Lyrics

Once I'm Gone

Once I'm gone
Will you pull your roots up
Will you drink from my cup
And walk away

When I'm gone
Will you write a little song
Will you take my words and play

That's how you'll learn to love
Once I'm gone
Letting go of all this
Once I'm gone

When I'm gone
Will your clouds move on
Will you bring on
Your sunny day

Once I'm gone will you
Moan with the wind
Will you forget about your sins
And walk away

That's how you'll learn to love
Once I'm gone
Letting go of all this
Once I'm gone

Some Afternoon

Before you come into my life
There's one thing I'd like to mention
That I'm no good at telling lies
It's hard enough without pretension

And in the sunshine of your eyes
I see the path laid out before me
Full of chasms deep and wide
Of dark and light that played for glory

Some afternoon
Some afternoon
We melted away
At the end of the day
Some afternoon

In late July
Or was it June
We melted away
At the end of the day
Some afternoon

Hail The Rain

Summer has gone
All the festivals have packed their bags
You're on your own
Grab a gun and hold the phone
Until they come for you

Living With A Ghost

It's like you're arguing with a ghost
We could end it all here
It's like you're arguing with a ghost
We could live without fear

We can slowly adjust
Like the dawn turns to dusk

It's like you're living with a ghost
Like you're living in a dream
If you don't change your mind
Things are always what they seem

We can slowly adjust
Like the dawn turns to dusk

Thoughts surround you
Don't believe...
A hundred million souls
Dying to let go
I was mistaken
I could not see
What had mattered most
We're living with a ghost

Living with a ghost...

Backside Shuffle

I want to see you walk away
I want to see you walking away
I tried to let you loose
You're tightening my noose
I want to see you walking away

The devil showed up at my door
I said I thought he was a bore
He said to take my hand
Straight to the promised land
I'm glad that he's not here no more

I want to see you walk away
I want to see you walking away
I tried to let you loose
You're tightening my noose
I want to see you walking away

Inward Listing

I can see, I can see
Wings in the night
You've taken, You've taken
Flight
Laying, I'm laying
On the bed in my head
I'm overwhelmed and how could you tell
That the last song, the last song
Has been sung
I know, I know, I know
You're the one
It's stuck, It's stuck, It's stuck
To my tongue
I know, I know, I know
You're the one

A Better Gun

Devil in a little pill
This ain't the last bill
I am gonna pay
The mind is so fragile
When you're looking through a pinhole
At the light of day

Better watch what you do
Cause it's waiting there for you
Just around the bend
If you play your hand right
Before the day turns into night
You'll be on the mend

Don't trust anyone
Who's given a better gun
They're already gone
They're already gone
With their good intentions
And their little inventions
They'll steal your soul away
They'll steal your soul away

Hiigh Wire

High on the wire
High on the wire, tonight

I'm headed out
And I'm on fire
I'm on my way
To dance on the wire
My mind is empty
And I'm inspired
I'm feeling lucky
Cause I'm

High on the wire
High on the wire
High on the wire
tonight

I'm feeling restless
Full of desire
My heart is ready
For a new kind of fire
I'm not weak
I'm overcome
Cause I'm

High on the wire
High on the wire
High on the wire
Tonight

Age of Artifice

Give me something real
Something that ain't a lie
Something I can feel
Way down deep inside
Nobody got no soul
Cause love's been digitized
And so I've been told
That the truth is compromised

If you want to let go
Then you'd better say so
What they let you see
Is what they need to believe

Give me something real
A love that ain't a lie
In this scared new world
Everything has got its price
And my whole life
Is on this damned device
They're gonna show me hell
But I can't avert my eye

They're coming for you
They're coming for me
In the age of artifice
No one knows what is real

It's coming for you
It's coming for me
In the age of artifice
No one knows what to feel

Beyond

I want to see beyond these lies
Wade beneath the ocean floor
I want to wake into a life
That I've never known

I want to see beyond the love
I want to feel the grand design
I want to wake up from the dream
Having been to the other side

I want to see beyond the blame
Beyond the fear the doubt the game
I wake up from the pain
To a place that I've never been

So I'm calling all you angels
To let me know
Cause I'm no stranger to how it goes
I'm hard as they come
And I'm not yet done, with it
So I'm calling all you angels
To show me the way
Cause I'm no stranger to the ways of pain
The doubt and the shame
I need you today, to stick with it

So I'm calling all you angels
To come down from above
Cause I'm no stranger
To being low
What do I know
I need you to show
Me how to live

I want to see beyond
I want to see beyond
I want to see beyond
This life...

Hollywood Rose

Hollywood Rose, Hollywood Rose
You meant more to my life
Than I supposed
You spoke the world
Into a dream
You could charm us all
Into belief
You built a life
Made out of gold
Never worried about a thing
Or so I'm told
We couldn't see
You shined like a star
Sitting in the sky
Like you'd never fall

But those eyes
Tell a different view
Of things I'll never know
And never knew
Sometimes the truth
Reveals a pain
Sometimes the lies we'll tell
Are what remains
Sometimes love
Is not enough
Sometimes we need the faith
To just let go

Hollywood rose, Hollywood rose
You're too beautiful for this life
I suppose

Hello

Hello, Hello
Where are you going today
The sun it shines above
To light your way

Hello, Hello
What are you going to say
The moon it shines above
To light your way
Hello, Hello

Hello, Hello

Hello, Hello
Why are you running away
The stars they shine above
To light your way
Hello, Hello

Forever Light

Everyone seems to know
Which way the wind is gonna blow
Everyone seems to find the time
Everyone seems to weigh
What the world is gonna say
Everyone seems to hide away

But I'm not gonna wait, forever
For the light to fade to truth
And it's not fate
That we're together
In this place behind the moon
Is your face the sun at noon

Everyone seems to talk
In a way they cannot walk
Everyone seems to hide the truth
Everyone seems to think
That the world is on the brink
Everyone seems to live in fear

But I'm not gonna wait, forever
For the light to fade to truth
And it's not fate
That we're together
In this place behind the moon
Is your face the sun at noon

You and I
We will see what it takes to feel alive
Am I alive
And when it breaks into
A million little pieces
We'll survive
Cause it goes, on and on...
Forever, forever light
Cause it goes, on and on...
Forever, forever light

You and I
We will see what it means
To be alive
Are we alive
And when we break
Into a million little pieces
We'll survive, we'll survive
Cause it goes, on and on...
Forever, forever light
Cause it goes, on and on...
Forever, forever light

This Time

I'm tired of this time
And I'm not wasting
Another line

All they do
Is bring you down
Make you feel crazy
Man what's going on

I'm tired of this time
The different faces
And the subtle lies

And who are you anyway
Would you say it
To my face

All they do
Is bring you down
Make you feel crazy
Man what's going on

I'm tired of this time
What happened to patience
And a smile
