Close The Gates

Close the gates
behind me
and shelter the lonely
bolt the door
and swallow the key
only if i dream
(cmon lets go!)
Florescent tomb stones
wrapped around your face
to hold your name
to the blade
We sank every ship
on the shore line
trying to remember
keeping tack of what has been
but we have lost the record
so many years ago
“every heaven turns a key just so you can walk into another door, and it seems you've left every key in your pocket, just so you can know where you have and have not been. You’ve accumulated a couple thousand pounds by now and can no longer move, you see an empty door behind you and try to run inside but can go any where, though your desire to do so remains. Eating away at tomorrow and eating your soul from the inside out. I'm running to you now with a torch in my hand. I need your help to burn this place to the ground. Ignite it into a beacon that will recreate the dazzling morning sunshine.”
Sunshine flows
you went to bed all alone
Sunshine Flows
you bread the lamb broken of bones
Sunshine flows
we must close the gates on our own
Pain untold
let it go
walk my ghost
to the sun again

Holly man
With the teeth of armageddon in your hand
Please polish them fine
I have done my time and now
I am coming for you
(IM GONA GECHA, IM GONA GECHA THATS WHAT IM GONA DO!)
Lonely man
Tell me what is standing just behind us
(IS IT A GHOST? NO!)
It's only the voice of reason
Ripping out your soul from the wall
Tip the scale off balance
In any known direction
Come and Step into the great unknown
And get the one for good luck
Life is loveless enough
Even if you decorate your soul
So tip the scale off balance
In any known direction
Follow me into the great unknown
Give it the one for good luck
Life is loveless enough
Don't let the decorations over flow
While delicate hands
Reached up to the sun
I was running out of time
And saw
The world burn below
Trapped under demands
Piled high to the stars
She went so damn far
When off shot the gun
And down went the dream
Clear as day to me in the light
Fear rose high and spoke of days
Untouched by grace
Dissolving out of reality
Break the chains
Dissolve Into Reality
Break the chains
Dissolve Into Reality
Even if you never had a shot in the dark
So far we've kept a pretty good shot
I'd say we're loosing a lot of blood but my vision's holding up
Was it enough to speak to you
Within the confines of the only way home
Destruction knows who is crying
Within the memories we erased
It's never easy but i know you can try
Break the chains
And decorate this world in a new light
Get ready oh it's coming
Yes the time is here again
Break these chains
Decorating the world
Some one is dying out there
And I need you to bid fair well
Break these chains please break these chains again
Break these chains away
So Tip the scale off balance
In any known direction
Come and Step into the great unknown
And get the one for good luck
Life is loveless enough
Even if you decorate your soul
So tip the scale off balance
In any known direction
Follow me into the great unknown
Give it the one for good luck
Life is loveless enough
Don't let the decorations over flow

Swallow The Torch
04:08

Remember yesterday
Are you now as you were
My sweet love decayed
You were my fire to burn
Will we lean
Will it give
Is it right
Step closer to me and my eyes
In remembering how we swallowed the torch and carried on
Through the night
I built the walls of prison
Balancing the weight of all day
(Swallow the torch and guid me home)
Remember yesterday
Was it perfectly intact
My heat bled to say
Gather your voice
Stand up and react
Now at last
Standing firm
To get it right
Step closer to me and my eyes
In remembering how we swallowed the torch and carried on
Through the night

I've Gone Again
02:55
|
|||
|
Scratch marks strewed across my halo
I'm impatiently unrested though content
Life had other plans
I bowed my head between the sheets
Remained awake for several hours
Not completing tests of time
I've gone again
Expose me for what i am
The ghost of a shadow
Lurking under discontent and memory
We were born to reach to love
We will surly split the skin
Slipping off another layer
Showing only meat and bone
I've gone again
My Friend I'll meet you on the other side of life
I'll meet you on the other side
And now it seems we must depart
Here we go again
Frail souls
Drift so far away
You know we were one of them
Bright lights flash and constrict
Behind the sky
I've gone again

Trailing Off And Away
03:31
|
|||
|
Surly I
Have lost control
Of staggering day dream ropes
That have tried and prevailed
To pull me down
To the great bellow
If only I had a ladder
Rather than hands to throw me
Down the hill we'd sore
Like a plane crash kissed by the tip of a mountain
Out of touch and half astounded
That we had not said good by
-
Sad statues in the garden
Keeping me ok
I'm out on a limb I'm on my own
I'm trailing off and away
[[GOOD MORNING]]
"...crack down on supplementary heirlooms..."
"...choose wisely, all a fabrication!..."
I'm trailing off and away
Down the hill we'd sore
Like a plane crash kissed by the tip of a mountain
Out of touch and half astounded
That we had not said good by
-
Sad statues in the garden
Keeping me ok
I'm out on a limb I'm on my own
I'm trailing off and away
Sleep deprivation kicked me to the curb
Constricting paradise built for the birds
I'm trailing off and away
Don't try and save me

