Quicksand
Ok now the monster is awake
It won't rest until there's nothing left
Maybe ever and anon
I forget about the pain
Someone bending light comes along
And flowers lean towards the sun
Some people fall in love and touch the sky
Some people fall in love and find Quicksand
I hover somewhere in between...I swear...
I can't make up my mind
A Kiss To Send Us Off
Meet me here
On November 11th, come alone
Bring your mouth
And selective irreverence
We'll both see stars, just
ONE!
MORE!
Tongue!
Kiss before the sky falls
Out
From
This cloud we're hovering on
To send us off
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off!
Kill your doubt
With the coldest of weapons
Confidence
No more words, OOooooooooo
Just the sound of resplendent
Tongues colliding
ONE!
MORE!
Tongue!
Kiss before the sky falls
Out
From
This cloud we're hovering on
To send us off
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off!
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off!
Here I am, there you are
On a wire connecting our hearts
Theres a string, and it's tied, to a kite
Theres a storm, in the sky
Now the clouds become electric
There you are, here I am
Could I
Have!
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off!
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off!
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off!
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off!
Dig
We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easy to identify. Look me in the eye,
and ask for forgiveness.
We'll make a pact to never speak that word again.
Yes, you are my friend.
We all have something that digs at us,
at least we dig each other.
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday.
If I turn into another
dig me up from under what is covering
the better part of me.
Sing this song
remind me that we'll always have each other
when everything else is gone.
We all have a sickness
that cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try.
We all have someone that digs at us,
at least we dig each other.
So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine.
If I turn into another,
dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that we'll always have each other
when everything else is gone.
Oh, each other when everything else is gone.
Oh! If I turn into another,
Dig me up from under what is covering
the better part of me,
Sing this song!
remind me that we'll always have each other,
When everything else is gone
Oh! Each Other, When everything else is gone.
Oh, Each other...,When everything else is gone.
Anna Molly
A cloud hangs over this city by the sea.
I watch the ships pass and wonder if she might be
out there and sober as well from loneliness.
Please do persist, girl it's time we met and made a mess.
I picture your face at the back of my eyes.
A fire in the attic, proof of the prize!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly.
A cloud hangs over and mutes my happiness.
A thousand ships couldn't sail me back from distress.
Wish you were here I'm a wounded satellite.
I need you now, put me back together, make me right.
I picture your face at the back of my eyes.
A fire in the attic, proof of the prize!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly.
I call your name up into the air.
Not one of the others could ever compare!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly!
Wait... there is a light... there is a fire
illuminated attic.
Fate? Or something better? I could care less,
just stay with me a while.
Wait... there is a light... there is a fire
defragmenting the attic.
Fate? Or something better? I could care less,
just stay with me a while.
I picture your face at the back of my eyes.
A fire in the attic, proof of the prize!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly.
I'm calling your name up into the air.
Not one of the others could ever compare!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly!
Love Hurts
Tonight we drink to youth
And holding fast to truth
(I don't want to lose what I had as a boy.)
My heart still has a beat
But love is now a feat.
(As common as a cold day in LA.)
Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?
Love hurts...
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive.
Love sings,
When it transcends the bad things.
Have a heart and try me,
'cause without love I won't survive.
I'm fettered and abused,
I stand naked and accused
(Should I surface this one man submarine?)
I only want the truth
So tonight we drink to youth!
(I'll never lose what I had as a boy.)
Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?
Love hurts...
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive.
Love sings,
When it transcends the bad things.
Have a heart and try me,
'cause without love I won't survive.
Light Grenades
We're given a garden,
And gave back a parking lot
> We got about fifteen minutes to go
Before this audience starts
Throwing tomatoes, yeah!
> It's not the end, there is more show!
> We got about fifteen minutes to go!
Survived the plague
Floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
No one's immune
Deafening bells,
My God, will we survive ourselves!?
I'm not an alarmist
But someone should break the glass
> And pull that red T-lever down!
To get their attention
Start lobbing the Light Grenades
> That burst and blind them with the truth,
> An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Survived the plague
Floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
No one's immune
Deafening bells,
My God, will we survive ourselves
Survived the plague
Floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
Wipe off your face, we've come this far
Come on, remember who you are
(solo)
Survived the plague
Floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
No one's immune
Deafening bells,
My God...
(clap clap clap - ahh)
Survived the plague
Floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
Wipe off your face, we've come this far
Come on, remember who you are
Come on! Remember who you are
Come on! Remember who you are
> Remember! Remember!
Come on! Remember who you are
> Remember! Remember!
Come on! Remember who you are
Earth To Bella (Part 1)
Earth to Bella
You think you've got it all figured in
Earth to Bella
Everything you know is wrong (Well, almost)
Earth to Bella
I see where you are not listening
I bear the burden of being the voice that let's you know
We all grow old
And before you swim you've gotta be okay to sink
Earth to Bella
The world can be an unfriendly place
So hold your head up
Do your best to save some face
It's not so hard
Just undo yourself and see your second sun
Ascend
Okay to sink
I'm okay to sink
I'm okay to sink
I'm okay to sink
Oil And Water
You and I are like oil and water
and we’ve been trying, trying, trying
ohhhhh, to mix it up.
We’ve been dancing on a volcano
and we’ve been crying, crying, crying
over blackened soles.
Babe, this wouldn’t be the first time.
It will not be the last time.
There is no parasol that could shelter this weather.
I been smiling with anchors on my shoulders
But I’ve been dying, dying, dying
ohhh, ohhh, oh to let them go.
Babe, this wouldn’t be the first time.
It will not be the last time.
There is no parasol that could shelter this weather.
Babe, this wouldn’t be the first time.
It will not be the last time.
We were trying to believe everything would get better.
We been lying to each other
Hey! Babe! Let’s just call it, call it, call it
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, what it is!
Oil and water! (wouldn't be the first time)
Oil and water! (will not be the last time)
Oil and water! (wouldn't be the first time)
Ohhhhhhhhhhh...
Diamonds And Coal
If it's good to complicate then both of us are doing fine.
Just keep your eyes on your part and leave me alone to mine.
If it's good to instigate then we're a fast horse, bet on us.
I'm not calling you an animal;I think we just fight too much.
Come on, in spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal.
Give us time to shine,
Even diamonds start as coal.
We're both aligned in frame of mind
But circumstance has got us good.
And now you're seeing a side of me I
Wished no one ever would.
Yeah, if it's right to pick a fight, we're
Fingers in a sugar bowl.
Love isn't perfect, even diamonds start as coal.
In spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal.
Give us time to shine,
Even diamonds start as coal.
Even diamonds start as coal.
We're incomplete and infantile
Even diamonds start as coal.
Give it time girl, the fire feels divine
The sweetest things, they burn before they shine.
We think way too much,
Look at us losing touch!
A promise is a promise until...
Yeah in spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal.
Give us time to shine,
Even diamonds start as coal.
Even diamonds start as coal.
We're incomplete and infantile
Even diamonds start as coal.

