Playground Swing.
04:19
|
|||
Solid concepts grab you by the throat
Like meaning to accuse
And finding yourself accused.
But lo, life hangs around you until you find yourself hanging.
Putting something in a hole,
And finding yourself in a mess.
Feels like swinging
On a playground swing.
Morbid consequences find you
In the most inconvenient places.
A measure of trust amounts
to the same pile of garbage as a measure of doubt.
Random pieces of words you tend to spray around so carelessly
Float in the air and reach the many fools who don’t share.
Feels like swinging
On a playground swing.
A solid concept of what is possible
Is hung suspended in midair
While uncertainty evolves around it like an occupied land.
You feel that words of trust and doubt
Cohesively emerge.
But then, who are you to doubt the opposing side?
It feels like swinging
On a playground swing.

The Response
03:49
|
|||
I drank so much,
While sitting in the moonlight i thought
“Oh, how i’d run far and fast”,
The beating of the drums sound clear,
I held on to you dear.
But this is not my rhythm
This is not my response
I held you close
But this is not my response.
From the highest mountain top
To the lowest deep
I invoke my right to shout
But instead i speak.
The attack and the sustain of
your hold on me
I try hard not to allow, but i long to see.
On the verge of my defeat
I take a sec to breath
In this turning point i stumble
I allow no sleep.
The rhythm’s stable in my lungs
Echoes loudly in my heart
All along the stream i float
Shipless shores i trust.

The Harm
03:50
|
|||
I wish nothing to harm you
I’ll say it again,
I wish nothing to stand in your way.
I hear their voice surround you
I’ll say it out loud
I wish nothing to harm you.
I’d like you to be patient
I might not be worth the wait
I think you stand against me.
I hear they’ve opened fire
I breath in your fears
I listen to you singing
A song for them to hear.
I might not even be here
When you wake up
They might be putting me away
Right now.
But you, you are so gracious
And i may still have time
Redeem yourself my lover
And live their new found lies.

The Bees
03:43
|
|||
I close my eyes, get in the car and contemplate what’s wrong.
I breath this smell into my lungs, i work myself through the dawn.
I step into my shell, pretend that no one’s threatening me.
Where marriages fall apart i dream and keep you far beneath.
This bright pink dawn where car fly by and where machines can talk,
Their inherent sound leaves me astounded in light of what they took.
But time is almost over for you, by now you must believe
That i am not the root of sorrow, or a map to find the bees.

The Rib Cage
04:07
|
|||
You will never find me
Underneath the rug,
Not underneath the table
Or inside your coffee mug.
You can never trace me
Though i’m not far away,
(I’m in the midst of your decay)
Though in my heart i long to stay.
Soon we’ll find
Just how fragile are our bones
And just how hard the rib cage is
Underneath the never ending weight.
You will never try me
I escaped you in a car
In the cold darkness of morning
Or in the harsh light of noon.
You can never tie me
I’m not as softly bound
As you remember i were before
Though gallons past under that bridge.
Soon we’ll find
Just how non negotiable is our state of mind.
And just how fragile this ragged rib cage is
Underneath the weight.
Soon we’ll find
Just how fragile are our bones
And just how hard the rib cage is
Underneath the never ending weight of years.

What I Deserve
03:47
|
|||
The birds are fighting endlessly
Perhaps to make amends
The birds are calling back to me
To find how his tale ends.
And i can’t answer them straightly
I lost the reason of
The battle for romance baby
And i just have to go.
(I’m alive, am i?
Time along the way are coming back to me
The path is now seen.)
Of all words i can’t seem to find
To put my finger on
Is the source conclusion to this illusion
That you and i swallow.
(And would you do things differently
If you were where i’ve been?
And can you see where we are today?)
I have my longings for you babe
And that’s what i deserve-
To love you from afar, cause darling
You honestly demand the nerve.
I can’t put into words
I almost don’t even try.
I can’t keep falling into spaces
And hide under insane lies.

An Upset Tide.
02:48
|
|||
I wake up to find an upset tide
Rising furiously against my shores.
I open my eyes to see the angry foam
Crashing
Against me.
It is lonely on this island
I endure no consequence
But you keep knocking on my fence
And await
My response.
But this is not my call nowadays
Not my own voice
It wasn’t my choice
Not my response.
Like a fish out of water
Like a ring of smoke rising through the trees
Steer clear of me.

