Escape Velocity

I’ve been here before and I
Will be here again if you don’t mind
I am out of sync in this city where
Well walked lines define your sense of time
And escape velocity will bring you to your knees
Begging out loud for release
I’m out of breath and running late
Fitting a mask before before I help anyone
Don’t get me wrong don’t get me at all
I’m looking for a wake up calling
Well, I’ve been there my friend
And I’ll be here every day until the end
Obsessed with doing the right thing
So I don’t really have time for this
And escape velocity will bring you to your knees
Begging out loud for release
I’m out of breath and running late
Fitting a mask before before I help anyone
Don’t get me wrong don’t get me at all
I’m looking for a wake up calling
I’m out of breath and running late
Fitting a mask before before I help anyone
Don’t get me wrong don’t get me at all
I’m looking for a wake up calling
So I don’t really have time for this
So I don’t really have time for this

Ills Descent

In the woods of seattle. Downing trees among the trees.
Just behaving like cattle. Never good for you or me.
And if you decide to settle, would you decide on me?
Cause barely now am I able to contend with a scene.
Conversely TV cable, isn’t worth the disease.
And I’m king of the world. Let’s go to the park.
And dance with the dead late night after dark.
And I’m king of the world. Let’s go to the park.
And dance with the dead late night after dark.
On a five minute holiday, Anyone can afford the break
If it’s bone then we’ll all just say “Que sera, que sera” serade
And I’m king of the world. Let’s go to the park.
And dance with the dead late night after dark.
And I’m king of the world. Let’s go to the park.
And dance with the dead late night after dark.
And I’m king of the world.
Or I don’t know
And I’m king of the world.
Or I don’t know
And I’m king of the world.
Or I don’t know
And I’m king of the world.
Or whatever

Kissing Palms

If you won’t kiss me goodbye I won’t kiss you in private
No don’t feel ashamed for not feeling the same way
But you should feel ashamed for leading me astray
Or was it me that lead you? I couldn’t say I didn’t mean to
Kissing palms hide the light from the crimson burnt in the lines
Twitching movements. Our last moment spent alive
Alive Alive Alive
Alive Alive Alive
After you kissed me goodbye you turned back one last time
To keep me from crying...I lied to myself
Cause you won’t feel a thing when I try to say
I didn’t mean to hurt you ‘cause I couldn’t if I tried
Kissing palms hide the light from the crimson burnt in the lines
Twitching movements. Our last moment spent alive
Alive Alive Alive...

Couples Therapy

Darling, don’t trust me cause I’ve had a bit more than a few.
And sweetie, when I look at your face I swear I believe all the things you say
So chip away the pieces that make me
Although I don’t use my words cheaply I’ll contrive control to compete with you
But lately, this high ground feels shaky
And jealousy is honesty with broken doors and sex stained floors
At least I think I’m right and wrong and somewhat alone
But don’t be worried cause I’m not. In fact I’m doing just fine
I am doing just fine
I am doing just fine
I am doing just fine
I am doing just fine

Reaching

Sarah hates porn. She abhors selling sex at all
And she’ll never touch a drop. No she’ll never let it touch her lips
And before she goes to sleep she’ll let you know
Just how good you are and how much you mean to her
Cause you are the one and she is the
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 missed calls last night
What words did you look like? Which actions didn’t speak right?
Cause now she’s reaching for you and pushing you further away
Cause you said the word and she says it
More times than you care to think it. Knowing aint good enough
How many times will you leave while she’s crying
before you decide that you’re never going back
You’ve got a bed full of thoughts that you don’t want to sleep with
Oh look at this mess yeah you better get cleaning cleaning cleaning cleaning
you better get cleaning
you better get cleaning
If you really mean it
