The Finest Thread

I'm walking on
The finest thread
It's in my blood
It's in my head
A pulse too strong
To overcome
A wound to heal
A feel too real to be outrun
And when my heart begins to ache, and my hands begin to shake
All the world begins to crumble in my arms
I'm drifting on
An endless sea
Too scared to stay
Too scared to flee
The time has come
The tide has turned
A feeling heart can never part
With what it's learned
Like a tick-tick-ticking time bomb always ready to explode
Who would let their circuits fail and corrode?
I'm living on
An inborn rush
It stains my hands
It makes me blush
The feeling grows
It comes and goes
You cannot hide to save your pride
You know it shows
There's a stranger in my conscience and I don't know what to say
Maybe somehow he can help me find my way

Bombshell

No more sun the smoke screen sky
Cold rain on a hallowed night
Bombshell words that were not said
Otherwise conveyed instead
A young girl's emotions can run deeper than the oceans
Red dress on and starlet eyes
Painted lips to glamorize
She offered vows for false renew
It was clear, yet hard to see right through
A young girl's emotions can run deeper than the oceans
A young girl's promotion doesn't mean she wants devotion
I think of all the time I've wasted wishing you were here
What a foolish way to spend another day
Another month, another year

I Said to Her
05:27

I want to say I'll always love you
And at night I'll lie awake, I'll be thinking of you
Please don't hesitate to call if you need anything at all
All these things and more she said to me
I'm so confused, I don't want to hurt you
But times have changed, and so have we, I need to assure you
I said give it to me straight, it won't help to make me wait
And please don't lay that friendship line on me
You can pierce my heart but you can't break it
You can tear my soul in two, but you can't take it
I'll be happy on my own, and I'll be leaving you alone
All these things and more I said to her

Through the Mirror
05:13

I heard you call
Smelled your fear
Watched you fall
You tied your lies
Wove your web
Sold your cries
You think it's all in my head
But you would have left me for dead
You waited for someone, someone to call - when you left me
Now you're alone and I've no sympathy at all
You played it cool
Lived your sin
Made your rules
Fate fell apart
Stemmed the flood
Broke his heart
Feelings can often deceive
The thoughts that you ought to believe
You see through the mirror, not who you are
But such a mystery makes me want you more
Your poisoned kiss
Set the mood
Touched my lips
Your soft green eyes
Won your game
Claimed your prize
Light from those heavenly eyes
Shelters the devil inside
I should've known better than go back to you
But you looked at me and there was nothing I could do

So lonely, one single tear on your cheek
So hopeless, a cold world has left you so weak
I've told you, if love ever hurts you again
Come hold me, the night will be ours now instead
You've been so understanding, you're always there for me
You see things in me that the others don't see
Your soft, holy eyes, can see through the blue side of me
Come hold me, set your heart free
So broken, betrayed by the trust in your mind
So hollow, a heart so confused and confined
I've told you, let go of the bruises inside
Come hold me, and heal in the wholeness of mine
I saw you by the doorway, on one December night
You closed all the blinds and you turned out the light
Your soft, gentle hands, can warm up the cold heart in me
Come warm me, set my heart free
Come love me, set your heart free

Strange

You never take the blame
What happened to responsibility?
The guilt that's on your hands
Is blamed upon this cold machinery
It seems so strange, how our world will never change
And we all face the consequence above
A law to be abused
You say that anger made you light the fuse
Forever walking free
What reason did your politician use?
Somebody's knockin' at the door
Carry me home
To the place where I belong
To a place where angels roam
It seems so strange, how our world will never change
And we all face the consequence above
It seems so strange, how our world will never change
And we all face the consequence above

All these nights alone in silence
I called you on the phone
Now you're nowhere to be found
All my nerves have come unwound
All the times when my friends were close
Well, their words were oh so clear
Now they've left me here alone
A fear that chills me to the bone
Always made to make decisions
Politicians, guns, religions
When the dust has cleared away
I'll still be here to say
That if love is not the reason
That we ended up together
Then I guess it's time to break it
Time to take it away
All these nights in my seclusion
Within the same four walls
Something races through my vein
Scars of love and scars of pain
The shadows walk and the windows talk
But they keep me company
I wish something would intrude
Break the walls of solitude
Always tied to modern fashion
Male egos, no compassion
When the time has ticked away
I'll still be here to say
That if love is not the reason
That we ended up together
Then I guess it's time to break it
Time to take it away

So Inclined
06:53
|

|
I could make another speech
But I think it'd go unheard
I could sing another song
But would you really hear the words?
It's so easy to surrender to your fears
So inclined to be content throughout the years
You can choose to stay secure
In your own reality
But the chains are on your mind
Until you choose to set it free
It's so easy to surrender all alone
So inclined your peace of mind is not your own
Indecision the apparent course you choose
Such an easy way to cover when you lose
