Spider
00:54
|

|
I once saw a spider's web heavy with dew
I thought "Why'd you build here? Man, if only you knew."
But maybe she did and it was all she could do
Knowing what catches the fly also catches the dew

I don't mean to lie
I just forget
Sometimes, some things
They ain't happened yet
And if we try
I know we met
Somewhere your sun was risin'
While mine set
Everybody feels it in the air
But sometimes it's really there
Honey, I swear
I didn't mean to be a stone
I just forgot
And made your waters rise
I'd apologize
But I know what you thought
And I'm sorry but
For that I'm not
Everybody feels it in the air
But sometimes it's really there
Honey, I swear
Everybody feels it in the air
I swear
Went down to the station
With that letter in your hand
And you don't even know
From where it came
I liked you better
When you didn't understand
That our world and the real world
Weren't the same
Everybody feels it in the air
But this time it's really there
Written on the back of a photograph
Wedged under a flap
In the bottom of an old brown box

Dear Sadness
02:45
|
|||
|
Dear sadness, I see you coming
From across the room
Now that I finally found a happy home
And I don't need them to know
How well I know you
You've had me everywhere
Can't I have anywhere of my own?
Dear sadness, I can see you creepin'
Trying to catch my eye
Now that I finally found a few new friends
And I can feel you coming up right behind me
To remind me
That every good thing must end
Dear sadness, you can go fuck yourself
I tried to leave you
I tried to change you
I tried to stay
But I just can't stay in every night
And lately it feels like
You ain't got nothin' new to say
Dear sadness, I kinda miss you
All my friends have gone home
And I'm all alone
And I'm 'bout to break
And I know you're just a thought away
But if I let you turn me on
Will you promise to be gone
Before I wake?

I don't mind the pulse of your rhythms, babe
But I can't step in time with them no more
There's folks that choose to die for a livin’, babe
I'm dyin’ to live for so much more
Be still my mind
And I'll have no relation to that prison, babe
I will come and go just as I please
There's folks that need to die to be risen, babe
There's folks that must be driven to their knees
Be still my mind
Be still my mind
With every beat of my heart
Let it go
Let it go, dear
Be still my mind
Let every end be a start
And let it go
Let it all fall apart
And I can't lose my voice and keep givin’, babe
I can't find the light if I can't see
And I would rather die than lose my vision, babe
You should have found someone who isn't me
Be still my mind
Be still my mind
With every beat of my heart
Let it go
Let it go, dear
Be still my mind
Let every end be a start
And let it go
Let it all fall apart

Man the Wheel

Man the Wheel
Is this a shadow of mine
Or am I a shadow of some design?
All I know is sometimes
It is there for me
And does it play like a score
Or am I a player in something more?
All I know is sometimes
It is there for me
Man the wheel
Of my heaven over my head
Wind the stars
And keep them spinning over my bed
I don’t know what we’ll find
But it’s fine
Cuz I know it’s there for me
Is this a battle cry
Or is it the tears from battle lines?
All I know is sometimes
It is there for me
Man the wheel
Of my heaven over my head
Wind the stars
And keep them spinning over my bed
I don’t know what we’ll find
But it’s fine
Cuz I know it’s there for me
How then can we
Ask for more
When we don’t even know
What what we have is for?
I don’t know
You don’t know
We don’t know nothin’ at all
I don’t know
You don’t know
We don’t know nothin’ at all
I don’t know
You don’t know
We don’t know nothin’ at all
Man the wheel
Of my heaven over my head
Wind the stars
And keep them spinning over my bed
I don’t know what we’ll find
But it’s fine
Cuz I know it’s there for me
Said I don’t know what we’ll find
But it’s fine
Cuz I know it’s there for me

