Cross Purposes

I talked in cross purposes in my dreams
I could only laugh at myself when I woke
But I asked myself to be the one to discern reason
What of the threads that can never be tied
I take no comfort in parallel lives
I have no frame it all fits inside
I have no room for this here in my mind
But I couldn't let it leave without a single sound
I had to give it life, give it life
I couldn't let it leave without a single sound
I had to give in life somewhere it would resound
I talk in cross purposes so it seems
I can only laugh at myself when I watch
But I look for a word of some power
To put all my weight behind
I would be willing to talk it all through
Alter my vision of which parts were true
But I've given a lot of my time to this version of you

The Anxious Medley

I found a world within
The world I'd woken in
Held my ear to a shell
For all that I could tell it was breathing
I'm haunted by the shell
For all that I could tell it was breathing
If I am not careful I'll become the dust upon the mantle
Crouching in the darkness, only ever asking for an echo
If something shakes the dust up, I will feel my heart beat louder than a drum
But will it come, will it come, will it come
Dust caught in your throat but you don't know enough to cough it up
It settles on your tongue to gather at the bottom of your lungs
If something shakes you up, you will feel your heart beat louder than a drum
But will it come, will it come, will it come
If we are not careful we'll become the dust upon the mantle
Crouching in the darkness, only ever asking for an echo
You will shake the dust up, I will feel my heart beat louder than a drum
And we will run, we will run we will run

Spiders (live)
05:46
|

|
I've got spiders making their webs
On my tuning pegs
And I've held on for so long
It will turn me into an old, old woman
I am afraid that meaning has already been,
Stayed for tea and passed like a dream;
All of the lives in the back of your eyes
Play the best of the scenes
I've got spiders making their webs
On my tuning pegs
And I've held on for so long
It will turn me into an old, old woman

The Pie Song

If you won't indulge her demons she will bake them in a pie,
Feed it to you every night, feed it to you every night
And the bitter taste it leaves you both will last for your whole lives
Because it can't disguise the poison pastry's only the outside
'When did my dinner start to taste so foul?'
You'll wonder out aloud,
'When did my little wife a-fix that scowl upon her brow?'
If you won't indulge her demons she'll indulge you in her pie
Because she can't remove the poison while it still runs through her mind.
'She is mine, she is mine,' cry the demons of her mind,
Now impossible to find because the pastry makes you blind.
Spit it out, spit it out, when did my life begin to be about
The stoney cold communion of this dinner time of doubt?

In Spirit (live)
03:05
|

|
I've got nothing on me
To clean up the mess
I really wish I'd gotten us in
You, with me but where
In spirit you flew
Outside of time while I waited for you
I hear someone dancing
Right outside my door
I can almost hear their feet call
You, with me but where
In spirit you flew
Outside of time while I waited for you

This Thought's End
04:00

Protect me from things that are all show
'Cause I've susceptible eyes but I trust you to know
Oh I've susceptible eyes but I trust you to know
Vines will grow, they will grow where it makes most sense to go
I have tried, tried to know what it makes most sense to know
If you see me here well I am just a creeping plant that had to find some stone
Prevent me forgetting all I've known
'Cause I've tried not to bend with the waver of this thought's end
I've tried not to bend with the waver of this thought's end
Vines will grow, they will grow where it makes most sense to go
I have tried, tried to know what it makes most sense to know
If you see me here well I am just a creeping plant that had to find some stone
