Future Sons and Daughters
Future Sons & Daughters Album Lyrics
1. A Complete Unknown
in the hallway
a seed was sewn
into the mind of a complete unknown
then a story
which was never known
rose to the surface
and soon took hold
like a battle
you just can’t win
what you’ve kept out
you now let in
and the secrets of a convenient friend
bringing you back
again and again
back and fourth from what you think is right
time could heal the things you feel tonight
so wake up
put on a new face
following through
with agreements made
but a feeling
you just can’t name
is taking control
of what you do and say
back and fourth from what you think is right
time could heal the things you feel tonight
roads signal decay
when you’re torn between your words
you cannot be saved
this is something you own
you won’t get no sympathy
try if you want but it won’t be free
from the shadows
you just can’t see
desire and need
almost never agree
2. The Other Side
when the morning comes I feel my mind still wonders
that what we have may not be right for me
but perfection keeps you looking around forever
for a heaven only you will ever see
take my time
take my chances
cuz I don’t know what all of this will ever mean
hear my words
but don’t you listen
cuz I don’t know about the other side of me
we had so much fun as we drove around last Sunday
and things were right and I knew just what to do
I’ve never had a hard time assisting anybody
but my biggest fear is what I can’t give to you
take my time
take my chances
cuz I don’t know what all of this will ever mean
hear my words
but don’t you listen
cuz I don’t know about the other side of me
there won’t always be tomorrow
I realize
still I take my time
take my chances
cuz I don’t know what all of this will ever mean
hear my words
but don’t you listen
cuz I don’t know about the other side of me
I don’t know about the other side of me
I don’t know about the other side of me
3. It’s Been So Long
who’s right who’s wrong
it doesn’t matter still
it doesn’t matter still
it’s been so long
i don’t know how you feel
i don’t know how you feel
what’s mine what’s yours
it doesn’t matter still
it doesn’t matter still
things aren’t like before
I don’t know how you feel
I don’t know how I feel
mercy finds us every now and then
but holes are present still
same old story time and time again
as you sit on your hill
it’s been so long
I don’t know how you feel
I don’t know how you feel
who gives who takes
it doesn’t matter still
it doesn’t matter still
don’t know what to say
I don’t know how I feel
I don’t know how I feel
mercy finds us every now and then
but holes are present till
same old story time and time again
as you sit on your hill
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
who’s right who’s wrong
it doesn’t matter still
it doesn’t matter still
it’s been so long
I don’t know how I feel
I don’t know how I feel
4. Darker Days
cold
when I found your fire
and you had so much to give
you showed me what it meant
to fight
and be strong enough
to liberate my love
from the futile hands of those that don’t believe
in what I need
so you know I won’t occupy my mind with the darker days
I wanted
something new
but when the changing winds occurred
I never was too sure
what to do
an assortment of excuse
it’s hard to hear the truth
you either listen or you treat it like disease
and i’m hard to please
but you know I won’t occupy my mind with the darker days
cuz I know I’ve found what i’m looking for when I see your face
and there’s just a few around when you’re in need
but I know you’ll be there to define my ways
yeah yeah yeah
but you know I won’t occupy my mind with the darker days
cuz I know I’ve found what i’m looking for when I see your face
and there’s just a few around when you’re in need
and I know you’ll help me to define my ways
and there’s nothing left when you’re down on your knees
but I know you’ll be there to refine what I know
yeah yeah yeah
5. Self Preservation
every now and then you wonder what went wrong
Short-term memory sings the latest song
but over time the many lines were drawn
forcing everyone to a place where they belong
we know by now
it’s hard to turn this around
but like the leaves change
we just have to rearrange
in order to get by
friends and lovers were never approved to provide
but a parent is anyone showing you how to survive
if there’s no game then there’s no win or lose
but as it stands now it’s got to be me or you
we know by now
it’s hard to turn this around
but like the leaves change
we just have to rearrange
in order to survive
we know by now
it’s hard to turn this around
but like the leaves change
