- Barely Breathing
I know what you're doing, I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears
You really had me going, wishing on a star
But the black holes that surround you are heavier by far
I believed in your confusion, you were so completely torn
It must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born
There's not much to examine, there's nothing left to hide
You really can't be serious if you have to ask me why
- Earthbound Starlight
What are you looking at, what do you see?
Is it the truth or a strange fantasy?
Whenever you're watching, changing the scene
The time is a place, this place is a song
Where mothers are distant and fathers are gone
He too may be watching but he's not letting on
- Everyone, Everywhere
Faded longing
Tired of wanting
Can't explain the fear that's haunting you
Should I go on?
I may be wrong
So wrong
Hear me calling from Eagle Mountain
- For You
For you I want to sing a happier song
for you I'm gonna try to right all my wrongs
for you I'm gonna break my bad habits
there's a golden ring and I want you to have it
there's a golden ring and I want you
For you I'm gonna sit and patiently wait
it's great if you're early but if its fine if you're late
- I Wouldn't Mind
I wouldn't mind
If everyday
Was like the day
I had just yesterday
You and I,
Hanging on every kiss
On all of this
- In the Absence of Sun
For all the good you say it does
It feels no better when you've had your say
You may believe it's just because
The words get colder when you're gone away
I thought I understand
What I was to you
I don't want to feel this way
- Little Hands
Some sweet perversion
On the telephone line
I've been waiting for such a very long time
For her to be free
The evening was nice
But there were too many people
And all my thoughts so depraved and evil
Oh lord what would she say
- Nichiren
He beat the drum and lit the fires
He sent the messages in vain
But the sound of his philosophy
Rose above the falling rain
And to you who find it difficult
To believe in anything
I praise you for the outrage
- On a High
I'm on a high, I'm on a high
there's nothing more to it.
We are the sea and the sky
and the blue that runs through it, yeah.
and there are some who say there are so many things I need
so I run or I fight and I crawl or I scream and I bleed
I bleed, I bleed
- Reasons for Living
Everyone's looking, everyone hides
Everyone's telling everyone lies
We're changing the subject, we're turning away
Away from the heart of it all
You say you are happy
Do you think this is fun?
Well it's only a firefly to the light of the sun
- Rubbed Out
She justified it then
She may well justify forever
She figures it's the only way
To keep herself together
Something about hotel rooms and horses
And losing all here friends
And hearing all their voices
She rubs it out, she covers it over
- Start Again
Peace has lost its meaning
Now we've hit the ceiling
All is said and all is done
Here goes start again
You're better than you think so
Something I hold onto
I'm better too holding on to you
- That Says It All
Hit the town, still dressing down
Looking for some action
Mr. Jagger said it best
He knows you never get, no satisfaction
But Mr. Dylan knows
That everyone is more or less a rolling stone
And Mr. Lennon, so quiet, knows better or so I've been told
- The End Of Outside
Should I say I'm sorry, for what I'm going to say
I guess it's way beyond me, to sleep with yesterday
I want to see my future
I want to know my past
The everlasting present
Is that so much to ask?
- Varying Degrees of Con Artistry
Promised cures for every man
Snake oil and circuses
You can get to heaven, yes you can
So judge the books by their surfaces
Someone's taking care of business
The market place is doing fine
As long there's no witness
