Horizon Eyes

The sun is always in your eyes,
You fight, you run, but you know you can’t…
You can’t escape the walls you made
This is your fortress, don’t you want this?

The lines that frame that empty smile…
They’ve seen the sun but you run, you ran.
You won’t believe the face you’ll make,
When you behold the life you sold your soul to.

All you get is all you ask for.

Get Your Own Friends

I’m pushing my boundaries high and low
To try and see where you’re coming from
I’ve given myself that blow by blow
I don’t believe this

How is this thing supposed to end
If you believe that you could ever really be my friend
My city, my street, my compromise
You say someday we’ll be alright

I’m sweating myself from up to down
Making sure I’m gone when she come around
You don’t believe the things I say
So just leave me

Who ever told you I would change
I never told you I would change

How is this thing supposed to end
If you believe that you could ever really be my friend
My city, my street, my compromise
You say someday we’ll be alright

I’m pushing my boundaries high and low
To try and see how far they’ll go
You don’t believe the things I say
So just leave me

Get Close
Get Away
You’re the one that I want but together we go up like a bomb

Got a new word for you, love

How is this thing supposed to end
If you believe that you could ever really be my friend
My city, my street, my compromise
You say someday we’ll be alright

I’m pushing my boundaries high and low
To try and see where you’re coming from
I’ve given myself that blow by blow
Just leave me

Martians

We think you’re so L.A.
But you just don’t know
How low you’ll go to get there

We believe your material
We’d like to sell you, tell us
What makes it tick, go

If getting around on the underground
Was as simple as a signature for you
Wouldn’t that be alright
So you’ve got a big chance for me
I could be a little fish in a great big fucking sea
I better believe you can make it easy

You can take all that’s left with you
And your little black bag when you leave the room
We’d appreciate it
We’re getting out because we figured it out
Without a doubt to stop us now
You’d better believe, you’d better believe we’re leaving

Act now, don’t wait, don’t hesitate
We know you’ve got so much to say

Looking through you
Would be so hard
If not for all the reasons, we’re proud to call these scars ours

We can see your, your smoke ring smile
You know we don’t believe in
The lies that you were born in

Act now, don’t wait, don’t hesitate
We know you’ve got so much to say
The time we take is ours to waste
The moves we make look just like fate

Chatter

I sat next to the window so you filled it in with bricks
I placed my ear to the door and so you made it twice as thick
When you found me tapping to a beat you tied me to a seat
Esteem

This home is not a fit house to live in
The water never stops, too many holes in the ceiling
Feels like I’m always slipping in the wrong line
Gotta get it right, no more wasting of my time
With market value at an all time low
It’s my time to step in and steal the show
From a room of saturated analytical minds
I’ve got a long way to go that’s why I’m taking my time

Tied a key to a kite line
Stepped out to let out some slack towards the night sky
Thunderclaps as my toe taps the rhythm
The storm backs the beat and everyone came to sit in
Problem is now we’ve got no attention
Precipitation swept up the whole field of vision
And I’m drenched, fist clenched, to my greatest invention
Chatter in the clouds and nobody else could listen

I sat next to the window so you filled it in with bricks
I placed my ear to the door and so you made it twice as thick
When you found me tapping to a beat you tied me to a seat
Esteem

Soul For Sleep

No! Rest!

Twenty-four, seven days a week

One day I said I’d sell my soul for sleep
Woke up a thousand miles away
Looking around for where I could’ve put that dream
Think out of sight, out of mind

Twenty-four, seven days a week

So let them believe that I’ve got all the time in the world
in the bags under my eyes
Making believe horizons, inside the palms of my hands
You can call it escape

Twenty-four, seven days a week

Out of sight
Out of Mind

Open Up

When the words coming out of your mouth are starting to smell
I think I’m already finished listening, you can probably tell
So you think that you way that you are is the way you should be
I think you’re lying to yourself, not just me

You can try to deny
Make believe that you’re always right
You could open your eyes
Or be blind until the day that you die

And if the lies you believe keep you warm when you’re sleeping alone
Then you can take those deaf ears and your toys and go find a new home
If you think that the way that you are is the way it should be
I think you should open your eyes and start learning to bleed

You can try to deny
Make believe that you’re always right
You could open your eyes
Or be blind until the day that you die

Out with the old
In with the new
Up with the many
Down with the few (with a few more than you)

You can try to deny
Make believe that you’re always right
You could open your eyes
Or be blind until the day that you die

3:47 am

We know the ropes
So we don’t hold high hopes for long
We blow the smoke
The envelope just moves along

Say the words, say the words, say the words you wanna hear
I don’t believe, you won’t believe we’re going nowhere
Say the words, say the words you wanna hear
I don’t believe, you won’t believe, I don’t believe we’re going anywhere

It’s the middle of the night
We swim an open sea of broken glass and neon signs
Believing in our time
And all the measures we were taking making straight lines

We know the ropes
So we don’t hold our breath for long

Say the words, say the words, say the words you wanna hear
I don’t believe, you don’t believe we’re going nowhere
Say the words, say the words you wanna hear
I don’t believe, you won’t believe, I don’t believe we’re going anywhere

From here you know it ain’t that far
From here you know it ain’t that far away

It’s the middle of the night
We swim an open sea of broken glass and neon signs
Believing in our time
And all the measures we were taking making straight lines

