Lyrics

No Such Thing

Saw a world that was beautiful
But the rain got in
And ruined it all
Then I tried to be invisible
It was impossible
Even for me
Laughed at love
It was a big mistake
In the absence of
I filled with hate
Cause there’s
No such thing as nothing
No there’s no such thing as nothing
I had the brains
Not to think at all
But the rain got in
And I thought to hard
On the world
And as usual
I saw to far
Into the void
I tried to make
Everything meaningless
But the rain got in
And made it a mess
Cause there’s
No such thing as nothing
No there’s no such thing as nothing
There’s no such thing as nothing
But my finger is on the trigger
That will
Turn off the world
So what gives me the right
To think that I could
Throw away a life
Even mine
And what makes you believe
That you should get away
With getting on
And overlooking me
Maybe to lose
Or to save your soul
Is a choice of how
You fill the hole
Cause there’s
No such thing as nothing
No there’s no such thing as nothing
There’s no such thing as nothing
But my finger is on the trigger
That will turn off the world

Poison Eye

I heard the sound bite
I read your words right
I saw the light
I heard you singing
I know your song
It’s my turn to write
I put this hook inside
So you won’t soon forget
I have the radar
I can see so for
With my poison eye
My poison eye
And when I look hard
I see in the stars
What you’ve done
And what lies in wait for you
And when I look down
I see the ground
I won’t make a sound
I’ve only to look at you
Inside the phone lines
You think you’ll hide
And you’ll bee alright
You’re in my sight lines
You will have no time
Even to cry
I see your pain
I’ll see my face on your fear
I have the radar
I can see so far
With my poison
My poison eye
And when I look hard
I see in the stars
What you’ve done
And what lies in wait for you
And when I look down
I see the ground
I won’t make a sound
I’ve only to look at you
I can see sparks
Over a lake at midnight
I see the smile
Falling from your face
But you’re in the dark
You’re in a maze
All you can do
Is sit there and wait for me
And I’m coming
I know the low road
I broke the code
To breaking your heart
I see the angles
I draw the cards
That burden you so
I have the sight
That follows you morning and night
I have the radar
I can see so far
With my poison eye
My poison eye
My poison eye
My poison eye

Arms Around Your Love

With his arms around your love
Oh no here comes a pain
That You can’t ignore
With his arms around your girl
He’ll do all of the things
You didn’t do before
You had every chance
But you closed the door
You’re just gonna have to face it
As if you didn’t know
She’s gonna make you pay for it
A price you can’t afford
You’re just gonna have to take it
With his arms around your love
Pretend that you don’t mind
But you know everything
That you left behind
And would have been alright
If you gave half of the praise
That you held inside
You thought she’d hang around for the ride
You’re just gonna have to face it
As if you didn’t know
She’s gonna make you pay for it
A price you can’t afford
You’re just gonna have to take it
With his arms around your love
Coming clean feels so dangerous
Just a little bit
Would have been enough
You never said all the words
Caught in your head
As if your heart was dead
But now it’s surely bled and broken up
You’re just gonna have to face it
As if you didn’t know
She’s gonna make you pay for it
A price you can’t afford
You’re just gonna have to take it
With his arms around your love

Safe and Sound

Picture a time, when morning will come
And you will wake up, without the feeling
That half the world has gone insane
You’ll open your eyes
Reading your paper, a drink from your cup
No one was burning down the town /
While you were sleeping
I’ve never seen but I believe
In a promised land
Why can’t we pull this together
One and all, now and forever
Why can’t we pull this together
And we can say that we finally found a world around us
Safe and sound
Think of a place
Where you could believe in whatever you want
Not keep it secret
Or risk your life just to be yourself
A place where you walk
Safely no matter your color or age
More than the greed of you and me decides the fate of the day
I’ve never seen but I believe
In a promised land
Why can’t we pull this together
One and all, now and forever
Why can’t we pull this together
We can say that we finally found a world around us
Safe and sound
I’d rather see you set it free
Than watch the curtains coming down
Think of a life
That won’t take the breath from somebody else
One where you’re seeking
More than yourself
Safe and sound
Why can’t we pull this together
One and all, now and forever
Why can’t we pull this together
And we can say we finally found a world around us
Safe and sound
Why can’t we pull this together
One and all, now and forever
Why can’t we pull this together
And we can say we finally found a world around us
Safe and sound
I’d rather see you set it free
Than watch the curtains coming do

