faithfull
plaque on the wall says that no one's slept here
it's rare to come upon a bridge that has not been around or been stepped on
whatever the notion we laced in our prayers
the man upstairs is used to all of this noise
i'm through with screaming
and echoes... that nobody hears
it goes
it goes
it goes
like echoes... that nobody hears
it goes
it goes
it goes
like...
we're faithful...
we all believe, we all believe it
we're faithful...
oh we all believe, we all believe it
we're faithful...
we all believe, we all believe it
and echoes... that nobody hears
it goes
we're faithful...
we all believe, we all believe it
so faithful...
oh we all believe, we all believe it
m.y.t.h is belief in the game
controls that keeps us in a box of fear
we never listen
voice inside, so drowned out
drowned you are, you are
you are a furry thing
and everything is you
me you, you me
it's all related
what's a boy, to do
just be a darling
and i will be too
faithful
to you

no way
here's a token of my open-ness
of my need to not disappear
how i'm feeling, so revealing to me
i found my mind too clear
i just need someone to be there for.. me
i just want someone to be there for.. me
all the static in my attic-a
shoots down my sciatic nerve
to the ocean of my platitudes
longitudes, latitudes, it's so absurd
i just need someone to be there for..
i just want someone to be there for..
someone to be there for me
'cause i'll stop trying to make a difference
i'm not trying to make a difference
i'll stop trying to make a difference
no way
'cause i'll stop trying to make a difference
i'm not trying to make a difference
i'll stop trying to make a difference
no way
ooh, let's call in an angel
ooh, let's call in an angel
ooh, let's call in an angel
'cause i'll stop trying to make a difference
i'm not trying to make a difference
i'll stop trying to make a difference
no way
'cause i'll stop trying to make a difference
i'm not trying to make a difference
i'll stop trying to make a difference
no way, no way
let's call in an angel
who's calling an angel

given to fly
he could have tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out
a bad time, nothing could save him
alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
he got up out of there, ran for hundreds of miles
he made it to the ocean had a smoke in a tree
the wind rose up, set him down on his knee
a wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw,
delivered him wings, "hey look at me now..."
arms wide open with the sea as his floor
oh, oh, oh...
he's flying, whole!
high! wide! oh...
he floated back down cause he wanted to share
his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
but first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed
by faceless men, well fuckers...he still stands
and he still gives his love, he just gives it away;
the love he recieves is the love that is saved
and sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
a human being that was given to fly...
flying! whole...
high! flying! whole...
he's flying! woah...
high... woah... oh...

wishlist
i wish i was a neutron bomb, for once i could go off
i wish i was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on
i wish i was a sentimental ornament that you hung on
the christmas tree, i wish i was the star that went on top
i wish i was the evidence, i wish i was the grounds
for fifty million hands upraised and open toward the sky
i wish i was a sailor with someone who waited for me
i wish i was as fortunate as fortunate as me
i wish i was a messenger and all the news was good
i wish i was the full moon shining off of a camaro's hood
i wish i was an alien at home behind the sun
i wish i was the souviener you kept your house key on
i wish i was the pedal brake that you depended upon
i wish i was the verb to trust that never let you down
i wish i was a radio song the one that you turned up
i wish i wish...

pilate
talk of circles, and punching out
looking in, drawing circles down
falling off the south marking ground
talking out of turn, drawing circles down
like pilate, i have a dog
like pilate, i have a dog
walks me out of town
still, one's a crowd
making angels in the dirt
looking up, looking all around
like pilate, i have a dog
(obeys, listens, kisses, loves)
like pilate, i have a dog
(obeys, listens, kisses, loves)
stunned by my own reflection
it's looking back, sees me too clearly
and i swore, i'd never go there again
not unlike a friend that
politely drags you down, you down, you down, you down
like pilate, i have a dog
(obeys, listens, kisses, loves)
like pilate, i have a dog
(obeys, listens, kisses, loves)
like pilate, i have a dog
(obeys, listens, kisses, loves)

mfc
sliding out of reverse into drive
this wheel will be turning right, then straight
off in the sunset she'll ride
she can remember a time denied, stood by
the side of the road, spilled like wine, now
she's out on her own and line high
there's no leaving here
ask, i'm an ear
she's disappeared
they said timing was everything
made him want to be everywhere
there's a lot to be said for nowhere
there's no leaving here
ask, i'm an ear
he's disappeared
there's no leaving here
ask, i'm an ear
fuck it, we'll disappear

low light
clouds roll by
reeling is what they say
or is it just my way
wind goes by
low light
sidetracked
low light
can't see my tracks
your scent...way back
can i be here all alone?
clear a path to my home
blood runs dry
books and jealousy tell me wrong
i will feel calm
voice blows by
low light
car crash
low light
can't wear my mask
your first, my last
voice goes by
two birds is what they'll see
getting lost upon their way
wind rolls by
low light
eyesight
low light
i need the light
i'll find my way from wrong
what's real, our dream i see

in hiding
i shut and locked the front door
no way in or out
i turned and walked the hallway
and pulled the curtains down
i knelt and emptied the mouth
of every club around
but nothing's sound
oh.. nothing's sound
i'd stay here where my last cab left me
ignored all my rounds
soon i was seeing visions,
and cracks along the walls
they were upside down
i swallow my words to keep from lying
i swallow my face just to keep from biting... biting, biting
i swallowed my breath and went deep, i was diving, diving
i surfaced when all of my being was enlightened
now...i'm
i'm in hiding, yeah
i'm in hiding, yeah yeah
i'm in hiding
it's been about three days now since i've been aground
no longer, overwhelmed and it seems so simple now
it's funny when things change so much
it's all a state of mind
i swallowed my words to keep from lying
i swallowed my face just to keep from biting... biting, biting
i swallowed my breath and went deep, i was diving, i was diving
i surfaced and all of my being was enlightened
now i'm
i'm in hiding, yeah
i'm in hiding, yeah yeah
i'm in hiding
i'm in hiding, yeah yeah
i'm in hiding, yeah
i'm in hiding...

push me, pull me
i had a false belief
i thought i came here to stay
we're all just visiting
all just breaking like waves
the oceans made me, but who came up with me?
push me, pull me, or pull me out
push me, pull me, or pull me out
so if there were no angels, would there be no sin?
you better stop me before i begin
but let me say: if i behave, can you arrange a spacious hole in the ground
somewhere nice, make it nice
where the land meets my pride
push me, pull me, or pull me out
push me, pull me, or pull me out
push me, pull me, or pull me out
push me, pull me, or pull me out
like a cloud dropping rain
i'm discarding all thought
i'll dry up, leaving puddles on the ground
i'm like an opening band for the sun
push me, pull me, push me, pull me
push me, pull me, push me, pull me
push me, pull me, push me, pull me
i've had enough, said enough, felt enough, i'm fine

all those yesterdays
don't you think you oughtta rest
don't you think you oughtta lay you head down
don't you think you want to sleep
don't you think you oughtta lay your head down, tonight
don't you think you've done enough
oh, don't you think you've got enough, well maybe...
you don't think there's time to stop
there's time enough for you to lay your head down...tonight, tonight
let it'll wash away
all those yesterdays...
what are you running from
taking pills to get along
creating walls to call your own
so no one catches you
drifting off and doing all the things
that we all do
let them all wash away
all those yesterdays...
all those yesterdays
all those paper plates
all those yesterdays
you've got time, you've got time to escape
there's still time
it's no crime to escape
it's no crime to escape
it's no crime to escape
there's still time, so escape
it's no crime...
all those yesterdays
all those yesterdays
all those yesterdays
