Brandon Boyd [Incubus]

I’m feeling out of bounds, out of bounds
I’m running out of time, out of time
I know there’s no such thing as either of them
But its doesn’t make me feel any better

Out of sight, out of mind
Out of sight, out of mind
We’re out of time
We’re out of mind
Out of mind
Out of mind
Yeah, yeah

I’m feeling overwhelmed, overwhelmed
It’s getting out of line, line, line
I know I’m not alone
Just adolescents, you and I
It doesn’t make me feel any better

Out of sight, out of mind
Out of sight, out of mind
We’re out of time
We’re out of mind
Out of mind
Out of mind
Yeah, yeah
Out of sight, out of mind
Out of sight, out of mind
We’re out of time
We’re out of mind
Out of mind
Out of mind
We’re out of mind
Yeah

I only go where I’m wanted
you go only where you want
I aim to be more like you
there is a ghost in my house
rattling handles on every door
show us an open window or two
would you?

Doors are starting to close
and you drew a rose my, my
your mind it is original, oh
you’re a skeleton key, opening me,
my, my; your mind it is original, girl you’re the original
always were
and always will be

The flowers of adaptation
unfold and lovingly alarm
you effortlessly ring that bell
your stripes are yours and yours only
the bow ideal of rare birds
and now I am under your spell
oh, under your spell

Doors are starting to close
and you drew a rose my, my
your mind it is original, oh
you’re a skeleton key, opening me,
my, my; your mind it is original, girl you’re the original
always were
and always will be

I'm a ne'er do well
(runnin' off black and goat)
It's high time I pulled over
and walked around a while

I've seen the porcelain shell
Erect some (skeleter)
And I feel like we walk well together

Because in the end, we are friends and lovers.

If asked of me I would
I would gobble them to bits
The things that wall us off from
where we belong

What's wrong with you is good
for what's wrong with me
and I think maybe we should stick together.

Because in the end, we are friends and lovers
We are friends and lovers.

Abandon all the bold
we've got to pick
they only weigh us down and
we are better than that

if they offer stones
start a collection
of everything we're not
and what's because

we should never have to defend
being friends and lovers.
Being friends and lovers.
Being friends and lovers.

I have waited
Dined on ashes
Swung from chandeliers and climbed Everest
And none of it's got me close to this

I've waited all my life
If not now, when will I?

We've been good
Even a blast, but
Don't you feel like something's missing here?
Don't you dare

I've waited all my life
If not now, when will I?
Stand up and face the bright light
Don't hide your eyes
It's time

No umbrellas
No sunglasses
Healing [hearing?] Hallelujah everyday

I've waited all my life
If not now, when will I?
Stand up and face the bright light
Don't hide your eyes
It's time

I was lost but now I am found.
A line was crossed, a vessel run aground.
The boy has gone, let's grieve and let him go.
He left a dog, but it's a new day don't you know?

In the company of wolves I sat in silence
observant and afraid

He was there with the eyes like glowing embers
the man knew she was made.

I was lost but now I am high.
It helps to know serenity from anywhy.
Something's wrong, something's wrong, when it all remains the same.
So face the fire, come into your name.

In the company of wolves I sat in silence, observant and afraid.
He was there with the eyes like glowing embers, the man knew she was made. Ohhhhhooo..

Even I can't recall how many days I have been out there
For when all those lights cease to shine, it was a lie I think for the first time.
Infinity it falls, in feathery folds but she bites like loveless eyes, but with her belly full she called this rite of passage, it was the longest night of my life.

Say it was the longest night of my life.

Isadore
Erica and her Isadore
climbed aboard a balloon
I want more than this kite will soar
I've set our sights on the moon

You can't just leave I've given everything
I can't believe your taking everything, your taking everything
oh
Its not who you were, its who you are
and we've come this far lover, no?
I won't rest until the world knows the name Isadore

Blinded by their unbridled height
our lovers turned dissolute

You can't just leave I've given everything
I can't believe your taking everything, your taking everything
oh
Its not who you were its who you are
and we've come this far lover, no?
I won't rest until the world knows the name Isadore
knows the name Isadore

Then with eyes wide, a splintered sight
there's just one parachute
goodbye Erica now I see
that my worst fears were in tune

Its not who you were, its who you are
and we've come this far lover, no?
I won't rest until the world knows the name Isadore
knows the name Isadore

Won't rest until the world knows the name Isadore.

I'm only 23 for another hour, give or take
I'm a fan of yours and I need a good mistake
I'm not a sinner or preacher, all I have is slight of hand
I do magic tricks for all the boys in the band

Baby could I be the rabbit in your hat?
I'd swing if you'd hand me, hand me the bat

I'm on the road of least resistance
I'd rather give up than give in to this
So promise me only one thing, would you?
Just don't ever make me promises
No promises

I've never done this before, promises, promises
But I'm enjoying the illusion and the things my body says
Now you see me, now you don't, oh how well you disappear
What are you running from and may I interfere?

Baby could I be the rabbit in your hat?
I'd swing if you'd hand me, hand me the bat

I'm on the road of least resistance
I'd rather give up than give in to this
So promise me only one thing, would you?
Just don't ever make me promises
No promises

I keep getting attacked by
the girl in the black hat
the girl in the black hat.

I can't find any shade but
i'll be swayed as long as
i've got a switchblade.

I keep getting the eye from
the girl in the thigh highs
the girl in the thing highs.

With irises of jade are built
to persuade and they're
swift like a switchblade.

