Nom de Guerre

So much more than a name, trust the shifting sand
Don't let it define - cling away, don't demand
Slinging mud or slinging love, which will heal a wound?
Truth builds a door to open
I don't know where to begin to tell you
Don't know how it will end - I want to
So much more than the skin, what eyes identify
Don't let it define - actions speak where bodies lie
Are you zeroes, are you ones, or something else instead?
Truth liberates the stolen
I don't know where to begin to tell you
Don't know how it will end - I want to

Summertown

Now's your time
Rise and shine
Open your eyes
We can fly
I hope I never let you down
Summertown
Hundreds of miles
What we found
Seven states
Look around
I hope I never let you down
I hope I never let you down

Sally Forth
04:15
|

You were selfish to the end
I was a fool again and again
All the lies you served with smiles
And my eyes – I chose to be blind
We carried on, we played our parts
I worried sick night after night
Lied to myself when I knew the truth
You openly gave me proof
I never wanna see your face again
I never wanna see you again
In the shadows, they followed you in
I watched them come and go
Nothing was sacred and nothing was true
Indiscretions with people I knew
Until we struck the stage
Until we signed the final page
I was your fool again and again
It started the day I let you in
So
I never wanna see your face again
I never wanna see you again
Not again

Monitors
04:13
|

Asleep like a monitor, a patiently blinking light
An amber pulse and no one is missing tonight (that’s wishful thinking)
You haven’t been turned off in a long, long time
And that’s the only way you’ll ever get turned on again
They were called blue movies – is Hollywood the saddest setting
For faking intimate moments (with all those cameras)
It doesn’t seem to turn you on, or relieve your stress
That’s not the only way life manages to turn you off
So you turn up your guitar and hope for the best
Asleep like a monitor, and everyone’s sleeping tonight
Asleep like a monitor, and everyone is sleeping tonight
Sleeping tonight
Go to sleep tonight

The Dialogue
04:03
|
|||
You sent it in a telegram, like that makes it a secret
And the desperation was received, but I don't wanna hear it
You wanna claim the wonders and keep them shackled to land
The world you know from magazines through the eyes of a blind man
And sometimes, I see us trying
Some of us are learning, past denying
It's not directly our fault,
But the history of our skin makes us complicit
You said your rights were stripped away, just like you're in a prison
But you've never known a jail cell, you've never been hemmed in
Life for us is comfort that's not afforded to all
And I wish there were no margins, no lines to divide us at all
Believe me, I've been tone-deaf too
And I have a lot to learn, just like you
So stand up and share this weight
We can learn and rise above before it's too late.

Beloved
03:50
|
|||
I live for waking up with you, with you
Nothing else compares to you, to you
At least we know what love feels like
And now we know what we have to lose
Sundays are worthwhile with you, with you
Even with the working week in front of you
At least we know what love feels like
Love is the simplest thing to do
And at least we know what love feels like
Even in a world where nothing is alright, nothing is alright, nothing is alright

Divided States
04:25
|
|||
We watch the news today
Watch the world go up in flames
Our words tarnished with hate
Watch the world go up in flames
Watch the families divide
Dragging down where anger hides
Our bonds dis i n t e g r a t e
Watch our hearts bleeding dry
We cross the line
Do you mean the words you say?
You'd burn down Paradise today?
We cross the line

Kaleidoscope

I can't sit down, o I'm on fire
And nothing rhymes - it doesn't matter
Here's my sentence and time will tell
Broke and I'm broken and nobody knows
And the world keeps spinning, bless my soul
Through the lens and set adrift
And life is careening out of control
Turn the wheel and the colors shift
And I keep quiet, with living proof
We're powerless in the lion's mouth
A calendar, or a ticking bomb
I spoke but it's token, when the jaws have closed
And the world keeps spinning, bless my soul
Through the lens and set adrift
And life is careening out of control
Turn the wheel and the colors shift
And the world keeps spinning in reverse
Through the eyepiece, light reveals
All distractions bad to worse
In a fairytale ending I want it to be real.
