The Glass Passenger (2008)  

I'll give you this confession
I am taking you with me
Where we can contemplate our chemistry

And your eyes were lined with questions
With the blood rushing to waste
To take this feeling with us to our graves
To our graves

I get the feeling we're so misdirected
I get the feeling we have lost control
Til then I'll turn you to the new religion
We're dropping out into the so unknown
So unknown, yeah.

And we won't wake up on Sunday
So I'm building us a church
Where we can sleep in
With the gods at work

And our friends will write us letters
They'll never understand why we don't call
We're hiding out until the empire falls
Let it fall.

I get the feeling we're so misdirected
I get the feeling we have lost control
Til then I'll turn you to the new religion
We're dropping out into the so unknown

If we have lost control,
We're drifting slow
Into the so unknown

If we have lost control,
We're drifting slow
So we drop out

And I'll give you this confession,
I am taking you with me.

I get the feeling we're so misdirected
I get the feeling we have lost control
Til then I'll turn you to the new religion
We're dropping out into the so unknown

I get the feeling we got disconnected
I get the feeling we have lost control
Til then I'll turn you to the new religion
We're dropping out into the so unknown

You're so unknown, yeah.
We're so unknown.
The so unknown, yeah.

The Glass Passenger (2008)  

There's a lot that I don't know
There's a lot that I'm still learning
But I think I'm letting go
To find my body is still burning
And you hold me down
And you got me living in the past
Come on and pick me up
Somebody clear the wreckage from the blast

And I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution

And the bars are finally closed
So I try living in the moment
'Til the moment it just froze
And I felt sick and so alone
I can hear the sound
Of your voice still ringing in my ear
I'm going underground
But you'll find me anywhere I feel

That I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution

Tomorrow back from now.
Honey I'm almost home

You hold me down
You hold me down
I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness

I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution
I need light, I need light

I wanna hear some music
Now that they're driving us all underground
Not the radio music, or their satellite singing this
In this town, in this town

I wanna hear some music
And with the rock stars all flicker and fade
Power radio music, I'm a ghost overground
On, on parade

And even if your voice comes back again
Maybe they'll be no one listening
And even if I find the strength to stand
Doesn't mean I won't go missing
And the world will come
Crashing

I wanna hear some music
I have been waiting down here for so long
Trying to write this big music,
With your breath on my face
But now, now you're gone

And even if your voice comes back again
Maybe they'll be no one listening
And even if I find the strength to stand
Doesn't mean I won't go missing
And the world will come,
Crashing

And the whole world comes
Down, down-wards
And all the water on this broken town
The freeway's just like veins without a heart

And the world just comes
Crashing

And the whole world comes
Crashing

And even if your voice comes back again
Maybe they'll be no one listening
And even if I find the strength to stand
Doesn't mean I won't go on

And even if your voice comes back again
Maybe they'll be no one listening
And even if you find the strength to stand
It doesn't mean you won't go missing

And the world will come
Crashing

And the words will come
Crashing

And the music comes
Crashing

Down on me
Down on me

And the words will come
Crashing

And the words will come
Crashing

Down on me
So down on me...

The Glass Passenger (2008)  

She walks to the mailbox each morning at nine
Every day she begins she's always one day behind
At least when it comes to the mail

She sits on the balcony paying the bills
Her letters just hashing her cigarettes onto the sill
Every breath a little more pale

And the hill's still left to climb
It's just so

High
And I'm so
Tired
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on
Fire
It's just so
High
And I'm so
Tired
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on

Sits in his basement from midnight 'til four
Painting pictures that nobody sees from his days in the war
The canvas is painted bright red, red
He heats up the shower, he paces the hall
He'll scrub for an hour or more but he won't get it all
The paint in his fingernail beds

The hill's still left to climb
It's just so

High
And I'm so
Tired
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on
Fire
It's just so
High
And I'm so
Tired
Come on look up at the bloodshot sky
The clouds are all on
Fire
The clouds are all on
Fire
The clouds are all on

We wait in valleys whiles the clouds come in
We see no shadows, 'cause the shadow's all there is
And we climb,
And we climb

But it's just so
High
And I'm so
Tired
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on
Fire
It's just so
High
And I'm so
Tired
Come on look up at the bloodshot sky
The clouds are all on
Fire
The clouds are all on
Fire
The clouds are all on
The clouds are all on
Fire
The clouds are all on
Fire

