Lyrics

Binaural (Album)

Cover.

01 - Breakerfall

There's a girl on a ledge, she got nowhere to turn
'Cause all the love that she had was just wood that she burned
Now her life is on fire, it's no ones concern
She can blame the world or prey till dawn
But only love can break her fall
Break her fall
Yeah, only love can break her fall
Fall

It's like she lost her invitation to the party on earth
And she's standing outside hating everyone here
And she's her own disease, crying to her doll
But only love can break her fall
Break her fall
Only love can break her fall, yeah

Fall
Break her fall
Love, oh, oh, can break her fall
Only love can break her fall
Love, love, can break her fall, fall
Love, oh, can break her fall
Only love can break her fall

02 - Gods' Dice

It's out of my hands making your hands meet
Stumbling and crumbling out of reach
It's in the cards
Your destiny, your sanity in tow

Designate my luck
I resignate

This power has no roots to guide, no role
Trust me, rusted minds refuse to go
Unwillingness, it's meaningless
To walk away in vain

Designate my will
I designate my fill
I resignate

My will is crashing, synapses flashing slow
Days like frame by frame where do they go?
Why fight? Forget it
Can't I spend it after I go

Roll them high
Throw them again
All God's dice

Monkey driven, call this living, ha
Too much thought, it's overwrought, a hole
Minding yours what's mine not yours
Will finish us off

I designate my life
I designate my view
I resignate my will, my will, my will
I will resignate my god

03 - Evacuation

The sirens scream want some attention
Time to take heed and change direction
Time to take stock and make omissions

Evacuation  (2x)

Time to take leave all formal functions
Time to plant seeds of reconstruction
No time this time to feign reluctance

It's like you're waiting for a diamond shore to wash your way
Bets put aside, you're evil, let's crawl into your face
A vision, vague or not, raising a frightful wake-you-up

Time for
Evacuation  (4x)
Evacuation  (2x)

There was a solemn man who watched his twilight disappear (in the sand)
Altered by a fallen eagle, a warning sign (sign)
He sensed that worry could be strength, with a plan said

Time for
Evacuation  (13x)

04 - Light Years

I've used hammers made out of wood
I have played games with pieces and rules
I've undeciphered tricks at the bar
But now you're gone, I haven't figured out why
I've come up with riddles, and jokes about war
I've figured out numbers and what they're for
I've understood feelings, and I've understood words
But how could you be taken away?

And whereever you've gone, and whereever we might go
It don't seem fair, today just disappear
Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
We were but stones, your light made us stars

With heavy breath, awakened regrets
Backpages and days alone that could have been spent
Together, but we were miles apart
Every inch between us becomes light years now
No time to be void, or save up on life
Aw, you gotta spend it all

And whereever you've gone, and whereever we might go
It don't seem fair, you seem to like it here
Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
We were but stones, your light made us stars

And whereever you've gone, and whereever we might go
It don't seem fair, today just disappear
Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
We were but stones, your light made us stars

05 - Nothing as it Seems

Don't feel like home, he's a little out
And all these words elope, it's nothing like your poem
Putting in in putting in, don't feel like methadone
A scratching voice all alone, it's nothing like your baritone

It's nothing as it seems
The little that he needs, it's home
The little that he sees, is nothing
He concedes, it's home

One uninvited chromosome
A blanket like the ozone

It's nothing as it seems
All that he needs, it's home
The little that he frees, is nothing, he believes

Saving up a sunny day
Something maybe two tone
Anything of his own
A chip off the corner stone
Who's kidding rainy day
A one way ticket headstone
Occupations overthrown
A whisper through a megaphone

It's nothing as it seems
The little that he needs, it's home
The little that he sees, is nothing
He concedes
It's home
And all that he frees
A little bittersweet
It's home
It's nothing as it seems
The little that you see, it's home

06 - Thin Air

There's a light when my baby's in my arms
There's a light when the window shades are drawn
Hesitate when I feel I may do harm to her
'Cause this feeling we can share

And I know she's reached my heart, in thin air

Byzantine is reflected in our pond
There's a cloud but the water remains calm
Reaching in, the suns fingers clutch the dawn to pass
Even out, it's a precious thing to bear

And I know she's reached my heart, in thin air
Yes I know she's reached my heart, in thin air

It's not in my past to presume
Love can keep on moving, in both directions
How to be happy and true
Is the quest we're taking on together

Taking on, on, on, on, on
Taking on, on, on, on, on, on

Theres a light when my baby's in my arms

And I know she's reached my heart, in thin air
And I know she's reached my heart, in thin air
And I know she's reached my heart, in thin air
Yes I know she's reached my heart

07 - Insignificance

All in all, it's no one's fault
Excuses turn to carbon wall
Blame it all on chemical intercourse

