Antimatter
02:01
|
|||
|
I am just some antimatter, lost in time and space
Left over in your freezer, producing toxic waste
There’s good cause to rid of me, since I make matters worse
By jamming all your radar, fucking up the universe
I clog up all your pores at night, interfere with D.N.A.
I’m what’s stuck in your rusty pipes, the leading cause of tooth decay
I’m what blacks out neighborhoods, when your electricity fails
I live in a Petri dish, and underneath your fingernails
I’m the dead thing lying there, rotting by the roadside
The unidentified debris, dragged in by the tide
There’s good cause to rid of me, since I make matters worse
By jamming all your radar, fucking up the universe
You are matter and are free, science dictates how I live
Why then personify me and act so negative?
Because I’m antimatter, I don’t get a decent chance
To prove that first impressions, deserve a second glance

The Moment I Knew
02:23

Start the day
Its washed away
Before all this
A time when the world was new
Before the sun turned grey
Was an instant so true
The moment I knew
That she’d be real
That she’d be mine
The prophets never knew
No one could have predicted
A story so true
The moment I knew
No one else heard her song
No one else got her name
Bells didn’t ring for long
The day my whole world had changed
No one wrote a book
Or took a look
I asked why but they’d
No clue
Lost to the ages, all the
Sages
Asked who?
The moment I knew
Lost in the sun
There’s no one
Before all this
A time when my cares
Were few
Before the fates came ‘round
Doing what all fates do
The moment I knew
Where Atlantis was
What she was like
Historians never knew
Now over them both
Is an ocean of blue
The moment I knew
No one else saw her face
No one else marked the time
A vision in white and lace
A miracle who was mine
No one wrote a book
Or took a look
I asked why but they’d
No clue
Lost to the ages, all the
Pages
For you
The moment I knew

I’m going to find me a wife
If it takes all day, if it takes all night
Then strip her from the wedding gown
And have her till dawn before we settle down
She wont know what hit her
Though at first I’ll go lightly
I’ll be her babysitter
Tend her wounds that are unsightly
See, a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do
What’s a woman to do, when the night is black and blue?
She cries sometimes and that’s a shame
I gave her my home and she took my name
It’s a cold cruel world out there you’ll see
You can’t forget baby, nothing is free
I’ll caress your soft contusions
Show you mercy is my best trait
Come my black-eyed Susan
Put all your trust in blind faith
A man’s got to do what a man’s supposed to do
What’s a woman to do, when the night is black and blue?

Mount Jim
02:50
|
|||
|
She climbed and climbed upon Mount Jim
He’s proud he’s tall, she worshipped him
She planted her flag upon his head
And this is what everyone said
“Oh Jim, oh Jim, you mountain man
You can do what no others can
She came she saw, she conquered you
And now you have conquered her too”
She made her home upon Mount Jim
He’s proud he’s tall, she skis down him
And when his snow begins to melt
She migrates south, below the belt
It’s as if he awaits us all
To climb Mount Jim, so proud so tall
Like she had done, she came she saw
We too shall climb before we fall

“What wonder
That the saints do not always
Show themselves inspired.”
Yes we all watched Peter fall.
Fruitful
Doubts among believers,
Doubts that will protect us –
Search for your truth, let love be.
Let our love be.
Let your mistakes shine like the stars.
God loves the stars.
“This tyrant
of the mind triumphed
over all my wisdom.”
How vain it is to flee from love.
Hide love
And silence will speak it.
Build a wall of reason
Love paints a door and walks right through.
Let our love be.
Let your mistakes shine like the stars.
God loves the stars
And what is unseen.
Sins can please God.
My sin can’t be seen.
Your eyes are my stars.
God loves the stars
And what is unseen.
Sins can please God.
My sin can’t be seen.
“Mix my
Grief with yours” darling
Mix me a potion
So that we both will forget.
Pry me
From my God and help me
Find a ray of hope in
Love that is constant and dead.
Let our love be.
Let your mistakes shine like the stars.
God loves the stars
And what is unseen.
Sins can please God.
My sin can’t be seen.
Your eyes are my stars.
God loves the stars
And what is unseen.
Sins can please God.
My sin can’t be seen.
Your breath is my star.
God loves the stars
And what is unseen.
Sins can please God.
My sin can’t be seen.
Your love is my star.
God loves the stars
And what is unseen.
Sins can please God.
My sin can’t be seen.
My lust is my star.
My lust can’t be seen…

The Bells
02:13
|
|||
|
I will wait for ever if I must
And I wont falter from my place
The bells from the tower toll each day
And my love for you never fades
The moments pass one at a time
But not the one which I await
For I am thinking of only then
The moment you let me into your heart
The tower bells toll today
Everything’s as it was yesterday
But tomorrow will dawn another day
Perhaps then you’ll hear the bells
