TWO LIVES
DREAMS
CROSSED
Nostalgic Memory
There was a time
Possibilities were endless
But I was too scared
To take that leap
I thought I understood
I thought I could
I want to know what it’s like
The time is ours
We are the ones
The ones who carry the weight
Coasting along
Making no waves
I’m destined inside
But there is not enough time
Every day on repeat
Is this how it has to be?
I had so many dreams
Now it all feels make believe
Ascend through the ceiling
Mind separates body
Drift into another space
I can’t escape this feeling
I want to know what it’s like (two lives)
I want to know what it’s like (colliding)
The time is ours
We are the ones
The ones who carry the weight
Coasting along
Making no waves
I’m destined inside
But there is not enough time
I want to know what it’s like two lives, I want to know what it’s like
Watching in slow motion
I read between the lines
This life that we lead
Isn’t like the movies
Lost in disappointment
Disdain is your enjoyment
Can we find ourselves?
Between lies and fake
Where am I?
I can’t find myself
Is this really happening?
The plans we made
Are the dreams that never came,
no they never came
Seeking connection
Nothing seems real
Everything feels surface
We’re hiding the way we feel
Where am I?
I can’t find myself
Is this really happening
The plans we made
Are the dreams that never came,
no they never came
Losing your form your embrace
It’s so warm, my escape
Where did you go?
Isn’t that your glow?
Ghosts walking among us
Show me its blasphemous
This life we lead
Isn’t like the movies
Seeking Connection
Seeking Connection
Tell me things
That I want to hear
Watching you undress
Temptress
I’ve got the cross to bear
This shame I feel
Confess
Did you mean the things you said?
Cross my heart
And dream to die
Can’t get that night
Out of my head
Cross out, cancel
She silently says
Come Closer
You’ll like it
Come feel it
Can’t deny her
Cruel temptress
We crossed that line
So obsessed
Sweet temptress
Your touch, only if tonight
Swear you’ll be mine
At a crossroads
I’ve been double crossed
X out the eyes
Innocence is lost.
RADON
Remember 1921
Modernized under the gun
What will it take? For you to see
It's right there, Greed.
You’ve taken everything
Pushed them away, the sins of yesterday
To be forgotten
Pretend like we're not there, nothing else compares
Like a mountain we stand firm
Reaching out with our heart on our sleeves
It took almost 50 years
For you to finally see
With fingers in both ears
Accepting death.
Greed through blind eyes
Turned your back as one more dies
One more, Kettering
Fueled by lead
So many lost, too many dead
They've paid the cost
The impact’s appalling
All because of you
Fueled by lead
So many lost, too many dead
They’ve paid the cost
The impact appalling
All because of Kettering, Kettering, Kettering
RAZOR TONGUE
It's that look
The one that pulls me in
Simply calculating
Hidden all behind the grin
It's those words
I gave it my all
but you only gave it 2/3
Everything is what it really ever was
You know it's not because
It's the way you say it
that makes it so poetic
with your razor tongue
Its love, its defeat
I'm nothing without you
A glimmer of possibility
A sense of escape
Everything is what it really ever was
You know it's not because
It's the way you said it
that makes it so poetic
with your razor tongue
I don't know
We collide
Those words, that thorn in my side
I can't let you go
Those eyes say more than
your words ever could
A fire tempts the night sky
The tragedy that you've made
Everything is what it really ever was
You know it's not because
It's the way you say it
that makes it so poetic
with your razor tongue
We collide
Those words, that thorn in my side
I can't let you go
Those eyes say more than your words ever could
The odds are against us
We're two of the same
Go on with your mistrust
Find someone else to blame
We're two of a rebellious kind
We're two of the same
Find someone else to blame
We're two of a rebellious kind
Those words cut deeper
Go further than any fist ever could
The fire tempts the night sky
Pulling it in
Like a moth to a flame