Switchblade, switchblade
they're swift like a switchblade

Nobody wears it like you anymore.
Nobody wears it like you anymore.

Light like a feather
bright like a dying star.
Cut those together
girl that is what you are.
Wild eyes forever
built to punish and persuade.
I like together
But all I got was a switchblade.

So just gimme the facts
who's the girl in the black hat
the girl in the black hat.

I can't find any shade but
i'll be swayed as long as
i've got a switchblade.

I think of getting a rise
on all the American thighs
her American thighs.

She got her black hat
and irises of jade
and I got a switchblade.

I only go where I’m wanted
you go only where you want
I aim to be more like you
there is a ghost in my house
rattling handles on every door
show us an open window or two
would you?

Doors are starting to close
and you drew a rose my, my
your mind it is original, oh
you’re a skeleton key, opening me,
my, my; your mind it is original, girl you’re the original
always were
and always will be

The flowers of adaptation
unfold and lovingly alarm
you effortlessly ring that bell
your stripes are yours and yours only
the bow ideal of rare birds
and now I am under your spell
oh, under your spell

Doors are starting to close
and you drew a rose my, my
your mind it is original, oh
you’re a skeleton key, opening me,
my, my; your mind it is original, girl you’re the original
always were
and always will be

You're happy all the time
I just don't understand why I can't be happy too
Your smiles are salt in the wound
A slap upon a back that's been toiling in the sun

When will I get mine?
Or must I be a god-fearing, white american?
Oh everything is fine
As long as you're a god-fearing, white american

Why should the thieves have all of the fun?
Selling us water by the river, they don't speak for everyone
I'm ready to run and you're making me crawl
Selling me water by the river, they don't speak for me at all

The man about the town
The beauty queen, the paragon of civilization
But shadows cling to us all
Even those convinced that they're sheltered and immune

When will I get mine?
Or must I be a god-fearing, white american?

Why should the thieves have all of the fun?
Selling us water by the river, they don't speak for everyone
I'm ready to run and you're making me crawl
Selling me water by the river, they don't speak for me at all

If I couldn't know this
Wrestles round in a prestigious way

Feel like it's the end of the world
Well maybe it's the way to not

Cause it's true,
Can you,
be part of tomorrow's food?
Today?

There's no such thing as making a wish
Nor could I get my own way

There's no such thing as the end of the world
Just batten down, button up,

Cause it's true
And you, be part of tomorrow's food.
Today.

I'm only 23 for another hour, give or take
I'm a fan of yours and I need a good mistake
I'm not a sinner or preacher, all I have is slight of hand
I do magic tricks for all the boys in the band

I’m feeling out of bounds, out of bounds
I’m running out of time, out of time
I know there’s no such thing as either of them
But its doesn’t make me feel any better

Out of sight, out of mind
Out of sight, out of mind
We’re out of time
We’re out of mind
Out of mind
Out of mind
Yeah, yeah

I’m feeling overwhelmed, overwhelmed
It’s getting out of line, line, line
I know I’m not alone
Just adolescents, you and I
It doesn’t make me feel any better

Out of sight, out of mind
Out of sight, out of mind
We’re out of time
We’re out of mind
Out of mind
Out of mind
Yeah, yeah
Out of sight, out of mind
Out of sight, out of mind
We’re out of time
We’re out of mind
Out of mind
Out of mind
We’re out of mind
Yeah

Picture this: A falling star
Adorns a kite string
The two of us are holding fast
Oh, where will the fall leave us?

You were a prisoner
And so was I
Well we're the hunted
That opened my eyes
Into the arms of
A threat that's real
This is our burden

We've got to find
Another way out
If there are no such things as walls
You're not a prisoner at all
Another way out
Yeah, there is nothing hold you
So run like a cannonball

Pucture this: A night without cars
Just hooves and long legs
The two of us are horned and proud
The city is ours again

You were a prisoner
And so was I
Well we're the hunted
That opened my eyes
Into the arms of
A threat that's real
This is our burden

We've got to find
Another way out
If there are no such things as walls
You're not a prisoner at all
Another way out
Yeah, there is nothing hold you
So run like a cannonball

Another way out
If there are no such things as walls
You're not a prisoner at all
Another way out
If there is nothing hold you
Then run like a cannonball

Get out on the road
Get out of your State
Into the Apple, the hour is late
Everyone trying to be the same
Uniformed and smiles, miles of smiles

Goodbye to language and sympathies to
A generation of intellectual amputees
Assimilation! Conformity!
The last drops of a once half empty cup

I saw a glacier
I kissed it goodbye
We're making way for
A much needed mini-mall, yep

Get out of your cage
And onto your feet
Knock off the dust and your eyes are replete
With new fascinations
Sweet and the sours
Polyformed and smiles, miles of smiles
Or goodbye to process
And condolences to
A generation of one winged worker bees
And where is the art in kissing their feet
For the last drops of a twice half empty cup

The boulevard is bustlin'
A vast and wrinkled muslin
Is pulled over my eyes and
I know I don't belong
There is a noise inside of me
That bustles asymmetrically
Oh how have I to balance
Those sounds into a song?

