My Heart Was Lost In January
Hop inside your inner mind, breathe and sigh but never cry
Open up and let me in, celebrate the innocent,
Breathe in child this is the air, that we all breathe to get us here
We have seen there’s nothing here, to celebrate the insincere
But I can’t wait there’s nothing to lose But I can’t wait for you
Hold my hand, come with me, lets make our dreams come true
My heart was lost in January, I dared to dream the ordinary
My heart was lost in January, I dared to feel it
Dream on, you did not dare to dream
Look around and you will find, a sallow world that walks on by
Close the book of truth and sin, denigrate the men of tin
Breathe in child this is the air, that we all breathe to get us here
We have seen there’s nothing here, to celebrate the insincere

Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love
She could be no other, I would not want to try
I’d do well to give her, all the truth of my smile
She is my mother, shouldn’t have to lie
I could say I love her, I wouldn’t want to cry
Unconditional love, I see it there in your eyes
I understand I need you now, now I know
So please don’t respect all the things I have said
Please don’t respect all the things in my head
Please don’t forget that I do really do
It’s so long ago since I said

Phoenix
Quell my cowardice, crush my fear
Expel my anger, and I might be near
Sold my alibi, dried my tears
Fell from solitude, and I lost my fear
Yes, to stay to laugh remain, tastefully and tactfully insane
Remedied from reality, happy to stand up and play
I can rise, I can face you
I will burn, and be reborn
Face your enemy, the mirror is clear
Truth is revelry, joy is near

Razorblade Jim
The times they are changing, no man on the throne
As we accept the truth, frees our minds to roam
Is your mind overflowing, with the deeds of the past
Without ever knowing, that your footsteps are last
Razorblade Jim, sleeps with the eyes of a man who’s blind
Razorblade Jim, sleeps with the eyes of a man who’s blind
They teach you the bible, one verse for each day
But can’t teach you how to pray, you need something to say
Go out and live life, listen to the people’s play
At home reinvent the truth, imagine and stray into dreams
Razorblade Jim, sleeps with the eyes of a man who’s blind
Razorblade Jim, sleeps with the eyes of a man who’s blind

A Nation's Drunken Kiss

A Nation’s Drunken Kiss
Broken dreams and broken promises
How we can find a place that’s not like this
Burning fields and a nation’s drunken kiss
If you listen hard, you’ll hear the serpent hiss
If you see me waiting would you close an open door
If we see them faking, can we ever say for sure
There’s a dream and we can take it
This summer it leaves me waiting, while the winter it grinds us down
By the fire with Sunday paper another year’s gonna pass us by
There’s a sun and he dances freely, don’t you dare get us down!
There’s a sun and he dances freely, don’t you dare get us down!
Bitter men and sour vortices,
Can we ever cross the open seas?
Open lies and heavy chainmail trees
It’s time to fly the hopeful brazen breeze

Dancin’ With Me
Do do do do do do, oh ohh somebody’s dancin’ with me
Do do do do do do, oh ohh somebody’s dancin’ with me
This means the world to me, no one can see, but no one can take it away
She holds her gaze to me smiles with uncertainty; this girl is dancin’ with me
Do do do do do do, oh ohh somebody’s dancin’ with me
Do do do do do do, oh ohh somebody’s dancin’ with me
I had so many dreams of this, tell me it’s true, tell me that you’re here to stay
At least for a while we could laugh, we could smile, this girl is dancing with me
