Seed to a Tree

As I shit, I sit and wonder why
My floor is so cold and my back broken tired
But life is good even though it won't be long
With a candle comes emotions that dance with the shadows on my wall
What were your thoughts as they went flying through your mind
Compared to what you feel from the bars you're now behind
If they could speak, what do you think they'd say to you
I do believe you'd been better off if you'd just told the truth Never had a problem til I stood face to face with me
And I wish there was a way for me to go inside so I could see
All the faces of the people who have torn a piece from me
As I grew from a seed to a tree Can you feel the power of the eye
That's hidden away 5 feet from where we lie
What do you taste when you take a drink of me
Is it to much for me to ask if I asked you to leave
Please just leave, cause I want to be alone There's a fine line, between love and my feelings for you
High time I washed it all away
Unkind I watch your future burn before you
Denied a chance of any love in your life
And I ask you one time....why? -chorus-

Drive

His feet are dirty
And his face, his face is long
And while he's peeking out
Through his hair he hides the pain
Til that Lennon song comes along
He'll turn it off and say can you drive
Jimmy we need to borrow this for a minute
Cause we need to escape Now theres so many things that he's gonna do
In 5 lifetimes hell I couldnt do em all
Yeah and while he's rolling his own smokes
He says to me he's buying a new ride today
A classic deal the boss will give
He said the same thing two weeks ago You've seen that sweaty jet rag feeling come over him
And I've seen that boy knod into a dream a time or two
And on his way out hisglazed stare will make you stop and wonder
Hey William is that the last time I'm gonna look at you
But then the next day the phone will ring
And it will be him
Can you drive Jimmy what would you say
What would you do
Oh should I pray
Or do you think that this blind mind would listen to me....anyway

Time

All these people they won't leave me alone
And we need a little time to ourselves
And half the reasons why I'm sketchin' all the time
The result of this life in hell
But oh well, I think its time My faith is falling like the leave from atree
The pockets both take it away
The sun warms by body as I'm sitting on a swing
Watching columbus clouds bring in the rain
Oh well I think its time to go My mind is playing tricks on me all the time
To let you know that I am real
And all the worries you build up inside your soul
The ones that make your world stand still
....Mean you can feel
That its time to go Are you fed up, are you fed up with me?
Do you think that you could do better?
Do I think that I know better?
Do they think that they know better? Five fed up faces with the itch to kill a king
Blood red sunrise, and a breat to air that's clean
I drink from the faucet, from the porch I take a pee
I look at you through the bushes
Where you can't see me I laugh and slip into another state of mind
To let you know that I am real
And all the worries you build up inside your soul
The ones that make your world stand still, mean you can feel
That its time to go

Hello - Goodbye

I'm entering a frame
Bombarded by indecision
Where a man like me
Can easily let the day get out of control
Down this far in the quarter
I'm pushed hard upon the border
But I'd rather be caught `round now
Rather than, oh say, `round the month of June
But if I can leave alittle bit of explanation
Then anywher in the worl I choose to go I'll have it made

Galaxie

Is this the place that i want to be
Is it you who i want to see
Holding on, Hold it high, show me everything And you're leaving me me
Yeah you're leaving me
You're leaving me with hated identity But i just keep on a comin' here and standing in this place
And I'm never really sure if you'll take
What I'm saying the right way
But i'm never apalled or afraid verbal pocket play
Is as discreet as I can muster up to be
Because the Cadillac that's sittin' in the back
It isn't me
Oh, no, no, no it isn't me
I'm more at home in my galaxie Can i do the things I wanna do
That I don't do because of you
And I'll take a left then I'll second guess into a total mess And you leaving me
Yeah you're leaving me
You're leaving me with hated identity Chorus I'm more at home in my galaxie

2X4

I'm talkin'
I'm talkin'
I'm talkin' to myself more Needle, fatal
Someone's pouring warm gravy all over me
And you see that synthetic therapy
Don't you know it seems to be so unappealing
But oh what a feeling
I wish that you would stop spitting when you're talking to me
And inside, air dry
I might want to go another way
But you see now I'm too pale to get out
Into the lovely light of day
Oh, I'll do anything that you say
Oh, I'l do anything that you say
But I wush that you would stop spitting when you're talking to me I'm talking to myself 1X1
Man to man
Stand to stand
2X4
Talkin' to myself

Vernie

Is it the way you're speakin'
Is it because I'm peakin'
Twistin' your face, thumb in hand,
but you Gotta have your own space to play in
A collection of glass chickens
Oh, Vernie what a garden you have Maybe it's the snuff under your lip
Or maybe caramel cake covered Christmas
Oh a flower you are to my land, but I
No I cannot deny this beauty
If I had a heart I would want it to be like Vernie
Oh what a heart that she has Roaming through the cupboard jar of pickles never Opened since 1983
Peanuts in a pile and Elvis down the aisle-
Singing gallantly I wish I could be
I wish I could be
I wish I could be
I wish I could be
I wish I could be
I wish I could be
A little more like Vernie
Oh I wanna be
I wanna be a little more like Vernie

Skinned

I'll make a shoehorn outta your skin
I'll make a lampshade of durable skin
And oh, don't you know that I'm always feelin' able
When I'm sittin' home and I'm carving out your navel

When will I realize that this skin I'm in
Hey, it isn't mine
And when will the kill be too much meat for me to hide on

Hey, I could really use a couple of hands
To complete one hell of a plant stand
Oh, don't you know that I'm caught here in the middle
Making rib cages into coffee tables

And when I realize that this skin I'm in
Hey, it isn't mine
And when will the thrill be too much meat for me to find anymore

Oh, because you know I can't hide
But oh how hard I try
But this is just the shape I'm in, oh yeah
And though you know I can't hide
But oh how hard I try
But this is just the shape I'm in

Toes Across the Floor

Doesn't anybody feel
That all these killers should be killed
All these healers should be healed
So all these beggers can be filled

Now tell me why am I to lie
If I'm holding firm and feel the right
to lie down beside this dog of mine
And let that perverted though really run through my mind

I'd scrape my toes across the floor
This day's the same as those before
And though inside I'm feeling giddy
Always wrong for never giving myself an uninvaded door

So now I'll take a little glue
I'll put together a new glittered room for you
So I can start sitting so pretty
Instead of sitting here not seein' clear
Just sitting here not fittin' here
No things ain't fittin' here

I'll just lay my head down beside this God of mine
And let that perverted thought burn a hole in my mind
And if I can't lay my head beside this God of mine
Maybe the Hunter's dog called God
Could be a friend in time

Walk

Find myself singing the same songs everyday
Ones that make me feel good
When things behing the smiles ain't ok

Around and over and in-between the seas
I need to be on top of a mountain
Where I can be see everything
Cause this paranoia's getting old

Now as I open my eyes to start another day
I'm in a pile of puke
Empty bag of execuses
My love for friends and family
you know I need them

And under a sun that's seen it all before
My feet are so cold
And I can't believe that I have to bang my
Head against this wall again
But the blows they have just a little more
Space in-between them

Gonna take a breath and try again.
