We all have a little tick
a little something that always sticks
and your mouth it moves like clockwork
...since birth
so
countdown days on each finger
our days they are numbered and
outside the mirror ages you
but the face inside it still portrays you now

lose yourself and find it again

if you listen to the wind
you will find yourself within it
and as the night approaches dawn
your mind is here but your bodies gone
so
countdown days on each finger
our days they are numbered and
outside the mirror ages you
but the face inside it still portrays you now

There is a dam inside my head
I'm waiting on a crack for the water to leak
Onto the surface it will seep
Spilling out my mind for the people to see
My life is a vision rated 6/10
We don't dream in colors like kids, we just pretend
I dreamed of a pied piper with a lust for bronze
Even though she can get both silver and gold

No time - so no setting sun
I'll keep on shining while i'm still young
No time - so no setting sun
Down in the valley of my head

I am a fish inside my head
Laying on the ground gasping for breath
You came about and saw me approaching death
You picked me up and tucked me in the river bed
New found life then entered my being
From that moment I swam upstream
I swam to the dam with the cracks running down
From the muddy backwaters I leaped out
The liquid from my mind drenched my skin
Turned me from a creature to a normal man
My personality is a lifestyle rated 9/10
I still dream of her every now and again

No time - so no setting sun
I'll keep on shining while i'm still young
No time - so no setting sun
Down in the valley of my head

Ray was a young man when he got an electric head
Now he walks the streets at night with the living dead
He was lost on an electric line
He doesn't know that luck isn't on his side
Now hes falling and there is nothing he can do
Now Ray is no longer like me and you

Woah! Ray what happened to you?
Woah! Ray this cant be true!
Please Ray listen to my words
Please Ray don't go chasin' birds

Ray was a young man when he got an electric head
Now he walks the streets at night with the living dead
Living in an old house with no smiles or frowns
Making leather belts for himself when he feels down
His victims hang from that ceiling from the belts he made
The same stare they had when they saw his face

My heart was red like an apple
until a worm came and chewed through
now it's a black hole full of rot
with the veins loose - I bleed for you

have i grown since the last time?
a light has shown on the inside
once i dove into the sunshine
cast down dust in the meantime

godspeed, save me
life's a wishing well
so i sleep, safely
collecting falling change
because
my caged, beauty
wants nothing to do with me
so I stay quiet
and dream eternally

is it a phase or a lifestyle
being yourself, do you know how?
what are you doing, where'd ya go now?
escaped down a hole in the ground

well
godspeed, save me
life is a wishing well
so i'll stay, safely
collect the falling change
and
like the dead
i dont eat, i dont speak at all
so i stay quiet
cash in on dreams that fall

people they prosper inside their own lights
and every thought you made used to keep me awake at night
now the silence leads to an eerie calmness inside of this place
that i cant erase

it wasnt too long ago that you said to me
just do what you feel and live your life carefree
i said but, what you do just doesnt bring me any happiness or peace
then i blink
and you're gone
from me

so dont haunt me like you used to do
i cant stand the thought of your spirit right now
and if my lonely mind would multiply not divide
i'd let you stay here and i'd live in fear

until the daylight, comes
until the daylight sun
into the daylight, run
into the daylight, love
getting too near, inside of here
phobic of the sun the moon and the rain
cant contain so i shapeshift

so take what I get and give what I got
I am a man with no future and a man with no plot
feel it in my bones never thought id hear myself say
i'd let you stay here

until the daylight sun
until the daylight comes
into the daylight run
into the daylight love
followed to close behind your ghost unfolding
phobic of the sky the grass and the trees
and i cannot untrain, my spirits

There is a place I want to live
A place called Joy Sea, population: no one
I'd sail on a falling leaf to get there

Yeah I'd wear that cape and crown
Yeah I'd let the sun cast down the golden throne
This new world could be mine to call home

Darkness then begins to set in
When the dawns light casts shadow upon me
My mind was all strung out in the depths
Of Joy Sea

To just wash upon the shores of reality
...again

boundaries protect me from you
boundaries that we cannot see through
locked my lips shut but i cannot see you
but i know we will be ingrained forever

got dressed at sunrise in that same suit and tie
but surely it was nightfall when we locked minds
wrap your mask around me i can feel the warmth and i said
the only thing on my head is that this would make a good
...portrait

I caught the sun with my hand
Kneeled down and put you in
you were lost like the winters wind
that the birds flew south breathe in
you were found in a garden like a gnome
a queen without her throne
now we watch the sinking ships
in the water where the mandolin flows

yes, ive seen a fish swim backwards
up stream from Pompeii
luckily for you and me
we are paperwieghts
theres a cloud oversight
with no water to fall
we were lost in a cyberswamp
where puddles are in debt to the rain

do you can see the strings hang
from the tallest building in sight?
feel these chords I play
and hear these words I say
when theres a leak inside our minds
the walls start to rot
and when the dam gives in to the rain
it's all that we've got left

Wake up wasting most of my life
Pass out I'm waiting on the night time
Can I be?
What you can see ?
Repeat until the days are over
Watching you and me get older
Following
What I think
Wicked ramble ways that I take
You find reality in escape
Is that true ?
Please step through

This ride that you took in your eyes
Put you right back down inside
and now it's all a dream
This ride that you took in your mind
Left you pale and zombiefied
a ghost like me

Whats that out in the distance
A lost tomb on the edge of existance
Desert skies
Down behind
Going to travel until I get there
Not going to stop until I get there
Now behind
The setting sunrise
Opening the front gates
I hope its not too late
To see what has they done to you
To see if what they said is true

This ride that you took in your eyes
Put you right back down inside
and now it's all a dream
This ride that you took in your mind
Left you pale and zombiefied
a ghost like me

I hope that I dont end up like you
Out in the desert with a lost tomb
I hope that I can find my way through
and not end up in a lost tomb

This ride that you took in your eyes
Put you right back down inside
and now it's all a dream
This ride that you took in your mind
Left you pale and zombiefied
a ghost like me

On a day as good as this
I should be roaming wild and free
instead of on this path of lonely
for all eternity

On a day as good as this
I should be hanging with the trees
In my arms you should be wrapped tightly
foreboding ancient memories

Can you smell the spirits in the air?
Can you smell the spirits in the air?
Can you smell the spirits in the air?

And before you realize it'll be another day gone
with no hands of time to hold onto
I'm a chooser not a beggar
On a day as good as this.

Iceberg inside of my heart
winter storm inside myself
clouds pass through my eyes
feel them evaporate in my head

Ive got a numbskull
a numbskull
thats what you said

Playing a game of cards against yourself
the dealer is the joker too
and if the kings the one who wears the crown
then what does that make you?

A Numbskull
Ive got a numbskull
thats what you said

Write in my will "Numbskull"

Anesthesia in my brain
at the bottom of a fishtank
a decoration in the waters from where we used to drink
you stare deep within
see a reflection of your skin
and a numbskull staring back at you with a wide eyed childlike grin
