Semi-Constructed Demolition

Good for you is the words you
Can't undo,
Birds in flocks we all dive together

You wanted to be the one to say
"I wrecked your home"
But you walked into shambles,
A vague reflection of the walls I built for my own sake

Mud, blood and money whole countless hours we put into taking you down

We sent out our senses to see how wishing would never fix the broken.
Falling asleep under the roof we lost
Blown away by the wind
The tapping could not trip us

Birds in flocks two times wiser
None the wiser, we flew into water
Stirringly,
We sat a-stirred
We slept in open water

If its time to go,
I'll stick around and help you get going
There's a million things about me to know
You say it's time for us to go

They will find us buried under our graces,
Looking lost, finding familiar faces
We flew in the sky tonight
We flew until our tongues were tied

The Leading Role

Sarah used to dream of portraying somebody else,
Now she's dreaming to be on a bed of nails,

Forced perspective of a blind man, a world of lights that never stop for a moment,

A world of blank walls, blanketed in pictures of your yesterday
The man you once loved is now the man you wish you wouldn't have

Heavy handed verbiage across your chest,
Thinking thoughts changed everything

Lynn wanted nothing but to have nothing,
And now she has everything she ever wanted,
Except for a soul continuously haunted

Brought in for the picture show,
Picturesque in a brilliant world designed to never let go

Maybe now it can go on

Somewhere at Sail (2012)

In a town full of doves,
Celebrated no weddings with no love
Around every corner another broken man,
A broken clan,
The teeth of knives was our familiar enemy

She said don't wait,
don't wait,
There's plenty of fish and you're bait
They'll keep thinking you're great but you're not real
You were never real,
A fake to be a meal

So come along,
All hands on deck,
We're all a wreck,
A nervous soul in need of check
Stay different and crazy
Our memories will remain hazy,
We will stay hazy

They clean the corpse of the clouds bearing,
Dead men and women cannot help staring,
Feeling like this life is not daring,
Hop in the rain,
Get on the train
Memories will only bring us pain

I'm somewhere at sail,
And you'd never fail
To be my reminder of who I
Wonder I will be someday,
Don't leave - just stay we will work this out
We will work this out
Don't stay to pout,
I need the woman inside you,
To find way to find you,
Because the both of me need the both of you too

The Promissory Note of First Class

I miss you much and I hope you know I want you here to call my own,

Oh so call it living, 

But last I checked your arms were thrown around my neck,

And we were dancing,

In a candlelit room and the music was melodic,

Romantic

Something that I've long lost,

My darling how I need you here,

Why am I wasting away; every day,

Send me your way in a brown box and you can find me at your doorsteps,

I don't care if its raining,

Or early; or if you're not even home,

So long as I see you,

And you see me,

So long as I continue to carry through,

The motions, we made hidden by candles, our feet hardly touching ground, and with the music, romance was our only sound, and I can hear you singing already,

I can hear you already,

As you pass me by,

As you've passed me by

Coming Together, Falling Apart

It took seventeen years for my dreams to fade away,
While blank walls, blanketed in hollow frames of fire,
I tic at the wink of an eye, blurry from the beer she poured

Keep these miracles; pray
For our fathers well, we tossed away our rights to break the surface
Under the red blankets of blood we keep well behind these walls,
We've blank slates of comatose hours away at the blades, and every miracle we prayed would last

So help me God the ground beneath this stone is getting softer and my view is getting smaller,
And in the small scheme of everything
I still only just got here,
Full of kerosene
Blocked off with fear

Skipper or Deckmate

Spin spiral,
Oh darling here we come
Floor first face,
Losing lost first place,
Sight no mission missiles missing
Target but so far away,
A missile so far gone, it's gone astray
And the crowd applauded with sirens of wails, and still we hit sea no see with torn down sails
While we watched men sink in laud, we traced with grafter,
Building up from a baseless sea farm,
We were only chasing wales,
As the journey mans journey ventured too far,
Into our waters the blades of vile and sea lorn could not face the lines anymore,
We faced the hostile with bricks worth boulders,
And placed the weight of the world on our shoulders,
Freckling skin and weathering bones left us imp and useless

Hold No/Wait (Weight) - Invisible Crawspaces and the Overheard Chaos

Where are you tonight; asks the rocking chair?
I await you, in your timeless days.
What colors we saw when we were blinded, and vague shadows we've seen since,

Where have you been:
Asked the handle on the door?
As I've been here waiting your 'turn

The sky has been blackened five times in-between our darkest days

Where have you been;
As I wanted to tell you our wait was up, our time was starting;
relapsing;
restarting...
lapsing

Where have I been;
Asked the man in the door frame?
As backwards as we noted our questions,
We quipped silently that we were never meant to be understood,
Just meant to never stand.
