Stormy Skies

In Between [Bonus Disc]

I'm not afraid to dive
Into your stormy skies
Your beauty mystifies
And speaks in semaphore

I hang on every word
Your eyes like restless birds
Could

and coverlets
Conscripted for the shovel brigade
Slugged it out in the trenches, content just to hold the line
We march, from the mountain to the marsh
From

commonplace
Some shapeless lines led me astray

And her lips with the semaphores
The likes we've never seen before
No
And she says that she knows me well
But

the sidelines
As far as I could see, the flags were all for me
I never saw the outline of your semaphore signal...no
No

I had other ideas, but I forget them all

all the weight be mine
When it's pouring out your brain?
I'm anchored to your mood and your thoughts
All the slack is out the line
The sails were neatly

I don't really have that much to say
And it's said in no particular way
Insert the third line right here
Put something that rhymes with the third line

And send me through the clouds
Let it be a sky burial
Tie me down and
Leave me to the crows
Let them carry me home

A tale told in semaphore 
You've heard

question about semaphore in red.
Where does he walk?
What does he hope to find?
Not have a chance to understand
How’s he part of crime,
Probably till death.

or straight lines
But there were concrete highways
In the shape of occult signs

Psycho, psycho... psychotronic world
Psychotronic dream

And I saw a cabin

Another signal intercept
Decoding isn't hard except
Is the message only in my mind
Request to have the text re-said
Static and the line goes dead

Yesterday, came a shadow
Yellow postcard
Out of sight, burning red
Semaphore, in a vacuum
Ending twilight
One on one, silent never more

Full steam

type is
Clacking on a keyboard, writing metaphors
Speaking similes for something
Like a semaphore
Allowing myself to be seen, know what I mean?
Or do you

All the semaphores
Turn, stop and go
Melancholic eyes
Flooding in July

City’s squares and lines
Time is passing by
Stay and say hello
Inhale

WASHED AWAY, WASHED AWAY
OH…………….. WASHED AWAY, AWAY

NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN
NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN

RUNNING ON THE LINES
THEY’RE LIKE GHOSTS
IGNORE

This is the ouija
This is the semaphore
This is the message to you from me
These are the teeth-marks found on the fibula
This is the cry of defeat

Shortcut to Somewhere

cut easy way through

It's no Easy Rider ain't no Midnight Cowboy
Took his place at the starting line
'cause he left you behind with his reputation