She'll Never Be Your Man

The a.m. finds me, home alone awake in bed
Morning blinds me, I had that dream of you again
The fog is lifting, I don’t realize that your not here and how you left me, life disappeared
Life is rejection, I know you’ve had your share
But this one’s special, I can’t compete with her
And did she tell you
Only she could know your mind
And did she sell you, I gotta say it one time
She can be your lover
She can be your friend
She can be your vision of a mother
Like the one you never had
She will know your troubles better than I can
But she’ll never be your man
She’s got you thinking, of a world that you might fit in
A whole lot better, than the one you’ve been living in
Did she tell you, only she could understand
And did she sell you, only time will tell
She can be your lover
She can be your friend
She can be your vision of a mother
Like the one you never had
She will know your troubles better than I can
But she’ll never be yourman
She can be your lover
She can be your friend
She can be your vision of a mother
Like the one you never had
She will know your troubles better than I can
Yeah but one things for sure
She’ll never be your man

Ghosts

I know what you’re looking for
You’ve looked in these eyes before
And all you saw was blue-green water
Searching for a mirror
That would show the world
Not who you are
But who you want to be
And you thought that you found that one in me
Well it’s been a long time
Since I heard that name
He doesn’t live here anymore
Don’t know where he’s residing
You can wait here if you want
But I don’t think he’s coming back
He doesn’t live here anymore
I’m sure you found the right place
Same address you knew before
But that won’t change what lies behind the door
And what lies underneath
Has to change
From the inside out
He doesn’t live here anymore
Don’t know where he’s residing
I think it’s better if you don’t
Cause I don’t want him coming back
And yes I know the name sounds a little bit familiar
Like a melody to a dream
And yes I know he wore the same face, the same clothes
But that was so long ago
I know who you want to find
Somewhere is the memory
Of somebody I left behind
So lets take it all in stride
Hey, its that time
To say goodbye
He doesn’t live here anymore
Hey

Killing Birds

Learned long ago
About a better way
Of killing birds
And what it means
When they die in my hands
Like a strangled heart
It never made much sense to me
Why I’d need to know
The best way to do that
But you have to love
The murderer I’ve become
As I’m standing here in front of you
Standing right in front of you
Standing right in front of you
Killing birds
I spent my youth
Breaking down the walls
My father built
Just like he did
To his father before him
Then I had no home
So I tried to make a better one
It looked just like his
So I burned it down again
Another in a long
Parade of idiots
Standing here in front of you
Standing here in front of you
Standing here in front of you
Killing birds
You don’t have to love
The murderer I’ve become
If I had a web
I could sit and wait for you
Wouldn’t need a stone
I’d just poison you
And tie you up
And you would be a bird
A beautiful crested one
And your eyes would beg
But I’m just doing my job
Standing here in front of you
Standing here in front of you
Standing here in front of you
Killing birds

Billie Jean

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie screen
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She says I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round
She said her name was Billie Jean, and she caused a scene
And every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told me be careful what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
Momma always told me be careful who you love
Be careful what you do before the lie becomes the truth
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who says that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
For forty days and forty nights
The law was on her side
And who could stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and her plans
'Cause we dance on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, and remember to always think twice
Do think twice
She told my baby that we'd danced till three
She looked at me, showed a photo
My baby cried, his eyes were like mine
Cause we danced on the floor in the round
People always told me be careful what you do
Don’t go around breaking young girls' hearts
Then she stood right by me
The smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
When she called me to her room

Scar On The Sky

As I fall I leave a scar upon the sky
A simple note for you I wait for your reply
And in your answer I regain my will to try
So hover in the diving light
And we will rip the night
Out of the arms of the sun
One more time
Close your eyes and we will fly
Above the crowded sky
And over the dumbstruck world we will run
In these hills they wash the gold and graves away
To the valley under all of this I lay
And there you dig me out unearthed and saved
So hover in the diving light
And we will rip the night
Out of the arms of the sun
One more time
Close your eyes and we will fly
Above the crowded sky
And over the dumbstruck world we will run
We can rip the night, out of the arms of the sun
A blood red feather leaves a scar upon my hand
No longer stranded like a painted bird on a fan
So hover in the diving light
And we will rip the night
Out of the arms of the sun
One more time
Close your eyes and we will fly
Above the crowded sky
And over the dumbstruck world we will run
We can rip the night, out of the arms of the sun

