Here we are, back on track
Anyone still looking?
All those feelings claimed to back, still need reminding
They all know you cannot grow, not even worth repressing
Work hard and lose it all, isn't that depressing?
Life fades gold to salt with excellent timing
Come and see us, we're in your town, anyone still looking?

I didn’t know about next week
And if you can’t be like anyone
You can’t be like me then
You can’t be like anyone
I wanna get signed to Flying Nun
I didn’t feel like no one
And if you can’t be like anyone
You can’t be like me then
You can’t be like anyone
I see you sign a new band every week
I see you sign them but it’s never me
I’ve never been to New Zealand
But if you sign me I’ll go every week
I wanna get signed to Flying Nun
Consider me

Desire?

See the patterns in your life try to make them change
See the patterns in your self
Repeat them just the same
See yourself in a magazine that you don't read anyway
They're making plans for what you preach unheeded led astray
What is it worth when all you have left is an emptiness of desire?
When all you built, all you beloved has been left to rot and expire?
Why not change the course
Realign the cost
Why not lead the way?
Quit making plans just for yourself
Why not lead the way?
See yourself in a hotel line where you can't stay anyway
Plant the flag upon the hill long settled in decay
What is it worth when all you love has been turned to dirt in your eyes?
When all you built
All you believed has been left for them to surmise?

Consequences

Where do you go when the consequences start to matter and all your friends are letting you down but all your friends have been let down by you?
Paradigm
All senses scatter on a street you used to walk by
Light pours in, it's dull and easy
Living life is dull and easy
And I wonder what it will take until I get through to you at least enough to look me in the eye
I wonder what it will take until I get through to you

Well you know my life's a joke, so I'm throwing it away
All used up incompetence with nothing left to say
You feel like you would like it? You should give it a try
Don't complain to me when it don't seem to satisfy
You've heard their reputation and you heeded their advice
All has come together, another piece to sacrifice
Struggling at the edges, grasping, try as you might
Just for you a small reward, another sleepless night
I'll apologize sometimes
Just when no one seems to mind
When no one wants to hear it and you're bored of your pain
You know for sure you've ceased it all, you've won the saddest game
Staying on the floor of someone you don't even like
Struggling to avoid your changed and aged life
Well you know my life's a joke and so I'm throwing it away

Anti-Anxiety Exercises

See in
See out
See it all out
See it all out
What are the colours you see
When no one else will notice
What are the feelings you feel
When you think you’ve outgrown this
See in
Breathe out
See in
See out
What are the colours you see
What are things you notice
What are the feelings you feel
When you become unfocused
See in
See out
See in
See out
What are the places you’ll be
When your problems are sorted
Who are the people you’ll be
When you feel you’re not broken
There is a lot
That we are not going to give up
There is a lot
That we have got filling our thoughts

Repose

Do you need the light to read
Can’t sleep, better than last night
Do you need a space to breathe
Passing corners of branches
Breathing deep
I can’t involve that
I’d wait a long time just to
I can’t absorb that
I’d wait half as long to
Meanwhile I’m trying
Lying on grass
Hands reaching out for the stars
I feel the air
Filling up the night’s sky
Meanwhile I’m trying

Possession

I know you've been holding what you think is true in the back of your mind for some time
Free confidences untied to shame
Your mind
You're mine
Perfumed letters from some broken bough
It won't be long anyhow
Rough pieces tied to some distant cares
They're gone
All you are is gone
All you are is gone

Patience of Mind
05:48
|
|||
|
Sun rising up over the pavement reminding which way to stand
Parkades covered in roses, what follows in bitter ends
Eternity crossed with daily reminders contract and mend
Outstretched and disregarded, what follows when life descends?
You want to be amazed
You want it to feel like the old days
I will sing in order, convince myself not to care
The cold grows still colder, brief, blowing in summer air
Stopgap for the senses beneath them in callous heat
Perpetually defenseless clipped distant of empathy
You want to be amazed
You want it to seem like the old days

The record so nice, I bought it twice. Just sent one as a gift to a friend. This record is stunning. Poignant and powerful, sometimes heartbreaking. The artwork is gorgeous too.
