Searching for Home

I'm riding on the night to you
Trying to get through
Burning in the underworld
Until our rendezvous
If you want me to find you tonight
Well, alright
If you want to keep searching for home
You won't be alone
The city shines its lights for us
The river softly glows
As long as you'll sit beside me
I'll go where you go
If you want me to find you tonight
Well, alright
If you want to bring life to this place
Show me your face

White Tiger

Don't you know I'm here
I know it's so dark in your world
Oh, white tiger
You stare down from your tree
And as you grow hungry
Your voice beckons me
You know I'll be home soon
I know how you get when you're alone
Oh, white tiger
With flowers in your mane
Snow white tiger
My lover calls your name

On the Causeway

Photo somewhere
Taken that day
On the causeway
With our smiles on
In a hailstorm
In our shelter
With no laughter
Now that she's gone

Spreading Trees
02:42
|
|||
|
The car arrives and we disembark
Parade into the mansion
Where drinks and deals and debts await
Where we'll talk about war and fashion
Squeezing the life out of the land
The future lies far away
These stars and stories, this smash and grab
It's so alluring, show me how to play
You took what you wanted from me
Under the spreading trees
Fresh eyes to help you see
Everything you ever dreamed
Seams and sags and a surplus of scars
A lifetime of slips with the knife
Vials and beakers and other such stuff
To pump out every bit of life
Sweat out the sadness, burn like the sun
On a planet going nowhere
Snatch squads waiting if you get out of line
But treats when you sit and stare
You took what you wanted from me
Under the spreading trees
Fresh eyes to help you see
Everything you ever dreamed

Everyone's Eyes
03:25
|
|||
|
I'm not sure
If I ever knew you
Maybe when
Our time was almost up
I once leaned in
To show you how things might be
And we said aloud
How strange it was
I never had a choice
But to make myself
Another story
Tell it when everyone
Has their eyes on you
And watch them smile
At the sound of your lies
As the months went by
And the sun went down
And the sea rolled in
So full of life
At last I knew
That it would never work
Just in time to find
You changed your mind
There never is a choice
For the former friends
Whose tales are told
Make it up so everyone
Keeps their eyes on you
Because after all
I'm unreliable too

Strange Whispers
02:57
|
|||
|
Dark shadows
Faint voices
In a distant fight
Faded pictures
My other self
Says it'll be alright
Alone in a darkened room
I watch the glowing screen
All the empty words
I know what they mean
This evening I'll go walking
In the dead of night
I'll stop and stare forever
At the blinding light
Strange whispers
Faint voices
I hear them in the dark
Scattered ashes
My new self
A shadow burned on bark

All the Old Dreams
02:25
|
|||
|
We started from the bottom
Now we're back where we came from
With a trail of blood behind us
From a string of broken hearts
Every day goes faster than the last
All these years just years that passed
All the old dreams gone and no more on the way
Pacing in our tombs until the final day
