The Man I'm Meant To Be

Woke up by the side of the road
It was the end of an episode
Looks like a heavy load ahead
My girl says she loves me still
To the sound of a dollar bill
I’m on my way, where I can’t say
The road is stretchin’ out before me
And I’ve been blind but now I can see
The time has come for me to break free
And be the man I’m meant to be
Used to tell me to love myself
Said you can’t be no one else
But here I am it’s plain to see
Touch and go when your feelings hurt
But won’t you give me a little squirt
And adios ma cher amis
The road is stretchin’ out before me
And I’ve been blind but now I can see
The time has come for me to break free
And be the man I’m meant to be
Tell myself there ain’t nothing wrong
That life is short but the day is long
And the sun can shine on all these tears
Pick it up right where I left off
My skin is thick but my belly’s soft
And new love could be around the bend
The road is stretchin’ out before me
And I’ve been blind but now I can see
The time has come for me to break free
And be the man I’m meant to be

What You Do To Me
04:48

Your love is like a potion, got me all mixed up
My anchor's up and I’m riding on the crests of waves
You’ve got my knees feeling weak, my resolve is almost beat
I’m giving in to the minds of my enemies
Been feeling pretty good, since I met you
The feeling I had before must have been pain
Got me feelin’ the love, when the push comes to shove
Got me believing in things that are insane
Your love’s got me jumping for the rafters
You touched something deep inside of me
Your love’s got me heading for disaster
That’s the kind of hold that you’ve got on me.
Your love’s like a cascading fountain
Pouring through the caverns of my soul
I’m standing where the sky meets the mountain
At the scene of a cosmic magnetic flow
All I ask is for is eternal peace
And to never feel pain
Won't you tell me life will never end
Just like a video game
I think love is like an ocean
I’ve heard it’s just like an open book
Is it a work of fiction or biography?
I’d like to write our story, and sing it to the moon and stars
And let the stars shine their light back on you and I
Your love’s got me feeling so peaceful
Like a great weight’s been lifted off of me
Your love’s got my head full of distractions
That’s just what you do to me

Polar Eyes

You see polar eyes
And wanna capitalise
You’re waiting at the gate
And they say it's not too late
To make a brand new start
But you’re just about to lose heart
Cause you're all alone tonight
In a world that's never been half right
You want to turn the key
Rework the mystery
Turn it inside-out
But for you love of self-doubt
And if the sun would shine
On the wheel of time
And not slip past your life
Like so much melting ice
You could have it all
You could have it all
You could have it all
You wanna go your own way
They want you to stay
Just say the words you’ve gotta say
And when the world turns over
You’ll make your escape
Just play the game you’ve gotta play

Syzygy

I was at sea, the waves surrounding me
Call me the breeze, wind through the willow tree
I was in above, you were a turtle dove
Nothing to see, just move along please
The planets aligned, Mars and Jupiter
Saturn was mine, it seemed at the time
You were just steps away, the skies opened up
And I had one chance to say, took all of my nerve
We speak of our dreams our philosophies
and of how we humans being, suffer the world
but could we be more naive, you said “the forest is the trees”

The Gospel of Judas
04:05
|
|||
|
We wandered through the desert mounds
The sun it lashed the blood stained grounds
An inner voice our only guide
But was it light or darkness?
And though I doubt I do not fear
What angels may be coming here
We move with pride and do contrive
That we should walk with purpose
He said I had the inside track
He said that we should never lack
With all my brothers gathered round
We danced until there was no sound
His words resound inside my skull
“It’s you that must betray us all
take this secret and bear this shame
On your name for all of future history”
“You do the great disservice
No word can ever leave your lips
Upon this act here lies the weight,
Of the entire edifice”
The hardest word the word of truth
The word that shines in blinding proof
The moment of epiphany
Embodied in the corpus
The sacred blood pact came to pass
Profane and blessed to the last
In the end the twin did rise
And here he stood before us
With drunken devils I will burn
And writhe for all eternity
The greatest sacrifice was mine
If reason ever follow rhyme
We wandered through the desert sands
The sun it lashed our blood stained lands
An inner voice our only guide
But was it dark or lightness?
So here I lie on my own cross
Misunderstood the sin of loss
This is the end of my time here
It’s for my friends to tell the story

Rising Tide
03:26
|
|||
|
I’m going down to the river
Gonna bring all my troubles thither
And I won’t be back till I see that hopeful sign
I’m gonna rest my head
On that lonesome river bed
For the rising tide to wash my tears away
Sometimes it’s something that can bruise
Sometimes it’s something that’s confused
I’m gonna lay right here with these hopeful low-down blues
When I sit back to watch the news
It’s tough to tell the fake from truth
And I sure don’t hear any kind words that soothe
I’m gonna sing my truth
Till I’m long in the tooth
Till there's nothing left to say and nothing left to prove
I know that one day I’ll get free
One day I’ll have new eyes to see
And the sun will rise and shine through my front door again

