Sail On, Brave Captain, Be Immortal
Lyrics by: Chris
(This song is dedicated to the memory of Captain Ghouly Catfish)
Poseidon cries out from the mountainous incoming tide
now all other problems in your life are momentarily laid aside
Captain, oh, Captain, ready the sails and go hard to starboard
Let your doubt abandon ship, let your fear go overboard
Because the ocean is yours, go out and tame it
Your immortality is there, reach out and take it
Captain, oh, Captain, sail on into the inky star-soaked sky
Your ship will navigate forever
in our hearts you will never die
Your sails may shred, your mast may split
but your fate is what you make of it
So cut the anchors loose
spin the wheel to the North
Point the stern towards the sky
Sail on forever, brave Captain Catfish
Inside our minds, you can never die
Sail on
Sail on
Sail on

ROBOT RUMPUS
Lyrics by:Chris
Someplace out on the Alkaline Flats
the Robot sheds his motor-oil tears
No one is around to see him breakdown
and flail his gears
Picked her up at a half past ten
the air was bitter cold
she asked me "Will we ever be happy again?"
I said "I guess we're just getting old."
And I don't want to worry about getting a life
I don't want to think about the years to come
January days cut me like a knife
When the Robot comes I know that I should run
And under black skies and cold dead stars
the Robot screams out "Who am I?!"
No amount of bandages could hide these scars
What's the point of living when some day you're
going to die?
And somewhere out on white sands
The robot curses the world
As his metal limbs twirl and twirl
Found myself drowning in the eyes
of a constantly weeping girl
Goodbye Robot
Goodbye Robot
Goodbye Robot
You're made of metal |
TOO TIRED TO COUNT THE SLEEPING SUNS
Lyrics by: Chris
Sarah, I saw you on South Street
Roses came up
Wherever you'd tread your feet
I didn't dare approach you
because I haven’t changed
and in my case that's horrible
but I'm so glad you stayed the same
Sarah
(SARAH)
Sarah
(SARAH)
You are still the star of my dreams
And I just have a walk on part
(SARAH)
Remember when we drove down to Cape May
watched the sun drop into the sea
I breathed in the scent of your hair
and no one else exsisted but you and me
Sarah (SARAH)
Sarah
you populate my memories
Everything else gets pushed aside
There's no room for anything but you
Inside of my mind
But now you're just a recollection
Something I focus on during sleepless nights
Now I know us being together is wrong
But God, it felt so right
Now all I have left of you is a few hundred photos
and some books you left in my room
and the ghost of your love for me
all lit up by a white divided moon
Sarah (SARAH), I saw you on South Street
Roses came up
Wherever you'd tread your feet
I didn't dare approach you
because I haven't changed
and in my case that's horrible
but I'm so happy you stayed the same |
STATE OF EMERGENCY
Lyrics by:Chris
The winter never seemed to last this long
before
We watch the ice fragments wash upon the
shore
I don't know if I can stick around here
any more
God damn this town
How did I get here
Why am I still here
This cold won't go away
And the sunlight doesn't want to stay
The days are slowing down
All these faces
gazing down at me
dark little secrets
told in a house by the sea
The snow had imprisoned us in side our homes
The world did not make a sound
Even if we weren't trapped we'd have no where to go
Don't let me die in this town
Why did you have to make it so hard for me to leave
I'm drowning in the pools of your eyes
I didn't want to stay but now I have no choice
I failed before I even had a chance to try
How did we get here
How did we get here
How did we get here
And why can't we leave

APATHY (a song in four chapters)
Lyrics by:Chris
Chapter 1.
six feet to the door
there's a house on a hill
and there's no one inside
but I can still
hear somebody cry
and I'm not really sure
why I'm still alive
there's a house on a hill
and there's no one inside
Chapter 2.
my base behavior
your eyes still hold all that pain
your parents still believe the bullshit story you told
your tears still bring on the rain
you were sixteen going on 100 years old
and though I know I'm to blame
I'll pawn it all off on you
and I always wanted things to change
but I'm unhappy when they do
and the now dead life that you held inside
doesn't even have a grave
and you break down and cry out in public
and I say "please excuse the way she behaves"
Chapter 3.
six feet of rope
the rain falls softly down your cheeks
creating tears you can not cry
you've been swaying for six weeks
no note left to tell your family why
a hole in the roof lets in the rain
and though i know the truth
I won't say a word again
Chapter 4.
i hear you're still here
i'm in your house on this hill and there's no one else inside
so please tell me why i can still hear you cry
and why did you go and leave me alive
there's a house on a hill and no one's inside |
MESSIAH
Lyrics by: Chris
the church out by the highway
is reflected in the moonlight
and it just reminds me
of things I do not grasp
I used to be so complacent
with my unimportance
I could manage to drift through
Without everything seeming like an impossible task
I don't want to be just another complaining voice
bitching about my oh so tragic life
I could be so much worse off, I know
but the days drag on so much longer
and the nights remain wakefull
and I end up the same place wherever I go
Cut me open
bleed me dry
I want to die for you
I'll be your messiah
if you'll do me a favor
and nail me to this cross
No one will notice much
it wont be a great loss
I can't walk on water, I can't raise the dead
I can't make blind men see
There's nothing usefull I can do
But when the time comes
To wear your crown of thorns
I can die for you
When's this gonna stop
When is it all gonna open up
and be clear again
when will the blood run dry
when is this going to end |
I WON'T EVER WAKE UP NEXT TO YOU AGAIN
Lyrics by:Chris
There's a candle in her window
And I wanna blow it out
I've failed at everything again
Was there ever any doubt
But this is the last night
I'll let her scream at me
This is the last time
I'll listen to her cry
I see her walk by
dressed up as a silhouette
She moves with such fluidity
I am taken by suprise
All the times she made me promises
I knew they were just beautiful lies
But I belived them anyway
But this is the last night
I'll let her scream at me
This is the last time
I'll listen to her cry |
TERMINAL
Lyrics by: Chris
You broke down in the summer
crying over the days you forgot
and crying over what you're gonna miss
your tears were cold, the air was hot
And you ran into the ocean
with all of your clothes on
and you laughed and screamed at the moon
forgot for a minute that by September you'd be gone
I stay up until morning drinking Tequilla
sitting on the hood of my car
watch the sun come up over the city
I can still see the faint outlines of stars
And I don't accept that you're leaving
because you're not even close to being done
we're both gonna live forever
we're both gonna bathe in that warm sun
And I drove you down to Cape May
and we kissed so long on a balcony
and I gazed into your sad-soaked eyes
they reflected the entire sea
And we're both gonna live forever
even if it's just inside of memories
cuz you're immortal inside my thoughts
you’re constantly brightening my dull dreams
you're gonna live forever
you're gonna live forever
you're gonna live forever
