Life Signs

go to hell, take the train
generations
learned impatience
some kind of strife in the city, now or then
one night of life i take with me, hours spent
tick tick you’re alive sunlit sick sky scraped by bright eyed short sight online
for thy cathedrals are built unbuilt rebuilt
unwavering guilt
pools of rain heaven spilt
subject to tilt
i’m unfulfilled, i’m in a beautiful place
yeah it’s so sad in this beautiful place
i need you here right now in this beautiful place
can you resurrect a cloud
can you claim it’s fate

what’s on the record
life in a small town
fifth and a first sound

lost my reverie it’s locked up in a prison
return to memory to a land to a vision
to save a tradition imagine it different
a natural condition and nerve recognition
atomic collision it’s fragment prediction
so who is forgiven or maybe who isn’t

life signs
i am coming apart
i’m becoming together 
true to form

Nights in Armor

i just wanna fight you cuz i’m tired
tighter and you trash around
no fire no world
and it hurts
i don’t know
spite me i’m on fire
fight me it’s expired
i found out you can lie still
your system will scar but to death so i bet
spent it you’re a liar

dog days
epoch
bankrupt on top yeah you won
you stole the sun
who’s got me
believe that the future is free
no fire no world
and it hurts
i don’t know
fight me i burn brighter

gold rush
in a dream
home

fight me i’m on fire

Born 2

Spaceship

sleep in this gun suggests

i see it now i saw it best

fall out of hand

drop of a fall

keep myself and lose the rest

i weep for loss and use my chest

sleep in this gun suggests

i loved you then i love you best

so you dream, you build, you change

the cage looks like a window pane

wake up this gun can beg

i love, i loved you best

Blood on the Dollar

gonna name you a song

something that the radio plays

always wanting back home

the pain drives us the same


there’s no enemy

nothing but skin

blood on the dollar

god make me wind


stories that’ll make you cry

underneath a clear blue melody

i don’t want to watch you die

maybe that’s the reason why


my eyes are seeing space on the screen

lights where you stand

these years make me spin man

motion again

god make me that wind
