A Foreign Place

What has happened here
With these rose-colored glasses?
A forest we clear
For these crumbling masses;
And I don’t recognize you anymore.
Removed they reveal
Follies, ruins and remains,
Echoed scars on earth
We've assigned different names
And I don’t recognize you anymore.
This body is a foreign place
And our hearts were never forged in flames
With your skull pressed against my face
Do I know you feel the same?
This body is a foreign place
And I don’t recognize you anymore.

Nectar

I’m looking forward to the day
When I bum my last cigarette
I can’t wait to be over that
The time will come when I pay
For when this naive man may
See the whole cost of havoc weighed
But I am still a child and
Yes, I thought I’d be a better man but
Wisdom is only earned in hindsight
And I am still an angry man
A betting man, a trying hand
Who doubts if happiness comes from light
When joy confused by nectar can
Poison thoughts and ruin plans
You believe you’re only whole at night
But dim bulbs can't substitute daylight

Your Love/I Never
04:02

I never want to hurt you
But I do
And I know
I never want to leave you
But I do
So I know
What I’m leaving behind
Your love in everything
I never remember anything
But I try
For you
So I go over it again
in my head
For you
I never want to forget
Your love in everything
I never know it’s stupid
‘Til it’s said
To you
So I go over it again
in my head
For you
And it’s right here beside me
Your love in everything

Each Other
05:15

The bands were loud, we’d brace the crowd
And breathe with each other
And sweat on each other
And bleed on each other
Shoulders chipped with hearts we’ve ripped out
To feel one another
He looked at me, pressed with ease
Some strange lover
A strange lover
You’ll fall down, we all do
We love you
We dance with each other
We scream with each other
To be with each other
To be one another

A Victory For No One
06:12

Have you come home from where you were
Where pushed or pulled from you won’t return
Where left are ones you’ve loved and hurt
Who spoke truths to you from what was learned?
Well, you’re here now, and where is that?
Do you buy who you are and sell how you act?
A victory for no one.
Show me pictures of empty houses.
Tenants tell stories of closed bars on Houston
From whom you've learned what someone espouses
And translate their anger and all that it rouses.
Would you call this home when you’re now the stranger?
Brand new faces share low hums of danger.
Your jokes won’t land for the crowd which you cater.
Cups poured with love do not make them safer.
A failed state in decline, is this what we wager?
Well you’re here now, and where is that?
Do you buy who you are and sell how you act?
A victory for no one.
(A victory) for no one.
