Static

Silence fills the morning sky
In memories of days gone by
Expectations multiply
Apprehensions amplified
Shadow from September sun
The light abandons everyone
Careful not to lose control
The sun will shine down on your soul
Within the absences of sound
We push to reach for higher ground
Upon the summit we can hear
A dissonance that's crystal clear
The dream that once was near, it slowly disappears...to Static
Silence fills the evening sky
In memories of years gone by
We've become preoccupied
With never feeling satisfied
The pain that we all share, it slowly disappears

Run away
Shy away
From things you couldn't understand
Fade away
You feel betrayed
It didn't turn out the way you planned
Castaway
Would've passed away
It wasn't for that plastic sail
Woken by that friendly whale and...
Didn't know where to go
Didn't know what to know
Reaction to the sun, the same for everyone
Didn't know what to say
I'm feeling alright today
Reaction to the sun, the same for everyone
Feeling a waterfall
I'm tired of it all
Reaction to the sun, it's the same for everyone
Staying silent
Another Sunday afternoon
Waiting for the words that never come
Feeling violent
Another Monday morning
Waiting for the words that never come
Put away
Your vanity
You're not as important as you think
Gone before the drying ink
Every day
You fritter away
Life is short but not for long
It seemed alright but now it's gone and...
Thrown away
You find a way
To wait until it's much too late
To say the things you need to say and...
On Long Island
Looking out onto the Sound
Waiting for the words that never come
Held together
By piece of yellow string
Waiting for the words that never come
Hold each other
Just until the shaking stops
Waiting for the words that never come
Altogether
Like a piece of yellow string
Waiting for the words that never come

Till The Empty Goes Away
06:31

I only want to say
I'm doing alright today
The day isn't over yet
I'm willing to forget
I know it's been a while
Since I felt the urge to smile
Daddy don't want to play
And Mommy don't want to stay
Falling onto the ground
I'm flailing around and round
I'm trying to hurt myself
'Till the empty goes away
And now that we got a gun
We're going to have some fun
Get yourself to the car
We're going to be a star
I only want to say
I'm feelin' alright today
And counting out the days
'Till the empty goes away
We're headed for the door
Just like you did before
You had to run away
Now look what you've done to me
Waiting for you to come back
Time for you to come back
Time to go home
Waiting for you

Doesn't Happen Here
09:21

Till now I've waited for you
Been waiting for your time
Been waiting for your courage
Just waiting time around
Tonight I see your image
Your wide eyed silhouette
The faces in the water
The face I won't forget
Tonight I feel your spirit
It hangs onto my soul
For now my soul
And I've waited for ya time and time again
More than anyone can share
This precious moment
Oh, it doesn't happen here
And now I see the ending
It shares it plain as day
For love is never ending
For now I can't explain
You know I can't avoid it
To know I'd lay you down
To know I've fallen under
To know it fades away
Till now I'm waiting for you
You know I'd wait again
To wait again
And I'm waiting for ya time and time again
But the ending's still the same
That magic moment
Oh, it doesn't happen here

Drowning
07:13

in the faces of the fallen
in the coldness of the day
in the silence of the morning
in the waiting of the way
awake in the morning time
waiting for someone to come and bear
the weight of what you said last evening
crushing down on me
waiting for the time to say it
waiting for the key
that fits the lock that holds this empty room closed
the prisoner is me
falling into water, I can't breathe
the water retreats
and if there comes a day
when mountains fall into the sea
there was time to choose your battles, save your honor
in spite of me
the moon controls the undertow
the water covers me
the tide moves in, the weight of water
crushing down on me
falling into water, I can't breathe
the water retreats
drowning, deeper water
become one, the water and me
in the time it takes the brain to stop breathing
I could have said I was wrong
in the time it takes the heart to stop beating
I could have reached for your hand
in the faces of the fallen
in the coldness of the day
in the silence of the morning
in the waiting of the way
falling into water, I can't breathe
the water retreats
drowning, deeper water
become one, the water and me

Absent (Part 2)
05:41
|

It can fill the morning sky
It can sing a lullaby
It can make you laugh or cry
It could be a huge mistake
It can whisper you awake
It can fill your heart with ache
It can take away the pain
It can smell like cheap champagne
It can be your ball and chain
We could circumnavigate
And rise above the hate
To reach a higher state
All we need to do is try
And ask each other, why?
We've been Absent for so long
We forget where we belong
But we can come back strong
We can fill the evening sky
And the angels sing on high
As our voice is multiplied
All we need to do is try
And ask each other, why?
We'll be forced to rise above
And fill the world with love
The dream that once was distant reappears and has something to say
