Bucket of Blue

I like to turn off the lights just to see what I see
I like to stare at the dark, ’til it stares back at me
I like to poke philosophical bears in the teat
I like to wonder what makes up the ground at my feet
I really do.

I like to chew on ideas that should send you to sea
I like to think of the worst things that happened to me
I like to dwell on the demons that roam in my dreams
I like to think I’m not falling apart at the seams

And if it’s joy you need, I’ve got some for you
But it comes in a bucket of blue
All my happiness is laced with some sadness too

But don’t be afraid of the dark,
It’s a way to tell the dull from the spark
It’s a choice when the only alternative’s grey
And don’t be afraid of the night
Don’t you run from those feelings that bite
Every night leads you into a day

I like to turn off the lights ’cause I don’t like to see
All of the doors in the daytime that still need a key
I like to think I’m immune to debilitating fears
I’m not afraid, you’re afraid, these are happiness tears

I’ll admit that I’m a little bit grim
A consequence of this miasma I’m in
Marinated in the soup of disease and sin

But don’t be afraid of the dark,
It’s a way to tell the dull from the spark
My despair is a blanket that I cling to, I cling to
And don’t be afraid of the night
Don’t you run from those feelings that bite
Every soul’s just a little bit blue
Every soul’s just a little bit blue
Every soul’s just a little bit blue

Bright Blue Days

We are bright blue days, we’re the sun in May, a reason to rise
We’re the cream on top, we’re the torture stopped, to never revive
Never waste our time, hours on one line that nobody hears
We can shout our mind, and we’ll always find, somebody’s near
Life live bold, our garbage is gold
And from the top we’re sold

We are bright blue days
We are bright blue days
We are bright blue days
We are bright blue days

We’re the lost thing found, we’re the light made sound, loud and aglow
We’re the hope you’ve lost, we’re the coin you tossed, wishing to know
We’re the faith proved true, we’re the old made new, we are the flame
That will burn this down, that will fire this town, with nothing the same
And we are all we need

We are bright blue days
We are bright blue days
We are bright blue days
We are bright blue days

Fire. We’re on fire. We keep burning through the night.
Fire. We’re on fire. We keep burning through the night and straight on into the day

We are bright blue days
We are bright blue days
We are bright blue days
We are bright blue days
We are bright blue days. We’re the sun in May. And we are a reason to rise
We are bright blue days. We’re the sun in May. And we are a reason to rise
Bright blue days!

Good Guys with Guns

Grab your guns and everyone give thanks to Jesus Christ
Glory be, repeat with me, my freedom for your life
It’s a sin to have less firepower than him
Thoughts and prayers but no one cares We won’t be caught alone
Tooth for tooth is all the truth I hear on Sunday morn
Turning cheeks is for the pitiful and weak

They say God sent us a son
Come back to save everyone
I like to think when he comes
He’ll need some good guys with guns
Good guys with guns

Praise the Lord of guns and Ford, of Rambo and revenge
Keep us pure and ever sure our will will never bend
Can’t you see the only saving grace is me
Say amen to all of them that keep us safe and sound
On the three we’ll all agree to shoot whatever’s found
Say a prayer and rush into the broken air

I tried to save everyone
But I’m bleeding out in the sun
Can’t tell from whom I should run
Thank god for good guys with guns

And every fear’s a reason to believe
That no one saves but me
My solution all but guarantees
The worst of possibilities

Some kids bled out in the sun
We might have killed everyone
When all is said and is done
Thank god for good guys with guns

Earth and Air

Far from suffering and sorrow
Far from everything you’ve seen
Far from the weight of being

All your thoughts about tomorrow
All the things that you didn’t share
Lost to the earth and air

What a surprise to find that nothing stops but you
Memories are fire, they burn then fade
I wish missing you would go away
I wish missing you would go away
I wish missing you would go away
I wish missing you would go away

I wish missing you would go away
I wish missing you would go away
I wish missing you would go away
I miss wishing you would go away

And here is how we face forever
Here we’re points upon a line
Gone for the rest of time.

Drones

This is what they used to say, you work an hour, you reap the dues you pay
You might get laid in a car one afternoon
Then again, it might just be that love is all a distant mystery
Upon TV, where the plastic makes you swoon
And I’ve a mind to leave this scene a worker bee who says to his own queen
You’re oh, so mean. I won’t gather food for you
And I won’t work another hour for all the cash or anything so dour
As all the power. In the fading light, we all think flight.

