take these words
out of my mouth
use them
to paint your portrait
i never spoke
or sang a note
you sang for me
let it be known
that we were here
and we knew no release
sing for me
open your mouth
river flows down the soundperformance:dennis harvey: all instruments | voice

With defenses so refined from
Hearts they have outgrown so many times
That love looks too far to fall
Will it matter if they’re rendered helpless
If once invincible they still focus
On scars they cannot recall
Misfortunate enough to know what is right
When every memory lost is a welcome change
Missing the future again
Wearing their scars like a full second-skin
Unaware of where the past left off
Or the present begins
Each day starting over missing the future
Discarding recollections believing
It is only safe whenever they are moving
Hydroplaning under the radar daydreaming
Journeying wearing blinders sleeping in boxcars
Dying to make lasting impressions continuously
Saving up to appear enlightened endlessly
Harboring tribulation aimlessly
Searching for closure elsewhere instinctively
With a portion for friends and a fortune for others
Unfortunately they have no room for lovers
Swimming and pursued by uncertain seas
With uncertainty all around
From years spent learning indifference
They don’t know what it is they have found
With experiences stretching out in every direction
Reflection only gets in the way
Slowing down to take in shallow breaths
They’re struggling just to stay above the wavesperformance:jason harvey: bass guitar

Polish the memory
Make it all shiny
Leave out the details, the regrets
You're allowed to say you would've done it right
You would've carried him home
That's where you're wrong
That's never coming true
No one is saving his place
Time won't run backwards as much as you want to erase
You had your chance
And it's gone
Find me a physicist
Buy him a drink at the bar and then stay as it bursts into flames
He says call 911
He says call me the one from now on
But everything's wrong
That's never coming true
No one is taking his place
Time won't run backwards
Instead it kicks you in the face
I had my chance
And it's goneperformance:dennis harvey: all instruments | voice

Once I had a cavity bigger than my head
It covered up passers-by and very quickly spread
To the supermarket where I planned to buy bread
To pack the gaping seeping wound but instead
The cavity had enveloped it
(You should use the Listerine)
Once I had 20 throwing stars +1
I used them all fighting Demogorgon
I rolled 6 20s and used "Power Word: Stun"
And he still kicked my ass
(You should use the Black Razor)
Once I was walking down the street on my way
To the street corner where I saw a suitcase
All along the sidewalk was a trail of bloody spray
I turned around screaming and ran the other way
Instead of finding the cause of it
(You should use the DNA)

watch people dance
watch people watch and dance away
watch people sing and dance away
in each others' arms
they must be god
watch these people
in sickness and in health
watch these people
incensed and overjoyed
these must be god
watch me hold my eyes
watch me dry my eyes
watch me close my eyes
watching it as it is watching the eyes in my eyes light up
watching it as it is watching my eyes watching on the screen
watching it as it is watching my eyes focus on it
why have i these eyes
why must these be mine
why must these be blind
watch you in the mirror
watch you in the screen
watch you as you lift your hand
to touch the glass
and trace your silhouette
as i trace in shock
i of all the people here
can see your face
you must be
open your eyes
see me
my eyes and my android heart
my android heart
my android heartperformance:dennis harvey: all instruments | voice
