The Devils Ark

Love struck out on a roll
cupid In Tow
Fireworks a flying
Then youre back at the end
Taking the strain
The foot of the mountain
Well that's just fine
I don't fear the fall
its better to loose
Than hang on to nothing
Its easier to walk on the water
Its easier to keep my head down
Its easier to drown out
Than sail my soul on
The Devils Ark
Once I kissed a friend
Who thought I could be
A prince in the waiting
But woe be tides the ship
when frogs all he is
No crown for the taking
God what a rope
You neck yourself in
Guess im to swing
So sorry Miss Haven
Its easier to walk on the water
Its easier to keep my head down
Its easier to drown out
Than sail my soul on
The Devils Ark
Here lies the ruse
Here lies the wreck
Here lies me thinking
You sink for the truth
Or float on the lie
The devils a sailing
Well I wont sail on no more
Better devils that you don't know
Than better devils that you do
Oh I hope that means something
Its easier to walk on the water
Its easier to keep my head down
Its easier to drown out
Than sail my soul on
The Devils Ark

Featherhead
05:17
|

|
All in tatters
Blue from black
Im halfway down the glass
Tired of hearing
Four leaf mantras
Getting nowhere fast
Then you smile
And curse me for a featherhead
Then you smile for me
But love is a lie
That wont let me go
Begging excuses
As bitter as bold
All for a smile
All for the curve of your mouth
Then you smile
And curse me for a featherhead
Then you smile for me

Stars Look Cheap

Thank you for the sign
Stupid valentine
Keep your wild ambitions
For the skies
Up there in the dark
Horoscraping dots
They don't mean a dash here
Oh constellation
save your breath on me
Im not listening
Ill cut you down to size
Shoot out all the lights
kill every satellite
The stars look cheap tonight dear
Sorry for the crap
Fickle as I am
Caught myself a comet
of my own
Brighter than bizarre
cartoon crickets wish upon
Dam it all to Disney baby
Oh constellation
spare the dust on me
Im not dreaming
Keep your second prize
Shoot out all the lights
kill every satellite
The stars look cheap tonight
Now youre here
Oh constellation
Save your breathe on me
Im not listening
Ill cut you down to size
Shoot out all the lights
kill every satellite
The stars look cheap tonight

Apple Of My Eye
02:29
|

Youre the light of my world
brighter than the brightest spark in heaven
Apple of my eye
Every smile that you shine
I could die a million times in wonder
Apple of my eye
All my life ive never seen such virtue
All my lifes been blinded by the blessing of you
So I pray every night
For the light and the love yore giving me
Apple of my eye

The Hardest Heart
04:00

The hardest heart
Would surely break for you
The strongest pride
Would fall from grace for you
And even though these souls you claim
Are only in your game
This heart of hearts
Yearns for you
The wisest man
Would play the fool for you
The greatest poet
Could not put rhyme to you
And though the promise of your lips
Would lie with every tender kiss
This fool of fools
Yearns for you
How could it be that such as you
Mocks love so sweetly
In ways that defeat everything I do
Your loves not true
And yet this heart
Will be condemned to you
And play the part
Of all youd ask it to
Waiting in hope
just for the day
That you may turn to me and say
this hardest heart
This foolish of hearts
This heart of hearts
Yearns for you

Blue Blue Smile

That blue blue smile
That sad sad sad soul
Still screws me up from aall the misery I've sewn
Those blue blue eyes
They say it all
What good is sorry
When I couldn't spell the word
When the fighting starts
When the meanings flown
Surely theres a part of us
That we could not let go
That blue blue smile
That sad sad soul
still keeps you wondering why
Youre putting on this show
those blue blue eyes
They say it all
Why say forever
If theres better down the road
Surely theres a part of us
that could not let go
My blue blue smile
My sad sad soul
Still screws me up
From all the misery ive sewn
My blue blue eyes
They say it all
Im trying baby
Maybe I can spell the word
So sorry baby
Tell me
I can spell the word

Hey there Oberon
Cant you hear the signs
Born upon a morning song
Not a sweeter sound
Blackbird spoken
Words worthless in rhyme
Its a poor mans prize
Hey there Oberon
Cant you see the light
Warmer than a lovers arms
Still as bold a bright
Summers stolen
A gilded golden smile
Its a poor mans prize
hey there Oberon
Its a wondrous life
Time its time to learn
How to live it right
Simple moments
A mothers lullaby]
Its a poor mans prize

Our little one
Welcome home to the world
With your mothers eyes adored
Praying so long
For your sweet surprise
Sleepless nights
Butterflies
Oh what a life
Our little dove
Had us lost in a moment
With no breath to call your own
Scared for too long
On a nightmare wild
Rollercoaster ride
Hold on tight
Oh what a life
