Track Name: Planets
awake on a bed of nails / I’ve been dreaming of the days I could still dream of you / before the lightning came / before the thunder in my brain started playing these tricks on me / you know my voice could not compete with the sounds coming out my mouth / at least you kept yourself straight / for long enough not to fall apart / ‘til your hair’s growing grey / waiting here for a reckoning / one day when the planets realign / clouds will form into liquid skies of rain / we’ll be there with our open arms waiting / I always thought one day / we’d grow out of these clothes / yeah man we will change ourselves / but now when we speak / our convictions run less deep / and I could be torn either way / you know our voice cannot compete with the sounds coming out of our mouths / at least you kept yourself straight / I watched you nod along to the break of dawn / now your hair’s getting grey / waiting here for a reckoning / one day when the planets realign / clouds will form into liquid skies of rain / we’ll be there with our open arms waiting / so wait and wait and wait / one day you’ll earn a little honest grave / talk to me / talk me to sleep / one day when the planets realign / clouds will form into liquid skies of rain / we’ll be there with our open arms waiting / we’ll be there with our mouths inside of everyone
Track Name: Biding Time
you and me and the miserable three are sitting in the back / a cynic quip / we’ll talk about jack / now someone’s gonna ask / “what have you been up to?” / me, I’m biding my time in a soul sucking mine / that’s what I do now / I count my days and I count them down / that’s what I do / that’s what I do now / I saw you in a marching guard / waving at the crowd / and I’m sure you made some people proud / who will never call you out to say / “what have you been up to?” / me, I’m biding my time in a soul sucking mine / that’s what I do now / I count my days and I count them down / that’s what I do, that’s what I do now / I keep my head in my hands / and my hope in the ground / my heart’s in a place where it won’t be found / find something you enjoy that won’t destroy / your savage heart / your center / the thread that holds you together / if you find someone you adore / who will ignore / every flash and pang of anger / let them smile as it festers on / I’m heading out a year or so / that’s what I say now / I see your face I might look away / that’s what I do now / I keep my head in my hands and my hope in the ground / my heart in a place where it won’t be found /
Track Name: Hold On
tonight I don’t want to relax/ don’t want to drown in your chill chilled bath / just hold on / and later on / maybe an hour or so / we can get out of these clothes / we’re gonna be bored for a while now / you can’t change that / no you’ll never change that / the truth was always black / no you can’t change that / hold on / tonight just hold my hand / and I will understand if that’s all that we’re talking / I was never your man / you can’t change that / you’ll never change that / the truth was always black / no you can’t change that / all this talk of consequence / you know it never enters my mind / it won’t matter ‘til I die / now you’re talking of leaving me / you know it hurts because I don’t care / I’m just amused by it / you’ll come back I’m sure of that / you can’t change that / you’ll never change that / the truth was always black / you can’t change that / with your open arms / and those dire words / its just a little bit absurd / please hold on
Track Name: Anhedonia
the record spins you hear a little black soul / the ceiling bends and twists above the hole / that you’ve been sitting in for years / talking to the mirror / go on let that soul song sing what you already know / your time has been rotting in the air / it blew in from a place we’ll call nowhere / the sun won’t answer to the breeze / and you’ve long lost the keys / that would of led your little life anywhere than here / now pull yourself up lazy / hold your head up lazy / water runs underneath our door / down the hall and towards your funeral / the sun won’t dry this awful creek / its been rising here for weeks / and one day it will go over our shoulders / so now pull yourself up, lazy / hold your head up, lazy / it sounds so simple now / now that you say it loud / pull yourself up, lazy / hold your head up, lazy
Track Name: Heading home
outside / in the pale night / a dead light shines on your face / in this place / I once long to chase / dangerous shapes in the dark / and now I’m heading home / still alone, unknown in my time / the air if it feels down weighted / there is not / there is no / there is only a white glow / gonna have to wait for it / wait for the bells to ring out your name /you have to wait for the weather to change / behind the wooden door / in the void corridor you cry / chin to your shaking knees / your whimpering pleas to the dust / now I’m heading home / still unknown alone in my time/ inside / our warm home / we’re not alone with our wine / pass the time /searching for a ghost / in the shadows and old floorboards / now I’m heading home / to die unknown / to die alone / the air if it feels down-weighted / David / just stand there waiting / for a glow / how will it feel / to never care or despair / to float as embers from a blue flame / to roll as rivers and fall hard like rain / and rise as mountains / and pull down like waves / to be the air that slowly escapes / through a crack in the world / and I’m not dead yet / but we’ll all be there soon
Track Name: Near Dark
fall asleep / in the king’s den / smashed on opium / and bathtub gin / I feel you crawl under my skin / I awake / face drawn and scarred / sack the bedroom / loot the courtyard / still, I wonder where you are / under moonlight skies / the night opens wide / and I briefly see your face/ in another life / you’d be my wife / and we would wait out our days / in a dirty room a coward takes my place / only my love / could ever bring you shame / all our bedsheets are burned away in flames / and you would never say my name / hear the jackals laughing on the roof / I’m damned me in shackles without an inch of proof / but you will always know the truth / I know your ruse/ from a window I feel / into the jaws of hell/ and I swear I saw your face / in another life / you’d be my wife / and we would wait out our days / my only safe place / I will find you / and you will remember my name
Track Name: False Horizons
when the false horizons / have finally fallen down / will we walk no longer / towards mountains in the clouds / just wait / for a new day made by faith in another / just go on/ and fall / and when you’ve finally found / your safe place your firm ground / will you talk no longer / about leaving this old town / and just say / this is a new day made by faith in another / just go on / and fall /
Track Name: Going the Hemingway
you never had it / the firm ground the planet / when you left it was tragic / some days I can’t stand it / when they race for atlantis / come back empty handed / and claim that what happens / was meant to of happened / but I know that you tried / to live a life uncontrived / and in moments of light / you found your infinite sight / its not enough to know / the limits of your lonely soul / and how will I withstand / everything you couldn’t stand / I thought I’d find it / the right kind of madness / I will follow my habits / ‘til I’m raging and rabid / howling I’ve been betrayed / by the way I was made / and I’ll never be saved / but maybe I can change / if I just learn to accept / there is less than you expected / and oh if something this way grows / its not enough to know / the limits of your lonely soul / and how will I withstand / everything you couldn’t stand / and all of the ones who couldn’t wait/ you said we might get bored / try to stay awake / I know that was before / before you went away / but I don’t mind / how can I blame you / I read every word / it tore me to shreds / I’ll try to remember / but sometimes I forget / this is air / this is air / this is air that I’m breathing / this is air that I’ll be leaving / all of the ones who couldn’t wait / all of the weight that they couldn’t take / all my heroes went the hemingway / I’m not ready to do the same / I’m gonna go outside and plant my face / and oh if something this way grows
