- Brotherly love
Left with images of you pouring from my eyes:
You young, you here, day dawning, eyes wide.
Just images, just images
all that's left
all that I can find.
Like water
- hard bark on the family tree
October leaves on Massachusetts' trees.
A sight so fleetingly free
Just how October leaves
Just how October leaves
Just how October leaves
Me
- Lions And Lambs
i heard a calling, i heard a roaring
from a place where this boy could go.
and i still can't find any other place to call my home.
i mean this, i need this like wind for wings.
don't take this from me, don't break this for me...
the only place where my soul can sing, scream, breathe and find meaning....
sing, scream, breathe, and find healing in this refuge, this scene
where the hearts don't hide from the sleeve.
- More Than Music
More than music, its more than a new dance
More than fashion, its more than a posed stance
More than music, something we live with
Beyond the cheap slogans, an act of love, an attempt to give
We have seen a lot of kids drift away now they are gone
But new blood and old ideals will keep our vision strong
More than music, its our life!
- No Roses, No Skies
She's a song unsung
She's the wild orchid in your ugly swamp
She's a song unsung
And only the white walls of her mind know what that song sounds like.
The pills, the pills
and Dr.'s promises just ain't doing the trick
cause the arms of nothing she falls asleep in
- on the bird in the cage
My girl, my girl, tell me why you look so sad…
Has the sun finally set on us?
Have you come to long for another’s hand?
There’s just a feeling inside me that something’s leaving,
Life someone stealing salt from sea,
Let me sinking and left me thinking
How to keep you caged with me
- pave paradise
how many miles until I get out of this rectangular box of hell?
because these four same faces
in these overcrowded spaces
have me praying for the places
that will leave me one minute to myself
(along with)
the foreheads glued to window-panes
the sore-backs from kitchen-wood floors
- The Same Son
"Son, did you stare too long in front of that mirror?
did it break when your conscience didn't get any clearer
with the stomach you'll fill with all the food you eat
and lack of pain you feel for the eyes that weep
outside your windowsill of the castle where you sleep?
Has the sun stopped shining upon the crown you hang?
has your love and your hate started to feel the same?
- the taste of the floor
The taste of the floor reminds me of the skin
that leaves me in oceans of my soul
without a shore
So alone
so we'll hold
those barren bodies
bereft of any soul
- The Unbreakable
he was a kind hearted man in a hateful world
who caught every thing that life ever hurled
like the oldest mountain he always stood so tall
forever showing what it means to be unbreakable
- Watch Me Rise
"goddamn", he said, "i promised myself
i'd never feel this fucking way
again, this world has got me praying on my knees
for one peaceful thought
in my mind,
my stride,
my life,
- Watch Me Sink
(A breaking!) in spirit, (A breaking!) in promise, (A breaking!) in me.
How can I find the peace inside me of a world I can see?
(Taking and taking!) all for ourselves,
(Taking and taking!)
And it's dragging me down, (Deeper and deeper!)
Watch me sink (Like a stone!)
Like a stone, like a stone.
Like a stone, like a stone.
- What Counts
Have you ever felt like you've lost your mind?
when one good friend is so hard to find
when the walls, the ceiling, the windows and the floor
nothing screams to you as loud as the door?
because out is the only way to go
all those lonely nights man, i've been there too
can i stand it? when i'm lost
and the future is just a fucking blur
