Keep It Safe

Far away bodies
I was watching them collide
Standing with my brother, staring at the sky
And his eyes are so telling
I know it’s such an empty space
So much love in your belly that it aches
So many seconds and minutes
Nobody wants them to subside
And the hands wave in circles
But it’s really just a line
Your eyes are so telling
So point them all around this place
So much love your belly
Try to keep it safe

Sleeping Robots

Say hello
Then you’ll know
Some people will never hear you
Others will always fear you
Either way kid it’s just a game
The camera stopped
The crowd didn’t know what they should watch
The actors slumped like sleeping robots
They pulled the plug ‘cause we know not how to love with one muscle pumping blood
Oh they don’t know what becomes of this experimental drug
No they don’t know what to do with us
It’s a trap you’d set in anybody’s path
Until you find some smoke and mirror
To set the mood, make things clearer
All laid out on a table in the dark
The camera stopped
The crowd didn’t know what they should watch
The actors slumped like sleeping robots
They pulled the plug ‘cause we know not how to love with one muscle pumping blood
Oh they don’t know what becomes of this experimental drug
No they don’t know what to do with us

I imagine it was like a goodbye.
Well if you need a backdoor I could show you,
The rain only comes true,
When it’s the worst thing you could do
Don’t hide your eyes,
It’s only exploding skies.
Just watch it all go by.
And it kept me occupied for some time.
My head was full of weather charts and false starts and heavy clouds.
Don’t hide your eyes,
It’s only exploding skies.
Just watch it all go by.

No Two Things
03:38
|

No two things are the same
I was born with different instructions in my brain
I can’t keep up with this parade
Night has fallen, the spectators have gone away
I wanna be a spaceman
Floating free
Cause every time she sits here
Gravity pulls out the worst in me
So just go home
Just go home
Back to some apartment
Try to level out
How are you so certain? I know you must have doubt
I just hope it’s not me you’re thinking bout
Maybe when you find your head
You can ask yourself about the things you said to me
Oh, these twists and turns
Oh, this bridge I’m gonna burn it down
I’m homeward bound
Back to some apartment
Try to level out
How are you so certain? I know you must have doubt
I just hope it’s not me you’re thinking bout

She Knows
05:15
|

Last bridge we crossed was burning in the moonlight
The first time you spoke to me I was on fire
But somehow you missed that
Never did have your head right
I took in every word like it was a trial
I think she knows
I think she knows better than me
how to judge the surface
I think she feels the same but
Lacks a purpose
Somewhere lights are blinking
Somewhere a wire gets crossed
Sometimes I do too much thinking
Somehow I get lost
I think she knows

Tired Shoes
03:14

Where are all the funny girls, with their dreams and their tired shoes?
Diving for touchdowns and validation on the nightly news
So pardon the excuse, “These things they come out when I open my mouth”
That’s the line I always use
Is it good enough for you?
Come so far, still feel heavy
Is this how it’s supposed to be?
Weighed down from last impressions of things I’ve never seen
Tongue escaped the cat
The spider stayed up the spout
And we remained in the living room
While fire swallowed the house
The future’s always in doubt
Why would we put this fire out?
Come so far, still feel heavy
Is this how it’s supposed to be?
Weighed down from last impressions of things I’ve never seen
Where are all the funny girls, with their dreams and their tired shoes?
Diving for touchdowns and validation on the nightly news
So pardon the excuse
Come so far, still feel heavy
Is this how it’s supposed to be?
Weighed down from last impressions of things I’ve never seen

Queensland

She’s gone down under
And she ain’t ever coming back
Both in her heart and her mind
I can’t seem to find my way around without her
My world came crashing down without her
I need to let it go

Love is the currency we’re swept underneath
The swirling sea of green shows its teeth
After the storm, you will take flight
Without a lullaby or a goodnight
The wind has blown you clear out of this town
The ringing in your ear is keeping you up now
What do you think we will do
When this all turns to dust?
Ashes and rust
No why just goodbye.
Love is the currency; we’re all in debt
Watching the world through a camera lens
So analyze this life, but don’t look too close
Those words are sung but never spoke
What do you think we will do
When this all turns to dust?
Ashes and rust
No why just goodbye.

Can't Explain
04:22
|

Boy you got some nerve
Boy you got some nervous way about you
When the synapses fire in your brain
You should hear the things you say
They sound insane
Things you can’t explain to anyone else
Things you can’t explain to yourself
I’m sick of war
Tired of how people treat people
I’m sick of this chapter
Tired of living for the sequel
No I don’t wanna die
But this ain’t how I plan to stay alive
Off living some other life
As a bad actor playing a better guy
Things you can’t explain to anyone else
Things you can’t explain to yourself
He forgets his lines
And stares and stutters and tries so hard to be witty
As he drills and hammers his brain
And spills the remains on the streets of New York City
So push my head into your hands
Apply pressure where you need to
Oh I do anything for you if you promise to be see-through
Things you can’t explain to anyone else
Things you can’t explain to yourself
