Riddles fill and down the stakes
And I'll be around to fall
Cheated all by battle songs
Le ruse was fought back off

We've been trying to hold you up
To keep you safe from the fall
We've been trying to hold you up
To keep you safe from the fall
To belong, you belong

Even with the siren
The comeback is strong
Set against the regret
Of times you've been stung

I've been trying to hold you up
Until you break from the fall
I've been trying to hold you up
Until you break from the fall
You'll be wrong
You'll be wrong
You'll be wrong

You were hiding this time
You've been up and refined
You've been holding up
With your head in the sun

You've been up
You've been had
You've been sold
You were born
You're a man

You're an only child
You're a joke
On the side
You were mine

I'm on trial I'm on fire (x4)
I'm on trial

I'm on trial I'm on fire (x4)
Trial... Fire...
Trial... Fire...

Here by the sideshow
For years come and gone
There will come another
In time to bring down

I've been trying to hold you up
To keep you free from the fall
I've been trying to hold you up
To keep you free from the fall
You'll be gone

. . .


Will you go and leave me in the song?
I'll be hiding
I'll be on queue
For spaces that
Can bring me from the wrong
Change the light love
Make it strong

Cause...
Times of songs are
Times of songs are
Times of songs
our song

I'll be on the record When you're gone
Sides are sorted
Pixels formed

The measure and the meter may be off
Still returning
Strangest stops

And the time slows
And where you go
I'll pull you from the bottom
And I'll leave you on the floor

And halos and con shows
And where you go
I've been before
And I'll be on the tongue

Are you on the record when I'm gone?
Stealing covers
Lifting poems

It's where you've been
And what you've done so long
I'll be your bitter song
Bitter... song

Cause the time slows
And where you go
I'll pull you from the bottom
And I'll leave you on the floor
And where you've been
For way too long

For each and everybody
Has a calling in the song
For each and everybody
Has a calling in the song

. . .


Tale was full of rocks and sand
and all you ever needed was a hand
I was drawn upon your hands
and holding on for strangeness just for friends

grow x4
for more x4
and heads x4
will roll x4

are your heads on high?
you're waitin' for a conversation
are you gonna tow that line?

and, are you healin'? x3

What you might believe before
and you might believe in when the tide runs, runs
All you are the best of friends
and all you offered at all with the sides run, round

I saw x4
I had x4
These times x4
I roll x2
And when you come back, I'll come runnin'

With your hearts set high
It's a marriage made for condescending
Are you gonna hold that line?
And, are you holdin', are you crimp?

I put all my heads on high
Waitin' for a conversation
Are you gonna tow that line?
And, are you healin', are you healin', are you feelin'

Hang them all x4

Need you, needed something

hang them all x4

They need you, bleed for something

hang them all x8

. . .


I was hitting and sowing the tide
For waiting until you were mine
Time for hiding you up
then holding me down
Just stallin'

Now when you go i must move on
For the heads and the souls and their songs
It's not what you will breath
But it's what you believe
I'll be aching and stating this long

Headshock
Right out
Your needs
I will never never never
Leave out
so still
Your heart
I will never never never never
Stop

Now when trees they blow
the leaves let go
From aging troughs to highland roads
They're up and round
and crawling out
of shading

What hides in rowing tones
It has shook me to my bones
The cotton rope
has brought me out
from hiding

Headshock
Right out
Your knees
I will never never never
Leave out
Your mind
So Still
I will never never never never never never never never
Stop

. . .


A Million Miles
Of common sense
Can't hide the reader
Can't fill the trench
And what you hide
Is what I sold
And when you're next to me
The feeling's cold
Don't tread lightly

In the book
At the age of stills
You make congress, Congress
Up in the mount
on the sea of chills
You went tireless, tireless
I will walk alone

Take Toll Take Time
And turn your face
Dismount your wall
Disband your state
The tides of thought
Are blowing in the wind
We'll stretch our seed
to the beaches of the fins
The path is clear
we'll keep clear on the side
and make our beds
in the beds of others
Don't talk lightly

In the book
At the age of stills
You make congress, congress
Up in the mount
At the sea of chills
You went tireless, Tireless
I will walk alone
Through miles and miles of bones

When you touch me I'm alone
When you tease me I'm alone
In the battle of the bones
In the battle of the bones
I'll be Up coming on
I'll be up and holding stong
We'll be holding up for long
We'll be holding up for long
You'll be hiding from our deeds
On the whole and on your knees
You will hide your women
Hide your women
Hide your women

In the book
At the age of stills
You make congress, congress
Up in the mount
At the sea of chills
You went tireless, tireless
You've been running in for the kill
Look down to the south and on to the fields
I've been a rider
I've been a shill
for conquest, conquest
I will walk alone
Through miles and miles of bones

We'll up our highness
Off our shyness
Bring it to your home

. . .


say back something
why don't you meet me in the morning?
say back something
my arms will meet you in the air
when you say come back
why don't you mean it in the morning?
when i say come back
my hands will meet you in the air

clouds have got your head
there's silence in our bed
and arms and legs of lead
and i, oh, i'm so scared

say back something
why can't you look me in the eyes?
stuck in the undertow
and i still hold out
why won't you meet me in the morning?

salt has drowned my head
and i've been so mislead
by the comfort of our bed
and i, oh i'm so scared
no i, no i'm so scared

you mean it all?
then say it all
and i'll be in our bed

. . .


