In between our better days
We locked the doors
And lost our way
Blacked out the bulbs
And pulled the shades
And in the dark
We drew our blades
With every noise
We stood on edge
And we crawled out
Onto the ledge
Looking down
The crowd below
Looking up
Watching the Show
One small step
And we go down
To better days
Under ground
Back to dust
Here come the rains
To wash the sins
Erase the names
Spirit breaks
The mortal coil
Small green leaves
Break from black soil
The cycle spins
Back to square one
A tree rings out
Reaching the sun
And in between
Our lesser days
We stand again
And fill the space
While in between
Our better days
I call your name
And touch your face

I hear you’re back around. What took you so long?
Are you just passing through? Gonna wipe out my skies of blue.
You say you have your reason. I guess it’s that time of season
Is it worth the cost when you add up all you’ve lost?
You got your box of pills. Me and my life so shrill
That I can never escape. I’ve accepted as my fate
I’m everything you’re not. That doesn’t seem to mean a lot
So let’s not pretend. We both know how this ends
You never change. No, you only reign.
You never change. You just reign down on me Like you can
It started long ago. Back when you were keeping score
Maybe you made your point or maybe you disappoint
What does it matter now? Your noise is getting loud.
In world that’s paint black who’s looking back?
One of these days, you will lose your crown
And then there will be nobody for you
I look up to the sky. Then I start to wonder why
Where did begin and how will it ever end?
It’s getting hard to believe. Everything you’re telling me
I try to ignore the pain. You just pass the blame

Elixir

On the head of a pin
Is where the world begins
When you say
Come and see me
Never leave me
Two become one
Pushing the blueprint forward
Come what may
All uncertain
Who pulls the curtain?
Run in your fields of green
Until your tears no longer stream
Until your days beat out your dreams
Until you know what it all means
Time answers in
Ways not always wanted
Questions stay
What's the plan here?
Is the end near?
I come undone
Like a string unraveled
One end frayed
The other in
Three pieces when you
I come to you
Imperfect alchemy
Elixir
Spin my metal to gold petals

If you hear the sirens calling to you
Lift the needle off what you were listening to
Cast out the old, gather in the new
Turn the engine over
Resurrection machine
Let candles burn out on long ago
Let a new light cast a new shadow
Let the colors collide silver and gold
Fill the tank. Start rolling
Resurrection machine
One of the lucky ones
One of the chosen few
One of the mighty high
All five alive
All five alive
Don't hold the spirit that held you down
Don't chase a ghost. Can't catch a cloud.
The time to let it go is at hand
Slipping through your fingers
Resurrection Machine

Up on the Glass

Watching your reflection
Skin on glass so cool to the touch
Mirror my affection?
Can see right through you it doesn't take much
Visible perfection
Pretty package but what's inside?
Everything on the surface
Deflects the eye from everything that you hide
Time and again your illusions always send
Me to my knees and leave me begging please
Just a glimpse is all I ever ask
Don't disappear just stay up on the glass
Where I can see you
Invisible but in plain sight
Captured in a moment
A mystery, a trick of light
Fleeting or infinite?
A signal sent but will it return?
Considering the perception
Stones thrown at the walls, cavern

Went for a walk on the other side
Not sure how I'd get back
A funny man with a broom followed me there
He kept sweeping up my tracks
I couldn't see the way I came
I had no bars on my phone
I'm carrying 87 keys
But can't find my way home
Paint the blue sky black
How will you get back
If the doors are broken?
Perception is fact
Your dreams intact
When the gates are open
Ran up a hill when it started to rain
My clothes getting all wet
A funny man with an umbrella and spoon
Kept dancing a minuet
He stood covered in chains and locks
That rattled when he danced
I carried 87 keys
But I didn't stand a chance
Like Jill and Jack I headed back
Knee deep in the water
A funny man with a sharpened axe
Was ready for the slaughter
The sacrificial lamb was lost
It's fleece as black as crow
I carried 87 keys
And that is all I know
