Open Fire 04:20
Open Fire Take another day I try to touch these things outside my window I'm stuck in my place This is inconsequence. This is in self defines and I ... Fumble with this mute upon my mouth. Is this contagious, this plainness? Open fire … on my bullet proof The snake's amongst the grass The weeds they make so I can't see, slides so gently. A delicate display I'm getting weaker every day. Comfort is the drug they sell me Trying to fulfil me When nothing is all I need

All That Is Given There is no time for empty words Grow heavy, grow heavy with fruit I was a choice I cannot hide You're beautiful and still terrify All that is given is today The sky never looked so bright and clear We make ourselves lame with the lies we work on our feet Narrow is the road and we need each step It's better to listen to the rebuke of a wise man Than to listen to the song of fools.

Sweat Of Doubt Breath out, breath out I'm sick of holding it in Breathe out, breath out Feels like you're holding it in Let me look outside my window See you slowly come in Let me look outside my window And see my unburdening Is that the rain on your breath A cool breeze up from the south Is that the rumble of your voice To take away this sweat of doubt I want some air on my face Get the dust off my skin On the floor in a heap amongst the mess while she sleeps I want to clean out my eyes, reset my head as I get ready for bed Light on the window, light of the dawn telling me that I will see the morning My unburdening

Did God Really Smile. I waited for you on the side walk to let me in to let me in deeper than your skin I knew you would begin but dreams are so strong and sometimes they takes so long feeling like they will never come But you knew best and could beat the rest if only you had you chance Did God really smile when you got love in your eyes? Did God really smile when you waved them all goodbye? You changed your name, you changed your clothes You let the whole thing swallow you whole A painted face and crippled heart But a good tragedy deserves another and makes a good story rights But you knew best and could beat the rest Did God really smile when you got lost on the stage in style? Did God really smile when you only called once in a while? They interviewed you on the evening news In your stage and your dress and complicated shoes Tell me the story, how you got that big break Did God really smiling when you took that leap? How are you doing, are you getting enough sleep?

Sit, Walk, Stand Throw a fist in your face Knock yourself down again come into this place Angry at things you don't really see Just feeling you don't have any peace You want things to change, you don't know how Pick yourself up again for another round But you're tired ... You've been here all along While I've been looking down You've been here all along Cause I've been looking at my feet Trying not to trip when all You want me to do Is just sit. Wishing you could Hear that voice Wanted it so long, happens to everyone else Wishing for words and praying for signs Everything seems so weak and so out of time. Sit, walk, stand

Now Selling: Soul! You’re dying of thirst, so open that you’re closed A rusty gate swings, painted nails they grip the floor. Prentending to find a way out but happy where you are in this little house throwing stones across the yard. Evolution, all the mutants, now selling soul, you’re selling soul Revolution, paratroopers, hell letting go, hell letting go You got something, something better, gimme gimme some. Your freedom is just a cover, for gimme gimme some. Grow the species, all in pieces, forget the food chain. You see! You See! But you’re to blind to lead me. Evolution baby, how you’ve evolved (you’ve evolved) The vanity, agony, thirst in your soul.
