The Lyrics


Polite Conversation
I wake up naked and I'm dripping out of bed, but I can't get out the door. Stumbling tripping over everything I've said raising bruises by the score.

Alice in Wonderland never had anything on you, a new illusion in the bottle in her hand making me smaller than the fool.

There's a little bitty moment between dust and ascension.
Just a little bitty moment between loss and invention.

Hey batter batter are we here today are we stinging are we swinging are we here to play take a chance and tell me are we here to stay or is this just polite parlor conversation.


Let the Angels Go
Where did the angel go? Her wings on my mind. Heaven could flow this time. All things beautiful... let the angels go.

Let the angels go
It's blocking the flow
All I've got is time
If you believe

I knew I was high you whisper to me. Time now moves so slow, your touch a symphony. I knew I was right when you looked into my eyes. Here I am alone never should have let you go.

Let the angels go
It's blocking the flow
All I've got is time
If you believe that we can fly
Holding on again…

Feeling the sky, and the air moves over my skin. There you are. I open the door and let you in

Would I go would I fall would I hold on to it all?
Would I stay would I trip would I stumble and then crawl?
Would I crouch on my feet would I grit my teeth?
Would I ever let you go if I let go of control?


Black Box
Who will ever know?

I love you so. Who will ever know, where did you go when brightness falls? Time is on my mind, giving me plans to align. Who will ever know, going to home to my soul, I remember it all. Life is on my side. Feeding my pride my mind into my head you are there.

Try to imagine another way
To imagine a better place
To imagine no pain

You fancy yourself controlling it all.



Butterflies
Today I'm searching for living proof of the promises. I'm up on the roof with no confidence, urged to fly but my wings fail again. I'm back inside four walls. Our silence pushes the time around. You're tempted to run, you know I can tell everything about you now.

A little uncertainty
it used to be the world that
held us breathless
how should it be, are you expecting butterflies again?

We're back in the light again. Holding the fuse that ignites us when… I'm feeling very strange. I feel like were now the same. My favorite words of yours are the whispers that never got offered me; a promise that all of our history could disappear.

A thousand miles and you would carry me, but can you chance a little uncertainty? When I get down you got me covered. The wings of change rediscovered. We've got the butterflies of early lovers again.



You Need Me
You've got to move it, and then you'll prove it. This time is wasted. Don't make me fake it

I wouldn't lie. I wouldn't lie.
You need me like water needs a flower. You need me like the sun needs its every hour. You need me like a fool needs the stars. You need me don't you tell me who you are

I've gotta, gotta love, give me my fill before I will let you down. If you let me live, you've gotta get in my ground.




Why Do I?
I seek the signs in the stones of the street, A traveler's prayer. People brush past but our paths never meet, I'm not there. I breathe in dust so my blood finds a way, through and through. Something undone miles ahead of me, the road to you.

A yellow field sways sideways awake a slow rain gives
everything you take

I watch the sun and the sun makes time, passing through. Why won't my feet just find their way, home to you. A traveler's blues fill a traveler's shoes when I've turned the wrong way - I've turned the wrong way. And if I would chose you forever, would I forever stay?

A yellow field sways sideways awake a slow rain gives
everything you take...

On an old sign and faded the words fines doubled, weather worn on the road eroded and everywhere trouble.
