Dreams are a Truth

Watch the cars come night and day, as doorman in Redondo Bay
Their wax shining like first snowflakes falling on Christmas Day
Business men playing their games, over a glass of chardonnay
While I’m sleeping under the bridge on Queens Way
Tell me dreams are a truth, in the city of angels
For as long as your star burns bright
Dreams are a truth, but as soon as you’re old news
Better take the high road, before you get stuck in its holes
Lit up the stage few years ago, me and my mates were always on the road
The nights a haze of women and wine in a different place
I flushed my money down the drain, on old guitars and acid rain
Now I’m fishing the garbage for scraps and takeaways
Dreams are a truth, in the city of angels
For as long as your star burns bright
Dreams are a truth, but as soon as your old news
Better take the high road, before you get stuck in its holes

Mary Jane

You sit across me on the bus at half past eight
Drawing a smile on my face as I walk in the morning rain
I stay at college late to see you leave with him
Can solve all math from the books but still can’t solve the pain
Inside, it festers in my brain
But I hope that you know that wherever you go
I long to be walking beside you
Cause deep down below I hope I can show
That I’m not gonna throw this love away
Oh Mary Jane
Another day at the office passed in vain
Sip another cup of tea, bring in a new class again
Sometimes I think I see her sitting in the front bench
Making notes, each letter filled with dreams
Sometimes I think these feelings don’t belong to me
But I hope that you know that wherever you go
I long to be walking beside you
Cause deep down below I hope I can show
That I’m not gonna throw this love away
Oh Mary Jane
But I hope that you know that wherever you go
I long to be walking beside you
But deep down below I know I can’t show
That I love you forever and ever
Oh Mary Jane

Weight of the World
04:28
|

|
There are storms and silent fights
Drowning my head and I
Sail on and crash into
Problems that sleep
Half awake
In my mind
In my mind
Cause you don’t like the weight of the world on your shoulders
You don’t like the weight of the world on your shoulders
Leeches on my neck
They paint my dreams back to black
Till there is nothing left to wake up for
And make dawn break
A new light
A new light
Cause you don’t like the weight of the world on your shoulders
You don’t like the weight of the world on your shoulders

Hillsbury Lane
04:30

In the coldest winter storm in years she scraped ice from her window
Every breath drew circles on the icy frozen glass
She gazed at the trees as snow raged through the skies
With slight unease it creeped up in her eyes
As she went downstairs and made herself some tea
The man in her backyard got up from his knees
He’d been watching her for days in the shelter of his car
Seen her tread through the corridors in her dressing gown
Like an eagle he had spotted every weakness from afar
Like the basement window left unlocked in the yard
As he snuck through the back he could hear her softly sing
An old lullaby it sent shivers down his spine
I had seen the cops go through the house on Hillsbury Lane
When I got back home my parents told me with great pain
That my brother was found guilty of murdering the girl
That had lived there alone he’d done it for the thrill
Since then late at night I see flashes in my head
How he hits her again and again
So is life, it takes for all it gives
And being sorry doesn’t change a thing
So is life now, it ends where it begins
In the dark black ink
It’s alright now she no longer feels a thing
So why am I sorry for my brother’s sins
It’s alright now soon we’ll all forget
Till it happens again
Until it happens again

Evil Inside
03:06
|
|||
|
Early one morning
Went down to the pond
Wisps of fog covered the reed
Sat down at the banks and
Cast out a line when her body
Floated upstream
Why, why
How did she die
Whose hands have sought her demise
Lies, lies
Trapped in their eyes
Beware the evil that lurks inside
They pulled her out of the water
And with no one to claim her
They buried her outside the church
Father O’Connor
Spoke a few words but no one
Showed up to the service
Lies, lies
Burning inside
Hands washed in holy disguise
Cry, cry
How desperate she cried
Beware the evil that lurks inside
When plowing the acres
Found blooded boots
And a crucifix with a name
Father O’Connor
Arrested in front of the town
The streets filled with shame
Fire, fire
Burn him with fire
Kill that rat at the stake
Lies, lies
For years he could hide
So beware the evil that lurks inside

