The Lottery

Kill the radio
Until we take control
Keep warm in the unknown
Before we can come home
 
And now I know
Where energy air flows
It blinks through walls
Upside-down waterfalls
It’s full or not at all
 
So kill the radio
And maybe say hello
Before we disappear
Sparks in the chandelier
 
And now I see
It’s not the lottery
It’s yes and no
Not guessin’ where to go
It’s more and more narrow
 
Love is not the end
It’s just the beginning
Love is oxygen
So come on breathe it in
Love is not the end
It’s where we all begin
Love is oxygen
So come on breathe it in
So come on breathe
So come on breathe

Hope

There's a whitish glow
On the ocean floor
And on the surface too

As you sail this life
Please remember me
And I'll remember you

So much fog in sight
I see in black and white
An  atmospheric veil

Like a stringless kite
Or loose satellite
I am setting sail

Now we near the end
I can't comprehend
But I know what to do

And I would not be so sure
But I've been here before
And I was here with you

So I coast down the wave
So proud and brave

I've made mistakes
I've caught some breaks

There's a billion points of the light
But we know we are
Gonna find the one

And I see you there
Far beyond the already setting sun

Oh and I was so sure of it all
Now I see what we forgot
Love is eternal
Our bodies are not

Love is eternal
Our bodies are not

As we sail these lives
Through the ice and cold
Summer rearrives

Planetarium

Locked in a dark planetarium
Echoes and starlight melt
Drift in and out of delirium
Like none I ever have felt

I had some friends
Tell me where’d they go?
They’re gone with the wind
And they’re gone with the snow

Earth’s made of mirrors
Space and time is smoke
The lines are our fears
And the light is the perfect joke

Oooo… ooooo…

I’m locked in a dome
And i start to feel
Like this is home
These stars are real

Aliens parked.. in the lot outside
Missing their mark.. over millions of miles
I’m unaware as they march through the door
And down from upstairs, and we start to explore

The sky
Explore the starlit sky
Explore the sky
Explore the starlit sky

The Flood

Carve me into an ice statue
Just hidin’ in the snow

Thinking of future times
That you and i will never know

Sharing the backseat of my parents car
And there we were

Lookin’ into your eyes i thought
One day I'll marry her

Slow down
You know we had to wake
From our dream

You know we had to break
Our hearts clean..
Or was this a mistake?

I felt the devil soak
Through all the whiskey in my blood
And when the levee broke
You were there with me in the flood

There is a scar now on my arm that will not go away
I think you knew that I dehumanized myself that day

Slow down
You know we had to wake
From our dream

You know we had to break
Our hearts clean..
Or was this a mistake?

The Light

We fly
Up in the blue
With nothin’ to do
Except explore

We break
Beyond the stars
And we aren't far
From heaven’s door

There's a guiding force we share
Bright white light, of course it's there

In the afternoon daylight
Heaven's havin' a moonlit night

Watch
The humans below
Their moonbeamin’ bones
Explode with life

The Earth
Shrinks to a dot
In the blink of a thought
Exposed to the light

There's a guiding force we share
Bright white light, of course it's there

In the afternoon daylight
Heaven's havin' a moonlit night

So where you feel the darkness fall
There is really none at all
Cause there's a guiding force we share
Bright white light, of course it's there

Kissing Booth

I don't wanna lie
I don't wanna be like all the other guys
But if I'm here tonight
might as well just tie you to the railroad ties

Inside our kissing booth
The lies feel like the truth
Don't have to twist your arm
Cause you can't resist my charm

We could have a ball
Honey let me take you to the waterfall
Until the flow dies down
We could float all night into another town

One lie won't hurt a bit
So untie your tourniquet
I'll stay here and watch you bleed
Cause today you're all I need

Cause inside our kissing booth
The lies feel like the truth
It's time I get my gun
Cause tonight I set your sun

Amnesia

There’s an angel in my garden
She’s been sleepin’ there for days

And I say “I beg your pardon,
But do you remember me
Before I went astray
And made you run away?”

She says “Of course I still remember.
Honey, how could I forget?
When my heart is still so tender
And my cheeks are still so soaking wet?”

Who’s gonna help you now?
Who’s gonna help you now?
Who’s gonna care when you get cut?
Who’s gonna sew you back shut?

She’s flyin’ high above me
And I’m standin’ where she lands
Up close, she looks so lovely
And she lets me take her openin’ hands

And we swirl and burn a million rays of light
Our sonic boomin’ speed
Illuminates the night
And it’s just me and her
The way we were
Completely pure
But i’m not so sure
Cause my seein’s blurred
And I just hold on tight
And the colors melt to white
And somethin’s not quite right..
I think she’s just being polite

Cause her eyes say “I don’t need ya”
And her smiles are counterfeit
Could it be she’s got amnesia
Or is she just now snappin’ out of it?

Who’s gonna help you now?
Who’s gonna help you now?
Who’s gonna care when you get cut?
Who’s gonna sew you back shut?

Now I’ve got my own amnesia
The doctor rearranged my brain
And with my Everlasting Gobstopper dreams
I’m a kid in a candy store.. all day
