Hello

Hello
I am of planet Earth
For what it's worth
I am sorry
No one else could be here with me
So what
Will you do with yourself
Can I help?
I've been set free
Of the bonds of my own history
So you can see
I am able, willing, ready

We of the Whips
03:27
|
|
||
|
We of the whips
We walked the plank
Of passing ships
Watched as they sank
Gripped the side of the tinsel tide
And fried
Tumbling down
Ten thousand leagues
We refused to drown
And siphoned the sea
Gripped the side of the tinsel tide
And fried

Bottle
03:21
|
|
||
|
If I sail away
I'll leave a bottle
Won't know what to say
Cause words mean nothing
I don't need goodbyes
Now do I
Sometimes I need to know
What shade I bleed
If it shows
I'll make my escape
As bombs are falling
I'll stay in good shape
By cleaning rubble
Toddler arms for tools
Sampling stool
Sometimes I need to know
What shade I bleed
If it shows
Does it show

Lightning Storm
02:30
|
|
||
|
Lightning storm in these four walls
Synapse fire of desire
If we have a second's chance
We will rise up so much higher
So much higher
Count one to ten before losing your head
It's said
Following friends off the ledge
Till the end
Out with old and in with new
Real accounting we must make
For mistakes we have made
Give up pretense, clean the slate
Clean the slate
Count one to ten before losing your head
It's said
Following friends off the ledge
Till the end

The Old Man
02:20
|
|
||
|
The old man watched
When I came out
My legs grew long
I hit the ground
And that old man
Did shake and frown
The old man took
Me to a dock
He said "good luck"
And pushed me off
Around my neck
A concrete block
Wouldn't mind if I could find a way to mend a home
It's not fair, but I don't care about that antique throne
The old man coughed
A bitter lung
I said "hey man
Cat got your tongue"
And that old man
Himself he hung
