LYRICS:

I was raised up believing I was somehow unique
Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes, unique in each way you can see
And now after some thinking, I'd say I'd rather be
A functioning cog in some great machinery serving something beyond me

But I don't, I don't know what that will be
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see

What's my name, what's my station, oh, just tell me what I should do
I don't need to be kind to the armies of night that would do such injustice to you
Or bow down and be grateful and say "sure, take all that you see"
To the men who move only in dimly-lit halls and determine my future for me

And I don't, I don't know who to believe
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see

If I know only one thing, it's that everything that I see
Of the world outside is so inconceivable often I barely can speak
Yeah I'm tongue-tied and dizzy and I can't keep it to myself
What good is it to sing helplessness blues, why should I wait for anyone else?

And I know, I know you will keep me on the shelf
I'll come back to you someday soon myself

If I had an orchard, I'd work till I'm raw
If I had an orchard, I'd work till I'm sore
And you would wait tables and soon run the store

Gold hair in the sunlight, my light in the dawn
If I had an orchard, I'd work till I'm sore
If I had an orchard, I'd work till I'm sore
Someday I'll be like the man on the screen

LYRICS:

She walks in so many ways,
She wonders alone in the shame,
She shakes herself in the glass,
And whispers all things will be silenced.
She turns herself with the scene,
Clouds burst, our eyes never meet
..slow as a.. in the sunshine.

Where you go, don’t let go,
Where you stand
I will stand stronger than the wind.

We live in houses of light,
Our dreams stay with us at night,
She whispers all things is all right,

All things are just as they should be!

Goodbye…
She moves among them,
She lives among them.
Where you go, don’t let go,
Where you stand
I will stand stronger than the wind.

She walks in so many ways,
She wonders alone in the shame,
She shakes herself in the glass,
And whispers all things will be silenced.

LYRICS:

I have heard the wall and worry of the gospel
Ferry faust it crossed a void
I have married broken spoke charging smoke wheels
Spit and swallowed opioid

I am the driver at the wheel of the order
Marching circles at the gate
My eyes have seen the fury
So flattered by fate

Tonight I'd rather count the warm fuse internally
Subtract the silence of myself
I would rather choose a million mind of mystery

Reverse a riddle for my health

I'll unwind strange rinds overpower me
Toss the chimneys in the sea
I believe I've seen the finger
Divine extremity

Please come closer to the feather smooth lens fire
Sadness is my luxury
Will you ever join the cult come before I die
More aware of it than me

Without the blowing stone
The kids are unabashed
Loneliness postponed
My eyes deceiving glory
I was born to die alone

Alone

LYRICS

Whistling over trestles
And past the graveyard sign
We cast our wayward line
Inside a wishing well
We've just a wish and an empty vessel
A hole to fill with days
On a road where children stray
Then pray there is no hell
And as for heaven, well
If seeing
If seeing is believing
I'll believe it
Believe it when i see it
I'll believe it when i see it
With my own two eyes
If seeing
If seeing is believing
I'll believe it
Believe it when i see it
I'll believe it when i see it
With my own two eyes
This ain't no random shuffle
There's reason in these rhymes
A season and a time
In a climate of fear and blood
In the tavern two men did scuffle
Their drunken battle moaned
They groaned like cattle groan
No diamonds here in the rough
And as for peace and love
If seeing
If seeing is believing
I'll believe it
Believe it when i see it
I'll believe it when i see it
With my own two eyes
If seeing
If seeing is believing
I'll believe it
Believe it when i see it
I'll believe it when i see it
With my own two eyes
And when faced with a difficult decision
Would you listen to your heart or mind
We're bound to waste all our free will and ambition
If we got no vision
and we got no spine
And as for peace of mind
If seeing
If seeing is believing
I'll believe it
Believe it when i see it
I'll believe it when i see it
With my own two eyes
If seeing
If seeing is believing
I'll believe it
Believe it when i see it
I'll believe it when i see it
With my own two eyes
See it with my own two eyes

LYRICS:

Big mountain, wide river,
there's an ancient call,
these tree trunks these stream beds,
leave our bellies full
they sing out, I am gonna stand my ground
you rise to me and I'll blow you down
I am gonna stand my ground
you rise to me and I'll blow you down

Hey Henry, can you hear me,
let me see those eyes
this distance, between us
can seem a mountain size
but boy, you are gonna stand your ground
they rise to you you'll blow them down
let me see you stand your ground
they rise to you you'll blow them down

My darling, my sweetheart,
I am in your sway,
two cold climbs, come spring time
so let me hear you say, my love
I am gonna stand my ground, they rise to me and I'll blow them down
I am gonna stand my ground, they rise to me and I'll blow them down
cause I am gonna stand my ground you rise to me and I'll blow you down

LYRICS:

He was so kind, such a gentleman tied to the Oceanside
Lightin a match on the suitcases latch in the fadin of night
Ruffled the fur of the collie neath the table
Ran out the door through the dark
Carved out his initials in the bar
When the earth shook that was all that it took for the dream to break
All the loose ends would surround me again in the shape of your face
What makes me love you despite the reservations
What do I see in your eyes besides my reflection hang in time
Are you off somewhere reciting incantations
Sim sala bim on your tongue
Carving off the hair of someone's young
Remember when you had me cut your hair
Call me Delilah then I wouldn't care

LYRICS:

Met myself a comin' county welfare line.
I was feelin strung out, hung out on the line.
Saw myself a goin', down to war in June.
What I want, all I want is to write myself a tune.

[Chorus]
Wrote a song for ev'ryone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote a song for ev'ryone
And I couldn't even talk to you.

Got myself arrested, wound me up in jail.
Courtesy of lyricshall.com
Richmond 'bout to blow up, communication failed.
If you see the answer, now's the time to say.
What I want, all I want is to get you down to pray.

[Chorus] x2

Saw the people standin' thousand years in chains.
Somebody said it's different now, look, it's just the same.
Pharaoh spins the message, round and round the truth.
They could have saved a million people, how can I tell you?

[Chorus] x3

SINGLE:



LYRICS:

I don't believe in absolutes anymore
I'm quite prepared to admit I was wrong
This life it sucks your principles away
You have to fight against it every single day

These are the postcards from a young man
They may never be written or posted again
These are the postcards from a young man
They may never be written or posted again

It is like so many other things
As distant as your former sins
So sad and lonely and so derelict
As the optimism that we once shared

These are the postcards from a young man
They may never be written or posted again
These are the postcards from a young man
They may never be written or posted again

I'll send you postcards every single day
Just to prove I still exist
This world will not impose its will
I will not give up and I will not give in
And I will not give up and I will not give in

I won't betray your confidence
I won't pretend my way was lost
This world will not impose its will
I will not give up and I will not give in
