Slip Resistant

If I could scratch the surface of the meaning
I would not be stuck with all these burning questions
I feel like my breathing's leaving me but have to try
I've got to make it somehow, I've got the will to survive
Keep a steady focus and you will be alive
We can make it through this, it's not our time to die
One day I wandered off to where my shadow goes
With the lights all off, but the feelings glow
It's a place that only you and I should know
A place we go to together so we can just be alone
And on this day I wandered where my shadow goes
Til the lights came on, and they all came home
The memory of you is swimming in my head
And so the love's alive but the feeling's dead
Paraphrasing all the things I wish you had said
I'm paraphrasing all the things I wish you had said
Why couldn't it be everything you thought you meant
Perhaps it's because it's just not what you intend
Slip resistant, oh oh
Slip resistant
I'm slip resistant, oh oh
Slip resistant
A catastrophic mess for a contortionist
Who had an appointment with your average dentist
Who said "relax, lay back and just breathe this in"
The next thing I knew the chair and I could co-exist
Reality is not so slip resistant, I find....
Slip resistant, oh oh
Slip resistant
Slip resistant, oh oh
Slip resistant
So let the curtains close down on another night
We let the darkness through into the morning light
I'm packing up but you can stay here if you like
Whatever it will take to put it all back right
I'll take the clock springs out and let the time unwind
Whatever it will take to put it all back right
Slip resistant, oh oh
Slip resistant
Slip resistant, oh oh
Slip resistant

Something You Collect
01:55
|

It's not so easy to be
All the things that you want me to be
Like something you collect
And then place perfectly
I wish that I was special
So you would like me
You might say
That you want me to stay
Like something you collect
But reject
And then forget to dust everyday
I wish that I was special
So you would like me
But I still sit and wait
On attention for attention never paid
Like something you collect
And throw away
I wish that I was special
So you would like me
It's not so easy to be
All the things that you want me to be
Like something you collected
And then placed perfectly
I wish that I was special
So you would like me

The Things We Never Said
03:44
|
|||
Put a pen to the pad I'm sad when I see that you are missing
I write the words down for you to say aloud but it feels like no one's listening
Ok, and here's the first thing that I want you to know
That I'm not far gone and it won't be long until we are alone
So let's go
And tip toe up the stairs
And crack open the door
Show them all the reasons that you been hiding for
So ok, here we go
But which way have we went?
I can't tell between the real feelings and the things we never said
Well I bet
You still see my face when you close your eyes
I know you still
You still see my face when you close your eyes
You still see my face when you close your eyes
I know you still
You still see my face when you close your eyes
And it's all kind of sad
Too bad it went down like that
But I think if it's all for the best
Well then we'll all get some rest
And get this shit off our chest
When it's fresh in the morning
Can't you see how all your words are just distracting me?
Like the beat of a constant drum or the refrigerator hum
And the power's out again
So we are playing in the rain
Without a care in the world
Or thought of the girl that we'll never see again
I know you still
You still see my face when you close your eyes
You still see my face when you close your eyes
Can't you see how all your words are just distracting me?
Like the beat of a constant drum or the refrigerator hum
And the power's out again
So we are playing in the rain
Without a care in the world
Or thought of the girl that we'll never see again
Without a care in the world
Or thought of the girl that we'll never see again
That we'll never see again
We'll never see again
I know you still
You still see my face when you close your eyes
You still see my face when you close your eyes
I know you still
You still see my face when you close your eyes
You still see my face when you close your eyes

Streetlights Stop Time
03:48

Streetlights
Blink twice
You might
Step on the gas too hard tonight
To get far away from here
And far away from me
Foresight
You decide
That our dead end has long arrived
Get far away from here
And far away from me
Get far away from me
Streetlights
Stop time
But you might
Step on the gas too hard tonight
To get far away from here
And far away from me
In time
Inside
You'll find a peace that once had died
Far away from here
And far away from me
Get far away from me
Get far away from me
Get far away from me
Streetlights
Hold tight
Cause you might
See me before this ends tonight
Get far away from here
And far away from me
Cause I'll find
You in time
You're the only thought I have in mind
So get far away from here
And far away from me
Get far away from me
Get far away from me

