Lyrics


Anomie

Lawless, broken down the bounds

Destructive, decay
Buried in a pocket of existence 

Miss Anomie, don't look at me with those eyes

Cut and run

I don't know why I should care
I'd do anything
To get out of here
To get out of here

Through disarray, you learn to separate
Who needs friends anyway? 

Got no faith, just malaise

Cut and run

I don't know why I should care

 I'd do anything
To get out of here
To get out of here

Cut and run

I don't know why I should care

 I'd do anything

To get out of here
To get out of here
To get out of here

Irrelevant

It wasn't the time to be judging my actions

I didn't have time to analyze

 You thought you were right to settle the situation
But your sign only reads one way

There are ceaseless sides of story

 Angles descend pouring
Discovering with intricacies of meaning 

Your stance is quite irrelevant
Your stance is quite irrelevant

Is it a crime to bear the mark of novice?
I hadn't yet tried to break the chain

An icy frost snaps the cord of loyalty

Friend means naught if friend doth betray

There are times when the suspect pleads guilty

 That is the time to incarcerate

But when I sought to amend my constitution

 You dared to claim I'd gone the wrong way

There are ceaseless sides of story

 Angles decend pouring
Discovering with intricacies of meaning
Your stance is quite irrelevant
Your stance is irrelevant

Your stance is...

Like You

The wind is blowing my house down

 Huff and puff and it's gone 

I just want to be like you

 You always know what you want
You always know what you want
You always know what you want

The lights here can be blinding
Watch your step then you fall

 I just want to be like you

 Want to be anything at all

 At all
At all

Now you are leaving

What will I do when you're gone

I just want to be like you

 But I'm not
No, I'm not

I'm not, no no, I'm not

The wind is blowing my house down

Huff and puff and it's gone 

I just want to be like you
But I'm not

Life

As the time sifts, mark the seasons' shift

Here comes the light

As the dawn fades, see the night unmade
Decipher the rite

As the time flows, see the highs and lows
Connecting life

Still the wheel turns and the seasons burn

Here comes the night

The cycle will run its course

 Until you have found the source

It takes so long to go home

Troubles come and go, I struggle as I grow

But I'll look ahead
Even when it ends there lies another bend

 To follow instead

The cycle will run its course

 Until you have found the source
It takes so long to go home

Nothing lasts forever
We are changed by each endeavor
Learn to flow with the tide
And shells of youth will soon subside

Wildfires

Wildflowers are blooming in the sun
Wildfires are burning the Earth down

 The beauty and the sadness are rolled into one

Wild child, you've got to be free

Your wild smile pales with all you see

I guess that's the cost of freedom

 Everything you've known is gone

Waiting for
Waiting for the rain
To break the dry spell
That nearly broke me

Searching for a clue but only skin deep
The story drags on through the same old scene

 And we all have our reasons

Without a warning, I'm gone

Waiting for
Waiting for the rain
To break the dry spell
That nearly broke me

Lullaby

Here comes the dark, time to fly
 I left you with a sad lullaby
Bye baby, bye bye
Bye baby, bye bye

Beads of rain fall in regret

But anguished pleas will not beget me now

 Bye baby, bye bye

 Bye baby, bye bye

Fire still flutters, I see it glow
But flame will soon gutter and stop the flow

Bye baby, bye bye

 Bye baby, bye bye

The path has changed, here lies the split

 Time seems strange as it shapes and shifts

Now we hold these willow heads, the branches will not hold you
The sap is run, its life is spent
And rushing winds seem to pull you on

I had no wish to cause distress
But freedom pulled, pushed, and pressed me now
Bye baby, good bye
Bye baby, good bye

Tangled Up

About his cold, lonely smile

It's usually warm and animated
There's a darkness deepening his eyes
Can't be penetrated

Looking for some sort of crack, a place the light trickles through
So I can reacquaint myself
with the love I once knew

