Oh how I wish I could put these wonderful things into words
but you know it's been said
that the dreamer never knows he's in bed

We say "I love you" so much they've become such meaningless sounds
they've been worn to the ground
by the voices that sing out ill intent

And the truth that the heart had truly meant
Can be shown but never will be said
No, no, no

Hope I find a way to let all my good shine through
but it seems that to try
is to commit to lead a difficult life

Seeking so hard to find an easy way to be that man
doing all that I can
to mitigate my darkest intents

And the truth that my heart had truly meant
Can be felt but never held in hand

Brightest light, that weighs you down like lead
Simple signs, where words don't dare to tread
Twisting lines, our fates entangling
Look inside, oh look inside

And now I understand

Lyrics:

Fight just to feed the flames
Conquer all we can claim

What good did we ever do?

Hate what could make us whole
Kill what we can't control
We're still desperate to find a way
to avoid any apologies

Oh, what good did we ever do?

Twisting the truth
was all that we knew
the only trick up our sleeve
but we're good at what we do

Clinging to self-delusive doctrine
We set fire to the promised land and left no survivors
We're so good at what we do
So good at what we do
We are the best at what we do

Feigning goodness in our Sunday best
Fighting demons we can't put to rest
We're so good at what we do

In Our Sunday Best

A love song.  Sorry for the oversinging at the end, there, I got a little choked up hahaha.  I broke the bottom E string right at the end of the final chorus, too, so that outro sounds kind of shitty.  Ah well.

Lyrics:

Hey, well now I'm old and I am grey
at the twilight of my days
Following clues you left behind to lead me to a memory
But since the day your soul fell through
I've had these crazy dreams of you
where you guide sailboats through the night, you shining light,
crying, "Take me to the moon!"

Take me to the moon...?
Just can't shake this feeling that there's something I was supposed to do...

I said we'd meet up there if we lost our way

You cut your hair down short like back when we were kids
put that stuffed toy I won you on display
Folded a thousand shapes in hopes they might awake
some remnant, sleeping down deep in my dreams
And though I couldn't remember a thing

Somehow I couldn't seem to throw a single paper rabbit away
I hoped that one of them might know just what it was you tried to say

When you held up what you'd made to me
And imploringly you asked me,
"Oh, what else, what else, what else, what else, what else?"
Oh, but I'm sorry love, I simply couldn't tell
Could not recall our promise from back before the veil

Could not recognize that precious symbol
So our rendezvous on that rabbit moon was delayed

But here we are, and this time I can say
"My love, I never lost my way"
Cause you're a lighthouse beacon, calling out to me:

"To the moon"...To the moon!



To The Moon (acoustic)

Lyrics:

I was lighting up a cigarette
when I saw her the first time
A face like hers, I can’t forget
I won’t rest until she’s mine

Surely, Shirley you can take my hand, you already took my heart
Surely, Shirley you can understand, I can’t stand to be apart from

Surely, Shirley
Surely you can take my hand tonight

I took her to a restaurant
then a movie, our first date
She’s more than I could ever want
I swear to God it must be fate

Surely, Shirley you can take my hand, you already took my heart
Surely, Shirley you can understand, I can’t stand to be apart from

Surely, Shirley
Surely you can take my hand tonight

Surely, Shirley

Lyrics:

It starts with this
with clenching fists
hearts in broken bits
civil service left to lying lips
their shame eclipsed by all the things we'd miss
if we turned off the TV sets and reclaimed our wits
it all starts with this

It starts with flames burning
in your eyes and veins
telling you to burn it all down
and fuck the rent
and while we're at it let's burn
down the government

My whole world is falling down
to the bottom of the sea
My whole world is falling down

to Mariana, Mariana

Mariana

Lyrics:

Feathers of snow lacing tired leaves
I lean in close and see
Heathers in rows
what are they doing here
so far from home?

You give all you have left
afraid you might lose the bet

And they say that you can't
but you can, and they can't know that
'cause we're not there yet

Desperate hellos fumble in the dark
where did she go
You're still alive, you're not alone
We're just wandering
so far from home

Hello

Hello

Lyrics:

Been drilling holes in my rooftop
to let the sunlight in
but now I'm drowning in raindrops
water creeping up the stairs
Been cutting holes in my best coats
to help get me fresh air
but now I'm aching in the cold
watching frost bite through my skin

and I just can't win
I can't have it either way
I just can't win

but enough of this apathy
yeah this road's a known dead end
so if you just can't win
pack your bags and call your friends
and make merry 'til the end

Drowning In Raindrops

Lyrics:

From the first time I saw you
I knew that one day you would become mine
And we'd make our way through darkened woods and pines
Leaving all the wreckage far behind

But you forget sometimes
You're a glowing halo, darling you're a light
You are nerves of steel and gentle eyes
Wish you could see how bright you shine

And you know I don't just say things to be kind
But you're nice
And if you'd like, I'll be yours and you'll be mine

We'll leave our wreckage behind
Shine like supernovas in the night
You are still the brightest in my eyes
The best thing to come from '89
The world's greatest gift to '89

And if you'd like, I'll be nice
Just tell me that you still want to be mine

1989

Lyrics:

Settled in for the long haul
we were orchestrating a grand plot
one where we'd leave cities in shambles
let the wildflowers grow thick over their graves

Laughing at the old mistakes we'd made
Letting go of anger and impatience and disgrace
and all our worries about saving face
who we ought to blame
set our own pace and set the past to flames

In the end we're the same

Just hoping we'll meet again
with a familiar face
Just praying they won't
go alone into that silent space

Ah, waiting along
holding your breath
counting your steps

Just hoping we'll meet again
with a familiar face
Just praying we won't
go alone into that silent space

Just waiting along

Waiting Along

//9gen.(人間)

Firmware patch your heart
it seems the clock's running amiss
update awake restart, slowly regain your wits
slowly regain your wits, was it always like this?
slowly regain your wits, it wasn't like this...
slowly regain your wits...
Something's wrong, I don't like this!

They said "You're at your hardware's edge, the end of the line
nine generations in? surprised you're still alive"

And I can hear your heartbeat breaking down,
I can see your tears
I can feel your shoulders trembling but proud,
I can taste your fears

Will we be parting here? Oh
...leave me waiting here? Oh, no

Well, time will tell in time
Even if I live nine more generations before I die
I will wait for you, in hopes we may reunite
Oh, time will tell in time

9gen

Lyrics:

Today is just another day
with things you thought you'd thrown away
and words you thought you'd never say at all
Today's the same as every day
and every day's monotony
you do the same thing every time, ah

Wishing there was something that would give today meaning
but knowing that nothing'll change
Holding onto innocence far beyond the time you know
you should have let it go

And it's high time you realize the world is not
the place you used to wish and think it was
Open your eyes and gaze upon the painted skies
there's nothing left to do but carry on

Her voice is ringing in my ears
exposing all my deepest fears
confirming that it's pointless after all
This painted sky is all that's real
and all the things we thought we'd feel
were nothing but illusions, ah ah

Wishing there was something that would give today meaning
but knowing that nothing'll change
Holding onto childish dreams far beyond the time you know
you should have let them go

And it's high time you realize the world is not
the place you used to wish and think it was
Open your eyes and gaze upon the painted skies
there's nothing left to do but carry on

Painted skies and paper clouds above your head
Plastic trees and rubber grass

And it's high time you realize the world is not
the place you used to wish and think it was
Open your eyes and gaze upon the painted skies
there's nothing left to do but carry on
There's nothing left to do but carry on

Painted Skies

Lyrics:

City lights
shine like stars beneath a black sky
Dead to rights
red and blue flash screaming goodbye

All he wanted was a chance to change his life
All he got were three quick shots from a .45

Greying sky
Rain pours endless on a black day
Asking why
Soundless words too hard to convey

All her life she hoped that he would find his way
All her tears cried, but this hole won't go away

All the days he wasted flashed before his eyes
All the things he should have done before he died
All he wanted was the chance for something true
All he got was one short spot on the evening news

Valentine's 2018
Lyrics:

Forever remember the way we met
You wore angelic white; the light burned that image in my head
And we made a promise, that we'd see the end
That come anything and everything
We're more than friends

And I understand

I underwhelm sometimes and I reuse my best lines
But I love you completely
Two halves of a single heart, I skip a beat and tear us apart
But I love you completely

Wish you will stay with me
With me, 'cause I understand
And I love you completely

A song of farewell and of gratitude.

Lyrics:

Now it's time to move on
we all knew this day would come
That every lovely thing must pass away
before the rising sun

But it's not time to let go
And there's no need for goodbyes
it's just see you later, someday maybe
if we're lucky in this life

And I probably took it for granted
and there's a lot that I shouldn't have missed
But I'll take what I was granted with me to the end

I'm not too good with words
I tend to ramble on
But I'll try to keep it short this time
and say precisely what I want to convey

I don't know when I'll see you next
and since I'll never find a way to repay
I'll simply wish you fortune on your way
