You Became The Light
02:51
|
|||
|
i can’t open my mind today
constantly hoping i drift away
be gone the ocean
robs you
like a harmless
wave to your friend
she’s waiting by the edge
"you became the light"
no time to come back
the past is still the pest
our worst moments
outweigh the best
new day is calling
softly
like the dormant
pain in your chest,
it never goes to rest.
i would have known you
before i ever said
"you became the light”

And it makes you cry
save it for a little while
you wont see me again
so i leave you here
masquerade your
hopes and fears
you won’t fear me now
wouldn’t mind a feeling
wouldn’t mind a whisper healing
you won’t heal me now
on your way to feeling like you
made a big mistake
i still make it even
when i say that i'll be late
And it makes you cry
save it for a little while
you won’t see me again
so i leave you here
masquerade your
hopes and fears
you won’t fear me now

No

no
it isn’t the way that you look
there isn’t a thing i can tell you
have to see it on your own
no
can’t help you make a disguise
when the secrets you hide
are only lies
it’s making me die.
and you’re never gone as much
as you say you are.
‘cause even when you’re here
you’re afar.
don’t lie to me.
no
it isn’t the things that you say
when the gaze you held is astray
no it isn’t the way.
no
can’t tell you how to live your life
when the beating of hands are in the light
you’ll always be right.
and you’re never gone as much
as you say you are.
‘cause even when you’re here
you’re afar.
don’t lie to me.

Slow Burn
05:16
|

|
slow burn in the abyss
a drowning
like fire in the sky
you wait for him
notice why
we fall for it
growing old is hard to do
when you need her
slow burn in the abyss
a life has saved
the far reaching hope
and a crushing.
cut the cord
and remind yourself
growing old is hard to do
when you need her.
i promised you the great divide.

Palisades
04:36
|

|
when you awake
the secret on your face
appears to fade away
the changes seen
come to be as one
taking away
the terror of a life abating
turned and now it
waits for you
people own your word
she is not the same
when she's drinking all the rain
broken olive trees in the distance
palisades are calling
the bow is off the harbor
and when we disappear
we will follow
memory fade
a stone is what I need to feel
between the yearning
powers that be
covered in leaves
the dark
hand in the mold
in praise of slowness
father and his son alone
embodying silence of the sea
she is not the same
when she's drinking all the rain
broken olive trees in the distance
palisades are calling
the bow is off the harbor
and when we disappear
we will follow

You Are Not Your Mind
03:40
|
|||
|
nothing makes a barrier
to the Self
distant carrier
of all the pain you'll never feel.
post in the universe
not close
a superior
and corroded like a thought
disconnected and distraught
and you know it takes it a lot
you're always breathing
don't believe it
you are not your mind
take it all in time
you will not go where everyone tells you to go
if the life you lead is blind
having so much on your way
of knowing when to live or when to die
lost or whatever it
could tell
im not here and yet
we correct our movements to be
right we will always have
our right.
not immediate
with all the pain you'll never feel
and all the pain it isn't real
it takes it a lot
you're always bleeding
don't believe it
you are not your mind
take it all in time
you will not go where everyone tells you to go
if the life you lead is blind
having so much on your way
of knowing when to live or when to die

Evergreen
03:00
|
|||
|
constellations in the power lines again
left to wake upon the shoreline with no friend.
swimming in the shallow water
every wave is like a proverb
come and wake me up from this nightmare.
i want to be like evergreen
and cast away my fears
i want to be like everything
and drown in all the things i couldn't be.
home is where a heart is lonesome in the end
written on a grain of sand that reaches in
there is beauty all around us
love is not a way to show it
desecrated god on your shoulder.
i want to be like evergreen
and cast away my fears
i want to be like everything
and drown in all the things i wasn't
i want to be like evergreen
and cast away my fears
i want to be like everything
and drown in all the things i love and
life is offering a death for me.

Into The Void
04:37
|
|||
|
one thing that you should know.
i fall in the undertow.
make it so, wide-eyed.
revolution’s on my mind.
though it goes on you stay out
though it goes on you stay
into the void.
grow a new day - gone.
bracing for my song.
time is binding you
to a place untrue.
though it goes on you stay out
though it goes on you stay
into the void.
i’m not leaving.

Eric Slick Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
While with previous solo records Palisades and Bullfighter Slick mined his subconscious for the moodier and more abstract side of the coin, Wiseacre is a technicolored exaltation. It reads like a novel, sequencing in chronological order the ups and downs of self-acceptance before fully committing to someone else. ... more
