When The Heart Resigns
04:30
|
|||
|
back at the start, I float again
from high as a kite and sheets to the wind
fighting the time stumble around
the spirals of flight I've tumbled down
what’s in the wait? it's hard to know
it's my need to stay and my need to go
if you love hard you risk sinking in
down and apart trying to say when
what do you do when the heart resigns?
with all that gone and left behind
what do you do with the time?
freedom climb
free the mind
so back to ones alone and unwound
a chest here that beats with no other sound
so back to ones I start again out of the heart and into the wind
away from the pack a lone wolf begins
what do you do when the heart resigns?
with all that's gone and left behind
what do you do with the time?
freedom climb
free the mind
when you're not open, you flip your signs

Just Breathe
04:20

here's another cold day
in that old november way
once again it's begin
I'm stuck and
out astray
and you came in like a wave
through the same paled grin, I gave
just breathe
just breathe
and the gulp's from the gut
I'm flat on the floor
there's no use riding waves
crashed to the shore
disaster paths' aftermaths
one spash
to the ground
and I'm at best an island
and you're an ocean
you surround
and you came in like a wave
through the same pale grin, I gave
I can just breathe
just breathe
I can just breathe
just breathe
just breathe

No Smoke, No Gun
04:09
|

with the I’s on the prize to begin
the sentences of the states they're in
to find their kind, a penchant for the win
but the length of try is only deep as skin
when I dreamed somebody into life
and how they'd fit mine
I don't know why I dreamed all but the eyes
and the lucid dreams stay longer than the night
and you are just an ornamental one
I'm a serenade undone
you are just an ornamental one
so soon you're gone
no smoke, no gun
through all the eyes and all the lies no waste in time
just the things that decorate the life
but to waste tries and to blur lines
on then which you do rely
barely ever things come as surprise
when you are just an ornamental one
a serenade undone
when you are just an ornamental one
so soon you're gone
no smoke no gun
I have truths but I've played parts and I've told lies
I eat the fact, played hearts, I realize
I've grown to know, it's no surprise
I now know why I dreamed all but the eyes
I dreamed all but the eyes ‘cause it takes all kinds to make this world, I find
it takes all kinds to make this world, I find
it takes all kinds to make this world, I find
it takes all kinds to make this world, I find
when you are just an ornamental one
a serenade undone
when you are just an ornamental one
so soon you're gone
no smoke no gun

Sweet Dream Sleeper
03:34
|
|||
|
rest your bones
your day is done
your gentle soul
on the run
close your eyes
hop skip and jump
on the lam
and over hump
you're never gonna get that far
you're never gonna reach part of your heart
you sweet dream sleeper
you never gonna reach that high
you never gonna see if love’s nearby
you sweet heart keeper
With a heart like a hammer
thump de dum thump thump thump
Chase your dreams
through your nightmares
Mean your words
and say your prayers
You left your mind
go pale and numb
locked your heart
out in cold blood
you never wanna reach that high
you never wanna see if love’s nearby
you sweet heart keeper
you're never gonna get that far
you're never gonna reach part of your heart
my sweet dream sleeper
with a heart like a hammer
thump de dum thump thump thump
dreams aren’t as weak as we are
the mind’s not as weak as the heart
sleep my little sweet among the stars
you're never gonna get that far
you're never gonna reach part of your heart
my sweet dream sleeper
you never wanna reach that high
you never wanna see if love’s nearby
my sweet heart keeper
On the lam and you’re in the dark
you’re never gonna get close to your heart
my sweet dream sleeper
my sweet dream sleeper
with a heart like a hammer
thump de dum thump thump thump

There Is Nothing
02:52
|

|
overwhelmed
under swept away
things that we can but we won't really say
two things are enough for me to know
you want to leave and I can see how you'd go
we'd find the part
if we looked too deep
but two hearts like ours
are better left to their own mystery
and if you think you're better left alone
well if you want to leave, I can see how you'd go
cause there's nothing to find here
there's nothing to find here
at least it is not making itself very clear
there is nothing
there is nothing
a heart'll stop if the blood runs too thin
and we're caught and we're stuck
in the thick of our own skin
the second times are what makes you go slow
so if you want to leave
I can see how you'd go
cause there's nothing to find here
there's nothing to find here
at least it is not making itself very clear
there's nothing to find here
there is nothing
there is nothing

a picture of yourself
armed with all you'll know
stabbing through the dark
for a place to go
it's the pages it's the past
it's the roots that trip that grow
search yourself for something
for something you've not done
bothered off and living
a life of your own
in the city where convenience
is the throw of a stone
how are you supposed to know
how you are supposed to go
so you take to living
living is all you`ve got
dodge the fake and fiending
and all the things you're not
all the love you'd give
but your heart's still un-caught
how are you supposed to know
how you are supposed to go
if you'd take the time to cut once you measure twice
to find out the best things to know
a dream in rewind like you're a man of the mice
to find out the best way to go
wouldn't that be nice if you could cut once you measured twice?
how are you supposed to know how you are supposed to go

I am everything you want
because I'm everything at once
with that said I sit and poetically wax
I do think
I think of leaving halifax
such a tiredness through time
like ink to waste a thousand lines
if I think of everything that any one thing lacks
I do think
I think of leaving halifax
but the last thing I want
is any one here's pity
all that I want
is between me and this city
this will happen in a town so small
a man ill at ease, if at ease at all
if all these years can't give me a reason to relax
I just found one
to leave halifax
I think of leaving halifax
(I think I'm leaving halifax)
yes I think
I think I'm leaving halifax

Stuck In The Middle
03:09
|
|||
|
slow down let the feeling pass
make a second last
to deny the future the past
is to throw away the map and ignore the tracks
a moment's mortal creature breaks the hour glass
stuck in the middle and I lost my map
to mention is to last
tension is a cast
sense, in its present tense
clear and steadfast
so slow down, as if you’re asked
rise above your mass
to be not your future
to be not your past
to be not your future
to be not your past
stuck in the middle and I lost my map
within regalement
i’ll find a regal ideal
if there's a reason here to find
in this moment of mine
there’s a reason here to get
if I'm not dead yet
stuck in the middle and I lost my map

The Swing Song
03:29

I hope you don't mind
if I stay a little more time
cause without warning it's 1 in the morning and I
I've been wondering what it is that you're wanting tonight
when you swing your little swing
you swing your little swing
swing your little swing
swing your little swing
you little player in the mind
feels just like there's so little's on the line
that's when it starts then there's a wink there's a pardon and I
I'm good for the night cause there's something so new and so right
when you swing your little swing
you swing your little swing

Fight For Your Castle
05:44
|
|||
|
if we had it our way
you'd come to our home to make yours
the moat as the ocean
our dreams the oars
fight for the kingdom boys
maybe one day we'll make it home
fight for your castle
make your home
what sets us aside
besides that god damned Cabot strait
is what keeps me alive
and what makes me wait
for money or love
or whatever's sent from above
at least I'm something
from someone else
and that keeps me alive and that makes me wait
it keep me alive and makes me wait
it keeps me alive
and makes me wait
my mama said you go and work for your money, son
but more for yourself
you take that and you run
make your money son, but love yourself
and that keeps me alive and makes me wait
it keeps me alive
and me wait
it keeps me alive
and makes me wait
from a green little acre
from the valley of the wind
to the places i'll go
and the ones I've been
i'll fight the kingdom
wherever I might roam
and i'll for my castle
i'll make a home
fight for your castle
make your home
but fight for the kingdom
make it home
fight for the kingdom, make it home
fight for the kingdom, boys, make it home
fight for kingdom
make it home
