The Lost Art Of Living

My past is growing and future’s getting smaller
I’m running faster but the world’s getting farther
I never thought I’d make it this old without a moment of rest 
Still searching for death, and I’ve been doing my best.
My past is numbered and I keep it in line
I drink it backwards with a tall glass of wine
I tell the new girl she didn’t mean that much to me, anyways 
Still living that daze, but hey ain’t it the craze?
I’ll never tell my friends exactly how I feel
They’ve never understood and I know they never will 
We’re all alone in there, dancing in our own little rooms 
I drink a gallon to swoon
So I can howl at the moon
Swim along the lagoon
Sing my own little tune
What the fuck am I doing?
The past is over and the future’s never here,
The present waiting for my head to get clear 
Sometimes I see it and you know I gotta smile, it’s true 
She’s always good to you
She always good to you
She always good to you
She always good to you
She aways good to you

The Present's Waiting

I’m picturing a record spinning
It’s kinda hard to tell which one of us is winning, now 
But if you break my heart I’ll know that it’s you
You say if it breaks your heart
You know that it’s true
Love
True love
True love
True love
True love
True love
True love
And clear as crystal, and bright as the sun
If all the world is captured, if all the wars are won; 
What good is it now?
I told you but you seem to forget it
I was waiting but you left already
Well if I take my time would you say it’s too late? 
If we hurry along, whose the mistake?
Well if you break my heart, I’ll know that it’s you 
You say if it breaks your heart
You know that it’s true
Love
True love
True love
True love
True love
True love
True love
And clear as crystal, and bright as the sun
If all the world is captured, if all the wars are won; 
What good is it now?
No more grey skies, true love is in her eyes
I see shining back again like no other, no other 
No more grey skies, true love is in her eyes
I see shining back again like no other, no other 
No more grey skies, true love is in her eyes
I see shining back again like no other, no other 
No more grey skies, true love is in her eyes
I see shining back again like no other, no other

What Good Is It Now?

Burning ships are piled to the sky as
A dead breeze carries our words like knives 
To the centre of a concrete gate, 
Littered with the ruins of our failed escapes. 
“Easily the strongest of us all” 
Spoke the wearer of the mask to the concrete wall. 
There’s never been an easy path, 
Even as the sand shapes the hourglass,
Even if the first really do come last; 
Lord knows the sun is burning fast.
Are you afraid of the big bad wolf 
Standing naked in the rain at the edge of the wood? 
At the centre of a pitch black mine; 
Only in your heart are you doing time,
Gotta use your claws if you’re gonna climb,
Sign away your life on a deadline.
Honey I told you there’d be days like this, 
I know it’s hard getting over it.
Throw those dreams in a wishing well 
And I promise I’ll never tell
Honey I told you there’d be days like this, 
I know it’s hard getting over it.
Throw those dreams in a wishing well 
And I promise I’ll never tell
Honey I told you there’d be days like this, 
I know it’s hard getting over it.
Throw those dreams in a wishing well 
And I promise I’ll never tell

Hourglass / Wishing Well

You’re in the watchtower at the back of my mind, And I’m stuck doing time
Airplane shadows in the sunshine,
Crash into mine
Yesterday’s sorrows aren’t worth a dime,
We’ve left them behind
But you’re in the watchtower at the back of my mind And I’m stuck doing time
And everyone is dying to meet you 
Everyone is dying to meet you 
Everyone is dying to meet you 
Everyone is dying to meet you
Sucking out poison is part of the charm 
With you in my arms
Getting so angry don’t know where to start, 
Shots in the dark
Feeling so tired but I can’t seem to sleep, 
Life on repeat
But sucking out poison is part of the charm 
With you in my arms
And everyone is dying to meet you 
Everyone is dying to meet you 
Everyone is dying to meet you 
Everyone is dying to meet you
But you’re in the watchtower at the back of my mind, 
And I’m stuck doing time
Airplane shadows in the sunshine,
Crash into mine
Yesterday’s sorrows aren’t worth a dime,
We’ve left them behind
But you’re in the watchtower at the back of my mind 
And I’m stuck doing time
And everyone is dying to meet you 
Everyone is dying to meet you 
Everyone is dying to meet you 
Everyone is dying to meet you

Doing Time

Take what’s left,
Spin it upside down, Captured in a moment That you don’t have now You don’t have now
You don’t have now
And follow me to the sun
Take what’s left,
Spin it in the air,
Living for a reason
They don’t have here They don’t have here They don’t have here And follow me to the sea.
If it floats high above Orbiting the sun
If it takes all its time Burning all its lies
If it gives everything, Whatever’s left is mine You just wait
You just wait
You just wait 
You just wait.

The Art of Waiting

You Just Wait

J'ai l'orgasme dans l'âme et le corps qui patiente
Où dansent les bassesses silencieuses
Mais j'ai les ailes trop courtes pour mourir
Et je la voix
Ma tête rouge
Attendre dans l'assiette du philosophe
Alors laisse la virgule reprendre son souffle
Et garde mon nom pour la prochaine éclipse

Attendre

Tell me creature in the night 
Is the child made of clay? 
Does he whisper out of sight 
In the coming new age?
All who hear him are destroyed, 
All connections torn away, 
Coded signals in the dark 
Making Jack of Dried Clay.
As he wipes away the dust, 
As he sinks into decay,
As an engine made to rust 
Takes the final man away.
Well alright, alright, alright
You’ve noticed, by now,
You’ve noticed we’re just going around and around 
You’ve noticed, we’re just going around and around, 
You’ve noticed.
Tell me what I oughta say, 
Spitting diamonds in the dirt 
Carefully disposing of
Every creature formed of hurt
When she calls is it a ghost 
With a heart like a gun
Tied backwards to the earth 
Spinning deathly round the sun? 
Make the most of what you are 
Just before your final spark
Just beyond your final thought 
Silent whispers in the dark
Well alright, alright, alright
You’ve noticed, by now,
You’ve noticed we’re just going around and around 
You’ve noticed, we’re just going around and around, 
You’ve noticed, yeah
Tell me is this what you say, 
That the earth has shot it’s lungs 
If destruction is your name
And the final chord is strung
If the final war is won
If we’ve reached our final day 
If the child in your heart 
Turns to Jack of Dried Clay
Well alright, alright, alright
You’ve noticed, by now,
You’ve noticed we’re just going around and around 
You’ve noticed, we’re just going around and around, 
You’ve noticed, we're just going around.
