Guardians of all that is new
Gardens before me and you
Knowledge there, lives to be led
Until death came for the ride instead
The roads are closed inside your grave
Where miles and hours can't be saved
Spin my feet to craft this cell
Spin my feet to leave this hell
(Chorus)
Hamestarah...Four black walls where your iris used to be
Hamestarah...Blind to all the signs we failed to see
Hamestarah...Now I know where the dead end waits for me
Hamestarah...
Memory leaking from my mind
Send me back to humankind
And now I'm losing the key
Life is now foreign to me
(Chorus)
(x2)
How long until my past becomes the frame for my own future?
How long will my own prime live a half-life through the screens you're glued to?
How long until we are once again the talk of universes?
How long?
(Chorus)
Hamestarah...Four black walls where your iris used to be
Hamestarah...Blind to all the signs we failed to see
Hamestarah...Now I know where the dead end waits for me
Hamestarah..There to make an example outta me

Breathless

Take this stage again (I can't fix you)
Maybe one last time (I can't save you)
Far too tired to endure
The pain beyond our pleasure
You are void of desire
And now I lack it, too
(Chorus)
Descend into familiar dark
Where decades wither away
Where lovers wear a mask
And slowly make one of you
See a blank, craft a face
For your vision
Now it leaves you as you once left me
Why does my life belong to you? (I can't fix you)
Why does the white flag fly with pride? (I can't save you)
Stand in a mess that I must own
You disappear, but I'm not alone
Shattered promises wallow in my living pool
(Chorus)
I can't fix you
I can't change you
I can't save you
I won't keep you
(Chorus)
Came as I was, went as I am
Now I leave you as you once left me

The Good, Long Time

(Chorus)
"Here for a good time, so to speak
Until I reach the end I seek
Too long a time will make me weak
The bottles have their word to keep"
"Who says there's no room for this game
When you abandon all of your odds?
Who needs a rundown of the rules
When you've already won in your mind?"
The moves you make return to square A
When you go numb, the pain is here to stay
So run the tap for as much as you need
And stoke the fire for as long as you need
It's the repetition on which you feed
(Chorus x2)
Sell you whole life for one more high
Wait 'til tomorrow for one more try
Assume the position, don't be shy
Just smile and leave them wondering why
*I know all that you lose for me
To come here often under amber sea
Once again becoming ball and chain
To turn your heart into a world of pain*
Crawl to your Mothers for one more spot
Crawl to your Fathers for one more shot
Return to the fire, it's all that you got
In all the time it takes to rot

The Man In Red
04:34
|

|
Born of a mother's hope, expectation raised.
Streets of the unknown never forget.
Father's run out of love, I'm on my own.
Looks like the stage for failure is set.
Enter a Wanderer, one with the path.
"Your questions were once mine, I know your tongue."
One cause too many is all I've left to lose,
So show me your way, show it fast, and while I'm young.
Night follows day to smile upon a man in red
These roads of history call him James Dean
Where is my garden? What does it mean to me?
Laugh and a drag, then he says, "You tell me."
Present meets past along these halls nursing time.
Dean looks around, it becomes a mirror house.
Bulb head says legacy is immortality,
So shall we crown drive the one and only spouse?
"Climb to my ship adrift, five floors above,
Where the aesthetic remains a blank space."
Out on the sea of scribble, scratch, and strike,
Living through what you leave behind is the best trace.
"Well done," the man in red says, hand on my back.
Turn to return the praise, and no one was there.
Big Apple shelter of the not-so-lost.
Come with a purpose, and leave with self to share.
*I reach the harbor, and what awaits me there--a carriage of silver, eyes fixed on the West. When all is said and done, I'll take the ride, the final destination reserved for the best.*
He will find you, he will lead you
To the bridge of life and death,
From paralysis into greatness.
Godspeed, Professor Dean.
Night follows day to smile upon a man in red.
These roads of history know him as Jimmy Dean...

Just A Man

Something inside is makin' itself known
Life in the shadows, now the cover's blown
With these foreign feelings I sit alone
With all the love set in the cobalt stone
Stop the spinning, I need answers--
Switched one day or born this way?
So I stand a freak to be studied by all
"If we don't meet under sheet, what the hell's your flaw?"
Don't mind me, I just want to shatter the wall
My body longs to answer a new type of call
Take my hand, love, revel in each other's sight
But no, I can't help two become one tonight
Exit fear, it's all so clear
Life's become my piece of cake
Exit all your loaded questions--
"Confused, experimental, or just mental?"
Father, I'm not the boy you think I am
Listen to me closely, I am JUST A, MAN
You're the one who's entered the phase
Pray to see the end of those days

Chased after Heaven in all my debt
Hell existed in my touch and sight
Going blind through the fire I set
Never was that good at fight or flight
So I crash-landed in their outfit
None of this prize was supposed to hit
So hard I redefine the whole damn path
With new direction in the aftermath
(Chorus)
In the darkest day
The truth reveals itself
You are your own way
Find or make yourself
Suffered love lost and a friendship stained
Recovered in time for identity
Do bottom of bottles nurse life retained?
Maybe it's a promise of serenity
Let the dead speak up and lead the way
May they safely guide me from their fantasy
Quick will arrive the elephant sleigh
To attack the mountain against sanity
(Chorus)
Reset for second wind
Release a promise pinned
That's the way to find
Your self, old, now, and new
Must shelf the worst in you
Make it so in mind