Outta Here
04:25
|
|||
|
You were all alone
Shunning the setting sun
You witnessed from afar
And anyone could be where you are
I, just by chance I passed by
You thought hey why not give it a try
Your love is like an empty ocean
So, I went for a swim
The whole time you were thinking within’
The sky is full and out of fashion
I’m outta here
When I last saw you I assumed
There’s some reason that you’re in my room
Your only thought is slowly fading
This time, a lie for a lie
The truth for the truth
You're right in that it’s not worth saving
I’m outta here
You had what I wanted
You took it for granted

I Wanna Be Your Man
03:58
|
|||
|
There’s a narrow path that leads from you to me
It’s as long or as short as you want it to be
From your shellfish gaze to your vanity
your child like smile to your majesty
I Wanna be your Man
I’ll be the one to turn on the sun for you
Do anything that you want me to do
I’ll jump through burning rings of fire for you
If I say it enough maybe it’ll come true
I Wanna be your Man
There’s a turn of a phrase that I wish you could see
A line in a book that you’ll never read
From your star crossed haze to you apathy
Your smiling eyes that say that it could be me
I Wanna be your Man

Alone
06:04
|

Once you’re gone
I won’t say anything at all
To no-one
You’ll catch me off of my guard
And you’ll run
Bury your head in the ground
Bury your head, after..
All this time
You won’t say anything at all
To my face
You tell me that you need your space
And you spend all your time alone
You spend all your time ...
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
I’ll take that
To mean you want me to go out
With my friends
But all I can think about
Is your bed
Where you spend all your time alone
You spend all your time ...
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
You don’t need to worry about it
All you’re doing is waiting it out
Don’t you even think about
Get back up and make it count
And when It’s done
I’ll say “thanks that was fun”
And you’ll be gone
You’ll be gone
You’ll be gone
You’ll be alone
Here’s the part
Where I switch the horse and the cart
What I build
You spend your time taking apart
Why on earth
Did I spend all this time alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone

Don't Say Goodbye
04:30
|
|||
|
(For Matt Sharpe)
I know it’s been so long
And all that shit’s gone wrong
I still think these memories are worth saving
If you’re moving on
Cause all that’s good is gone
It’s o.k. to cry
If we talk it through tonight
Maybe we could shine a light
And unearth some old memory we’ve forsaken
Maybe we can’t make things right
But there’s still some hope in sight
Just don’t say goodnight
Life it moves so fast
And no friendship can last
Cause none of us are tied to what we’re saying
But when I look at the past
There’s a shadow that it casts
Just don’t say goodbye
I woke up last night in a cold sweat
Is there somewhere to escape to
Is there some place we haven’t conquered yet
Just reach out your hand if your cup be empty
You’re light years ahead of me
Crying why can’t you awaken me?
If you’re saving face
It’s a shame and such a waste
To take yourself away from those who love you
You can go at your own pace
But if you chose to go with haste
Just don’t say goodbye
Maybe we can’t make things right
But we can sure put up a fight

Why you gotta go into that?
You’re talkin’ a real big game
You said it’s time to move and to show and prove
But there’s nothing really here to gain
You got a lot of words
But not a whole lot to say
If you could get out of your own way
You’re always talkin’ down to me
Why's it have to be like this?
I think you’re simple as a front door step
And dumber than a pile of bricks
You got a lot of words
Spillin’ over everything
Your meaning is lost on me
Trees are wrestling in the wind
But what’s the point of being friends?
Takes a community to raise a child with
Emotional intelligence
You’re makin’ lots of sounds
But nothin’s making too much sense
But just what could it all mean?

Don’t you cry
Don’t you cry
Don’t you cry
My child
The cotton is high
And your daddy ain’t rich
But you got your mama’s looks
Don’t be sad
Don’t be sad
Don’t be sad
My love
Yes we all must go
Every sparrow falls
But that’s what makes this life so sweet
One day this
Will all make perfect sense
Till then just hum along
From the eye of the storm
To the bottom of the sea
The centre of the earth
To a distant galaxy
All that I have I give to you
All that I feel and all that I see
All that I know, you know it too
And that’s the truth that sets you free
And in time all things have passed
Into an endless empty sea
Floating on the void
A wave.. eternity!
I know it’s hard
I’ve been where you are
But now I’m here for you
And don’t you cry
And don’t be shy
Hold your head up high Hannah

Garden Sky

Pick up the phone
Call your mom
She said you were gone
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
Take me with you
There is so much in the world
So we simplify our load
But I like that you break this mold
Open your eyes
Look deep inside
You'll find me there
Tell me your lies
Ask me your questions
Yes I do
Yes I do
There are too many cars on the road
Let’s just stay out of the cold
And be the other half to hold
You’re such a sight
I’ll stay up all night
and write you this song
I’ll write it with love
Pouring down from above
From your garden sky
From your garden sky
From your garden sky
From your garden sky