It's time to let your hair down
And give yourself permission
It takes courage and control
But you start by letting go, oh

For things building inside of me
There's chaos in this discord
But still we move along
The chaos sings of symmetry
And all her words are poetry
That's the kind of city
Which I want to belong

It's time to let your hair down
And give yourself permission
It takes courage and control
But you start by letting go, oh

Oh, I think, I feel, I see
Oh, that this place is not me
I want to belong
But be wild and free
Oh, he who asks
Receives

It's time to let your hair down
And give yourself permission
It takes courage and control
But you start by letting go, oh

It's time to let your hair down
And give yourself permission
Oh, it takes courage and control
But you start by letting go, oh

After fire comes the rain
The rain washes away
The blackened soil in the distance
Process starts over again

Near the pyres the women weep
The tears is in the flames
And in the smoke there is a signal
For there sometimes are too....

Take cover, unless you are on the right side of the fire
But who is right? Where is wrong?
Can this go on? It's easier said than done.

Lonely mariner trapped a little dream
Wherein he was the subject of an old salt into the sea.
He buys the winds and tides, neither good, bad, right or wrong

There is a storm ahead in the distance
For the stow away to take cover unless you are
On the right side of the fire

Who is right, and where is wrong
Can this go on? It is easier said than done.

Oh...said than done
Ohhh...said than done.
Oh, said than done.

Dance while the devil sleeps.
After fire comes the rain,
Look in the smoke for a signal.

Here comes everyone,
Lining up with bucks and ask for phantom consolation prize, oh
Here comes everyone

Blunted, bleached and massed produced
It's amazing what we can get used to
What will we say, when our children ask
"What have you done?
You've gone and used up all the fun”

Oh, yeah, we're only treading water
Whether yours or whether ours
Yeah, we're all in the gutter
But some of us are looking at the stars

Everyone

Here comes everyone
Conductor-less runaway train and
Only have ourselves to blame for it
Here comes everyone

Fast food fed and god fearing
All panic and alarms, alarming
What if everyone simultaneous disobeys
It aint a game if no one plays, oh

Yeah, we're only treading water
Whether yours or whether ours
Yeah, we're all in the gutter
But some of us are looking at the stars

Oh, here comes everyone
Here comes
I come
Here comes...
Everyone

Last night I think I've lived a thousand years
I caught wind the soulful song of passing winds
Swam past crustacean and a school of fish
Join class they said but keep a weather eye
Keep a weather eye out

That sound that pulled me out got louder still
Till salt and sea became a vaccum's mouth
I tumble into a darkened room
Twas a void that smelled of stale sea air

I said my oh my
Where on Earth am I?
I've been swallowed whole
Now a passenger

In the belly of Fate

Last night I traveled without eyes or ears
Sat idle in the womb of understance
From salem to the isle of white
A hostage in the mouth of myth

I said my oh my
Where on Earth am I?
I've been swallowed whole
Now a passenger
In the belly of Fate

A mirror of venus that you are
But I have never seen your face
A mariner carried by a star
With no regard for time or place

Ahhhh hhhhhaa
Ahhhh hhhhhaa

Architectural regret
There is a book I'll never write
From here I'll build a minaret
And from it I'm calling out tonight

Ahhhh hhhhhaa
Ahhhh hhhhhaa

I'll go wherever you go mirror of
I'll go wherever you go mirror of
I'll go wherever you go mirror of Venus

Ahhhh hhhhhaa
Ahhhh hhhhhaa
Ahhhh hhhhhaa
Ahhhh hhhhhaa
Ahhhh hhhhhaa
Yeah

I'll go wherever you go mirror of
I'll go wherever you go mirror of
I'll go wherever you go mirror of Venus

Here in our gilded cage
We turn on the news and are entertained
We are an army of semi-informed, chemically made
Paper tigers that only the cusp only the crown
This isn't the only way down

Either way it's death by a thousand cuts
You would think we choose our blade
But by the way we carry on like nothings wrong
One could argue pointedly
That maybe we deserve to be
Caged

Here in our gilded cage
We're infantilized continuously
Apparent to souls I see that won't let it grow into a tree
A spectral tiger's born with beautiful stripes
And porcelain teeth
And the ghost of the hunt underneath

Either way it's death by a thousand cuts
You would think we choose our blade
But by the way we carry on like nothing's wrong
One could argue pointedly
That maybe we deserve to be
Caged

Presently
future is in the middle of a
love triangle
With calamity
and me in the corner
I'm starting to feel uncomfortable
Should I douse the spark or
fan the flames
or merely think of
clever things to say
Oh the more I try to separate
the better it feels
to get right in the way
And I try so hard
Out of the way
Of that
Runaway train
Oh how
I do love the rain
Ohhhhhhh

Seems to be
that being in the middle is
starting to get me in trouble
Try to run away
but they have a talent for
making trouble seem enjoyable
Oh the more I try to separate
the better it feels to get
right in the way
Should I douse the spark or
fan the flames
or merely think of clever
things to say
And I try so hard
Out of the way
Of that
Runaway train
Oh how
I do love the rain
Oh

Runaway train
Runaway train
Runaway train
Oh
And I try so hard
Out of the way
Of that
Runaway train
Oh how
I do love the rain
Ohhhh
Runaway train
Runaway train
Runaway train

Ohh,

A boy upon a tireless trail, with the wind at his back
He's becoming One, -coming One
He's becoming One
The birds, the bees, the wild trapeze
symbiotic heart-attack
He's becoming One, -coming One
He's becoming One

Stand still! Like a humming bird that flies
Stand still! Like a humming bird that flies
Stand still! Like a humming bird that flies
Stand still! Like a humming bird that flies

