Return of the Singer
|
I'm coming out like a .45
Spinning like a Wurlitzer on overdrive
Feeling like electroglide
Touch down satellite, feel alright
Tonight, return of love
Return, return of the singer
Twist me up and watch me burn
Just like a falling star about to burn
Center down and outward thrust
The curtain's up baby, it's all or bust
Tonight, return of the love you get
Return, return of the singer
It's tailor made and it's heaven sent
Just think about the time we've spent
The way we moved the words we spent
If nothing else a testament
Oh my love, oh my baby
No one else can make me crazy like you, like you
Cause we're all about to move on
No one here without a song
Pilfering the planet's blood
Been making up the moment from after the flood
Tonight, return of love
Return, return of the singer
I'll tell you how it's gonna be
We're gonna make some history
A microphone, the truth we need
No joke, no trend, no fad of the week
Horde of angels, sing as one
You know my heart has come undone again, again
Oh, pressure
Return of love
Return of the singer
Return of love
Return, return of the singer

Existence
|
You come into the threshold
Of another starless night of fear
You're running from the demons
That would drag you down again
Illusions of the world are spinning
Out of time and frame and synchronicity
You're so sad, you're such a sad-eyed girl
You're so sad, in your sub-plot
(chorus)
What is this, what is this
This mess of my existence is
All these politics of
Life and death and relevance
It's my existence
Another morning it comes running
Up your bedpost with the wind
You face yourself just like you always do
Time and time again, the mortal coil of image
Inner peace and satisfaction
And so you keep it on the down-low
Hiding all the secrets that are down below
And so you keep it on the down-low
Tell me baby was it worth it all
(repeat chorus)
Oh just take it all
Make it work and make some sense
Just take it all, You're my existence
You're my existence
Wassup Girl, It's my turn,
You cry and your eyes burn
What's your life's turn, beautiful girl
Who all the guys yearn
What's more to your story
You still learn
Despite why your eyes burn
Soul-Searchin'
I seek and find the ole merchant
The high beacon
Your eyes talk
When you ain't speakin'
And at school
You cry out
Why does water deep dry out?
Your getting gyped
Flat out
(repeat chorus)

Be
|
All in all we're fading
Like a soul lost in the wilderness
We're cold and we're cut off from it
Not knowing where it's gonna end
There's a star in Bethlehem, calling you
It's a memory of one made it
(chorus)
Be, be yourself
There's no one who does it quite like you
And be no one else
Cause if you don't then who's going to
You're a tribute to the best of us
We follow everybody else
Not knowing what we're made for
The mecca of insecure
The sign and mark of the popular
There's a new face on the television
It's a new host with the same derision
Be, be yourself
Don't le the losers tell you what to do
Be, no one else
Cause if you don't then who is going to
And the time is now
No reason to look back
Just like an infant born
You've got to catch your breath
And I'm learning Father
Yes, and I'm going farther
(repeat chorus)
Light the path you're supposed to see
Just like the salt that filters through the need
Like the stars falling from the sky
Just like the apple of your daddy's eye

Angel With No Wings
|
I wanna a girl with a college head
Not some dizzy mind
I want somebody with some sentiment
You wanna waste my time
I wanna house in New Orleans
You wanna hitch a ride
So come on back when you can make some tea
And read St. Augustine
I like the way you look outside
It's not like the secrets that you try to hide
I kind of like the way you talk so tough
(chorus)
There's only one road to go down
You gotta take it right out of town
She's like an angel with no wings
And don't you know she flies with strings attached
Who said romance is a chosen thing
Maybe it chose you
Who said there's someone perfect waiting in the wings
Perfection isn't you
It's not the way you look outside
It's not the boyfriend that you try to hide
I kind of like that way you stand so bold
(repeat chorus)
Oh my Lord, you can kill me where I lay
And it's alright that you sing no serenade
And it's alright baby
That you're and angel without wings
And it's alright girl
That you're flying with strings attached
Yeah
(repeat chorus)

Shaping Space
|
And they said we wouldn't last
And they said the years would break our backs
So here we are again my friend
To mystify their narrow plans
You and I were meant to be
Much more than they could see
You and I are made to stay
As they waste away
(chorus)
We are shaping the space
And harvesting places
We're the prince's of the universe
We are living together
In the here-everafter
In the temple of the evening Son
We're the prince's of the universe
It's a prophecy of long ago
It's a blueprint for the journey home
And we're writing as we stumble on
Making history to build upon
You and I were meant to be
Much more than they could see
You and I are made to stay
As they waste away
(repeat chorus)
And the raven in the towerclock
Spins poetry and devil talk
And the woman by the endless well
She's drawing water from the mouth of hell
"And these are the days", she says and
(repeat chorus)

