It’s only been in the deepest sleep that I’ve seen tomorrow
It’s only been when you’re far away that I see your face
With every emotion conflicted
From the past and the present colliding
Our love-hate relationships reflected
In the volumes of the secrets we’re hiding
We’re better off lost than left behind
With the creatures of habit that survive
By coming to the rescue to keep us crawling back
For the sustenance they provide
What was lost has been retrieved
Deconstructed reconceived
So throw away the insecurity
There’s no room left for what they had come to believe
How often we’ve denied
That it’s time to say goodbye
To the ghosts of the ones we’ve left behind
And to the spirits that they invite
Our recollections of paradise
Are full of holes and full of lies
But the love for life our hope revives
Is better than safe passage through the fire
We’ve made it this far punch-drunk and seeing stars
Revisiting memories camouflaging battle-scars
The only option left to choose we’re guaranteed to lose if we don’t start
Compensating for the times we’ve never laid to rest
Captivated by the love we’ve labored to forget
Complicated by the ones who know too much to know what is best
Countdown now or it’ll be too late to turn around
We made it here in the nick of time for a tandem leap of faith
We’re headed straight for another stage and this is it our axial age
If it takes more than a lifetime to capture
There’s no sense in waiting until we recover
The time we’ve surrendered will never get any closer
If it takes more than a lifetime to capture
There’s no sense in waiting until we’ve recovered
It’s over and still we keep missing the future
Forever is still out there begging to be discovered
Polarized by the sunlight we woke up in a sea of black-lights
And they’re still evolving wrapping around you and I
I’ve never forgotten the last minutes we spent
Facing each other before the winter set in
When the only thing that mattered
Was our slowly unfolding dream
It’s only been in the deepest sleep that I’ve seen tomorrow
It’s only been when you’re far away that I’ve seen your face
It’s only when you’re far away that I see your face
The first steps have been taken and they served to change the view
But there’s one bridge still left burning leaving only this path to choose
Though it may be higher and featureless its boundaries are limitless
How often we’ve denied
That it’s time to say goodbye
To the ghosts of the ones we’ve left behind
And to the spirits that they invite
Our recollections of paradise
Are full of holes and full of lies
But the love for life our hope revives
Will someday be worth the fight it’s been
To have this chance tonightperformance:jason harvey: bass guitar

Bittersweet creature comforts are here
Masquerading in this atmosphere
As shelter and enviable needful things
Bridges crumbled long before now
Manage to seem new again somehow
Needful things surround us when love can’t be found
Crisis and secrets and skeletons fill
Our best-kept crawlspaces
Where an iconic treasure trove may bend our will
It can’t match the love it replaces
Love in your thought word and deed
These are needful things
Set in motion each has sired
Rapture ruptured and set on fire
Sex and venues races and structures
Religion fashion form and culture
Love is all we have to give
Trust takes more than getting used to
Love is all I’ve left to give
I’ll take more than getting used to
Hungering for blessed mercies
Needful things devour the proceeds
Restraining love from withholding
Diligent disorders from building
Flourishing at best in turmoil
They backlash with a wicked recoil
Hallowed though are these
In this house are needful thingsperformance:jason harvey: bass guitar
