Idle hands. You don't understand that this stasis will eat you up
the world is your oyster but your shell is getting thin
and you give in to sin again
between fuzzy lines.
wasting time doing nothing but fuckin' up
give me a sign let me know this time that your out there
sever the ties with a blade and the cross that you bear
it's a game of chance. a lucky second chance and a tide
to take you away from here
float on your own
so far from a home, a place - you've never been and never will be
give me a sign let me know this time that your out there
sever the ties with a blade and the cross that you bear

You can light up the room with the sparks in your eyes
and put up with my wasted alibis
and far across the world with cuts on my hand
holding on to things that i don't understand
and you've got a heart that just won't quit
and I've got a head so full of shit
spending all my time at the bottom of the cup
all the precious time that I could have spent with you
Southern city saturdays
bicycle girls and drunks on the pier
southern city sunday departure
i can hear your heart beatin' from here
southern california sunshine
and darkness is all around
mother of all those children
don't let this world break you down
hey brother I know what your thinkin'
cause I was thinkin' the same thing too
you know the mind moves so slow in the sunshine
but not to slow for me and you
(inject fuzzy indulgent guitar lead here)

Golden Eights

Do our minds get us through?
lord knows what they can do
drag me along the river bank
and take what you want if there's anything left to take
like an old feline it will find its way back to me
I got lost in your golden eights
and once there was life is now just an empty nest
the pithy pines and emptiness
I laid some orchids on the ground
it's all I could think to do for you
and dirty little secrets they just hang in the air
do you sense apprehension?
do you even care?
Jaded and lazy you just hide from the rain
is yesterday with you or is everything still just the same?
like an old feline it will find its way back to me
I got lost in your golden eights
and once there was life is now just an empty nest
the pithy pines and emptiness

Sparrows

I settle in this water like your last night
an owl in the desert so alone
a sparrow on the rooftop
can you see my eyes are open at night now?
and I've gotten good at pushing things away
and withering away
a beautiful stone unturned
some heavy ashes in the urn
feeling so high and so low at the same time
did your body depart before your soul?
tomorrow meant something to me
it's a shame you couldn't see something too
and i don't want regrets well i just wanna hear you say that it's ok
but if I'm a blown a speaker then you can't hear the sparrows anymore
nd I've gotten good at pushing things away
and withering away
a beautiful stone unturned
some heavy ashes in the urn
feeling so high and so low at the same time
did your body depart before your soul?

Why do you from the places that scare you?
and run to the people that snare you into feeling safe
and you run from the love right under your nose
and sleep on the pillows that I bought for you
and you know that uncertain feeling
when life and sleep forget about you
emptied hearts and broken cages misread lines and misspent youth
silenced by silence
cut off from you
silenced by silence
a world away from you
you were the crow that landed on my face and left these lines
just open that bottle baby and share some more of your lies
there's frost on the windows come out and play
do you hate yourself or did new york just make you that way?
and you know that uncertain feeling
when life and sleep forget about you
emptied hearts and broken cages misread lines and misspent youth
silenced by silence
cut off from you
silenced by silence
a world away from you

How is the view from the bottom of the well?
do ya feel the ache in your bones when the winter swells?
we are the last of a dying breed
we're just what's left of the demon seed
poison tongues and sugar coats
are you the captain of a sinkin' ship?
just take your mask off baby and let your body float
we are the last of a dying breed
we're just what's left of the demon seed
poison tongues and sugar coats

Foreign Rooms
04:56
|

|
It's a mellow kind of day
when cares just slip away for a while
the sirens on aurora sing
forget about petty things
the vibrance of your youth
is still there pretty girl
but you won't get directions on maps or signs no where
and if it's the stars you crave you can just take it to the grave
in foreign rooms and in foreign places
unknown to you
and sometimes the floor is the ceiling it's just a point of view
it's a lovers type of dread
it will send you to the floor just reachin'
and it's somewhat taboo
doing things you know you shouldn't do
in foreign rooms and in foreign places
unknown to you
and sometimes the floor is the ceiling it's just a point of view
