Worth It All

Oh I try and I try but it never came by but that’s okay, I got better things coming my way
Oh lord, my dear, how long have I been here? Only you would know
but I’m the only one who can show you
Is this the goodbye then again I’ll ask why, I found the door
I’m running out and you’re running in
All I have is all I need
No matter if I beg or plead
And in the end it will
Be worth it all
You say no, I say yes and leave maybe to the rest, the smallest action
is always better than the best of intentions
I leaned in with my ears and it takes only two years to learn how to speak
and a whole life to learn how to shut up
and with that now I know, what to make and what to show so now I wait
for the right time to give it out
All I have is all I need
No matter if I beg or plead
And in the end it will
Be worth it all
Is this the goodbye then again I’ll ask why, the eye goes blind when it doesn't want to see why
Think twice, do it right but you still gotta put up that fight
Now carry on
because tomorrow never knows
All I have is all I need
No matter if I beg or plead
And in the end it will
Be worth it all

Now watch my fingertips
as I’m getting dressed
and then you will notice
I haven’t moved them yet
I took that little red lighter
and melted away the frayed
I don’t want to see you later
I best be on my way
and all my 6 degrees too
Hey look I’m not that far
a few introductions and a wait
the difference of jour et nuit
made my eyes dilate
and all my 6 degrees too
Damned if you do damned if you don't
I’m not gonna say that I won't
To many people I can say that I made you cry
but I never remember why
and all my 6 degrees too

This will probably implode in flames and for sure as shooting I'm excited for that day
no one wants to swim I’ll get a fever going out on a limb can’t choose one yet either
I got somethin for ya babe
To take down whatever's in my way
Take what you want from the words I say
That won’t change the fever for you
Confounded themselves childlike to their age selfless yet selfish welcome to last parade
all the bones I painted are covered by skin where are you going and where have you been?
Withholding imitation is suicide
many mistake it for a lack of pride
make believe and pretend how
nobody can touch me now
I got somethin for ya babe
To take down whatever's in my way
Take what you want from the words I say
That won’t change the fever for you
With my fractured rib and broken door
I surrender to the kiss-up who they pronounce as whore
I got somethin for ya babe
To take down whatever's in my way
Take what you want from the words I say
That won’t change the fever for you

I want you
To tell me what's on your mind
You can kill the man but you can't kill the idea that ran off on its own
We built upon a dream that belted out itself now let us maintain unity
My brothers and sisters tell me the glory your eyes have seen
I want you
To tell me what's on your mind
We promise to
Put our fists to the sky
And carry on til’ the end of time
Evil ain’t nothing compared to those who don’t say a thing
Deep in my heart I do believe in someday
what‘s normal for the spider is bedlam for the fly
With misconception as the divider we have to question why
I want you
To tell me what's on your mind
We promise to
Put our fists to the sky
And carry on til’ the end of time
These names should never be left untouched
The bombs dropped will always explode at home
We don’t have, we don't have to hate
I’m so thankful to be able to ask why and still keep my life
I want you
To tell me what's on your mind
We promise to
Put our fists to the sky
And carry on til’ the end of time

What's Done Is Done

Now look around you're on the ground made of sound/don’t forget to intertwine the time passing by
I may be to late once again and again for the second time we both have the upper hand don’t you dare tell me to get back in line
The oldest human in the town has been born where might you find me you’re trying to prove you're made of gold then you notice you’re already being sold
Human curiosity how bad can it really be we know it's gotta hurt to some degree I like how you smile for me
I know too well, I guess you will pay the price, they say they love you then go off and tell that same lie twice
You give them a dollar to borrow, you think they’d give you a rest, I’m telling you now, expect 15 cents back at best
This is what I get for trying to be close to a god I don’t believe in, what do you want baby take it from the heart, I am the threshold of til’ death do us part
People ask me who will be forgiven, well who’s gonna forgive? You can’t even look me in the eye to face the fact that love is blind
Whatever you promised, whatever you’ve done, in the name of the father/ in the name of the sun
No matter how elaborate your life has become, who not thou in heaven but under the sun
The flesh of a hornet fly, a buffalo in winter time, call it what you want but I know in my gut what it is not
Cut my hair, cut my hair, spoke a testament of hope, resolute I'm coming through and you can bet your ass I’ll be there too

