You I We

Tick tock roars the clock another night in my brain cell
I need the night to reason at all, I’m like a bat in a mission bell
I got the light tubes burning and hot
don’t always know what the measure is
It’s just a blind walk into what is
I still remember “just a panther into the night”
And all the fuss of my waiting
I think I think that what I thought wasn’t thinking at all
Stop wild for innocent (You I We)
Stop hiding an ain’t that is (You I We)
The tunnel life ain’t no way to live (You I We)
Man give what you have to give (You I We)
I guess it’s life that torches the ground and takes a piece of a passenger
It’s just a hard drop into what is
This is the longest way in the world to say that I really love you child
It’s looking so much better inside
You I We
You I We
You I We
You I We

Painlight, Painlight
I just want to lay here for a while, won’t even say I saw you
In all your grand and old familiar style
You know that I adore you
Got my hands in ties you’re in control
I’ve been withering without you
I’m just here to thank you for the challenge of love
Inside your painlight arc
Can I coax you down and whisper in your ear?
Can we keep it low and true and crystal clear?
Can I say the words to you that no one hears?
‘cause painlight I’m in love with you
I just want to thank you for your time, even though you burn me
Twist and tie and turn me like a dog,
and penetrate right through me
Oh my new old friend I’d like to know
What it is about you love
Maybe it’s forgotten love that mines a pain like ours
Can I coax you down and whisper in your ear?
Can we keep it low and true and crystal clear?
Can I say the words to you that no one hears?
‘cause painlight I still love you so

Candlelight Candlelight
Don’t wanna wake up in the candlelight, they’re trying to take us down
They’re trying to move us back to candlelight hey can you hear that sound?
They got the men in legislation, they got the men with the guns
They’re gonna take us back to candlelight, I think we’re already gone
Don’t know (you lack what you lack, you lock and you load)
Don’t know (you lack what you lack, you lock and you load)
Candlelight
It’s feeling like, feeling like we’re living beneath a bomb
A tiny glutton with a button and his suicidal lamb clones
There aint no use in trying to run because they’re already there (here)
I gotta find a little light a little air
I gotta find a little fight a little light a little air
I just don’t know (you lack what you lack, you lock and you load)

Hearts You Can Tell
04:04
|
|||
All beliefs are just amended dreams, hitch a trail to almost anything
All I know is these dogs are tired from grinding away
The knots in my thoughts are insane
This whole world is just an I can’t tell, mine a song and try to own it well
Find some friends whose eyes cans see you and hearts you can tell
The cost of all knowledge is well beyond what our logic can sell
Hearts you can tell
Hearts you can tell
Hearts you can tell
What I’m trying to say is I don’t feel that any spoke inside this wagon wheel
is a cog in our contraption or bears anything
Oh that I oh that I pray
Oh that I oh that I pray

River

I found the river today, how can that be?
I saw the arc of our lives in the star lines
I'm tired of wondering and wandering
I'm finding destiny in harmony
I'd like to vanish our minds to some away
Some kind of rendering place, where they're emptied
Some kind of blessing it'd be to breath again
To breathe again, to breathe again

Friends
03:28
|

I'd like to talk about our friendship for a moment
because it dawned on me how magic you are
and how you're such a part of me, you're family
I tend to wake up on the morning of the evening
and I miss a part of every day
I guess it's just a part of me, what can I say?
But just believe
When you feel that sorrow dropping down on you
I just want to tell you how I feel, I love you
I guess that what I'm trying to say
is that there's nothing like your face to cover all that I need
when life is just grinding me
Know what I mean?
So anyway as we go forward I just had to let you know
the kind of angel you are, it's really just astounding me
And if you fall, just fall on me
When you feel that sorrow dropping down on you
I just want to tell you how I feel, I love you

Math of Life
02:49
|

Innovator love, innovate with me in a way we've never dreamed
I will be your ears, you can be my eyes and we'll drift up towards the sun
The one true light in my shadow heart, is your face when the days get dark
My innovator love, my coronary love we'll never part
Though it may be hard to see in the hazy fog of me
If at times my silence ever has you wondering
This is was for and of, my innovator love
it's the deepness of our light I keep on pondering
You're all of me in the math of life
an equation that this layman understands
My innovator love, my now and later love you 'til the end
You're all of me in the math of life
an equation that this layman understands
My innovator love, my now and later love you 'til the end

The Freeze
04:20
|
|||
Drop your fawn-like face in plaster, mend another tender daguerreotype
Amazing what a body and mind can achieve in the atrophy
It settles in a meadow of moonlight
The days they huff like a wildebeest, caught stuck in the freeze
Let's abandon we, it's only I and me you see
Don't question the greed or the nature of anything
but anyway, you're bound to be someone eventually
Baby don't you know there's a war by now?
It's ringing in our ears and our concepts
Feels like a mule and a child and a fool ripped the parts off you
And mortared it right into their ramparts
The craze of maze-like empathy might feel like a breeze
But it's the end of we, the end of you and me you see
The enemy don't bleed like you and me
but seriously, I'm sure we'll get somewhere eventually
Baby don't you know it's an endless chump-sum game
that grinds us into their war machine
Finish what you started by all means child I love you
right down into our early grave

Undertow
05:12
|

I saw you show up, then I watched you wash away again
Staring at your eyes I see your mind is many miles away
and grinding on the gears again
Oh but I'm yours tonight, in this cold strange light
and all the owl eyes are challenging my will to be here
Mama I just don't know what to do
to make you whole, or get you through
and let you know you're in my heart so near
Why must every end have a cost anyway?
They never take the soul of the sinners
when they're talking about the judgement day
Mama I just wanna find some cover for you
As I try to be a better man, a better son
I'm feeling like I've fallen and I've lost my way
It's you in the depths of me that reminds me that I'm okay
Mama I just want you to know while you can
You're everything that means anything inside of me
I hope you understand
I so don't know how I'm gonna let you go
Undertow, don't ever turn your lazy back on you
Never gonna make up your mind in time to save it for a rainy day
Got such a hold on you, we're gonna hold on too
Everything you were is what you are
it's just a pattern in the ocean now
Mama don’t you worry gonna meet you in the water somehow
Mama don’t you worry

Love
04:10
|

Do you ever stop and wonder why the darkness ends and the light begins?
Do you ever hear a song that seems to open up all the passages?
I know there's a distant glow or some constant flow
or some feeling (I don't know)
But I know, I know, I know
That it's love that we're dreamin' of
Love that we need
Even if a pack of dangerous and caustic dogs are accosting us
If we gotta turn the torn and blasted pastures of our dreams
I know it's been said before, been kind of bled to death before
But I know you gotta love anything man to overcome anything
Our only hope is each other and trying to meet one another
Inside of love 'til we leave away
Love everyday
