UNEASY PILGRIM LYRICS
More coming soon!
...And the red tape (2013)
1. Say Ahh (Ben Cavin)
Okay, so what'd you do today?
Alright, it didn't take all night
My friend, I'll love you 'til the end
Oh yeah, that's right I said oh yeah
Ooh baby, baby yeah
You're love can save me, yeah
So don't break it, baby yeah
Ooh baby, baby yeah
Oh no, did you forget to show?
Oh well, I couldn't ring your bell
It's kind to keep me in your mind
Oh yeah, that's right I said oh yeah
2. Talkative (Justin Casey)
Make all your money complaining
Take all your time make sure it's spent
On something that don't need doing
Spend all your money on nothing
You're far too, far too talkative
You're far too, far too talkative
You always tell me nothing
You're far too, far too talkative
Let's drink tonight, let's drink to health
You earned it by her call for help
A smaller version of yourself
With all this bullshit on your shelf.
3. Pinch (Ben Cavin)
Is it safe to come out now?
'Cause these walls are closing in
Been inside for so long now
Don't know where to begin
All these doubts and confusions
Everybody run to him
Got it all on my own now
And it will carry in the end
You say these are hard times
And we gotta stick together
I say it's a fine line
And we've been walking it forever
Sneaks in through your front door
While you're watching how to live
Feel a pinch in the bloodstream
When there's nothing left to give
What you say and what you're thinking
Is really just their narrative
It changes hands and it changes minds
Makes them so cooperative
4. A-Frame (Justin Casey)
Look for the place
In the shape of an A
We all used to go there
Now we all stay away
There's stains on the concrete
But the paint seems to fade
And the men put in place
To make sure it's safe
They made sure that we had
No reason to stay
So we just used the pages
'Cause it's so hard to pray
We go up to the trees
It's so good to see
You waiting so patient
I'm anxious to say this
From the tops of the trees
It's so good to see you here
The sounds never last
Just a quick forceful blast
But they traveled too far
Now they're all in the past
So it just stands and crumbles
'Til it all turns to ash
And the creek's filled with trash
It's tangled up in the grass
And the trees all hang sideways
Like they're moving too fast
Looks just like a shipwreck
But it always has
5. Favorite Fist (Ben Cavin)
Broken home makes you so cool
Breaking records and breaking rules
All this ringing inside your head
Voices calling, sounds like they're dead
Just the body
Just the body's left behind
If you want to wait for the show
He don't use no method, just lose control
What's the point if it don't exist?
Try to swallow his favorite fist
You can turn it off if you want to
6. No Sleep (Justin Casey)
An evening of breathing
Down my own neck
I'm eating the feeling
'Til it comes back up my chest
I get up, start moving around
My head's up, but my eye's on the ground
My feet won't rest
My head don't sleep
It's morning, I'm storming
Out my front door
I'm mourning my boredom
'Cause it don't see me no more
And I'm careless, I'm fumbling around
I'm staring, but my eyelids are down
7. Hayley Sky (Ben Cavin)
Hey, where have you been?
Been waiting a long time
And hey, don't you know who I am
And that I'd make you mine?
This is where I am
Lying here with you
And oh what we could plan
What we could do
Now, as the ground starts to shake
We know who to hold onto
Now, as we learn our new names
What we must do
[Chorus]
Oh, as we lose all the rest
We keep on driving through
And oh, forgive me at my best
'Cause you know I love you
This is where I am
Lying here with you
And oh what we could plan
For me and you
Did you take a holiday?
Did you give it all away?
8. Where Were You? (Justin Casey)
Stirring up the sea I try to keep so calm
Spins around, it brings me down
As I come up for air, I find that I
was breathing all along
Well maybe next time, I could drown
Where were you when it didn't matter?
Where were you when it didn't matter?
Where were you in the stormy waters?
We were tending to our sons and daughters
Where were you when it didn't matter?
It didn't take more time to fall asleep
Than the night before
It never really bothered me
And when the party finds me I'll be home
Safe and washed ashore
Better than being lost at sea
Where were you when it didn't matter?
Where were you when it didn't matter?
Where were you in the stormy waters?
We were tending to our sons and daughters
You, you never made it matter
9. Jugular (Ben Cavin)
Don't stand so close to me
'Cause you know I'll bring you down
Like a dog in a cage
That's barking oh so loud
I'll bite the hand that feeds me
When it turns around
And I will watch it bleed
'Til it falls onto the ground
Looks like I'm going down
So I'm going for your jugular
Looks like I'm going down
So I'm going for your jugular
Watch what you say to me
'Cause it lingers in my ear
Trying to keep eyes closed
Every time that you come near
All the games that you're playing
Just seem so sincere
I'll walk away with the pain
And you can keep the fear
Looks like I'm going down
So I'm going for your jugular
Looks like I'm going down
So I'm going for your jugular
You'll never bring me down
'Cause I'm aiming for your jugular
Looks like I'm going down
So I'm going for your jugular
10. Just My Imagination (Ben Cavin)
And the wind was blowing free
As it rustled through the trees
And I'm feeling alright tonight, tonight
And his life was pretty fair
'Til he fell down all them stairs
But he's doing alright tonight, tonight
It couldn't happen then
But you never know my friend
Because it just might happen tonight, tonight
It was just my imagination
You'll just have to tell your friends
'Cause you know it never ends
No, these feelings won't go away, away
Just 'cause you couldn't see
Doesn't mean you disagree
Because you didn't feel a thing today, today
No need to comprehend
If you need to sit or stand
Because you'll only just waste the day away
Okay, so what'd you do today?
Alright, it didn't take all night
My friend, I'll love you 'til the end
Oh yeah, that's right I said oh yeah
Ooh baby, baby yeah
You're love can save me, yeah
So don't break it, baby yeah
Ooh baby, baby yeah
Oh no, did you forget to show?
Oh well, I couldn't ring your bell
It's kind to keep me in your mind
Oh yeah, that's right I said oh yeah
