Another Cup of Coffee
04:30
|
|||
|
My friends say I'm
hard to get to know.
That much is true.
The same things are
unappealing to me.
I like things new.
It just seems that
I'm seeing the same mistakes
over and over again.
Maybe it's just
something I can't see
in them.
CHORUS:
I need another cup of coffee,
another mug of tea.
I listen to you talking,
but do you even hear me?
Is this a friendly conversation
or are you scoring points on me?
I need another cup of coffee,
'tho it will never complete me.
Speak willingly
of my tangled past
just so you know.
I'm aware that
I may be taboo
and a little on the nose.
I plan my days out
but you have to
go with the flow.
Do I sound like
someone you might know?
CHORUS
I can't disguise my disdain
for meeting new people.
It's tedious to get to know you
when you play stupid games.
I drink at my discretion.
I'm such a silly lamb,
but I watch out for
the wolves whenever I can.
CHORUS

Next To Me
03:01
|
|||
|
I hear your voice on the phone
telling me you don't want to be alone.
The pain inside you is worsening
and I can't forget anything.
Our lives wrapped up in emotion.
We do what we have to do,
but right now I get the feeling
that there's only me and you.
CHORUS:
And if I never see the lightning,
or ever feel the rain,
I hope to see you laughing
next to me someday.
Whoah.
I stare at your picture again,
feeling the love buried deep within.
We'll be married soon,
maybe kids of our own.
Dear God, I hope that you're not alone.
Lord, if you promise me their safety,
I swear I'll be the person
you want me to be.
We'll be married soon,
maybe kids of our own.
CHORUS:
And if I never hear the thunder,
I'll never be the same.
I hope to see you with me
by my side someday.
If I never see the lightning,
or ever feel the pain,
I hope to have you by my side...
BRIDGE:
Please don't separate us.
I know they're the one that I need.
For so long I've been alone, and
I want them next to me.
CHORUS:
And if I never hear the thunder,
I'll never be the same.
I hope to see you with me
by my side someday.
If I never see the lightning,
or ever feel the pain,
I hope to have you by my side
next to me someday.

Adrift

I'm thankful
the nightmare is over.
Brought back to status quo
I'm feel-ing
so uncourageous.
Don't have a clue where to go.
I'm so lost
it's been a thousand years
since I've had a compass
to work from.
Need repair.
I'm
adrift in the ocean.
Land is nowhere to be found.
(interlude)
The sun
rises
heavy in the sky.
I might be okay
this time.
Is it the moment to
rip off my bodice?
Set sail to the nearest
galapagos that I can find.
I'm so lost
it's been a thousand years
since I've had a compass
to work from.
Need repair.
I'm
adrift in the ocean.
Land is nowhere to be found.
I find land
and check out my place here...

The Stranger

When I try you on the phone,
you're never there.
Several hours later, feel like
you don't care.
Why the hell do I bother?
Why am I even here?
Do you need me anymore?
Said you would be there for me,
you've disappeared.
Instead of filling me with hope,
I feel despair.
All I get is a text.
No comfort there.
Am I losing my sanity?
CHORUS:
You're a stranger to me now.
I know we've lost the thread somehow.
Empty promises to change
won't help us now.
We'll fall apart like this.
If you choose to stay,
then let me know
by your actions,
not your words that melt like snow.
If we never adapt, we will never grow.
Is this real or artifice?
I thought this was a partnership,
that we were there.
There is only tumbleweeds
trying to see you.
I see the forest and the trees,
but there's not a plume
of compassion anymore.
You like to fuck the evening through,
I cannot fault.
But your lack of interest lies
in the missing thoughts of
you and me together.
We just fought and fought
until it's all a complex chore.
CHORUS

