Walk in the Fire

It’s been a whole hell of a year
Lightning terrorized my flight here
White rugs cover your living space
Pulled out to pursue a new phase
Here we go again, another walk in the fire
‘Cause you said I should be wearing something that
suits me better and to skip the modern rap
You couldn’t let me in without the proper attire
Well, you’re in denial, and I can’t help you with that
I ain’t worried ‘bout your lover
Only worried ‘bout the world that we create
Ain’t worried ‘bout your lover
Push-pull, it’s a hell of a game
And you signed your indelible name
On the line you knew we would cross
Lost time isn’t much of a loss
Here we go again, another walk in the fire
‘Cause you said I should’ve led with something else
But I’d really rather just keep to myself
You wouldn’t let me in without a word to inspire
Your desire – well, I can’t help you with that
I ain’t worried ‘bout your lover
Only worried ‘bout the world that we create
Ain’t worried ‘bout your lover
Here we go again, another walk in the fire
Here we go again, here we go again
Here we go again, another walk in the fire
Here we go again, here we go again

I know you can’t do any better
I know you can’t do too much worse
I know you can’t do any better
I know you can’t do too much worse
If you run from a lover tied at the chest with flame
If you breathe, you conceive of a life with another name
If you liken the best and worse to the same game
I know you can’t do any better
I know you can’t do too much worse
I know you can’t do any better
I know you can’t do too much worse
We converge, reemerge, and we surge to another plane
On a trip different from the cards that your right hand splayed
On a bed that was never truly made
A diamond shy and it’s over
So just leave me lyin’ here in the clover
Draw closer to the mirror and show her
Something that’s real
I know you can’t do any better
I know you can’t do too much worse
I know you can’t do any better
I know you can’t do too much worse

Fighter Jet
04:08
|

|
Habitually bitching about love, hate, and everything in between
Perpetually caught up with machines
Commentary coming out surrounding meddlesome destinies
Better forget about your dream
Wish I flew a fighter jet so I could cut across this country
Wish I knew enough to make a scene
But every night I’m sideways – smoke and listen to the highway
Better not forget to wash my jeans
What you really want isn’t really what you find
So you hide inside the back of your mind
What you really want isn’t really what you find
So you hide inside the back of your mind
Habitually bitching about love, hate, and everything in between
Think I better find a brand new scene
Yet every night I’m sideways – smoke and listen to the highway
Better not forget to wash my jeans
What you really want isn’t really what you find
So you hide inside the back of your mind
What you really want isn’t really what you find
So you hide inside the back of your mind

This world was founded on a fallacy
Distantly grounded in a foreign sea
Farther and farther we appear to be
But a sphere has no edge to fall off
I think I wanna get out of this place
I think I wanna get off the face of this planet
I think I wanna get out of this place
I think I wanna get off the face of this floating rock in space
Aliens visit us but never stay
There’s too much hatred in the atmosphere today
UFOs hover then fly away
As if we’re the ones that are strange
I think I wanna get out of this place
I think I wanna get off the face of this planet
I think I wanna get out of this place
I think I wanna get off the face of this floating rock in space

How many times we gotta circle ‘round the sun?
We runnin’ rings, rings
How many times we gotta circle ‘round the sun?
We’re runnin’ rings

Ask me what is my favorite day of the week
Send your noodles back – my stomach sprung a leak
It feels like we should be obsolete
Ask me what am I looking for tonight
Ask me where to find the cheapest one-way flight
It feels like cutting with a dull knife
Floating through space in a toxic wasteland
Sprouted some wings, but we’re still fucked, oh man…
Floating through space in a toxic wasteland
Sprouted some wings, but we’re still fucked, oh man…
Jolt awake again, minutes before the dawn
Got me workin’ day and night – can’t stop until we’re done
It feels like we just go on and on
Floating through space in a toxic wasteland
Sprouted some wings, but we’re still fucked, oh man…
Floating through space in a toxic wasteland
Sprouted some wings, but we’re still fucked, oh man…
You may not give a fuck about it
But you can’t live without it
So fill your pockets up with sand
You don’t wanna talk about it
You say we’re fine – I doubt it
Nobody has the upper hand
Floating through space in a toxic wasteland
Sprouted some wings, but we’re still fucked, oh man…
Floating through space in a toxic wasteland
Sprouted some wings, but we’re still fucked, oh man…

Blue Jay

|
I heard you moved away
Flew through my life blue jay
Can I come see you in the snow?
So fine, so sugar sweet
Soft shapes outlined in sheets
I never thought that this would slide
Up, up, away we go
To another so-and-so
If I still fly will you still buy?
Here we go
Another roll
We need it so
Never an ending
You have found me
I need ya
One hit leads to another
So just hear me out
Can I come over?
We were so wild those years
Appeared so cavalier
But we both shook awake at night

Wander Woman

|
I don’t want you to leave here
But I couldn’t ever ask you to stay
Where your soles could not lead you
Forward to another way
Are there feelings revealing?
In the natural light of your little home
You keep your heart sealed in,
But I understand the way you hold yourself
When you run, you run away
How many times you gonna go?
When you run, you run away
How many times you gonna go?

Time Traveler

Patience with me
As I try to be patient with myself
Seriously, get up out of my face and shut your mouth
I’m a time traveler, I swear
Unbrush your teeth, ungrow my hair
I don’t care about the clothes you don’t wear
They still hang there beside me
Vaya con dios
But you gotta accept I don’t fuck with you
You ain’t my amigo, no
No time for folks who can’t speak their truth
I’m a time traveler, I swear
Unbrush your teeth, ungrow my hair
I don’t care about the clothes you don’t wear
They still hang there beside me

A Sleep, A Forgetting

Did you forget where you came from?
Did you forget who you are?
Did you forget where you came from?
Did you forget who you are?
Not an idol to behold
Not a merit to extol
Not a virtue to unfold
Not a moral to your soul
When will you come to your senses?
When will you come to your senses?
When will you come to your senses?
Did you forget where you came from?
Did you forget who you are?
Did you forget where you came from?
Did you forget who you are?
Not a voice to carry home
No affection in your tone
Not a sympathy to show
Not a kindness in your bones
When will you come to your senses?
When will you come to your senses?
When will you come to your senses?
