Fire

this war is love, a sickness I can’t seem to let go
it’s in my blood and burns until I’m numb
the fire in my lungs

Home For The Summer
02:39
|
|||
love and death, always so soon
in love and death I caught a glimpse of you
it’s breaking in my chest, tell me do you feel it too?
under the weight of my whole life
as I’m ripping down the posters of this jaded trap
and I’m tearing at the corners of this faded map
that leads me home
I lost my breath in the deja vu
I lost my aim in the distant hue of red and blue
because in my wild eyes you’re just beyond my reach
under the weight of my whole life
as I’m ripping down the posters of this jaded trap
and I’m tearing at the corners of this faded map
that leads me home
this faded map that leads me home
home for the summer

1983
03:21
|

feeling like a runaway, itching in my skin
set fire to the beaten path, let all my demons win
weigh me down, from the first time to the last time
living in a memory that only you can know
play the role in reverie to a sold out house of ghosts
weigh me down, from the first time to the last time
I am choking on the fog of war
my head is full of spies, they just want more
I’m so lonely I can barely breathe
say you will, say you will remember me
remember me
my battle worn and weary eyes are fading like a firefly
in a face I don’t recognize
I am choking on the fog of war
my head is full of spies, they just want more
I’m so lonely I can barely breathe
say you will, say you will remember me
remember me

The Daughters & The Sons
03:32
|
|||
I can’t see beyond the streetlights all that stands in your way
in the haze and the dark are the lines we dare not cross
in the face of authority
this rebellion will out outshine the power and the gun
this rebellion will burn bright in our daughters and our sons
this rebellion will burn bright and echo
I try to scream and break this silence
and to stay with you until the shadow disappears
from the haze and the dark and the lines when we dare cross
in the face of authority
this rebellion will out outshine the power and the gun
this rebellion will burn bright in our daughters and our sons
this rebellion will burn bright and echo
the courage of a younger man
when the love you held so tight begins to fade
at the moment when you heart begins to break
we’re not leaving, we’re not waiting for the world to change
this rebellion will out outshine the power and the gun
this rebellion will burn bright in our daughters and our sons
this rebellion will burn bright and echo
the courage of a young woman

Love Letter To New York
03:53
|
|||
I woke up on an empty train, I had dreamt it was all gone
the scenery changed, the cast rearranged and I couldn’t hold on
the static on the east side still ringing in my ears
Holden Caulfield streetwise until I disappeared
emotional conduit one generation to the next
just a glimmer, just a shadow, just a moment I’m chasing after
just a mirror on a subway wall and then I’m gone
vestige of identity just an echo to the wind
signal something literal before I’m figuratively dead
forever the outsider lost in the big parade
just a glimmer, just a shadow, just a moment I’m chasing after
just a mirror on a subway wall
just a glimmer, just a shadow, just a moment I’m chasing after
just a mirror on a subway wall and then I’m gone

Dance With Old Habits
04:37
|
|||
lost and alive in New York City, traded the world for salt and sand
we made the move across the country, we left our friends and fears behind
we built our life and planned together and chose to fight until the bitter end
because we were in love and that was all we needed
until it wasn’t enough to calm my hands
I could’ve married that girl
dressed her in ribbons, diamonds and pearls
I was just one moment away from changing my life for you
she got sick and he got angry, this was life while making plans
but he wasn’t there, must’ve been distracted or too hopeless to care, we won’t understand
the dirty sex that got me twisted, that held me close then pushed me away
until I hit the bricks and you hit rock bottom
now you’re reaching for roots as they crumble to sand
I could’ve married that girl
dressed her in ribbons, diamonds and pearls
I was just one moment away from changing my life for you
when everything’s perfect ain’t good enough
we dance with old habits to prove that we should
if anyone’s leaving please let it be me
I should’ve married that girl
drowned her in kisses and gave her my world
you see, I was just one drink away
from saving my life for you, from saving my life for you
from saving my life

free falling from the web we’ve spun
and I’ve been drinking too much ever since six years came undone
Maeby, we should say goodbye
as your world unravels
and I lose what’s left of mine
I sift through shift from what we’ve built
still I’m oh so lonely in my inebriated guilt
Maeby, we should say goodbye
as your world unravels
and I lose what’s left of mine
I wish I was your favorite and best mistake
I wish you were my only
Maeby, we should say goodbye

my, are you working, are you working, yourself?
my, can you stand to be alone, love?
will you break when you settle?
will you break when you settle down?
are you feign sentimental?
will you break when you settle down?
my, are you fooling, are you fooling yourself?
my, was I the fool for wanting you, love?
will I break when I settle?
will I break when I settle down?
am I feign sentimental?
will you break when you settle?
drowning in this pool of sweat
I rid myself of blues
wash my hands of you
laying in the truth so good it hurts
will we break when settle?
will we break when we settle down?
are we stuck in the middle?
will we break when break when we settle down?
break when we settle down

