Normal Scheme of Things

|

We've waited beyond the normal scheme of things
You've played your games and still it's all the same from here
As above now let the seems sow
As above I'll let you know
We've hated all these times hard and soft
You kept telling me and I kept yelling at you
For a change of heart from what is lost
As above now it's time for seeds to grow
I'm looking for love and I don't wanna fuck it up

One Schizophrenic
03:55
|
|||
The racket made stacks behind the sinus tires to lapse
The rest assured ravers rights of passage peak to the max
Safe in packs
We're all one schizophrenic
We're all flames we're all gas
Hone in
Zone out
What we're we talking about?
Again again!
But how we pay the toll

So to a place where the ashes remain
Just stories and shadows
Wood cloth and bone
Next to luxury items behind glass
Exhibits to a time that shouldn't last
Paradise lost to say the least
Please don't mess with nature for nature is the beast
Organic (Like the plague) a morbid statistic
Our time is our age
So hibernate into a head of swollen thoughts
Like some humdrum ritual you play with what you've caught
And when the ashes again take their bow
We'll sigh at the news with our eyes looking down.

All coped up in my little white cell
I'm feeling fine degradation all the time separation
Leaves no-one to cll at this hour
Yet I sleep all day with nothing to say
I think in round repetition like a time lost tradition
Long ago you'd call now.
Soon they will discover it all
Soon they will know the truth
Soon they will have to return
Soon you'll see it too
There are no answers right and wrong
Only sane or insane ones
We won't explain till it's all done
Please remain calm and sombre till you are deemed healthy
Cause it's an area of grey to celebrate and lock away
You're out of line with the system
Stigmatised and dismissed but you know
You should be free.
But they haven't found me yet
But they always keep pace
But I don't feel a threat
And I won't leave a trace

So this song used to be instrumental before the weekend
But now I've had to give it words so I don't have to pretend
For years now I've been splashing around in the deep end
But my buoyancy comes from the help you give or else I'd descend
Down
So I'll offer advice the times I'm nasty and not nice I never mean them
My signs of gratuity they come so sparingly but please believe them
Taken for granted you're not there's not a day that I don't stop to see that
You've been so loving to me and to say I ain't been easy is an understatement
I am eternally grateful

Your Guitar (Tsukinohi)
04:06
|
|||
Can't you see
You are our one
You know it hurts to linger on
Like a dream
You're here then gone
We never felt with moving on
We pick flowers
We dig dirt
We brush tears
We move earth
We're alone
We spend hours reading stone
30 years how we've grown
Do you know?
We chase time
We grow up
We get old
We learn loves mysteries
Open ways
Some will shut
10,000 days
All for what
Do you see?
Your guitar
It sings this song
You know it helps me be your son