Rogues
I'm keeping an eye on the future
An eye on the past
And the present in my pocket
Just in case I need a door
Into a brave new world
Where all solutions end up with my head
Buried to my neck in sand.
Enough, enough
Bowing down to disillusion
Hats off and applause to Rogues and Evolution
The ripple effect is too good not to mention
If you're not affected you're not paying attention
It's too good, too good, not to have an effect.
I'm keeping an eye on the pulse
An ear to the track and
Penance in a locket
I'm dropping from the highest floor
When it hits ground
I watch it smash to pieces
Songs of liberation
Echo from the dust, the dust
Enough
Bowing down to disillusion
Hats off and applause to Rogues and Evolution
The ripple effect is too good not to mention
If you're not affected you're not paying attention
It's too good, too good, not to have an effect
Enough, Enough, Enough, Enough, Enough
<chorus>
Bowing down to disillusion
Hats off and applause to Rogues and Evolution
The ripple effect is too good not to mention
If you're not affected you're not paying attention
It's too good, too good, too good
Yeah.
Paper Shoes
I fly/I soar/this I adore. & then like a locomotive
the sound of your sorrow comes. I’m tired of the way it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
But I think I’ve outgrown that horsehair sweater.
I’d rather be alone
you’re ‘bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers,
but pain will roll off like water on feather.
You’d fly/you’d soar. But then like a locomotive

I’d rather be on my own
you’re ‘bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers,
but pain will roll off like water on feathers. I’m tired of the way it feels

Pendulous Threads
Mend this careless thread, it’s gone askew.
> Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it.
> Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet.
Or pull & see how much we can undo.
> Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it.
> Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet.
On a burning bridge, your
Options are minimal at best.
Depending on where you’re standing,
And how much breath is in your chest.
If it came down to it,
Would you high-tail home and hide?
Or dance on fire and enjoy the ride?
Mend this careless thread, it’s gone askew.
> Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it.
> Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet.
Or pull and see how much we can undo.
> Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it.
> Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet.
At the heart of it all,
That innermost, your fiery core.
There’s an amassing armor
It’s building you into a bore.
Life’s a match in a gas tank.
Don’t ever mourn the ebbing tide.
Just dance on fire and enjoy the ride!
Hey!
Mend this careless thread, it’s gone askew.
> Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it.
> Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet.
Or pull and see how much we can undo.
> Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Mend this careless thread, it’s gone askew.

> Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet.
Or pull and see how much we can undo.

Earth To Bella (Part II)
Earth to Bella
This is a quiet Emergency
Earth to Bella
Theres so much more to get than wronged (Oh Yeah)
Earth to Bella
You're treading water successfully
But are you Really?
Dont you want to see the Deep?
Its not so hard
Just forgive yourself
And Feel the water open.
