Deranged 03:09
Take your time finding out for what it’s worth but in between i’m doing just fine i’m rambling through in changing forms i’m little deranged and often derailed oh please don’t leave out on the storm breathe i’m rather satisfied i knew the devil by her clothes and if it seems i’m always out of sight i’m sometimes here and then i’m mostly gone a little deranged and often derailed please don’t leave out on the storm
2.
Let me follow you down i insist Let me follow you down what’s gotten into you i know you’re crazy too that’s what i love you in you Let me follow you down you’ll resist i’ll insist and all the rain and the goddamn pain we’re the fallen dust and pollen on your lips and in a way i’m becoming dust and pollen on your lips Let me follow you down i’ll dig a hole for you in space and time for you i will preserve your youth Let me follow you down i insist i insist Let me plunder the sound of the wind for you and with your silence too i’ll write a song for you and all the rain and the goddamn pain we’re the fallen dust and pollen on your lips and in a way i’m becoming dust and pollen on your lips
3.
Open the door for your lovely heart in the saddest of times the saddest of times and if you like to bring happiness in life it cuts like a knife it cuts like a knife losing your soul to them evening girls is a tempting regret and that’s what you’ll get then all came tumbling down all i want is a hideaway if it’s not too late along the waterfront i’ll stay and there’ll be always light I burnt the bridge but the water’s wide i got stranded that night i’m still there tonight And if it seems ,well you’re out of luck where is your god where is your god you went adrift in the pitch black land and the morning won’t come the morning won’t come
4.
Let it rain 03:12
i’m still here facing a road sign move ,everything’s fading away we’ll fade away that’s what lovers do it’s hard you see i guess i don’t know how everything’s turning to grey quite the day to be lonely now in here Oh let it rain oh let it rain getting free, it was always the wrong time changing the turn of the wheel oh what a thing to be hoping for but i’m still here forming the moonlight with all the light i can get right from our bed i’ve just set on fire in here Oh let it rain oh let it rain
5.
Going home 02:53
I’m surrounded by hunger i could cover my eyes and as the day goes by i’m growing weary and tired Lonely mouldering people forgot how to smile yet if treated right they’ll discard all their night and light will show I’m going home I’m going home I’m going home blow wind blow i’m going home i’m gone And if the trail leads you nowhere try reaching the end another lesson learned you are one step ahead And if fear is your rival embrace it and laugh this funny thing called life is the art of the living for the lost I’m going home I’m going home I’m going home blow wind blow i’m going home i’m gone
6.
Magic wand 03:35
The truth is here to stay in a metaphor -intensive wave- and the lines perceived as rain are falling right in your empty veins the corrosive light of day we’ll call it even while the rest is vague and it’s you all night long doing what you want with your magic wand Will it keep you from relaying falling deep into depression babe an impostor took the role of the hero and then indulged your soul my old boots are full of holes as i’m falling in your lovely swamp and it’s you all night long doing what you want with your magic wand always you you always you the fog you bought was used the way you roll you’ll get ‘em all confused and all bets are off tonight bended wheels and you hold the dice and for you for you for you they will fight until they’ll know they’re doomed and it’s you all night long doing what you want with your magic wand
7.
Next of kin 04:01
Somebody put me on a train and i’ll go lightly on my way wearily , merrily, probably My pockets will be filled with sage i’ll hand it on my colder days to birds and bees i will be their Next of kin I’ll shout it from the mountaintop oh how i walked on frozen ground full of dead weeds how they bloomed as if was spring I saw the gathering at hand proclaimed and fallen into sand and shattered hills binding all remembering Then i’ll be back for you my dear to wash away the city’s feel and you’ll marry me and carry me indefinitely
8.
She don’t mind as the demons fill her eyes bathing in a pale blue light ain’t that right who will come and rescue you from your own mind well ain’t that right they’ll try to fool you and rule you tonight my baby don’t mind And if you’re feeling lowdown now and if you’re all alone hold on to me and let your tender heart run free And if you’re feeling alone come to me She don’t mind She don’t mind if they all play run and hide ain’t that right who will come and save the day our hero died well ain’t that right they’ll try to fool you and rule you tonight ain’t that right she don’t mind my baby don’t mind And if you’re feeling lowdown now and if you’re all alone hold on to me and let your tender heart run free and if you’re all alone come to me i’m the one you need
9.
Mausoleum 03:01
All my love is a mausoleum for painful delight born and raised in the ocean floor by a a ray of light All my love is an avalanche of pure pearly white diving deep in a universe of ravaging night All my love is a mausoleum born and raised in the ocean floor by ray of light
10.
Ain’t it strange when i give roses i feel like i’m Moses parting waves aside then they flow back into the ocean always a notion of us losing ground against the world but i’m becalmed here and you are a whirlwind on the rise on the rise Love is mute Love is blind our folly tender and steep In your arms in your bosom I understand the night Then she came along with the others well no one bothers that the flood is nigh oh i know it is wonder it’s good underwater for the soul deprived no one knows what i have become dear and i need a crowbar for my mind for my mind Love is mute Holy blind when i’ll fall i will fall in a land on a rainy day oh let her come let her come in my arms on a rainy I’ll understand the night
11.
Worlds collide all wild frolic but in the room was nothing There comes a time all mine i found out was forming from my nothing Then we’ll arise more wise it’s alright we’ll make do with nothing Is this the real thing or i’ve lost a pair of eyes above the walls i know they’re tethered skies are we moving or the ground is swirling round i don’t want to get pinned down underground It get’s hard Oh so hard And you stand in the room laughing Worlds collide all wild frolic it was only my Sweet Nothing

-if happiness could be felt
we’ve just met our end -

Upheaval

befell
and watched and then turned its back

to the shadows

all is well , all is lost

downtrodden foremost
