Civilize/The Bleeding
Fantasize, Visualize, Civilize
Romanticize, Idealize
Let me walk you down the hall
Where the echo cracks the wall
Out in the garden a flower in bloom
Its fragrance bleeds into my room
Fantasize, Visualize, Civilize
Romanticize, Idealize
Hello my brother, how do you do
Can I taste a little from your bowl of stew
I’ll sign my life away to you
Have you got mercy, ooh my friend
Take me to my rainbow’s bitter end
All the papers have to say is truth at best
Do you have time
‘Cause time says they never stay on top
From the mighty cliff they drop
Will the bleeding ever stop
When did the fire cross the wall
Into the pit of conscience now I fall
Hand me down a ladder so I can crawl
Back into you
Gotta climb a tree, ain’t tall, ain’t proud
To get a clearer view in the thick of the crowd
These eyes they point at me and say it loud
They say it loud
And time says they never stay on top
From the mighty cliff they drop
Will the bleeding ever stop
And rain, yes a little rain must fall
For the tree to bear it all
But in the night the voices call
Hear them calling loud as thunder
From six feet under
It’s fire against the ice on through the night
On through the night
And time says they never stay on top
From the mighty cliff they drop
Will the bleeding ever
Stop
Primetime Calling
Hear the wise man calling
Hear him speak like he knows
As you stand your feet on the ground
A stream of water flows
Every day is a brand new day
And you wake up strong
In your mind you can’t be wrong
It’s so strange, this feeling
When heavy eyes are hard to close
You watch the night unfolding
This weakness starts to boast
Every day is a brand new day
And you wake up strong
In your mind you can’t be wrong
Every day is a brand new day
And you swear it’s true
And you hear primetime calling you
Will you be where I’m going
Will you be there today
When rivers begin to dry
Would you find another way
Every day is a brand new day
And you wake up strong
In your mind you can’t be wrong
Every day is a brand new day
And you swear it’s true
And you hear primetime calling you
Talking Walls
So, you gettin’ wasted
And you hide your secret bottle
Hey, come tomorrow
Who’s gonna spill it all out
Spill it all out
Spill it all out for you
My, my, my
I read it in the papers
Heard it in the news today
My, my, my
You fed your little children
The talking walls of yesterday
Wait, where you goin’
There’s powder in your nose
Hey, there’s the bathroom
But who’s gonna flush it all out
Flush it all out
Flush it all out for you
My, my, my
I read it in the papers
Heard it in the news today
My, my, my
You fed your little children
The talking walls of yesterday
Please come inside
We’ve all been waitin’ for you
Don’t be afraid
We won’t hurt you, no, besides
Who’s gonna bring you
Who’s gonna bring you back
My, my, my
I read it in the papers
Heard it in the news today
My, my, my
You fed your little children
The talking walls of yesterday
My, my, my
I bled into your conscience
You wiped it clean and ran away
My, my, my
You fed your little children
The talking walls of yesterday
