Breaking the Sound Barrier (mp3)

The Open Road

I don't want to tell you anything
You don't already know
I don't want to be here
When it's time for you to go

I don't want to hear anything
About your new life now
I don't want to sit here
And be your pal

It's ok, cause I'm happier this way
I've really simplified my life
The sky is clear
The clouds are gone
The open road is long

I don't need to catch you
Stammering in a lie
I don't want your kiss
Your kiss goodbye

There's So many other places
I would rather be
Next to an elephant
Sipping on some tea

Dress for Obscurity

I have to go downtown
To try on some new gloves
My crayons have melted
Together one the floor
My baby shoes are still bronzed
I feel a song coming on
And I’m trying to be less popular

I was busy folding road maps with a friend

I’m uncomfortable when I’m alone
Or with others
So, I began to fulfill my potential
But none of my socks would match

The last time I went
I never came back
So I preferred to remain
An enigma
I left my body
In my other clothes
And I dressed up for
I dressed up for
I dressed up for obscurity

Your Metronome

I’ll take the photographs
The memories
Be here today
I’ll take the photographs
Be in the picture
I don’t want to be here anymore

Snap shots of memories
Framed in glass
In Kodacrome
Out on the windowsill
I see you left
Your metronome

I’ll take the photographs
Cause I can’t get the picture
Of you out of my head
I’ll take the photographs
Cause I don’t need the memories
I don’t want them any more

“Twilight, into the darkness on top of a hill down by the ocean under the stars along side the sage brush in between the moments of our closeness and the silence lies the unspoken the unanswered the understood. I am always here for you, I am free when I am with you in the happiness in the sorrow in the present, twilight…”
I’ll take the photographs
Cause I don’t want to be in the picture
I don’t want to be here anymore
I’ll take the photographs
Cause I can’t get the picture
Of you out of my head

It’s so hard to say
That you’ve gone away
It’s so hard to stay
You stole my heart away

Out of Phase

Three scoops and
A broken heart
Cause, I’m fallen’ apart
Two glasses on an empty shelf
Now that I’m by myself
By myself

I’m not fooling around
It’s getting me down
It’s time to leave town

One night in an empty bed
Dreams of you
Through my head
One day I’ll find away
To understand how I feel
How I feel

I couldn’t get into your mind
Even if I had enough time
I wandered around
As if in a daze
Everything in my life
Out of phase,
Out of phase

Smile (when you are ready)

Smile when you are ready

When I learn to be free
I will fly away
Stay close to your innerself
It has a charming way

The heart is wiser that the intellect
Listen not to vain words of empty tongue
Something special is coming your way today
A person's reach should exceed their grasp

Only I can decide
What is important to me
Bide your time for success is near
A happy life is ahead

Is now the time to try something new?
Wishing you, wishing you a good journey

Runaway

Was it you out there somewhere
On a hill so far away
We used to be so close
But now I hardly know your face

And love has gone away

The sky was dark the clouds rolled in
Only to find you gone
How could you be so careless
How could I be so wrong

And love has gone away

Are you going to listen
Are you going to leave
Are you going to listen
To a word I say
Are you going to listen
Are you going to leave
Are you going to listen
Or just run away
Runaway

And love has gone away

Matches

I no long have excuses
For why she's not here
All this time I made exceptions
She had other things to do

It's a sad expression
I'm crawling back to you
All these things I've hoped for
And dreamed of them for two
And when I look back
At the things we've said today
I hope forever that you will feel the same

It wasn't me, It wasn't her
Just never the right time
For a meeting of the minds

She packed her matches in her make up bag
And walked away
Still I don't know why
It had to end this way

Ten years have gone by
And I still think of her
The letter opened and laying on the curb
One day I'll wake up and
She will be right here
All the things I hoped for
And I can’t let it go

Oneirism Undercoat: The last 69 days

Here in the Ravoux is where I will lie
No one will notice, no one will cry
And in the afternoon I dreamed of two
They were so helpless, what could I do?

Dark cold and gray
Cause the rain can't wash away
Stormy turbulent skies
All the color has drained from my eyes
I've been dreaming my world in blues
The wind blows the dust on a path that I drew

One year before, I was stillborn
Next to the house, it was etched in the stone
There was the name, I was to take
Fields of green corn, in the distance forlorn

Dark cold and gray
And the rain can't wash away
Stormy turbulent skies
All the color has drained from my eyes
And I'm dreaming of meadow rue
None of these paths lead me back to you

Here in the wheatfield is where I will die
No one will notice, black crows in the sky
And in the afternoon, I cut off my ear
Now that you'll listen, I can not hear

Already Here

I was waiting on a future
While dreaming of the past
When I notice in the present
Things couldn’t last

Take what you can from a moment
Hide it away when you need it

At the moment that I realized
The smoke was in my eyes
So I stole away a minute
We all know how time flies

When I was younger
I didn't care
I thought the future was already
Already here

Fluid: Kurt Cobain, Felodese

I'm a man made of glass
Can't you see right through me
I'm a dream from the past
I'm coming to get you

Late at night I lie in my bed
Things can get better
It's something inside
It can't be denied
But I'm always listening

I'm a man made of glass
Can't you see right through me
I'm a bird high in the sky
You'll never know me

And as the fluid in my veins
Brings to me all that I live for

I'm a man made of glass
And can you see right through me
I'm a dream from the past
But you can not forget me

Late at night when I lie in my bed
I'm feeling better
It's something insane feeling inside
But I'm feeling bedder

But as the fluid in my veins
Brings to me all that I live for

I know that now I've gone insane
This moment is all that I've lived for
Now that I've blow out my brains
This song is all that I've left you

Everywhere

You left your underwear by the stairs
You've left it on the floor by the door
You've left your self respect out of check
You're going to need it when you leave us behind
You're going to need it when you're running blind

There was no consequence for living on a fence
You've left those things undone and now you're on the run
You've left your underwear everywhere
You're gonna need it when you run out of time
You're gonna need it when you're river runs dry

And every time the seasons come around
You're out of town
And every time the moment strikes you down
You come around

You have no alibi for the reasons you've lied
And all those things you've said now floating in your head
You've left your exposed now everybody knows
You're going to need it when you leave us behind
You're going to need it when you cut back in line

You left your underwear by the stairs
You've left it on the floor by the door
You've left your underwear everywhere
You're going to need it when you're running behind
You're going to need it when you cut back in line

You've left your underwear everywhere

Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
Ahh... Hey baby
