iCE AGE

so far away, from my heart while breaking it so
far away, there's no such thing
as taking the easy way out
yesterday's gone, she says
tomorrow's only a dream for you
the snow covers up her face
and only then can I truly see
she's so far away, from my heart while breaking it so
far away, there's no such thing
as taking the easy way out
there once was a girl who I knew
she swore it snowed on the moon
cold as the sky in deepest winter
bright as the sun at noon
because she really, really, really believed it
she almost made it true
far away, from my heart while breaking it so
far away, there's no such thing
as taking the easy way
far away, so far away
i can feel the ice is getting thick around me
(don't waste so much time
on all those avalanches in your mind
react to what's real, find power in what you feel)
now she is gone into yesterday's pocket
an angel dark and queer
her voice is alive inside, she talks to me
when i have the strength to hear
welcome to the ice age, baby
is it cold enough for you to be?
there's a saber-tooth shoulda-woulda
coulda-been-dazzling, but it ain't you, it ain't me
just a process of isolation, fame is not the easy way out
and it'll kill your dream in the heart of winter
it'll kill your dream in the heart of winter
don't let your dream die in the heart of the winter
(so far away)
don't let your dream die in the heart of the winter
(so far away)
sometimes i have taken the easy way
sometimes i think there'll never be another way
never thought in my wildest dreams that it would be so
cold

YOU'RE MY HEROiN(E)

you're tough
tougher than the rest
that's right, you're a toughskin
through and through
you play rough
rougher than the best roughrider
but that's alright with me
i'll survive you
and be all the better for my experience
you're tough
tough so that i don't have to be
you're my heroin
all of my thoughts and feelings
you are my experience
all love and hurting
i watch as your aloofness
hardens into arrogance
you swear life's all just a matter
of survival of the most willing
i'm not enlightened at all
and i never even try
you're my proof
life is greener on the other side
you're my heroin
all of my thoughts and feelings
you're how it begins and ends
love and hurting
in the meanwhile, i'm out of the way
watching from my safe sideline
as you win another day
and it crashes down on you
what did i do before i ever met you?
what did i do when i needed to be brave?
what do i do when i mess up my future,
and need my ass saved?
will i find self-destruction same as you?
what will i find, will you help me
find my way?
you're my hero

iNVISIBLE BOY

the darkest glasses, hat slung low
snowy, gauzy youthful glow
you don't see me
a hustle here, a hustle there
you hear my footsteps in the air
but you don't see me
time changes everything
now we just talk about the weather
holding onto the glass for style
flashing you an eager smile
but you don't see me
all i ever wanted to do
was catch a second glance from you
but you just play the queen of rust
grind my heartache into dust
run around saying,
"hey, hey, hey, where are you, boy?"
time changes everything
now we just talk about the weather
holding onto the past awhile
floating along in denial
and you don't see me
all i ever wanted to do
was catch a second glance from you
but you just play the queen of rust
grind my iron heart to dust
always gone the other way
grow more distant every day
i try to mesmerize you
but you never see me
you don't see me
i'm invisible

warfare, we like it
warfare, we like it
we punish you, issue upon issue
punish you, we punish and punish
can't escape, go ahead try to
we punish you with warfare
we like it
moaning like cattle, under the shadow of the press
now you hear the thunder like lovers doing battle
engaged in combat of the flesh
we like it
we punish you, issue upon issue
punish you, we punish and punish
can't escape, go ahead try to
we punish you with warfare
we like it
moaning like cattle, under the shadow of her dress
now you hear the thunder of lovers doing battle
engaged in combat of the flesh
we like it
(...i once was lost but now i'm found
was blind, but now i see)
fuck peace

