Dog Day
03:32
|
|||
Dog day standing in the sun
and the shadows are escaping my grasp
whichever way I turn
they slip away
sun is so hot, and the ground it burns my feet
wanna run and hide but I can't get no relief
sweat drops down my spine
saltwater hits the floor
I'm in for it this time
can't seem to find the door
bus stop standing in the rain
and not a roof in sight
water melts through cotton
onto skin
my mane is soaking and my shoes are feeling wet
wanna run and hide yeah, gettin a little upset
a drop falls down my spine
freshwater hits the floor
I'm in for it this time
can't seem to find the door
stare across the table, a girl is in my sight
golden locks falling cross shoulders so slight
she's not the one I love, but I can't let her know
how could I tell her when she's staring at me so
chills run down my spine
my foot taps on the floor
i'm in for it this time
can't seem to find the door

Five Minutes Ago
03:27
|
|||
Sitting in the kitchen
I was looking in your eyes
taste of coffee on your lips
our love is no surprise
Winter morning and we sit inside
letting go of our foolish pride
warming up to let our souls collide
there's nothing that we can hide
Just sitting in the kitchen
I was looking in your eyes
taste of coffee on your lips
our love is no surprise
Sun is shining in my window
and I can feel you on it's rays
the warm embrace will only grow
it's all bright and sunny days
Just thinking back five minutes ago
to the simple things I've come to know
why move fast if you can take it slow
just sit back and enjoy the show
Be my gentle breeze
the apple of my eye
sunshine on my face
my eternal starry sky
let me love you sweetly
love you so completely
Sitting in the kitchen
I was looking in your eyes
taste of coffee on your lips
our love is no surprise

What You're Looking For
05:30
|
|||
Sitting here wasting time in this reality
struggling with our impending mortality
drifting helplessly through this endless sea
asking for who you want to be
reaching higher and achieving new feats
one fell swoop and you're back on the streets
crashing, clashing, dodging the rocks
guarding an identity in your precious black box
you can't find what you're looking for
you can only live out your life
tearing yourself apart with effort
is hardly a solving strife
realization is admiration
for a man you undertand is real
caressing and impressing with his gift
other's can't steal or reveal
if you wanna know me, know you first
cuz we all well know that deception is worse
than the ones who loved you through the times that you lied
the ones who shared all the tears that you cried
it's a nameless pain out there on the streets
heartlessly staring down at your feet
cold and alone in a world so extreme
waiting on a love supreme
you can't find what you're looking for
you can only live out your life
tearing yourself apart with effort
is hardly a solving strife
realization is admiration
for a man you undertand is real
caressing and impressing with his gift
other's can't steal or reveal
In the endin end
you know we can be friends
if all is forgiven at hello

Roses Lie
04:42
|
|||
Roses Lie
shining like diamonds in the dirt
glorify themselves
hiding their ability to hurt
to see one
with petals full and a smell so sweet
but try to pluck it
and only thorns you will meet
draw your bleeding hands away
only to try again another day
to take the beauty into your grasp
knowing full well it won't last
roses lie
camouflaging all their faults
with the most enticing smells
to draw you to a halt
catching your eye
with morning drops of dew they sparkle and shine
with a splendor so untrue

Bright white
a sunbeam gleams
across glass at last
enticing the ice
glitter and glow
heavenly arrow
float on by
in a frozen sky
the world can be old
the world can be cold
but in bright sunlight
frozen glass shines outright
a frosty enclosure
calls for extra composure
simple tricks
we're optimistic
remote we float
on freeze and seas
one with the sun
over snow below
stuck in reflections
engulfed in light
pure and clean
the surface is right
entrapped you hide
tethered and tied
steal the chance to glide
and above reside
pursue what's true
purity and virtue
in a whiter hue
is a fresher view
the lights are on everywhere
beneath the ice, you're stuck downstairs
|

We've got bluer skies and we have greener grass
we're living on the other side,
it's all lilies and sassafras
I'm holding onto you, love, you're holding onto me
we're free from all the push and shove
drifting in an eternal sea
puppy eyes and little white lies
we sit beside the world and hide
longing laughs and photographs
a music staff for my better half
peace of mind is what we find
when what's defined is undermined
dancing shoes and last week's blues
simple things to choose to refuse
the sunshine is our ally and the rain just keeps us cool
simple bliss that money cant buy
looking out at the fools
shining smile and sparkling eyes, a hand to hold a hand
we're living with our bluer skies
the heart's sweet holy land
puppy eyes and little white lies
we sit beside the world and hide
longing laughs and photographs
a music staff for my better half
peace of mind is what we find
when what's defined is undermined
dancing shoes and last week's blues
simple things to choose to refuse
lifetime for lovers
freedom to feel
the touch of the tender
to realize what's real