Every Time I Fall
03:30
|

Everytime I fall
You're right there
To pick me up
When we're both too old
I'll still be there
To hold you up
Fall if I stand up to hold you
As I'm still getting to know you at 43
We both let go
You don't know me at all
Fall in love like we did that June
While we melted away as the flowers would bloom
And my eyes
Were locked on you
Everytime I fall
You're right there
To pick me up
When we're far too old
I'll still be there
To hold you up
Fall if I stand up to hold you
As I'm still getting to know you at 43
We both let go
You don't know me at all
Fall in love like we did that June
While we melted away as the flowers would bloom
And my eyes
Were locked on you
My eyes were locked on you
And my eyes
My eyes were locked on you

The End Is Not Defined
05:11
|

The simple facts
And complex math
Make this decision
Unequivocal
We're falling fast
Heroes unmasked
And all their good deeds
Become trivial
What you don't see
Brings harm to me
What you could not save
Took me away
I've spent my time alone
And waiting for this chance for us again
Now I've done the math
And I've hatched a plan
All I have to do is turn the tables
Once and for all
The heroes will fall
It only takes one villain to rule them all
What you don't see
Is the darkness in me
And what you could not save
Took my soul away
Been waiting for this chance to
Not miss this new circumstance again
A change of plans
And gambled hands
Make this decision inevitable
A new attack
Getaway plan
While your escape is now impossible
What you don't see
Is all dead to me
What you could not save
Is who I am today
I've spent my time alone and
Waiting for another face to face
And here we go again
And here we go again
And here we go again
And here we go
I still believe
That a superhero can save me just in time
By reading the thoughts in my mind
I still believe
That a superhero can save me just in time
And punish you for your crimes
I still believe
That a superhero can save me just in time
And that the end is not defined
I still believe
That a superhero can save me just in time
By reading the thoughts in my mind
I still believe
That a superhero can save me just in time
And punish you for your crimes
I still believe
That a superhero can save me just in time
And that the end is not defined

Hourglass
03:50
|

I'm on the right path
There is no looking back
When I look at the choice you had
It's kind of sad when you see that a mind
Can crack like that
And fade right into black
What was once sharp has now gone slack
Cause once was a time when you were firin' off
But now it only seems like you're firing back
And well homie
It's just kind of sad
And knowing what you'd do with you choice you had and
And I watched all of our plans
Fall away like grains of hourglass sand

No I can't stop
But I just can't stay away
In your arms
I begin again
No I can't stop
But I just can't stay away
In your arms
I begin again
I just can't stop
I can take the pain
Knock myself down
Pick myself up again
Knock myself down
Pick myself up again

Cement Shoes

It's intense
It's intense
As I run from this
It's intense
It's intense
As I run from this
Put the brakes on
Sort my head out
Got the shakes
So I've gotta get the lead out
It's intense
It's intense
As I run from this
It's intense
It's intense
As I run from this
Put a face on
Don't raise an eyebrow
Got a tail
So I've gotta get the lead out
It's intense
Intense
Keep me breathing
As I get busy dying
You're fighting so hard
I don't know why I keep trying
And these cement shoes
Certainly know what to do
As I sink to the bottom
And I fade from your view
This is the fate that is waiting for me if I don't get the lead out
This is the fate that is waiting for me if I don't get the lead out
This is the fate that is waiting for me if I don't get the lead out
This is the fate that is waiting for me if I don't get the lead out
It's intense
It's intense
As I run from this
It's intense
It's intense
As I run from this
Put the brakes on
Sort my head out
I've been made
So I've gotta get the lead out
It's intense
It's intense
As I run from this
It's intense
It's intense
As I run from this
It's intense
It's intense
As I run from this
It's intense
It's intense
As I run from this
This is the fate that is waiting for me if I don't get the lead out
This is the fate that is waiting for me if I don't get the lead out
This is the fate that is waiting for me if I don't get the lead out
This is the fate that is waiting for me if I don't get the lead out
Gotta get the lead out
Get the lead out