No borders, no empires, no inquisitions
point or blame
He's becoming One, -coming One
He's becoming One
Up North, down South, back East and out West
they're saying his bright-eyed name
He's becoming One, -coming One
He's becoming One

Stand still! Like a humming bird that flies
Stand still! Like a humming bird that flies
Stand still! Like a humming bird that flies
Stand still! Like a humming bird that flies
Still, like a humming bird that flies

Walking alone tonight
'Cause I've only got room for two
Me and my burdened black heart
It's all we know how to do

Yet I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I continually see
Sick of all this inertia
I want a human being

Lover, can you help me?
I'm a child lost in the woods
A black heart pollutes me
And I think

You're a mountain that I'd like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view

Pulled by a false inertia
Pushed out by circumstance
Pistol firing at my feet
That's coercing me to dance

Yes I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I'm sorry to know
Here I am, first foot of the climb
Watch me go

Lover, can you help me?
I'm a child lost in the woods
A lit path eludes me
And I think

You're a mountain that I'd like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view
You're a bonfire and I'm gathered 'round you
Set this old black heart inertia aflame

Send it away
Send it away
Send it away
Send it away

Send it away (send it away)
Send it away (send it away)
Send it away (send it away)
Send it away (send it away)

You're a mountain that I'd like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view
You're a bonfire and I'm gathered round you
Set this old black heart inertia aflame

Set it aflame, send it away
Set it aflame, send it away
Set it aflame, send it away
Set it aflame, send it away
Set it aflame, send it away

Set it aflame, send it away
Set it aflame, send it away
Set it aflame, send it away
Set it aflame, send it away
Set it aflame, send it away

A cloud hangs over
Its a city by the sea
I watch the ships pass and wonder if she might be
Out there and sober as a well for loneliness
Please do persist girl its time we met and made a mess
I picture your face in the back of my eyes
A fire in the attic a proof of the prize
Anna Molly, Anna Molly, Anna Molly
Doo doo doo doo do, Doo doo doo doo do
A cloud hangs over
And mutes my happiness
A thousand ships couldnt sail me back from distress
Wish you were here
I'm a wounded satellite
I need you now put me back together make me right
I picture your face in the back of my eyes
A fire in the attic a proof of the prize
Anna Molly, Anna Molly, Anna Molly
I'll crawl to your name
I'll bend to the earth
Nobody else could ever compare
Anna Molly, Anna Molly
Wait there is a light
There is a fire illuminated attic
Fate or something better I could care less
Just stay with me a while
Wait there is a light there is a fire defragmenting the attic
Fate or something better I could care less
Just stay with me a while
I picture your face in the back of my eyes
A fire in the attic, a proof of the prize
Anna Molly, Anna Molly, Anna Molly
I'll crawl to your name
I'll bend to the earth
Nobody else could ever compare
Anna Molly, Anna Molly
Anna Molly (wait there is a light, there is a fire defragmenting the attic)
Anna Molly (fate or something better, I could care less, just stay with me a while)
Doo doo doo doo do do, Doo doo doo doo do do

If it's good to complicate than both of us are doing fine
Just keep your eyes on your part and leave me alone to mine
If it's good to instigate than we're a fast horse, bet on us
I'm not calling you an animal
I think we just fight too much
Hey now, in spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal
We're both aligned in framed of mind but circumstance has got us good
And now you're seeing a side of me I wished no one ever would
Yeah, if it's right to pick a fight, we're fingers in a sugar bowl
Love isn't perfect
Even diamonds start out as coal
Come on, in spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal
Give us time to shine
Even diamonds start as coal
We're incomplete and infantine
Even diamonds start as coal.
Give it time girl, the fire feels divine
The sweetest things
They burn before they shine
We think way too much
Look at us losing touch
A promise is a promise until...
Yeah, in spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal
Give us time to shine
Even diamonds starts as coal.
We're incomplete and infantine
Even diamonds start as coal

We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easier to identify
Look me in the eye
And ask for forgiveness
We'll make a pact to never speak that word again
Yes, you are my friend
We all have something that digs at us
Atleast we dig each other
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone
We all have a sickness
That cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try
We all have someone that digs at us
Atleast we dig each other
So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone
Oh, each other… when everything else is gone
Oh oh oh oh oh oh....
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone
Oh, each other… when everything else is gone
Oh, each other… when everything else is gone

Earth to Bella
You think you've got it all figured in
Earth to Bella
Everything you know is wrong, well almost
Earth to Bella
I've seen when you are not listening
I bear the burden

We're given a garden,
And gave back a parking lot
(We got about fifteen minutes to go...)
Before this audience starts
Throwing tomatoes, yeah!
(It's not the end, there is more show!
We got about fifteen minutes to go!)
Survived the plague
Floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
No one's immune
Deafening bells,
My God, will we survive ourselves!?
I'm not an alarmist
But someone should break the glass
(and pull that red T-lever down!)
To get their attention
start lobbing the Light Grenades
(that burst and blinf them with the truth,
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!)
Survived hte plague
Floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
No one's immune
Deafening bells,
My God, will we survive ourselves!?
Survived hte plague
Floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
Wip off your face, we've come this far
Come on! Remember who you are!
(Remember! Remember!)
Come on! Remember who you are!
(Remember! Remember!)
Come on! Remember who you are!!!