Little Lois
03:24
|

You didn’t stop to say hello
When our eyes met in the hall
You lived upstairs on your own
Never seemed to be someone
But you fell for a life
That you never could survive
What am I ever supposed to do without you
Little Lois
Back then I didn’t know your name
You never seemed to say
Much of anything
But at night the door would swing
Strangers came and went
Your screams pierced through my head
What am I ever supposed to do without you
Little Lois
One day I came back from the store
Found an ambulance at the door
What am I ever supposed to do without you
Little Lois

It's Over Now
04:10
|

|
We met during college time
Made love in our dorm rooms at night
Spoke vows in your hometown
The years promised kids and house
But it’s over now
It’s all over now
You always caught my tears
Tamed my deepest fears
Now you’re in a chair all day
Staring your life away
Do you know somehow?
That it’s over now
I’ll take the pain
Even when you forget your name
It’s hard to accept the truth
This man’s nothing like you
He’s nothing like you
You started to mix up names
Sometimes wouldn’t speak for days
The doctors all had no clue
Till he was beyond their cure
Why do I wish somehow
It’s all over now
I’ll take the pain
Even when you forget your name
It’s hard to accept the truth
But he’s nothing like you
He’s nothing like you

Lost Highway

Hello hello, is there anybody out there?
In these plains of silvery dust
Feel in my veins that life slowly drains away
Ghastly eyes are lurking at me
Hello hello, is there anybody out there?
My lungs sear from the howling wind
Darkness creeps in but I’m frozen like a sculpture
The clouds weep burning stars for me
Hello hello, is there anybody out there?
The screams around me pierce my soul
In the shadow stands a man with eyes like drones
A smile that chills me to the bone
I cry and I sleep
I bleed and I weep for you
I hold on for dear life
I fight through the long night for you
I crush and I crawl
I rise and I fall for you
Hello, hello is there anybody out there?
Cause I’ve lost my way around
Hello, hello is there anyone to fill the gap
The big black hole that’s in my head

Learn to Breathe
04:19
|

|
When the med said he was afraid
Our boy would’t last another day
All life estranged derailed
Confined to your bed all morning
Our tears were hardly comforting
The words we spoke hollow and broken
Even though when you awake
This life will bring you nothing
Nothing but pain
Oh please just learn to breathe
Just learn to breathe for life
In scenes I still recall
How the play you staged would fall
And earth she shattered down upon our heads
Even though when you awake
This life will bring you nothing
Nothing but pain
Oh please just learn to breathe
Just learn to breathe for life
Even though when you awake
This life will bring you nothing
Nothing but pain
Oh please just learn to breathe
Just learn to breathe for life

The Call
02:32
|
|||
|
When the call came
You were dancing in the hallway
You said: the mother picked our little home
I didn’t know much, but I knew that I loved you
That was all I felt I could do
Through the snow we
Rushed to the hospital
The roads were shining like glass
We missed the exit but I told her we’d make it
That’s when the car hit and stars struck my eyes
The child was born but
Lost its new mother
About an hour after that
I stood in front of it and wished I could kill it
If that would make her come back

Love Again
04:55
|
|||
|
Look at the way the wind blows
In the same direction, as our time together hit the shore then dissolved
You said we got tangled up in the same throes
Now I’m sitting here in our bedroom with nothing to soothe these woes
Love isn’t always on time
It gets lost in a drawer
But no matter how long, how far
You will love again
Sometimes I can hear your voice whisper
In the echoes of my memories you said that we would always be
Still wonder why I couldn’t make you crave me
Why that ring on the table cloth is collecting dust untouched
Love isn’t always on time
It gets lost in a drawer
But no matter how long how far
You will love again
