Lyrics
Waters Edge
An isolated life he lives
People passing by with problems only he can fix
And now it’s me who's caught within the sticks
Stories bleed as tinkering rings out
The light begins to fall asleep as we all sit around
The sense of something out there grows so real,
and I know, I can feel.
At the water’s edge where the river runs high
Corrugated road and a thousand cane toads
Heat on the land like fever
Different roads like veins
The mind dreams further and deeper
Into the black and past your reach
Feel something move but nothing’s changing
You’re out of reach but not out of sight
The country's strong out here he warns
Don’t you go where you don’t belong
Or you’ll feel it somewhere you didn’t know you had
Don’t do no wrong
Different lines cross in the sand
New directions at stake
Can’t you see the dust in your hand
Don’t let it tumble, don’t let it break
That's what he said
That's what he said
That's what he said
At the water’s edge
That's what he said (x8)
Matter of Time
Dead weight in the way of something better
Held down with greasy hands and full of pleasure
But it’s all right there, in a state of despair
Permitted heads are buried in the sand
All bells are ringing but no one's listening
Too many blinkers for the pole position
What everyone needs, is promised we'll see
Any word, any sequence for the mission
They're all howling
But it's all just a matter of time for you
It's all broken
But it's all just a matter of time for you
The spoon is stirring but it keeps sticking
The growing pains cause wincing and hissing
But the visionaries wear it, just to make them listen.
Tongues that over work, they can't swallow their pride
Dismiss the bigger picture and they quel, theyl concerns with lies
They’re all howling
But it's all just a matter of time for you
Can't you see it
But it's all just a matter of time for you
Walk Away
Why is it so easy to make it up in my mind what i want to berate
But when it comes time to speak
To the point of confrontation, I just can’t articulate
Do I have the guts to say what needs to be said
Turn everything on its head
Or will I walk away, will I walk right away
I’m an open book
But in the face of adversity
I clam up, tongue tied
My heart beats in my chest
Can I say what needs to be said
When you walked away, what did you want to say
When you walked away, what did you want to
What did you want to say, when you walked away
What did you want to say
When you walked away, what did you want to say
When you walked away, what did you want to
What did you want to say, when you walked away
What did you want to say
Prejudice remarks make my ears stand tall but my vocal transmission stalls
Intimidation in all its faces drives rage up my pipes but they're clogged when they should flow
A friend of mine likes to run but it seems some upstanding citizens like to deprive my dog of fun
Well there's some sad people under this sun
When you walked away, what did you want to say
When you walked away, what did you want to
What did you want to say, when you walked away
What did you want to say
