After the Alphabets

ittle man have you kept up those numbers
i can see the nails in your teeth and the clock stuck in your eyes
you are never important
you are everything
this is no measure of your worth
the screen in your eyes will fade out
hang in for a way out
a way out
after the alphabets
there will only be insects
after the alphabets
there will only be insects
we are the white hair
we are the snow
we are the white hair
on a dying face
we are the white hair
we are the snow
we are together
we are the snow
burn the pages with your name on them
turn and face them
and walk your own way
we are the echoes of the future
children of present and past
the waters are rising fast (x4)
Rising fast

Lying to Actors

it’s different now that you need it
the kitchen sink’s in the drink
I’m in love with a mazda
you need me to drive you how
I’ve got the answers
I’m the one who took your keys
I’ll tell the actors
that I got you home in one piece
relief in ruin
we found relief in ruin
relief in ruin again
I don’t have the answers
man I don’t know who took your keys
you can go ahead and tell the actors
oh man I’m in too deep
I’ve been watching the two of you in the rear view
while you fog up the windows in the backseat
did they put in an offramp for a reason
because we missed the exit and caught the sky
lost the car off the I-5
Now I’m walking down the south side
no I don’t need a life man
Oh I didn’t hear your siren
I think It’s different now
That you need it
I think it’s different now
Don’t you?

Asphalt Dog

Stepped in front of a semi
headlights framed me like angels
I heard your voice
I felt your lips
I leaned in to the headlights
Little hands in wet cement
LSF 1993
When will you make use of me
When will you make use of me I’m an
Asphalt dog i’m roadkill
you’re the cars passing by
I’m an Asphalt dog i’m roadkill
your the cars passing by
passing by
Stepped in front of a semi
headlights framed me like angels
I heard your voice
I felt your lips
I leaned in to the headlights
I can see the vines
of the cars and the tunnels
it’s all you that I see
it’s all you i see
use me
I’m an asphalt dog
I’m an asphalt dog
I’m an asphalt dog
I’m an asphalt dog
and i’m reaching up to you

Eyes tight shut
I know what you been doing
your mine and I know that’s true
Eyes tight shut I’ll wait eternally for you
I’ll never give up
waiting for the moment
just you and I in a room
I’ll never give up on my angel I’m waiting
forever for you
there’s a photo of us that hasn’t happened yet
the past is just a tale i tell myself
a photo of us that just doesn’t exist is the only thing that’s pulling me through
flowers bloom form gold streetlights
when you approach me in my minds eye
i’d lose my way without you i’ll
tell you on the day that i meet you
I love you
until the streetlights fade out
I love you
you feel so real
I never was enough she took the dog and the children
something that you’d never do
I never was enough I’ll sign the damn papers when I’m good and ready
and eyes tight shut
I’m waiting for the moment
just you and I in a room
Eyes tight shut I’ll blaze through the fires of hell for you
there’s a photo of us that hasn’t happened yet
the past is just a tale i tell myself
a photo of us that just doesn’t exist is the only thing that’s pulling me through
flowers bloom form gold streetlights
when you approach me in my minds eye
i’d lose my way without you i’ll
tell you on the day that i meet you
I love you
until the streetlights fade out
I love you
you feel so real
you feel so real
you feel so real

Us Against Us
03:50

I rode in on a missile
like an american cowboy
daddy’s back
got the moves to make it right
slipped into the spiral
looking for your mismatched eyes
in the red light
again
not again
not again
well it’s us against us now
well it’s us against ourselves
well it’s us against us now
well it’s us against ourselves
you were born on a moving bus
headed for the cliffs again
i swooped in
all my stories end the same
now your days play like reruns
your eyes are listless you avoid the sun
man i haven’t saved anyone
again
not again
not again
you are moving out
to the dull-eyes on the freeway
no there’s nothing i can say now
that’ll change a thing anyway
well it’s us against us now
its us against ourselves
it’s us against us now
it’s us against ourselves

Stay close and pray with me
we’ll all be gone soon
fat beached bodies under burning trees
we’ll all be gone soon
we’re the faction from under the grove
you’ve forgotten but you won’t now
just keep an eye on the horizon for our neon signs
filming cops in racist shootouts
we’re just so many flies
on your wall
coming out to break your down down
watch you nail your wife
to watch you bathe your newborn child
levitation down on bourbon street they charge two dollars for one
and three dollars for you
they stole my lady
now she’s floating over the interstate 2
I never lied
the rec center’s on fire
just watch the tide
this could be the night
just keep an eye on the tide for my fish-eyed bride
filming cops in racist shootouts
here at the tailgate party
cooking steaks and wasting everyone’s time
a bum asked us
if we have a hard time
getting to sleep at night
sleep at night
some of us might
cyber wars
and flesh farms
i can’t feel my left arm
the shade of something winged
the shade of something winged
follows me on through the spring
god rip the stars from my eyes
god show me how to be of use
we’re the faction from under the grove
you’ve forgotten but you won’t now
this is our chance to make it right
this is our chance to let it fade

The Beach
03:46

velcro on your shoes and falling buildings in the news
packed lunches and backpacks and Adult Swim cartoons
twelves years day in day out
now the teacher’s calling your home
looking for some kind of way out
but in school you’re never alone
you’re never alone
race to the water on white sand
dog follows close at your heels
race to the water on white sand
you feel at home at the beach
show your mother and father
show them how well you can swim
show your mother and father
you’re okay
got your first cellphone and you’re laying up at night when it’s supposed to be off
you feel that you’ve grown but no one else seems to see it that way
shame and all the changes
waiting for the days end
video games and little escapes are all that tie you to your friends
race to the water on white sand
dog follows close at your heels
race to the water on white sand
you feel at home at the beach
show your mother and father
show them how well you can swim
show your mother and father
you’re okay

Smile-Shaped Scar

Nothing lasts but I will lie with you
The past is glass under my shoe
Nothing lasts but I’m in love with you
This too will pass in time
Grass fingers reach from pavement
some day the city will sleep in a green blanket
until then
I’m always there (X4)
I feel endless when you’re lying on my chest
let’s pretend this is eternal
in the distance there’s a vanishing point
but we’re not there yet and we may never be
Right now
is all my life is
I’ll keep faith even in
the face of the end
I’m always there
This all ends in
a smile shaped scar
until then
I am never far
I’m always there
FACTION UNDER THE GROVE
Stay close and pray with me
we’ll all be gone soon
fat beached bodies under burning trees
we’ll all be gone soon
we’re the faction from under the grove
you’ve forgotten but you won’t now
just keep an eye on the horizon for our neon signs
filming cops in racist shootouts
we’re just so many flies
on your wall
coming out to break your down down
watch you nail your wife
to watch you bathe your newborn child
levitation down on bourbon street they charge two dollars for one
and three dollars for you
they stole my lady
now she’s floating over the interstate 2
I never lied
the rec center’s on fire

Let's Leave

Born into faith
with an old name
you can’t pick the place
where you’re born
in the family chain
your love isn’t fake
your father’s face
is your home
you keep yourself
from going off
you keep yourself
down
cloned corn on the highway
underneath the gray clouds
the boy in your brain
says go
you keep yourself
from going off
you keep yourself
down
your family’s gone
but I can see them in your face
you were never wrong
you were just a new name
you keep yourself down
you shut yourself out
you keep yourself down
down
