Hidden Things

always tell, never show
always stop, never go
only when you say so
you get high when I’m low
all of these hidden things
these awakenings
it’s the same game every time
you dug the hole, you plant the seed
you left my curiosity
beside a desert road to bleed
you don’t know what you need
all of these hidden things
these awakenings
it’s the same game every time
I’m breaking up the colonies
pouring salt around the trees
sending the masters oversees
bringing them to their knees
all of these hidden things
these awakenings
it’s the same game every time

The Judas Tree
04:36
|
|

you could always see inside my darkness
and you could always find what you shouldn’t know
always looking for a way to begin leaving
always coming home eventually
what do I see?
the judas tree
you could always hear what I kept in silence
and you knew how to leave when you were lost inside
always looking for a way to begin leaving
always coming home eventually
what do I see?
the judas tree

Building Castles
03:36
|
|

hey, there you go again
chasing misery
like it was your only friend
you can turn a laugh into a cry
happiness to a sigh
heaven to depression
you’re building castles in the air again
you’re building pyramids to live within
hey, here you are again
seeking something new
at the end of the road
to where you’ve been
you return to the garden every night
bow your head to the sky
until the morning light
you’re building castles in the air again
you’re building pyramids to live within

Remade
03:36
|
|

they can’t win if you’re not falling
the line is dead but you can’t stop calling
and you wake up eyes screaming red
dry ice and water inside my head
I wonder how long bloodstains take to fade
I have been remade
I am remade
just like a loaded hand grenade
that has been mislaid
I am remade
it’s no dream the chips will fall where they may
it’s already late you should be on your way
you’re a lapdog layered with gold
digging for bones that you’ve already sold
you wonder why the tree won’t give you shade
I have been remade
I am remade
just like a loaded hand grenade
that has been mislaid
I am remade

Seeing Dreams
03:39

dreaming of a breeze
you’re on my mind again
while the water just keeps rising
my head was in the clouds
where I could barely breath
and where ashen arms wrapped around me
ghosts of green nativity ...
will the sun ever rise again?
will my eyes tear in the wind?
could we be as careless as we seem?
was it all just a dream?
I look up at the stars
there isn’t much to see
through the hazy air surrounding you and me
but when I’m in your arms
there’s nothing to regret
and the end of the world is easy to forget
ghosts of green nativity ...
will the sun ever rise again?
will my eyes tear in the wind?
could we be as careless as we seem?
was it all just a dream?

fireflies burning red
flittering around her head
a dreadful longing heavy inside me
but there ends the memory
losing my mind
like stolen time
a photograph to dwell upon
I used to know her, now she’s gone
losing my mind
like stolen time
cheap incense
this mortal coil
your body wrapped in candle shadow
so easy to forget the end of the world
the rush of blood
the parted lips
eclipsed the wounded all around us
so easy to forget the end of the world
a photograph to dwell upon
I used to know her, now she’s gone
losing my mind
like stolen time
all the rain that falls
like tears recalls
lives rising from the dust
they can’t contain us
you can’t contain us
with your pain and potions
sham devotions
spells designed to hide
all the good inside
every day, every night
every dark, every light
every dream, every one

In Blue
03:32
|
|

I’ve had enough
of living in blue
inside a world
created by you
(it’s my identity)
I’ve had enough
of living in blue
(it's my identity)
and she said ...
the writing on the wall
gives me a chance to prove
that my arrival can
make a moment’s difference to you
all that’s old is new
all that’s old is new
until the newness fades into the darkness, too
where everything’s designed to inspire
(it’s my identity)
nothing but jealousy and desire
(it’s my identity)
I’ve had enough ...
don’t tell me I’m owned
when I can see I’m free
to make the most of me
with every single image that I choose
all that’s old is new
all that’s old is new
until the newness fades into the darkness, too

Clear Skies Darkened
03:34
|
|

I couldn’t believe it
jawbone shattered on the floor
the specter of damaged goods
appears at my front door
clear skies become
darkened with cloud
and explosions
don’t mind me I’m
just thinking out loud
that my ship has run aground
I couldn’t deny it
please just make yourself at home
I know you won’t hesitate
to find your comfort zone
clear skies become
darkened with cloud
and explosions
don’t mind me I’m
just thinking out loud
that my ship has run aground
the sounds of spring fall from your lips
the drowning souls of crashing ships
clear skies become
darkened with cloud
and explosions
don’t mind me I’m
just thinking out loud
that my ship has run aground
looks like my ship has run aground

Rings of Saturn
05:08
|
|
||
I see a sea of sand
I know a wasted land
all this time
chasing raindrops underwater
and all this time
in your atmosphere
where all I do is burn
and endless turn
like rings of Saturn
I hear a flawless phrase
that I know no one plays
all this time
chasing raindrops underwater
and all this time
in your atmosphere
where all I do is burn
and endless turn
like rings of Saturn
