Taken. Mistaken.
It's a whole new odyssey. I come by it honestly.
Broken. I'm broken.
It's the way that you wanted me.
It's the way that I want to be.
Sadly, dropped you off my keychain.
Sent you down the storm drain.
Relieve me of all my pain.
Back seat driver in my brain you got me. I'm restrained.
I'm sorry. I abstain and you're deranged.
Pander. Coriander.
It smells like heaven to me just like you want it to be.
Patience. Impatiens.
You brought them from across the sea.
Impressive but not what I need.
Sadly, dropped you off my keychain.
Sent you down the storm drain.
Relieve me of all my pain.
Back seat driver in my brain you got me. I'm restrained.
I'm sorry. I abstain and you're deranged.
Look at those who you bought.
Look at those who you need.
You’ll get the best of me, guaranteed.
It's a deal, you'll agree.
Disappoint who you want.
Disappoint who you need.
You’ll get the best of me, guaranteed.
It's a deal but not for me.
Let's agree to agree.
Sadly, dropped you off my keychain.
Sent you down the storm drain.
Relieve me of all my pain.
Back seat driver in my brain you got me. I'm restrained.
I'm sorry. I abstain and you're deranged.

These towns of thieves we’ve learned to trust
Fall down deceased and then turn to dust and then burn for us
The crows and flies that wait outside
Close their eyes
‘Til the flames subside and the day arrives
And outside in the white
They tell us all is right
that this mystery is nothing rare
But I don’t care that they do
Because I know that you are lovely solidthru
The great mistake that brought us here
Will shake awake the atmosphere leaving what’s most dear
Your enemies and mine
Are all falling into line
To confuse and malign
And I don’t mind that they do
Because I know that you are lovely solidthru
The couriers of time descended and spoke
They forwarded a line; they handed us a note
To advise us to kindly abandon all hope
Only leaving us to find that the end of the rope
Was the beginning
The crows and flies now testify
The crowd divides
Then lets us by and then says goodbye
Your friends and maybe mine
Are all falling into line
And tell us this is for us to share
And I’m aware now that it’s true
Because I know that you are lovely solidthru

Kiss and tell,
Never will.
I can never get my fill.
Need your stain on my brain.
Not so secretly ashamed.
Put you in a corner of my bed.
Put you in my pocket,
Keep you in my head.
Cuz I like you.
Yes I like you!
That's why I penned this ode to TV.
I resume you.
I consume you.
That's why I penned this ode to TV.
That's why I penned this ode to TV.
Say no more.
You're for sure.
I know what you have in store.
Need your stain on my brain.
Not so secretly ashamed.
I can bribe you,
Unsubscribe you.
That's why I penned this ode to TV.
I can leave you,
When I need to.
That's why I penned this ode to TV.
Put you in a corner of my bed.
Put you in my pocket,
Keep you in my head.
You don't love me.
You don't need me.
That's why I penned this ode to TV.
You don't bleed me.
You don't leave me.
That's why I penned this ode to TV.
See you nightly,
Shining brightly.
That's why I penned this ode to TV.
I resume you.
I consume you.
That's why I penned this ode to TV.
That's why I penned this ode to TV.

Closer

The men who built our town
Are now drunk and dishonored
Is this how you want it?
They burned our symphonies
Our psalms and our sonnets
All our seascapes and still lives
My darling, is this how you want it?
When we were closer
Than any two would dare
But we never made it there
The house where we dawdled
Is now empty and haunted
Is this how you want it?
But the mice have been driven out
And the snakes have been corners
And the moths have surrendered
My darling, is this how you want it?
When we were closer
Until it almost felt like home
But we closed the night alone
The railways, runways and tar
Are outside awaiting you
What are you waiting for?
I’ll nail your heart to a start
While heaven is baiting you
What are you waiting for?
I’ll hold you until it hurt you
What are you waiting for?
I’ll kiss you ‘til your good sense deserts you
What are you waiting for?
Is this how you want it?
Well that isn’t going to bring us closer
Closer
As we stumbled toward the door
Closer
As we fumbled for the oars
Just like he rows
But he gets no closer to shore

Girl Zoo

Feeling small
She can’t breathe out
The air shimmers and shakes her
As she tries to figure it out
This piece of the con
That keeps her hanging on
The root reaches the fire
Sends it out across the wire
Casting off without a net
Will she fall?
Will she fall?
And she’s off in the sky
Don’t wait up
She’s too high
Let it infect you and grow in your bones
Let it heal your wounds and cool your burns
Feed that animal
Feed that animal
And she’s off in the sky
Don’t wait up
She’s too high
In her wake know her grace
Step off and meet her and rise
OOOOOHHHH
And she’s off in the sky
Don’t wait up
She’s too high
In her wake know her grace
Step off and meet her and
Rise, rise, rise.

