I'll Take Up No Space

The Skies breaking through
The lights leaking down
I squint and I'm darting away for cover
My leprous mind
My uncalloused hands
These legs and this back will know no toil
I'll take up no space
I won't even breath
Where heroes lead I cannot follow
Don't carry me now
Don't make me regret
Don't make me regret
Don't change me with words of love unfettered
I never cared
And I can't start now
Just take this mountain and bury me

Two shots
We both took our best shots
And I've burred a hole
I got into your insides
And I tore them so
You might not recover
We might not recover
Scapegoat
There will be no scapegoat
No excuses now
I won't be backed against the wall
I've heard before that pride's a lonely game
But I'm not lonely
I've heard my name
Wrapped up in the lies again
You won't take me down
With circumstantial evidence
I've seen it all
How tides can turn again
We will turn again
Two shots
We both took our best shots
And I've burred a hole
I got into your insides
And I tore them so
You might not recover
We might not recover
You've played your tune
I cannot be complacent
To your forked tongue
Your paper trails
Your campaign tricks
You've made the bed that your'e sleeping in
Are you still sleeping?
Two shots
We both took our best shots
And I've burred a hole
I got into your insides
And I tore them so
You might not recover
We might not recover

I don't believe in ghosts
But there are ghosts in the streets
I don't believe in ghosts
But there are ghosts in the streets
Spooks on every corner
Spooks tapping the phones
The night is coming on
I don't believe in ghosts
But I'm haunted year by year
I don't believe in ghosts
But I'm haunted year by year
Spook took all my money
Spooks gave me cocaine eyes
The night is coming on
The night is coming on

Brainwashed
06:11
|
|||
|
The pressure's on to heal the wounds
Confound their judgements with your sleepy eyes
We watched the news to get the facts
The abstract images that form our minds
My eyes were foggy since that day
Yet concentrated on a single thing
I can't rule this whole world
So I'll just keep on loving you
The sound bites my very soul
They are slaves to all their deepest fears
But I'm no good at being brainwashed
I don't listen hard enough
Coming home to try and compensate
For all the lives they thought they saved
Return from death to find a life
And baby wonders, "Who are you?"
My eyes were foggy since that day
But concentrated on a single thing
I can't rule this whole world
So I'll just keep on loving you

I've seen the leaves
I've seen the trees
Yet the forest is still beyond me
I've seen the fire
In a hungry man's skull
Still I ate until I was full
Bring me hopes and dreams
In a runaway American life
Bring me your hopes and dreams
In a runaway American life
We are stalked by hungry ghosts
Besieged, besought by hungry ghosts
Cynical lies
All the nuts and bolts we use to build the machines
And the noble lies
You tell them to me so I can still believe
Polarize me
Hypnotize me
Sanitize my mind of truth
With electric blue
We see the world and it's on fire
All the sky is on fire
In all our eyes it's just fire
All our hearts are on fire
Shine a light on some truth
Branded on our minds in electric blue
Shine a light on the truth
Blazing through our screens in electric blue

The function of these spheres
Flow through space and time
As light bends around us
And never lets us grasp
Hands are useless gestures
Mouths are silent words
Eyes collect the darkness
Float away and never seen again
Holding fast
Onto nothing
Slowing down
Time's engines
Sleep, you raging river
Lie down on your bed
Time can never touch you
This berth will be your ocean of emptiness
Flowing on
Rive the cosmos
All's in all
Confess the heavens
I'll always turn around you

That man from the city
In threads that all look brand new
That man pick the white ball
Paralyzed by IQ
Laying the hands down
Lying the cuffs on
What did we do?
What did we do?
Ride shoulder to shoulder
From hemispheres we once knew
My blood sold my my blood
Auction my kinsman, too
Rivers and railroads
Midnight special
What did we do?
What did we do?
Keep running
The good lord will trouble the water
Hold me now
The steamboat rises like a demon
Keep running
The wind will throw off the blood hounds
Hold me now
We'll lie in Abraham's bosom
Fear of light
The burn tides
The boxers
The shadows
Pulling the knives
No crime
Wring my worried mind
Fear of light
The burn tides
The boxers
The shadows
Pulling the knives
No crime
Wring my worried mind

Ophelia
02:44
|

|
Hush, the darkness is here again
Solitary golden fleece on your pillow
Heals all the world again
We all hear the earth moaning
But, Ophelia is rainbows, dimples, and a spinning top
Stolen clothes and stolen songs
Hoping for a beauty
That is not yours and never could be
Everyone is pretending
But, Ophelia is prisms, shadows, and a magic act
In her silence I'm lost
Light dampens and things lose their shape
My heart tires
And beats are misplaced
I can't exist on my own terms
But, Ophelia laughs and tells me I'm joking

Fall back inside
Stand up
Sit back down
Eyes dilate from the darkness seeping in
Step inside the void
Watch the pen teach the paper
I can't see the sky from the smoke and the vapor
Tonight
I'll leave it to you
Cracked like a madman
The information sinking in
The buckets and the pumps
Couldn't keep it all from dragging you down
I try to speak but I'm already finished
I can't walk away because I'm already in it tonight
