Lights

All of the lights are inside of me, leading the way,
They're inside of me, all of the lights
Are inside of me, leading the way,
And I didn't invite them in.
No, I didn't invite them in.
All of the lights are inside of me, leading the way,
They're inside of me, all of the lights
Are inside of me,
And I don't know what I could have done to avoid it,
Or if I would've done it anyway.
If everything changes and I am no different,
What is it that stays the same?
An energy flowing? Or is it a particle,
Moving in probable space?
All of the lights are inside of me,
Leading the way, they're inside of me,
All of the lights are inside of me,
And I'm learning to live with the glow.
Seems that all the lights are waiting on a sound.

Park Poem
07:25
|

I wanna live in the park on a sunny day,
Hold hands with a friend I love and drink a cabernet,
Feel the sun assert its attitude upon us as we play guitar.
I wanna live in the park and hear the noise,
Take each little happening and claim them as our toys,
Hear the flowers grow and feel the shadows search across our face,
And all the while be wondering
If we should ever learn to sing
And if the love we're gathering is ours.
I wanna live in the park and kiss your knee,
And every part of you that you will let me see.
And if I ever ask for more,
Would you promise me you'll think about it sensibly?
And while you do I'll listen to a symphony,
By L.V.B.
And all I'll see is blindingly
A star, a star, you are a star you are x2
In fact you're one of my favourite stars!
I wanna live in the park and taste the rain,
Meet up with my enemies and treat them just the same.
As the sea becomes the sky I will become a mighty wind,
And blow across the faces of the people who need me to
And keep them in my arms.
All of them at once.
Never to be bound by what is real.

So Old, So Young
05:47
|
|||
I'm getting tired of singing 'What's My Age Again?'
My oldest friend is just a kid.
I'm in a pseudo-existential phase again,
Trying hard to regret the things I did.
Well if it seems like I'm angry well that's logical;
I've been living too slow, too young to die.
Cause all of my explanations just sound comical.
In a digital world there is no try.
And all the time I've wasted just keeps running past my eyes,
Like star-encrusted jewellery from an angel in disguise.
And everything I hoped for is a devil on the rise.
I am so old, so young.
I'm getting down on one day and I'm high the next,
But if I tell my truth I live a lie.
I'm playing facebook like a human Pokedex,
But if I ever catch 'em all I'll cry.
Tomorrow is another chance to write the ones I've wronged,
But what on earth I'd say to them was trouble all along.
And everything I wanna say is wrapped up in a song.
I am so old, so young.

Little Light
04:01
|
|||
Do I belong to him? Do I belong to you?
Am I mere reflection of my imperfection?
Am I something true?
Am I an honest man, or am I running blind
From the birds and bees, the flowers and the trees,
Or just the passing time?
If there was ever hope of getting out of here
We'd better start expecting better,
Start injecting, cutting through the fear.
The clouds are burning up, I'm getting short of breath,
And every step I take another mother makes
Her claim of pride in death.
It seems as though we only know each other in the night.
What happened to you showing me the light?
So what happens now? Am I a crying shame?
Do I resign myself to making others wealthy
Or rewrite the game?
Look me in the eyes, see the burning glow
Of everything you wanted
In the one responsible for letting go
It seems as though we only go to pieces in the night,
And, shattering, your edges catch the light.
I don't know, I do not know you any more.
It all seems quite obscene.
What do you mean, you never looked enough to see
Our liberty?
You selfishly deserted me. You'd never do what's right.
Well if I did, you never hid your anger in a fight.
You crash, you fall, above us all; a ruin in the night,
But still within you burns a little light.

Bought Us A Car
03:49
|
|||
I bought us a car to take you away,
I bought us a car to take you away,
Won't see what they do, won't hear what they say,
I bought us a car to take you away.
We'll find us a place on top of a hill,
We'll find us a place on top of a hill,
Won't open the door, we won't look at the bill,
We'll find us a place on top of a hill.
And OHHH the wind will blow hard, I know it will,
And OHHH the rain will fall upon our heads,
But all we're aiming for is to live a little more,
And to trust ourselves to know the way,
And to say the things we really wanna say.
I bought us a car to take you away,
I bought us a car to take you away,
We'll make up the rules, a new set every day,
I bought us a car to take you away.
And OHHH the wind will blow hard, I know it will,
And OHHH the rain will fall upon our heads,
But all we're aiming for is to live a little more,
And to trust ourselves to know the way,
And to say the things we really wanna say.
I bought us a car to take you away,
I bought us a car to take you away,
Don't listen to me, I know not what I say,
I bought us a car to take you away.
