Buried Alive
04:04

Tell me just where you go.
Show me everything you know
'bout mountains and valleys,
'bout fountains and frosty caves.
Darling, you know
the places you wanna go
are too cold, too cold
to get buried alive here
where the ocean is oh so clear
and the seabirds they have no fear;
where no one will wonder
why we've gone
Tell me just what to say.
It's pointless - you always get your way
We're mountains and valleys,
we're mountains and frosty lakes
Darling, you see?
The landscape shakes the tree
only to see I get buried alive down
where the leaves are nowhere
to be found
I'll rest feeling safe and sound
frozen in the ground
I'm homeward bound.
When winter is over,
I'll wake up.
Darling, you know
the places you want to go
are too cold, too cold
to be buried alive
Darling, you see?
the landscape shakes the tree
only to see
I get buried alive down here.

Maze Pt. 1
04:03
|
|||
|
Keys and sticks for toys for years
Do you recall the weeks we spent in trees
Long ago
Let your hands
lead your way through this maze
Oh, you're not allowed to let it
leave the wall.
So here we are,
we've come this far overseas
You dare to risk it all
'cause you don't care
much about stones.
In this room is nothing but gloom.
Gloom and floor and somewhere a door.
This room's alive.
Along the lines my hands travel,
travel for light.

Oh Brother
06:37
|
|||
|
Every time you come around,
you somehow manage to bring me down,
you know, you know,
at least I think you know.
You tell me to sit up straight
but as far as I know I already am.
we know, we know,
at least I think we know
You Brother
you bother
Me in one way
in one way or the other
So tell me brother
Why so blue?
I'm leaving for the aisle,
so we'll no longer have to fight
on the phone
on the phone where your voice is so low.
Oh brother
you bother
Me in one way
in one way or the other
So tell me brother
Why so blue?
Why do you bother to try
You always smother me

Counselor
04:05
|
|||
|
Counselor you got an A on me and
without cheating
You gave me the block and killed
the bees in me with certainty.
And now you're working wonders
Even though
You're always lying
You're lying or sleeping
When you should be walking
Alongside them.
Yes you will grow and grow but not alone
Look at the ground.
Wolves will follow you
Look at the tracks
But oaks grow out of this world
So try to relax.
And yet you're lying
You're lying or sleeping
When you should be walking
Alongside them.

Jump Off The Page

|

|
I won't hide
and I won't search for what I need
It won't be long now I'm sure.
I long for your companionship.
I long for your cheek against mine.
So hurry up and jump off the page,
join me in the real world
and please don't be late.
I've read of your adventures,
so jump off the page.
Don't be stuck in a world of fiction,
don't ket a pencil rule your life.
Take control of the eraser.
Rewrite your destiny and come to me.
If you won't come out of those books,
I'll contact the author.
I'll make her make me
a part of your life on the pages.
Don't be stuck in a world of fiction,
don't ket a pencil rule your life.
Take control of the eraser.
Rewrite your destiny and come to me.

Tree
04:06
|
|||
|
The time was 7:05 when I woke up,
there was no summer-like sun.
And the lampposts sure can't
fill the void
that Sofie and her friends left behind
to blindfold us all deep down
below the snow.
The time was 10 past five
when I came home,
there was no summer-like sun
or no summer-like sky.
And the light on my bike can't
fill the void
that Sofie and her friends left behind
to blindfold us all deep down
below the snow.
And naturally we keep a tree
inside our house to keep it warm,
even though we know it won't last.
And naturally we keep a tree
inside our house to keep it warm,
even though we know it won't last
It won't last
It won't last us for long.

Pros Not Cons
03:38
|
|||
|
Oh no
I fear another year will fly by
At the speed of
Need to know
All the answers of the educated
Pros, not cons.
Don't break your head on the floor
It will only make them laugh and point
If they see it
If they read it
If they hear it
They won't understand it
Put a lock on your safe.
Read my lips with your fingertips;
you're blind.
And I'll bite them off,
I'll spit them out and make you crawl.

"Don't give me that look
with that smile on your face, no."
She replied to the gaze
as she looked to the ground,
creating a haze.
Of misread assumptions,
of misread connections and doubt.
Of misread assumptions,
of misread connections and doubt.
"Darling, don't you know
that I'm slipping through
your hand like sand?"
And it's messed up to say
that a dog in a chain is blocking our way.
To a room filled with blankets,
to a room filled with pillows
on the third floor.
To a room filled with silence,
only broken by whispers and deep sighs.
In this lodge,
where I can't hear,
where that girl from the south
never seems to disappear,
I won't get lost.
No, I'll find my way to the old oak tree
and cross the fences on fields.
You'll see the birds in a different light.