New Moon

The old days don’t want you
The new days are on to you
A new moon is waiting
The future will haunt you
The sorrows you undo
A day late, and one too few
The earth is embracing
The starlight will shun you
These days will murder you
Your worries are ageless
Your sky clear of saviors
Drive off to a new moon
And rest in the craters
These dreams can hurt you too
And if you start crying now
You will cry forever
If the tears start falling down
They will fall forever
And if you start falling down now
You will fall forever
And if you start crying now
You will cry forever
This love that surrounds us
So shifting and boundless
Awake in a new day
And pray that it’s found us
These days can murder you

You knew from early dawn
How the day was getting on
Your fear outruns it
Now comes the sunset
It’s a thing of wonder
A rush of color
With the ideal view
And the best that you can do
Is to gaze into the sunlight
Gaze into the sun
Preparing for that one night
When your face is pale and drawn
And your faith has left and gone
And your fate is looking on just like the cat inside the window
Your age, it suits you well
Routines and rituals
The days soar past
And now comes your last (No no!)
Don’t dream you’re powerless
Just because your hourglass
Is bottom heavy
Your head’s so far from empty
As you stare into the sunlight
Stare into the sun
So hard to see it done right
When your made of breath and brawn
And your mate has left and gone
Your maker’s looking on just like the cat inside the window
Stare into the sunlight
Stare into the sun
So many days undone by
Those stairs that took you down
And those stares that shook the ground
The stars just look around just like the cat inside the window

Jenny

Jenny told a joke about a suicide.
She never wrote a note.
She never got a vote
For exposing all of the feelings that she couldn’t hide.
She sang it like a song only wants to move along with her life.
Jenny got rich selling bags of vitamins.
She never ate a one.
Never went out in the sun.
She just counted all her sins out into cookie tins.
She never lost control.
She never told a soul what’s in her mind.
When she said she’d never lived,
She knew life was such a gift.
But oh it wouldn’t do…
No not for her.
The people wouldn’t pray before
The one that they should so adore.
Just let them eat their cake.
Johnny followed Jenny on his bicycle.
Thought her a superstar
Keeping hearts inside a jar.
For her to love him... it would be a miracle.
Knew she was undersold.
He saw that there was gold there in her eyes.
Heaven knows we’re heaven sent…
Heaven knows we’re heaven sent…
When she said she’d never lived,
She knew life was such a gift.
But oh it wouldn’t do…
No not for her.
The people wouldn’t pray before
The one that they should so adore.
Just let them eat their cake.

Holding Pattern
03:23
|

Loped up like a bear in the night
Wasn’t expecting it to feel so right
I walked alone into this
Piper played his melody
That one I can’t resist
And I haplessly fell
Couldn’t stop myself
Oh, I’ll never learn
Put it all together
Or rip it all apart
It really doesn’t matter
Where we stop or start
The pattern repeats
And I act surprised
But I knew where I’d end up
I know what I hide
The sun looks like paper
The air is gasoline
I’m gonna leave this town
So my insides will be clean
And I haplessly fell
Couldn’t stop myself
Oh, I’ll never learn
Bad love, bad love
I’ll never learn

You Are Killing Me
04:45
|
|||
|
The trace of mechanics and grace that you leave in your wake
So sweet and pure, there’s no mistake
The weight of our hearts out awaiting a word on their fate
Is crushing; The news is late
So while the end is near
Do you have a better idea?
The roar of the crowd as our hearts are beaten out loud
Will do me in and do you proud
The thread in the letter that read I’d be better off dead
Has been replaced; Read this instead
So while the end is near
And before your friends get here
Do you have a better idea?
Because you are killing me

The Daylilies Massachusetts
The Daylilies are a new band composed of living relics of Boston rock and roll history, including ex-members of the Fast Easy Women, Mistle Thrush, Reverse, PermaFrost & the Feather Lungs. Their sound can most easily be described as “pop,” though electronic rock, post-grunge and new wave are also frequently accurate. Triangulation finds their sound somewhere between Garbage, The Cars and Low. ... more
