Threading Through a Hole

Wait and see
I'm hoping on a sunday
for you to be always a part of everything that's nonsense
Do me and all a simple thing
Do me and all a simple favor
Take us down to battle
Threading through a hole
A sign of easy miracles
on his luck
I'm getting a chance to be at the closing tomorrow
I'm betting an excellently placed spot in the shallows
Ultimately now the perfect stop
Front row to a wake
I'm here blue and white fading
Why should I stay?
It's all clear
Caving into sea and gasping
not desperately but calmly
I'm kindly asking for the shade
worth the wait
and before the face that takes a man
and chains him to a resting place
finally rising from the waves
worth the wait
Take us down to battle
threading through a hole
a sign of easy miracles
Take us down to battle
I'm threading through a whole asylum
for a man down on his luck

Miracle Man

Once I begin,
Only silence please
Gather all the wax and matches
place it in the hole to light it
This one spot
when it's hot, it's magic
Now pass me the page that I wanted
and hand me the basket that I planted
it holds the soul's seeds
Libri muti tyranis sunt
Nescis quid serus vesper vehat
Doesn't matter
I'm here now
show me
Now kindle a message at my feet
this time without a warning
light a fire
save me
Out of the way
make space for the smoke
make way now!
Soon I will breathe
Soon I will breathe
You will believe
and I will be free
free to...
didn't work, try again
I expect the one that I
two expect the two that I
three expect the three that I
four expect the four that I
I expect the spiritual I expect the spiritual
I expect a miracle I expect a miracle
Make space for the smoke
make way now!
I expect the spiritual
I expect a miracle

Wise Old Rattlesnake

Don't need a reason to include you
and this time I'm not playing the pronoun game.
So get excited for the future
and stop looking at yourself.
The satisfaction when I broke that silver wall
casting back bits and pieces of a shattered harmony.
and my impression of forever took a dive into the
deepest coldest hopeless trenches waiting in the darkness.
Send me a wise old rattlesnake
so I can listen to his words.
Send me a wise old rattlesnake
so I can listen to his words.
Traveling this golden road and hiding my shadow from
chasing the sun off this beautiful destruction.
Traveling this golden road and hiding my shadow from
chasing the sun off this beautiful destruction
beautiful destruction
beautiful destruction
beautiful destruction
Send me a wise old rattlesnake
so I can listen to his words.
Send me a wise old rattlesnake
so I can listen to his words.
I don't need a reason to include you.
I've got my own holy grail.
He said "I'm invited and I'm welcome to belong."
I said no, this is my story I tell
and I must go
into the deepest coldest hopeless trenches waiting in the darkness.
Traveling this golden road and hiding my shadow from
chasing the sun off this beautiful destruction.
Traveling this golden road and hiding my shadow from
chasing the sun off this beautiful destruction

The Edge of Space
04:17
|

I got other plans for you
you've got other plans for me
so I don't see why I gotta stay here knowing
pieces of my soul are missing
Standing on a pedestal
I've become a circus beast
you a Ringmaster and me submissive
I'm giving all I understand
but heavy on my shoulders lie
a sleeping time-bomb on a mission
Of all the love you crave
you gotta give some
All your honesty
a work of fiction
I'm on the way to embrace
a silence as blissful
as the emptiness that fills you
in the bottom of a lake
I'm on the edge of that space
drowning I reach for
sentimental words that whisper
an escape
blinded
always side blinded
I'm on the way to embrace
a silence as blissful
as the emptiness that fills you
in the bottom of a lake
I'm on the edge of that space
drowning I reach for
sentimental words that whisper
an escape

The Still Life
04:51
|

Don't wanna be called a hero
I don't wanna allow to take still life that I embrace
I'll see myself as the villain
even if it means more rest
in a still life that I embrace
Walled in my simple dark domain
the truth of the riddle is what remains
of a limbo
I find within this canvas of a still life that I embrace
The still life that I embrace

