I’m really actually glad that we finally got a chance to meet. You built your walls so high I could barely even get a chance to peek, but I’m still tryin’ baby you know that I ain’t lyin’, as the sun’s goin’ down and it seems like the whole world is dyin’ in a way. I’m really actually glad that we finally got a chance to speak. Its been many long years and we’re more like old friends that never meet, but I’m still tryin’ baby you know that I ain’t lyin’, as the sun’s goin’ down and it feels like the whole world is cryin’ out in space. Well I don’t wanna take a ride if it’s gonna end....why can’t why can’t why can’t we just get away for a while and a day and two more...if you wanna take a ride, where you wanna go what you wanna do?

So you're a criminal, what is your plea? You're a threat to society.
Just stand up, you're a crack up, they won't appreciate your honesty.
Wipe the sweat from off of your brow, you've lost is all but still have it somehow. Oh lord, you can't run, kneel now and kiss the cow.
Well I met this lady and she took me in, light as a feather but heavy as sin. Oh lord how I've tried to love her, now it's the best this shit's ever been.

I don’t mind your eyes, sure don’t mind them looks, long as I can read about you in my books. I don’t mind the hours, sure them days long as I can hold you in my gaze again. I don’t mind the law, give a fuck about the rules, I’m gonna fight for my love ‘till the end, never mind them fools. I don’t mind the price, don’t wanna pay the fee, just let them waves come and wash up over me. She don’t mind the rose, sure don’t mind them thorns, long as we all die and be reborn again...
I don’t mind the law, give a fuck about the rules, I’m gonna fight for my love ‘till the end, never mind them fools. Maybe I’ll get back to the program, maybe I’ll paint a picture under the sun, maybe I’ll get lost and never be “one”. Maybe I’ll get back to the roadhouse, maybe I’ll have a couple more than a few, maybe I’ll wake up just a thinkin’ of you. I don’t mind the law, give a fuck a bout the rules, I’m gonna fight for my love ‘till the end, never mind them fools. I don’t mind the law, give a fuck about the rules I’m gonna fight for my love ‘till the end, never mind them fools. Maybe I’ll get back to the program, maybe I’ll paint a picture under the sun, maybe I’ll wake up just where I am from. Maybe I’ll get back to the roadhouse, maybe I’ll have a couple more than a few, maybe I’ll wake up just a thinkin’ of you. I don’t mind
the law, give a fuck about the rules, I’m gonna fight ‘till my dyin’ day nevermind them fools. I don’t mind the law, give a fuck about the rules, I’m gonna fight for my love ‘till the end, never mind them fools.

Baby I’m havin’ trouble tryin’ to fool myself, tradin’ dirty jokes again with a bottle from the shelf. Livin’ in a dream baby don’t, no I don’t know why. This is how I’s born and more than likely how I’ll die. You asked me a question, now I’ll tell you where I stand. Livin’ in the dark puts the hurtin’ on a man. Ridin’ that south train on my northbound line down in old Ventura ways, at 9 o’clock she’ll blow your mind. Oh, on a Wednesday in February ooh I hung myself, broke the shower head and slipped and broke my arm as well. Oh that is what I was learnin’ when I was tryin’ a leavin’ they said no, no more deceivin’ you’ve got to be believin’ in some truths, like Love will Change your Life but the World will Bring you Down to your knees, to the dirt.
Second day in country, bout a half way down, AK47 burst made a mountain from a mound. 7D7 squared in the 805, same doctor, time and room, it’s a wonder I'm alive. You asked me a question now I'll tell you where I stand, livin' in the dark still puts the hurtin' on a man. Ridin' that train on a Northbound line, this is how I’s born and more than likely how I'll die. Oh on a Wednesday in February oh I hung myself and Oh broke the shower head, slipped and broke my arm as well oh that is what I was meaning when I was tryin' a leavin' it was more like me spring cleanin' and less like superceedin' of your truths. Cause Love’s a waste of time, you might as well just lose your mind the old fashioned way.

The life as a face that turns you upside down. The life of a dream that changes while you sleep and then Day into Night as it calls you out by name. The life of a fire, climbing to the sky, climbing to the sky.
The wind hath bound her in her wings and they shall be ashamed of their sacrifices.
The world as a light that falls beneath the waves, like the waves of a tree, branching to the lake. Into space into sound, the colors of my memories. The wind has bound her in her wings and they shall be ashamed of their sacrifices.
The stones of the earth, talking one by one. The hills and the fields, reaching on for miles and miles and the steps that it takes are laid out side by side, laid out side by side.
The wind hath bound her in her wings and they shall be ashamed of their
sacrifices.

Well I sailed across the tides just to see your eyes and I walk a million miles just to catch a smile. I heard you call my name through the space and time. I was on the other side, just tryin’ to keep my mind. Then I walked into your work, on the way to mine nearby. I was on a different path but I couldn’t believe my eyes. So we laid out on the sand and watched the washing waves and talked about the stars and all our scattered graves. When I realized what was up, I quit my wasting time, through every hoop and hurdle we are trusting with our lives. Standing at the cross, we said I do because it’s true, Angel, I love you.

Foreign Eye

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.* Time after time we have left them behind. Rolling waves of blood have fed the lies of time. The arms of race, watch them arcing the sky. Their satellites spinning webs of design, making their rounds and dividing the sphere from the other side. All rise...all rise...
Well we couldn’t run and we couldn’t hide so we headed down and we tucked inside...then we looked around and we got back up and said Oh My God and Holy Fuck
And a pound of flesh is not taken away. It cannot be held in the weight that it spills from its value in kind. War is a lie, it’s a product of
pride...started to turn men away from the gold in his only, his mind...
Well we couldn’t run and we couldn’t hide so we headed down and we tucked inside. Then we looked around and got back up and said Oh My God...What Have They Done?
‘Cause a missile flew into a hurricane and a River died in an earthquake. Then a bomb went off and the radio died and the sky was black, so we stayed inside.
