Bridges (Live)
10:04
|

|
Bridges bridge the gaps between bridges
Over rivers hopefully fully flowing
Going and knowing
Leaves are leaving
Colors deceiving
Retrieving belief relief from conviction
Contemplating consumption
And failing to mention sound direction
I squandered my trail
Wandered footsteps retraced
Seasoned memoirs forsake me
Erased and retraced testing your while
Not accepting defeat
Manifesting retreat
Not accepting defeat
Affording no blunder
Accordingly slumber
<<Chorus>>
Different days
To try to understand
Different ways
To be a better man
(2x)
I overlook the things I know
I take for granted that they grow
I’d rather be knocking down a tree
Then see what it could do to me
I like fireworks
But stars are just as bright
I’ll take the light of day
And turn it into night
I’d like to find some water
And turn it into ice
<<Chorus 2x>>

Ignis Fatuus (Live)
07:13
|

|
Where he gets his glass of absinthe I’ll never know
But like the will of the wisp he’s starting to glow
In sanity he found nothing just something that isn’t
But insanity to him it became something so pleasant
<<Chorus>>
It moves him the way that it moves
It soothes him the way that it grooves
(2x)
Akimbo in the umbra of an eclipse
Arroyo ongoing unending ellipse
<<Chorus 4x>>

Rosa's Garage (Live)
06:32
|

|
Pablo’s got 5 kilos in the trunk
His sustenance is sabotaged there’s just no way
He’s gonna get away clean, primo on the scene
Rosa put the cash under the can outside the garage
Watch the night sky slip away
<<Chorus>>
Ride cold rail ride into the endless abyss Steal one little kiss
Strung out on the thin white line
Losing your mind
(2x)
Mean Gene, living in a dream
Doesn’t care at all for the thrill
Pops another pill
Piled high with caffeine and nicotine
All his days end up the same way
A dirty faced face wide eyed wild man waiting by the can
With a loaded gun in his hand
<<Chorus 2x>>
<<Chorus>>

The Taunting (Live)
11:19
|
|||
|
All I ever wanted was all I never had
All I ever wanted always made me sad Haunting me With what they flaunted Taunting me With what they wanted Kept it under lock and key So I may never see She said she’d let me know That means she’ll let me go
<<Chorus>>
She said she’d let me know
That means she’ll let me go
(2x)
Thought I thought about it
Now I doubt it
Thought I thought about it
Now I doubt it
(3x)
Kept it under lock and key
So I may never see
She said she’d let me know
That means she’ll let me go
<<Chorus 4x>>

Cubicle Command (Live)
09:36
|
|||
|
When we're walking and we're talking things are going fast
Then we're drinking and we're thinking this could never last
And you might think it can
We begin to fight and we rant
So many situations sitting stagnant
Now starting to stir, simply stating something so sure
<Chorus>
If I can't help you, you can help me
Then the combo of us could just make it be
To get away from this cubicle command
Let my hands feel the Earth
Elevate my eyes to the sky, rely on my worth
Inside stays the same every time I see it
So I play the game, I try to be it
Inside it leaks out and I try to be slick
Before I freak out, I gotta move quick
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
Stuck in my cubicle, stiff like an icicle
Munch on my cuticle, safe like a tricycle
(4x)

Creepy Creatures (Live)
04:51
|
|||
|
In your sleep you hear the creep of the creature slip beneath your bed
Your comforters not so comforting while your nails slowly shred
You avoid looking now cause you just might find
The Creepy Creatures that lurk through your mind
Tuck yourself in, sheets pulled down tight
You're in for a journey that could last you all night
You tell yourself there's not such a thing
But you've seen them before and the terror they bring
You've heard of the clown that makes trees consume boys
You've heard them at night, those terrible toys
You hear stitches ripping, as they come apart at the seams
Awake every night you wish they were your dreams
Up all night long, one eye's open wide
to search for the creeps to see where they hide.
But they're under your bed, out of sight and you
So wrap yourself tight, cause it's all you can do.
<<Chorus 4x>>
Pillow will provide a perfect place
Hide your face
