This broken back and heavy boots of mine
I've got something on my mind that won't go away
Oh no, I can't find the remedy
Spttin' venom with your vicious tongue
Ejecting poison from your mouth
I'm done, I'm sitting this one out
I'm gone, au revoir, so long and
I've got these marks on my lips
We'll detonate the smokestacks
Dissipate my boiling blood
A conglomerate of drawbacks
Has got my paralyzed and choking on my own tongue
Dammed up that rushing river flow
Stifling everything that I know, for now
The clock is ticking down and I
Can't control these rampant thoughts of mine
Polluted with your grime
This time, I'm done, I can't hold
I've been biting down for far too long and
I've got these holes in my lips
Patience and respiration won't do me no good
I try to remember every skipping stone must sink
And it's from this misunderstanding I could
Flush all the poisonous blood out from underneath my skin

Far from here
Is where she resides
I'm not quite sure where
She's told me twice
But see, I'm adrift; entwined
In her design
And for this one
I'll bide my time
But time ran out before I even had the chance
And now she's gone
It's as if it had never happened
My transient, ephemeral woman
It won't sink in
Before it's too late
My comprehension was delayed
And now I think of what could have been
And if she will feel the same
Thought back to where
I caught her stare as I moved by
So I returned only to see if I would again
It's ingenuous, I know

Hello pretty girl
With your face lit
From the flames ahead
I've got such a battered mine
And you healed it
It's such a joyful song
When she sings it
Now it's in my head
But the world's got me thinking
And it's such a petty world
When I'm next to you
So many avaristic minds that we live with
Hold me tight tonight
And let me just forget
They're crushing little worms
Can you feel it?
How long has it been?
And it's such a petty world
When I'm next to you
Baby girl you are my world
Under the rainbow lies
A little house that's filled with greater minds
There's far and few between, and hard to find
When being trifled by opulent types
And baby girl I know it's hard to try
Just sing with me, we'll be at peace tonight
Because inner peace is what we need to find
When outside is where destruction lies
But we're all the same

I stare, and all around that I see
From the clouds down to the trees
They all breath in in sync with me
And for the first time in my life
I feel like I'm a part
Of the Earth, the wind, the stars
There's a thought in my head you should know
But I can't seem to let it flow
You exhaled a funnel of smoke
We transcend and watch new lifeforms evolve
I hear, these colors speak to me
And whisper gently in my ear
"You're free, so live like it some more"
And for the first time in my life
I can feel my aching heart
Imploring me to start
Well, there's a thought in head you should know
And you do as you start to read my mind
There's no turning back now, we're in deep
So we dream without getting any sleep

Grips

Thinking of the words she spoke to me
And I'm still holding on to them
I'm thinking of the times we've spent together
But they've gone away
Thinking of the words she spoke to me
And I'm still holding on to them
I recollect the tone she delivered to me
But it fades away
She once told me that if you want to have peace
You best prepare for war
Looks like we've got a ways to go
These ramshackle hands and trebling knees are all I own
Thinking of the words she spoke to me
And they keep digging in deeper
Thinking of the times we've spent together
And they're gone for good
The time goes fast because I work so hard
And your words wont pass, but still I work so hard
Yet the sun won't last because I work so hard for free

Titicaca
02:53
|

|
Underneath the surface lies a temple of decay
What once flourished with life and soul flooded and washed away
I'm not going back
Destined to arise some day
Are the buried lies she hides away from all to see
(Hides away from all to see, submerged in self-sufficiency)
Well I guess it wasn't all that bad
But carrying your weight broke my back
And fucked with me
(Can't you see it broke my back, and it really fucked with me)
I'm not going back
I'm not going back
I've told too many of your lies for you and
I'm not going back
Titicaca's a metaphor for you
And i'm not going back
(Ca-ca, Titicaca)
One thing I've learned in life is,
This big world never stops spinning
And everything you said to me was
A little exaggerated
And it's no surprise to me that
Everything was a tragedy when
We got separated
But I'd do it again 'cuz you're
Drowning me
I've told too many of your lies for you and
I'm not going back
Titicaca's a metaphor for you
And i'm not going back