You say that we’re lost without your feed
But the cost outweighs the need

And it all comes down
Yeah, it all comes down to market share

When we fall in line, your world’s just fine

You say that we’re lost without your feed
But the cost outweighs the need
And it all comes down
Yeah, it all comes down to the face you wear

And this is what they now all say, you work your life, you won’t miss much the day
You’re on your way with a fat 401k.

Made of Stars

If we’re made of stars, why aren’t we surrounded
By a fiery glow, burning out our eyes
If we’re made of stars, brilliant and astounded
Do we fear a flood washing it awry?
Wave upon wave breaks you down to a faint glimpse of soul
We are made of stars, beaten and we’re bleeding

We are made of stars built upon the lies
That we grow each day nurturing and feeding
And we gently pour right into our eyes
Heaven’s around you say – stars shining through in the day

Save your sell, you know damn well, I don’t care ’bout that now
Light the day your own damn way, I don’t care ’bout that now

All the joy that’s around us – the tastes, the smells, the siren’s spells 
All the joy that surrounds us and I can’t feel a thing.

Being made of stars feels like being grounded
Being made of stars weighs a million pounds
Wave upon wave takes me down to a down I’ve been down

Save your sell, you know damn well, I don’t care ’bout that now
Light the day your own damn way, I don’t care ’bout that now

Internet Famous

I wish I was internet famous
Anyone could claim us for their very own, I’d be
A virtual king. Folks would want to meet me
Stars, they would retweet me for cultural cachet
I would get a thousand likes a day, and they’d say,
“You’re famous on the internet today”.

I want to be witty and appealing
Every thread be stealing from the trolls that find us here
Always amused. Never, ever lonely
Newer friends are only a click or two away
Comic-Con would ask me to perform with Paul and Storm

Never notified, I’d be terrified
No one paying heed to what I say…

I wish I was internet famous
Anyone could claim us for their very own
I want to be king. I want you wanting me around
Everything that goes down would illicit words from me
Fame with nothing hard and no bodyguards
All your bases are belong to me.

Internet famous

No One Needs to Know

Blessings from above
I’m the final word on God’s love
And I’m praying for your soul
for the fires of hell to burn you whole
I’m not here to save
you are damned on earth and in the grave
You’ve a harlot, you’re a whore
you’re a thing that man and gods abhor

You’re the devil’s hand, but you understand no one needs to know
It’s the devil’s way, let me here you say no one needs to know

Lazing in your sin
where you’d love to grab and pull me in
But I’m too good for your kind
I can walk through sin and come out fine

You’re the devil’s hand, but you understand no one needs to know
It’s the devil’s way, let me hear you say no one needs to know

You’re not so strong that you can turn me wrong
I’m god’s own man.

You’re the devil’s hand, but you understand no one needs to know
It’s the devil’s way, let me hear you say no one needs to know

My Old Friend

It’s alright if you hate me
Though I don’t feel the same
But I’ve suspected a while now
That you’ve been going insane
You’re a boat on the water
Drifting further from shore
Maybe God will finally save you
Don’t call me anymore

And you say faith is the answer
When God closes a door
He will open a window
It’s on the twenty-third floor
And I’ve borne witness in quiet
Twisted things you believe
It’s been good to see you
I’d like for you to leave

You’re a feverish mind in the snow
And I’ve tried to be kind to this slow-moving suicide
Who believes they’ve already died
And are searching for kindred souls for the funeral pyre

It’s a sin for the ages
What you’ve been, what you’ll be
They say Jesus will forgive you
But he’s a better man than me
Yeah, Jesus will forgive you
But that doesn’t interest me

Around

I don’t mind if the sun don’t shine today
And I don’t care if the world it wears me away
‘Cause I know that when the clouds are grey
You’ll be right beside me either way
When the hills collapse and crumble to the ground
You’ll be around

If my brain were to leak and drain, my dear
Lose my mind and then never find it here
Well I don’t use it much when I’m with you
Don’t have to think about what gets me through
And I don’t even mind when ups turn into downs
All because you’re around

I don’t need for you to shake the ground
Or to tell me all that’s lost is found
I don’t need to have the fury and the sound
I just need you around
I just need you around
I just need you around
I just need you around

A Jerk’s Lament

Ice and snow over all you know
When it’s cold, you’ll go straight to me
I’ll be here. If you care, my dear
when the sky is clear I’m around
I’m the ground for the fall
I’m an old, forgotten doll
And I know when you’re low, you’ll call

