Poseidon
03:13
|

Walking through the alleyways now,
Filled with broken glass,
Remembering waves they once felt,
when they were merely grains of sand,
Conch-shells on the seashore echo,
Memories of the past,
Of how they made those phone calls,
From all those mermaids to their lads,
Searching for the secret of the,
Secret of the flame,
The one that keeps on burning
Atop the highest earthly waves,
The stormy sea now wages war with,
Poseidon's holy wrath,
Wondering why the seagulls swam to shore,
Instead of flying back,
But deep inside the lighthouse
Poseidon's second son calls home,
They keep the beacons burning for all the sailors on the roam
And one day when these waves come,
Crashing down upon us, I'll be right here next to you,
And when you see that lighthouse guiding
Your way back, then you'll realize what I saw in you,
Searching for the secret of the secret of the flame,
The one that keeps on burning even in the pouring rain,
One night the light stopped shining,
And from the lighthouse were heard blues,
The last the lighthouse beacons shone,
Was the day that he last saw you.

Damocles
03:03
|

Faded armor washed ashore,
Damocles ooh,
Bruised and battered, such a broken soul,
Damocles ooh,
Without Saying goodbye,
Somewhere over the world he fell,
Three blades pierced his chest,
From where he could hardly tell,
Silent footsteps haunting memories,
feels like centuries ago,
how he rose and oh how he fell,
who knows where those angels have flown,
Faded armor, washed ashore,
Damocles ooh,
Bruised and battered, But still marching on
Damocles ooh,
On a journey to mend,
On a journey to feel again,
When you're lost in the dark,
you'll find the light, to guide you again
Faded armor, washed ashore,
Damocles ooh,
Bruised and battered, but still marching on,
Forgot to die, long ago...

Say GoodBye
02:57
|
|||
Stepped out of the car,
Trying to figure out what to say,
Lady justice closed her eyes, her
Scales tipped away,
Kiss me neath that staircase,
Oh hold me one last time,
Open up my soul again as you,
Place your lips to mine
Looking back at the memories
Of a lifetime ago,
To when we hugged and laughed to,
When we were all we had,
Oh, looking back at the memories, you and I just the same,
Do you now know why we,
Met and had to say...
Kept wondering why, we were poison in our veins,
Kept making it so wrong to, keep on loving ooh,
Spin a little closer now, breathe me in and breathe you out,
Rest your head up on my, upon my shoulder,
We're safe to dream our dream,
For maybe a second more,
Looking back at the memories, of a lifetime ago,
To when we hugged and laughed, to when we were all we had,
Looking back at the memories, you and I just the same,
Do you now know why we, met and had to say good bye,
Stepped back to car, as I watched you walk away,
Theres just a photo left of the day we went our ways,
Looking back at the memories of a lifetime ago,
Do you now know why we, met and had to say goodbye...

A Little Less
03:55
|
|||
She felt like a pillow in the morning
Her kisses soft and tender, passionate
Ever heard of many gods or saints or angels?
But how I know my heaven’s where you are
A hundred miles I'd ride and a hundred more
Realize the pain wasn't in my bones
And here I am, it feels like pain I guess
And then I see your smile, your glow again
It was once for me, but now for someone else
But to see you glow it hurts a little less
When it came to being me I was never brave
When it came to loving you, girl I was never afraid
Watched you leave, wanting you to stay
Prayed to your God to let me burn instead
You weren't beautiful for the shade that you left
No, you were beautiful for the way you felt
So here I am, this feels a little less
You've been gone a while and the road's been quite a mess
A part of me is gone there's not much else
All the love that's in your letters is all I've left
To see you glow it hurts a little less
You said you're happy now, you've found someone else
But to see you glow it hurts a little less
Baby I swear that it all hurts a little less
I once felt that heart beat soft upon my chest
But now that heart is beating
For someone else

Something Blue
05:05
|
|||
Lying in your arms and memories,
Of running my fingers through your hair,
Sneaking through the corridors hearts are racing,
And our lips ensnared,
Sunlight streaming through the window,
We're stuck inside a world of our own,
Your face resting in my hands, and a universe,
Between my eyes and yours,
And I heard, that this is all,
You've been looking for,
And I hope, that this is all,
That you will need
So here's something old, something new,
Something borrowed, and something blue
Something old, something new,
Something borrowed, and something blue.
To no more hiding down in boulevards,
And no more heartache bleeding at our door,
To no more hurried hugs, I love you's and goodbyes,
Not anymore,
And I heard, that this all,
That you've been looking for,
And I hope, that this all,
That you will need,
So here's something old something new
Something borrowed and something blue
A love that's old, a life that's new
Something borrowed and something blue
Darling if you're ever feeling blue
There'll always be a silver sixpence in your shoe
And darling if your ever feeling blue,
There always be a silver sixpence, in your shoe
Lying in your arms and memories,
Of running my fingers through your hair,
Reaching out to grasp, oh just to feel you in the empty air
Then I heard this is all that you've been looking for,
And I hope that this is all, that you will need
So here's something old, something new,
Something borrowed and something blue,
A love thats old, A life thats new,
My hearts been borrowed,
So heres something blue.

Tales & Misadventures
04:17
|
|||
Wedding bells and castles in the sky,
Winding up those mountains way up high,
We're following the footsteps of two lovebirds on the run,
Tales and misadventures of,
Your dad and I
A week before the church bells turn to toll,
He calls me up on an old beat up phone,
Hurried words and eighty questions, silenced by these words,
Bro I'm getting married,
I'm coming home
Wedding bells and castles in the sky,
Winding up those mountains way up high,
We're following the footsteps of two lovebirds on the run,
Tales and misadventures of,
Your dad and I
A cab rolls up the drive its 5 am,
I'm up before the sun, its way too soon,
Just a driver in the car, stuck with two wacky weird best-men,
One in shiny beach shorts, and the other
Firing up a blaze
Wedding bells and castles in the sky,
Winding up those mountains way up high,
Were following the footsteps of two lovebirds on the run,
Tales and misadventures of,
Your dad and I
It's been five hours, and your dads been called a cun*,
The drivers fast asleep at the edge of the sun,
We're waiting for two lovebirds, to hurry up and run,
thinking
But then we heard wedding bells and songbirds fill the sky,
Your mom and dad rolled up on a crimson ride,
We followed in the footsteps of two lovebirds on the run,
Tales and misadventures of,
Your dad and I
Slowly now the driver stirs awake,
He sees me rolling up another bake,
Sir wheres the bride and groom to be,
I really wanted to see!
So we told him about wedding bells and songbirds in the sky,
How your mom and dad rolled up on a crimson ride,
We'll sing more songs when you get old, and we get younger every night,
More tales of dad and this old fart,
Or one more lullaby