Tonight we drink to youth
And holding fast to truth
I don`t want to lose what I had as a boy
My heart still has a beat
But love is now a feat
As common as a cold day in LA
Sometimes when I`m alone
I wonder, is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?
Love hurts
But sometimes it`s a good hurt
And it feels like I`m alive...
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
Cause without love I won`t survive..
I`m fettered and abused
I stand naked and accused
Should I surface this one man submarine?
I only want the truth
So tonight we drink to youth
I`ll never lose what I had as a boy
Sometimes when I`m alone
I wonder is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?
Love hurts
But sometimes it`s a good hurt
And it feels like I`m alive..
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
Cause without love I won`t survive...
without love I won`t survive..
Love hurts
But sometimes it`s a good hurt
And it feels like I`m alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
Cause without love I won`t survive
Love hurts love hurts without love I won`t surivive
Love hurts Love hurts
Without love I won`t survive...

You and I are like oil and water
And we've been trying, trying, trying
Ohhhhhhh... to mix it up.
We've been dancing on a volcano
And we've been crying, crying, crying
Over blackened soles
Babe, this wouldn’t be the first time
It will not be the last time
There is no parasol that could shelter this weather
I've been smiling with anchors on my shoulders
And I’ve been dying, dying, dying
Ohhhhhhh... to let them go!
Babe, this wouldn’t be the first time
It will not be the last time
There is no parasol that could shelter this weather
Babe, this wouldn’t be the first time
It will not be the last time
We've been trying to believe everything would get better!
We've been lying to each other
Hey! Babe! Let's just call it, call it, call it
Ohhhhhhhh.... what it is!
Oil and water...
Oil and water...
Oil and water...
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooooo

I fly
I soar
This I adore
And then like a locomotive
The sound of your sorrow comes
I'm tired of the way it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
But I think I've outgrown that horsehair sweater
I'd rather be alone
You're about as reliable as paper shoes in bad weather
But pain will roll off like water on feather
You'd fly
You'd soar
But then like a locomotive
The sound of your sorrow comes
I'm tired of the way it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
But I think I've outgrown that horsehair sweater
I'd rather be on my own
You're about as reliable as paper shoes in bad weather
But pain will roll off like water on feathers

Mend this careless thread
It's gone askew
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
Or pull and see how much we can undo
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
On a burning bridge, your options are minimal at best
Depending on where you're standing
And how much breath is in your chest
If it came down to it
Would you high-tail home and hide?
Or dance on fire and enjoy the ride?
Mend this careless thread, it's gone askew
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
Or pull and see how much we can undo
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
At the heart of it all
That innermost, your fiery core
There's an amassing armor and it's building you into a bore
Life's a match in a gas tank
Don't ever mourn the ebbing tide
Just dance on fire and enjoy the ride
Hey!
Mend this careless thread, it's gone askew
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
Or pull and see how much we can undo
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)

(Thanks to ...*charmaine*... for these lyrics)

OK… now the monster is awake.
It won’t rest until there’s nothing left.
Maybe ever & anon
I forget about the pain.
Someone bending light comes along
& flowers lean towards the sun.
Some people fall in love & touch the sky
Some people fall in love & find quicksand.
I hover somewhere in between… I swear…
I can’t make up my mind.

I'm keeping an eye on the future
An eye on the past
And the present in my pocket
Just in case I need a door
Into a brave new world where all solutions end up with my head
Buried to my neck in sand

Enough bowing down to disillusion
Hats off and applause to rogues and evolution
The ripple effect is too good not to mention
If you're not affected, you're not paying attention
It's too good not to have an effect

I'm keeping an eye on the pulse
An ear to the track and penance in a locket
I'm dropping from the highest floor
When it hits ground I watch it smash to pieces
Songs of liberation echo from the dust

Enough bowing down to disillusion
Hats off and applause to rogues and evolution
The ripple effect is too good not to mention
If you're not affected, you're not paying attention
It's too good not to have an effect

Make A Move
Incubus
I'm at the end of my report again
For those who won't do apathy
You had the perfect opportunity
But pled the fifth and walked away

Say something
Make us proud
Cast the first stone
Say anything at all

Make a move
Make a move

For every one thing we're ignorant of
A thousand more things beat the maze
You saw the apple hanging on the tree
But missed the orchard in your gaze

Say something
Make us proud
Cast the first stone
Say anything at all

Make a move
(hands on the eyes are the engines of demise)
Make a move

I'm cautious of who I would call a friend
Who you acquaint is who you are
The darkest hours are when we choose a side
So make your pick and take a fall

Say something
Say anything at all
Make a move
(hands on the eyes are the engines of demise)
Make a move
Make a move
Make a move

Unlearn Me
Ditch what I read
Behind what I heard
Look, Find, Free
Yet! Do You get it yet?
Do You get it?!
From here on it's instinctual
Even straight roads meander
Every piece contains a map of it all! It all!
Evidence
In the march of the ant
Pulse of the sea
Look, Find, Free
Yet! Do You get it yet?
Do You get it?!
From here on it's instinctual
Even straight roads meander
Every piece contains a map of it all! It all!
Out of the line and indivisible
A crow left of the murder
Every piece contains a map of it all! It all!
Everything I wanted
wanted to know
Everything I wanted
wanted to see
to see
Unlearn me
Unlearn me
Do you get it?
Look, Find, Free
Do you get it yet? Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet? Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet? Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?!!

