Wait

Well I woke up early back then,
where time seemed stopped and nothings at its end.
Yeah I'd make my way back down that same old hill,
to the spot where ticking clocks would mill.
and ride the bus right back to where,
all the misery of the world would share (its true)
But something was not that fair.
Do you hear the sound of birds in flight?
or try to chase away the chains of nigh.?
Or wonder why the air you breathe's so stale?
or hammer in the rusted chain mail? (its true)
For what is done I know you can smile at it all.
Would you wait?
Would you wait?
Would you wait in space and time before its late?
Would you wait?
Would you wait for it to leave you in its wake?

Out of reach
03:30

Well I feel relief,
as the heat burns a hole in the street.
There's no time to waste with deceit,
as the river runs dark and deep.
And its all just out of reach.
And you know the lines,
that we cross to get through space and time.
No more wasted words in rhymes,
can kill of all the hate in the crimes.
And it seems like its shifting away,
to the pain that's left here in the day.
But I'll smack it away into shame,
and I know i'll build back again.
And it's just out of reach,
and its just out of your reach.

Cold soul
03:00
|

|
It's a trap,
you lose your way.
Doesn't matter anyway...
and it feels like a cold soul
what you think
and all you say,
doesnt matter anyway...
all the weight
in yesterdays,
doesnt matter anyway...
and it feels like a sold soul
to crawl through,
to climb through,
to hide through,
to dive through,
to lie through,
see truth through,
be you through,
to be through.

Red, white and blue
03:16
|

Save my soul,
even though I don't think I've got one to control.
And here comes the mark of the beast,
on the wall he bares his teeth.
Red, white and blue
you don't know what you do.
And here comes another way,
standing around deep in the day.
I saw it leave,
walking backwards up the street.
Sparklers glowing in the sky,
as time could tick by.
The head dies first,
a pile of flowers on hearse.
And here comes a southerly,
promising showers and relief.

I Suppose
03:58
|

|
Most of the time I seem to get stranded,
get bound up by chains and lose the mandate,
of all of the thoughts that are here in my head,
by the end of the day when i'm feeling the weight in my bones.
I suppose.
The mysteries their and its floating on air,
and its heavier than the lightest of heirs,
and its twisting along on the weight of a song,
back to where it belongs where it can't be a tree in my eye.
Passed me by.
It seems so hard one,
to have so much fun.
But I suppose at the end of the wave,
there's someone to sink to and someone to save,
and sometone to think about into the night,
and it make you feel like you are alright.
I suppose, I suppose.
Cause all of these words are just wasted in me,
and they set me free and they go on a spree,
and i go home poorer then when i returned,
and I feel the weight lifted I feel the flames burn.
I suppose I don't know.
Its just so hard one,
to have so much fun
They won't see me,
they won't see me,
you won't see me
I can't see me,
he won't see me anymore,
she won't see me anymore.
I suppose that I just don't know.

The Ballad Of
03:36
|
|||
|
Wait by the slow burning coals with their peeling black smoke,
to hide in the cloak of dusk.
Let the endless sand spray hold your soul in a vice,
stare out at the seas cold glare.
Then pretend that your lost just waiting to find,
just waiting to be found.
Defy the laws of your land no fear in your head,
no stone in your heart or your hand.
Watch as all that you learnt becomes so useless,
in the eyes of the change you've seen.
As they look at you in a glow of shimmering skin,
and you fall and hurt your pride.
To lie to yourself one last time to be crushed against rocks,
that will never roll away.
To sigh is to break up the day is to destroy the night is to pass it, up on and away from you.
There's no shame in you,
There's no pain with you.