Two-Way Street
04:41
|
|||
|
It used to be that
your kisses were heaven-sent,
now I'm wondering
where the hell the heaven went.
Trying to let you know
that I'm more than willing.
All you do is say, "Hello,
how are you feeling?"
I wonder how you justify
this type of treason?
I'm like a jacket in
the changing of the seasons.
You won't tell me if
I did something wrong.
Sitting here pondering
the lyrics of your song.
CHORUS:
You know that love is
al-ways a two-way street.
If it's just one way
there is no chance for us to meet.
I'm so alarmed by
thickness of divide.
Left to wonder if
you're gonna pick a side.
La la la la, La la la la
La la
La la la la, La la la la
La la
I never know if
I'm coming or I'm going.
Trying to hold the wheel;
it's icy and it's snowing.
Our love's become
a demolition derby.
We take a swipe and
pretend it's not that dirty.
I hit the gas trying to
catch up with you.
You take a one-way street
where I cannot pursue.
What were to happen
if I run out of gas?
Should I even be
bothered with your ass?
CHORUS
Have we come undone?
Are the parts worth less than the sum?
Wonder why I'm wasting my time with you.
We used to be in love.
Could never get enough of.
What happens now is up to you.
CHORUS

I wanted to protect you
from the hell that life can serve.
I gave you my trust.
I gave it my all.
Was this what I deserved?
Thought you loved who I was inside,
not to be taken for a freak.
Now I'm walking on eggshells
for fear of the pain
of not being believed.
CHORUS:
What hope have I
in things that remain unseen?
I cannot pretend
that I am a machine.
Blithely looking where to go
so I can remain me.
Walk a path that most won't go
that leads to the heart of me.
I can't sustain your lifeforce
that's pounding against me.
It's all too much for me to bear,
this permanent disease.
You shrug me off, tell me to leave
as if I was one of your whores.
I grab my shit and my memories
as I walk out of your door.
CHORUS

Emotion
04:52

|
I was only wanting the truth.
Was that too much to ask of you?
You just saw what you wanted to.
Waiting for the crash.
Chorus 1:
I can't feel emotion.
Don't want to be here anymore.
Misunderstandings
push me to the floor.
You will be forgotten
like those others in my past.
This year meant something to me.
You've reduced it into trash.
Do you think that it
justifies the means?
Why did we burst at the seams?
I sit here and question my sanity.
I realize that your
world is not for me
to believe in.
Chorus 1
So terrified of what I'd find.
Wish I could've it paid no mind.
I'm so much better now we're through.
I can't believe that I
wasted my tears missing you.
Chorus 2:
Now I feel emotion.
Don't want to be here all the more.
Misunderstandings
throw me to the floor.
You will be forgotten
like those others in my past.
These years mean much more to me.
Taking back my life at last.
I (repeated)
Chorus 1 & 2

|
When I felt your arms around me,
a chill went down my spine.
I hoped so much you wouldn't stay here with me.
Leave the past far behind.
Yet you manipulate and complicate
every facet of my life.
I cannot comprehend these feelings you send
that glimmer like a sharpened knife.
Chorus:
Don't you understand these words?
The harsh look from these eyes?
You thought you knew
just what to do.
Face reality; you're wrong.
When I heard your words surround me,
I wanted to believe you.
You twist my words and reasons for
your own peace of mind.
You only hear what you want to
You must be as dense as a cold brick wall.
I just can't get away from you.
Chorus:
Can't you comprehend these words?
The gaze I give you from these eyes?
I just want to stay away from you.
Can't you see that you are wrong?
There is a place I know so well,
a darkened corner no one knows.
Light my incense and crawl into bed.
Most days that's how it goes.
I can't sleep. I can't eat.
You are stuck inside my mind.
The phone rings. My brain sings.
Why can't I just be blind?
Chorus:
Can't you comprehend these words?
The gaze I give you from these eyes?
I just want to stay away from you.
Can't you see that you are wrong?
Don't you understand these words?
The harsh look from these eyes?
You thought you knew
just what to do.
Face reality; you're wrong.

The title track was a dusky paean to a scopophiliac’s obsession. Jan Linton’s EBow added feline mystery at the song’s halfway point to show that this band had left synthpop behind them for JAPAN and Roxy Music territory. Where art rock goes places that synthpop cannot venture. Full Review Here: https://postpunkmonk.com/2019/08/07/steven-jones-logan-sky-move-the-goal-further-out-on-rotating-angels-part-1/