Punched Repeatedly

Mind is sound
But in your eyes
I cannot be found
The time grows close
And in your eyes
I can see your soul
I can see your soul...
Try to find
Moonlight in eyes
But let fate decide
The time draws near
And in your eyes
I can see the fear
And in your eyes
I can see the fear...
In your eyes
I can see the, see the fear
All inside
Your eyes play tricks
But I can see through time
Grows close
And in your eyes
I can see my ghost
I can see my ghost...
Pray to skies
Your eyes they cry
Like the well has just run dry
For you and I
The well has just run dry
For you and I
The well has just run dry
For you and I
The well has just run dry
It's in your eyes
It's in your eyes
The well has just run dry
It's in your eyes
It's in your eyes
The well has just run dry

Step Lightly
02:44
|

I dropped my wrench in the sink
I heard you creeping downstairs
I heard you stepping lightly in the back of my mind
Though what is lost
Still cannot be found
I'd still like to help you try to find it
The air is thick and heavy in here
Like the outcome is pre-determined
Take your time and look around
Take your time and look around
Take your time and look around
Take your time and look around
Take your time and look around
Take your time and look around
I cannot live
With what I have become
I'm just another version
Or a duplication
Of another person
That I am supposed to be
But when I look in the mirror
That is never who I see

Man Parts 1 & 2
05:03
|

Menacing
The lights bounce playfully
Off of the feelings that you gave to me
Someone said that you should try to save me
Yeah, that's what they think
Because they don't really know me
But they have all bought in and own me
They want to rent out and control me
Yeah, that's what they told me
But an existence truly lonely
Is really what they've sold me
And it's out of my control
All out of my control
Lost sight of all the goals
I can't maintain control
Continue down the spiral
And all decisions final
I'm living underneath your skin
You can feel me creeping in
A beautiful inception intertwined with a physical connection
And like a disease I'm in
Part of you acknowledges within
The mechanical parts have been broken down to the ground
And then rebuilt again
I am
Breaking free now
Coming through the haze
I am
Breaking free now
Coming through the haze
I am
Breaking free now
Coming through the haze
I am
Breaking free now
Coming through the haze
I am
Breaking free now
Coming through the haze
And into twilight as it fades
You and I have got it made

Two people lost in thought
Discussing the art of not getting caught
They were strangers only months ago it seems
Now she's coursing through your veins and here to stay
Glass of lemonade and hand grenade
You and I have been bound in time for so long
I'm so glad you have found me again
Without your cosmic persistence I don't know if I could
Never know if I should even
I pursue you with reckless abandon
I pursue you with good intentions
And all I really want is to be able to feel you close to me
But these things that I have mentioned
All along without intention
Class in session, class dismissed
I crossed you off my xmas list
And now you're gone
But maybe we can't beat
Out all the rhythms that you seek
All of these patterns keep repeating
Repeating, repeating, repeat
Two people lost in the thought
Believing that they wont get caught
Things were bad
Things are good
Always thought that I would be yours
Always thought that I would be yours
Always thought that I would be yours
Always thought that I would be yours
Always thought that I would be yours

Anticipation
03:47

She knows
She goes up to the window
And gets cold
You could see the look in her eyes
As I pull down the drive
As I pull down the drive
Killing the lights
She sneaks up
And she grabs me from behind
Now drawing the blinds
I wonder if I'll die tonight...
I wonder...
I wonder if I'll die tonight...
She knows
My body language
Speaks to her in code
She watches off to the side
And I wonder if I'll...
I wonder if I'll die tonight...
I wonder...
I wonder if I'll die tonight...
I wonder...
I wonder if I'll die tonight...
If I'll die tonight
I wonder...
I wonder if I'll die tonight...
If I'll die tonight
I wonder...
I wonder...
