Hard passage north
Bow breaking ice
Who's heard of Jack Frost playing nice?
Dogs on a team
Tight to the rein
Staring at me like I'm insane
They see us lost in whiteout
So far gone
Never again
Again
If we could just communicate
The fear would melt away
No cold
Could hold
Me from your glow aurora
Aurora
No low
No snow
Could drive me home aurora
Aurora
Can't chart a course
Map's incomplete
Planets of ice beneath our feat
And all around it's canvas
Steps will paint
One at a time
A time
If icy roads approach your heart
I'll be your Lewis
And your Clark
Your expedition
from the known
to places seen by God alone
A rescue party
Sent to track
Me down would pack it in and turn back
home
Who says that home is where the heart is
I say home is finding yours
I'll get lost in your wilderness
Lost and found
I'll get lost in your wilderness
Lost but
No poor
Impure
Analogy of love or metaphor
Satisfies anymore

Where do I start?
I put the pressure on and broke us apart
So good at sinking
Call me afraid
Alone or jealous I just made a mistake
What was I thinking?
Oh there goes composure I'm a wreck
All you could expect
'Cause I know
Sorry just won't cut it
But I'm sorry anyway darling
What could I say now?
Please don't turn the lights out
Leave me in my darkest hour
I gotta quit
And brain has registered it
Heart ain't so quick
It's screaming
I ain't done here yet

Will your bones
Tell a tale that everyone will know
Carve a trail
To follow
Do you feel
Emptied out eviscerated
Were you steel
'Fore you broke?
Once more
Once more unto the breach we go
All screens turning to snow
Once more
Once more unto the breach we go
Unto the breach we go
Are your soles
Scoured and cracked
And raked across the coals
Bleeding out
Let it flow
Tales of old
That cemetery gates could never hold
Could hold..
I know ya
You're just a shadow forming
I know ya
You've seen the darkness come alive
I know that
Some times are hard for letting go
But holding on is harder than you know

Tiny Sun

If I'm the dark
All consuming
You can give me light
You can send my
shadows off in fright
If I'm the moon
Grey and lonely
You can put your rays
On my cratered,
Scarred up moon-man face
Earth
Venus
Jupiter
Mars
Callistoe
Ganymede
Adrastea and Io
Saturn
Kallichore
Mercury
Eukelade
Isosone
Lysithea
Eurydome
and Leda
Neptune
Carpo
Pasithee
Amalthea
Hegemone
Helike
Praxidike
and Luna
And you
And you
Tiny sun
You got a place
where all the other stars are hung
Where in the universe
Could you be from?
Who cares? You outshine everyone
Everyone you tiny sun
If I'm the cold
Hard and freezing
You can melt me bare
You can melt me
Melt me I don't care

Analog Heart

The future
The future is a scary place
Computers
Alive where there should be a face
It looks like
We made it
Assume the worst
Before the worst assumes control
Everyone is telling me
Listen up
Nobody's past can be present
Everyone is warning me
Give it up
Don't want your past to be present
Confusion
(I gotta recommend it to ya)
The numbers are confusing me
They're costly
(In ways you never thought you could pay)
Nobody's crunching them for free
It looks like
We made it
But look what we've created
Our lives are automated
See them slip by bit by..
Hold on
To your analog heart
Hold on
To your unconverted
Undistorted love
The only cables you need
Carry blood
Not information

No
I know you said
No
And that's fair
Go
I know you said
Go
And that's fair
On course
We spread the payload doors
Hold still
I'm coming in for the kill
All shock and awe
You're blinding
Back to the crawl
And frightened
Love like the mother of all bombs
Know
I need you to
Know
How I feel
Blow
I'm ready to
Blow
How I
Feel
Hold still
I'm coming
Coming in
Coming in

October 4th, 1957
The Soviet Union launches Sputnik
The world's first man-made satellite
This small metal ball is met with a mixture of fear and wonder
It throws fuel on a cold war fire
And ignites a space race
to last the better part of 18 years
Its successor, Sputnik II, carries a dog named Leika
The first casualty in space
April 12th, 1961
Yuri Gegarin, a Soviet cosmonaut
Becomes the first man to leave this world and return alive
His luck does not return with him
He is killed in a plane crash
He is 34
July 4th, 1932
Marie Curie, pioneering mind in the field of radioactivity
Succumbs to her own life's work
She is known to carry test tubes of radioactive isotopes
And once remarked
That in the dark
They were possessed of a pretty
Green-blue light
June 8th, 1954
Alan Turing, founder of computer science
Logician, mathematician, and war-time codebreaker
Is found dead of self-administered cyanide poisoning
Barely worse than the chemical castration
Administered as punishment for gross indecency
Homosexuality was a crime
1942
Isaac Asimov's book, runaround
Introduces the three laws of robotics
These three laws create an understanding
Between robot... and man
They precede centuries of struggle
To overcome one last prejudice
April 3rd, 2247
I am born
Thank you
To the first of my kind
To the father of my purpose
To the maker of my mind
Donor of my blood
Seed of my being

