The Birdman

hopelessly a man starts to feed your day
 once he was there you never looked
 back
 how did you think that his words might
 just fade away
 he seemed harmless enough so you let
 him in and now you'll pay

 i can't see him but he's stalking my
 thoughts
 how does it feel when you can't
 concentrate?
 i just stare
 all of your daydreams are a seesaw for
 him to play on

 how does it feel when he calls your name
 you can plug your ears but it's not the
 same
 how does it feel when he pulls you back

 nobody's wrong nobody's right the
 birdman wouldn't lie
 nobody's wrong nobody's right but i just
 can't trust him tonight

 how do you forget a stranger that
 plagues your days
 we arm ourselves when there's nothing to
 fear right?
 wrong

 how does it feel when it comes to pass
 there's something there
 but it's not quite right
 how does it feel, does it make you mad?
[top]


Supersatellite

i've read the bible, i've read Dylan,
 i'm reading people now
 because it is much more chilling
 i sit on a satellite
 with the stars made of gold
 there's life through that hollow lens

 i know supersatellite
 i watch the traffic,
 i find the seeds

 there's one man in particular
 who's not what he seems
 i can't focus in
 on the lies in his head
 he's convinced that his blood is blue
 but it's red

 supersatellite

 nothing dazzles me,
 i am in his dreams
 nothing is shocking,
 transparent human being
[top]


Starseed

i let go of the world that was holding
 a passenger that could not fly
 in search of souls
 souls in search of something
 let it go
 let it slide

 when i find out what went on
 i'll bring it back
 it won't be easy
 they won't believe how a man
 he could drown
 in a starseed

 i hoped to find why this world wasn't
 glowing
 glowing it darkens as we end this ride
 i've fallen back under the equator
 I'm back inside I'm back inside

 when i find out what went on
 i'll bring it back but it won't be easy
 they won't believe the man he could
 but i'd choose starseed over nothing
 nothing
[top]


Hope

Hope climbs atop of the piano
 reaching out towards the warmth of the
 sun
 some man tries to ask her down
 but now maybe that's where she belongs

 my god she said,
 i'm the sunflower who wants
 my god he said,
 this woman is gone
 into the dark
 is there anybody there
 my god she said

 he climbed up top to find that she was
 slipping
 Let her go, let her go, let me go
 how long must we leave before we're
 winning
 they don't know, they don't know they
 just don't know
 If she can't be there I know it's best that
 nothing is denied
 If she can't be there it's best that
 everyone change sides
[top]


Naveed

are you there, and is it comfortable?
 did you want to escape, try to escape the
 population?
 the pressure is deceiving,
 and for you particularly should we let a
 young man die?

 let him die if he wants to?
 I can't live here anymore
 it's hard when you reach for that floor
 and
 and there's something that tears me
 inside, so I can't go

 brother are you there?
 now tell me is it wonderful
 or were you hoping to find something a
 little more?

 climbing down the hours I need to know
 now
 do the hands of time only rule this
 chapter
 i'll have to try once again, i'll have to try
 when I want to
 there he's on his knees again
 trying hard to understand
 why Naveed would let a young man die
 convinced that he might break he reaches
 for that phone
 and then another day has gone
[top]


Dirty Walls

so you feel that stain of dried up
 discussions without weight
 It's that feeling you will not have to
 destroy
 It's that feeling that you will not have to
 ignore

 the dirty walls

 So you've been plagued, but is
 everything okay
 I cannot bear the shallow words they
 throw
 It's that feeling that you will not have to
 employ
 it's that feeling that you will not ...
 it's got to go

 this conversation is going nowhere
 it's transparent as fuck
 this conversation must be over
 because all i see is mud
[top]


Denied

the telephone is ringing, disconnect the
 line
 the tension is building but I'm alright
 the stars are colliding, so you might as
 well let me go

 the television is burning because I set it
 on fire
 the wheels they keep turning, but i'm fine
 what about the questions we have locked
 up inside

 somewhere, somehow
 we've been denied
 hand in hand we walk behind pretending,

 defending while our souls are tied

 It's only the third hour, my conscience
 subsides
 But something reminds me that you lied
 What about the consequences?
 This can't be right
[top]


Is It Safe?

time can't fix it fast enough,
 so we won't notice what it was that went
 wrong
 I saw something there much too familiar
 a butterfly with a broken wing
 she's fallen under, she's past the end,
 communication is down again
 the scars have healed but they're back
 again
 we've got to believe this man must bend
 because if you could you'd try and
 destroy her
 and there we would be with nothing at all
 

 Is it safe to be a man
 when your tired and lonely
 only the confident know where to stand

 Is it safe to be man
 when the world is loaded with thousands
 that can't figure out just what they did
 time can't fix it fast enough,
 so we won't measure just how far below
 you kept pushing her
 you'll have to pay back all of the years
 that you stole
 she's walking backwards,
 she's spun around her ears are ringing
 loud,
 how does it feel, does it make you mad?
 she's on her knees
 please understand how obvious it is
 that this man must bend
[top]


Julia

can you see her standing there trying to
 find anywhere
 there are flowers in her hand but she
 doesn't know why
 offered is advice to you but all you do is
 fake it

 mother, she's only yours tonight and she
 never cries mother,
 I know there is hurt inside Julia

 drowning in her own visions,
 she's begging the past to stay behind
 there's a black cat in the night,
 there's a black cat in that sky
 offered is advice to you, you left but I
 don't blame you

 we're digging up the past to bury it one
 last time
 I know there's pain inside that truth
 but you just have to face it
[top]


Under Zenith

maybe they'll come back again maybe
 they're all gone
 one day you'll find me sending their
 message strong
 under your feet the city falls down so far
 the ground is sky

 we're under zenith again,
 it's healthy if not for long
 leave a little room for us to breathe

 much more than seven days and you've
 slipped to deep
 much stronger than sympathy, let your
 best friend pull back that
 leash
 sitting by a frozen man, someone
 somewhere has to cry

 were under zenith again let the cycle run
 we won't die
 leave a little room for us to breathe

 I love how you let me fall
 under but not to far
 I love how you let me fall
 only now I see where we are
 hold me
[top]


Neon Crossing

all you people can feel it waiting
 innocence and love, wrapped in the arms
 of the burning neon
 I feel it, I feel it

 it's so entertaining and so wonderful
 it magically calls for you
 big neon crossing show me the way
 save my soul today

 don't you worry and don't be afraid
 does it send you to the world appealing
 where there is spoken word that I can't
 take
 so I'm the liar, I'm the liar

 you'd be so disappointed
 to find out that the magic was not
 really meant for you
[top]
