Two Conversations

The Appleseed Cast Two Conversations Lyrics
1.Hanging Marionette

Lyricist:Christopher Crisci, Aaron Pillar, Marcus Young

And stripes on fire, these hands are tired
I'm making plans to drink away
And all these words I can't escape
I have to try to make you stay

Because I'm alone
Stay with me this time
Stay with me this time

Because what I'm feeling inside
I'm troubled or maybe I'm blind
But I just can't see
How this is helping me

The stars are burning bright
Like the light that lights your eyes
Why couldn't I see
That you were leaving?

Because I'm alone
I need someone, someone to be my friend
But I can't take anyone
Who can't stay until the end

Because I'm alone
Stay with me this time
Stay with me this time

And the stars are burning bright
The smoke is rising high
The stripes are on the street
From the mountain to the sea

'Cause friend you've done me wrong
Left the spoils to the strong
And preyed upon the weak
There's an end to you and me

'Cause a friend can understand
That there's no trust to be had
You're just bouncing on your strings
A puppet on a screen

I'm not sure when you left
But it started with that theft
It seems it's been so long


2.A Dream For Us

Lyricist:Christopher Crisci, Aaron Pillar, Marcus Young

'Cause what I feel inside that I don't want to hide
It's you that got to me and it's what I want to sing
'Cause I've got a dream for us running through my mind
Sitting on the beach looking at the sea

And we're old and tired and time has made us smile now
As we go on, can't do a thing, people and their pain
And we're not the only ones, there's hundreds on the shore
Looking at the sea, but it's just you and me

If the day never comes, I'll sink beneath the tide
Will you still be with me or disappear?


3.Ice Heavy Branches

Lyricist:Christopher Crisci, Aaron Pillar, Marcus Jordan Young

It's all in the air, it covers everything
Now it's coming down, now it's on the brink

It turns the trees to diamond things
But it weighs too much, breaks everything

We could both be naked now and innocent
We could both be naked now and innocent

It breaks everything
It breaks everything

Everything breaks under all it's weight
And it's covered us, we could strip it off

We could both be naked now and innocent
We could both be naked now and innocent

It breaks everything
It breaks everything


4.The Page

Lyricist:Christopher Crisci, Aaron Pillar, Marcus Jordan Young

I'm tired of waiting in this hollow state
Pushing aside things I want to say
It's taking my all to get out of bed
I'm pouring another drink to feel myself dead
Page is blank my pen is down, I'm working it out

It's been a while I've something to say
But my page is blank, my pen is down, I'm working it out
There's this feeling inside that's coming out
My page is blank my pen is down, I'm working it out

Put the pen to the paper but it wouldn't move
My page is blank, my pen is down, I'm working it out


5.Fight Song

Lyricist:Christopher Crisci, Aaron Pillar, Marcus Jordan Young

And there on the stairs, standing there
Arm outstretched, point and glare
Watching the love fall to our feet
Into the floor to disappear

We're finding fault, when you kissed her
Or you slept with him, or you didn't care
Now it all breaks, disintegrates
Well this is the last thing I'll take

'Cause I can't face you now
This is the end, there's nothing to keep
This is the end of you and me

As the ice comes down it's the end
As the lies come out it's the end
As the tears flow out it's the end
It's the end of you and me

So we'll look out on the lake
And we see the white light
I said it was gold
It should have been gold

Then maybe all the crazy things you said
Would have a meaning
But this thing we have made
It can't stop, no, it won't stop

'Cause I can't face you now
Take your troubles solo, take your troubles solo
This is the end of you and me
Take your troubles solo, take your troubles solo
This is the end of you and me

As the ice comes down it's the end
As the lies come out it's the end
As the tears come out it's the end
It's the end of you and me

As the ice comes down it's the end
As the lies come out it's the end
As the tears come out it's the end
It's the end of you and me


6.Losing Touching Searching

Lyricist:Christopher Crisci, Aaron Pillar, Marcus Jordan Young

There's no sign, there's no sign
There's no chance we'll get there in time
Couldn't find a place that night
We were lost and stuck together
We were lost with ourselves
And we were lost with each other

Where's this place we need to be?
Where's this place we need to see?

There's no sign, there's no sign
There's no chance we'll get there in time

If we could've found another place
To see ourselves and crack the code
We could've made them know
There's no signs on that road

Caught in the space below
With no signs of where to go
Your heart is just another road
Another place that I can't go

So we sit and contemplate
The world's become a big mistake
Here we are in the middle
Trying to work out this riddle


7.Innocent Vigilant Ordinary

Lyricist:Christopher Crisci, Aaron Pillar, Marcus Jordan Young

Oh, no, I said, I think about the times
The way you smile at me and how we always kiss
And how we drank the sun and killed the night
And fought the sleep and won and how we left it all unmade
It was only once

Now there's more than one, no, there's only one
Now there's more than one
You're the only one, you're the only one
You're the only one

It's good to see that you are doing well
And well enough to be laughing here with me
'Cause what we did there's no excuse for it
You know I love you so and it hurts to know what I did
It was only once

I want you to know that I'll always love you
And always be your friend and never leave you again
The past is past us now so we can go
And we can move ahead I hope this letter gets read
If just only once


8.Sinking

Lyricist:Christopher Crisci, Aaron Pillar, Marcus Jordan Young

I get the feeling that I'm sinking in you
Your hands go through me as I'm trying to
Think back on a better time
Like watching water in a rising tide

You'd not know me right now
You'd think that I was a man wanting to drown
Shaking words in my fists
Pointing to all of the things that I won't resist

Pouring out my heart
And pouring one more drink to keep it calm
'Coz I think I've hit the brink
And this is all I can take to keep going on
And going on, going on


9.How Life Can Turn

Lyricist:Christopher Crisci, Aaron Pillar, Marcus Jordan Young

Out there in the yard now
Playing with their dad
I'm amazed at how alike you are

See now the strangeness
'Cause I feel so many things
All at once it's wonderful to see

The smiles are everywhere
The cold's gone from the air
The sun shines as they play
The smile won't wipe away

They're laughing at you
Everything that you do
You open your arms to them
They run in to tackle you

It's so good to see you now
And times been good to you
It just so amazing
Your smile is shining through

Amazing how life can turn
One day to the next you know
I'll figure out where I am
And figure which way to go


10.Hello Dearest Love

Welcome home
Her eyes know
Mistakes you've made
The plans you laid

Your love, it means so much
Simple ring, your fingers touch
And break away and break away

Your smile faints, light shines through
Plan it truth, it is too soon to ignore
To ignore

But she's not here
Standing in clear
In front of you
It's just a dream

Times up, she's gone away
You had your time, but it won't stay
Not this time and not this time

And soon enough, you'll kill them all
Every chance to break your fall
You're giving in, you're giving in

But she's the one
Bright as the sun
Stops you there
Right on the stairs

And falling back
When stars are black
And stripes on fire
And stripes on fire