The swallowed seeds of arrogance
Breeding in the thoughts of ten
Thousand fools that fight irrelevance

The full moon is dead skin
The one down here's wearing thin
So set up the ten pins
As the human tide rolls in
Like a ball that's spinning

Bombs, dropping down
Overhead, on the ground
It's instilled to wanna live

Bombs, dropping down
Please forgive our hometown
In our insignificance

Turn the jukebox up, he said
Dancing in irreverance
Play C3, let the song protest

The plates began to shift
Perfect lefts come rolling in
I was alone and far away, hey
When I heard the band start playing
On the lip late take off

Bombs, dropping down
Overhead, on the ground
It's instilled to wanna live

Bombs, dropping down
Please forgive our hometown
In our insignificance

Feel like resonance of distance
In the blood, the iron lies

It's instilled to wanna live

Bombs, dropping down
Please forgive our hometown
In our insignificance
Oh, in our insignificance

08 - Of the Girl

Oh he deals 'em off, off the top, ties 'em off
Fills it up with his past gets carried away
Oh half his life, a hand me down, wasted away
Oh he fills it up with the love, of a girl

Oh, he left it alone, drilled the pain, with money to buy
How he makes his getaway  (2x)

Oh he chose a path, heavy the fall, quarter to four
Fills his night, with the thought, of a girl

How he makes his getaway  (2x)
Getaway

09 - Grievance

Have a drink, they're buying
Bottom of, bottle of denial

Big guy, big eye watching me
Have to wonder what it sees
Progress, laced with ramifications
Freedom's big push

Pull the innocent from a crowd
Raise the sticks then bring 'em down
If they fail to obey
Aw, if they fail to obey, yeah, yeah

For every tool they lend us
A loss of independence

I pledge my grievance to the flag
'Cause you don't give blood
Then take it back again
We're all deserving something more

Progress, taste it, invest-it-all
Champagne breakfast for everyone

Break the innocent when they're proud
Raise the stakes then bring 'em down
If they fail to obey, hey
Aw, if they fail to obey

Pledge your grievance to the flag
Aw c'mon, don't give blood
Then take it back again
We're all deserving something more

Have a, have a drink, drink
Have a, have a drink, drink

I wanna breathe
Follow the seeing
I wanna taste
I really wanna see
I wanna run
And I wanna hide
And I wanna run to the sea
And I wanna hide to be
(?)

I will feel alive as long as I am free

10 - Rival

All my rivals will see what I have in store, my gun
I've been harboring fleets in this reservoir, red sun
And this nation's about to explode

Your disciples are riddled with metaphores, well hung
Better pony up and bring both your barrelfulls, not one
As we release this unspeakable toll, woo

(?) simple cry
(?)

Hows our mother to damn these contributors, with mud?
How will the man who made chemicals difficult, shed blood?
How's our father supposed to be told? Huh!
I am told
I am told

11 - Sleight of Hand

Routine was the theme
He'd wake up, wash and pour himself into uniform
Something he hadn't imagined being

As the merging traffic passed
He found himself staring down
At his own hands
Not remembering the change
Not recalling the plan

Was it?

He was okay, but wondering, about wandering
Was it age, by consequence, or was he moved by sleight of hand?

Mondays were made to fall
Lost on a road he knew by heart
It was like a book he read in his sleep
Endlessly

Sometimes he hid in his radio
Watching others pull into their homes
While he was drifting

On a line, of his own, off the line, on the side
Bye the by, as dirt turned to sand
As if moved by sleight of hand

When he reached the shore of his clip on world
He resurfaced to the norm

Organized his few things, his coat and keys
Any new realizations would, have to wait
Till he had more time, more time
Time to dream, to himself, he waves goodbye
To himself, see you on the other side

Another man, moved by sleight of hand

12 - Soon Forget

Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a Corvette
Thinks he'll get the girl, he'll only get the mechanic
What's missing?
He's living a day he'll soon forget

That's one more time around, the sun is going down
The moon is out, but he's drunk and shouting
Putting people down
He's pissing
He's living
A day he'll soon forget

Counts his money every morning
The only thing that keeps him horny
Locked in a giant house, that's alarming
The townsfolk they all laugh

Sorry is the fool who trades his love for hi-rise rent
Seems the more you make equals the loneliness you get
And it's fitting
He's barely living a day he'll soon forget

That's one more time around and there is not a sound
He's lying dead, clutching Benjamins, never put the money down
He's stiffening, we're all whistling
A man we'll soon forget

13 - Parting Ways

Behind her eyes there's curtains
And they've been closed to hide the flames, remains

She knows, their futures burning
But she can smile just the same, same

And though her mood is fine today
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways

Standing like a statue
Chin of stone
Heart of clay, hey

And though he's too big a man to say
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways

Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away

Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away
