And so begins the game they always win
These drugs that get you so high
And so you play, they’ll make you anyway
No matter how you decide
In a hospital where I can see a million miles away
Goodbye
Cause I’m so far from where I was uneven yesterday
Another pill inside
It’s getting clear and as I disappear
Into an orbit that’s all mine
Another toast and if you’re looking close
You’ll see me floating down the skyline
In a hospital where I can see a million miles away
Goodbye
Cause I’m so far from where I was uneven yesterday
Another suicide

Open Bloom
03:56
|

|
It's never the same
A different game
And always when you're on
A feeling to belong to again
It's harder to see
And for you to be
On your lonely run
Circle around the sun back to me
And all was said tonight
Down through stars and satellites
You're catching the light from a distant moon
Still staring the whitest open bloom
Falls down
And feels all around
Trying and finding
The feeling you thought had disappeared
Is all you feel

Beautiful Disguise

I’ve seen the world in all of its rare beautiful disguise
Will I be the one that’s out of sight or out of mind?
I feel my thoughts, emotions racing fast
You tell me that it’s never going to last
I know it always seems to disappear from here
Before I ever let it get too near
I’ve seen the sky come crashing over and cover everyone
Still somehow left you standing, staring at the sun
It’s picturesque they’ll jump your coattails and ride
And circle around the ones you divide
You speak to them in so many ways, they say
They’re hoping that you never go away
Now with head and feet back firmly on the ground
They’ve found because of you a better world around

Nocturne #2

She
The sea beneath the sheets
Swimming out to sleep
Dreams of black and off-white
Go
Silent as the snow
Reflected through the window
On a winter’s twilight
This is the last night of all time
To see that it ends on the same sign
Shy
Violet as the sky
The clouds that pass you by
A world of colors streaming
Stay
The night begins to play
Despite no coming day
Somewhere your heart is dreaming
This is the last night of all time
To see that it ends on the same sign

Haloperidol

Every day they bring another
Medication under cover
Dreams from pills of every color
Separate us from each other
You turn it on
Now I start to feel it once again
Watch the sky around you start to bend
Only to see you
Fall away from me
And I see you
The silhouette hides a dream
The feeling in the air
That means so much
Could disappear
Before you breathe
I thought I’d heard all the stories
Voices call out silent for me
Pictures spin on air before me
Give attention then ignore me
You turn it on
Now I start to feel it once again
Watch the sky around you start to bend
Only to see you
Fall away from me
And I see you
The silhouette hides a dream
The feeling in the air
That means so much
Could disappear
Before you breathe

Storms
01:51
|

|
So good to see you
And sorrow to see you
All the saddest things
And storms that you bring
Quiet in the way that you pass by

Slip Into Weeks
02:33
|
|||
|
Change is coming around
For a chance to be alone in sight
Whole world is crushing down
Caught up in a web of our lies
Watch the rain falling down
Sitting at the window where we slept
Hear it all around town
You’re happy now with someone you met
And the days just slip into weeks
As I drink myself into another mind
Where I don’t have to think about you
Or the feelings all the time
Feel the ground and it’s under my feet
As I slip and fall into another dream
Where I said I was sorry for it all
And see you happy again
It was only a dream
I found it in my sleep
Once that I tried to see and follow

Nocturne #1
01:45
|
|||
|
Sweet sleep is falling down
Sweet dreams and starry sounds
The wide-eyed, silent sky is open now
Heavens sings the sweetest things around
All the stars up on the hill
Are slowly raining down upon your window sill
And all the things you’re dreaming of
Are painted in the lights in the sky above
And you can see
Reflections in the moon
The way things ought to be
The night’s wide open bloom

Whether or not to play
Whether or not to say
Whether or not to feel
Whether or not it’s real
Whether or not to stay
Whether or not to keep away
Whether or not to kneel
Whether or not to heal
Whether or not to see
Whether or not to be
Whether or not to play away
It’s better not to say
It’s better not to speak
Try to stay awake
Try to stay a week
Only forgotten days
Only forgotten ways
Try to make the deal
Then try to make me feel
How would you like to see
How I’d like to be
How I’d like to stay away
It’s better not to say
It’s better not to speak
Try to stay awake
Try to stay a week
Only forgotten days
Only forgotten ways
Try to make the deal
Then try to make me feel
How would you like to see
How I’d like to be
How I’d like to stay away
