Weekend Pens

The movies stop saying what is heard
And nothing is left to be offered here
Busy to avoid burning their walls
Blow those whistled for I only knew your name
Take two seconds to let it in
For this glimmer isn’t far away
Let this heartburn settle in
And feel waves of love smiling again
Golden Brown as the smoke curls in
Two moments handed down with a fax
Notebooks trail to weekend pens
Don’t expect this to wait around
Take two seconds to let it in
For this glimmer isn’t far away
Let this heartburn settle in
And feel waves of love smiling again
Trees hit the pavement without a sound
Because the ice rattled too loud
It’s so unforgiven with the shakes
It’s so unforgiven with the shakes
When the moon doesn’t fade away
When the moon doesn’t fade away
Take two seconds to let it in
For this glimmer isn’t far away
Let this heartburn settle in
And feel waves of love smiling again

The Shade Forever Again
03:07
|

Eyes can’t shut for they see for the first time
Maybe I will lose it all for an ideal parachute
Which doesn’t exist and I’ll never, never see it again
Can’t shake the dirt from my nails
Curled up in the corner
Under the ashes where I need to lay my head
Under the ashes with the winter on my hands
Leaving with the northern wind
I wish to travel light
But a piece of me will fall never to come back
How can you save me again?
Under the ashes where I lay my head
You are the shade forever again
You are the shade forever again
Shadows come on by (the world promises)
Sun goes out and dries (as we blink)
Shadows come on by (the world promises)
Sun goes out and dries (as we sink)
Shadows come on by (the world promises)
Sun goes out and dries (as we blink)
Shadows come on by (the world promises)
Sun goes out and dries (as we sink)
Love the one I hurt and leave the one you love
That can be the answer never want to hear
I’m feeling too tired to think again
Close my ears so I won’t hear goodbye

You Are This Song
02:55
|

|
The world moves with your every smile and my heart melts with this new beat
Wish I stole a kiss instead my senses will carry me on
I can’t sleep on this winter night, for you’re the calm I need
I’ll reach out in my dreams, for this is all I need
I’ll reach out in my dreams, for you are all I need
So I will carry your smile another day, you might not guess you are this song
It will be my secret for a little while
I might burst if it’s held too long
I want this story to last awhile, for words are replaced by these warm amber eyes
I’ll reach out in my dreams, for this is all I need
I’ll reach out in my dreams, for you are all I need
I don’t think I can get lost, for you’re the guide I crave
I don’t feel cold inside your look brings on the sun
I can stay up all night you’re the rest that’s missing
And I reach for the ground you make forget where I am
The world moves with your every smile and my heart melts with this new beat
I can’t sleep on this winter night, for you’re the calm I need

Blondes Light Snack Club
03:23

This must be paradise when there is no fuss
Over what to watch there is no rush when the phone doesn’t ring
Staying lighter than the sky leaving anytime
With Moonbeams keeping these drops dry
Do you miss what you had?
So find it all again
Silver tops with every sight
Hear the laughter again
With every smirks shown by the masks
Peel away
It’s not frightening when the blonde turns to red
As long as the calm of the eye doesn’t crack the skin
Don’t let the bursts of joy run away
With the opening of this canopy I’ll have a happy wave
Do you miss what you had?
So find it all again
Silver tops with every sight
Hear the laughter again
With every smirks shown by the masks
Peel away
An occasional smoke rises ripple in the mind
Say it will do for it’s all gone
Imitations don’t last for another
Chips on records while playing this hand
Quiet keys whisper throughout
Stay for another, for these snacks will do
Care for another, for these snacks will do
Stay for another, for these snacks will do
Care for another, for these snacks will do

Scribbles of Scrabbles
03:51
|
|||
|
Quilting carousels laughing with a sneer to be near
Drumsticks fighting air, hooks churning to the air
Little ones jump on by, so I come on by
Little ones sprawled out by, with the weak I’m going to be
Dropping of stars fall away
Fast forwarding the skies turns young
Dropping of stars fall away
Fast forwarding the skies turns young
Scribbles of scrabbles fell into my lap
Morning chords turn, turn you away, away
Don’t ring for collars, don’t ring for the collars I fall away
Cracked bail stop, doctors speak I start to speak
Dropping of stars fall away
Fast forwarding the skies turns young
Dropping of stars fall away
Fast forwarding the skies turns young

Swinging On Rooftops
03:49

I’m lost in Annalivia again
Don’t know whether the sun will part a new shine in the mist
Can’t feel anything but a touch from those warm blue eyes
I’m lost in Annalivia again
What’s going up when nothing is coming down?
I’ll take your smile and believe that I have it all
Sweep around the corner and leave your sweet taste behind
I will save it for another day when you’re not around
I’m found in Annalivia again
A whole day spent with long embraces while times at a standstill
I can’t see this fall away for your pretty face keeps dancing around
I’m found in Annalivia again
It’s getting brighter every time I hear those words clear the air
No need to dream when you’re all I need to escape
You feel behind this long forgotten love
And turn on everything that is sweet
Swinging on rooftops, nothing is better than right here
Swinging on rooftops, nothing is better than right here
And nothing is better than now
For I found Annalivia
And nothing is better than here
For I found Annalivia
And nothing is better than her
For I found Annalivia

