Your kiss stopped all the noise Your hands shook off the boys Your eyes kept all their poise Your face was the only choice Casa es solo Before your eyes A new sunrise Casa es solo sin ti

The passing scenes Seem so serene A safe place to lie A warm place to die How can they be so mean? Can it really be so bleak? Of course, son The world can’t be so mean Of course, son Don’t you ever believe. Close your eyes Faith will bind you to me Despite your eyes Don’t believe what you see A gentle smile A rough goodbye A nascent complaisance A constant displacement A safe place to lie A warm place to die Of course, son The world can’t be so mean Of course, son Don’t you ever believe. Close your eyes Faith will bind you to me Despite your eyes Don’t believe what you see

Wherever you go, There you are. You are. Here I am. I go I eat the core of the newest revelations I make excuses for the smallest indiscretions I steal the candy from the next generation I take the food meant for the poorest nations Stay calm and carry on Don’t mind what is wrong Stay calm and carry on Don’t mind what is wrong Mind your telephone Must have self-control It all comes gift wrapped Don’t you see? Don’t you see it now? It’s in the ignorance that makes all things possible I handicap them, and then I send them on their merry ways I dim the lights before I block their pathways Stay calm and carry on (I call out, I call out, I call out to all and then) Don’t mind what is wrong (I fall out, I fall out, I fall out from all) Stay calm and carry on (I call out, I call out, I call out to all and then) Don’t mind what is wrong (I fall out, I fall out, I fall out from all) Before you know something is wrong Before you know, I’ll have moved on I turned my head and walked away

Forlorn Pose 04:03
It’s ever present in her forlorn pose Forlorn Pose I walked a mile down the alleyways and passageways I took in all the inequalities and effigies They built them so high One must bare one’s self To find one’s self It’s up to us how we will represent our true selves Forlorn Pose
5.
I hope you don’t mind if I do not rise to greet you when you arrive I been thinking, sinking into this cavernous feeling since you've been gone Jump right in, jump right in Take the plunge if you care to Recognize, recognize That the air is real thin too I've got this aching feeling again But my ego prevents me from making amends Jump right in, jump right in Take the plunge if you care to Recognize, recognize That the air is real thin too Someone, somewhere Some price, some place Somewhere to lie Come near the fire Kings and queens will fall But fall shall they Fall shall they all I've got this aching feeling again But my ego prevents me from making amends Jump right in, jump right in Take the plunge if you care to Recognize, recognize That the air is real thin too

Coffins 06:42
Coffins block our way home Crawling up and crawling over I am on my way