Non-Photo Blue
03:36
|

|
When you walk you have a way
When you talk you know what to say
All the times we spent just shutting up
Makes me believe there is something to this love
You ever get that feeling after time stands still
It says to you don’t let this freak you out
One thing I know to be true
is Non-Photo Blue
Nobody knows what the future holds
I believe in some days and running shirtless in the cold
Colors of television tuned to dead channels
And the white noise my mind chooses to dismantle
Does space ever remind you what this is all about
At the same time says don't let this freak you out
One thing I know to be true
is Non-Photo Blue
I live in being yours, at least somehow
And invest whatever my heart will allow
Things have a way of falling into place
And yet we all have something our gut chooses to efface
Do your thoughts ever take you on a dangerous rout
And at the same time says don’t let this freak you out
One thing I know to be true
is Non-Photo Blue

What Is My Name
04:43
|

Top heavy, overdrawn, upset, nice try, what you want is gone
The statues payed with their heads saints aren’t only missing but guaranteed dead
Its pushing on the back of my eye, I’m biting through the tongue that is tied
Cut down the back and dislocate the spine, the feelings that you feel are becoming mine
Respect came from and to south, you don't have to explain what you’re talking about
The mirror man lives in the mirror house, he’s got a throat but he ain’t got no mouth
Read over actions with a standing ovation, some are pallbearers with no invitation
If you open the coffin, there it’ll be rotten, who’s to say the name won’t be forgotten
Your life will not wait
But what difference does it make
You can wrap my brain in plastic
I don’t think much will change
Now I propose the question, what’s my name
Who the hell is impressed by you, will they or won’t they, do they even want too
Change my name to something new, and something new is the only thing I will answer too
I promise I won’t lie, just don’t ask any questions
We got two sides and they’re both friends, one drives a DeLorean, the other stole a Benz
Your life will not wait
But what difference does it make
You can wrap my brain in plastic
I don’t think much will change
Now I propose the question, what’s my name
Say my name to put a blister on your tongue
As you breathe out the air will puncture your lung
Point your finger for the end to eat shame
As for me, I know you’re name
Your life will not wait
But what difference does it make
You can wrap my brain in plastic
I don’t think much will change
Now I propose the question, what’s my name

Lapierre, Bianchi
Cervelo, Campegnello
Cup of tea, wanna be
Shake my hand
How much is enough for your plan
I know you understand
Shake my hand
Marionette, armour
Bon vivian bambino
Annoncer Picasso
Gaudi bizarre
(Ah bien sin Corvette
Madame says au revoir
Ticket metro forget
Esto o esta)
Shake my hand
How much is enough for your plan
I know you understand
Shake my hand
Catacombes here I go
My love was sent to death row
A propos, I’ll stay
The teeth are carried away
when the goin’ gets harder than the goin’ gets
You’re gonna wanna put somethin’ like god to the test
And when whatever you did gets gone and you get it all out
Now you really get to feel what life’s all about
Shake my hand
How much is enough for your plan
I know you understand
Shake my hand

Yellow Paint
05:29

The man is painting the window dark, dark red, almost black
He stepped away to get a good look at his work but he saw me through so off to
painting he went back
I am on the telephone with 1-800-GOT-A-CASE-OF-THE-BLUES
They hung up on me when I said, “Aren’t you?” and someone was complaining
about the news
I couldn’t believe my tired eyes when I saw in the paper right next to the used cars
for sale, it said the working man has died
Turns out all of his house inside was painted that dark, dark red from pillows to
inside the washing machine
People asking all around what's the cause of his death
My dear dear mother just lost a high school friend
Autopsy said he ate yellow paint with a note saying ‘this made me happy instead’
Many people thought of him as a mad man consuming toxins like champagne
but I have noticed he’s smart enough to know the consequence
He had found a greater risk and took the small chances he had because he knew
there were chances for everything, even a chance of happiness