Showed your heart. Blew your world apart.
And the path you chart, over here.
Staid and true, it’s just what I do,
For the times your blue and you’re near
And it’s not that I mind,
but you follow the same line
You will grieve and then leave each time

Most of the time, I’m fine, I’m alright
Praying that hell opens up your way
Life gets cruel, call upon your fool
And I’ll run to you every time
And it’s not that I’m bad,
I just hate to see you glad,
Come to me and I’ll see you’re sad

Most of the time, I’m fine, I’m alright
Praying that hell opens up your way
Life gets cruel, call upon your fool
And I’ll run, run to you every time.
I’m a jerk you can see
And I trade in misery
And I pray that you’ll stay with me.

Mind This Mind

Mama told me when I was just a babe to mind your mind
Don’t be falling for the first pretty face that you might find
‘Cause you might wake and find a devil inside
But that was then and I am older now, and must confide

The love of youth aint love of truth, but not quite lies
It’s all mistakes and hearts that break, searching for what makes our lives

So I ran far and away from this, the world was black
And all the love that I had kept inside, I’d not get back
Walking around violent, solo, and afraid
Never knowing just what it means to learn from mistakes we’ve made

But light showed through because of you, the stars bowed low
The love I saved was finally made boundless as all that we know.

And I’ll give you all my time if you mind this mind

‘Cause heaven made you only yesterday with eyes for me
And all the wrongs, they have been swept aside and cast to sea
Mama, think I found a girl that’s worthy of your praise
One that can be a helping hand to my violent ways

So let your down your hair, I’ll find you where your soul meets mind
The night is fast, the fear is past. Woman I am living to die in your arms

And I’ll give you all my time if you mind this mind.

The Basement Song

What kind of beast did I build today?
One that makes kids run and mothers pray
Or one that just hides in my basement all day singing, “Hey, let me out.”

Just like the madmen of yesteryear
Conjuring demons of love and fear
and thinking they will be loved ’cause I brought them here.

I only investigate the odd and the strange

And it’s all in the air, what you don’t give disappears anyway
and it ain’t fair, that nobody loves you down there.

So many things to say, all of these words
I wrote ’em down yesterday, now they’re absurd

Does the madman know he’s mad?
Is he combing the depths for a cure
To afflication that he dare not throw away?

We only investigate the edge of the sane

And it’s all in the air, what you don’t give disappears anyway
and it ain’t fair, that nobody loves you
and nobody loves you down there. And what you don’t give disappears anyway
and it ain’t fair, that nobody loves you down there.

Glad to See You Go

I’ve been out of words for days now I’ve run out of things to say
Not that you ever cared much what I had to say any way
See I’ve lost some friends, in my days I’ve never feared to burn a bridge or two
But with my surface worn down I give this match to you

But I’m fine if I’m left alone
A kingdom of one on a tiny throne
And I don’t need a peasant or a fearful serf to worship me and so
I’ll be glad to see you go.

So maybe you’re an angel and maybe I’m a clown
Or maybe I have left my wings in somebody else’s town
and instead of flight, I have traded them for stone and color on my face
and lacking all my plumes I took you in their place

But I’ve found I don’t need to fly
Anyway there’s not a lot of air when you’re that high
And I’m tired of breathing in and breathing in and never breathing out and so
I’ll be glad to see you go.

So get out, get going, get gone
Really think it’s best if you just move along
And it’s better for us both to just forget the fact we loved each other so.
I’ll be glad to see you go.

That Person Aside You

I liked your eyes and you liked my disguise
Part played so well you had no chance to tell
What man I was when I saw you because
I made me be what you need is what you’ll see

I’d fall right down on my sword for you
I’d make a fool of myself it’s true
I’m still in love with you

You’ll fall right down on your sword for me
You’ll make a fool of yourself you’ll see
Still sure you don’t know me

Wonder and weird. Overjoyed, over-feared
One day you’ll see someone else where I should be
We can’t let know and we can’t let this show
Run down our days with a stranger who stays

I’d fall right down on my sword for you
I’d make a fool of myself it’s true
I’m still in love with the things you do
I’ll keep this up for you.

My days don’t stop

They’ll always be on my mind you know

So baby let my money keep you warm tonight
Baby let my money keep you warm

So buy yourself a blanket and don’t worry ’bout the storm
And baby let my money keep you warm

Lost Cause

Rest your head on my shoulder, you are fine and fair
I don’t recall getting older, but I know I’m there
Am I a thing that you hoped for in the light of day?
Or just a thing that you groped for when the night held sway over you?

