Rare Songs
The Unknown / I Will Rise
All the years on the rock
We are so few
We are wolves hunted
Put a babe in that womb
In the morning move
Before The Taint takes us all
Minnows swim to the sea
Meet a sort of death
In an oval net
Swirl the Milky Way
In a crowning fray
See you turning in the crystal
Fear and love
have us
Running
To the arms of the unknown
Kicking up dirt
In the universe
Order’s bound to disappear
We're running into the unknown
[guitar solo]
When the dust has died
We will set up land
Where yesterday turn magic
Try to see the sun
Through the drone cover
Like the over-queens we were
Fear and love
have us
Running
To the arms of the unknown
Kicking up dirt
In the universe
Order’s bound to disappear
We're running into the unknown
[guitar solo]
Here we'll make a life
Forge that fear into an artifact
Find the sun in blackened clouds
Lit by men untrue
I will rise
Turn these tears into knives
One slow breath at a time
Make our own light
Make our own life alone
I will rise
Turn these tears into knives
One slow breath at a time
Make our own light
Make our own life alone.
MY SIDE OF THE ROOM
On my side of the room the sweet smell of victory
has left me alone
I’ve forgotten the ways I used to win
We insist on divisions instead of walking away
When we should just walk away
There’s no escaping this feeling once we’re in
I gotta get out of here the best way I know
It’s a circle we draw when we can’t let go
Come over if you can to my side of the room
I’ll make you understand
The only way we’ll say goodbye
Is on my side of the room
If love is meant to be strong why do I feel so weak
With every move that I make
A late-night resolution isn’t good enough this time
I gotta get out of here the best way I know
‘Cause the boundaries between have hurt us so
Come over if you can to my side of the room
I’ll say it once again
The only way we’ll say goodbye
We know what should be done
We know what we should do
We know the answer
As we look each other across this room
I gotta get out of here the best way I know
Because you’ll turn it on wrong if I don’t choose to go.
Feast for Eyes
written for Days of Games, but not chosen for the record.
oh in the cellar
i was a lake
cracked at the deep end
Let this let it be a mistake
Singing let this let it be a mistake
Singing
I climbed fourteen steps
Talked to my mother
She said “Man they are just this way”
Let this let it be a mistake
Singing let this let it be a mistake
Singin
Flesh on pulp
I’m dead in my skull
If i’m feast for eyes why do I believe in anything?
BIG HAIR
Still workin' with the pain its unfortunate
Trying to look for a voice in a paper cup
Yeah
Sometimes you just gotta gotta get out
All the dirt is on the hammers and I can't be loud
I'm with Petty and I won't be backin down
Gonna rock some
Big hair no pain
Jump up and down
Like nothing's changed
Got the look your lookin for
I'm gonna be a rock star
I was givin me an 88-key goodbye
I was told to get rid of myself and hide
Get a cover get a cover of a magazine
Well
All I know is that fear is that nasty beast
Turns your soul into a full course fancy feast
But tonight I'm my own metal queen
Gonna rock some
Big hair feel no pain
Jump up and down
Like nothing's changed
Got the look your lookin for
I'm gonna be a rock star
He keeps comin' after me
Asking for money for the damn Cds
But zero percent of zero equals nothing
He don't know
He better go and rock some Big hair!
