The Patio

I’ll be waiting for you friends out on the patio
Seems like it’s the only place they wanna let me go
We’ll have drinks and try to laugh about all that’s happening
But as time keeps passing I can only think about what could have been
You don’t have to worry you don’t have to say a word
You don’t have to tell me about what you heard
You can sit quietly and stare out into space
The patio can be your safe place
Tell me all about the things that you did today
It doesn’t matter to me if it’s the same as yesterday
You know I’ve been feeling low and like I’m all alone
It’s always nice to see a friendly face that’s not just on a phone
You don’t have to worry you don’t have to say a word
You don’t have to tell me about what you heard
You can sit quietly and stare out into space
The patio can be your safe place
Do you wanna stay a little longer out on the patio tonight

Are you stuck in one place or moving way too fast
Have you given up on making anything last
Are you waving hello or are you waving you goodbye
I think I can tell by that look in your eye
That you’re running away again you don’t wanna face today
You’re always stuck on yesterday
Are you flying high or have you come down low
Never sure just where you should go
You’re making up the rules and then breaking them too
Everything’s just a great big game to you
Until you lose something real something you can’t fix
Life’s called your bluff and now you’re all out of chips
And you’re starting over again
Just like you always do
And you’re falling apart again
Just like you always do
Are you waving hello
Are you waving goodbye
Running away again you don’t wanna face today
You’re always stuck on yesterday

Dark Secret Heart
03:08
|
|||
Bad penny for your thoughts
And your corrupted dreams
The mind field is set to explode
It’s time to wipe the slate clean
And that feeling keeps creeping in
Try not to let the fever win
All the night eyes are watching you from the shadows
From the dark secret heart
I am the new conductor
The memory seductor
As the old film disintegrates
The endless loop takes its place
Are you asleep at the wheel
A thousand pinpricks just to feel
Careening off a dead-end cliff
Into the bottomless pit of regret
I am the darkest night
The void devouring light
Memories are fading away
The empty shell of every lost day

Your Machine
03:06
|
|||
Dreary windows obscure the view
Filtering out the light you need to see through
There’s a crackling noise to try to dull your thoughts
Keep you chained to your machine so you won’t stop
On the TV tonight is all sorts of reality
Truth served up the way they want you to see
They’re inside your head they know all the buttons you’ll push
They’ve got the algorithms juiced to make you feed on the rush
Sometimes you feel like you want to run away
Go somewhere quiet where you can keep them at bay
But they’ve got you surrounded they’ve creeped under your skin
And when you turn out the lights your glowing mind gives in
Shut down your machine
Wake up from the dream

Wobble in the Moon
03:31
|
|||
They say there’s a wobble in the moon
Trying to disrupt the tides we knew
Although nothing’s here to stay
And we’ll all be gone someday
Are you out there on your own
Did you push everyone away until you were all alone
Well if there’s a wobble in the moon
I hope you can get back soon
Something’s rumbling deep inside me
Tectonic plates of destiny
Moving me closer to the edge
So I can see clearly all that I’ve been
And I’m out here on my own
I didn’t wanna tell you that I felt so alone
Well if there’s a wobble in the moon
I hope I can get back soon
They say there’s a wobble in the moon
Trying to take away all that we grew
I guess this was never ours to keep
We gotta give things up when we leave
But I’ve got a memory of you
That I’m gonna try to hold onto
If there’s a wobble in the moon
Then I won’t be coming back to you
Then I won’t be coming back to you

There were dark clouds
And I was in no mood
To step outside and face the gloom
They said to Supreme
Is where I should go
So I followed their advice into the night I did go
Into the neon light show
We move through the night
Looking for something looking for someone
Who will make it alright
I wanna blend in
Into the sea of night souls
Sit in dark corners and watch the scene
But I need to get home
To where I belong
Before I get sucked in and they don’t want to let me go
Before I can’t let go
We move through the night
Looking for something looking for someone
Who will make it alright

Endless

Astronaut up in the sky
Send me a signal when you pass by
Rocketship blasting off
Leave you a package at your next stop
And when you touch back down to Earth
Do you ever think about what it was worth
Do you ever dream of weightlessness
Or of the endless dark abyss
Astronaut up in the sky
You’re always saying your last goodbye
There’s a chance you won’t make it home
So through the Milky Way your ghost will roam
And if I don’t see you back here on Earth
We’ll all wonder just what it was worth
And that dream of weightlessness
Drawn right into the endless dark abyss
Astronaut I feel alone
And so afraid of the unknown
Every time I look up to the sky
I’ll wonder if you’re floating by

Somewhere Tonight
02:38
|

Somewhere tonight you’ll find you’re all alone
Did you finally wake up to find those familiar faces were gone
Would you mind if I tagged along
Because I’m afraid of the dark or afraid of myself
And all these thoughts I keep holding onto
Somewhere tonight
Somewhere tonight there’s someone just like you
Feeling their way around never wanting to reveal
Never thought they’d have to steal
Heading to a place they never thought they’d have to go
And all those thoughts which they must let go
Somewhere tonight
As we walk through the night
And all the lights hit the rain
A dark rainbow lifts the gloom from your face
Somewhere tonight a friend has lost their way
Down on their luck the streets demand that they pay
Somewhere tonight

Mushroom Gnome and Golden Boy
Got sucked right through the electric eye
Into the land of creeps they ran the gauntlet of lies
There were swaying giants up to the sky
And they could see the way they once lived
And it was grand but now they were rotten to the core
Still the giants are growing taller and taller
And I keep feeling smaller and smaller
Mushroom Gnome and Golden Boy
Got trapped in a history book
There were pages missing turned into a mystery
A famous producer from Hollywood
Wanted to buy the rights to their story wanted to make them into stars
But they said no thanks they were only looking to be left alone
Still the giants are growing taller and taller
And I keep feeling smaller and smaller
Mushroom Gnome and Golden Boy
Beamed up to a satellite
And they could see the whole world and hear everybody’s cries
I wonder if they ever found a place
Where they fit in and there was nothing to fix
And there weren’t any giants trying to take up all the prime spots
Still the giants are growing taller and taller
And I keep feeling smaller and smaller

Into the Dark
04:00
|
|||
There’s a note I wrote
On the inside of an eyelid
But I can’t see in the dark
Why do you mess around
And let it draw you in
You seem to be heading into the dark
I’m looking for a way out
But someone’s pulling the strings
Hiding behind the screen
Like some kind of cruel joke
But we can try to hide
Somewhere only we can see
And let these voices help lead the way
I’ll try and wait for you there
I’ll try and hold on
But I keep slipping back into the dark
The more you pull at the thread
The more it unravels
The tomorrow they promised
Is all just an illusion
We should give in tonight
Be who we’ve always been
Don’t resist the pull
And walk into the dark