Gentle Man
03:50
|
|||
|
Well, I do like to curse
But I didn't come here to fight
My father taught me there's
No wrong way to be right
As long as you're a man
And you keep God in your sight
You can fuck what you want
And come home every night
My mother said "Son,
You're a gentleman now
Watch what you say
And make the right people proud
And if you have any questions
Just don't have them out loud"
I didn't even earn it
It just happened somehow
I wanted to be
A gentle man
Gentle with my words
And gentle with my hands
Gentle with myself
When I don't meet my demands
But is there any such thing
As a gentle man?
And what the fuck is gentle
About being a man?
They take what they want
Or they’ll take what they can
And even if they don't want it
They'll take it right from your hand
That's why I've decided
I'll never be one again
Cuz there's really no such thing
As a gentle man
But what if the shadow
Is really the shade?
What if I think I'm right
But I'm only afraid
Oh, to look at the truth
And admit what I've made
And what if the shadow
Is really the shade?
I long for the light
Maybe I need a break
Maybe the thunder and the rain
They were not a mistake
And maybe the shadow
Is really the shade
And I can be
A gentle man

Us

Love
Is this only a fable?
Patterns drawn?
Lines in the sand?
Us
No cards on the table
Destiny?
Sleight of hand?
And
Do we give it a label
Or do we choose to understand
That we don't understand?
I am here I able
Be my woman
I'll be your man
Love
I'm a woman of action
Dive right in
And then decide
Us
Is this only a fraction
Of what's to come?
What's to divide?
And
Do we choose a reaction
Or do we choose to understand
That we don't understand?
I demand satisfaction
I'll Be Your woman
Be my man
You're a lightning rod
Oh my God
I'm exposed
I'm exposed
You're a kind regard
It's not so hard
Just to know
Just to know
And
Do we give it a label
Or do we choose to understand
That we don’t understand?
I am here I am able
Be my woman
I'll be your man
I’ll be your woman
Be my man

Gravity Is For Suckers
03:42

Pinned to the bottom of a world that isn't there
But you're pinned to the bottom of it
Pinned to the bottom of the world just isn't fair
But you're pinned to the bottom of it
At least you ain’t falling into space
Pinned to the bottom of it
So when you're falling on your face
At least you ain’t falling for it
Gravity
You don't fool me
You'd best leave me
Alone
I got no apple
On my forehead
I got your loophole
On the phone
And I have known
For quite some time
I deny
Pinned to the bottom of a world that isn't there
But you're pinned to the bottom of it
Pinned to the bottom of the world just isn't fair
But you're pinned to the bottom of it
At least I ain’t falling on my face
Pinned to the bottom of it
So when I'm falling into space
At least I ain’t falling for it
Gravity
You don't fool me
You'd best leave me
Alone
I got no apple
On my forehead
I got your loophole
On the phone
And I have known
For quite some time
I deny
Them monkeys
And Shakespeare
I jump and
I touch down every time
But in the
Last sentence
That monkey
Write me out of my mind
I'm standing
In stardust
A misspelled word
Flung out on my own
Sir Isaac
You're bested
I got your loophole
Right on the phone
Gravity
You don't fool me
You'd best leave me
Alone
I got no apple on my
On my forehead, well I
I got your loophole
On the phone
And I have known
I've made my sense
Of cause, effect
And coincidence
I deny

Believe
02:47

Still can't breathe
When you walk in the room
When did I
Become lost to you?
Little birds, they fly
And I can't get the best of them
But one day I'll try
And I'll fly like the rest of them
I still can't believe
That you could not believe
Lightning strikes
When you walk in the room
I am scared
And in love with you
Little birds they fly
And I can't get the best of them
But one day I'll try
And I'll fly like the rest of them
I still can't believe
That you would not believe
Little birds they fly
And I can't get the best of them
But one day I'll try
And I'll fly with the rest of them
I still can't believe
That you cannot believe

When the World Gave Way
03:55
|
|||
|
From where I'm standing
To where I would be landing
It’s a long way down
I swear I had wings
But there's a couple of things
That don't quite feel right now
I know
I don't want to die
But Jesus Christ
I really want to fly
Lights are flashin'
Lights, camera, and action
It's a long way down
How did I get here
Into your atmosphere?
How do I get down?
I know
I don't want to die
But Jesus Christ
I really want to fly
Did I really dream
That I was awake
And you were calling?
The higher the heights
The higher the stake I claim
It really did feel
Like flying until
I was falling
Into my old name
I was standing
In a wide open space
When the world gave way
Two on my shoulders
Two on my feet
Two on my face
Two that I won't say
I know
I don't want to die
But Jesus Christ
I really want to fly
Jesus Christ
I don't want to die
