Tomb
04:18
|
|||
Been searching for someone of my own kind
Played it back and forth
Prefer to rewind
You've been living your life from the outside
Like a stranger inside of your own mind
Both been on the rise and fall
Buried in a tomb and lost
Like past visions of Osiris
Now
I walked into your life at the wrong time
Never quite been perceptive of real life
It was not your fault or a fault of mine
But it's hard to let you go this time
You were on my lap
I felt your heartbeat
As you pressed your chest hard against me
It was not of this world or of a dream
For the first time someone else loved me

All To The Wind
02:52
|

When the light revealed the dream
Opened the door
hoping to lean
And I gave my own life
And I gave it all to the wind
All for love
Gave that a try
Head on the floor
Most of the time
And I gave my own life
And I gave it all to the wind
Love
Loving is a new part of
And up until today I seemed to get away
I can see the stars above
Swirling around to say
Out went the light
As I leapt through the door
And I followed it home
And I did know why
I did know why
All the nights I'd been afraid
Living life just to fade away
But all the light laying in your eyes
Left me stunned in a pale surprise
Woke up within that morning just to turn back time
And get back in line
Her old man's driving the whip
Too much to bear
Rolled up a spliff
And I gave my own life
And I gave it all to the wind
Quite the type to treat you unkind
And take all your love
Most of the time
And I gave my own life
And I gave it all to the wind

I don't have a car
To drive around in
I just have a heart
That I walk about In
I walk around
If I could I'd buy
You a house in laurel canyon
Underneath the moon above
In the shade of the mountain
I walk around
Life's been hard and you've lived a few
Did I give too much love to you
I'm sorry but it's what I had to do
You needed love
I needed you
So I walk around
Back in my hometown
Looking for a silver Honda
But there's too many all around
And I fear I'll never find you
Hoping that one day
I'll see you driving up my street again
On your grandpa's bicycle
With your long hair blowing in the wind
And we'll walk around

I Could Be Wrong
04:09
|
|||
All the light came on my way
From a once familiar face
Thought the love was here to stay
I could be wrong if I think I'll forget about you
Have you come to pacify
Let the haze enclose your mind
Just the way you pass the time
All the visions came in from the east and from the north
Future is the past and it's still knocking at your door
I could see you now
I saw my friend
She called my name
Or you propose the question to the history of refrain
Do you miss the time at all
Had a thought leave
as I fall
To make eyes
and close the door

Tide
05:15
|
|||
Privy to a love that won't love back
All on the rising tide back home
All the lies my old man told
All the life left to live past
Heard an angel call my name at last
Heavy ocean came and pulled you down
Journey to the end has come at last
All on the rising tide back home
All the lies my old man told
All the life left to live past
Thought I found love
In Montecalvo in the daytime
Found her but she had another ex-lover on the side
Like a brunette blissed-out Alice in the moonlight
Living off MDMA and cocaine to survive

Kaitlin

Mother left you in the night
My father faded into the same light
Now we're both hoping to find someone
I hope you hear this song
And you leave your old boyfriend
Come back where you belong
In my arms
Kaitlin
All of the days and the nights
You and I and a dream in Ojai
Filling up both of our lives
with love
Sometimes you're like the wind
Like my mother sang in 1987
Now your life's sure to begin
All comes back to you
Wonder if you'll chose
Anyone to love
Now you're gone again
I gave all that I had to give
But I lost my friend
Just before the holiday
Unable to learn my own name
Or blow the wind away
What would you say
|

Time keeps on coming
I've been all around
I'll keep on running
Till time catches on
I've been on the run
Now you're back in your hideout
Never gave it all for free
Everyone was talking to ya
To ya
Time keeps on learning
About you and me
I'll keep on loving
Someday she'll love me
I'll love you for free
Now your heart has been broken
And you're miles off away
Now you can't find the right words to say
Once uphill you'll be fine
But your love's lost down the line
Hate to say I was wrong
Came into this life on my own
And I'll try
Yes I'll try
Hope for love
Turn out the light
And I gave my own life
My own life
My own life
He'll treat you unkindly
If that's what you want
But you'll stay inside me
Inside of my heart
Unbound at the start
|

All the love in your life
Is on my wall
And I felt that I
Couldn't fall
To be not with you still
When you're gone and I can't protect you
Though it's been a while
Tell me where that I should roam
Find a simple life
Somewhere far away from home
All the love in your life
Didn't last too long
And it broke my heart
To watch you fall
Oh baby you tried

Wanderer

Wanderer
Just like a song
That's been rubbed out above your left arm
Full of light
Eager eyes
For the adventure of a lifetime
She's on the run
Who you running from?
It can't be me cause I'm no one
Turtle dove
Carried my love
And left it on the moon to shine
I'll try
My best to find some peace of mind
But the light fades to black
And you don't know where the exit is at
Wanderer
Labyrinthine fern
Planted in your dilated mind
Evil talk
Heaven above
Protect her in her darkest night

A Good Man's Light
04:26
|
|||
Not once
But twice
Walked into my life
And left
To find what you want
Back with
Your man
Who dresses up like John Lennon
And sings in
A Beatles cover band
He's drunk
You're too
He'll pull back
And hurt you
Fears just like a nightmare
To me
All the conti's far down the line
Have let in abuse of all kinds
Feels familiar and justifies
A sad urge to sabotage your own life
Now you think you're living it right
But you're not when you blow out a good man's light
You're a
Liar
On sale
For hire
But we know you work for free
Selfish
So true
Feel like I don't know you
And I never knew myself
I still
Love you
And I'd do anything to
Help you
Feel more at ease
To my own detriment
In codependent affluence
Comfortable
Living in a dream

Bird Has Flown
03:22
|
|||
If I was my father's son
Then I'd have to guess
That I'd be the only one
But he fell out years ago
Set off on his ride
Leaving California for
A young woman and a child
Mother said that I was wrong
He left her not me
A woman will come your way
To fill his broken piece
It was all you could take
Light will follow you through your day
Bird has flown
And you've gone
On your own
If you were your mothers love
Then you'd have to guess
That you'd be her number one
But she said that times were tough
When he lost his mind
Breeding paranoia and
Fear of her own kind

All Your Life
04:25
|

Thought I'd go and leave
Anyway
time recalls
All your life
All your life
All your life
You can't believe
That a match dipped
In gasoline
Has the power to lift
You from this dream
One I thought to leave
Now I'll go and lead
Anyway time recalls
All your life
All your life
All your life
All the pills were green
And I swallowed them inside a sea
Of mercury
Then the fire came and burned your mind
And drowned you deep
When I thought to leave
Anyway time recalls
All your life
All your life
All your life
The noose was clean
As I swung it on the blade on high
The fan did gleam
And it's revolutions turned my mind
Back indeed
When I thought to leave
Anyway time recalls
All your life
All your life
All your life

Angelo De Augustine Los Angeles, California

His fourth solo LP exists according to its own quixotic logic, inhabiting a psychic landscape as sublimely mystifying as a fever dream or fairy tale. ... more