You're changing like the tides in
a weather-stricken sea

Come back, honey

All I want to be

All I want to be

Is tangled up with you

All I want to be

All I want to be

Is tangled up with you

Drifting in and out of the days
Watching dusk turn to night 

I used to see forever
In your eyes

All I want to be

All I want to be

Is tangled up with you

All I want to be

All I want to be

Is tangled up with you

Phase

Life is flowing into consciousness 

Like a raging lava sea

Seems hard to trust that this too shall pass

But you've got such sound reasoning

You say you know that there are times 

When life does not seem right
But it'll turn around in time
Yeah, you know that there are times 

When life does not seem right
But it'll turn around in time

The storm is surging, there's no light to guide the way
While fog smothers identity

 You say relax, step back, and learn to breathe
Find your voice it's time to speak

And you know that there are times

When life does not seem right
But it'll turn around in time

 Yeah you know that there are times 

When life does not seem right
But it'll turn around in time

What will be will be
Surrender to release

Clutching kills connection

 Every wave will break, every tempest gives way
To unprecedented calm

Life is flowing into consciousness

 Like a gentle ocean breeze
Time to trust that it's just ebb and flow
Each phase is fleeting

Reincarnate

You held my heart in your arms
I guess you weren't that strong because you dropped it
Love, we flowered in a dream but then you scared me awake
If I built you a greenhouse could we reincarnate?

Speak up, speak out
We're face to face
I pull you in close
But you're still far away

So far away
So far away
So far away

Draw in my sails, got no course left to chart
The sweetness of our sunset has left me in the dark
Feel the wind pick up, current pulling me on
Your word is a Vail that you can't see beyond

Speak up, speak out
We're face to face
I pull you in close
But you're still far away

So far away
So far away
So far you've thrown us away

Almost Gone

Phone call
Punch in the gut

No place to stand straight in
No one to hold on to

Bed ridden

 Your skin hangs off your bones

No words will come to you
So we hold hands instead


And there are all of these people
And they are trying to help us
But there's nothing that can keep this from happening 

You're too far gone

Painless and now pain free

 You made your exit with a smile and finally found peace

So strange, this feeling of not feeling
Belief in not believing
That all my unmade memories
Are taken from me

Now, there may always be some hope
But your transition may be near

It's up to you to decide what's best for everyone
You're almost gone

I don't want you to leave

Well, I guess that is normal to feel

But I wouldn't change what was meant to be
Just for me

So now I walk on, but not away
'Cause you've been here all along, watching over me
Until it's my turn to return home
You're not really gone

Not really gone
You'll never be gone

Whirlwind Came

You lived your life like an angel
There isn't one thing you could have given me that you didn't
It's getting hard to find a silver lining 

When God or whomever can just rip it all away

Pain can always find the undeserving

And suffering does not discriminate 

Until we meet again, my friend, close your eyes 

Oh, how I wish you could've stayed

Driving the wrong direction on a one way

Whirlwind came, whirlwind came
Issue a ticket that I may learn
Girl, you've got to pay either way
Whirlwind came, whirlwind came
Swept me away

Baby bird, it's time to take flight 

The world used to look so small from such a great height
How can you pick up all that has come crashing down?
I don't care, I just miss you

Driving the wrong direction on a one way

Whirlwind came, whirlwind came
Issue a ticket that I may learn
Girl, you've got to pay either way

 Whirlwind came, whirlwind came
Swept me away

Wake Up

Wake up, why are you sleeping?

Wake up and look what you've done

It's a long road back and I'm already tired of trying to explain

Why we're going back in the first place
With your eyes hanging low you've managed to dig a great hole

And now we're bringing back the calm that once surrounded us

Wake up, where are you going?
Get up there's chaos to be undone

It's a long road back and I'm already tired of trying to explain

Why we're going back in the first place
With your eyes hanging low you've managed to dig a great hole

And now we're bringing back the calm that once surrounded us

You can't turn back time

But you can set it straight

Just open your eyes and awake

 Stay up, stay up