Fall Into A Dream
04:38
|
|||
Take a break now from living
rest your weary eyes
put your mind to sleep now
cease your troubled cries
let go of your sorrows
abandon all of your fears
don't worry about tomorrow
just put an end to your tears
fall into a dream
let solemn sleep surround you
on reality's seam
only slumber's thoughts flow through
and in the glory of victory
you raised your glass
a toast, is what you say
to a troubled day passed
but now it's completed
the battle's over and won
let your wounds be treated
until the rise of a brand new sun
fall into a dream
let solemn sleep surround you
on reality's seam
only slumber's thoughts flow through
moonlight
midnight
a celestial flight
in my sight
a hand so slight
to a fist of might
oh the things the things the things
these dreams invite
fall into a dream

Never Turning
03:44
|
|||
You're always walkin across that golden bridge
and I know that I am too slow
my heart stirs, but my feet can't carry me any further
You're just ahead of me
but I'm a mile behind you
Your hair is tossin, blowin in the wind
catching rays of the sun's glow
it's a mystery to me
what's a dream or reality?
I feel that shiver, knowing you're nearby
and my tongue it just won't untie
you smile
I stand there wishing you'd stay a while
you say hello to me
wishing I could say I love you
You walk, never turning
I am hopeless, distant yearning
and I think that, I am learning
fight the feeling that keeps burning
keeps on burning
some liquid courage, I call you up one day
just to see what I can say
I hear, not a single ounce of fear
coming through the wire
it's coming through today
I'm ready to find you
You walk, never turning
I am hopeless, distant yearning
and I think that, I am learning
fight the feeling that keeps burning
keeps on burning

Another Day
03:15
|
|||
Another day flies by
another day you're shy
but time is my ally
another day we'll see
if it's just a friend you'll be
or if there's more to you and me
never really knew
if this young love is true
in the big, deep, blue
ocean that I see in you
now I can only try
as the summer days do fly
to catch your looking eye
and then never say goodbye
will you ever see
that you matter so to me?
that my love will never flee
if you'd only just agree
I could find peace of mind
One and one is two
all it takes is me and you
with a new point of view
we can make it pull through
when I look up at the sky
the stars would not deny
the knot that we could tie
the earth we could defy
it's my one last plea
just to hear you guarantee
that most wonderful decree
that you want to be with me
I could find peace of mind

Sweet Goodbye
07:35
|
|||
It's complicated
was all the rain could say
in it's sweet, coded rhythms tapped on the roof
his head turned out the window
witnessing the soggy scene soak up dryland
and he know's that he can't fly
She didn't know how much he loved her
she never took the time to care
he was lost in the bright white light
when she caught him unaware
just thinking he might die
under it all
we're subject to the rise and fall
and when the earth sinks below the storm
we'll find our own way too keep warm
Vision gets obscured by the settling smoke
that sleeps softly on jagged black rocks
and ears can't hear through the chilling hiss of the tainted rain
that feeds off the life of the flame
his eyes turned to the sky
it's complicated
said the ground as it swelled up
with the polluted drink
life in puddles lept out of the earth
to finish the frenzied flame
and he can only cry

Like getting change for a dollar bill
this is gonna make sense
legally I can drink
as soon as that ace hit
if you can’t hide from the truth

and the only thing on my mind
is get my swagger right
shorty do what I like
shorty do what I want
lil mama goin down like she can’t float
I never been a thug
but I always been a prep
and I never short some cash
but I always write a check
all this ice up on my chest
has got me sicker than a
colder than the Antarctic
money never counterfeit
I feel it flowin
fame it aint slowin
and Imma keep on going
and no one’s gonna stop me now
comin fresh into the game

Lamplight brings a gentle glow
to the quiet city below
where occasional headlights flash like eyes
or tiny, flickering fireflies
people drift by like schools of fish
companionship a worn out wish
left behind in old park benches
carvings buried in love's lost trenches
storelights shut down
life comes to close in a quiet town
and we pack our things and go
and the only way to grow
is when you come to know
that somebody somewhere is waiting for you to care
and if you want to fly
don't ever lose the sky
don't let a cold stare catch you unaware
under bridges are spraypaint tributes
where rocks crumble under society's roots
and in the slums a church's steeple
is a beacon of hope for god's lost people
a serene park is natures answer
to filthy streets and drunken dancers
a place where we can run and hide
from the subway rails that we would ride
and the only way to grow
is when you come to know
that somebody somewhere is waiting for you to care
and if you want to fly
don't ever lose the sky
don't let a cold stare catch you unaware

The angel holds her hand
lifts her off the ground
her body lays
where it will stay
her legs begin to sway
she opens her arms
and learns to fly
as the ambulance arrives
“It’s a long way up to heaven”
that’s what the angel said
through the clouds
sunlight lays a path to take them home
floating in the sky
they drift along
not too far from
another passerby
but what about my family?
and what about my friends?
I’ll see them again
at the end of the end
Peter nods his head
she gets to the gates
as her mother waits
to hold her in her arms
In Loving Memory of Maddi Kiefer
