All Roads The Same

I woke with the dawn that July
And too my coffee on the widow's walk
The whispers as clear as the sky
The twisted moors, the dead whalers' haunt
Oh my
Memories of unremembered past
Dawn watches callus rust harpoons
Whale spray an endless diamond blast
My stomach drops from sight with the loons
All roads the same
All roads the same
Tell me where where where
Do all those roads lead?
All roads the same
Old as the sea
Whiskey as hard as kerosene
I ache for the chase and sacrifice
I am a vase of ambergris
I am the hair and the lice
Oh my god
Hear now the smallness of man!
Hear now the greatness of beast!
Even as tall as I can stand
I am a speck on the sea
All roads the same
All roads the same
Tell me where where where
Do all those roads lead?
All roads the same
Old as the sea
Once I held that spear
And looked into that eye
It brought me down to size
Now I sit right here
The ocean out of sight
Are dreams ever alive?
All roads the same
All roads the same
Tell me where where where
Do all those roads lead?
All roads the same
Old as the sea

I was born for neon
I was born for T. J. Eckelburg eyes
Stadium lies
I live in the back page
In the background
Backed by nuclear nights
No stars in sight
Don't expect me to change
I wanna feel everything
Godsave the bluebloods
Godsave eternal American fight
Billboards are right
Godsave the white noise
Godsave our boys
You know I feed on serial dreams now honey
Don't expect me to change
I wanna feel everything
I counted up explosions
It took up all my time
I was getting bored
I was getting bored
You catch a fire
You catch a fire
You catch a fire
And don't you ever let it out
It's best to believe
Don't expect me to change
I wanna feel everything
American mythmakers
American mythmakers
Build your brand until it hurts
I wanna be a mythmaker
I wanna be a mythmaker
I wanna spread across the earth
I
I
I
I

Every morning
You know I carry
All of the memories I try to forget
A kind of mourning
All of the lost paths
When I chose a right instead of the left
But in the morning when you touch my face
I know I'm alive
Always uneasy and half awake
But here I know I'm alive
I know I'm alive
I know I'm alive
I know it's stupid
You can't escape
Let's paint again what we can't erase
Head for the mountains
To where it all began
Climb to the sky and stitch our own flag
And in the morning when you touch my face
I know I'm alive
Always uneasy and half awake
But here I know I'm alive
I know I'm alive
I know I'm alive

I Know It's True
04:11

If I fall for you
Will I fall flat to?
When I'm on my knees
Will you hear my please?
I'm going off, I'm going off, I'm going off
I'm a firework, I'm a firework, I'm a firework
I know
I know it's true
I know
I know it's true
If I fall from grace
Will I lose your faith?
When I'm down and out
Will you ease my doubt?
I'm going off, I'm going off, I'm going off
I'm a firework, I'm a firework, I'm a firework
I know
I know it's true
I know
I know it's true
Tell me you love me
Tell me you love me
Tell me you love me again
Because
I know
I know it's true
I know
I know it's true

Don't Give Up The Fight
05:06

I'm so wired
From acting on this green screen
I'm so tired
Of floating in your slipstream
Don't give up the fight...don't give up the fight
It's coming from below
My face is magnificent
It's coming from below
My friends are made of glass
I'm so wired
My mind is full of meteors
I'm so tired
Of acting on my bad ideas
Don't give up the fight...don't give up the fight
It's coming from below
My face is magnificent
It's coming from below
My friends are made of glass
(David Foster Wallace sample)
It's coming from below
My face is magnificent
It's coming from below
My friends are made of glass
I'm so acquired
I covet everything I see
I'm so inspired
But movement's the last thing I need

Still I Wait

Lord give me a sense of place
Don't hold back, back on me
Lord give me a glimpse of grace
Don't hold back, back on me
Still I wait
For you to come back here
And pick me up
Pick me up and set me free
Lord give me an ounce of faith
Don't hold back, back on me
Lord give me a taste of rage
Eternal rage floating free
Still I wait
For you to come back here
And pick me up
Pick me up and set me free
I heard love was only a game
Then why's it hurt so bad?
Tell me why
Still I know they're right
It's a shame
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Still I wait
For you to come back here
And pick me up
Pick me up and set me free

I catch the train
The Amtrak's nearly empty
Winter rain
I pull my coat close to me
Watch the passing gray
The tired lapse of day
33rd Street
It is a swirl of bodies
I push toward the east
Wonder if he's behind you
Then I'm at your door
A champagne bottle
Soon uncorked
We are a breath
A spark of life
In a city of lights
Let's run tonight
Let's run tonight
Let's run tonight
You say his name
A flash of black and scarlet
Silent flames
We are awash in violet
Overexposed film
Unsaid words
Withdrawn limbs
You touch my cheek
A spark so hot it stings me
Before I speak
Your legs are wrapped around me
A roaring in my ears
The sudden drop
Of years and years
We are a breath
A spark of life
In a city of lights
Let's run tonight
Let's run tonight
Let's run tonight
The sky is a fluting virgin
Your thighs are the moon emerging
Earth is awake
With quaking voyeur's glee
The darkness is only passing
The darkness is only passing
The earth will turn
Its face back toward the light
The light
Let's run tonight
Let's run tonight
Let's run tonight

Tuesday I will fit
Into the dollhouse in the yard
There's no trace of American space
Just peeling olive particle board
I know it's wrong
I know it's wrong
I know it's wrong
But it's hard to break the mold
Find me in the walk-in closet
Unglue my face from the floor
Remind me that there's still an ocean
And shape my softness into strong oars
I know it's wrong
I know it's wrong
I know it's wrong
But it's hard to break the mold
Lead me through the yellow noise
Don't stop 'til there's sand
Hear me when I lift my voice
See me when I stand
I know it's wrong
I know it's wrong
I know it's wrong
But it's hard to break the mold
