Magic

The morning sun
As seen
For the first time in a long time
Seems like a dream
And I am only waking
From sleep
For the first time in a long time
On my knees
I am only praying
For magic
Waiting for some magic
Aching for magic
Isn’t it so tragic
And that’s the point
We can agree
For the first time in a long time
That it’s me
Me, who is mistaken
And in too deep
For the first time in a long time
I can see
I am already wading
In magic
Playing with the magic
Laying in magic
Taking in the magic
It’s all the same shit on my timeline
It’s all the same shit on my mind
Faces, places that I pine for
Shit I hate I say I’d die for
But we’re through with that shit now
It was never becoming of you, anyhow
We’re on that new shit now
You’re gonna lose it now
You see it all around
Ah, just look
Ah, just look
I’ve seen it all for what it is
I’ve seen it all
Me and you
You can see it too
You can watch it bloom
Walking in the room with your head held high
In colored plumes
Like who am I?
Who am I to you?
Could I make you mine if I wanted to?
Can I see this through?
Can I see this through?
Oh, please, can I see this through?
Can I see it through?
Wading in magic

Breaking Out

So throw another rock at my window, baby
I’m dying to get out of this cell I’ve been committed in
Because I’m not in my right mind
My facility said goodbye
And those who might look after me ain’t got the time
(Ain’t got the time, yeah, the time)
So throw another rock at my window, babe
These bars are old and rusted and with just a little force
Probably easily busted
I thought about you as I went under
I thought about us when we were younger
Asking for your number and making out
It’s the first day of summer and I’m breaking out
I’m breaking out
I’m breaking out
I think about you slipping into time
The image of it is all that’s been on my mind
I think about you on the other side
And I can’t bear it, so
It’s the break of the day and I’m well on my way
I took my pills and I yacked em
Opened my bags and I packed em, we’ll soon away
So what do you say?
To one more blind late night drive-in
To one more kinda high joyride sitting next to you
Down second avenue
One more time I’m on a mission
To one more time let my vision go hot pink with animal instinct
It’s the first day of summer, baby, you’re my missing link
You’re my missing link
Boring myself to pieces
I was boring myself to pieces
You’re my missing link
This whole time
Getting so good at the wrong thing
I’ve been getting so good at the wrong thing
You’re my missing link

Tug of War

You can lay it on me any way you like
Any way you see fit
Any way
And I can’t overstate
How much it is that I can tolerate
Tolerate
Oh, what a sight
That lay before my eyes
God will decide
If you pull me aside tonight
Pull me, pull me aside
Pull me, pull me aside
There’s a tug of war
Between everyone
There’s a tug of war
It could happen to anyone
You might think of me any way you like
Can you say to me what you can’t say?
Cause I can’t exaggerate
How much it is that I can accommodate
Accommodate
Oh, what a sight
That lay before my eyes
God will decide
If you pull me aside tonight
Pull me, pull me aside
Pull me, pull me aside
There’s a tug of war
It could happen to anyone

Lighter Than Air

If I were a city, I’d be on a fault line
Through no fault of mine, just happens by design
It’s the way they planned it
And I can’t stand it
Nor command it in any way to change
If I were a building, I’d be kinda tilting
A flower wilting in the coming of October
I think a strong wind might tip me over
Til you say to me
That we’re going home now
I think we’re alone now
Don’t wanna be a bore
A weight to bear
If I had the know-how
To fix it somehow
I’d be out there on the dance floor
Moving lighter than air
If I were an ocean, I’d be slowly encroaching
Causing commotion on the beaches where you’re laying
You don’t seem to mind it
As you reminded me
That I’m water you wanted to wade in
I think a strong wind might blow me over
Til you step on in
And you say to me
That we’re going home now
I think we’re alone now
There’s nowhere else to be
There’s no-one else there
You might have the know-how
To fix it somehow
I thought I was the sea
But I’m lighter than air
I’m lighter than air
Lighter, lighter
I’m beginning to feel lighter than air
And you’re gonna take it all on
You’re gonna take it all on
