Event Horizon (Pulls A Body)
and to get away from her
you must be quick
you must have learned
the escape velocity
miles per second
to get free
she pulls a body
pulls a body
pulls a body back to..
pulls a body
pulls a body
pulls a body back to her
she says you don't hold the bow
and the arrow you don't throw
with the touch to pierce my breast
you have failed another test
she pulls a body
pulls a body
pulls a body back to..
pulls a body
pulls a body
pulls a body into
too much energy
i can't keep the matter together she's
disguising the event horizon
she puts the gun up to our head
but I couldn't do it
i just fled
i will drive us off the cliff
in the moonlight away she swims
ah, she pulls a body
pulls a body
pulls a body back to..
pulls a body
pulls a body
pulls a body into
too much energy
i can't keep the matter together she's
disguising the event horizon
Where Are You Now?
certain times i go back in my mind
to an old familiar place
and though i know
you are not the same
i wonder how you might have changed
my life today
where are you now?
everything still gets judged next to you
but if it was so meant to be
wouldn't god blast me through all the time
and miles to find you there to greet me
with your smile
where are you now?
there you are
in the stars
so far
do i keep this dream just not to grow?
to not sit with what i find hard
put your face inside a house of glass
and bury it underneatht the oak tree
in my backyard
where are you now?
Echo of Your Heart
if i wanted more
than the price that you can't give
the echo of your heart
the echo of your heart
trying to pretend
to be more than i am
and fake into a man
and fake into a man
if i needed a friend
i got something missing
i got something that ends
you're still growing in my
dream
tired of talking about
the words that we can't fix
and all the dirty tricks
and all the dirty tricks
cause every time you're near
it's ringing in my ear
the echo of your heart
we're tearing out that part
if i needed a friend
i got something missing
i got something that ends
you're still growing in my dream
i don't belong
i can't go
i don't believe
solo
we could get away
you and me together
you and me again
you're still growing in my
dream
Waiting
she's got strict immigration laws
had to pledge allegiance to her cause
i don't have the cash to get back home
her land only the natural born can own
here i am, waiting
again for all the sanity i'm wishing for
i can't sleep i rate the commercial spots
how they fit the audience they got
sometimes i think they don't match up right
lonely people buy things late at night
here i am, waiting
again for all the sanity i'm wishing for
go, when you go, when you left
i couldn't take it in
she was the first of us to impale herself
on an achievement that might last on a shelf
she extracts her limbs from the rusted fence
was it worth the loss of blood, money and sense?
here i am, waiting
again for all the sanity i'm wishing, wishing, wishing for
Man
i know that man
i know the way that he thinks
the books that he reads
he's not strong enough to beat me anymore
i know the shape of his mind
the language he eats
it's got him weak in the knees
he ain't strong enough to teach me anymore
and when he dies, i'll be waiting for it
happiest sad day of my life
i won't cry or memorialize it
we will never separate
aw, man, i know the weight of his step
the sound of his keys
he ain't strong anymore
i know his struggles with time
the jokes that he hides behind his wheeze
he ain't long enough to reach me anymore
and the women he'd attract
just could never feed him back
he gets hungry, hungry, hungry
all the time
i know that man
i know the width of his smile
the rate of his heart
i know his every plan
the mood where it ends
the spot where they start
he ain't...anymore
and when he dies, i'll be waiting for it
happiest sad day of my life
i won't cry or memorialize it
we will never separate
I Remember You
i remember the way you'd talk
make me feel on fire
i remember the sun go down
as we'd go higher
i remember the jets from the base
make a sonic boom that night
we got stoned in the hills of colton
watch the stars swell real bright
'til your mother's car drove up
and your face got anxious and tight
i remember you
i remember your sister called
said you wanted to see me
meet in the park we were just thirteen
it seemed i was dreaming
even then i had a bad feeling
that we weren't quite blessed
now i know the reasons why not
it's not the ones that i would have guessed
walking down your street again
my heart stops in my chest
i remember you
i remember what's it gonna be like
i remember you
i remember the color of midnight
you took me through
you moved to garden grove
and we just faded
went back to school that fall with the kids
that i alway hated
back to trying to disappear
so no one would stop me to fight
the base closed that early december
no planes to rupture the night
those hills are covered now
with houses and street lights
but i remember you
