Morning Jitters
05:07
|
|||
|
the morning sun
breaks through my room
it seems so strange to me
to wake up here today
my lovely wife
is fast asleep
i thank god every day
that she's still by my side
but oh, the dream i had last night
it seemed so very real
my blinking lids
behold my son
i hear myself tell him
that everything is alright
but oh, the dream i had last night
it seemed so very real
the wind blew through the trees
the lights surrounded me
and the little ones came

Again Not Again
02:15
|
|||
|
i’ve seen it
floating in space
when I turn to face
the lights
what is it?
flying around
this backwater town
tonight
my mind just can’t believe
what’s happening to you and me
our lives are rearranged
again
why does it?
fall from the sky
when I close my eyes
to sleep
who is it?
behind the scenes
each time that I dream
of them
my mind just can’t believe
what’s happening to you and me
our lives are rearranged
again
i just can’t explain
all the things that I feel
in the morning
i feel so ashamed
and it seems so unreal
in the morning
i hope and I pray
that these things that I feel
in the morning
would all go away now…

Cut Me Open
02:00
|
|||
|
i'm paralyzed
from my neck down
my eyes are staring
at the ceiling
i here the 9
knocks just before
touch of a hand
brings back the feeling
what do they see
when they looking inside my head again
what do they need
when they cut me open again
her almond eyes
discourage me
from ever thinking
what i'm feeling
she shows the way
she keeps me still
it's so easy
to erase me
what do they see
when they looking inside my head again
what do they need
when they cut me open again
cut me open again

Chrome
04:34
|
|||
|
a heart cased in foam
packed up in the chrome
the red herring trail that we follow
the stale air we breath
while we slowly freeze
the sifting of sand time to swallow
it’s been light years
still no signs of home
can’t seem to feel dear
packed up in the chrome
one last drift alone
by old creaking bones
we’ve used up the last minute borrowed
a wink out of space
your age wrinkled face
look back on today’s gone tomorrow
It’s been light years
Still no signs of home
Can’t seem to feel dear
Packed up in the chrome
It’s your turn to steer
Drifting though the zones
Gonna put myself to sleep
Packed up in the chrome
A dark hole awaits
Outside of the gates
An endlessly long life repeating
Two halves nearly done
Escaping the sun
One long night remains sleepless dreaming
It’s been light years
Still no signs of home
Can’t seem to feel dear
Packed up in the chrome
It’s your turn to steer
Drifting through the zones
Gonna put myself to sleep
Packed up in the chrome

Millennium Man
05:46
|
|||
|
i’m standing here quite certain
that the millions in Times Square
will all be turned to ashes
by my suitcase bomb
i made it past the checkpoint
no one else can steal my fate
they could send the dogs out
but there’s no time
and the devil may care
i’m the millenium man
i’ll meet you on a plane that’s crashing down
i’ll meet you in a biohazard town
i’ll meet you on the road to nowhere
as the sun sets slowly on a thousand years
i smile kind of sweetly
as the poison gas inhales
the lighted billboards swirl
falling to the street
the ground is wet and warm
with the blood leaking from me
my body starts to shiver
uncontrollably
and the devil may care
i’m the millenium man
i’ll meet you on a plane that’s crashing down
i’ll meet you in a biohazard town
i’ll meet you on the road to nowhere
as the sun sets slowly on a thousand years

The Messenger
04:07
|
|||
|
projected pictures of a world
with nothing left for me
my wife
my son
i didn’t ask to know my fate
is it too late for me
my wife
my son
please don’t assume that I’m insane
to say it all could end today
i’m just the messenger, believe me my friend
i don’t know why they’ve chosen me
to share their history
with you
with you
if what they’ve shown should come to pass
then everyone of us
is dead
again
please don’t assume that I’m insane
to say it all could end today
i’m just the messenger, believe me my friend
so what
you say
if I decay
must we go through this all once more
we’ve got so little time
for this
my friend
the fate of the world is on my head
that ticking clock will
drive me mad
again
please don’t assume that I’m insane
to say it all could end today
i’m just the messenger, believe me my friend

Asylum
07:46
|
|||
|
look at me here
my head in my hands
repeating a line
from a film
they’re taking notes
from behind the mirror
they don’t think I know
that they’re there
these clothes aren’t mine
this room isn’t mine
but the eyes in the mirror aren’t sure
look at the ant
alone on the floor
the men in the mirror
cannot see
i’d swap with it
if only I could
to stop them from staring
at me
these clothes aren’t mine
this room isn’t mine
but the eyes in the mirror aren’t sure
these clothes aren’t mine
this room isn’t mine
these eyes aren’t mine

The Future
02:47
|
|||
|
i’ve seen the future, it’s straight ahead
i’ve seen the future, it’s straight ahead
i’ve seen the future, it’s straight ahead
i’ve seen the future, it’s straight ahead
i’ve seen the future, it’s inside my head
i’ve seen the future, it’s inside my head
i’ve seen the future, it’s inside my head
i’ve seen the future, it’s inside my head
i’ve seen the future, it’s over my head
i’ve seen the future, it’s over my head
i’ve seen the future, it’s over my head
i’ve seen the future, it’s over my head

The Only One
09:00
|
|||
|
standing still
brittle will
closely bound
rooted ground
beating heart
bit-cast part
freezing cold
truth untold
i am the only one
crossroad sign
razor fine
early hour
watching tower
morning frost
logic lost
potent cure
tempting lure
i am the only one
i am the new day that’s dawning
i am…yesterday’s longing
i am a filled page turned over
i am…yesterday’s lover
i am the bright burning sun
i am…yesterday’s lost ones
i am the grip of a newborn
I am…yesterday’s outworn
i am the only one

David Miller Weintraub Brooklyn, New York
Listening to a great guitar solo should be like watching a tightrope walker juggle on a high wire...equal parts shocking,
gut-wrenching, inspiring, daring, and grandiose.
And there should be a sense that the guitar player could die at any moment...