Your Soul Today

Sleeping on the road that takes you home
Howling at the moon at midnight
I want the wrong that sets you right
I’ll be praying at your bedside
How long I’ve been a soul in the gutter
I don’t have a home or a mother
Anywhere to lay my head down
Can I visit your arms
Can I visit your legs
I won’t need your insults or praise
I won’t burden your heart
So don’t worry your head
If you don’t want a soulmate
I’m your soul today
Hanging on a rope from a burning tree
Standing on a broken headstone
Bleeding form an old wound
Swimming in a fever
Waiting for a resurrection
I know it’s a miracle I’ve lived this long
I don’t want to give the wrong impression
But I’ve come so far
Can I visit your arms
Can I visit your legs
I won’t need your insults or praise
I won’t burden your heart
So don’t worry your head
If you don’t want a soulmate
I’m your soul today
Sleeping on the road that takes you home
Howling at the moon at midnight
I want the wrong that sets you righht
I’ll be praying at your bedside
How long I’ve been a soul in the gutter
Can I visit your arms
Can I visit your legs
I won’t need your insults or praise
I won’t burden your heart
So don’t worry your head
If you don’t want a soulmate
Can I visit your arms
Can I visit your legs
I won’t need your insults or praise I won’t burden your heart
So don’t worry your head
If you don’t want a soulmate
I’m your soul today
Yeah
Your soul today

Finally Forever

On a sullen night so out of place.
I almost lost my nerve.
When I saw you walk into my space.
A woman like you, I could not replace.
And it took some patience to catch your eye.
And patience to win your heart.
And now it feels like.
I don’t have to worry at all.
It’s finally forever.
There’s no hill I would not climb for you.
No bridge I wouldn’t cross.
Not a moment passes in my life.
That you’re not on my mind.
Together or apart.
And it took some patience to catch your eye.
And patience to win your heart.
And now it feels like.
I don’t have to worry at all.
It’s finally forever.
Anytime you’re lost,
Anywhere you’re found.
Anytime you want, I will be around.
Anywhere you sleep, Anywhere you stand.
Anytime you fall, Anywhere you land.
Even if you break, Anytime I can.
I will be there for you, I know.
That you’ll understand, You’ll understand.
Now I never would have imagined this.
So I thank my lucky stars.
As I see you in your wedding dress.
Never would have guessed.
You’d fill my open arms.
And it took some patience to catch your eye.
And patience to win your heart.
And now it feels like.
I don’t have to worry at all.
It’s finally forever.

Silence

They’re the soldiers, In the sunlight.
Kill the center of a man, Endless suicide.
By the night light, Infrared sky.
Is the holstered bridled child spinning around the flames.
Each is loved now, And all remembered.
For the mask they wore years before the future.
And the horse falls, In the smoke filled riot.
The center of a child grows a new disguise.
And where are the songs from the sane minds.
And where are the words from the sound mouths.
I can’t understand how they silence the voices.
That say no.
It’s a new day, In the old life.
He looks healthy with a tan on a white sheet.
Across the table, Where the blood dries.
Where infinity will greet these filthy confines.
And where are the songs from the sane minds.
And where are the words from the sound mouths.
I can’t understand how they silence the voices.
That say no.
That say no.
It’s a new day, In the old life.
In the silence, Of the abscess.
And where are the songs from the sane minds.
And where are the words from the sound mouths.
I can’t understand how they silence the voices.
That say no.
I can’t understand how they silence the voices.

Disappearing Act

Come on now the curtain is drawn
And tomorrow stands before you
Dressed and draped in a cold black cape like a crow
He ignores you
Look again there’s a beautiful girl
Covers sin in a holy land shroud
It’s the great disappearing act
Done once again for the marveled crowd
As we’re chasing our tails
And biting our nails
So strong and frail
And we build and tear it down
Build and tear it down
Build and tear it down
With barely the time to say
How did it get so late
I’ll never know
Step outside and now the doors open wide
And the minions are eager to find him
Put a million miles under your heals
And your’re still behind him
Cover your clocks with your chains and your locks
While the seasons get hotter and colder
Stretch your faces and lie about your ages
And still your going to get older
As we’re chasing our tails
And biting our nails
So strong and frail
And we build and tear it down
Build and tear it down
Build and tear it down
With barely the time to say
How did it get so late
I’ll never know
I’ll never know
I’ll never know
Hang on ‘til your fingers break
And your hands unwind
He will escape you every time
From under your pillows
Through open windows
And out on the rails
As we build and tear it down
Build and tear it down
Build and tear it down
With barely the time to say
How did it get so late
I’ll never know
I’ll never know
I’ll never know

You Know My Name

If you take a life, do you know what you’ll give?
Odds are you wont like what it is
When the storm arrives would you be seen with me?
By the merciless eyes I’ve deceived
I’ve seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line
Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you and I will replace you
You can’t deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you …are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
If you come inside things will not be the same
When you return to the night
If you think you’ve won you never saw me change
The game that we’ve been playing
I’ve seen this diamond cut through harder men
Than you yourself, but if you must pretend
You may meet your end
Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you and I will replace you
You cant deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you …are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
Try to hide your hand, forget how to feel
Life is gone with just a spin of the wheel
Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you and I will replace you
You cant deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you …are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