Bye Bye Modem

Maybe one day there is too much
As the peoples thoughts scream out loud
When it’s all made in the US of A
Chunks are flying as this Aftertaste
Takes over with a sonic smog
Maybe all the tacks are too deep
And this Game has begun to play, leaving behind this aftertaste
All the mud has poured away, to reveal all the honey that stays away
And I, Wanted to say one more time
All the giants are dying away
Cause all the lights point towards the sounds as the racecars fly away
These Silver plates are part of this string, as the dollars are gone again
And this Game has begun to play, leaving behind this aftertaste
All the mud has poured away, to reveal all the honey that stays away
And I, Wanted to say it
I wanted to say it
I wanted to say it, leave me alone
And the sticks are flying away as the strands are down
And the youths are up
The gold has turned to silver now, and my dollars are gone
One well remain in my mind
And I know that the cars are dead, Sugar is in this aftertaste
And this bet is over, so leave me alone

Tried to simplify what I know
Understanding was not the key
Tried to simplify what I hear
Now I can’t hear at all
Don’t let suburbia kill the imagination
Hills so flat with delusions of flying away
Collapse when faced with this revelation
White with the world fallen in laughter
Assume that I know what you mean
Maybe the symbols don’t seem so clear
Can it all have the same use
All the faces turn back yesterday
Don’t let suburbia kill the imagination
Hills so flat with delusions of flying away
Collapse when faced with this revelation
White with the world fallen in laughter
Swallowing air that turns into halos of dirt
The music is the temporary cure
The music is the temporary cure
No reason to be the only one
Haven’t felt that warmth in years
maybe it’s replaced by turncoat lovers
Dressed in red with purple hearts ready to assassinate the drivers
Turn around and close your eyes, that way it makes it more humane
The chicks have not returned and the ladies feel away round with jubilation
Still frowning with the happiness on these crystal filled road the principles remain
With shadows cast in holes think it’s sensitive, don’t worry it will elapse soon

Company Fading
05:03
|

|
Passing guns depart and things undone
Shoveling ideas into places so bright
Trees turning into burnt ashes and the company fading
Fix can’t bar into place keep those buttons broken
Fat cats with no tails
Keeps this engine warm
Devil watches over this soul waiting to say again
Keeps them voices never seen you will die soon
Child is a memory waiting for the night to bleed
Stop the brew what isn’t there knowing it destroys one more
Hope destroys what was while most of us keep driving
Warm gloves subtract love
Doctors know places and coins with no silver dreams
When this moment forced us a lonely cure
Changing highlights and turning trips it’s all just a creation
Guided by dreams of valleys of dreams of green with sounds of love
Fat cats with no tails
Keeps this engine warm
Devil watches over this soul waiting to say again
Keeps them voices never seen you will die soon
While in reality these memories is what she’s stealing away, and the time is what is disappearing
While in reality these memories is what she’s stealing away, and the time is what is disappearing
As is this company is fading
As is this company is fading
As is this company is fading
As is this company is fading
Fading, Fading

Death Car Accidents

Election year should be passing by
Doctors say the games still polarized
Come haters and players produce
The fumed of the silver games went
Death car accidents
Nothing is so sweet
Nodding out on high quality site
Knapsack wardrobes keeps his thermos dry
Reading well below the 50 cent line
Wires shut as the jaws result
As he becomes a recyclable hulk
Death car accidents
As he becomes this new king
Bound times in between
Death car accidents
As he becomes this new king
Times found in between
There’s trademarks are classic again

The Originals

Don’t have anything scripted to say
Cheap blood keeps the weight off
Turning fresh with no airbags in our minds
Life will remain unfelt
Pile the receipts and burn them up
For there will be no returns here
The traffic carries the originals away
Staring with no reflections to say
Professionals will be away
The traffic carries the originals away
Staring with no reflections to say
Professionals will be away
Wait till the science takes you away
Without cracks in the season
Showing scratches on the glossy tan
These imperfections are real
Let’s wait around for it someday
Time and time again it will fade
The traffic carries the originals away
Staring with no reflections to say
Professionals will be away
The traffic carries the originals away
Staring with no reflections to say
Professionals will be away

Going back to that feeling
Knowing not how I got there
Going back to that Movie
Seeing how the not knowing
Feels like that once again
All the pride are down again
All gone, All gone, All gone
Feeling once, feeling twice
See those bricks come down once again
And I feel with your touch
Seeing that worlds collide
Fire and Brimstone are coming in
Fire and Brimstone are coming out
People just say it once again
It will be the end
Spit dries as the car flies
Seeing that once I fly
Tries to dry knowing not
The net goes away with
Take my hand and feel my pride
Take my hand and turn not
Take the lights and turn it off
And I see once again
Going back to that one time
Going back to that one time
Going back once again, going back once again, going back once again
Say it one more time
Going back to that find
Hold you hands up high
Seeing that I’m so dry
Take one more time and cry
Take one more time and sigh
Take one more time and fry
Take one more time and spend the night with yourself, with yourself
Taking one more time to spend the night with yourself, with yourself
Say it once again and say it like it was twice before