Two people touching lips
Hands on each other's hips
Nothing in else in the world but one another

The 42nd floor
On a distant shore
I wonder how we've strayed so far from this

Remember when we were
Just flesh and bone
You sir may have forgotten how good your world can be

So, put down your hollow tips
And kiss your lovers lips
And know that fate is what we make of it

Please end this, please end this
Before this ends us, ends us

I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside
For good

I read the news today
And everything they say
Just makes me want to stay inside and wait

But the better part of me knows
That waiting in the throws
Is on par with reading with my eyes closed

"What Can I do?", You say
"It's just another day
In the life of Apes with ego trips"

Put down your hollow tips
And kiss your lover's lips
And know that fate is what we make of it

Please end this, please end this
Before this ends us, ends us

I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside
For good

I'm gonna stay inside
I'm gonna stay inside for good
I'm gonna stay inside
For Good

I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside
Don't want to stay inside for good

You crawl in bed
Its three am
You smell of wine and cigarettes
A butterfly under the glass
You are beautiful
But youre not going anywhere
We do the same thing every night
I swear Ive heard this song before
A swimmer who has seen a shark
I should really be more wary of the water

You came you saw you conquered
Everyone
Im left here guessing
What went wrong
Yeah Im down but not out
And far from done…hey all
Beware! criminal

A prism
With an intellect
You throw your light selectively
You stole my glow
A seasoned thief
The blacks of my eyes are turning into opals
Today I walk
Theres nothing here left for me
But empty promises
And the thought of all the things Im never getting back

You came you saw you conquered
Everyone
Im left here bleeding
What went wrong
Yeah Im down but not out
And far from done…hey all
Beware! Criminal

Did you think I wouldn’t notice
Did you really think I wouldn’t care

This party is old and uninviting
Participants all in black and white
You enter in full blown technicolor
Nothing is the same after tonight

If the world would fall apart
In a fiction worthy wind
I wouldn't change a thing now that you're here
Yeah, love is a verb here in my room

You enter and close the door behind you
Now show me the world seen from the stars
If only the lights would dim a little
I'm weary of eyes upon my scars

If the world would fall apart
In a fiction worthy wind
I wouldn't change a thing now that you're here
Yeah, love is a verb here in my room

Pink tractor beam into your incision
Head spining as free as dervishs' whirl
I came here expecting next to nothing
So thank you for being that kind of girl

Does it make you indie?
Does it make you proud?
To talk the world into a paper bag
Spotty stain of "I'm ok, you're not ok"
Yes, men too could be on the rag

I'm in over my head, I need a pick-me-up
Its easy to get high when you're standing on our backs, man
Would anything ever be good enough for you?
Stand on your own, hold your water if you can

The ride's over. Did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over. Fairing well?
The ride's over. Did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over. Fairing well?
Not on my time

It isn't fair to mention, but it awes the crowd
Your fictional, plastic alibi
So take another hit, steal another line
Did you ever meet a leech who was good at goodbyes?

When you were down i always picked you up
Why didn't I recognize that everything was never fine?
I'm kicking myself that i shared spit with you
So fuck yourself
And fuck this bleeding heart of mine

The ride's over. Did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over. Fairing well?
The ride's over. Did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over. Fairing well?
Not on my time

When you were down i always picked you up
Why didn't I recognize that everything was never fine?
I'm kicking myself that i shared spit with you
So fuck yourself
And fuck this bleeding heart of mine

The ride's over. Did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over. Fairing well?
The ride's over. Did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over. Fairing well?
Not on my time

The ride's over

I heard a word from 'on high'
Glare like a light in the sky
It said, "quit blowing each other up"

Voicing so crystaline clear
Some thing's unclean in your ear
When only blood will fill your cup

Hello
I'm trying to focus, but my eyes decieve me
Focus
I'm witnessing history...repeating

It fell like a tear from my eye
Flying machine so up high
Well, there goes the neighborhood

A scene set to singe innocence
Upheave, unhinge, and pit against
Like every made for TV movie should

Hello
I'm trying to focus, but my eyes decieve me
Focus
I'm witnessing history...repeating

Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus.
Focus. Focus! Focus!! Focus!!!
(I can see now)

We are, we know, we see, we think for you!
The who, the what, the when, the where, the why!
We build your yang, we build you too, we see you!

Hello
I'm trying to focus, but my eyes decieve me
Focus
I'm witnessing history...repeating

I hear you on the radio
You permeate my screen
It's unkind, but
If I met you in a scissor fight,
I'd cut off both your wings on principle alone, principle alone.

Hey, megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Wash your hands clean of yourself
baby and
Step down, step down, step down.

If I were your appendages
I'd hold open your eyes so you could see
That all of us are heaven sent
And there was never meant to be only one, to be only one.

chorus

You're no Jesus
You're no Elvis
You're no Jesus
You're no Jesus
You're no Elvis
You're no answer.

Step down, step down, step down, step down, hey.

On the tip of my tongue an offensive is poised and rearing
My intention a bullet, my body a trigger finger

Yeah, my pen is a Pistola
Let go of your fear, fear yeah
Yeah, my pen is a Pistola

My secret arsenal is an infinite ageless inkwell
It's a fountain of youth and a patriot's weapon of choice

Yeah, my pen is a Pistola
Let go of your fear, fear yeah
Yeah, my pen is a Pistola

On the tip of my tongue an offensive is poised and rearing
My intention a bullet, my body a trigger finger

Yeah, my pen is a Pistola
Let go of your fear, fear yeah
Yeah, my pen is a Pistola

The fact, that you
You think, you can
Speak, to me
The way, you do

It pains me to believe that you
Have never stepped out of the skin you've lived with.

