(The Moon)
Can you see the moon?
Can you see the moon?
It's shining a light on me tonight
Is it doing the same for you?
(Apostasy)
You were in the kitchen with more boxed wine
And you made a deal with someone who promised you that you would never die
You say he’s the greatest of all things, but we disagree
He is cruel, unusual and he is punishing
And I am young and old in the same mind
And when you hit the back of my head, my ears rang three times
We walked into the backyard shed
There was a warm glowing light wrapped around your neck
It was a sign from the ancestors of the old
For us to do our very best
But what do you do when the sign that everyone made you obey
Was the one single thing we saw them choose to betray every single day?
And I am young and old at the same time
I wish your bible and your words were of the same kind
I’m not the daughter that you always desired, but that’s alright
My mind will eventually divide
My soul will soar right into the sky
You are the devil’s own right-hand-man in the daytime

Song for Thunder - Live

I can hear the rainclouds calling
I can hear the forest in tune with the rain that's falling
And I can hear you rolling with the thunder too
Oh, but thunder
Don't leave me
Oh, thunder
Speak to me sweetly
Oh, thunder
Don't leave me until the day I die

Caramel creams and peaceful dreams
All over my window screen
I hope she'll have the courage to bleed
In front of me
The creams and dreams start to seep
Through the screen and into our bloodstream
The tears pour from the ducts in her seams
Her pain is now finally free

You walked into the gas station bathroom stall
You put the razor blade to your wrist
Portals to hell appeared on the piss-stained walls
And you let the shining metal slip
You stared into the sterile abyss
When the blood pooled into the toilet bowl
And just as you began to ghost
All you saw were all the colors of the rainbow
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple
Never-ending vertigo
|

You blow bitter bubbles while the sky turns grey
And the orange smoothies decay
I guess I never liked those flowers anyway
But I am happy
I am oh-so happy
Nothing can bring me down anymore
In flashes of colors all black and white
The Blue Angel Jets boast off the coast and then take flight
Like your fists of fury that blast with might
Like your hair that floats like tatered sails in the moonlight
And you're packing your bags for the fifteenth time
While the bruise on my temple bends into a smile
And I am happy
I am oh-so happy
You can't take me down anymore
Horse and chariot are cast into the sea

The strong maple tree has sap-a-plenty
And is keeping its shape more than ever before
And only in me can I try to achieve such strength and belief
And through that pain I'll find the last maple leaf
Little deer fawning
Friendships talking
Young'uns yawning
Mildew crawling
New day dawning today
Little deer fawning
Friendships talking
Young'uns yawning
Mildew crawling
New day dawning today

Wild Eyrie - Live

Up on the wild eyrie today
The Elder Eagle had his say
On the way the brances and leaves would sway
About the stems and twigs inside my brain
And the dogs around the local forest will play
With the girls and boys who will feel ok
They will feel alright at the end of the day
Until the Elder Eagle has his say
Has his say
Up on the wild eyrie today
The words at once all went away
And the synapses could no longer stay
So they snapped in two, and there they'd lay
And throught the entire month of May
The Elder Eagle felt dismay
For the child in straight jackets of grey
From the words that at once all went away
They went away

Sinkhole - Live
00:59
|
|

|
The heart is closer to the brain
Where all that's left to feel is rain
One day we will form into one name
And we will sink into a hole filled with flames
And the rain that pours around all day
Will never soak through to our burning grace
The heart is closer to the brain
And the pain we feel will never end for us again
|
||||
9. |
|
|||
|
The thinning whistle will come for us all
Cascades and then decays when it falls
Like the big oak tree you stood so tall
Until you became nothing at all
And the swan song went:

The Opening - Live
03:00
|
|
||
|
Here comes the opening
Don't you miss it
And when the door comes into full view in front of you
Swing it wide and step inside until you see a bright blue
Of leaves and greens and trees and things
That take you in all through all the leaves
And wrap you in linen clothes
All softly and sweetly
So don't you miss it
Don't you miss it
I won't
And I hope that hell doesn't exist in anyway
But I've come to find that the real horror is today

Woke up this morning and I felt alright
The rainclouds parted and let in some light
I made some pistachio cannoli cream
And I felt a love within when I saw you around me
A bullet to the chest and I don't feel a thing
A knife right to the heart and I don't feel a thing
Barbs around me ankles and I don't feel a thing
I think this is the first time I've felt good in my life
So let's walk around you and I
In this pretty little world of ours until we die
Open up your arms to my warming mind
And I will do my best to open mine
Cause my heart is cavernous but I try
To keep all the bad out and the good inside
So when the sun sets inside our eyes
I hope I will have no regrets in my time
Your warmth against my heart and I feel everything
Your lips against mine and I feel everything
Your warmth inside my brain and I feel it
I feel you within me
I feel your love in me
I feel your words all around me
I feel your arms around my body
I feel your brain inside me
I feel your everything
I don't think this will be the last time I feel good in my life

Song for Birds - Live
02:04
|
|

|
When I see you there with broken legs and broken arms
I'll glue some wings around your heart
And you'll fly so far away from this home
From this place reshaping every day
Metamorphosing in the worst of ways
And it is wrong
So sing your song, your holy harmony
Your notes stretched out just for me
And fly so far that you forget
What made your flying begin
And nothing will be wrong
Nothing will be wrong anymore
