Broken Mantra
03:17
|
|||
|
Don’t forget to let the light in as you enter me
Harmony is hard to come by, excessively
Its not the words but all the madness that comforts me
The feeling never dies
In the fields and in the city it’s feeding time
The pain is like a contraceptive it keeps you high
A golden hand appears to touch you it must be sublime
The healing grace of time
But its too late to answer with your broken mantra
Countless hours pass before you like a sacred tide
Memories of a family, you left behind
Power lies in confrontation of the soul’s divine
And it’s conversation time
Has no one told this poor conductor its his symphony
Please excuse him he’s an outcast just like me
Cause I can’t stand another movement and honestly
Save it for the page
Cause its too late to answer with your broken mantra

Angels Voices
03:41
|

Angels voices coming from above
Same old situation you once loved
Searching for the princess on the run
She is painting pretty pictures in the sun
And her mother reading scriptures to her son inside her son
Speak those empathetic verses til you’re one
All you want is waiting in the wings
It reminds you of the pain that sorrow brings
Blasphemy begins to rear it’s head
Seven sacred sisters in your bed
In the winds of conversation
Much wiser men have said
Keep these dollars in your pocket
Not your head
Waiting on this symmetry
Is it right does it bleed for one
Seeing how the oldest wars were won
Soon the voices start to be the sound
Spilling down from heaven to the ground
Carefully arranged in harmony
While a beautiful tradition turns the key
But its not a conversation I can have without a toll
Cause its your body that they’re after not your soul

Lullaby
03:15
|
|||
|
Pardon me darlin’
If your hands are tied
Would you give me just one more try
To prove my love
Cause everybody knows
Which way your heart must go
And if you ever know
That you love somebody more than you love yourself
You gotta let em’ go
And we can go walking
Through the town at dawn
Take a look at this trip we’re on
It seems so real
But I’ve become so tame
Cause everybody knows your name
And if you feel the same
Oh just know that it wouldn’t be in vain
Cause it all depends if you
Can stomach the words I cry
Cause I’m crying, yeah I’m crying
For you
And it might offend someone
To saddle on a horse of blue
Cause im bleedin’ yeah im bleedin’
im bleedin’ oh im bleedin’
For you

I’d Love you
If I could love you
The way that you need
Yeah I’d love you
If I could love you
The way that you need
You’d love me
If you could love me
The way that I need
Yeah you’d love me
If you could love me
The way that I need
Cause I lie here in the bank
Tryin ta wait for you
Oh what a sight to see
Oh what a sight to see
Cause I’d love you
If I could love you
The way that you need
Yeah I’d love you
If I could love you
The way that you need
Cause I lie here in the bank
Turned away from you
Oh what a sight to see
Oh what a sight to see
Oh what a sight to see

Good Tidings
03:36
|

|
Lucky to be the one
Who answers when you call
Who’ll catch you when you fall
Lucky to be the one
You dance with in the park
Romance with in the dark
So lucky to be by your side
So lucky I feel I could cry
So lucky I think I could die
Good tidings
Good tidings to you
Good tidings will come
When I see you
Its hard to recognize what you’re going through
When you’re feeling like a stranger blue
And fair enough you don’t know what you should do
But ill always try and pull you through
So help me I’ll stay by your side
So help me I’ll stay til I die
So help me I feel I might cry

Fallin'
02:48
|

|
Fallin’ in love is a crime
Of one I am guilty again and again
if Fallin in love is a crime you say
I will commit it day after day
Cause ive been a child on the wings of a smile
But thats over now to the ground
And lately Ive heard you’ve met better men
But you didn’t want them around
Oh cause falling in love it a crime
Whoah
oh if fallin in love is a crime you see
I will commit it eternally
Cause you be heaven I’ll be earth
Watch us flirt as one
You be islands in the snow
But won’t you follow me downtown
Won’t you follow me downtown
Where the old Volvos go
I’ll be around

Save Love
02:57
|
|||
|
Finding it hard to be on your own
In sickness and health
You need somebody else
Leaving it all to hang out on the line
You bleed like a cat
Your mother showed you that
So bear with me
When your parts are going backwards
In this symphony
The arrangements in this time
They make no sense to me
Our relationship is strained
So let it go
Can you save love
Can you save love
Can you save love
Save love
Drink what you want and protect who you will
You think it will last
Will you have another glass
Lettin it bleed in the light of the stone
Its not your first time
Oh but you don’t seem to mind
So bear with me
When your thoughts are going backwards
its simplicity and magic will adhere to eccentricity
Our relationship is strained so let it go, you know
But can you save love
Can you save love
Can you save love
Save love
Today

God
03:09
|

Playing god is getting hard
When I’m drunk all time
Taste my blood it tastes of wine
And letting go is hard to do
Cause im a part of you
But holding on is danger too
I laid it down for all to see
Underneath that moonlit tree
I called you one too many times
Now im on this faded ride
You’ll be the strings on my guitar
The wheels on a classic car
All my life I drove too far
And when you dance Im dancing too
But only if you want me to
Cause ive got nothing more to do
I laid it down for all to see
Underneath that moonlit tree
I called you one too many times
Now im on this faded ride
Never taste that heart sublime
Its a man I must define
Maybe I should take the time

Still Love
03:40
|
|||
|
Time takes the picture
And you return the favour
If you’re able
The payments on the table
In love
And we hold on dearly
Through this night im falling
Like a stone rose in passion
Sometimes our love
Is still love
Trust its hard to come by
But you know it when you see it
And it never appears when you need it
In love
Oh it burns so brightly
Through the both of us
But its so hard to handle
Sometimes our love
Is still love
Cause ive found the time
To give away that hopeless rhyme
And if you walk away walk away
I will follow
And do you have the mind to remember
what it meant
So please don’t walk away walk away
walk away this time
Like to take you on the town
Your diamond legs and velvet gown
You’re up in sails
Love to hold you all the time
You’re sick in daze
and its killing mine
You’re up in sails
Something takes your breath away
You’re wishing it was yesterday
Lust will life you miles above
But you fall to your knees for this love
And well stay together
But through this night im falling
Like a stone rose in passion
Lovin those stones
And it burns forever
So if you’re on your way
One thing to remember
Darling, our love
Is still love
