Red Flower

The flower in your hair is tearing up the sky
Or maybe its the sun cause everything is red up high
And the skies are opened up to make way for the light
While the flower in your hair is tearing up the sky
Your eyes are red, I think we spent too much time
Playing outside trying to come up with new rhymes
About love and war and about each others' lives
Your eyes are red and i think its about time
The music is sulking and its filled with cliches
And everyone is sleeping but we're both awake
While the moon lights our guitars while we play
We're making too much noise to ever wanna sleep
Sitting on roof tops watching the city awake
Soon it'll be louder than any song we could make
But while the nights still hear its all ours to take
Sitting on rooftops watching the city awake
The flower in your hair is tearing up the sky
Or maybe its the sun cause everything is red up high
And the skies are opened up to make way for the light
While the flower in your hair is tearing up the sky

White Bright Morning Sun

Bright white morning sun
Please leave me alone
I wanna stay in my mind
Let the world leave me behind.
Black Specters of the night
They're in and out of my eyes
They give me dreams of you
But I never get to see them through.
Your red eyes surround my bed
From my mind I reach out to them
But they fly at the break of day
I hope they return when I sleep again.
Yellow flowers in the greenest field
Take away all I feel
Rest my head in this made up land
All I want is at hand.
Men dance all about
Women take their hand to help them out
Sky's purple with the setting sun
While outside awaits the real one.

Strand

A strand from a tangled nest of sunbeams
drops down by your eyelids
Its lighting, up your cheeks
Curved lips break at the seam, Curved lips break at the seam.
And I wanna be with you every day of my life
Hear you every hour and see you every night
I wanna be by you till the day that I die
O, my Love. O, my Lord. O, my Love. O, my Lord.
A smile like a sun flare burns up my world
And its cooled down by your laugh
Which sings like notes, sung by holy throats
To which the birds sing back. To which I and the birds sings back
And I wanna be with you every day of my life
Hear you every hour and see you every night
I wanna be by you till the day that I die
O, my Love. O, my Lord. O, my Love. O, my Lord
Though I feel like my eyes burn in the sun
I can't make myself look away
I have become focused on the light
Which emanates from your face. Which emanates from your face!
And I wanna be with you every day of my life
Hear you every hour and see you every night
I wanna be by you till the day that I die
O, my Love. O, my Lord. O, my Love. O, my Lord

Horror in the Water
02:45

Didn't you hear me yelling your name at the subway?
Swear I saw you on that train, rollin' by.
Didn't you see me screaming at you from the station?
Swear I saw you turn when I caught your eye.
Wish I could have seen you comin' down the parkway.
Went outside hoping to discover you.
Sang the songs you like hoping you listen.
Don't know how much more of this I can do.
Your the dark shapes behind me in the corner of my eye.
Your in the black every time I blink.
Your the horror in the water that makes me run farther,
And I'm waiting for you to swallow me!

Repenting Song
05:24
|

|
I don't know if I can really love
I've never given and not got
I'm always fighting to be at the top
I think only of myself
Lord I pray
Strip me away
Leave only You
I've worshiped my love
And Yours I forgot
I'd hurt another man, if it means I'd rise up
I've taken slaves
Even though I'm set free
I've paved my own path
And it leads to my death
Lord I pray
Strip me away
Leave only you

I'll Go Wherever You Are
02:34

I seen, slight slits slithering up your arm from your wrist
And I heard you screaming in your sleep last night
And I know all your maps mark the road to hell
But I want you to know, I'll go where ever you are
You woke to sweat soaked sheets in the morning
You'd been dreaming you'd have to keep pushing ahead alone
But, honey, Don't worry about that anymore
Cause I'll be where ever you are.
We wasted what little grace we had in the garden
And that snake he'd kept hissing the whole time through
But than Love came and put its head under His foot
and said, "I've come to be with you. Yes, I've come to be with you."
