The Talker
03:33
|

|
the radio is on
the driver is talking
the tires thump a rhythm
the engine is humming
between the car doors
useless hours pass
burning heart, frozen feet
my face against the glass
surrounded by so much noise
i am quiet
flying off and away
survival the pilot
between the plane's wings
useless hours pass
a fog of words constantly
my face against the glass
what if you and i are lost
and the talker is only talk
encircling in chatty hours
laying still, no place to fill
then a single voice rings clear
and the engine knows it's near
the talkers words go on and on
off key, no place to be
between the train cars
useless hours pass
fading signs rapidly
my face against the glass

A Love Song
03:52
|

|
Chorus:
love
it's that believable place
your semi-smile creates
Verse:
today could be the
first time marked
grinding gears of
this soft machine sparked
past your ways and days
as summer turns
our heads in the clouds of
too few words
Chorus
Verse:
memories fall from trees
in fall sunlight
sprinkling simple themes
immediately right
filter a kiss
through a red leaf
from thin lips
you jump up to reach
Chorus
Bridge
Chorus
Verse:
if it were only us two
i'd be loving you
lover
Chorus
Bridge Out

Changing Skin
03:22
|
|||
|
watching again
this changing skin
sweat of the steady
rolls off my chin
chasing the hum
yet wanting to quit
the unknown, the echo
of a constant re-fit
solitary drift
for 1000 days
restless in will
is this thing you've made
this thing tied and wild
if you expect calm
then slow and silent
when the gang is on
stuck in the open
my cover's been blown
i gave myself in
every angle's been shown
but i've learned to get on
i'm learning the ropes
stealing away
in the arms of ghosts
these many faint forms
through time passifies
being held from the home
i've only found in those eyes
on this trip
with no end from the start
dead-locked in the sights
of a dormant heart
