Locked Boxes
02:45

a package fell from Mars
inspiring starry lust in locked boxes
we walked to the lake
filled with toxic poison
and we drank
and what was the cause
of these opening closets
and what do we say
about these burning hours
and what do we feel
about these boring years
and what do we do
with these yearning ears
a constellation
whispers your ashy portrait
ashy portrait
and we felt no shame

In a Dream
06:41

Is this world in a dream
An exercise in the extreme
The rich sirens scream
As totems rise from the sea
And ivy crawls where ice used to be
And life is a long lost melody
Was that world just a dream
An exercise in what could be
Exceeding goals by degree
And children think
"What will be when I'm twenty?"
What will we do with all their dreams
What will we do
When this worlds through
Our carelessness
Would be there end
What would we do
When this world's through
Our carelessness
Would be their end.

Paris

Paris we love you
bearing flowers and fruit
but lets not forget about beirut
syrians line the seine
that's filled with blood
and forced to beg on the streets
for bread again
but ah
we love our kind
these deaths
are all wrong
from baghdad to sinai
can things change can we stop the fight
Our drone war's unfolding
spilling blood on all soil
refugees search for
a place to call home
would our world change
if these deaths weren't
nothing new
east west middle
in our earth cut in two
but ah
we love our kind
these deaths are all wrong
from paris to palestine
can this world change
can we stop the fight
stop the fight

Wedding Song
02:11
|
|
||
there's a road outside
that we traveled a thousand times
we wander and we think
so many ways to push to the brink
theres a road outside
lost our hope a thousand times
but you take my hand from sea to sea
you walk away with me
we'll walk this road a thousand more times
we'll walk until old and blind
and the pearls that you dove for
are still on my neck
the shackles are all broken
and the wedding nights set
and we'll find our way
through the fog and hard times
we'll write and we'll write
because life is our song
and we are free