I’m not much more than my flaws
No use pulling out your claws, I’m a lost cause

I know everything wrong in all the things I do
Every terrible longing an affront to you
We could argue for hours, we could scream and shout
And if I bought you some flowers would you throw them out, or at me?

Trying to figure out the laws…

And so, don’t you know I’m your silhouette?
No one sees me without you.
Hang me to dry out or better yet,

Take me home

And make me whole

Jesus In Chains

Jesus in chains, doing your work for you
Use his remains, bolster your point of view
Gather your flock under a god defined
By your own talk and the whim of your mind

Jesus can come anytime that he wants to my door
But you I’ll ignore, ’cause I was born once before

Jesus in chains down at the grocery store
Books in his name sell for a dollar more
Does all he can, propped up against his wall
Backs up your man in the election hall

Jesus is practicing politics down at the mall
and I can’t recall when he sanctioned this all

And it’s so easy to believe in you
And it’s so easy when he talks to you and he shows you through and he prays for you

Jesus incapable talking the trash of the day
And all he can say are the words of your way

Let You Down

I can come on strong like an August day
I can be as sweet as anything to come your way
I can be a rose, my friend. Stick around with you until the end
Make my good impression. Get you on my side
Take you up to heaven – yeah I could be that guy
Pay attention to the things you’ve heard, it seems incongruous but rest assured
That I will let you down

I won’t mean to hurt you, not that you’ll care
But it’s as sure as, oh the earth to the air
So I’ll warn you ‘fore you leave this door, rest assured that you will hit the floor
‘Cause I will let you down

And what is worse, I come off as cursed
And the misery pulls you to me. Yes, I let the tragedy work for me.

I won’t mind if you just walk away and I’m sorry it must be this way
But I will let you down
Yeah, I will let you down
Yeah, I will let you down

Sixteen Ton Soul

I’ll trade my soul for some sixteen tons of gold
I’ll make it seem like it’s the best thing I’ve sold
I’ll break it off with rusty saws from my bones
I’ll box it up just for you

Can’t say I’ll miss it for a moment or two
Gets in the way when there’s things I need to do
Can’t be a monster with a soul, that is true
So I’ll be a devil with you

Nothing stays, nothing goes.
All the ghosts that you’ve known
I’ll follow you like dog
But I’ve got some shit of my own

Might be a body past that door over there
They get so tough to hide the less that I care
I’ve gotten used to all the stench in the air
As long as I’m here with you

You make the devil seem a mighty good friend
You make a life of servitude a good end
To hell and back, well I am happy to send
My soul and body for you.

Nothing stays, nothing goes.
All the ghosts that I’ve known
Follow me like dog
That smells out one of it’s own

The moral to this song if one you should need
Feel free to conduct any horrible deed
Make sure you’re worthy of the rivers you bleed
Like I’ve been worthy for you
Like I’ve been worthy for you
Like I’ve been worthy for you

Gravity

I think it’s time for me to fly towards the ground,
circle round, come on down.
I’ve been too long looking for things up in the air.
I’m aware that they aren’t there.

I wake each morning just to stop my dreaming ways,
they don’t stay and they don’t pay
I’ll stick to all the things I’m feeling in the day,
come what may, come what may

I’ll stop pretending that I’m working to be free.
Let the sea cover me.
Only excited when you’re lying next to me

So settle down. Everything is broken and the end is near, but you’re here.
And all around fortresses are falling from the atmosphere.
But I’ve got nothing to fear.

I’ll just sit back and watch the dying of the day.
Don’t worry now, you know I’m only here to stay.

So settle down. Everything is broken and the end is near, but you’re here.
And all around fortresses are falling from the atmosphere.
But I’ve got nothing to fear.

Let’s

Let’s fix, you and me
Every broken thing that we can see
All the pain and all the misery
Let’s start tomorrow
Let’s build, you and me
a towering impossibility
A thing of art, a thing of beauty we can show

If it don’t matter if it’s new or old
And we don’t have to wait until we’re told
Let’s fix it now before the iron’s cold
We’ll fix it once, we’ll fix it thrice, as many times until it stays nice
A wondrous world this would be
Let’s fix it you and me

If all you see is what cannot be done
You’ll surely miss out on the joyous fun
So come with me and we’ll reject no one
I trust you know this ain’t no joke, let’s pull together all the folk
And work on life’s mystery
Let’s fix it you and me