Dead End Moon
|
As the sand shifts cool beneath your feet
By the light of a dead end moon
Your haunted fingers on my skin so sweet
Your hair the darkest loom
Like a cherub left to gather moss
Like a ship without it's sail that's tossed
Like a vassal to his kingdom lost
My soul so pale
Oh my lonely heart
Oh my soulless girl, will you ever let me go
I don't wanna cry no more
And here I wander aimless
I just want to find the cure
To my growing weakness
And the one who wanders is not lost my friend
From on top a moorish wall I stand
I see the valley stretching
The mist of sea's are pulling in
From your cliff I'm stranded
Embedded in your body deep
Lie answers to the questions
Like a garden hidden from the keep
How long I've waited
Oh my lonely heart
Oh my soulless girl, will you ever let me go
I don't wanna cry no more
And here I wander aimless
I just want to find the cure
To my growing weakness
Oh dark mistress, my only salvation
If only to hold you in blessed suspension
Eyes that hold midnight, smile that brings out light
Strange fascination, my only placation
I don't wanna cry no more
And here I wander aimlessly
I just want to find the cure
To this infernal sadness

Union of the Soul
|
How can I be so despairing
When you are so full of joy
How can I be so laser-like
And you so passively content
How can I bleed my sorrows
And you hide your accomplishments
Why must I wallow in the mire
While you fly above it all
I struggle with a word of truth
But you would wither if a lie passed your teeth
How can I be me and you be you
It is the union that makes us whole
Separately in control of each other

The Secret Circle
|
Oh tell me do you live in dreams
You're not exactly what you seem to be
Yeah, we want to follow Alycen
But come tomorrow we will want to run from Alycen
Oh no
You're so fashionably late
And you're wearing all that black like fate
You wanna run to the forest all the time
She's got a ring of serpents
One red, one green, entwined
She's got skeletons in her closet
That always seem to fall in line
I wonder if she's lost it in the head
Yeah, she just wants to get you into bad
Just take another prisoner, Alycen
Oh yeah, just tell another lie until it's done
Oh my Your name cannot be traced
And your theology is out of date
You wanna run to the fairies all the time
She offers you the ring of serpents
And she offers you her hand
It's not like love or friendship
It's something hidden
Oh the meeting's on, it's such a secret circle
Secret circle of, secret circle of, secret circle of…
Oh tell me do you live in dreams
You're not exactly what you seem to be

I Don't Belong
|
And so we broke
And so you decided
It was you, it's always you
Even though we were friends
I felt uninvited
The fraternity of fools
And I'm drowning slowly (going down)
And I'm fading like ink that's a hundred years old
(chorus)
I don't belong, say I'm wrong
Told you that you should have known me better
I don't belong, this is my song, this is my song
You made me a prince
You made me a pauper
Then you turned and closed the gate
Even though I messed up
There wasn't an offer, love
No mercy, no grace
And I see right through you (see right through you)
You wanna be just like me don't you
(repeat chorus)
(Stupid things I've said and done)
Oh don't you walk away
(Battles that I've lost and won)
Shame, shame, shame on me
(What I used to think was wrong)
I'm for the underdog, I like the one that don't belong
(repeat chorus)

Blind
|
There's no one stirring on my street tonight
There's no one leaning on my window pane
No one to ascertain, or just apologize to
There's no one to kill my anxiousness again
And if you can please take these arrows from my side
Their poison marks are like a tattoo of my pride
I'm guilty, so guilty, dead guilty
(chorus)
Blind, I'm blind
You know I'm blind baby, say it isn't right
So blind, I'm blind
I'm certifiable but I'm on time
No priest in midnight black can cure my itching flea
This case of stricken lust has really got a hold on me
And if you can please take this sword back from my side
It's poison mark is like a tattoo of my pride
I'm guilty, so shoot me, I'm guilty
(repeat chorus)
I need divine intervention, Your divine intervention
You're divine, You're the vine, I'm the branch
You're the vine, I'm the fig leaf
You're the branch, You're divine
I'm blind (I'm deaf and dumb and that's not all)
You know I need a dose of Your spirituality
I'm blind (I'm deaf and dumb and that's not all)
I can see now my eyes are opening
I'm deaf and dumb and that's not all
I'm deaf and dumb to it all

