kickin' around
03:44
|

maybe we'll dust it off
some days they just drag on
kickin' around
in my old boots
using my hands
all day
usually I'm dreaming of a past
that I can't change
future it seems so hopeful though
oh oh
maybe we'll see it through
maybe we'll all fall off
I'm stickin' around
for a few rounds
usually I'm dreaming of a past
that I can't change
future it seems so hopeful though
I found love in my heart
in my own way
future it seems so hopeful though
oh oh
maybe we'll dust it off
some nights they just drag on
kickin' around
in my old boots
using my hands
all day

your timeline

you're on a timeline
your fuse is finite
you're on a timeline
you're in the limelight
what you're seeing
you can feel
what you're feeling
I can too
I can too
your skin absorbs light
lungs pumping through the night
heart beats like a thundering sky
your voice soars like dragonflys
what you're hearing you can feel
what you're feeling
I do too
I do too
your eyes are on fire
bursting into the night
your feet move like shuffling winds
dancing into the night
you're on a timeline
your fuse is finite
you're on a timeline
you're in the limelight
what you're seeing
you can feel
what you're feeling
I can too

uptown strut
02:20
|
|||
|
I see you walkin' 'round town
with a face like you own the place
strut fierce
with smoky eyes that pierce
anyone who dares
to meet them
blue jays they sing shrill song
but hey man
it gets the job done
dissonance damn it cuts like a knife
but only few seem to mind it
I feel the gloom that's weighing us down
with no way to shake it
I feel the spell that's overtaken this place
with no way
to break it
steady workin' on a way outside
of myself
of my tunnel vision
firmly shaking all the hands
of my ugliest inner demons
Some day you're gonna wake up alone
with no one to point your finger at
stranger feelings will find you later on
will you know how to greet them?
one day you're gonna wake up alone
with no one to blame your sadness on tragic feelings will find you later on
will you know how to treat them?

not rushin'
03:28
|
|||
|
I'm not rushing anything
take my time
wait in line
early to rise
wipe sleep from eyes
I'm not rushin' anything
I'm not rushin' anything
take some years
sort my fears
maybe this time
I'll get it right

hidden omen
03:11
|
|||
|
waiting on a face to walk by
you feel your life slipping through your fingers
the room fills up with smoke
confusion now
you never thought it'd be so hard
to keep on letting go
you never thought
you'd see yourself
living on your own
waiting on a hidden omen
searchin' for yourself
in moments of
feeling lost
and restless
and alone
you never thought
it'd feel like this
now that you're getting older
all the dreams
we had as kids
well they just blew right over
when all your friends just seems to miss
only who you were
when all your thoughts
spin out of hand
well this is getting old

emerald eyes
03:04

|
emerald eyes they sing
memories of a tune
r a i n b o w s i n p a n o r a m a
your hand grasping mine
outside of time
revolutions
aligned
resonating
with stars
your hand grasping H A R D
I am who you are
emerald eyes they sing

missing you, Alena
03:22
|
|||
|
you held my hand there
& you looked at me bare
it was the last time
it was the last I saw you
& you sat in your chair
& how you got scared
every time the door opened behind you
it was the last time
it was the last time I saw you
it was the last time
it was the last time
it was the last time I saw you
we just sat there & stared
in the grasp of our hands
all of our memories
they surround us
& you looked at me then
& with a subtle smile
you showed me just what love is
it's not something grand
it's not spectacular
it's the fine strands
presence & warmth
it's not something grand
it's not spectacular
it's the fine strands
presence & warmth

rolling credits
03:14
|

|
sever the soul
take it away from the body
taken away from the home you knew
just like anything
this show comes to an end
laying down in the meadow with the bugs & the dirt
when time flood your brain
with memories
the current was too strong to fight
you were carried away in the cosmic tide
& as the credits roll
the tears stream down my cheeks
gone down a wormhole
the minutes they fade to weeks
you can't beat time
it will always win
just grit your teeth and grin
lean into the wind
lean into the wind
gathering stones
on the beach with my brother
letting our woes
just melt away
just like anything
the land comes to an end
sprawling out in the sand and time faded away
& as the credits roll
the tears stream down my cheeks
gone down a wormhole
the minutes they turn to weeks
you can't beat time
it will always win
just grit your teeth & grin
lean into the wind
lean into the wind
