Walking Under Your Feet
06:30
|

Long ago when I was free
I took a walk across the sea
I walked for pleasure, I walked for fun
To count all those things that I can’t count on
I have something to say
She and I got married today
It’s been ten years or a million more
My feet and my head are getting sore
I wanted to give you the devil’s teeth
But in that dream I just fell asleep
But I have something to say
She and I got married today
There's a God for me

Into Apples Rotting
03:32
|
|||
I got depressed, then I got high
I thought of a thousand different pieces
Of a thousand different guys
I’m a disguise of disgust
And I’m filled with hate and hurt
And love and light and lust
You’d rather do nothing for yourself
Than something for somebody
You’re drowning out and into apples rotting
I got depressed, then I got high
I thought of a thousand different pieces
Of a thousand different lies
I’m a disguise of disgust
And I’m filled with hate and hurt
And love and light and lust

Drowning In The Past
02:57
|

Would you come home? I’m drowning in the past
Every day’s last memories, producers and cast
This cut on my nose, it’s healing in the past
When people touch it, I say please don’t ask
Please don’t ask
Every player’s got a hold on me
They drag me backwards long enough to see
That you are you and there’s nothing of interest in me
I’ve pledged my allegiance to people who’ve long be free
Long been free
I am a failure, one and all
I sat on the steps so I wouldn’t fall
I get kicked and tripped on and yell at you passing by
I sit and cry and still can’t figure out why
I cannot figure out why
Would you come home? I’m drowning in the past

Been Dying A Long Time
04:06
|

She’s losing her feel
Summer is setting on slow, tired eyes
She’s rotting from the inside
Looking inside, revealing her pride
Smiles away, at ease to say
Been dying a long time
Hair that covers the bedroom floor
Still attached to her head as she’s leaving
Like ink spilling into the room
A nest that’s warmer than the sun
She’s floating away on a soft paper pane
She won’t hold my hand, cause there’s something in her hand
I’m the kid at the fair who loses his balloon
And has to turn and watch it just dancing towards the sun
She’s getting so much smaller, she’s like a grain of sand
And I’ll I see is the silver glint of something in her hand
She’s losing me like she said she would
And I promised her that I understood
Now she is gone, now she has gone up
I can’t tell is she ever trusted me
So, I’m loading the gun, I’m loading the gun up
In my shaky hands it’s time to be a man
But the bullets are gone, the bullets have gone up
She must love me to save me from me
But she loves me not she loves me not, stops me believing
She’s taken the bits – she knows that I would do it
Been dying a long time

In Your Eyes
03:30
|
|||
Everything grows and dies and grows and leaves its soul behind
There’s missing the joke and enjoying the smoke when it gets in your eyes
In your eyes
Everything grows and dies and grows and leaves its soul behind
There’s missing the smoke and enjoying the joke when it gets in your eyes
In your eyes
Only lies

Heartbeat
01:35
|

There’s no heartbeat
(In left ear)
Little garden full of light
How do you stay so warm at night
Behind the salt-shake of dirty clothes
Miss Mary Mack all dressed in black
With silver crosses all down her back
She will scream till you put her to bed
(In right ear)
Me and you in a single room
Clean and perfect, a marble tomb
In a bed and in a box
I couldn’t love you any more
I took the hinges off all the doors
So you can float from room to room

City of Sleep
04:26
|
|||
The memories in my head are too soaked up to fit
The time I got beat up because my name didn’t mix
It’s shutting down my systems one by one
Sleeping through days, forgetting about the sun
My family’s passed away, I’m walking from the grave
With dirt still on my hands, I’ve forgotten what to say
Falling into bed, I’m passing out for sleep
I pray for her soul to keep
The lady’s gone crazy
When are you coming home?
Maybe she’s waiting
For me to end it all
The spotlight’s coming on
The spotlight’s coming to keep me warm
The city’s full of smoke, the city’s full of sleep
With nothing left to hold and nothing left to keep
The classroom’s almost full, but no one’s getting in
They’re learning about the past, they’re learning how to win
If no one’s finding love, then no one’s coming home
We’re only getting older, got to learn to be alone
I’m sorry that I failed, but I meant all that I said
That we are all too primitive to learn before we’re dead
The lady’s gone crazy
When are you coming home?
Maybe she’s waiting
For me to end it all
The lady’s gone crazy
Where’s my happy home?
Maybe she’s waiting
For me to end it all
She is only floating
While the others are flying away
She is slowly rising
Up to the milky way

Foglight Pt.1
04:21
|
|||
Locked in the bathroom no one can hear me call your name
It stopped in the classroom, taking its time to be arranged
Go to sleep little girl, set the oceans to whirl
I saw you, once
I fell asleep every night, oceans deep lullaby
To calm you
And I don’t know what I’d say to you
If you suddenly told me none of this was true
And I don’t think that I could sleep at night
Out on the ocean with no fog light
And I know it’s because of you
Yeah, I know it’s because of you
And I know it’s because of you
Yeah, I know it’s because of you

I saw you once when I hit the floor
I saw you twice when I reached the shore
I saw you, I saw you tonight

Runner and The Thermodynamics Boston, Massachusetts
The cream of the power pop top 2000-2005. A power trio of Who-like intensity and Modern Lovers-esque sensibility. They hit it hard and they hit it fast. From Rolling Stone to CMJ. Alice Cooper to Drive-By Truckers. The national press & radio had them on a fast track to blow up, but the band beat them to it! ... more
