time on my own
03:44
|
|

spending _time on my own_
taking trips in my mind
over mountains and ~roads~
taking pills on the sly
hearing ~bells~ in the clouds
ringing over my head
getting lost in the crowds
waking up in your bed
stay up looking for stars
when the city goes dark
getting kicked out of bars
burning down mary's park

seeing red
03:37

open up your eyes, you'll
see a million miles, and
open up your hearts, don't
fill your tongues with lies, 'cause
deep within your brain, there's
things you can't explain, just
look inside your mind, there's
space outside of time
take me at my word
this life can be absurd
i'd make it plain to see
if it were up to me
it's hard enough to live
without something to give
can anybody say
they're happy every day
take me at my best, you'll
see my like the rest, i've
counted all the ways, you
stuck around for days, i
cannot take the lies, you
draped across my eyes, i
crossed ~the sea of green~, you
cut me at the seam
take me at my word
this life can be absurd
i'd make it plain to see
if it were up to me
it's hard enough to live
without something to give
can anybody say
they're happy every day
take me down ~the long road~
take me down ~the long road~
take me down ~the long road~
take me down ~the long road~
and when i'm seeing red
i know it's in my head
look back at all the times
when things were fine
and i wished i was dead
you said it's plain to see
that something's wrong with me
i guess that's why they took me down into ward 3x3

thoughts are spinning out
reverberating winds
ringing in the clouds like _bells_
i love to listen in

roads

down by the sand lives a man
out at the edge of the land
living out the back of his van
it's all just a part of the plan
a road's not always well lit
a road's not always straight
but roads can lead you back home
when you've gone and lost your way
he wasn't always like this
when his path had just began
but walking down _the long road_
turns a boy into a man
traveling distances alone turns a boy into a man
tell your mother tell your sisters but they may not understand
over mountains, rivers, cities roads will lead you on your way
take a trip to lose yourself but be careful not to stay
took all the pain and the lies
i stripped them from my family ties
the ones that were weighing on my mind
i just up and left them all behind
a road is may be distant
a road may be unsafe
but roads can lead you from a path
that you ought not to take
i wasn't always like this but i had a choice to make
cause walking down _the long road_ meant i had a price to pay
traveling distances alone turns a boy into a man
tell your mother tell your sisters but they may not understand
over mountains, rivers, cities roads will lead you on your way
take a trip to lose yourself but be careful not to stay
the mountain's full of villains
the river's full of slime
take time to choose the right path
take time to steel your mind
if darkness should surround you
when death hangs in the air
remember what i told you
and don't despair
traveling distances alone turns a boy into a man
tell your mother tell your sisters but they may not understand
over mountains, rivers, cities roads will lead you on your way
take a trip to lose yourself but be careful not to stay
traveling distances alone turns a boy into a man
tell your mother tell your sisters but they may not understand
over mountains, rivers, cities roads will lead you on your way
take a trip to lose yourself but be careful not to stay

the sea

across _the sea of green_
there lives a girl there lives the love of my ~dreams~
i've never met her but i hope she's serene
and that she's always eating peaches and cream
i've never met her but i'm worried you see
that she won't know or recognize that it's me
or that she'd leave me at the drop of a pin
i've never met her but i love her so
no, no
don't i know oh no i don't know, no
don't i know oh no i don't know, no
don't i know oh no i don't know, no
don't i know
across _the sea of green_
there lives a girl i've never met but haunts me in my ~dreams~
i'd never hurt her, never want to be obscene
when will i meet her, when will i see her
i'll never know, i'll never know
no, no
don't i know oh no i don't know, no
don't i know oh no i don't know, no
don't i know oh no i don't know, no
don't i know
across _the sea of green_
there lives a girl i've never met but haunts me in my ~dreams~
i'd never hurt her, never want to be obscene
when will i meet her, when will i see her
i'll never know, i'll never know

dreams

there's something we can't see
there's something wrong with me
take trips all on my own
made friend with fallen foes
tiptoed across ~the sea~
held vigil silently
crept back but i can't seem to shake these awful _dreams_
out west the fallen sun
shines down on everyone
burns holes into their eyes
tongues black from all the lies
they sing a toast to health
built shrines to show their wealth
crept back but i can't seem to shake these awful _dreams_
this city never sleeps
cries from these crowded streets
the warden of the east
the belly of the beast
my friends all left this town
couldn't stand its awful sounds
i try to sleep but i am haunted by my _dreams_
