Crystal Vapour Figure
You're a creature of the night
I can see you up in lights
And when I close my eyes
I can see your vapour rise
So high
And I often dream of snakes
And I wish you’d do the same
But you often dream of trains
And you wish I’d do the same
See it in reflections in your eyes
And a crystal vapour figure caused me to linger
And I wanna hear a day a day in the life
For the rest of my days I’ll play
The part where he says Ahhhhhh
It’s in your eyes your eyes your eyes
And a crystal vapour figure caused me to linger

Exercising Demons
At greed filled intersections I pause for mild reflection
They’re going to do it anyway no matter what I say
A derel here a derel there this is the place where
They go ahead even when it’s red even when it’s red
Drink away the hurt and the darkness hides the dirt
You are the light that burns bright only half the time
It never shines inside you can’t get off this ride
A carnival for the complacent living in glass containers
I close my mind in indignation ironic mustache nation
I’m going to shave your face and hate
Give yourself to me chemicals run free
No apologies that’s how it’s gonna be they’re all inside me all inside me
In time we’ll see fear replace the greed
You know there’s gotta be some humility
They’re all inside me all inside me
It’s your time I’ve had mine & you’ve made it clear
And we wish you’d disappear
We know that you think you’re entitled to these things
But the pendulum will swing and you won’t feel a thing
They’re all inside me all inside me

A High Winter Sky
Sun burns my eyes
A high winter sky
Smoke from the fire
Rising ever higher
This side has seen
Too much sun it seems
Watch the fading rays
Shine another day
Now I can’t deny
A high winter sky
Now I can’t hide
The sun is in my eyes
Sun burns my eyes
A high winter sky
Smoke from the fire
Rising ever higher
Now I can’t deny
A high winter sky
Now I can’t hide
The sun is in my eyes

Burnout Girl
You want it all and you’re walking tall
There’s no room for me in your economy
More than you need thick as thieves
You’ve got it all and there’s none for me
The grabbing hands grab all they can & what they have is all you had
I’ve got this feeling like I’m dreaming
I don’t believe in what I’m seeing
When you hear an army a car horn harmony
A cacophony surrounding me
The grabbing hands grab all they can & what they have is all you had
And you’re hand is in the till and it’s grist for the mill
Intersections filled with ill will they filled
And I’ve seen this all before and soon you’ll all be shown the door
Headed for a crash internet cash it won’t last
Camero rides Atlanta nights Hot blooded on the radio
Lite Brite and Kiss Alive Let It Bleed on the stereo
And I dream of Jeannie watchin three’s company
And in the valley boredom was killing me
The grabbing hands grab all they can & what they have is all you had

Tweakers (Three Different Ones)
I held my tongue for so long that it was numb from poison
You kept the cards so close to your vest we could only guess hidden from the rest
Sometimes I’ll hide
Feels right inside
I could never be the one a military son under your thumb
Twenty one guns in the sun a long time to come to succumb
Sometimes I’ll hide
Feels right inside
One day I’ll rise
My light will shine

Skin of Porcelain
I wish one day you wouldn’t leave that way
In such a state in all that pain
And we won’t pretend that it’s always been
A fantasy what you want to see
In your eyes you can’t hide you kept it all inside
You’re getting young with age and you’ve reached a stage
Where you can’t be blamed and you won’t be shamed
But you can’t be blind to all those times
And all the rage that still remains
In your eyes not in mine in full flight can’t deny
It was yours now it’s mine and I am traumatized
And in the time that remains while you’re relatively sane
My inner child would like to come out for a while
In your eyes not in mine in full flight can’t deny
It was yours now it’s mine and I am traumatized

The 90's Were My 60's
I was spun on Dolores park dirt weed back when thrift store scores were everything
And it never really made much sense to me when the girls tried so hard to look 13
I really miss that scene those years were good to me
Back when indie rock was weird and mean
Staring at the album covers and the saturated colors
A new record really meant something
The weakest jingle jangle tones then you're overwhelmed by the wall of sound
I really want to hear something mean
I really miss that scene those years were good to me
Back when indie rock was weird and mean
I never want to leave you know I want to be forever in the 90's
I was spun on Dolores park dirt weed back when thrift store scores were everything
And it never really made much sense to me when the girls tried so hard to look 13
I really miss that scene those years were good to me
Back when indie rock was weird and mean
I never want to leave you know I want to be forever in the 90's

Window Licker
I could see it in your eyes
A look of shock and surprise
Never let me say a word
Your voice was all we heard
I let the summer slip away I held it hostage every day
The seasons here they never change the years go by all the same
Forever
Looking through shards of glass
Dreams of memories from my past
Tiny tendrils hold the dirt
And my darkness hides the hurt
You’ll be what you want to be surrounded by yourself
You see who you want to see but I see someone else
You’ll say what you want forever stuck in self
Forever

Thaw
Turn the outside in uncomfortable in my skin
I know you feel the same only see through eyes of jade
Time stood still and I was frozen every moment I had to hold on to break the golden chains
How long do I look inside before I avert my eyes
And I wasn’t there that day they showed us how to play
Time stood still and I was frozen every moment I had to hold on to break the golden chains
I am a solitary man grains of sand running through my hands
I wanna sleep and never wake to face another day

Burning Barbies
I’ve seen this horse before - It’s one of four - And you know the lore
Ride at first light - All through the night - And they darken skies
And when they ride - Grim thoughts arise - Scales are on my eyes
When they ride I can’t hide turn the tide deny their lies
Turning day to night - Blocking all the light - And the horse was white
There’s a second scroll - One you’ve seen before - Behold the black horse
Voices in my head - Everything they said - And the horse was red
When they ride I can’t hide turn the tide deny their lies
When they Ride… Ride
And when my mind sells me lies - I won’t buy – Every time
I look inside – I’m paralyzed - I don’t know why – I’m traumatized
I hope to find - The wound inside – Cauterized
She’s a serpentine - Friend of mine - Our lives entwined
For all time - Her soul is mine - The stars aligned
When they ride I can’t hide deny their lies turn the tide
When they Ride… Ride
And when my mind sells me lies - I won’t buy – Every time
I look inside – I’m paralyzed - I don’t know why – I’m traumatized
I hope to find - The wound inside – Cauterized
