"I Call This Love"

So now my pen is palpitant

A short car ride with a prime candidate

For love, or lack thereof

Our ventricles, like hand in glove

Hailing from the nimbus now

I summon the clouds somehow

A preternatural bond between

Two imposingly normal human beings



Forget me not

I’ve given everything I’ve got, as well as too much thought

Tie around, your finger

The string that we had wound

I swear I’ll be around

I’ll be around



It gets hard to concentrate

When hearts pair up and then they break

That’s the biggest understatement

I could have said, for us to relate and

I wish we didn’t have to set it straight

I hate how we decided fate



Forget me not

I’ve given everything I’ve got, as well as too much thought

Tie around, your finger

The string that we had wound

I swear I’ll be around

I’ll be around



Oh, lover!

I want to pull my head out from under

This grey cloud cover!

And spend the rest of my days in slumber

With no other…than you



Forget me not

I’ve given everything I’ve got, as well as too much thought

Tie around, your finger

The string that we had wound

I swear I’ll be around

I’ll be around



"Sticks and Stones Pt. I"

I was a boy

I was young, stuck in a rut

Words spouted out

From the youth, like waste from the slums

I was fine, this whole time

Until I was shouting their terms

And standing in their lines

I was gone, said goodbye,

to my mind

and my life



"Trapped In Amber"



The story of today is one

That the people in the cities underground have sung

The birds are basking in the mourning sun

Yeah



A feeble disposition and no more

Ships capsize in the channel

Captains watch them from ashore

A gull has lost its’ way back to the nest

Good times were different in the west



Holes in my body

Holes in my body

Holes in my body

That’s what they wanted

Holes in everybody

Holes in my body

Holes in our bodies

Shot down in the snow



I’ll expire if we stay here another minute, oh

A town on fire, and doused by snow



One soldier all dressed in black

Having a drunken hero’s picnic all by himself

Atop a tank, lobbing hand grenades.

Yeah



And like I’ve said before

We’re insects trapped in amber

Time means nothing in the war

A place like nothing we could have ever guessed

Good times were different in the west



You don’t believe me

When I say that there’s a fourth dimension?

Well you're not paying attention…



"Price Tags"



Anything can be mislead.

Anything can be seen red.

Anyone disappointed?

Oh well.



Dressed up in tiger skin now,

Stumbling through West Berlin now.

Well, aren’t you sharp as a pin, now?



Hello, every secret connection shows;

Every false resurrection seen as change of direction, I know.

Yeah, it keeps me ranting on.



Hello, every wolf in sheep’s clothing knows

Other-worldly injections are known to make your blood go cold.

Yeah it keeps me ranting on.



Roll and you might get snake eyes,

Don’t you dare roll your own eyes.

Fed up with distaste and goodbyes.



Secondhand is the worst, man.

Third-party never wins, how sad.

Fourth generation fails to understand.



Every plan has its game and

Every thread has its price tag.

Won’t you pull mine and discount me.

Yeah, mark me down.



Every decision's got a tag, so mark me down.

Society will pay the price, so mark me down, now.