Say the words, say the words, say the words you wanna hear
I don’t believe, you don’t believe we’re going nowhere
Say the words, say the words you wanna hear
I don’t believe, you don’t believe, I don’t believe we’re going anywhere

From here you know it ain’t that far
From here you know it ain’t that far away

We know the ropes
So we don’t hold high hopes for long
We blow the smoke
The envelope just moves along

Like New

Some days where I’ve been is all I think about
And where I’m going is like an ocean filling up with doubt
And I don’t even try to hide my eyes no more

A heavy load on my mind I just pull it
I want a future thats more than stray bullets
A run from everything I’ve done comes back to haunt me

I’ve got a long, long way to go (x4)

See your eyes
(Baby boy)
How I wish that I was like you
(See your eyes)
(Baby boy)
How I wish that I was like new

I look outside when the sky just isn’t blue enough
I heave a sigh and then I swear I hope it’s good enough
Mouths to feed on my mind I’m behind red lines again

I’m treading water but I think that we can make it work
I give her everything she needs but still I’m such a jerk
I say he’s got her mouth, she says he’s got my eyes

I’ve got a long, long way to go (x4)

See your eyes
(Baby boy)
How I wish that I was like you
(See your eyes)
(Baby boy)
How I wish that I was like new

(Synth solo)

See your eyes (See your eyes)
(Baby boy) (baby boy)
How I wish that I was like you
(See your eyes) (see your eyes)
(Baby boy)
How I wish that I was like new (like new)
See your eyes (see your eyes)
(Baby boy) (baby boy)
How I wish that I was like you
(See your eyes) (see your eyes)
(Baby boy)
How I wish that I was like new (like new, like new, like new…)

If You Say It

So the weight that’s on your mind has got you thinking
So the weight that’s on your back has got you sinking
Lost yourself in someone else’s promise
Spent all summer spinning but now it’s August

You could swear that this is not true
Once and for all that this is not you
But if a feeling that’s inside of you
Starts to creep on up in spite of you

If you have to say it
Please don’t make it more than it is
If you’re gonna say it
Please make sure that you believe that it is something to believe in

So the weight that’s on your mind has got you thinking
So the weight that’s on your back has got you sinking
But if a feeling that’s inside of you
Starts to creep on up in spite of you

If you’re gonna say it
Please make sure that you believe that it is something to believe in

Swear that it’s not true

Grow

I won’t be satisfied
With the world I see
If I don’t believe
That we still have to

Grow until you feel the lines around you breaking
You can feel the limit as they step beyond it

Why won’t you even try
All it takes is two
When we multiply
That we still have to

Grow until you feel the lines around you breaking
You can feel the limit as they step beyond it

I don’t believe you
When you say
You can’t change

You don’t even listen
When I tell you
You have changed

All you’ve got is time

Grow until you feel the lines around you breaking

Pulse

When I met her on the street haphazardly juggling jigsaw pieces
This femme fatale she must have moved my heart with telekinesis
Wearing dark clothes and glasses using her mind and moves alone
I was shanghaied almost instantly to a place I’d never known
Where my whereabouts and my care-abouts were soon inconsequential
And only the pleasure I spied inside of her pupils was essential
To this increase in speed of my heart beat I was given no mind
What is a beat on any drum except for passing time

My heart beats
But one in 6 billion
My heart beats
For more of this feeling
My heart beats
My heart beats

When I came to myself was not the self that I knew
Beneath two shifting sunken eyes there was an emptiness that grew
As if I’d gambled everyday and forgot the aftermath
As if mistakes that I had made and made mistakes on my behalf

Where would I go
Without it

Overboard

If you haven’t heard enough you’re not listening
But if I turn it up would you miss the point
And if I died today would you miss me
Or would that coincide with your TV guide

I’m not gonna drown with the likes of you
Would you turn the TV down

And if I died today, would you miss me
Or would that coincide with your TV guide

I’m not gonna drown with the likes of you
Would you turn the TV down
Sinful sirens sound
And you’d hear it too

A canary in the coal mine takes the stage
I thought I heard the sound of change

It always gets me how the time is always now

Tomorrow’s Not Today

We’re all running just as fast as we can
To beat each other to the promised land

You make a living trying to work off your blues, while
They’re spending billions just to buy and sell you your life

But the man in the back just smiles
All is well

You’re holding out for the light beyond the tunnel
Pouring out your soul into a funnel
Looking around for a path to follow
You won’t find it if you’re looking for tomorrow
It’s today, and the man in the back he just smiles

The man says this, The man says that
The man sits in the chair, then the man he gets fat

Everybody comes up and sees
Everybody comes up and says
We’re gonna change it now
But today is the day

If anything you ever said was important to anyone
Wouldn’t there be someone listening now

If anything you ever said made a difference to anyone
Wouldn’t there be someone feeling it now

When you say thats not fair
Don’t think that they care

We’re all running just as fast as we can
To get a piece of anything that we can
Everybody’s just trying to get by
Everybody’s just trying to stay high

While the man in the back just smiles
All is well

Everybody’s got to raise their voice
Everybody’s got to make a choice
The man says he’s got to have more worth
So we stink up the sky and we fuck up the earth
