Living Through Pictures

I like to look
At the pictures that you took
Of wooden bridges
And metal structures
And the green green leaves
A brass buckle on your sleeve
And the waves mid-break
All those pictures that you take
And if I may go
A little deeper
I wanna see
Just what you see girl
And I wanna know
What the phone won't tell
And to receive
An image that you felt
Show me show me
How its done
How all this living is done
Tell me tell me
How we can be
So far away and still be one
Show me show me how its done
Tell me tell me what you want
I like to look
At the pictures that you took
On a trip to NYC
Well I know you were thinkin' a me
And you will lookin' fine
The beauty of design
On a summer break
All those pictures that you take
And if I may go
A little deeper
I wanna know
Just what you see
Show me show me
How its done
How all this living gets done
Tell me tell me
How we can be
So far away and still be one

Greatest Minds
04:11

Unknowable truths
are looming in the future
like spirits in observatory halls
Unthinkable truths
are looming in the future
like spirits in the hall
When we let them in
Through the door and then we begin
To reveal what once was unseen
The greatest minds
Well their work will shine a light
Yeah there's people out there and some day they're gonna get it right
And on the day of the dead
Three skeletons painted red
And the paint drips off, by the heat of the fire
Well I was hiding behind the tree alone
Watching the skeletons dancing
In a stop-motion technique
Like puppets with out strings
And the fire shined so brightly
Like a mirror on the wall
And I was hoping they didn't see me
But I was already invited
Open up the windows
In our souls and in our minds
And in the genius of our species
Surely there must be a means to
Our survival
The greatest minds
Well their work will shine a light
Yeah, there's people out there
someday they're gonna get it right

Trouble Makes Three

You and me and trouble makes three
We say "Uh-oh"
You and me and trouble makes three
We say "Uh-oh"
You get so mad about the way you feel
You're gonna need a friend
You get so mad about the way you feel
I wanna talk to you
Now we've been friends for such a long time
Yeah we've been friends for such a long time
I wanna talk to you
Now tell me everything
'Cause there's a pain we share
And we have all the time we need
Now do you wanna talk to me?

Epic Fail

Break me down
Break me down
Have I lost my cool?
Just lay me down
On the subdivide
Have I lost my cool?
How can you hold me down
When I don't even know when I'll see you?
So just lay me down
Cause I don't even know when I'll see you
For every love song
There's a B-side
Unfold what was felt
Just like every
Utopian fantasy
Like gold, must melt
Well I wish that I could be
Some kind of love warrior
But now I know, I'm not that strong
Now I'm just a soldier
I'm a soldier
