Kiss of the Abyss
03:47

He fell into the abyss while blowing a kiss
To the girl of his dreams.
No one can tell if this is heaven or hell
Or if it’s just another purgatory.
I just wanna turn my head.
I don’t wanna wish I’m dead.
I just wanna hear the sound
That tells me my mind hasn’t completely shut down.
Shadow on the wall could be ninety feet tall
Or a worm might have fallen in front of the torch.
Sun breaks the horizon; Brother with no Son.
To she, Luna, Moon.
Craters cover the face of the lover;
Leprosy’s fine when it’s on someone else.
Open the curtains. You don’t know for certain
Who’s looking in, if you aren’t looking out.

All I Want

You always said you liked the compliments you got
But when I gave ‘em you said I put you on the spot
In the end you said I was obnoxious
Truth is I was tired of being cautious
All I want is a second chance
Another turn at our old dance
Don’t bother me with don’ts and can’ts
Cuz all I want is a second chance
With you
You said not to say anything about us
I didn’t and yet you still left me in the dust
I heard you on the street spitting my name out like a cuss
Here’s a new word: it’s a little thing called trust
You only wanted an absolutely perfect guy
Didn’t anyone let you know I can’t fly?
I’m not a puppet, here to obey your every word
Don’t call me honey, you know that’s just absurd
You don’t get a second chance,
There’s new steps to our old dance,
Don’t tell me you want romance
Cuz you don’t get a second chance on love.

Later

Life’s receding quickly
My hair the metaphor
But what kind of life is it
When there’s nothing worth living for
My cataracts are swelling
But there’s nothing left to see
The kids are all asking themselves
“What’ve mom and dad left me?”
It’s all right
Its okay
Another time
A brand new day
We’ll get together
But it’ll have to be later
‘Cause the world is falling in on itself
We’ve gotta come together as one
To beat the ticking clock
Dropping bombs on the innocent
Puts the world in shell-shock
History repeats itself
But don’t repeat the mistakes!
One stupid move, one unwise word
And the world descends to hate.

When you’re facedown on the cold concrete,
Lying, dying on the side of the street.
You aren’t quite sure how you got here.
There’s still a ring of gunshots in your ears!
Time flies by,
You’re almost out of life,
If you don’t stop your ways
You’ll never see another day!
When life gets rough,
I know you try to act tough.
Please don’t lie,
You’ll sever my life-line!
When your tired and you’ve got nothing to lose
When you’ve been stewing in a, a foul mood
When there's a party going down and you’re next door
Then you’ll realize you want more!
When you see a tunnel with no light at the end,
That’s the finish line for you my friend.
A deal gone bad or just the story coming true?
Next we meet, I’ll be there with you!

Bourgeoisie

One day,
I’ll get out of this place
Headin’ towards outer space
Or something that way
Night light
Watchin’ shadows walkin’ upright
People disappearin’ in the night
Government is out of sight
Ain’t no bourgeoisie,
Don’t look like nobody
Don’t do conformity
Don’t trust authority
We ain’t no... bourgeoisie
Young man,
Drawing pictures with a red crayon
Whatever she demands
Flying saucer or a frying pan.
Gateway
Sunrise brings a new day
But when you’re workin for a low pay
You like the sunset better anyway
White tree
Yellow hive with honeybees
Taking orders from the queen
Never break from the routine
Guitar
In the hands of a rock star
Doesn’t know who those people are
How did he come this far?

We tend to forget
that we’re running out of time
So much wasted breath,
blurring the things that shine
We while away our hours
wishing we weren’t here
Forget trying to smile,
if you won’t risk the tears.
From the minute you’re born you start dying
From the second she’s gone you start crying
When your time is up, will you be happy enough?
Don't you dare think of giving up trying.
I see you searching
for something you never had
All the idiots out on the street
will drive you mad
The bishops and the lawyers
have decided what’s right for you
You only get life,
so try to think before you do.
Paralyzing terror
cannot dictate your life
You have to free yourself
from this web of lies
But before we can admit
what we have done
We have to forgive ourselves;
or else the pain has won.

Fantasy Land

Every other guy wants to be her man
I’d be happy just to hold her hand
She just wants us all to let her alone.
Every jock wants to score with her.
All the cheerleaders are disturbed
They’re jealous of a girl who doesn’t know why.
In her mind, there is a place
Of giants, ogres, wizards, and fairies
All the unicorns and butterflies are her friends.
There, nothing can go wrong.
Every animal sings her song
She spends all of her time in fantasy land.
She is the most beautiful girl
In the entire world
She makes the air around her glow
Her eyes are the prettiest green
This damn world has ever seen.
But she's giving me a look that's making me take it slow.
But how can she feel love?
How can she know what friendship brings?
Does she even know
What love means?
They treat her like a trophy
But I see what they don’t perceive
She’s happier in a world she calls fantasy land.

Life Story
05:39

I wanna hear your life story; start at the beginning.
I wanna hear about your fall from glory; I wanna hear about your life-long longing
Just remember, the story isn’t over yet. Call off all of your bets.
You ain’t a thing like me. You’re not a living shadow living off dead dreams.
Even the deepest cuts heal over time
The scar remains, but the broken skin will bridge the divide.
Your heart’s not skin, but it’s been broken and it’s been cut
If you don’t screw your head on straight you’re gonna walk off a cliff with your eyes wide shut
Broken bottles and empty hearts
Endless cycle of false starts
Going down and growing up
Out of love and out of luck
I know getting up is harder every time
But you’re gonna have to do it if you don’t want a life like mine
Every time you get knocked down you lose self-control
The world spins, you can feel it as it goes and goes and goes
There is little that I can say; she will not see me.
I’m a liar and a cheat. I thought of love as free.
I let her heart open and then betrayed her trust
I rubbed it in the mud and filled it in with dust
Every time I gaze on a woman’s eye, I see nothing but her.
I am paralyzed by the disgrace and the hurt
That I caused her, and how it came to be
That now she wants nothing, nothing, nothing to do with me
This is my story. This is my tale.
The one time I tried. Don't know how I failed.
I told her I was sorry. She told me I'd be fine.
Despite our best efforts we never stopped lying.
I can’t say everything is gonna be all right
There are some things we can’t predict, that evade our foresight
But that don’t mean that you can lay down and let go
Every day you've gotta try harder and learn to grow!

The Rest Is Noise
03:23

With the sound of her shoes "a click-clickin'" in my ear
I'd take punishment everyday if you would dish it out my dear
I look the other way when I see my name in the stalls
But when you walk out that door I trip tumble and fall
Before you're out of bed I have already hit the ground
I'm living in the lost and found
My mind is in the gutter when you smile at the boys
My life's a blur the rest is noise
It seems every time I look at you, you never look the same to me
You try to get away I change my plan, change my strategy
The light shine's through your hair, you blink your eyes, you pucker up your lips
My mind is bouncing off the sides of my skull to the sw-swing of your hips
Now things are moving faster, think I may be on a roll
If not I'm gonna lose control
You tease me with your elegance, you dazzle with your poise
My life's a blur the rest is noise
You toss us out like we're a bunch of old toys.
We don't know this 'cause the rest is noise.
