Violent
Liquid, she's drinking more of everything
She drained an ocean out of me
Left me washed up in bankruptcy
Like a storm far out to sea, she's gone
She ran like water through my hands
Silver drops on thirsty lands
Then she sank into the sand, she's gone
Stranded on a saw-toothed reef
She bled my life beyond belief
Just another fluid thief, she's gone
Sometimes I think of the lives I could have led
Before the sweet nectar, heat and lust came shimmering out of my head
In a salty cave I perspi
Straight Curve
We抮e going down a straight curve, all along the while.
And people have you heard, all about the child.
Up above God asked you, won抰 you hold it down
Feeling out way through, digging up the sound.
And the blanket of hope surrounds us, feeding our every thought.
Covering us from all the bad luck, want to never be caught.
Chorus
We can see the lightening now, blinding our eyes somehow.
We will do as we抮e told, standing by out very souls.
Wishing only what should not be, won抰 somebody answer me
Out of sight, not out of time, soon we抮e running out of time.
We抮e going down a straight curve, thing never look the same.
Life seems so absurd, ain抰 it time for a change.
The old ones for the new kind, you can抰 leave the home.
It抯 gonna get worse with time, but you抮e no longer alone.
And if the ball rolls off sand hill road, someone抯 there to see it down
"This cup抯 half full" is the way we chose, The only way around.
We抮e going down a straight curve, Trying not to lose out minds.
Holding on at every turn, never keeping between the lines.
Virginia抯 always home to us, feeding out heads with hope.
We don抰 think about it much, cause we know we抣l always know
If the time runs out on our show somehow, you抣l be there to turn it back
So check your coat; you抣l be here for now, realizing what we have.