we just have to rearrange
in order to get by
6. Leavenworth
it wouldn’t take you long
to forget your name
gifts hung around your neck
they don’t mean a thing
no laws nor the house of god
could keep your word
time is running out
to begin your search
and in Leavenworth
you knew
what you wanted but
could not do
but I won’t belong to this
tracking down the lies that I know I’ve missed
and only the fools would hang around
cuz when love is lost it can’t
be found
some of the wounds I’ve kept
others kept at bay
wars over times we spent
with nothing left to say
and in Leavenworth
you knew
what you wanted but
could not do
but I won’t belong to this
tracking down the lies that I know I’ve missed
and only the fools would hang around
cuz when love is lost it can’t
be found
and I won’t belong to this
tracking down the lies that I know I’ve missed
and only the fools would hang around
cuz when love is lost it can’t
be found
7. Grand Opinion
every time you slip they can’t know
everyone needs a chance to start over
who’s in charge of love’s allocation
those answers never do come easy
so often times your mind will wander
with a focus on what you can get tonight
in the end no one is accountable
what have we left for the ones taking over
time tells you everything
the right from the wrong the songs we sing
the sun will set and the sun will rise
we don’t have to live analytical lives
how many times will you be altered
now the scars are turning inside out
soon things will return to wonderful
what have we done for the ones taking over
time tells you everything
the right from the wrong the songs we sing
the sun will set and the sun will rise
we don’t have to live analytical lives
if you don’t fight
for what you want
roads will be built for you
as you
sit around
sing along
then back on back we’ll go
back on back we’ll go
8. Fortunate Family Tree
a fortunate one from a fortunate family tree
passing you by taking liberties tonight
but that’s all right
when the system fails you’ll be next to me
with all it entails and all that asks of me
i’m fine
yeah i’m all right
a full-blown fantasy
a complex pride
your made up nemeses are wrecking your mind
fissures appear in this burning land
where it’s hard to find love and hard to make a plan
yeah you know
yeah you know
is this how you’d like to build your world
with half of a song and half sacrificed words
then you’re gone
yeah you’re gone
a full-blown fantasy
a complex pride
your made up nemeses are wrecking your mind
an unfair penalty
that you can’t fight
a long dark canopy
pulled over your eyes
a fortunate one from a fortunate family tree
passing you by taking liberties tonight
oh what a sight
now the earth it turns regardless of harmony
this city it burns but now it’s a part of me
and i’m fine
yeah i’m all right
a full-blown fantasy
a complex pride
your made up nemeses are wrecking your mind
an unfair penalty
that you can’t fight
a long dark canopy
pulled over your eyes
it’s wrecking your mind
it’s wrecking your mind
it’s wrecking your mind
9. When the Dust Settles
I know you better than you know your own name
situations drive you oh so crazy
show interest but it’s all for strangers
tell me something you haven’t heard from someone else
don’t you know where you are who are you fooling
now you’re in the land of the most confused
and people’s moods just glorify what you’re doing
tell me something you haven’t heard from all the rest
cuz I will wait here for you now
and when the dust settles you’ll find me here somehow
you’re being as insincere as you ever will be
what you say and do aren’t the same
taking all that you know for granted slowly
talk a lot with nothing at all to say
cuz I will wait here for you now
and when the dust settles you’ll find me here somehow
I’ll be someone you’ll never forget
you can’t see me now
but I will wait here for you now
tell me something you know
it won’t be long till you beg and you borrow
tell me something you know
tell me something you know
and I will wait here for you now
and when the dust settles you’ll find me here somehow
I’ll be someone you never forget
you can’t see me now
but I will wait here for you now
and I will wait here for you now
10. Jorge Ben
Instrumental
11. Endings are Beginnings
I tell myself
that i’m not who I’ve hated
and when I do
i’m like an old record playing back
and I want to start
but it’s so hard to begin
everybody’s racing
but nobody’s winning
now I’ve tried to forget you
but you just are not leaving
and god I wish
that I could just
be at peace with it
cuz I’ve done my best
to believe that endings
have something
to do with beginnings
