Float Away

Float yourself away
You were never here to start
Put your eyes into the clay
Put your heart into a jar
Laugh the night away
There ain’t nothing keeps you down
I know you play the fool so well
And everybody loves a clown
Oh no
Float away with the wind
Don’t look back, don’t look in
Float away, feel the sun
Just forget the things that you think you've done
Oh no
Throw it all away
Make a hotel suite a heart
Lock the doors and turn the lights off,
When you walk into the dark
So what’s left?
What’s left when all is said and done?
Was it the moments that were shared?
Was it the best of your intentions?
When you told yourself you cared?
Oh no
Float away with the wind
Don’t look back, don’t look in
Float away, feel the sun
Just forget the things that you think you've done
Oh no
I am nothing
I am gone
I am missing
When the morning comes
I am gone
I am gone
I am gone
Gone

Above The Neck

Stand, fan, out in the wasteland
Silk, soft, slipping through my hands
Eyes turn, ashes to urn then it’s
Knees deep sinking in quicksand
Pulse quick, lose it to liquid
Don’t move, palms sliding slick when
All fails, no lesson to learn
Bad man’s burden to bury, to burn
And despite it all I feel so high
Lifts me off the ground
Hellfire from the sky
Breaks me up and down
Hands up, begging for mercy
Chest high, deep down and dirty
Stone gaze, never a flinch
Mouth sewn shut, and heads in a ditch
Sink, sink, just getting faster
Hold fast, not that it matters
Breath slips, just for a moment
Bastard sun, oh my god and master
And despite it all I feel so high
Lifts me off the ground
Hellfire from the sky
Breaks me up and down
(Eye-ey-Eye-ey-Eye)
(Eye-ey-Eye-ey-Eye)
(Eye-ey-Eye-ey-Eye)
(Eye-ey-Eye-ey-Eye)
Kills me, never to know
Feet hits bottom in a shit filled hole
Last chance, pit of the stomach
Runs from the tongue to the tip of the sole
And despite it all I feel so high
Lifts me off the ground
Hellfire from the sky
Breaks me up and down
To live where vultures dare and fly so free
Far above my earthly problems low
Unbound by gravity and bring-me-downs
What do they see, what do they know?

Fascist lines, clever minds
Underneath the moon
Sanded lines, warning sign
Gone but not too soon
A glass smash rattlesnake,
Quite the music makes
When I was young
I used to run and hunt, how fast I flew
But I had not yet grown my teeth
For what I was to do
And now I’ll come for you
All eyes and snout and run you down
My claws to peel and look beneath
The meat that I have found
30 long, long nights till I’m all in,
Can’t you feel it crawling under your skin?
30 long, long nights till I’m all in,
Can’t you feel it crawling under your skin?
Now I’ve grown cold, and big, and bold
And care not much for games,
The scars I wear, the scars I give
One and all the same
And then some day, with hair all gray
And eyes no longer bright
I’ll go with a smile that’s as wide as a mile
Out of mind, out of sight
30 long, long nights till I’m all in,
Can’t you feel it crawling under your skin?
30 long, long nights till I’m all in,
Can’t you feel it crawling under your skin?
In your eyes, I see the moon
Shed my skin, but it’s far too soon
And I don’t know what gets in my head
If it find you, if it finds you…
30 long, long nights till I’m all in,
Can’t you feel it under under under
30 long, long nights till I’m all in,
Can’t you feel it under…
