Pearl Jam - Never Destination

Blisters on my fingers,.. Blisters on my brain
Blisters on the voices,... Crazy makes insane

There’s an angry sea,.. An ocean in my eyes
The waves are rolling,.. I’m becoming blind

I won’t be taken,.. Won’t take myself
Kicking and screaming, have to knock me off the shelf

Feels like illusion,.. This taking place?
Disease of confusion,.. Stripped of our grace

Don’t wanna believe it,.. These endless miles
Never destination, Just MORE DENIAL

Some resolution,.. Some justice tied
To this collusion hiding in plain sight

Off in the distance,.. Leviathans
50 foot and breaking on our innocence

Don’t wanna believe it,.. These endless miles
Never destination, Just MORE DENIAL

I can’t believe it,.. These endless lies
Never destination, just MORE DENIAL

WHEN YOU MAKE THE DROP,.. THE GAPING MAW
Keeps us alive,.. Should we survive

Thank you Bob Honey,.. Thanks Paul Theroux
If I ever die, to this place let me go

Off in the distance,.. Leviathans
50 foot and breaking on my innocence

I won’t be taken,.. Won’t take myself
Kicking and screaming, have to knock me off the shelf

Say see-ya later,.. Never say goodbye
This is a little trick I play on my own mind

Don’t wanna believe it,.. These endless miles
Never destination, Just MORE DENIAL
She was a singer in a rock-n-roll band
Had command of all her voices

Turned herself into a hologram
It all came down to choices

So I say til then,.. Never say goodbye
A little trick I play,.. On my mind

Pearl Jam - Superblood Wolfmoon

Superbloodwolfmoon,.. took her away too soon

I can hear ya,.. singing in the distance
I can see ya when I close my eyes

Once you were somewhere,.. and now you’re everywhere
I’m feeling selfish and I want what's right

Ask for forgiveness,.. I beg of myself
Feeling angry, knock it off the shelf

Right now I feel,.. A lack of innocence
Searching for reveal,.. hypnotonic resonance

But I feel,.. not much of anything
And the cause is life or death

Don’t allow for hopelessness, focus on your focusness
I’ve been hoping that our hope does last

I don’t know anything, I question everything
This life I love is going way too fast

Both my hands are swollen, my face is broken
And I'm hoping that I hurt your,.. Fist

She was a stunner and I am stunned
The first thought and second thought was could be the one

I was a prisoner, her keys and her cuffs
Yeh, I was feeling fortunate to be locked up

But the world kept a spinning, always felt like it was ending
And love notwithstanding, we are each of us fucked

I can hear ya,..

SuperbloodWolfmoon,.. took her away too soon

I can hear ya,.. singing in the distance
I can see ya when I close my eyes

Once you were somewhere,.. and now you're everywhere
I’m feeling selfish and I want what's right

Focus on your focusness, don't allow for hopelessness
I’ve been hoping that our hope does last

I don't know anything, I question everything
This life I love is going way too fast

Pearl Jam - Quick Escape

Reconnaissance on the corner
In the old world not so far
First we took an aeroplane
Then a boat to Zanzibar

Queen cranking on the blast
And mercury did rise
Come along where we all belonged
You were yours and I was mine

Had to,... QUICK ESCAPE
Had to,... QUICK ESCAPE

Crossed the border to Morocco
Kashmir then Marrakech
The lengths we had to go to then
To find a place Trump hadn't fucked up yet

Living life on the back porch
Lifting rocks to make a wage
Every sunset paid attention to
Not a starry night went to waste

Had to,... QUICK ESCAPE
Had to,... QUICK ESCAPE

And here we are, the red planet
Craters across the skyline
A sleep sack in a bivouac
And a Kerouac sense of time

And we think about the old days
Of green grass, sky and red wine
Should’ve known, so fragile
And avoided this one way flight

Pearl Jam - Seven O'Clock

7 o’clock in the morning, got a message from afar
Down under an oasis where there are dreams still being born
And summer spoke to winter relaying all encouraging words
And I was fully grateful mutant messages were heard

Moved on from my despondency and left it in the bed
Do I leave it there still sleeping or maybe kill it better yet?
For this is no time for depression or self indulgent hesitance
This fucked up situation calls for all hands, hands on deck

Freedom is as freedom does and freedom is a verb
They giveth and they taketh and you fight to keep that what you’ve earned
We saw the destination, got so close before it turned
Swim sideways from the undertow and do not be deterred

FLOODLIGHT DREAMS GO DRIFTING PAST
ALL THE LINES WE COULD'VE HAD
DISTANT LOVES FLOATING ABOVE
CLOSE THESE EYES, THEY'VE SEEN ENOUGH

Caught the butterfly, broke its wings and put it on display
Stripped of all its beauty once it could not fly high away
Still alive like a passer-by overdosed on gamma rays
Another “Gods” creation destined to be thrown away

Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse come forged the north and west
Then there’s Sitting Bullshit as our sitting president
Talking to his mirror, what's he say, what's it say back?
A tragedy of errors, who’ll be last to have a laugh?

HIS BEST DAYS GONE, HARD TO ADMIT
THROWING ANGRY PUNCHES, WITH NOTHING TO HIT
LUMINOUS THOUGHTS WERE ONCE ALL HE HAD
FADING LIGHTS, LOST ELOQUENCE
THERE'S STILL A FIRE IN THE ENGINE ROOM
KNOWS RELIEF WILL BE COMING SOON

What’s to be done
Carve a path for rivers reign
Much to be done
Oceans rising with the waves

Held by these thoughts
They refuse to slip away
Hangman in dreamland
About to call your name

MUCH TO BE DONE… MUCH TO BE DONE

Pearl Jam - River Cross

I always thought I’d cross that river
The other side, distant now
As I got close it turned and widend
Horizon now, fading out

Drifting off in the undertow
Can’t spot a figure on dry land
And afterthoughts of safety
When in truth, none to be had,...
None to be had

I used to tell time by my shadow
Til the thunderclouds, they took the stage
These days will end as do the lights rays
Another read of the same page

Wide awake through this deepest night
Still waiting on the sun
As the hours seem to multiply
Find a star to soldier on
Living beneath a lion's paw
Knowing nothing can be tamed,...
Can be tamed

I want this dream to last forever
A wish denied to lengthen our time
I wish this moment was neverending
Let it be a lie that all futures die

While the government thrives on discontent
And there's no such thing as clear
Proselytizing and profitizing
As our will all but disappears

Folded over, forced in a choke hold
Outnumbered and held down
All of this talk of rapture
Look around at the promise NOW,...
Here and now

Won’t hold us down,... WON’T HOLD US DOWN
Share the light,..... WON’T HOLD US DOWN
Won’t hold us down,... WON’T HOLD US DOWN
Share the light,..... WON’T HOLD US DOWN

Pearl Jam - Dance Of The Clairvoyants

Confusion is...to commotion
What love is...to our devotion
Imperceptibly big, big as the ocean
And equally hard to control
So save your predictions
And burn your assumptions
Love is friction
Ripe for comfort
Endless equations
And tugging persuasions
Doors open up
To interpretation
Expecting perfection leaves a lot to ignore
When the past is the present and the future’s no more
When every tomorrow is the same as before
The looser things get...the tighter you become
The looser things get...tighter
The solitary man...not greater than the sum
That’s not a negative thought, I’m positive. Positive. Positive.
Falling down...not staying down
Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down
Drown in the river
Expectin’ perfection...etc.
Numbers keep falling off the calendars floor
Stuck in our boxes, windows open no more
Collecting up the forget-me-nots
Not recalling what they are for
I’m in love with clairvoyants cause they’re out of this world