"Bloodshot" Live Croc Rock, Allentown PA, August 19th, 2008

Baby, take it off
Checkered thighs on a pretty pawn
This vicious velvet ain't anough
So baby, make a move
My neon eyes are set on you
The devil's language taste of lust

Real Life (2006)

Welcome to the real life
Welcome to the real life
I've come to realise it's no game
No one is the same
There's so much more to life than meets the eye

"Real Life" Live from their Auckland show 30/6/7
 

Real Life (2006)

too many words
too many lies
i cant quite see the truth
when i look into your eyes

"Running" M/V
 

Real Life (2006)

You're a shooting star
that is what you are
you broke into my world
but didn't get far
Cos we're looking for connection
a feeling of protection
and from where I stand
my only chance is you

"Unbreakable" M/V
 

Real Life (2006)

Running around this town
Looking for something
That I know I'll never find
Running out of breath
I gotta learn to see things
In a different light

When the light turns dark
And I can't find my way
When I'm falling down
Will you take my hand, tonight?

Show me the right way
Show me the right way to go
Show me the right way to go and
I'll meet you there
My guiding light

Back on my feet again
Where you're taking me
Is still a mystery
I'm never looking back
'Cos what I left was only
Gonna drag me down

When the day turns night
And I start to loose my grip
When I'm on my knees
Will you take my hand, tonight?

Show me the right way
Show me the right way to go
Show me the right way to go and
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there

Show me the right way
Don't leave me here on my own
Deserts and highways have left me
With nowhere to go

Show me the right way
Show me the right way to go
Show me the right way to go and
I'll meet you
Show me the right way to go and
I'll meet you there
My guiding light

Real Life (2006)

Shadows fall, and the darkness of night decends
Concrete walls bring the road to an end

I don't know which way leads me to you
Every step that i take
Brings your light into view

Real Life (2006)

Empty bottle cap
Lies on the counter top
It's warm but the rain won't stop
I haven't been home for days

Dreams (2004)

I left home today feeling alright, I never knew
I left home today feeling okay, I never knew
Like beauty in the dust, my position
Like youthfulness intense, burnt down to rust

America Town (2000)

You were wrong
You were right
You are gone
Tonight
You were free
So alive
You were wrong
You were right
You were down
You could see
You wore hearts for me
You were sharp
Sharp as knives
You were wrong
You were right

America Town (2000)

I know I should be happy in your land
It’s not all that wild to me
Not that I want to be any other where
I know it’s hell out there

Message for Albert (1997)

I sing above my vision. I sing above my face.
A fat old amphibian speaker for the dead.
Gather round ye animals. Gather round this lake.
Take upon your vigil. Wallow in the wake.

Due the shine that toad had born.

While riding back an eagle, laughing with the sun
He spied an old hairy fairy man upon the river Young.
and Sol said, fly away fly away if you can
But he settled next the oarsman, said I'm my own man and this is my life...

Heed above my meter, Heed above my fate. Can't go back again...
I got a reason to be fevered-summer waking morn.
Back back when the poor poor boy was born.

Now cross into his fortune. While enchanted by the queen.
A lone shady shelter stood beckoning his lean.
And in the time it takes a pillow to figure out a face.
Out from in the white tree she rose to take its place.

And the battle for his spirit then caused him to remain.
And he fought as a thousand Visigoths and he cursed the night in vain.
She said run away run away if you can
But last he heard a voice of...I'm my own man and this is my life...

Off to in her castle, laid upon the stairs
She showered him with daffodils and tied ribbons in his hair.
He woke for bare a moment but she wouldn't let him weep.
With lips of only roses kissed him down to sleep.

So royal loyal subjects now let your ears unbend.
For here ye this traveled tail must sadly meet it's end.
What's fate done to our hero I cannot reply...
The last that I saw him, a flection in her eye.

Never Going Back To OK (2008)   

Wake up and smile
Put on a tie
Walk to the car
And wave goodbye
Radio on
You're singing along
It's all gonna change but how could you know

Never Going Back To OK (2008)   

Now is the time we have
Take it, never give it back
Say what you mean to say
This could be your only chance

Everybody's watching out
For someone who can show them how
To be what they wanna be and
Stand never backing down

Never Going Back To OK (2008)   

I came into this world to find a reason to live
I came with nothing to give
Nothing I could offer, nothing I could ever do