On and On
|
You are the sunshine
I am the rain that falls in line
You are a candle
And I am your darkness
You are the moonlight
I am the cloud that passes by
You are a vision
And I am blindness
And so it goes
The story is far too old to know it all
(chorus)
On and on, we dance until the song is off the radio
On and on, we hold each other long after the crowd is gone
On and on, our love goes on and on
You are an island
I am the raging of the sea
You are the fortress
And I am abandoned
You are the valley
You are a bird that flies so high
You are a temple
And I am a beggar
And so it goes
The story is far too old to know it all
(repeat chorus)
Take me to your drawbridge
Come take me to your door
Take me when I'm hungry baby
Take me when I'm poor
Take me when I'm sick of love
Take me when you've had enough
Take me when I'm lost, alone
And don't know the reasons why
(repeat chorus x2)
You are a vision
And I am blindness

Her Game
|
Every time she comes my way she knows just what to do and say
Those little smiles she throws away, they turn my stomach
If you listen close enough you'll catch all the divisive stuff
Those subtle moves, the way she smoothes her hair
And you don't want to say
She was digging your grave
And your friends all can see it
There's no way you're gonna leave it
(chorus)
So where you gonna go
Who you gonna call
When you know it's time to play the game
What's your mystery
Who's it gonna be
When you know it's time to play her game
Is it real or memorex
Those secrets that you feared confess
When she was there you let it all spill out
Turning as you leave for good
You wonder if you ever should have
Wandered through her neighborhood at all
And you don't want to say
She was digging your grave
And your friends all can see it
There's no way you're gonna leave it
(repeat chorus)
I am not to blame
This is my parade of broken-hearted words
I feel them all and learned their shame
Please catch me when I fall
And turn me from this wall I've faced for far too long
This lonely sonnet needs a throng
And you don't want to say
She was digging your grave
And your friends all can see it
There's no way you're gonna leave it
(repeat chorus x2)

Deconstructing Venus
|
You are the center of your own private little constellation
And you are the jury and judge of every little deconstructed fable
And you like the way it is
You don't want to question it
You're the wonder of God's own handiwork
Yeah, you wear Versace but you look like a dirty bird
And yeah, even the paparazzi think you're quite absurd
Venus of your own consent
Is there anything you give up for Lent
Oh parasite, oh peacock of pride
Will you let the little people see inside you
And you don't wanna question it
And you're looking quite possessed
You're the wonder of God's own handiwork
Yeah, you wear Versace but you look like a dirty bird
And yeah, even the buying public think you're quite a jerk
And you're trapped in your little castle
Like Randolph Hearst in his fringe and tassel
Yeah, you wear Versace but you look like a dirty bird
And yeah, even the paparazzi think you're quite absurd
[There's too much information on the television]
Innocent we have been sprung and innocent we are
You don't know how to feel, you don't know
This is the eye of the storm
This is society

I Went Over the Edge of the World
|
Oh the hymns of angels
Suffer over the stench of the 21st century
Nothing is black or white
Or devoid of industry
The face of monotony
The litany of popular culture
I face the microphone and
Fumble in my pockets for a change
A break from the deranged world of
Plotting out the death of art
And I went over the edge of the world
And felt the sting of all it's words
I sang the song of elves and birds
I saw you in my rear view shades
And drank from pools of night time café's
I stopped over just to finish up
I turned the knobs and called your bluff
I went over the edge of the world
I face the microphone and
Fumble in my pockets for change
A break from the deranged world of
Plotting out the death of art

You [bonus track]
|
I ran into your arms, like Moses parted water
And I ran into your arms like an angel to the Father
I ran into your arms like a soul that has departed
And You rescued me
I fell down like the stars
You picked me up so tenderly
And I fell down like the stars
My wings made of clay
And I fell down like the stars
You hold me up so all can see
And You rescued me
(chorus)
Oh yes
You, You are the One
You are the One, the only One
'Cause You are, You, You are the One
You are the One, You are my God
I stumble like a blind man destined to this earth astray
I stumble like a blind man
No redemption
I stumble like a blind man
With eyes blacked out and mouth of sand
And You rescued me
(repeat chorus)
'Cause You are
You are the sky that holds the rain
You are my great escape
You are the drugs that kill the pain
You are everything, the teacher
I stand before Your alter fallen strain of Abram's son
I stand before Your alter like a lamb lead to the slaughter
(repeat chorus x3)
'Cause You are
You wanna call me when I'm wandering without
You wanna call and tell me everything's alright
I know it's You and You see everything in me
I know it's You
It's You
You are the sky that holds the rain
(It's because You know everything)
You are my great escape
(It's because You know everything)
(My greatest gain)
You are the drugs that kill the pain
(It's because You know everything)
You are everything, the teacher
(It's because You know everything)
You are the sky that holds the rain
You are my greatest gain
You are the drugs that kill the pain
Just take it away, just take it away
Just take it away from me
Just take it away
