Ghost Stop

Just glide on by, you just glide
I stop at all the green lights
And I glide past all the reds
I’m spacing out today and I don’t know why
I’m seeing so clearly without much sight
I blink and see the same thing, inside and out
I hope this numbness isn’t taking me down
‘cause it’s fine, yeah it’s alright

Levitate

Time crawls slowly by when we're apart but together it speeds on by, we don't have enough time. And things are changing fast, I don’t know why. It must be something between you and I. You practically levitate. And what am I supposed to do when we reach ours. I guess I can do it again and then we’ll recharge.
(CHORUS)
I guess I can do it again if you shut your eyes. If yes, then we’ll take it from then, the best surprise. Breathe like that and we’ll be here all night. If it’s alright with you I’d like to take my time tonight.
I can feel your heart it’s thumping against my skin. And mine is threatening to make its way in. My body would fumble at any other time but for this it strikes fast and precise.

As It Is

Here our hearts fall, catch it in your mitt if you think you can. Take a swing then count up all the dreams that you think you’ve had. Write it down and throw it away, you know you’ll never need it. Then lie to yourself some more, you know that you need it.
(CHORUS)
Shove it in your backpack, throw it in your car, read it while you drive. Saying that you understand, you know who you are, but I’m not sure that you do. Hold your arms out, look up and spin, you might as well then. Take it, just take it, take it as it is.
Peel back the skin and look inside a book you’ve not yet read. You’ve tried before, as well all have, and failed, as well all have. So tear the pages out, let the anger write it now and hold it up to the light. And lie to yourself some more, you know that you need it.

Down

I’ve been down, I’ve been around but I’ve never seen nothing like you before
You can take that, you can run away, but you’ll never be able to leave me
You can take that, you can run away, but you can never take it back
I’ve been down, I’ve been around but I’ve never seen nothing like you before
I need you but you needed me, “needed” not “need,” not now
I want you but you wanted me, your past tense bringing me down
So just go, just leave, you’ve got me screaming words I don’t even mean
So just go, just leave, you can’t even see the mess that you’ve made of me
Is this what I should feel? Should I be happy you made happy real for a while?
Or rather pissed at where you’re leaving me here? Should I thank you, shit, are you for real?
You want a thank you, well here’s one dear, thanks for making my fears real
I’ve been down, I’ve been around but I’ve never seen nothing like you before

Howl

If I can howl like he did
Will my mind survive
Take the works of Beauvoir
And Freud and Butler combined
Will you see the same as I did
Or will we lose our ties
If I can howl like he did
Will my mind survive
There’s stripping and maddening
And over riding concepts
Divide
If I can howl like he did
Will my mind survive
What is this
You can’t take me
Surprise

Alex da Ponte Memphis, Tennessee
