Wandering Cloud
04:29
|

I saw a wandering cloud
Burning with radiation
I took a silver string
And made a constellation
My feet were in the sky
My head was in the water
And I thought in silent wonder
How does the sky ever stop from falling down?
I took a thousand pills
And swam through muddy thoughts
I washed up in confusion
My hands were in my lies
I uttered forgotten sounds
And pushed the silence from the dark
With all these evil winds
How does the sky ever stop from falling down?
Stop from falling down
Too many visions now
I can’t tell which one is truth
But truth is stranger than fiction
Think I’ll just go to sleep now
Too many choices now
But they'll be made by someone
Now that all my strength has gone
How does the sky ever stop from falling down?
Stop from falling down

We're Only Human

We’re only human
It’s something only a human would say
What else could we be anyway, anyway
We’re only human
Though sometimes I think I see
A world full of robots maybe, maybe
We’re only human
We say it to one another
But maybe some more so than others, than others
We’re only human
Does it just mean we all make mistakes
Or that we love too little too late, too late
We’re only human
It’s a strange thing to think
And a cheap excuse for anything, anything
We’re only human
Yes, it’s a strange thing to think
And it’s not an excuse for anything, anything
We’re only human
Yes, it’s a strange thing to think
And it’s not an excuse for anything, anything
And it’s, it’s, it’s not an excuse for anything, anything
Anything, anything

Searching
04:40
|

Well the moon and the sun and the stars
Shone down on a world made of dust
And life surged in the ocean brine
Spilled overland, spread far and thrived
And giants grew and ruled over the world
Then they fell when fire rained down on them all
The hirsute, the small and the weak
Rose up tall to stand on their feet
And after millions of years, billions have died
And here we stand on the brink of our lives
Oh I, I
I’ve been standing and looking
I know I should be yearning
I’ve been waiting and regretting
I know I should be searching
Good things may come to those who wait
But I might die young
The meek may inherit the earth
But they’ll get nothing done
I’m gon’ leap without looking
I know I’ll land softly
I’m gon’ speak without thinking
I know I’ll talk truthfully
Good things may come to those who wait
But I might die young
The meek may inherit the earth
But they’ll get nothing done
I know I should be searching
I know I should be searching
I know I should be searching
I know I should be searching
I know I should be searching

Calmly To The Storm
03:32
|
|||
Running on the great plains
Breathing through my foot-falls
Lulled by the rhythm, dreaming on my feet
Feeling something like a god, reeling in the heat
There’s a croaking, smoking thunder in the sky
And I’m a living statue running calmly to the storm
I’m turning into skin dust
I’m dissolving in the air
I'm drunk on fatigue, and everything’s in motion
The skyline shimmers, past a swaying grassy ocean
There’s a croaking, smoking thunder in the sky
And I’m a living statue running calmly to the storm
My feet are turning bloody
But I have to keep on running
I’m gaining ground and the storm is heading in
The deluge will drown us then resurrect us from within
And there’s a croaking, smoking thunder in the sky
And I’m a living statue running calmly to the storm
I'm running
And I'm breathing
Oh I'm dreaming
And I'm still running and running
Oh, oh, calmly to the storm

What Are You Gonna Do
04:04
|

Somewhere, somewhere
Someone cares for you
Somewhere, somewhere
Someone cares for you
But they're not here
What are you gonna do?
In this place, in this time
When we're all out of our minds
In this place, in this time
When we're all out of our minds
Oh I'm talking to you
What are you gonna do?
You can't win, you can't lose
Because this game has no rules
You can't win, you can't lose
Because this game has no rules
The time for talking is through
What are you gonna do?
Somewhere, somewhere
Someone cares for you
Somewhere, somewhere
Someone cares for you
But they're not here
What are you gonna do?

You Are My Queen
04:24
|

Come n’ be my catalyst baby
I need a reaction, I feel like a dead man
Radiate me baby you’re a beacon
And I’m a charred-stone soul in the desert
Come n’ be my mentor baby
I need a guiding hand, I feel like a lost man
I’m moving round in circles and I'm crouching in the dark
But I know you can reach me, feed me, and teach me
I know you’re a jumbled victim mind
Drinking every afternoon, howling at the full moon
But you’re a screaming chaos beauty, baby
Fire-licked, hand-picked, suckle honey, you are my queen
You are my queen
Come n’ be my tragic muse baby
I need inspiration, I feel like a dull man
Rage against me baby you’re a tempest
Whirling winds rise up beneath me, oooh I’m flying
I know you’re a jumbled victim mind
Drinking every afternoon, howling at the full moon
But you’re a screaming chaos beauty, baby
Fire-licked, hand-picked, suckle honey, you are my queen
You are my queen

Skin salt, broken lipped, starlight drowning a thousand empty red beaches
So clear, so bright, we steer forever deeper into the dark night
Your eyes, fathomless, ripples radiate from a center of nothingness
And one sound, so high, pierces through, and out and around a million times
Our cups, over filled, and yet every moment there’s more pouring in and still
We fight, oh we moan, our final battle re-played over again each day
Skin salt, broken lipped, starlight drowning a thousand empty red beaches
Hold on, my love, the sky is boundless and every cloud is a white dove

Someday Soon
06:16
|

Someday soon, one crescent moon
All the stars will scream
Someday soon, the hand that ruined
Will fall into the sea
And baby, we must crawl
For baby, we are small
And the rain must fall
Someday soon
Someday soon
