Oblivion (album version)
04:28
|
|||
On one hand I’ve got my way
And on the other one who’s to say
One side breathing no stress
And on the other side it’s anybody’s guess
Give me one more shot of ambivalence
before I hit the road
Give me one last sniff of my innocence
I hold tight to save the one
Fade the other to oblivion
Keep my eyes locked on you, no doubt
One life through the door, the other out
It’s shaking me back to front and sideways
I bounce back rattled, eyes glazed
Keep your words short so I don’t confuse myself
I hear the bell but I don’t wanna to get up
Don’t wanna get up
Give me one more shot of ambivalence
before I hit the road
Give me one last sniff of my innocence
I hold tight to save the one
Fade the other to oblivion
Keep my eyes locked on you, no doubt
One life through the door, the other out
Get up off the fence and don’t look back

I'm Telling Everyone
03:43
|
|||
You play, I watch
Your way, your rules
Say when, I’ll stop
Your class, your school
Wait a minute, let me run out, quick
And get a clean sheet of paper
I wanna write down every little detail
Down to the last one
Ask every question
Bring an apple
Paying up my past due attention
Preach your blood and thunder
Til the day is done, I wonder
how I’ve waited this long
I’m telling everyone I was wrong
Say jump, how high
You steer, I row
Old lies, warm gun
Bleed fast, die slow
Wait a minute, let me sit up, straight
My mind sharp like a laser
I wanna cram in every little detail
Down to the last one
Ask every question
Close the window, draw the curtains,
Shut the door
Take every little bit of you in
Preach your blood and thunder
Sink my ship and take me under
Make me shout out your song
I’m telling everyone I was wrong
Preach your blood and thunder
Til the day is done, I wonder
how I’ve waited this long
I’m telling everyone I was wrong
Listen three times
Always think twice
Only speak once
Play nice
Your way, your rules
Listen three times
Always think twice
Only speak once
Play nice
Your class, your school
Your class, your school
Preach your blood and thunder
Sink my ship and take me under
Make me shout out your song
I’m telling everyone I was wrong
Preach your blood and thunder
Til the day is done, I wonder
how I’ve waited this long
I’m telling everyone I was wrong
Preach your blood and thunder
Sink my ship and take me under
Make me shout out your song
I’m telling everyone I was wrong

Natalia
02:27
|
|||
Storm in a cup
Turbulent winds
My love is drowning
Her tail in a spin
Fears for the worst
Secretly hopes for the best
Can’t seem to ever remember my dreams
Disjointed deductions in search of a theme
Notebook still blank
Only one thought echoes on…
Natalia still on my mind
Natalia still on my mind
Never say never
says voice in my head
Timing is everything
Just like she said
Breath on my nape
Both drifting into a dream
Natalia still on my mind
Natalia still on my mind

Five Days A Week
03:32
|
|||
Right out of a dream
Reality screams
Hit the snooze and
get out of my head
Stumble out of bed
My day begins
Black water percolates
Sad news is spread across the kitchen table
My metal box awaits
to join the ant parade
I don’t want it
Five days a week
You can have it
I need my sleep, sleep
Get back home and let the tube tuck you in
And start over again
Why hurry up and wait
Line up and you’ll be late
The same as always
Dark cubicle awaits
Bright screen radiates
You’re automated
Four hours til lunch
Framed photos in bunch
Will keep you going
But ain’t nothing going on
But the rent you spent
The rent you spent
I don’t want it
Five days a week
You can have it
I need my sleep, sleep
Get back home and let the tube tuck you in
And start over again
I don’t want it
Five days a week
You can have it
I need my sleep, sleep
Get back home and let the tube tuck you in
And start over again
Start over again
Five days a week
Join in the ant parade
Join in the ant parade
Join in the ant parade
Join in the ant parade
Join in the ant parade
Join in the ant parade
I don’t want it
Five days a week
You can have it
I need my sleep, sleep
Get back home and let the tube tuck you in
And start over again
I don’t want it
Five days a week
You can have it
I need my sleep, sleep
Get back home and let the tube tuck you in
And start over again

In Winter
03:40
|
|||
Another week goes by
Twenty-one down, but who’s counting anyway
Ever since that day in Spring
When she’s altered my dreams
I’m aimless
In winter, everything changes
Another week goes by
Twenty-nine down, and she’s kicking everyday
Summer’s melted into Fall
And she sleeps through it all
I’m breathless
In winter
I’ve got promises to keep
And the late bloom made them pile up
Tall and deep
Selfless forest
Parched, in splinters
Cries in chorus, ageless
In winter, everything changes
In winter
