Sound of the Town

I believe there is an instrument in the park
which is the blow that held me back at every start
In the past I believed I could take over the arch
as I sailed around docking the gown of the town
Do you remember the match we found in the park?
I love that wry smile as you light my face on fire
Are these workadays just leading up to this?
Or is this just an old-fashioned tryst with a twist?
I love the sound of the town
It blows me around
I didn't mean to call you I'd just let it ring this time
Its not my fault you're crying this time
You're lying there your face is close to mine
but I'm not a man I'm just your lonely heart out on the road

Buying A Lie

I wait alone you wait like a loaded gun
She waits by body outline she's tied her tongue
I know the refrain
Its spiteful snakes that turn when the garter's on
Its spite that breaks you now you're the lonely one
Its three in love we three play a losing game
we go 'round again
Two to a name and one with the sharpest tongue
I know the refrain
I speak in rhyme you know when my guard is on
You're guarding towers that no love has every gone
I want to bother you again
and steal your time the time that never ends
but you wrap around me
wrap around my neck
I seize and choke her tongue gets wound again

Can you show me how to let in air?
If it looks like Pain I've shut off somewhere
When it rains it pours but I'm dry and bare
On the tile floors we're just splitting hairs
I was cracking under her Miranda stare
He was up a tree for a whole month there
Still not sure my eyes caught her glare
She would always say I was gone somewhere
Beyond they're betting on their honest Man
The one who calls you up doesn't have a plan
But I would never bet on that man again
He was out the door before I could stand
Can you show me how to let in air?
We'll catch a Breath when its all laid bare
And you gave me hope with no hope to spare
What a thing to do and not even care

I don't follow
Where's the starting gun?
You won't meet my eye
You've turned on dime
But I don't follow
Time is half the fun
In space we'll collide
But you're fine and I find
Its a bad way to slide
To your side
You're in stride
I don't follow
I threw ten years away
I made plans to change
But what's one more day?
I'll be fine

Sister Inquisitor

It was over Dinner
started at a simmer
she was in her Rapture
he was trying to hide from her
Does she want to own you
or just get to know you?
When she's all around you
does it make you high or cry?
They were almost finished
when she said Which Is It
Will You Live in Darkness
or Share in All This Light?
You get what you want in heaven
so just sit right there don't you look
don't look she's only there to play
with your weakened heart so its only fair
its a dose the ghost is holy if you lay
She thought she had the edge now
but his head he would not bow
not now
Her eyes were soft and grey
but still he won't be saved
and if you just turn a blind eye
don't ask why
She's still trying to win him
over jam and biscuits
If he won't play tough
she'll eat him up
he's had enough but she won't give up
she'll eat him up
but he's had enough

Ordinary

Why is it ordinary to
take what I cannot replace?
Why do I buy my own lies
When other's are so hard to take?
Why is a line drawn in hard times
the one I can never erase?
What is so ordinary about love at a dangerous pace?
Glad I'm alive though I feel fine
I'm burning the sage like a Saint
Glad to survive all the down time
I watch my phone die with a faint
Smile I lie now my hands bind
Blood is all over my face
Gotta go find some commentary
To go with this joke of a place
Why even try its only ever a beautiful lie?
(I look and I find no embrace)
Can I get by on my bright shades of past lives?
(Nothing here looks quite the same)
Its always night in my mind let's unwind
(We ache and we ache and we ache)
Gotta go find another escape this time
(Why is this tear on my face?)
I drove my car to the very edge
Now I'm plummeting
Wheels spinning in the air
I saw the same six faces smiling at me as I flew by
It took a while to get so clear
All this wandering
Wind blowing through my hair
I rolled my life in a cigarette
I light it up as I fly
tumbling down to the rocks below
Why is it ordinary to love without showing your face?

Into the waves I walk
Shapeless uneasy
Into your bed I fall
You're so silent in loving
Is the Pattern right?
Do we make up and go?
Are these many false nights
Just a waste of our good time?
I wash the powder off
These are evil schemes
Any way would do
Just to have another day with you
All the time that goes by
It gets harder just to say it right
All the time away
I'll never make it back in time
You could have said it outright
I'm never gonna love you right
All my long days my bad nights
You never could have done it right

Whoa
Why
No
Why
Did you ever go to my head
All your lies
all the time
in your eyes
all your lies
Did you ever go to my head
in your eyes
in my eyes
threw our eyes at the sky
Did you ever go to my head
all your lies
calming lies
No
Why
No
Why