I Am the demon of the apple's eye
Come round when your head's on fire
We will be in touch with time
When you come into the Apple's eye

You're training them all, You traded them all x8

Crawl back when you cut course
Fall down I had an eye sore
From your sighting
We will be tired
And tied down from times
And head counts
Don't hold your hand down
We'll come running

When you come around the bend I'll be someone's time x5

You're training them all, You traded them all x16

. . .


Late at night in the bedlum
back rooms
they sought you out
breakers come in the dark crowds
hits all
hits all around
you say
i come
look down
you're wrong

in the night i wanna go home
In the night I'm waiting down
in the night, In the night
I call you call
I've been in the battle

When the sun went down
I called you back
When you hollered out
I wrote you back
I come inside
I'll hold you tight
A bedlum law
The bedlum law
You say
"i'll come"
Look up
Look long

In the night I wanna go home
In the night I'm Waiting calling
In the night, in the night
I come you call
I've been in the battle
In the night, in the night
I Call you call
Meet me in the battle

When the sun went down
I called you back
When you hollered out
I wrote you back
I come inside
I'll hold on tight
A bedlum law
The bedlum law

When the sun went down
I called you back
When you hollered out
I wrote you back
I come inside
I'll hold on tight
A bedlum law
The bedlum law

. . .


Up in the light
Holding the knife
So quickly

Out of the morn
fighting for sun
So quickly

Dead in the night
In the dead of night
Biding you time away
In the light of the glow
All alone, All alone
It's a box so cold
The box don't know
You've balked at signs
And chalked the lines
And sold for fineness
Sold you kindness
for hounds
Dig the holes
In your hands

Wedded to lies
Of the favorite Child
In a manner to shun Your cot away

Now the bed of the swine
Has the room for all mine
In the city That drowns the life away

Me in the middle
Harbored from the dogs
on a random hideaway
In the madness of rome
With the body to show
It's the box So cold
The box still knows
You've been up at times
You've been hiding times
I've been short at times
I've been shown your times
When you come
and your body's
Away
Your holding
Your times
On the tame
And You Can't
Understand
What we say

Wedded to lies
Of the favorite Child
In a manner to shun your cot away

Now teh bed of the swine
Has the room for all mine
In the city that drowns the life away

In the shadow of sores
We will march with the bores
To the drainage that marks the tidalwave

. . .


Anvil come
Anvil come
I need your
I need your Fire

Sparks and stone
Sparks and stone
As you fall
As you fall I fade

While ships Seek signs of life
They'll have Our heads on sight
It comes

Bronze will bash
Bronze will bash
To the hills
To the survivors

Clear the plains
Clear the blame
When you run
When you run I run

Storm the shores for fame
As time the footprints fades
It comes

Now you sit
Now you sit
In your house
In your abandon

Evil bound
Evil bound
When you came
When you came I went

Banned and boarded life
The hive all shifts when time
Has come
It has come x8

. . .


Talking about family
Talking about trees
Driving through the tracks and cones
Brings a bitter boy to his knees

Wrap him up in coattails
Water soaked in pine
Each time we come back around
He's wandering off and cluttering minds

Weld it up
Taking the long talk home
and my arms start grating
my mind is shaken
We walk it off
Taking the long talk home
my legs start grating
My mind is shaking it off

Golden silence courted
Bread and cheese with wine
We've won it and We'll horde it
This silence in our lines
Wake me up and roll me out
Before I get to running up twice

Talking over family
Talking over trees
We'll talk about the bad blood
Let's talk about the thieves
Don't wake me because I'm nervous
And I've been falling down
Don't take her for a goddess
That's not how goddess sounds
We'll make them all return it
When the time is right
And call them to the borders
cause the war has come
I've been sunken from long ago
Your head is right and your body knows
you're over faith and you're over time
You're over fate and you're over lines

. . .


Hard sums
Sharp toils
When your heart
And when your tonguing money
I'm in the hold
And I've been holding money

Take shape
Take whole
Lie in the space
I've turned my soul about it
Lie to the sun
Lie to the holy body

Signs come
Frail forms
Where did all the money go?
Where did all the money go?
When'd you
High shoe
Where did all the money go?
Where did all the money go?

At the pawn
Are you all the bad
I've been on the sun
I've been the shed for conning

In time
In soul
You are the bonnie
You are the four of cunning
You are the bud
And you are the warring bonnet

Come in The money
Come in The money
For time is the show
And time is the heart about it
For time is the show
And time is the heart about it

Time rolls
Away gold
Where did all the money go?
Where did all the money go?
Age old
Form shows
Where did all the money go?
Where did all the money go?
Sold Homes
Frail Forms
Where did all the money go?
Where did all the money go?
Where did all the money go?
Where did all the money go?

In So made
Railing
I'm the poor in the cold
Way gone
You've
Been alone
In the cone
Away from
It's a long
It's a long
Drive home
It's a long
It's a long
Where hard you roam
Where did all the money go?
Where did all the money go?
I've been
Long gone
Times of all the haunted hole
Times of all the haunted hole
Constant
Eye Bends
Where did all the money go?
Where did all the money go?
Where did all the money go?
Where did all the money go?
Where did all the money go?
Where did all the money go?
You are Far from The Isle in a sea of bond
You are Far from The Isle in a sea of bond
You are Far from The Isle in a sea of bond
You are Far from The Isle in a sea of bond