POiNTY SHOES
03:33
|

tiny little dancer
her pointy shoes barely touch the ground
she keeps moving faster
as she slings sharp words around
how do she move so quickly
without that razorwire footwork
slicing up the linoleum
she's mighty proud of the shadow that she cuts
as the wind begins to howl (the wind begins)
walk away, walk away
she keeps walk, walk, walking away
she keeps walking
she don't look back at me
the lies are all around her
and she's all about telling you what she wants
you to do and when she wants you
to begin doing it
the gaps are getting wider
as she shuffles herself
back and forth from me to you
she don't have to worry
about that funny little thing called survival of the fittest
she's a 'Crombie zombie, she's dancing with the beast
as the wind begins to howl (the wind begins)
walk away, walk away
she keeps walk, walk, walking away
she keeps walking
she don't look back at me
in those shoes
(nirvana)
talking so fast to appear so happy here
(nirvana)
fanciest footwork all on the major stage
i almost saw you cry. just the hint
of a tear at the corner of your/my eye
(nirvana)
dancing around but you can't get through it
and you think that you know what's happening here
you can't deny, that ever since we were seventeen
we all knew it was worth every minute of our lives
(nirvana)
dancing around in the One True Movement
in those shoes

you gotta listen to me
talking from another point
talking from another point of pain
you gotta listen to me
i know one thing,
i know how to get out of the rain
open up your eyes to what's around
you will find that you can see me
open up your mind
to think a different kind of thought
and you will know me
hear me
say the things you want to say
but you're not sure you want to stay
and hear me
so the silence grows between us
and it's getting bigger everyday
and you know this
inside you know this
clear your inner ear
focus on the sound
hear
open up your mind
to think a different kind of thought
and you will know me
yeah, you'll know me
hold me
if we can't love and trust each other
how can we ever trust ourselves?
hold me
so close that we can't see
the distance that is growing there between us
you know it's there between us
don't you want to love me?
don't you want to love me?
cuz you know i wanna love you
you know i wanna love you
i wanna, wanna love, love
listen

i USED TO BE A SUPERSTAR
04:24
|

i used to be a superstar
used to be a comet bright
i was fire falling to the sea
on those crazy hot nights
i used to be the man who was
so certain of his dreams
he was already there
i can tell a tale of woe
and I'll reveal all in the end
but i can never tell the difference
between beginnings or the end
what happens when you finally get
to where you want to be
and you're already there?
i'm still trying to stay awake inside a dream
i keep crashing all across the sky
forget what love means
i'm burning bridges as I go
and running out of peace
but then even in my darkest hour
i am released
trying to escape a world
too neutral toward me
confronted daily with avoidance
inside, outside
and when you think you've got
the toughest row to hoe
then you do, you know
it always takes longer
to find the journey than the end
and after breaking all these many times
i’m learning to bend
and even when i can't determine where i oughta be
i am already there
i'm still trying to stay awake inside a dream
i keep crashing all across the sky
forget what love means
i'm burning bridges as I go
and running out of peace
but then even in my darkest hour
i am released
but now i'm out of control, no,
no matter how hard i fake it
or break it down to the bone
or erase it with almost nothing left to show
i can’t escape it, and i'm so wasted
but i'm so close that i can almost taste it
now i may never see the road
that i have chosen through to the end
and i may never reach the truth
with all these messages i send
but time's still taking me to task
extracting every toll
that's levied onto human souls
lord, don't i know

i was always orbiting
the shadow of the earth
and I'm the only one who saw
the darkness also rises in the east
as i circled toward the west
all alone
every night in the giant sky
another star is gone
yesterday i was dying
today i am born
i'm holding out for more
now she's bringing me home
"you have got to live life
live like nobody's messing you around
you have got to bend like
bend like there is no breaking you down
you've got to love, like you'll never get hurt
even though you will"
isolation for me
has always equaled peace of mind
i go a million light years to escape
what i don't want to find
holding out for more
on my own
did a little dance of fear
at the horizon of time
i was so intoxicated by
how far i could fly out in the dark
but i don't live there anymore
now she's bringing me home
"you have got to live life
live like nobody's messing you around
you have got to bend like
bend like there is no breaking you down
you've got to love, like you'll never get hurt
even though you will"
i was so far out there your heat couldn't warm me
space is pretty cold, but a vacuum can't harm me
you pulled me out of orbit with your sense of gravity
you circled in like voyager with a secret message
from the dog star:
"you've got to go
go like nobody's messing you around
you have got to bend like
bend like there is no breaking you down
you have got to live life
got to live your own life
there's no rehearsal
and there is no other life
you've got to live it like you'll never get hurt"
