CYCLEs (2014)

 
 

Kitty Chaser (Explosions)

I've got an eye for nothin'
And everything at once
Depending on the hour
I see things from high up
I look down and I look out
People come and they go
The business to my right is growing so well on it's own
And through the plastic red I seeA family of 19
But by tomorrow you can bet
Another family tree
They're always on the clock but
You'll never see them go
It happens in the darkness
That way you'd never know-

Explosions in the sky
Reflected in their eyes
Another way to get to know the tiny street you live on
Explosions in the sky
Rejoice cause' no one died
Another way to get to know the tiny street you live on

And I exchange most everyday
Just while the children sing
watch for glass beneath your feet
and there's one other thing
A few blocks down they turned around
But it won't be too long
Until they shift and spin
And sing another country's song

 

Complex Pt. I

Rain all day, and sleep all night's what they'll say
I lay down the plan and lead the race
minds they go, when you think about the past
if memories keep slipping through, could you make it last?

Clouds hang low, and the sun has turned its back
and it's hard to keep your head up, if you see just what you lack
still the sun in some respects, a change can pave the way
and it's not clear, but have no fear, it's coming any day

A change in the way, that you think and feel
thrown to the wind, and the path gets sealed
changing the way, that you think and feel
thrown to the wind, and the path gets sealed


20/20

Where have the real emotion's gone?
Has it been this way for so long?
Now, it doesn't seem like its ever gonna change.
If it was easy it would be easy.
If it was simple it would be simple.
Simple. Simple? Simply split in two!
Momentum of mountains don't move you.

Your plastic journey in 2020
Is your pseudo trip seen clearly?

If I understood I would understand.
If I had another limb it'd be another hand.
If I could read 'twould be between your lines.
If I could make it, oh I'd make more time.

Your plastic journey in 2020
Is your pseudo trip seen clearly?
Your plastic journey in 2020
Is it funny that it’s sunny when you’re seen sincerely?

He's only flapping his gums,
But I mistook it for a gun
If you ain't got a heart then there ain't no blood
But now, how will you be seen when its all said and done? Ohhh!

In cars and trains the words just seem to fade and slip away
its like the smoke from a cigarette, which lingers briefly.
Your fingers breathe the air.

If cars and trains and words just seem to fade and slip away.
Just like the smoke from your cigarette that lingers freely, lingers free in the air
lingers free in the air

Ohhh!

 

Complex Pt. II

I'm used to feeling strange and feeling twice my age,
I have to sell and buy my time
I'm through with making sense
and being on the fence and standing in the longest line


10 to the day and 20 to the night
pay the man 30 or more til it feels right
in the morning when i start again
and my own fascinations are my new best friend

Ooohhh wooo-ooooh

I'm feeling right again and I dont know how long its been
things are now returning to the places that I left for them
and when the tables turn exactly like they always do
wait for me to find my way and meet you on the other side

Some lines are hard to see
And I dont even know who I'm supposed to be,
but I think I'll ride this train along (ride this train along)
and in the light of the day with all the words you say
I always know what's right and wrong (right and wrong)

Woooo-oooahhh

10 to the day and 20 to the night
pay the man 30 or more til it feels right
in the morning when we start again
and my own fascinations are my new best friend

10 to the day and 20 to the night
pay the man 30 or more til it feels right
in the morning when i start again
and my own fascinations are my new best...

Woooo-oooohhh

I'm feeling right again and I dont know how long its been
things are now returning to the places that I left for them
and when the tables turn exactly like they always do
wait for me to find my way and meet you on the other side

The Median

I've got this feeling that will probably get away from me
but I will take it cause it's hardly ever there
and it's so simple that you might not even realize
it's so simple that you might not even care.

And from the morning to the evening holding on to it
because it's got me feeling like I'm really glued
and I don't even care to know what was the cause of it
or if it even matters that I haven't got a clue

But maybe I, I didn't hear what you said then
and maybe I think you've got it all wrong
after all, I wasn't there when you did it but ya gotta know, gotta know

That all these days turn in to one
and all this light has just begun to shine
let's take this time, and work it out
'cause we've got time

I'm not that sure just what it takes to make a proper plan
I haven't got a clue what drives a person or a car
my brain is just so different from the average median
and everyday I probably take it too far

So if my patience loses touch with your reality
and I try to fit a circle to a square
it's safe to say I'm losing touch with your reality
which begs the question, should I care?

But maybe I didn’t hear what you said then
and maybe I think you've got me all wrong
'cause after all, I wasn't there when you did it but ya gotta know, gotta know

That all these days turn in to one
and all this light has just begun to shine
I’ll take this time, won’t wait it out'cause we've got time

 

King for a Day

Say what you wanted to say
I've got a plan for the day
running around for a while
screaming the words with a smile

We all know just why we're here,
that's just what it seems
up and down and in and out
as fast as you can dream

Saving the time in a jar
stored in the trunk of my car
locked it away for the sun
waiting 'till spring has begun

I'm all ears if you've got patience
what it takes to understand
this state of mind, this lack of grace,
this brand new look upon my face
