Ocular Whisper
02:57
|
|||
|
And on an evening this past summer
Crossing the threshold of a
Dream in technicolour
I saw my brother
And at the other end of the vista
Through a cobweb of mist, I
Thought I saw my sister
Ocular whisper
Why?
And we are strangers to one another
Though we look like each other
But from son to father
Why don't you bother?
Why?

Soft Bokeh

Well, here I am, wide awake in the middle of the night
With whirling winds of dismay circulating through my mind
And there I am, just lying around, tossing and turning
Tomorrow morning I know I'm going to pay the price
You could call me a sad man
That's quite alright
I guess I shouldn't complain but I'm going to anyway
I'm out of sorts and in pain after another blurry day
With skies of red inside of my eyes, itching and twitching
Tomorrow morning I know will be the price I pay
You could call me a sad man
That's quite alright
Eyes out of focus, the rain arranges a bouquet
Of dazzling illuminations, sheathed in a soft bokeh
And now I'm floating around, without blinking or thinking
Looking through my windowpane, outside and inside in a way
You could call me a sad man
That's quite alright
You could call me a sad man
That's quite alright

Wave Goodbye
02:25
|

Sun will rise and, big surprise, I'm
Stoned again 'cos
I just crave good vibes
Stay inside or go outside? I
Need advice on
Someplace I can hide
Slow down time and I can hike the
Great divide, will
That help me unwind?
Come on out, have a look around
Be brave, you're fine, it's
All just in your mind
World goes 'round, the sun goes down, now
Wave goodbye 'cos
I am stoned again

Another Hungry Mouth
04:38
|

|
I'm at the point where I
Look at myself and see
Nothing but another hungry mouth
Only for me to feed
Kind of like packaging
Machines in factories
Where I found incarceration through
Kijiji and Indeed
Oh, and a number of
Employment agencies
But my life is passing right on by
By me at record speed
At such a pace that I
Hardly can keep up with
But I think that I could if it meant
That I'd be leaving this
Forsaken place where I
Can't even find the time
For myself to do all of the things
That I don't want to do
Let alone to do all of the things
I actually want to

Take a vacation? Yeah, maybe I will, or
Maybe I'll swallow this bitter pill instead
And hope to god that I just don't wake up
I could use the time off to gather
All of my feeble thoughts
But I don't want to let you down
And make you wish that I'd disappear
I don't want to let you down, but I've just
Gotta get away from here, mama
I don't want to let you down, but I've just
Gotta get away from here, mama
Hanging from a noose on daddy's branch of the
Family tree, dying as it stands with
Roots deep in the earth, I'll be swinging back and forth
I could use the time off to gather
All of my feeble thoughts
But I don't want to let you down
And make you wish that I'd disappear
I don't want to let you down, but I've just
Gotta get away from here, mama
I don't want to let you down, but I've just
Gotta get away from here, mama
Take a vacation? Yeah, maybe I will, or
Maybe I'll swallow this bitter pill instead
And hope to god that I just don't wake up
I could use the time off to gather
All of my feeble thoughts
But I don't want to let you down
And make you wish that I'd disappear
I don't want to let you down, but I've just
Gotta get away from here, mama
I don't want to let you down, but I've just
Gotta get away from here, mama
I don't want to let you down

I could say I love you 'til my face turns navy blue
But everything I say is wrong, someone better may come along
And that's just me guessin', hopin', keepin' my options open
I'm tired of your insolence, and if by some coincidence it seems
Like I'm not where you are when you want me to be it's 'cos I'm not
And never have, ever before
Bop bop bop bah
I don't laugh and I don't cry
I don't care so I won't try
Truth be told, my dear, I, oh I, oh I would rather die
Than put up a losing fight, I wouldn't have to think twice
'Cos everywhere I look, you're there, and it's keeping me well aware
That this is some form of torture leavin' me out of order
Like some mechanical instrument, and if it seems coincidental that
I'm never where you are when you want me to be it's 'cos I'm not
And never will, ever again
Bop bop bop bah
I don't laugh and I don't cry
I don't care so I won't try
Truth be told, my dear, I, oh I, oh I would rather die
No one else I know is quite as cruel as you, making me do
The desperate things that I do all the time
So, what else can those empty eyes do but lie, shatter my mind?
I can't read yours, can you read mine?
No one else I know is quite as cruel as you, making me do
The desperate things that I do all the time
So, what else can those empty eyes do but lie, shatter my mind?
I can't read yours, can you read mine?
I don't laugh and I don't cry
I don't care so I won't try
Truth be told, my dear, I, oh I, oh I would rather die

There's a Bridge There
04:59
|

|
Around the time the snow first fell
Just as it got dark
Policemen found a body at
Smokey Hollow Park
And now there's a mist there
There's a mist there now
And now there's a mist there
There's a mist there now
His death was not suspicious as
Much as it was tragic
He was only in his thirties and
Already he had had it
And there's a bridge there
And there's a bridge there
And there's a bridge there
And there's a bridge there