And then, and if
This day, occurs
Your tongue, the taste
Will immitate
A battery
the anti-equilibrium
Your stomach becomes the floor

The look on your face was priceless!
The look on your face was priceless!
Yes, the look on your face was priceless!
That look it was

So right
Because of stairs
The attic is ablaze!
This island isn't big enough for both of us
So who will swim in eel infested oceans?

Kiss the sand goodbye
Because the tide is coming up
And in yeah water, water, water everywhere
And every chance to sink!

The look on your face was priceless!
The look on your face was priceless!
Yes, the look on your face was priceless!
That look it was...
So.. Priceless... Priceless.. So priceless...

It's an amalgamation of the things, you aren't
The ways you wish you were
A split second, percieveing of the way
You really look to everyone of them

I wish, that you could see because
I wish that you could laugh

The look on your face was priceless!
The look on your face was priceless!
Yes, the look on your face was priceless!
That look it was
So... Priceless...
So priceless..
Priceless..

No you're not the first to fall apart,
but always the first one to complain.
You better get careful,
or you'll compromise everything you are.
The world is a drought when out of love.
Please come back to us you're all of the above.
I'm making a choice to be out of touch.
Leave me be he said.
He said:
Leave me here in my stark raving, sick, sad little world.
Leave me here in my stark raving, sick, sad little world.
I've never had unpaid confidantes,
its more than I would care to explain.
But I have an open door policy,
when it comes to blame.
The world is a joke when out of love.
Please come back to us you're all of the above.
I'm making a choice to be out of touch.
Leave me be he said.
He said:
Leave me here in my stark raving, sick, sad little world.
Leave me here in my stark raving, sick, sad little world.
Leave me here in my stark raving, sick, sad little world.
Leave me here in my stark raving, sick, sad little world.

Met my match today
Felt the blood rushing and mingling
A curious and enigmatic thing
Now spiders in my dreams...
Synchronicity weaves like a web
When you were meant to be a meal!

I want you bad!
I want you bad!
I understand why they say,
"High school never ends"

(I'll) never act my age
(But) you can tell by the lines in my smile
That I have been around for awhile
So, insecurities
Are about as useful as trying
To put the pin back in the grenade

I want you bad!
I want you bad!
I understand why they say,
"High school never ends"

I want you bad!
I want you bad!
I understand why they say,
"High school never STOPS"


This isn't coincidence
There's no such thing
This isn't coincidence, no, no, no,
This isn't coincidence
It's no such thing.
This isn't, no

I want you bad!
I want you bad!
I understand why they say,
"High school never ends"

I want you bad!
I want you bad!
I understand why they say,
"High school never ends"

Is everything a baited hook?
And are there locks on our doors?
If you're looking for an open book
Look no further, I am yours

We'll behave like animals
Swing from tree to tree
We can do anything
That turns you up and sets you free

You're an exception to the rule
You're a bona fide rarity
You're all I ever wanted
Southern girl
Could you want me?

So come outside and walk with me
We'll try each other on to see if we fit
And with our roots, become a tree
To shade what we make, under it

We'll behave like animals
Swing from tree to tree
We can do anything
That turns you up and sets you free

You're an exception to the rule
You're a bona fide rarity
You're all I ever wanted
Southern girl
Could you want me?

Take a bow
Pack on powder
Wash 'em out with buzzing lights
Pay an audience to care
'Impress me' personality

Still and transfixed
The electric sheep are dreaming of your face
Enjoy you from the chemical
Comfort of America

Come one, come all
Into nineteen-eightyfour
Yeah, three, two, one...
Lights! camera! transaction!

Quick, Your time is almost up
Make 'em forget that they're the moth
Edging in towards the flame
Burn into obscurity

Still and transfixed
The electric sheep but dreaming up your fate
We judge you from the card castle
Comfort of America

Come one, come all
Into nineteen-eightyfour
Yeah, three, two, one...
Lights! camera! transaction!

Your foundation is canyoning
Fault lines should be worn with pride
I hate to say it
But you're so much more
You're so much more endearing with the sound turned off

Nice car!
Where'd you get your ride?
A trophy? Badge of honor? Overcompensation?
Price tags! Advertise your pride
Since when did what we pay
for colored cloth gage our gravity?

Yeah you got your little world
Picture perfect, its a pearl
Now go and try and sleep in the bed you made

You should be careful what you wish for!
'Cause everyone of us has the devil inside
You should be careful what you wish for!
'Cause all of what amounts becomes you

Nice watch!
Man, you got the time?
Theres never enough and it always goes too slow

Yeah you got your little world!
Picture perfect, its a pearl
Now go and try and sleep in the bed you made

You should be careful what you wish for!

My hands are trembling
And my eyes are on fire
This house is crumbling
Left brain, left out, on the wire

You make me happy
You magnify my better half
You make me certain
Though all I have today is your photograph

My past is perilous
But each scar I bear sings
Monuments to where I have been
And melodies to where I am going

You make me happy
You magnify my better half
You make me certain
Though all I have today is your photograph

When will I see you again?
Still-life can only go so far
I need you in front of me
Saying my name
Saying to me...
"I want you the way you are
You, the way you are"

You make me happy
You magnify my better half
You make me certain
Though all I have today is your photograph
You make me happy

