Dopo Parting Ways
c'è una ghost track chiamata "writer's block" in cui si sente
per alcuni secondi solo il rumore di una macchina da scrivere
BREAKERFALL
There's a girl on a ledge
She got nowhere to turn
Cause all the love that she had
Was just wood that she burned
Now her life is on fire
It's no ones concern
She can blame the world...or pray til dawn
But only love...can breakerfall
Breakerfall...
Only love...can breakerfall
Fall… It's like she lost her invitation to the party on earth
And she 's standing outside hating everyone here
And she 's her own disease, crying to her doll
But only love...can breakerfall
Brekerfall...
Only love can breakerfall
Fall… Breakerfall...
Love...oh…oh…Can breakerfallOnly love...can breakerfall
Love...can breakerfall
Can breakerfall
Only love
Can breaker…
GOD’S
DICE
It's out of my hands,
making your hands meet
Stumble as it's crumbling out of reach
It's in the cards of destiny, your sanity in tow
Designate, my luck
Resignate...
This power has no roots to guide, no rule
Trust me, rusted minds refuse to go
Unwillingness it's meaningless to walk away the pain
Designate my will
I designate my fill
Resignate...
My love is crashin' synapses flashin' slow
Days like framed by frame where they go
Oh yeah why fight, forget it
Can't I spend it after I go
Roll them high...
Throw them again...
All God's dice...
Monkey driven, call this living, ha ha ha
Oh too much thought is overwrought a hole
Got minding yours what's mine not yours
Will finish us off
I designate my life
Oh designate my view
I designate my will…my will…my will…I will
Resignate my god
EVACUATION
The sirens scream wanton attention...
Time to take heed and change direction...
Bound to take stock and make omissions...
Evacuation... evacuation...
Time to take leave of formal functions...
Time to plant seeds of a reconstruction
No time this time to feign reluctance...
It's like you're waiting for a diamond shore to wash your way
Bets put aside you’re evil...let's crawl into your face A vision, vague or
not, raising a frightful wake you up
Time for...
Evacuation [x6)
There was a solemn man who watched his twilight disappear…[in the sand)Altered
by a fallen eagle, a warning sign…[sign)He sensed worry could be strength
With a plan said time for...
Evacuation [x12)
LIGHT YEARS
I've used hammers made out of wood
I have played games with pieces and rules
I've deciphered tricks at the bar...
But now you're gone...I haven't figured out why
I've come up with riddles and jokes about war
I figure out numbers and what they're for
I've understood feelings...and I've understood words
But how could you be taken away?
And wherever you've gone...and wherever we might go
It don't seem fair...today just disappeared
Your lights reflected now...reflected from afar
We were but stones...your light made us stars
With heavy breath, awakened regrets
Back pages and days alone that could have been spent
Together...but we were...miles apart
Every inch between us becomes light years now
No time to be void or save up on life
Oh, you got to spend it all...
And wherever you've gone...and wherever we might go
It don't seem fair...you seemed to like it here
Your lights reflected now...reflected from afar
We were but stones...your light made us stars
And wherever you've gone...and wherever we might go
It don't seem fair...today just disappeared
Your lights reflected now...reflected from afar
We were but stones...your light made us stars
NOTHING AS IT SEEMS
Don't feel like home...
He's a little out...
And all these words elope...
Is nothing like your poem...
Putting in...inputting in...
Don't feel like methadone...
A scratching voice all alone...
Is nothing like your baritone...
It's nothing as it seems
The little that he needs...it's home
The little that he sees
Is nothing he concedes...it's home
One uninvited chromosome…A blanket like the ozone… It's nothing as it
seems
All that he needs it's home
The little that he frees
Is nothing he believes
Saving up a sunny day
Something maybe two-tone
Anything of his own
A chip off the cornerstone
Who's kidding rainy day
A one way ticket headstone
Occupations overthrown
A whisper through a megaphone
It's nothing as it seems
The little that he needs...it's home
The little that he sees
Is nothing he concedes...it's home
And all that he frees
A little bittersweet...it's home
It's nothing as it seems
The little that you see...it's home
THIN AIR
There's a light...when my baby is in my arms...
There's a light...when the window shades are drawn...
Hesitate...when I feel I may do harm to her...
Wash it off...cause this feeling we can share...
And I know she's reached my heart...in thin air
Byzantine...is reflected in our pond...
There's a cloud...but the water remains calm...
Reaching in...the sun's fingers clutch the dawn to pass...
Even out... it's a precious thing to bear...
And I know she's reached my heart...in thin air
Yes I know she's reached my heart...in thin air
It's not in my past to presume...
Love can keep on moving in both directions...
How to happy and true...
Is the quest we're taking on together...
Taking on...on...on...on...on
Taking on...on...on...on...on
There's a light...when my baby is my arms...
And I know she's reached my heart...in thin air
And I know she's reached my heart...in thin air
And I know she's reached my heart...in thin air
Yes I know she's reached my heart...
INSIGNIFICANCE
All in all...it's no one's fault...
Excuses turn to carbon walls...
