Phantoms

i sink heavy in a weightless space
i think many people do the same thing
could it be this draw, this draw into panic
is what keeps us sound not manic or fanatic
or are we just not ready to cease?
i keep it simple for the ones i love
i oversimplify and do it again
do you think god do you think he would take me?
til i reach a point that i no longer need to speak
hey you little phantoms, times have changed
we've got way bigger shit to handle
than your tired old games
if dark and light are in tandem, find their link
within the quiet, simple anthem
silence brings
i give in submitting to destiny
still i reserve the right to say nothing for me
i think fast but sink even faster
i would tell you all about it if i thought that it mattered
but it don't, no it don't
hey you little phantoms, times have changed
we've got way bigger shit to handle
than your tired old games
if dark and light are in tandem, find their link
within the quiet, simple anthem
silence brings

Nothing on You

NOTHING ON YOU
so you're locked out on your birthday
it's nothing that won't heal in time
and everyone there gave you advice
there's a lot more where that came from in good time
much more where that came from every time
you saw the sign and then you left completely unaware
now it's time to shine yet you look the other way
they've got nothing on you
so you broke down on your birthday
you came back strong as a vice
still no one believed
you'd severed the ties
so you fought back for another
you needed your chance to survive
and you got it, you've earned it
so what will you do with your new life?
you saw the sign and then you left completely unaware
now it's time to shine yet you look the other way
they've got nothing on you

THE HUNDRED PAGES
I want to nail to your arm
the hundred pages so far about this
though i may have paled to his charm
i have not failed you at all about this
as you move to the waves of the river
and fuse your waist and arms against his
yes you tune your praise and attention
to everything around except this
well i'm afraid and surprised how many
days have slipped by about this
so far as the glaze in my eyes
i passed them all in one night about this
but when your room was razored to ribbons
who came to deliver you from them?
who flew you to safety forgiven
and who's name was upon your lips?
I can't believe you knew about, you knew about this (2x)
was there an uglier time
between my lovely and I besides this?
I thought we'd left it behind
but now you smugly remind about this
are we just doomed to the bleak repetition?
doomed to fade even weaker from this?
well as your groom i hate my position
consumed by erasing failing attempts
'Cause i have to say You knew, You knew about this (2x)

WINGS OF THE DEAD
i've been lost
i've been living
and all the shots i fired in it, but still go down
i've been caught up in the middle
pulled apart and then bitten
but still go down
i've seen long distance women
with all the kinks that come with em
that still fold out
i've been drawn on the wings of the dead
and the air we fill so loud
i'm locked in this rhythm
with all the parts of me in it
in fits of sound
then she paused
for a minute
and thought about the infinite
she was still around
i had stopped
in mid shiver
and walked across to be with her
when i did so...i found
that i'd been drawn on the wings of the dead
and the air we fill so loud
slow down, slow down, slow down
