After Hours

We are mountains in the distance impossible at first
We are fantasies of liquid to a body full of thirst
We are sick of being sick when our bodies want to run
So we’re breaking into ballrooms and inviting everyone
we are waking after hours
we are rising from the dead
what’s been keeping us from living
is the danger in our head
we are dancing with our shadows
we’re enveloping the sky
in the hours after hours
we live before we die
We are coming to crescendo then dropping to our knees
We’re the boiling point of truth when the world’s about to freeze
We might get hit the hardest when the day comes crashing down
But We’re the seeds left on the surface moving deeper under ground
we are waking after hours
we are rising from the dead
what’s been keeping us from living
is the danger in our head
we are dancing with our shadows
we’re enveloping the sky
in the hours after hours
we live before we die

Standing tall I still can not see the view
Then the sky opens when I stand with you
I can see it now
I can tell you how
to save the world
All along the road signs of life flash by
Every door that opens a dream comes out to fly
I can see it now
I can tell you how
To save the world
When I put my arms around you
The consequence is clear
There’s a million ties that bind us
But only one that keeps us here
One, one, one that keeps us here
One, one, one that keeps us here
I'm counting you on one hand and me on the other
Held close we are each other
can you see me now
Can you tell me how to save the world
Every story you tell me has a scene I'm in
Every place you come from feels like Ive been
I can see you now
I can tell you how to save the world
When I put my arms around you
The consequence is clear
There’s a million ties that bind us
But only one that keeps us here
One, one, one that keeps us here
One, one, one that keeps us here
It's easy to point fingers - separate our parts
But you can't deny the rhythm of a billion beating hearts
just listen - nothing sounds as clear
We are one, one, one that keeps us here.

Curiosity

all the pretty horses
all the pretty ladies
all the cute babies
it all drives me crazy
I'm always pulled in
what's happening where
this world is so beautiful
it's hard not to care
so it's hard not to notice
that something is wrong
it's like a light went out
it's like something is gone
or maybe just hiding
to force me to look
life’s got to give back something it took
under the weather
under the covers
over my head
over my troubles
into the wreck
to see what still shines
it's pieces of me from all different times
i've been hungry for life
i've been craving it all
but i've skipped a few meals
I think I've taken a fall
maybe it's mid life
maybe it's life
but it doesn't feel like me
Oh where oh where is my curiosity
my dad was the scientist
his work never done
he said if he stopped asking questions - then ignorance won
so I'm asking now
this infinite space
am i moving ahead or am i running in place?
(instr)
if the sky were to fall
i'd want to hold out my hand
I'd want to catch all the stars as they land
if you were to tell me to go disappear
I pull you along and pull you so near
'cause maybe we need to go into the - black c - e
to welcome back curiosity

Lie Cheat Steal
04:00

IF What you can’t have is all that you see Sounds like a sad sad recipe
If every thing feels so out of reach -What’s left to hold you at night?
I’m a believer in pulling apart
The things that feel good from things that are dark
It’s a decision not a religion
It’s inside of me.
The zen of dirty is not about clean
It’s about finding the comfort that hides in between
It’s not about pointing when somebody lies
But putting a mirror up in front of their eyes
If some body cheats it’s not about laws
It’s giving them something beyond their own cause
And don’t go screaming when somebody steals
Just bring them on back to how love feels
Can count on one hand the things that are real
The moments we have the moments we feel
In the end that’s all that’s true
Take it to heart take it to bed
Empty your troubles empty your head
Give yourself a break

Red Flags

Oh little girl
You got a way to go a way to go a way to go
And on your way you’ll see there’s no one way to way to go
Promise me you’ll right and left and turn and walk away when you think you should
Cause out there - there’s things I’d wash away if I could
(Noa ) Oh I have seen
More than I think you’d ever want to know that I’ve seen
Some times I feel I’ve been places that I’ve never been
I promise you I know things aren’t always black and white
I already know that when things feel wrong something isn’t right
Red flags aren’t always red
Sometimes they might be whispers deep inside your head
Warnings don’t always sound alarms
Sometimes you hear them loudest in someone else’s arms
Truth is no one gets a good sleep
With out a prayer for your soul to keep
Oh little girl oh little girl
Around every corner there are mysteries
May you discover
all the magic with out any of the miseries
I’ll discover all the mysteries
And only you know
the ins and outs of your own heart
My own heart
Keep it strong may any breaks give you wisdom for a brand new start
I am strong

In the Dark

I am falling into sleep but I got promises to keep
Just like the Arab spring I need a little awakening...
Sometimes a mirror’s not enough – another face that’s had it rough
Can tell stories that turn my head around and they
Burn a whole in my heart
Hot enough to tear my soul apart
Just in time to save me from living in the dark
Tell me what’s going on between what’s left and what is gone
The look that’s on your face with lines I want to trace
And so I meditate on you like a color that is true
To any feelings that concern all the things in life that
Burn a whole in my heart
Hot enough to tear my soul apart
Just in time to save me from living in the dark
Does anyone does anyone want to leave here?
We’re all on borrowed time just to be here
Oh but I’d rather get hit hard Oh but I’d rather get hit hard
Than stay living in the dark
And if I had a perfect day I’d probably send it on its way
I get far better return for all the things in life that
Burn a whole in my heart
Hot enough to tear my soul apart
Just in time to save me from living in the dark

Sex

Baby these are hard times
Maybe we should stop time
Baby we should make time to have sex
Let me take you under
Let me work you over
Let me help you forget
That baby these are hard times
Give me your hands
What are they doing over there
Move all over me
Then stop them right there
Give me your tongue – it only speaks to me
Not with a single word – just sex
Baby these are hard times
Maybe we should stop time
Baby we should make time to have sex
It’s a word it’s a phrase it’s a crime it’s a craze it’s what everyone wants
Its so good it’s so bad it’s what you once had it’s what everyone wants
To have sex, to have sex to have sex
Baby these are hard times
Maybe we should stop time
Baby we should make time to have sex
