She

She
She draws my eyes like explosions of fire
She
She's got a decoder ring in her pocket
She
She's already been through my laundry and garbage
So there is nothing to fear
there is nothing to fear
there is nothing to fear
because she already knows all about it
She
She is dancing on swords and machine guns
She's got it all
If she sees it, then she's got to have one
You
You've got not a single defense, you can forget it, son!
For she will tear you apart
she will tear you apart
she will tear you apart
as a reward when you have won
She
She crafts the stars while you stare in silence
She
She's weaving a glittering scroll of papyrus
She's all I see
She's all that I see when I close my eyelids
and I would take her to bed
Yes, I would take her to bed
Oh, I would take her to bed...
but she'd be the pilot

Perpendicular Lines
04:11
|
|||
the Sky is filled with Perpendicular Lines all the time, now
but The People below are Looking Down at their phones
and nobody sees them at all
Oh the World has gotten Very Strange
I no longer recognize most of the things people say to me
Oh so many seem to have no sense of self
Without a Purpose, they're hoarding material things in search of wealth;
we've forgotten The Source of Things
and the Sky is filled with Perpendicular Lines all the time, now
but The People below are Looking Down at their phones
and nobody notices at all
Oh the World has gotten Very Strange
so much stranger than I ever remember it being before
Oh but maybe it's always been this way
Maybe we chose This Path before we were born
but the Sky is filled with Perpendicular Lines all the time, now
but The People below that just Look Down at their phones
they can't see The Picture at all
I can feel a change comin'
I believe a change is comin'
I can feel a change comin'
There has to be a change comin';
The Wheel still spins around...
but the Sky is filled with Perpendicular Lines all the time, now
but The People below that just Look Down at their phones
they can't see The Picture at all
and the Sky is filled with Perpendicular Lines all the time, now
and The Image revealed is a Miraculous Field;
it's the greatest creation of all
and the Sky is filled with Perpendicular Lines all the time, now
and The Image revealed is a Magnetic Field;
it's the greatest creation of all

Empty House
05:52
|
|||
I've been working and working... so hard
but the fruits of my labors are gone
I've been working on working it out
but something still feels wrong
Still trying to Pay The Rent
Still trying to Pay My Dues
Still trying to Do My Best
Still end the day... feeling used
Lately something's tearing at the seams
A burning coal inside of me reveals my inner dreams
Please, give me just an hour to explain;
we aren't meant to ignore the pain;
we collapse and then rise again
In my Empty House, I've seen you walking by
Neighbors cast away their eyes
I'm filled with useless alibis
I wish that you would stop and say hi
I wish that I could stay high
Lately something's tearing at the seams
A burning coal inside of me reveals my inner dreams
Please, give me just an hour to explain;
we aren't meant to ignore the pain;
we collapse and then rise again
