Eat Your Seeds

I've got to tell you something
Perhaps it's true
All the things that brought you here
weren't meant for you
I've got to tell you something
I feel so new
When you learn to close your mind they won't get through
And it starts with surprise
When the nihilist speaks, his poor mother just cries
From theories on theories, and lies about lies
to the tune of a scene watched by thousands of eyes
At first I was silent, then anxious as hell
but only indifference, it knows me too well
that all of the things that I held to be true
are just held in place by the people like you
Eat your seeds
I've got to tell you something
I swear it's true
Every time you take my hand
I feel blue
I've got to tell you something
I thought you knew
Every time you hold me close
I feel it too

(One)
I am sick and tired of all these incandescent people
Running up and down the halls until my eyes have turned to dust
(Down on you)
Visions of the common good elude me as I feel they should
and never asking why I feel the urge to run away
Out of sight and out of mind a vestige of the lower kind
Impress me with your fortitude I dare you to oblige

Of Truth and Disguise

Hello my love, how long has it been?
I fear I've lost my count
This day has left me here with you stuck on my mind
What counsel will I find?
(Of truth and disguise)
I'm up and I'm down
(No use for goodbyes)
And I'll see you around
x2
In moving on from that which I've held
I've found my place in hell
Forego your livelihood with unease and disdain
It's such a crying shame
(Of truth and disguise)
I'm up and I'm down
(No use for goodbyes)
And I'll see you around
x2
It's nights like these, my friend
feels like our time is at an end
But I can't let you go
Perhaps I'm better off below
(Of truth and disguise)
I'm up and I'm down
(No use for goodbyes)
And I'll see you around
x2

Dancing on My Grave
03:48
|
|||
|
Too often I presume inscriptions on my tomb
Will you remember me, or will I be forgotten?
I wipe your tears at night sweet sparkling ray of light
My life is in your hands, and you had best forget it
Lose another day,
lose another day,
lose another day,
dancing on my grave
I've seen this path before, so scared of wanting more
You think it's far too late, you'd better play along now
Is this what I receive for choosing still to breathe?
My existential dread has caught up to my ego
Lose another day,
lose another day,
lose another day,
dancing on my grave
Lose another day,
lose another day,
lose another day,
dancing on my grave
(I can see the colors on the wall, I can wear the shoe that fits you all)

Here and Now
04:03
|
|||
|
Where was your love, the other day,
but here and now?
My senses dulling as the sun sets,
so blind
There was a time when I could see
so far, so free
A restless mind with no intention
to sing
How I wish that you could stay
every moment, every day
Sometimes I'd like to cast you out
into the sun
When will I capture your potential?
Who knows?
I take a hit to wind me down
and here you stand
But come tomorrow you will vanish
once more
How I wish that you could stay
every moment, every day
For I have,
for I have so much to say
but you always
slip away,
slip away

What Can I Do?
01:31
|
|||
|
All that I know is all I can do
but no one I know is broken as you
All that I know is all I can do
but no one I know is broken as you
You try to explain that the world just keeps letting you down
You know I was there for you then, and I'm here for you now
I'll show you how
But all that I know is all I can do
but no one I know is broken as you
All that I know is all I can do
but no one I know is broken as you
Well maybe it's you, or maybe it's all in my head
Perhaps it's not fair, but you know I still care in the end
I'll be there in the end, my dearest friend
But all that I know is all I can do
but no one I know is broken as you
All that I know is all I can do
but no one I know is broken as you

In the Garden
03:36
|

|
There's a black stone in the garden
There's an old tree on the foothill
There's a purpose where my mind was
There's a grapevine through our eyelids
There's a cool breeze soaked in silence
In the mirror, no reflection
There's a starship in my cortex
There's a black hole on the sunset
I can fly you to the cosmos
Double vision, all directions
Dancing lightbeams, clouds of stardust
There's a question with no answer
There's a shadow in the corner
There's a lighthouse on the seafloor
Won't you tell me, am I safe here?
Like a dreamscape, I remember
blooming flowers where your eyes were
I could feel you looking through me

Dust
02:23
|
|||
|
Every day I try so hard to be a better man
I make myself presentable in any way I can
But everybody tells me I've got dust in my eyes
Counting every step I take to calm my shaky breath
Mistaken by some friend of mine as contemplating death
No matter what I do, no matter how I try
Everybody tells me I've got dust in my eyes
and everybody thinks that I've got something to hide
Everybody tells me I've got dust in my eyes
A different way to hold my face, a blessing and a curse
but when I look them in the eyes, it only feels worse
No matter if I live, no matter if I die
Everybody tells me I've got dust in my eyes
and everybody thinks that I've got something to hide
Everybody tells me I've got dust in my eyes

Circle of...?
05:08
|
|||
|
They'll call me a sinner
but I never cared for their rules in the first place
so what's it to you?
These songs are my shelter
I use them to build up these walls that I'll break down, someday,
but now's not the time
For now, I am broken
and in time I will pick up the pieces, but I'm so tired
and I'm so afraid
Afraid of tomorrow
and afraid of the things that you'll say when I break down, some time,
when I lose my mind
And this much I knew, but it had to be you
It had to be you
If life's so uncertain,
then why do we keep on circling on, and on, and on
(and on, and on)
x3
If life's so uncertain
then why do I keep on circling on, and on, and on
(and on, and on)
x2
If life's so uncertain
(on, and on, and on, and on, and on)

All Things In Time
03:22
|

|
I never thought that I would see your smile again
but I always wanted that for you
But you know,
that you'll never learn to live if you don't let go
of the things that you pretend you've always known
And I know the rainclouds will pretend to know your name
(they have no shame)
But it's only for a night or two
And you know,
that you'll never learn to live if you don't let go
of the things that you pretend you've always known
Living a simple life is harder than it sounds
(that's what I've found)
but nothing will take me away from you
And you know,
that you'll never learn to live if you don't let go
of the things that you pretend we've always known