Bring Me Back
06:11
|

Bright pale oceans
Of what use to be
Overflowing inside
Between my memories
From in the water she sang
To me lonely on the shore
Captivating all the souls
That she had stolen before
-
They all sang along
Floating between the waves of discontent
And euphoria
Felt more than love
...Chanting as they reached to her
Bring me back now
And state the facts
To box me in from every side
Oh I'm pleading with sight to
Change the shade of my view
A prison built to choose the ones who will stay
Every soul lost, withering every last second away,
This is all that, we have surpassed, oh my dear its a battle of
...Withered tourney
Its a battle of the mind
Bright pale oceans
Of what use to be
Overflowing inside
Between my memories
From in the water she sang
To me lonely on the shore
Captivating all the souls
That she had stolen before
-
They all sang along
Floating between the waves of discontent
And euphoria
Felt more than love
...Chanting as they reached to her
Bring me back sound
Without a gun to scare away
Anyone in my bed
I slept along the rivers edge
To hear the voices of god
Distorted echoes that reflect to the grave
Do you decide the ones who will stay
Do you, Do you?
Oh, I'd love to!
Do you decide the ones who will stay
Weather i sink or swim
Either way love
Falls away
I know you do
Oh i know you do
I just love to decide the ones who will stay
Bring me back now

Amidst Reduction
05:33
|

|
Drain my view
Of color lost through out the ages
So that i may choose
A spirt brave enough to guid me
Over all crossed line
We will keep this fire burning 'til the end of time
Amidst reduction
Pain you've known
Love broken and thrown away
Amidst reduction
While nearly i had spilled
Over the ledges cliffs and cuts
But threw my balance just in time
With uncut diamonds from the rough
That split the sunlights rays
Down every path I'd follow blind
Long awaited lovers do not stair into closing eyes
Take another look
Drown your self destruction
Inching closer to find
-
Hatred wrote the book
Off the beaten path we found the time
By night we had fallen apart
And had made every attempt
To try and save these
-
Precious complications
Yet to no prevail
I swear its only bliss in the end
Lets keep out hearts held free
One day we'll walk into the ocean
Til then leave what is to be
Drain my view
Of color lost through out the ages
So that i may choose
A spirt brave enough to guid me
Over all crossed line
We will keep this fire burning 'til the end of time
Amidst reduction
Pain you've known
Love broken and thrown away
Amidst reduction
No one put the peices back to place
Holding a candle with not flame
Burning the wick at both ends
I can't remain in this life full of spite
And stagnation
Drain my view
Of color lost through out the ages
So that i may choose
A spirt brave enough to guid me
Over all crossed line
We will keep this fire burning 'til the end of time
Amidst reduction
Pain you've known
Love broken and thrown away
Amidst reduction

Common Threads
06:23
|

Come real me in
With these
Tethers and lines
That i'm tangles up in
Vines that drape over cause
That i lost when i reached for them
Leaving me to wonder why
Each time I
Untangle my self
Arrested construct born to tell
These unspeakable terms that i founded
Come real me in
Please turn me down
Unwind the gage of my though
For i've sought to dampen its sound
As I lean to dismiss what its noise drives to pronounce
Passing the time
Sat beside
A Static haze from wherein lies
My clock that beats back and forth
The steady rhyme of the hours
Please turn me down
Please turn me down
Please turn me down
Around
And I wait and i stay and i play it again
Come real me in
With these tethers and lines
That you tangled me up in
I was draping over cause
And now I'm lost and you cant save me
From my self
Will i live long
Will i sing this song
To you as I
Slip away into the beyond
Take my hand and run
Run away for so long
My love
Who waits in the shadows of grief
Churning waves
And burning relief
I can't see
I can't play the game
-
That you made
-
I am estranged to life
Oh my mind
Entangled me down the line
And now i practice every night
Singing to you from beyond
The common threads of my life sing the song
Tangled up I'm insane
Common threads pull me away
Tangled up I'm insane
Break these chains away
Tangled up I'm insane
In common threads of my name
And the world will live
In better light that i could try
And your face
Brings me to the last time
I will ever sit alone and wait for you again
No unknown smiles
Will bring me down the ropes
And the lovers will climb the only sake
Oh the dawn of better days is shining bright between the signs
My life has lived ... So long
To retract
And in common threads
I react
...cold and alone