Bridge Unexpected
05:09

When is the time to know I'm better off
on the line or on the tip of my toes?
who knows or decides how I can tune out
and bite the pride
Listen through a window
for my deepest most honest confessions
absolved
Aching alarm designed to signal a breaking
amends of all the promises
torn and thrown across
Listen through a window
for my deepest most honest confessions
absolved
Only one sensible conclusion
but willing to refute all that has been written since then
Well your machine of no omissions
ravages my wishes
hungry for a sin
Listen through a window
for my deepest most honest confessions
absolved
Listen through a window
for my deepest most honest confessions
absolved
bridge unexpected
(waiting for a man to cross)
Using remedies to kill the pain
Losing memories to be again absolved
Losing memories to be again absolved

Branded Demon's Son
04:26
|

I can go the distance that you wanna go
I can be your shimmering knight of gold
I can move an ocean from a shore
I can be your branded demon's son
I can be your branded demon's son
I can be the summit if you wanna go high
I wanna know when you're satisfied
I can be your branded demon's son
I can be your branded demon's son
I wanna be your medicine man
I wanna be the only one
I can be a river if you wanna flow
I can be a waterfall into the unknown
I can be your branded demon's son
I can be your branded demon's son
I can be the image of your cloud nine
I wanna know when you're satisfied
I can be your branded demon's son
I can be your branded demon's son
I wanna be your medicine man
I wanna be the only one
I can be a shoulder when you rather cry
I can be a shadow when you wanna goodbye
I can be an angel
I can be the firefly that you see in the dark
when you're searching
when you're searching
I can be a memory to which you hold on
I can be a speck of dust in the sun
I can be close at hand
I can be miles away
I can be the firefly that you see in the dark
when your'e searching
when you're searching for a way to express
these waves of emotions
I can be the summit if you wanna go high
I wanna know when you're satisfied
I can be your branded demon's son
I can be your branded demon's son
I can make you sing at the top of your lungs
I can make you shiver down into your bones
I can be your branded demon's son
I can be your branded demon's son
I can be the firefly that you see in the dark
when your'e searching
when you're searching

Diamonds Bright
05:04

King of a hollowed hill,
king of nothing.
Filled with good intentions
but empty chances.
Used to be a fire,
used to be sought after,
a guiding light!
But now the flame's expired.
Blossom in disguise
wishing to be seen.
It isn't quite the story to believe.
Frozen to a window in a storm,
knocking on a figment of a door.
Waiting for the last bit to fall so
when it's time for me I pick up.
Lining up for sinking
I volunteered the lynch
ripping off a mile when I gave an inch.
Nickel and dimed an old man
with pockets full of gold and
fed me to the lions like the Romans.
I hope you got your diamonds bright.
I hope you got your diamonds bright.
Take my heart like the Mayans
and color me surprised
for not sacrificing collapsing the mine.
Now I'm just a fossil, iced-pressurized.
I hope you got your diamonds bright.
Blossom in disguise
wishing to be seen.
It isn't quite the story to believe.
Frozen to a window in a storm,
knocking on a figment of a door.
Doing right has left me nothing.
Oh I hope you got your diamonds bright.
Blossom in disguise
wishing to be seen.
It isn't quite the story to believe.
Frozen to a window in a storm,
knocking on a figment of a door.
Doing right has left me nothing.
I hope you got your diamonds.
Doing right has left me nothing.
I hope you got your diamonds.
Doing right has left me nothing.
I hope you got your diamonds bright.

Springtime Closer
06:24
|

Blooming on the first day
and I'm thirsty for new rain
Unnatural urges that don't seem to remember
the fate the fate
But the wind can't compete
with the current of the seas
that's always on time to take me another way
always on time to take me another way
always on time to take me another way
it's no use if I'm holding on
to a single falling thread
and in a matter of the lifetime
it takes to desire the cure and the poison
are blowing away
But the wind can't compete
with the current of the seas
that's always on time to take me another way
always on time to take me another way
always on time to take me to another place
I'll take another way
take another way
I'll take another way
take another way to find it
I'll take another way to find it
and if it comes to be
another fantasy
I'll sail away
I'll take another way to find it
