Lion's Lap

Lion’s Lap
From the lion’s lap to your lover’s arms
Standing still while the crash keeps coming
A new horizon’s never far away from where you are
In the lion’s lap counting stars
When all the luck against us stacked and the dying sun went black
You were the trust that I had never had
When everybody’s back was turned we watched the city burn
We watched the ashes float like clouds against the moon
Oh, where to go?
When all the prayers we say are lies and we know
Oh, where to go?
You just fall back into the lion’s lap you know
You just fall back into the lion’s lap you know
There’s a dealer and a card inside your broken heart
I can’t believe you never called your own bluff
Now no matter who sits in
You’ll be ‘All-In’ again
It seems like any open pair you hold‘s enough
It seems like any open pair you hold‘s enough
Oh, where to go?
When all the love they give’s a lie and you know
Oh, where to go?
You just fall back into the lion’s lap you know
But I will never say goodbye
While there’s a flicker in your eye
I see it winking like a star through the ash
And when your heart stays by its moon
All the world bends in tune
There’s every source that you could ever wish to tap
Don’t fall asleep there in the lion’s lap
Oh, where to go?
When all the love we take’s a lie and we know
Oh, where to go?
Just don’t fall back into the lion’s lap you know
Oh, where to go?
Just don’t fall back into the lion’s lap you know
Don’t fall back into the lion’s lap you know

Toodle-oo

Toodle-oo
I lost my son on Father’s Day
In the ashes of the Baphomet
Burning pink in twilight blue
Toodle-oo
There’s a room behind the mirror
Some troubles come some disappear
To somewhere that we can’t break through
Toodle-oo
This labyrinth is just waist high
I can see over the walls to the blue sky
But I can’t get to you
Toodle-oo
I’m a madman lost in my own maze
A hunter caught in my own trap
One more hit might see me through
Toodle-oo
The second hand is ticking through
The end is all I’m running to
Toodle-oo
In my church I pray to you
With just two colors, red and blue
Painting scars on top of wounds
Toodle-oo
Even as I watch, it flees
The shadow passes over me
Rotating me away from you
Toodle-oo
The second hand is ticking through
The end is all I’m running to
Toodle-oo

Blind Love

Blind Love
I never needed to hear my name
pronounced in any particular way
I never needed to hear my name
on your lips as you moved away
I never needed to get much sleep
I never needed to get too deep
The drop is as far as the climb is steep
but still you fall away
Call my name and rain won’t come
The light you shun was the only one
To walk in the dark as you stare down the sun
until blind love burns away
I made a life in the lion’s den
I slept in a nest made of skeletons
Blind love was still my only friend even as you moved away
I was the weight between two wings
The balance between two opposite things
I carry as much of the burden you bring
but still you fall away
Call my name and rain won’t come
The light you shun was the only one
To walk in the dark as you stare down the sun
until blind love burns away
Blind love burns away

Called It Sun
The picture’s there to remind you
of everything that’s behind you
Came before
It came before
The light was there to reveal you
The darkness there to conceal you
There’s only one
There’s only one
And they called it Sun
And they called it Sun
And when the light is gone they carry on
The storm that came without warning
The water rose without ending
Above the trees
Above the hills
The clouds that part in the morning
The light that gave without judgement
To everyone
The rain had gone
And they called it Sun
And they called it Sun
And when the light is gone they carry on
And they called it Sun
And they called it Sun
And when the light is gone they carry on

Over The River
There’s a moon that never falls
Over a stream that never flows
Above a sun that’s always rising
Under a tree that never grows
There’s a fall thats never-ending
Beneath a dream that never sleeps
Along a road that’s always bending
Straight to a gift that never keeps
Take my heart, take it tonight
Lay it down by the riverside
Take my heart, take it tonight
My love. Oh, my love
Tell me what you’re dreaming of
Draw a straight line to the bottom
So long we’re always falling in
Stretch it out to the horizon
Where we could fall in love again
As we wander the shoreline
As we sift the waters edge
Finding all that was behind us
Left frozen in the dredge
Take my heart, take it tonight
Lay it down by the riverside
Take my heart, take it tonight
My love. Oh, my love
Tell me what you’re dreaming of
I see the moon over the river
Is it the taker or the giver?
Is it the dream or is it the sleep?
Is there something I can keep?
Take my heart, take it tonight
Lay it down by the riverside
Take my heart, take it tonight
My love. Oh, my love
Tell me what you’re dreaming of

It's Already Over

It’s Already Over
The past is a promise, don’t make me a liar
Pulled from the wreckage, escaped from the fire
We only did what we did to survive
It’s already over
All in your mind
All in your mind
The mess that we left is all that you’ll find
Can’t look behind
Can’t look behind
It’s already over
Woke in the night, another bad dream
Interpret the possible meanings
But don’t let it shake you, it’s not what it seems
It’s only a bad dream
All in your mind
All in your mind
The dreams of the past are all that you’ll find
Can’t look behind
Can’t look behind
It’s already over
It makes a sound like barbed wire walking
My ear’s to the glass, someone is talking
Tied to the tracks with telegraph wire
After the fire
All in your mind
All in your mind
The ashes we left are all that you’ll find
Can’t look behind
Can’t look behind
It’s already over
It’s already over

Forever at the End
The picture was posed at the scene of the crime
The patterns have froze in a waltz out of time
In a phrase out of rhyme
In a song out of tune at the scene of the crime
From the start of the show the ending was clear
Say the magic words and it all disappears like it never was here
Fades into the black and just disappears
Wouldn’t let me be clear
Right or wrong, far or near
It’s been with me so long, pulling me in
All at once and never again
Forever at the end
Wings in the dirt, head in the clouds
Stabbing my back while they’re laughing at loud
A voice in the crowd
That nobody knows but everyone hears
Wouldn’t let me be clear
Right or wrong, far or near
It’s been with me so long, pulling me in
All at once and never again
Forever at the end
Stars on my skin, dust at my feet
Light me a torch
where the two rivers meet, where it all is complete
Where I’ll never be wrong, where I’ll finally be free
Wouldn’t let me be clear
Right or wrong, far or near
It’s been with me so long, pulling me in
All at once and never again
Forever at the end

Blue Train
I’ve got a ticket for a blue train, and a picture of you
Some tape holds it together where it once was torn in two
It seems that once again I have love and pain confused
I don’t know if I broke your heart or if I was being used
Tears roll down through the cracks of my smile
I start to think I’d be okay if I just stayed awhile but now I see
Too lost for believing in any road I chose
I don’t know the right road anymore
The Devil’s beating his wife again, you can see it in the sky
The rain keeps falling down while the Sun is shining bright
It’s an old wive’s tale, but it still rings true
I start to think I’d be okay if I just stayed with you, but now I see
Too lost for believing in any road I chose
I don’t know the right road anymore
There’s a voice that I could follow, and a voice I could ignore
But the only voice I hear right now is yelling ‘All aboard!’
Now the train has left the station and the ticket’s torn in two
The seat beside me’s empty, and as far as I can tell the sky is blue
Too lost for believing in any road I chose
I don’t know the right road anymore