Goodnight
04:26

You know I think
We fall asleep
Every time we blink
Sometimes between
Every last being
Sleeping on their feet
We do what gets us by
We do what gets us by
We do what gets us by
Sometimes it don't
But we still try
Every breathing flame has a pilot light
Every destination a final flight
Everybody hopes for a rope to hold them tight
Goodnight
Every war will end with a single fight
Every cornered creature a dying bite
Everybody longs for their number to divide
Goodnight
Burn
Burn the midnight oil
And on that fire
Wrap mortal coils
We'll bring our sweat to boil
It might not get us by
It might not get us by
It might not get us by
But that don't mean
We don't got to try
Every breathing flame has a pilot light
Every destination a final flight
Everybody hopes for a rope to hold them tight
Goodnight
Every war will end with a single fight
Every cornered creature a dying bite
Everybody longs for their number to divide
Goodnight
Every engineer gets a last design
Every card sharp one murderous slight
Every one who argues can hope to get one right
Goodnight
Every scaredy cat gets to die of fright
Every first attempt gets one last try
Every heart should learn to love before it expires

The Soloist
02:55

Symphonies of sympathy and wrong
An orchestra of hurt you've heard it all
Love is just the same old song
Love is just the same old song
Love is just the same why follow along?
How you gonna feel when the music goes away
How you gonna feel when every note's been paged
How you gonna write the bridge over this
All you know is how to be the soloist
Whatcha gonna do when everyone is tired of how you play
And God knows you've got virtuosity
(Your playing is impressive)
But knowing cares to learn what you could teach
(So here's a little lesson)
In rhythm crisis heartbeats stall
In rhythm crisis heartbeats stall
In rhythm crisis heartbeats save us all

I am a time bomb
No one can disarm
Tied tongued
Losing my charm
Who said I had any anyway?
I am shipwrecked
But unbottled
And on RADAR
I disappear
I am the sum of
All of my bad parts
Half hearts
Making a whole
Damn the numbers color in your life
I want to dream like
It could pay out
And turn real-time
Into a playground
I hate still life (Doesn't it make you break down?)
I need motion (Caught in a place and I'm drowning)
And on RADAR
I disappear
I'd pay ransom
To stay childlike
And when I grow up
I'll be a satellite

Unfinished Business

I can promise
Know
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing will
Ever will change
In the final analysis
Nothing will ever change
Out of nowhere
Comes
Something
Something
Something new
Something bigger than you
What will you do?
Dodge the bullets
Her loaded
Loaded
Loaded
Loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
Shout all you want
Tell me I'm wrong
But don't ever tell me I'm done
I'm not done
Where the fuck did you come from
From
From
From
Give me something I can rely on
Why did no-one
Warn
Me you
Me you
You burn like a cigarette
My God does it burn
Shout all you want
Tell me I'm wrong
But don't ever tell me I'm done
I'm not done

Way Out
03:55
|

|
I'm automatic
I got gears in the back of my head
One of these days
They're gonna fall out
Signals in static
We're all tryin' to complete the message
So many ways
You'll hear us call
Out
Don't break
Although I know it hurts
Don't break
Throw sabot in the works
Find a corner of the universe
Go way out
Go way out
Don't let anybody find it first
Go way out
Go way out
Wrapped up in patterns
Could we trade them for constellations?
Find a new home out in the star
Or on Mars
Don't break
Although I know it hurts
Don't break
Show your old soul can burn
Pick a dot of shining light
From the blanket of the night
Let it take you out of sight
Go get it
Go you'll get it right
We are wrong more than we like
Hold on to hope however slight
'Cause in the darkness we are bright

Next Stop... Nowhere
03:43

With one last sentimental glance.. we come detached
and, best as we can be, prepared
Next stop... nowhere
Lights on... next stop... nowhere

Zero Sum
02:49
|
|||
|
Add up all the good and all the wrong
All the evil
Ever done
Take away distance that we've come
And a zero
Is your sum
