Explode

Face your direction
Exploding into space you’re everywhere
By the time you’ve made up your mind
I could be shining by the light of another’s moon
Are you coming soon
I have electric dreams
In them you live inside of me Rewiring everything
To make me end where you begin
You’re not making me mad
You’re making me crazy
Can’t bear all of these thoughts
So I run to my daydreams
Emit like radio waves
You’re loud and clear I hear you everywhere
Dreams no longer keep me
Sleep escapes the night because you’re everywhere
By the time you’ve made up your mind
I could be shining by the light of another’s moon
Are you coming soon

Swept Away

Restless like an unplayed piano
You say I’m strange
But I don’t know
Maybe I just live a million miles above
Maybe I’m just too absurd for words
I’m swept away
Who’d ever thought that I’d love you
Quite as much as I do
Could it be I never looked so deep inside
Could it be there’s nothing left to hide
I’m swept away
I can hear your dreams across the distance
Restive screaming technicolor pictures of the god you once were
Undefined yet concrete
Keeping cool upon the hot seat
I never asked for any guarantees
I thought by morning I was free to leave
I’m swept away

Depraved Heart Murderer

Pandora keeps a little box
Inside are all her wild thoughts
She stores them deep inside her soul
If you have to ask you do not need to know
Don’t fill my glass up one more time
Unless you plan to stay a while
Someday I’ll meet someone like you
Hope its not someone like you
A depraved heart murderer
Now you’ve got my severed head
Dangerous and reckless yet
Drums and thunder sounding long
Should have left you at Club 21
I fall for it every time
Steal my heart then feed my mind
Once inside it's hard to leave
The grip of someone’s make believe
I fall for it every time
Depraved heart murderer
Now you’ve got my severed head
Negligent and reckless yet
I heard you confessed in the night
And I’m told you shed tears of delight

New Page

Falling all over again
Nowhere’s safe to land
I couldn’t face you then
Don’t make me remember when
I tripped on my own wires
Too young to know desire
I’d turn away
Thought I forgave yesterday
It took one bit of truth
Mercy gave me one last look
Where part of me has always stood
I’d write that same story
I’d live all those same days
But I’d change the ending
And I’d write a new page
Emotions that fight you Aren’t me
They fight me too
They’re so good
So misunderstood
You’re aging eyes will adjust
I strongly sense you must feel crazy
Or a little amazing
You reached me at the wrong time
Those streets we walked
Have left our side
They bow down now
To new lace shoes
We left our footsteps
But kept no clues
I’d write that same story
I’d live all those same days
But I’d change the ending
And I’d write a new page
Look inside this mind
You won’t find that I’m alone
It's a strange world
Beyond the known
Steadfast and resolved
Take deep breaths to solve
I can’t lose
To love again

Little Parties

|
All my love I poured into you
For all time and you always knew
You could sense I’d not gone far
Did you know I’d catch your falling star
I’m burning in your head
Pull away, pull away, pull away
Drawing breath
Nothing’s left
Pull away
This is hot to the touch
Burn away, burn away, burn away
Fan flames of desire
Burn away
I don’t watch rerun movies
Don’t care much for little parties
Don’t need the radio dial
Just want to see you here again
I want to kiss your lips again
I want to sing that song we sang
I’ve thrown away the TV
Entertain me
Crystal clear
Growing fear
Draw away, draw away, draw away
Foolish hearts, false starts
Draw away
How do you keep me here
Run away, run away, run away
Everything's so wrong
Run away
Losing ground not a sound
Hush away, hush away, hush away
Disappear, drawing near
Hush away
