Crashing Gates

Kevin Max Crashing Gates Lyrics
1.Traveler

An Imitation
of a relationship
it's all we've got

a simulation
in preservation
and our time is running out

don't try to sell it to me
don't try to win me over
all your lies

don't need your consolation
don't try to be a lover
all dried up

and i'm a fighter and uh
and i'm a loser and uh
and i'm a sticking with you

we try to take it slow
cause time. time will let me know
if i throw you overboard

is there an end to this?
can we make some sense
it's all we've got

an observation
justification
and we all want out

a work in progress
some earth to dig in
but it's all used up

you and i
we stare into the abyss
is there more than this?

and i'm a fighter and uh
and i'm a sympathizer and uh
i believe in you

cause we'll try to take it slow
cause love, love will let me know
if you stay or if you go

this situation
disintegration
and its barely holding up

and its been over
and its been over
for a long time now

but i'm a fighter and uh
and i'm a liar and uh
and i 'm sticking with you.

and i'm on fire and uh
and i'm sinner and uh
and i'm sticking with you

and uh and i'm a sinner
and un and i'm a traveler
and uh and i'm a fighter
and uh and i'm a voyeur
and uh and i'm a prodigal
and uh and i'm impossible
and i will still be here and uh...

you and i we stare into the abyss
is there more than this
is there more than this
is there more than this


2.Baby I'm Your Man

i can tell your beat up inside
your black and your blue
and you don't know how to find the light
uh oh
tell me how to make it alright
i've been through hell too
and i've had my own poltergeist
you need to find peace
something beautiful please
you need to find yourself

Love is the only way
Love it's necessity
Love, you need to grab all you can
cause baby, I'm Your Man

say goodbye to all of your woes
of Baudelaire and Poe
lets get those shadows exposed my love
take my hand i'll make it alright
we can talk through the night
chase the sunset til we take flight
you need to find truth
something beautiful, you
you need to work it out

Love, its chemical
Love, feeling primal
Love you need to grab all you can
Cause Baby I'm Your Man

Love, anthropological
Love, it's never practical
love, you need to grab all you can
Cause Baby I'm Your Man


3.The Saint Of Lonely Hearts

when fate has seen you
on the stage of life
(resilient and repressed)
when angels receive you
in their house of light
(reinvented and distressed)
that is when we know that your a hero
when you walk through fire and fear zero

just Like old blue eyes
you've gone your own way
on broken highways
you have made your name
and carved out sidewalks
that people now stand upon
Cause True Rebels walk alone
you are the Saint of lonely hearts

when life has got you
in a stranglehold
(fearful and depressed)
your only friends are
people that you owe
(and frankly they're under duress)
that is when you get down on your knees
and get release from your lonely heart disease

Like John the Baptist
you have made the way
for the unbelievers and their restless hate
but still you cover them
yes, you bury them with grace
and yes you walk alone
your the saint of Lonely Hearts


4.Future Love Song

undress the hate
your tired hands
begin to shake
your so worn out
war torn indifferent
you lie among the cobwebs in your hiding place
you take another pill and float away, yeah

and you, you were born to the rule the world
and you could have changed the future
but you didn't realize what it took to pay the price
you were born to rule the world
but you couldn't tell the future
can you look into the eyes
of the innocent who've died
you were born to rule the world- yes you
you were born to rule the world

we call your name
the same name that's always been
from the dawn of time
we need your help
to save us from ourselves
we turn to the guilty and religious right
we try to understand the reasons why? why?

that you-
you you were born to rule the world
and you came to change the future
we could not realize
why you gladly paid the price
you were born to rule the world
and you died to make us listen
a Human sacrifice
can we look into your eyes
you were born to rule the world
you were born to rule the world
you were born to rule the world

and you, you were born to the world
and you came to change the future
and you didn't criticize
you just laid it on the line
you were born to rule the world
the magic and the lesson
a Human sacrifice
can we look into your eyes
can we look into your eyes
will we look into your eyes
will we look into your eyes?

sure enough cooking is our own fate
and not everyone thinks about the human race
even when were all swimming in the same big lake
you know everyone listens but they never change
too many people want to just kill the pain
but all of us need to hear that voice again
Yeshua

oh my god, there's something changing
that we didn't know

'firing line'
guilty as charged
take another life
no one here but me to blame
take another life
guilty as charged


5.Out Of The Wild

2075
The Freeways were still alive
See the People for Miles and Miles
2075
We were searching for a place to hide
easy rider meets the end of time
you were young and i was wild
2075
and they blew down the buildings
and we stood in lines for bread
just like Mother Russia back when she was still Red
and they said
Ding Dong The Witch is Dead
Ding Dong The Witch is Dead
from the shores of Nantucket to Los Angeles
she was swallowed up in petty greed

In New York City
the sun doesn't shine
and Hollywood is covered in vines
they dug up treasure from the Mayan Times
2079
but the fire in their breast
burned like a funeral Pyre
the museums are closing
and the animals all fled
down deep in the City
Liberty's lost her head
Ding Dong The Witch is dead
Ding Dong The Witch is dead
Ding Dong The Witch is dead
from the bars of Milwaukee to the Forests of Bend
she was driven out of the city on her own Stench

so Tell me a story
and make it sweet
like a tale from a dream
there is a city of gold up in the sky
a place where we never die


6.Crashing Gates And Passing Keepers

they saw us coming
from miles away
jubilant train
wearing a pink boa and feathers like an exotic bird
double headed
breathing smoke
looking for a line to quote
waiting to jump the rope
to change the vote
to witness hope
in the newest thing
called freedom
but they said 'no way'
and they wore the same coats
khaki brown and faded
typed at the same machines
and tried to box up all the dreams
in neat little packages
like widgets for the factory
all the while watching big brother watching
big brother watching
'but we are crashing gates
and we are passing over the gate keepers'
we are the new
and we are marching like a jubilant train
through your towns
past your landscapes of lame ducks
past the lines of indifference
past the stormtroopers of compromise
the deputies of damage control
the officers of fear
as they hand out their tickets to the deaf
and the dumb and the younger ones
to the very old, the influential,
the disturbed, the zealots,
the sheltered, the innocent.

like the dawning of a new age
like the turning of a new page
like the birth of a new son
like freedom
on a roll
wearing nothing but a smile on our faces
and our hands up in the ai


7.Your Beautiful Mind 2009

The question is
Where did this begin
Who authored and who finished it?

Such a beautiful world
But such a twisted plan
For it to end before we really lived in it

Oh tell me why is this happening?
Oh tell me why should i believe in anything?

And I find your beautiful mind in everything
But everything can't make me believe
And I find your beautiful eyes see everything
So show me something beautiful please

Corporations rise
As the working man will fall
We bit the apple
Now the apple is eating us

We want our 15 minutes
And then we want it all
And watch our own image bleeding us

I feel so cold, and I'm growing old
So come on now just finish it

Oh tell me what's the purpose of love anyway?
She looks the best when she just walks away

And I find your beautiful hands make everything
And everything is all i need
And I find your beautiful eyes see everything
So show me something beautiful please

Oh I cannot figure it (please show me Lord)
I cannot get into it (please show me Lord, oh let me see You)
Is there a code that i can't crack
My life is slipping right off the tracks
Don't even know if i want it back
So take it away from me

And I find your beautiful mind in everything
And everything is all I need
I find your beautiful eyes see everything
So show me something beautiful
