I wanted you to notice when I dyed and cut my hair.
I put on my red lipstick and decided I should wear
the dress that I thought was hottest.
I just wanted to be a goddess;
a deity unlike another.
If you wonder, I will follow you into the night
as a child without a mother.
Send your arms to hold me tight tonight.
She wanted me to notice when she dyed and cut her hair.
I found her in the garden outside under the stair
asleep and lying still as amber.
Last December she was hiding where
she thought I would never find her.
I remind her of days that brought her despair.
The garden foliage is greener and her fruit has become ripe tonight.

The Eidolons - Guarantee

I wish you were there from the beginning but no one ever sticks around that long unless they know what is in it for them and only when there is some kind of guarantee.

Listening to her tell me sincerely she would never see a shooting star. So elusive, it could not exist. It's just a myth.
I don't believe in shooting stars
I don't believe in life on Mars
Don't deceive with blinded horrors
I expected something smarter
Make it easier not harder
Tell me when you're telling lies
Pretending I could be alive and satisfied I tried to hide behind a lie. Her at my side in public eyes without the light
Of April skies illuminating my disguise. Let's deny what we don't see with our own two eyes.
I don't believe in anything I cannot see...
I don't believe in destiny
I don't believe in fantasy
I cannot see what is holding me
So I don't believe in gravity
Until I see with my own two eyes a shooting star across the skies

Oh my love look at your face
The prettiest one in this place
I know I said I needed my space
Good thing we have Queen Anne's Lace
When I was a boy I was naive
I wore my heart upon my sleeve
And Jesus was watching over me
If anyone asks you where I am
Tell them I'm acting like a man
Who let his love slip through his hands
Oh my love the sky is so dark
Pennyroyal and Cottonwood Bark
Cohosh of Black and Cohosh of Blue
How could we let this happen to you?
I may be a masochist
Clenching on a passive fist
And it will never be the same
I've forgotten how to feel
And now nothing else is real
But the inevitable pain
Nature always gets her way
We try and force her to obey
I feel nothing today
Oh my love look at your face
The prettiest one in this place

In New York City there ain't no time to even waste in line waiting when eyes are dilated open wide and not caring they just caught you staring back. You never expected that, did you? At every time you look up the eyes are staring at you.
If you give us a masquerade your money goes faster they hold in their laughter, take advantage of this exact situation without hesitation. The minute is fastest in the nation and everything else you've heard about it seems to be true.
I knew the moment I met you I would never forget you and now that I'm gone I have to let you know. I didn't always expect you to stay in my life, but I'm glad that you did. And know that even though I never said that I need you, deep down I believe that if two people are destined for each other, Sonoma California to New York, it's not up to you. Or it's not up to me. How can we really know? I'm not saying I'd like to change the natural course of things. I have to spread my wings and you have much more of your life ahead of you. We have some things to do. No matter where we go I want you to know. Before the day that I die, I want you to know that I love you. When I close my tired eyes, you should know that I am thinking of you.

The Eidolons - Job
02:53
|
|||
|
Don't ask me one more time for a job. I haven't got one for you. They took it from you. It's all because you tried to be something that you were not fit or applied for. The reasons are not for us to tell you why. Just remember all you can, and perhaps we'll call you again.
Don't blame me for anything. Blame God for what has happened to you. He did this to you. It's all because you lied and the reasons were not always justified. I'm not saying it was right or wrong or implied that you ever have to live by your own initiative.
I was the patient one who never asked you why in the interim, between the desperate times and the easy ones when everything was fine you messed up everything.

Blow out the candle light and lay down here with me under the drawing that you made hanging above my bed where you and I can hide all through the night.
We have to stay alive forever and a day to show the world that we are made of more than just blood and bones inside behind our eyes.
There is no ending point and there is no beginning either I don't even care how long it takes you to believe because you had your chance to leave.
Love has an appetite for setting into stone what we have started to unfold until the emptiness decides it must grow old and sympathize.
You made the bed in which you lie. I've heard it said as I forget and put aside past mistakes anticipating ones that I have yet to make.
It's so extraordinary how you complicate the simple things. And tell me how I can relate when you're thinking in circles. You make me think in circles.
Although it can be scary when you're in a state of confusion no one else can help you to escape. Not that you want me to save you because you know it's safe to not make any sudden movements and tempt the hand of fate.
And if you think too much you will tremble from the weight of implications that something like this can create.
When you're thinking in circles you make me think in circles.

Lord, Lord I must have love
Before I never come back
Lord I've got to have love
I fell into a well
The world was over my head
My head began to swell
They say I should have been dead
I say you never can tell
Lord, Lord I must have love
Before I never come back
Lord I've got to have love
Love is never proud
Love is always kind
When kindness gets too loud
I always change my mind
You'll never break me down
You'll never make me frown
You'll never make me
You'll never break me
You'll never bring me down
Lord, Lord I must have love
Before I never come back
Lord I've got to have love

The Eidolons - Alone
04:55
|
|||

The clock is ticking and the rays of sun are beating on my forehead making my hair stick around on top of beads of sweat. I have been waiting all last night for you to call me back. The time we spent together was enough for me to not be a wreck.
Even when you're with me I feel alone and when you're here it feels like you're gone.
This is the part where lovers keep each other at a distance. It's not uncommon for this thing to happen like for instance, I set myself up high enough for you to pull the rug out from under me, but luckily I'm hanging from the chandelier. All right my dear, you can leave me hanging here forever. I don't know if you're aware, but my heart isn't made of leather or stainless steel. I still can feel the loneliness when you're beside me. When you're not, I feel I've got a lot of nothing to remind me....

No one ever sticks around that long unless they know what is in it for them and only when there is some kind of guarantee that he or she will have some kind of prize in the end. But, my friend, I don't expect to see you at the finish line. And I don't want to waste your precious time.

The Eidolons - Home
05:41

See through the window a man you don't know sitting in silence all alone until he sees her breast in the mirror as she is hanging up the phone.
Home is where they put the drama. Home is where they keep the karma.
Quarter to midnight. The flickering light. The television black and whit noise. The wife ignoring her husband's snoring after a night out with the boys.
Home is where they put the drama. Home is where they keep the karma.
No matter how far I go from there, I always end up where I belong.