Miss If I Were
03:18
|

People stare at me framed, back against the wall
I can’t change my look but I am looking at them all
and man their eyes are small
And I turn to face myself and I can hear her say
We denounce godspeed, to whom may plea please tell me what do you see
Do you feel the ache, must this retake whatever you thought it turns opaque
Admire me, conspire greed when will they expire me
Too hard to make, too safe to take my artist said suicide was a big mistake
Do not clean up the edges, they are already dry
If you tear the canvas, the critics, they will cry
I will stay in maybe one place, taking up so much space
And I turn to face myself and I can hear him say
We denounce godspeed, to whom may plea please tell me what do you see
Do you feel the ache, must this retake whatever you thought it turns opaque
Admire me, conspire greed when will they expire me
Too hard to make, too safe to take my artist said suicide was a big mistake
Tell me your thoughts on god and draw me a picture of what you saw
It doesn't matter what you do, someone will always say that you’re wrong
we have been waiting much too long
and
Honesty without regret, probably my best bet
The light reflects off me into your head
Make up what you will of the colors and shapes instead
We denounce godspeed, to whom may plea please tell me what do you see
Do you feel the ache, must this retake whatever you thought it turns opaque
Admire me, conspire greed when will they expire me
Too hard to make, too safe to take my artist said suicide was a big mistake
Say solo with the door closed so you can’t know that I was there
I’m modern romantic, nouveau, deco, classism, why not neo?

Living Sound

Baby’s crawling to me
With tiny feet and unproportionate head
Don’t touch my shoes baby
They’re dirty and you’re gonna get sick
And I begin to ask the baby questions
Like hey what's going on
How you liking the first 8 months
And what you gonna do when all the money's gone
And the reaction goes
With the notion that I am welcome
Hey baby baby will you wake up at 3am and
Put them to the test
speak and push them to confess
With heart in chest
Round and round
Don't let them bring you down
You got your two feet on the ground
My friend you are living sound
There you go crawling on the disgusting floor
Prove to me more or less than before
You are so lovely and you know this to be true
To young to ask questions but you still know what to do
What an unfortunate event
To be born under the same sign as A. king
You don't need experience
When you taught me everything
Electrical tape stuck to my face
I’m hanging from the door frame *sane*
Uncertainty turned its clean face to us and said
“I don't like you one bit”
And the reaction goes
With the notion that I am welcome
Hey baby baby will you wake up at 3am and
Put them to the test
speak and push them to confess
With heart in chest
Round and round
Don't let them bring you down
You got your two feet on the ground
My friend you are living sound
Its okay to hate nothing at all
Even for reasons great or small
To be of which the heart withdrawals
You decide what to do with the call
If you lose yourself you will reappear
Even with a voice unclear
You can stand alone no body near
You will understand there’s nothing to fear
And the reaction goes
With the notion that I am welcome
Hey baby baby will you wake up at 3am and
Put them to the test
speak and push them to confess
With heart in chest
Round and round
Don't let them bring you down
You got your two feet on the ground
My friend you are living sound

Just because you’re bigger than me
doesn't mean you’re better than me
Never refuse to know, I don’t have to agree
C’mon and get off your knees
Don’t beg take what you need
I won’t pay for a world for greed
It’s all a violent force feed don’t you know
what to breed?
To make me think it was alright
and falsely testify
Believe me it’s not that easy to misidentify
You cut out the window seal
and took the easy way out
Why are you so full of doubt?
Eight days no water and you’re still alive
Desecrate and you’ll still revive
It was all you
but you said you’d believe me anyway
I think your problem has a solution
Put all your anger into revolution
Confined in more than an institution
Please stop talking you’re just noise pollution
To make me think it was alright
and falsely testify
Believe me it’s not that easy to misidentify
You cut out the window seal
and took the easy way out
Why are you so full of doubt?
