route i took
08:34
|
|||
we're hiking deep water.
we're all covered up.
screaming hearts out.
face down in the rough.
plant the right hooks & wait for them to blossom.
preparing the way the fall we'll try to soften.
it's just the route i took.
why don't you take a look.
read the open book.
your heart is being shook.
i pull back the whispers.
but the windows a fall.
we climb out the pit.
but at sunrise we fall.
we brave the weather.
to find a circuit breaker.
the light we trip on's a foundation shaker.
it's just the route i took.
why don't you take a look.
read the open book.
your heart is being shook.
the rain it washed away our selfharm.
awoke the wounded sailor.
who set of the alarm?
it'll martyre the first or last.
but when it's sunday morning.
head down begin the task.
it's just the route i took.
why don't you take a look.
read the open book.
your heart is being shook.
you'll drink it all up.
and eat away your crazies.
i'll sit and write reams of unused pages.
spend your life sighing.
questioning if he's dead.
say's too much yet leaves it all unsaid.
it's just the route i took.
why don't you take a look.
read the open book.
your heart is being shook.
i'll drive around for hours.
bleed through my pen.
let the rats run upstairs.
round and back again.
three blind days a recipe to read.
the stove is burning yet the carving knife's freed.
it's just the route i took.
why don't you take a look.
read the open book.
your heart is being shook
.
slowly weave this tapestry of time.
peace by piece a picture foms in our mind.
by the time we awake we can't get back.
the birds have eaten all our breadcrumb tracks.
it's just the route i took.
why don't you take a look.
read the open book.
your heart is being shook.
it's just the route i took.
it's just the route i took.

a boxer. a loner. i'm fighting for truth
dreaming of losing another loose tooth
shadow boxing. it's just shadow fighting.
she's like lightening. you'll find it quite frightening.
well keep tightening. become mighty & sing.
who's the king? gotta shout to win.
who care's about the dead?
when it's all passed over
& conclusions are met.
who care's about the dead?
when it's all passed over
& conclusions are met.
tear through this crazy forest.
back to where we started.
face the demons screaming
through the lakes. more dreaming.
were screaming. head down. come on.
keep fighting forever. gotta stay strong.
the devils on our trail. as they drive another nail.
torn apart by powers unknown.
walking lost away from our thrones.
one thing i know is we've gotta keep going.
who care's about the dead?
when it's all passed over
& conclusions are met.
who care's about the dead?
when it's all passed over
& conclusions are met.

the brink
03:48
|

i think things i don't wanna think
im sinking and i don't wanna sink
pushed to the brink
im pushed to the brink
im doing things i don't wanna do
who? who? who? who?
were sinking to the bottom
this weight pulls us down
were sinking to the bottom
this weight pulls us down
well bring this joy back
put it in your sights
this light burns
but at least it's a light
who? who? who? who?
she heard it all
what we had to say
it's not her fault
that we have to pray
this light burns
but at least it's a light
head down now
we've got to fight
who? who? who? who?

snakes & ladders
03:09
|

it's just snakes & ladders.
pythons & adders.
& some old elevation too.
rising up just to break us down
no longer gonna be a clown.
well hubble bubble boil & trouble
shave off stubble
& burst this bubble.
this damn spot it won't come clean
scream out loud
if you know what i mean.
the brothers heather.
they pushed me to the end of my tether.
i gotta sever & create my own soul winning force.
fish in the water.
Gods golden morse.
yeah, where the devil hides
in other peoples deeds.
yet he's inside just waiting to retrieve.
it's just snakes & ladders.
pythons & adders.
& some old elevation too.
no friends to help me.
some cowardice piss
& let me die.
im sick of this shit.
you make out a fool out of me,
im gonna punch you straight back.
sedition was started by this kid way back.
you better believe it.
you better believe it's constant.
it's damn right blatant,
yeah it's blatant.
steal my thunder gonna be your blunder.
the devil hides
in other peoples deeds
& he's inside
just waiting to retrieve
& when you think it's over
he'll be back it aint a lie for some
it's damn straight fact
rung after rung
it's just begun.
faiths great defender.
tired of biting my tongue
been doing it ever since i was young
so tired of biting my tongue.
it's just snakes & ladders.
pythons & adders.
& some old elevation too.

judgemental hoodoo
06:52
|
|||
you see her standing there
your thinking that she don't care
you can't see through the wrong
to much in your mind going on
it's just judgemental hoodoo
knocked out for six
tell me what would you do?
if she had her way would you lie still
or run to lift this void you must fill
you'll hear 'em say well he can't be satisfied
i too was young when i knelt down to cry
it's just judgemental hoodoo
knocked out for six
tell me what would you do?
see i believed in the stories told
& i still do walking these corridors cold
break through for the sinners
yes we all fall short
hammer through the time piece
the ropes pulled taught
it's just judgemental hoodoo
knocked out for six
tell me what would you do?
put the counter back to zero
& feel that burn
time is short we've gotta live
this lesson to be learnt
put the counter back to zero
& feel that burn
time is short we've gotta live
this lesson to be learnt
it's just judgemental hoodoo
knocked out for six
tell me what would you do?
in the distance a faint scream is heard
through the frosted jigsaw mist
it sounds absurd
reminded years later of your plight
whitewashed remorse
in bitter hindsight
it's just judgemental hoodoo
knocked out for six
tell me what would you do?

easy rider
03:12
|

its a nasty trick or treat but i gotta play this cat race
free to lose but i gotta find the right place
now i'm back on the scene i kick the sounds to your taste
tested & deactivated but i need a taste to get back on form
for a while i was so forlorn
so give me a smile baby make me laugh lady
i thank god that your my baby but it's crazy but lately
everything around me just a changing and fading it's all rearranging
i was trapped in a beam of light when i gave up the fight
walking on a tightrope and the tightropes too tight
it's time to take flight out of this plight
it ain't right i think i've finally found sight
heard a noise in the darkness i walked right towards it
would you believe it all most fell right over it
i bang my head but when my head came too
bouncing over mountains like a kangaroo
and i jump ship quick out of this shit
and i came on running back to you
hey baby i know i'm going crazy lately
pretty soon i'll be an easy rider
i know hey baby i know i'm going crazy lately
pretty soon i'll be an easy rider
it's a modern day consolation prize?
well no it's a couple thousand years of pride
c'mon my brother no more lies
stop being so irrespective with your eyes
why do they shame us it don't seem senseless
damn right we were on the defensive
but fuck it man were only humanly tempted
think about it hard it makes us exempted
it's a fabricated steal or we make the nightmare real
keep on walking further gotta make make the real deal
heard a noise in the darkness i walked right towards it
would you believe it all most fell right over it
i bang my head but when my head came too
bouncing over mountains like a kangaroo
and i jump ship quick out of this shit
and i came on running back to you
hey baby i know i'm going crazy lately
pretty soon i'll be an easy rider
i know hey baby i know i'm going crazy lately
pretty soon i'll be an easy rider

wondering
04:52
|
|||
i got annihilated last night
if anyone had pushed me
i'd have got into a fist fight
i drunk to forget you
& all the heartless things
you make me do
& i just keep wandering
just keep wondering
trapped between where we hear & what we speak
all these words
clamour & echo
the longer it grows
try to make your amends
but it's been so long
i just can't comprehend
stop to try & befriend a duck
for a while i think
i might of fucked up
but i'm nothing i'm just me
so it flew away & just let me be
so i just keep wandering
just keep wondering
had to stop
to try and retrace my steps
i didn't want to get caught in your nets
dipped my toes into frogspawn
flew the superman kite
if we are what we will
then she just might
& i just keep on wondering
just keep on wondering
