Hello Mary Hello Nothing

I've been gone long time now
Flirting with disaster in my own quiet way
Nothing here could matter without might
But it's only just a might
Even for a loner I'm still warm
The bodies safe but I'm losing my mind
You've been hearing nothing but lies
And they're the only thing that's right
Hello Mary Hello Nothing
Sing me back you goodness back into the night
Hello Wonder could you ever?
Untouched, waltz into my life again
I've been wondering how I could find
A place in life that I could stand and try
To make it a little better for a while
A truth from out the lie
Hello Mary Hello Nothing
Sing me back you goodness back into my life
Hello Wonder will You ever?
I lost the ticket but I'm ready for the ride
Hello Darling Ancient After
Wish you saw me when the light was in my eyes
Hello Buried Sweet Believer
Could you dance back into my line of sight?

Room To Give

I've failed you again
Nothing less than all the way
Trying to catch the same old thing with a different indifference
These songs don't mean a thing if I can't read the words I've writ
So I'll sing myself a stowaway since it's driving you insane
Are you insane?
Are you insane?
Are you insane?
Are you insane?
Here I sit in my bones with nothing planned and nothing on
I'm not sure who I could figure out to be anymore
Now I've crossed that old road; it was there I slit my throat
Don't get me wrong about playing for you, but nothings only got so much room to give
Nothings on again
Nothings wrong
And nothings on
Again

Cheap Grin
03:00
|

|
No one can read the room
And all of these boring chores need a little dance
A reason that can't be heard
A distraction from the tension frail
Some lapse in manners to send some release
Some charming moron to arrive to a cheap grin
Pretty funny
Where have they been searching?
Where I already been
Be but to sleep and feed, just don't ask to lead.
Now there's a new dilema
Cut short to view the prisms
Can't see the spectrums limits
Not that I'd know what you're feeling...
Some lapse in manners to send some release
Some charming moron to arrive to a cheap grin

Trace the feeling back to losing it
Watch the scene unfold and fly off into you
Through that valley you've been walking to night to night
Lit by the ones that spared a word to guide
With the volume down to the spindal and the tape
Hear a window into mood that gets you through
Past the tests for reflexes
Past the failure to fight back
I never knew where it was that it flew proper
Nestled in the central nervous stream and seas
I always rested in the sounds of those guys
They'd take me to valleys of a more true life

Licks And Dues
02:00
|
|||
|
Just wait it out
Five days or so to set the clock
Then take the view for granted
Let the veins and streets feel the blood
Take your licks and dues and don't give up
Count up the bucks
Ten years or so to give a fuck
Then take the new advantages
But never forget the pain you won
Never forget the truth you shunned
Cause then it's done...

It's Not Too Late
03:01
|

The silver lining firmament will never fade
The comfort of those whirling notes come after me
Become what I need
When I feel what I feel it's not too late
You'd likely take the steps away that interfere
If you didn't love them oh so much
Those small one off vices
Those long lost devices that bring it back to fire
To give what I desire
It's not too late
Through you I could forget the whole thing
And it wouldn't be a curse but a cure
But just now Love I feel there's something left to say
Though I wouldn't be the first to know it
The corner keeps on bending as I quicken pace
The level keeps on spinning round
Takes all of me
Takes what I feel
And brings it back to see that I won't be free if I can't release
I won't be free if I cannot see it's not too late
