Slip Away

If it’s true what’s told, I’m body and no soul
I do not want to be involved
If we’re only dreams on darker side of eve
I cannot wait for my release

If our fate is null, and we invent The Call
I do not want to be involved
If like falling leaves, we empty with the breeze
I cannot wait for my release

Still the thoughts which bring me peace
Contain such mystery
And the knowledge that I seek
Replies uncertainly

I am trained and skilled at following my will
But I do not feel that I’m fulfilled
I am learned can earn with logic I discern
But I do not feel my life affirmed

Still the thoughts which bring me peace
Contain our mystery
And the knowledge that I seek
Does not bring certainty

If it’s true what’s told, I’m body and no soul
I do not want to be involved
If like falling leaves, we empty with the breeze
I cannot wait for my release

I Do Not Want To Be Involved

You told me that we can't live forever
Cold makes you shiver, we'll melt together
You told me that we love one another
You hate your father, he beat your mother

You're in the middle of the lake 
you have one damn decision
you can swim, or you can drown

I love you so I'll hold your father down
Against the ground, knock him around
I love you so I'll hold you when you're crying
Your father's dying, no longer smiling

You're in the middle of the lake 
you have one damn decision
you can swim, or you can drown

Middle Of The Lake (solo)

In Tent City

Flowers

Heavy Hands

Neon Skyline

Why, I'm left alone?
Might I come undone?
You somehow woke me up.
When life had thrown me up.

What might break you down?
Who'd knock you around?
What might break you down?
Who'd kick you when you're down?

Why, I'm hollow bones
Loaded like a gun
You somehow woke me up
When life had thrown me up

What might break you down?
Who'd knock you around?
What might break you down?
Who'd kick you when you're down?

Nothing. No One.

Once More

Living The Dream

What's that knife you've fallen on?
You'll bleed to death before you're born.

I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change...

You and I grew up in this.
Boarded buildings, tightened fists.

I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change--
You said you hadn't given up.
We talked of all the places we would go.
I swore to you our scars would never show.
I was wrong...