Nightlife Youth
02:47

Andy, what the hell did we know?
it’s been more than ten years gone and millions of miles and I miss you so
in the glisten of the in-between shining in our nightlife moon
the mourning ebbs and flows
each morning I suppose
until tomorrow’s ready I’ll stay awake
do you still hate me? has it really been that long?
since you wiped my tears and nipped my heels when the shoulders turned cold
in the beauty of the in-between as the the sun sets on our nightlife youth
the mourning ebbs and flows
each morning I suppose
until tomorrow’s ready I’ll stay awake
in the glisten, in the beauty the sun sets on our nightlife youth
the mourning ebbs and flows
each morning I suppose
until tomorrow’s ready I’ll stay awake
I’ll stay awake with you

Delancey
03:44
|
|||
lately, I miss that place called home
where I once stole every emotion I could feel
meet me at Delancey all alone
walk with me, walk with me in the silver lights
walk with me, walk with me in the city tonight
maybe my future so far gone
I was reckless and hopelessly in bloom
my dear friend, please don’t change so fast
I know it’s selfish of me to ask of you
meet me at Delancey in the snow
walk with me, walk with me in the silver lights
walk with me, walk with me in the city tonight
I miss you and I want to but I know I can’t go back
no, I can’t go back
walk with me, walk with me in the silver lights
walk with me, walk with me in the city tonight
walk with me, walk with me in the silver lights
walk with me, walk with me in the city tonight

Cold War
02:37
|
|||
I was a babyface born for the eighties
in a Reagan-era white-flight run
head in my hands under my desk
lost in translation
with a penchant for devotion
and a vise-grip on my heart
no, I don’t, I don’t belong here
no, I don’t, I don’t belong
I was a blue-eyed Amtrak baby
born to run and born too soon
with a faulty moral compass here
that lead me straight to you
with a shotgun superstition
a heel turn for all time
no, I don’t, I don’t belong here
no, I don’t, I don’t belong, I don’t belong
replaced upon arrival just in time to watch your buildings crash and burn
no, I don’t, I don’t belong here
no, I don’t, I don’t belong
I don’t belong here, no, I don’t belong here

Stay What You Are
03:50
|

well, I could wax political, reek of nostalgia
it’s all too typical to burn out or fade away
preach poetic until the amnesia sets in
because what’s more pathetic, played out or overplayed?
can’t slow down is an anthem
but like me that sentiment has grown tired
we’re never as cool as we are in our former lives
I am what I am so stay what you are
well, I could wax symbolic, fall flat ironic
with the empty causes that left me high and dry
or plead innocent when we’re guilty as sin
of running in circles and playing it safe
your last word spoken still echos
the first words sung in my first car
ever the fool when we’re young and we feel alive
I am what I am so stay what you are
a rival city is where I met you
and who would’ve known you’d steal heart
the minutes we make hold us tight when we’re apart
I am what I am so stay what you are

The Getaway
03:35
|

burn this red night drive into desert skies
lit up skylines lose their charm
I wasn’t made to fight but I’ve been most my life
the writing’s on my arms
wait up for me, I’m still not ready, I’ll never be
kiss my lips, take away this feeling
all my love got away so easy
before I go so far away
kiss my lips, take away this feeling
I won’t return to you with these worn-out shoes
and the best excuse standing by
come on and take a chance, we’re living accidents
and we’re wasting precious time
wait up for me, I’m still not ready, I’ll never be
kiss my lips, take away this feeling
all my love got away so easy
before I go so far away
kiss my lips, take away this feeling
before I go and don’t come back again
kiss my lips, take away this feeling

DIVIDED HEAVEN Los Angeles, California
The ability for Divided Heaven to shift between a delicate Americana song to an overdrive rock sing-a-long is a testament to Jeff Berman’s songwriting abilities. Divided Heaven has an eclectic list of influences and doesn’t shy away from the challenge of incorporating those varying styles in the grand scope of the bands output. ... more