Blame it on chemical intercourse
The swallowed seeds of arrogance...
Breeding in the thoughts of ten ...
Thousand fools who fight irrelevance
The full moon is dead skin...
The one down here's wearing thin...
To set up...the ten pins
As the human tide rolls in...
Like a ball that's spinning...
Bombs...dropping down...
Overhead...underground...
It's instilled...to wanna live
Bombs...dropping down...
Please forgive our hometown...
In our insignificance
Turn the juke box up he said...
Dancing in irreverance...
Play c3...let the song protest
The plates begin to shift...
Perfect lefts come rolling in...
I was alone and far away...hey..
When I heard the band start playing...
On the lip...late take off
Bombs...dropping down...
Overhead...underground...
It's instilled...to wanna live
Bombs...dropping down...
Please forgive our hometown...
In our insignificance
Feel like resonance of distance...
In the blood...the iron lies
It's instilled...to wanna live
Bombs...dropping down...
Please forgive our hometown...
In our insignificance
Oh...in our insignificance
OF THE GIRL
Oh he deals 'em off...off the top...ties 'em off...
Fills it up...with his past...gets carried away...
Oh half his life...a hand me down...wasted away...
Of he fills it up...with the love...of a girl.
Oh...he left it alone...drilled the pain...with money to buy
How he makes his getaway...
How he makes his getaway...
Oh...he chose a path...heavy the fall...quarter to four...
Fills his night...with the thought...of a girl
How he makes his getaway...
How he makes his getaway...
How he makes his getaway...
Getaway....
GRIEVANCE
Have a drink they're buying...
Bottom of, bottle of denial...
Big guy...big eye watchin' me...
Have to wonder what it sees...
Progress laced with ramifications...
Freedom's being plunged...
Pull the innocent from a crowd...
Raise the stakes then bring 'em down...
If they fail to obey...
If they fail to obey...
For every tool they lend us...
A loss of independence
I pledge my grievance to the flag...
Cause you don't give blood...then take it back again...
We're all deserving something more.
Progress...taste it...invest it all
Champagne breakfast for everyone...
Break the innocent when they're proud...
Raise the stakes...then bring 'em down...
If they fail to obey...
If they fail to obey...
Pledge our grievance to the flag...
Don't give blood then take it back again...
We're all deserving
something more, more
[Have a, have a, drink, drink...)
[Have a, have a, drink, drink...)
I wanna be... part of the scene...
I wanna taste...everyone I see...
I wanna run, when I'm up high...
I wanna ride into the sea....
I would like to be...
I just wanna be...
I will feel alive...as long as I am free
RIVAL
All my rivals will see what I have in store...my gun...
I've been har boring fleets in this resevoir...red sun...
And this nations about to explode...
Your disciples are riddled with metaphors…well hung...Better pony up and
bring both your barrelfulls...not one...
As we release this unspeakable toll...
How's our mother to damn these contributors...with mud?...
How will the man who made chemicals difficult...shed blood?
How's our father supposed to be told?
SLEIGHT OF HAND
Routine was the theme
He’d wake up...wash and pour himself in uniformSomething he hadn't
imagined being...
As the merging traffic passed...
He found himself starin'...down...at his own...hands
Not remembering the change...not recalling the plan...
Was it?
He was okay...but wondering...about wandering...
Was it age...by consequence
Or was he moved by sleight of hand
Mondays were made to fall...
Lost on a road he knew by heart...
It was like a book he read in his sleep...endlessly...
Sometimes he hid in his radio...watchin' others pull into their homes
While he was driftin’...
On a line...of his own...off the line...on the side...bye the by
As dirt turned to sand...
As if moved by sleight of hand...
When he reached the shore of his...clip on world...
He resurfaced to the morn...
Organized his few things...his coat and keys...
Any new realizations would have to wait...
Till he had more time...more time
Time to dream...to himself
He waves goodbye...to himself
I'll see you on the other side...
Another man...moved by sleight of hand
SOON FORGET
Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette...
Thinks he'll get the girl, he'll only get the mechanic...
What's missing?...he's living a day he'll soon forget.
That's one more time around...the sun is going down...
The moon is out, but he's drunk and shouting...putting people down...
He's pissing...he's living...a day he'll soon forget.
Counts his money every morning...
The only thing that keeps him horny...
Locked in a giant house...that's alarming
The townsfolk...they all laugh
Sorry is the fool who trades his love for a hi-rise rent...
Seems the more you make equals the loneliness you get...
And it's fitting...he's barely living...a day he'll soon forget.
That's one more time around...and there is not a sound...
He's lying dead, clutching Benjamins...never put the money down...
He's stiffening...we're all whistling...
A man we'll soon forget.
PARTING WAYS
Behind her eyes there's curtains...
And they've been closed to hide the flames...remains
She knows...their futures burning...
But she can smile just the same...same
And though her mood fine today...
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways...
Standing like a statue...
A chin of stone...a heart of clay...hey...
And though he's too big a man to say...
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways...
Drifting away...Drifting away...Drifting away...
Drifting away...Drifting away...Drifting away...
