One's Too Many Times

Your skin is tough
Don’t pay it any mind
It’ll pass
You will shine
You’ll get through just like the time before
But one’s too many times
You are not
Who I thought you were
You’ve changed a lot
Did it hurt?
You’ll get through it just like the time before
But one’s too many times
I can’t do this
I’m tryan tell you
Open up your eyes
But you don’t believe it’s true
You’ve been through this
Time and time again
How do you know when you come to a wall?
Or a fake image of where you’ll fall
You can’t leap doing this to yourself
Trying to be somebody
We’re back again
Can you feel it too
Double take
You’re so confused
Isn’t life just a familiarity?
But one’s too many times
Just try to make some sense
I’m tryan tell you
Open up your eyes
But you don’t believe it’s true
And you don’t believe it’s true
No, you don’t believe it’s true
No, you don’t believe it’s true
How do you know when you come to a wall?
Or a fake image of where you’ll fall
You can’t leap doing this to yourself
Trying to be somebody

The Eclipse

The look in your eyes
Is telling me it’s time
To go
We’re only halfway through the show
Why do you have to go?
Tell me why
The difference is clear
You want to be anywhere
But here
Don’t fall
On your way out
Leaving
Found myself alone again
Not a word to say
Could it really be
Any other way?
Chrome painted black
A picturesque heart attack
Isn’t it beautiful?
A fire without wood
I wonder if I could
Put it out
Stay above the water
Don’t let it get any hotter
It’ll boil
The door’s closed shut now
I don’t even know how
To turn the knob
Found myself alone again
Not a word to say
Could it really be
Any other way?
When the moon blocks the sun
Everyone
Holds their breath
Until the eclipse is done
The look in your eyes
Is telling me it time
To go
It still so soon
It’s only half past noon
But the sun’s left the sky

I don’t know if its just in my head
I don’t know if its just inside my head
Is it in yours too?
I don’t know if its just inside my head
Well i gotta know soon
I be gone by the afternoon
I gotta know soon
The factories are killing the babies
The babies are killing their moms
There’s no hope in fighting
Just quit and cut your loss
Well I gotta know soon
I’ll be gone by the afternoon
I just gotta know soon

Did you see the man
With his shoes in his hands?
They were torn to shreds
He’d walked all day and night
In the city it ain’t alright
To stop where we’re walking
You either get out of the way
Get lost behind or pay
Get your wallet
If you don’t keep up the pace
Or if you look me in the face
You’ll be dead
I didn’t say it was fair
Did I?
Wondering where
Your soul lies
Just keep them in your hand
They’ll get lost
It’s not worth the pain
Or the cost
Even though
We all gotta show
Who we are
In this city of stars
Ignore the sounds
Of the road work ahead
Keep your shoes
In your hands
That man’s gone now
Ain’t it funny how
I’m still going?
I found both of his shoes
Read the paper it’s not in the news
Some lost sole’s no new story
Beside them a note that read
“Take the shoes I’ve gone to bed
For a very long time”
When you’re this close to the stars
You’re bound to get scarred
Eventually
I didn’t say it was fair
Did I?
Wondering where
Your soul lies
Just keep them in your hand
They’ll get lost
It’s not worth the pain
Or the cost
Even though
We all gotta show
Who we are
In this city of stars
Ignore the sounds
Of the road work ahead
Keep your shoes
In your hands

The ocean breaks the
Rocks into a
Billion different
Stars
Crashing waves are the
Moon’s way of telling
Me it’s never
Enough
I don’t want to go
But I don’t want to stay
To float out into the water
Or to take it instead
I don’t want to go
But I don’t want to stay
To float out into the water
Or to take it instead

Words Are a Crime

I’ve been trying to say
What’s on my mind
But I can’t communicate
Half the time
Maybe you say
Whatever needs to be said
I want to thank you for the
Help you’ve given me instead
Words are a crime
And the sentence we pay
Lasts a lifetime
What happens after this?
No one knows
Even you can’t find the words
To throw
Let’s leave it
To mystery
As long as you’re here
With me
Words are a crime
And the sentence we pay
Lasts a lifetime