Running Out of Time
03:40
|
|||
I would throw you in the river myself
If you catch my unapologetic face in the
Dark of morning
The attention you crave
Your sweat indicates a strand of
distant regret.
I would throw you,
Though you couldn’t understand my means -
I would not regret a single thing
I would throw you -
Cause you couldn’t even dream my needs
I wouldn’t tell anyone.
I’m a soldier out of mind and i’m
running out of time.
I’ve no longing
Not an ounce of interest
Not a sense of smooth innocence about your
Mass obsession
Nor the rain on your face
You crave such control, try to put me in a cage
But you see - Em
I’m a soldier out of mind and i’m
running out of time.
Early warnings, truthful sayings are
all that i can give.
Early warnings, truthful sayings are
all that i can give

Using My Eyes
04:18
|
|||
Lately i feel that my voice is too loud
That i feel observed, as if i’m facing a crowd
And other voices a pulling me down.
And is it today that i don’t know where i stand,
I might be believing i walk on some other man’s land.
Then fianally i creep back home where i stay.
Could you believe me?
Cause i honestly don’t know.
And it’s such a shame to watch the little ones play.
Hunting each other for lack of words to say
I really don’t see it much, do you?
Could you think of yourself coming to an end
When all the world fades and you start to descent
Down under into the unknown.
But do i see you using my eyes?

The Sands
04:12
|
|||
I bury my arms
In the sands of my mind
In a whirlpool of lies
Covering both my eyes.
I keep saying it’s time
But then, what is my crime?
(don’t set these eyes on me.)
I bury my life in some hidden drawer
Or in a hole in the sand
Covering both my hands.
And i sing and i stare, I wish i wouldn’t dare
To besiege my own home
Meanwhile feeling so torn
But in time i cry out
Where this well finally dries
I will bury my arms in the sands of my life
And i’ll die.
(don’t set these eyes on me
Because i’m flailing in their gaze
Don’t throw your fires at me
Because i’m just a mouse in the maze.
And truthfully darling, i’ll be good to you
In this world today, with all my might)
I’ll die of my crimes, I’ll fish my ideas
From the drawer in my mind
Covering both my eyes
In the sands of my lies.
I’ll sing my demise from the depth of my lungs
From this well i had stung
From the life that was before
The ideas from the drawer
I won’t set it on fire
Nor wish for it to catch
I will bury my hands
In the sands of my lies
I will break my own trust
I will pay for my crimes
And i’ll die. I will die.

When The Uprise Lifts
04:50
|
|||
When the uprise lifts
And the raging crowds have all grown cold
You look at your iron fist and miss
The buzz of beginnings,
and you're free to go.
See a buzzard circling round
a playground you saved
It's like half a joke to see how old you've become
And man
You're not even that old.
Now the time of action's past
Moons and four summers gone all wrong
A wild horse in an open cage sighs at the mare in the field
Hello Y'all!
See the demons they'd caught
When they told you "get a grip!"
It's a minor slip and then you're on your ass because, you know...
It hurts when the uprise lifts.
Please don't ask for it again,
I'll see it through you.
I'm bound to be the same in the end
Please don't ask for it again.
When the fire hits
And the last leaf has fallen on judgement day
You burry your head in hands and wonder
What the hell did you do wrong,
Where are we now?
On the verge of migration
From Sinai to Tel Aviv
It's our last resort and we do it just for sport, because you see
The well was never deep enough,
But when your home amiss
And reality keeps changing constantly around you
You make up your mind three seconds too late
Then you're bound to be bounded
Plead for something to shift
For milenium to approach quick
Before they make with the stick, you know...
IT HURTS WHEN THE UPRISE LIFTS!
Please don't ask for it again,
I'll see it through you.
I'm bound to be the same in the end
Please don't ask for it again.

While You Were Sleeping.
03:24
|
|||
And here is where i see
A sordid road, a storm in me
And it is here that we can be
We make the time for being free.
And here is where i form
A hidden place from the coming storm
And in your eyes i lose myself
And in your eyes i climb and break.
And in the storm i lie awake
The hidden place, the stand i take
And in your eyes i’m safe and free
I am awake, the storm’s in me.
-
-
-
-
...
While you were sleeping,
I moved on.
While you were nesting
I brought on the storm.
You take it far, i take it slow
You want it dark but i don’t know.
While you were sleeping,
I brought on the storm.
(i feel the loss before it hits,
Pets left behind, loose ends adrift.)
