justified
to be stuck inside our paths of life
when in fact our right to change our minds,
if unsatisfied,
theres another side
we're just passing by
the best ideas we tend to have
are burning like an acid bath
awaiting to renew our paths
and cleanse our souls forever after
what we tend to fail to capture
in the end we always master
but until then we're stuck in castor
like a nightingale in a cattle pasture
you can dress yourself up pretty
but still scare to death a sleeping cow
but i think that its most accurate to say
that times not moving anywhere, its just happening here now

Black Mamba
02:57
|
|||
Deep into the forest
we were uttering our mantras
in the middle of the night
so as to avoid the hellish sauna
'round the turkey mountain majesty
in the flora and the fauna
unwelcomely greeted by the
territorial BLACK MAMBA
lunged at by the snake
i repel back into your face
and in your partial drunkenness
fell down to your twisted fate
tumble down the hill
breaking rocks along the way
as you scream into the darkness
as you're fracturing 6 vertebrae
i reached out to you
you grabbed my hand
i pulled you out
this twighlight path was never found again
BLACK MAMBA

Ride It Out, Partner
04:22

Sometimes life just might seem too real to feel
sometimes things might get weird, its ok, you'll be fine
just don't forget to breathe in deep, don't weep
take control of your mind, decide to survive
life can feel so fast
life can feel so slow
so if you feel like dyin
quit your cryin
Just ride it out, partner
just ride it out slow
just ride it out partner
just ride it out
say goodbye horses
just ride it out
if you want the truth
you better saddle up
its gonna be a bumpy ride
we all know you do
it won't be covered up
as long as you keep riding towards the light
yeah
just ride it out partner
just ride it out slow
say goodbye horses
just ride it out

Deteriorating in a fly-over state
where the buffalo roam
and the octopus hide in the lakes
dreadful feelings of isolation
a continuation of intention to escape
I don't wanna be here anymore
i'm so tired of beating this dead horse
In Oklahoma
Oklahoma
Oklahoma
Officials say its a terrible year,
but to whom do we owe the displeasure of being here?
in Oklahoma
Oklahoma
Oklahoma

Tornado
02:48
|

Ooh, ya know I love ya, honey
but when I pass you by
I'll be kickin up more dust than a jackelope in July
and I never meant to hurt you darlin'
never mean to make you cry
I'm gonna pick ya up and spin ya darlin'...
right up into the sky
Ooh ya never saw me comin'
and I can't say I blame ya
I'll flip your whole world upside down
like an Oklahoma tornado
and you know I try to warn ya, darlin'
but ya never trust the data
you get blown away for nothin'
and just blame it on al quaeda

Sometime I'd like to forget
I've spent all these years so high
I'd thought it'd erase all the shit
but that was a bold faced lie
the truth is a hard one to hit
I handle it fine half the time
the reasons escape for a bit
until it all comes back to mind
Nothin' is for certain
other than the things that are
its hard, so hard to determine
between an old wound and a fresh scar
I've been a tangled mess of chemical emotion-less
carryin the weight of the things I can't process
its sick, cruel, carelessness on my part
a defense against the innocence of my heart
sometimes I'd like to forget
i spend all this time so low
don't think that I've changed a bit
I only got this to show
Nothin last forever
'cept for the things that do
and its such a fine line between all the shit I pull
and all the shit I'm put through

Swine Song
03:11

I tried to pet the pig,
she bit my hand and made me bleed
chased me through the kitchen
on her hooves and crooked teeth
can't define the way I feel when you look straight through me
just to see the world behind is burning off our feet
you seem so happy
go on and find your favorite way
to twist the objects in a way
that serve you on your fancy china plate
and you filter out the sun to cast your shadows on the floor
but is there any truth to the figures you create?
I'm tired of the acrobatics causing all my mental static
I'm mad as hell but tell me what else is new?
I'm through
So theres really nothing you can do
apologies are way past due
I've tried and tried and tried to make it through to you
so i scream into the endless void
and it returns a sense of comfort
which is more than i can say you've ever done
you must love it when i'm miserable
but you claim my pain is minimal
don't be surprised when you find out
I'm invisible
and you're never gonna find me now
you're never gonna find me now
you're never gonna find me now
you're never gonna find me now
its too far gone
|

If i had the time to make you mine, darlin' I would
darlin' I would
if i said I love you, would that be too much for you darlin'
for you, darlin
if i had the will to find the way to your heart i'd say....I'd say
If I ain't settlin for you darlin, I'll be settlin the west
ahhh
if I ain't settlin for you darlin, I'll be settlin for less
(x2)
And i try to forget how lonely that i get without you here
without ya here
yeah I try to get along, but its hard when I once held you so dear
and at night when I think about you, don't you know I shed a tear
If I ain't settlin for you darlin, I'll be settlin the west
ahhh
if I ain't settlin for you darlin, I'll be settlin for less
(x2)
Now the thought of seein you around is just breakin me down
breakin me down
So now i've got to ramble on, get on, disappear out of town
out of town
If I ain't settlin for you darlin, I'll be settlin the west
ahhh
if I ain't settlin for you darlin, I'll be settlin for less
(x2)