Sometimes, I feel the fear of the
uncertainty stinging clear
And I can`t help but ask myself how much
I`ll let the fear take the wheel and steer
It`s driven me before, and it seems to have a vague,
haunting mass appeal
But lately I am beginning to find that I
should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings, I`ll be there
with open arms and open eyes, yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I`ll be there I`ll be there
So if I decide to waiver my
chance to be one of~ the hive
will I choose water over wine
and hold my own and drive
Ah~ ah~ ah
It`s driven me before and it seems to be the way
that everyone else gets around
But lately Im beginning to find that
when I drive myself my light is found
Whatever tomorrow brings, I`ll be there
with open arms and open eyes Yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, Il`l be there~
I`ll be there~

Would you choose water over wine
hold the wheel and drive

Mexico


You could see me reaching
So why couldn't you have met me half way?
You could see me bleeding
And you would not put pressure on the wound

You only think about yourself
You better bend before I go
On the next train to Mexico

You could see my breathing
But you still kept your hand over my mouth
You could feel me seething
But you just turned your nose up in the air

You only think about yourself
You better bend before I go
On the next train to Mexico....

The Warmth


I'd like to close my eyes and go numb
But there's a cold wind coming from
The top of the highest high-rise today
It's not a breeze cause' it blows hard
Yes, and it wants me to discard the humanity I know
Watch the warmth blow away

So do you think I should adhere to that pressing new frontier?
And leave in my wake a trail of fear?
Or should I hold my head up high
And throw a wrench and spokes by
Leaving the air behind me clear?

So don't let the world bring you down
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
Remember why you came
And while you're alive
Experience the warmth before you grow old...x2

Before you grow old.
Where did it go? (x4)

Wish You Were Here


I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across
a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy...happy

I wish you were here..x4

I lay my head on to the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFO's
I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy...happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here

The world's a roller coaster and I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care but my hands are
busy in the air saying,

I wish you were here
I wish you were

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here

Wish You Were Here


I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across
a blue blanket
I lean against the wind

And in this moment I am happy...happy

I wish you were

I wish you were here
I wish you were here

seven a.m.
The garbage truck beaps it backs up
And I start my I've thrown away
Could I push rewind?
The credits traverse, signif ying the end
But I missed the best part
Could we please go back to start
Forgive my indecision

Then-again(3번*), you're always first when no
one's on your side But
Then-again(3번*), a day will come when I want
off that ride

Eleven a.m.
By now you would think that I would be up
But my bedsheets shade the heat of choices I've made
And what did I find?
I never thought I could want someone so much
cause now you're not here and I'm knee deep
in that old fear
Forgive my indecision
I am only a man

*
Then-again(3번*), you're always first when no
one's on your side But
Then-again~(3번*), a day Will come when I want
off that ride

Twelve p.m. and my dusty telephone rings
Heavy head up from my pillow who could it be?
I hope it's you

Oh ~

I’m floating down a river
Oars freed from their homes long ago
Lying face up on the floor
Of my vessel
I marvel at the stars
And feel my heart overflow

Further down the river

Two weeks without my lover
I’m in this boat alone
Floating down a river named emotion
Will I make it back to shore?
Or drift into the unknown

Further down the river

I’m building an antenna
Transmissions will be sent
When I am through
Maybe we can meet again
Further down the river
And share what we both discovered
Then revel in the view

Further down the river

I’m floating down a river

It's so much better
When everyone is in
Are you in?
It's so much better
When everyone is in
Are you in?
Ooh ooh
Are you in?
You ooh
Are you in?
It's so much better
When everyone is in
Are you in?
It's so much easier
When sea foam green
Is in fashion
You you, oh
Are you in?
You ooh ooh ooh
Are you in?

Are you are you are you
Are you are you are you
Are you are you are you
Are you are you are you
Are you are you are you
Are you are you are you
(Everybody everybody in)
(Ooh ooh ooh)

You ooh Are you in?
You ooh Ooh

*I don't want to talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue everytime you come around
Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground

Hand over my heart
I swear I've tried everything
I could Within all my power two weeks and one hour
I slaved and now
I've got nothing to show
Oh if only you'd grow taller than a brick wall
From now on I'm gonna start holding my breath
When you come around and you flex that fake grin
Cause something inside of me has said more than twice
That breathing less air beats breathing you at all

*Repeat

Hand over my mouth
I'm earning the right to my silence
In quiet discerning between ego and timing
Good judgement is once again proving to me that it's Still worth it's
weight in gold
From now on I'm gonna be so much more wary When
you start to speak and my warm blood starts to boil
That seeing you is like pulling teeth And hearing
your voice is like chewing tin foil

*Repeat

High fives to a better judgement
By saying less today
I will gain more
Low twos to you my fickle friend
Who brought the art of silent war

*Repeat

You saw me lost in treading water
I looked pathetic and
As helpless as a stinger
Without a bee
Yeah
I knew the walls were coming down
And the stones that fell were
Aiming away from me
Hey what would it mean to you?
To know that it'll
Come back around again
Hey whatever it means to you
Know that everything
Moves in circles

I saw you standing in
My headlights
Blink blink blink
I thought I'd run you down
For the weight you left on me
But then I pressed rewind
Reversed and drove away
And see you
Disappear in my rearview
Brought to me the word
Reciprcity

Hey what would it mean to you?
To know that it'll
Come back around again
Hey whatever it meand to you
Know that everything
Moves in circles

Round and round we go
We could know
It'd end so well
We fall on and we fall off
Existential carousel
Spin

Hey what would it mean to you?
To know that it'll
Come back around again
Hey whatever it means to you
Know that everything
Moves in circles
Everything moves in circles

Round and round and *(x3)
Round and round
