Tomorrow Night
04:25
|
|||
|
Window holds the horizon
Your arms pull me inside
I hear the beating of your heart
Clouds roll free and defiant
They call
Come with us a fly
I fear the breaking of your heart
I know the reason that you’ll cry
Tomorrow night
The face you see deceives you
The smile you kiss tastes empty
Most of me has left your side
No note no word no sorry
I’m more-or-less a coward
I wish that I could dry your eyes
Tomorrow night
I hear the breaking of your heart
I am the reason that you’ll cry
Tomorrow night

Wrapped in Your White
03:52
|
|||
|
I wrote you a letter soon after our great divide
I put pen to paper and I carved up my life
And in it I told you all my secrets
I confessed to you my lies
And it was freedom for me, baby
From the sorrows now left behind
When the storm breaks and the sun rules the sky
Like an angel you appear to me, take me in your arms
And wrap me in your white
The words you read were buried deep in my heart
I kept them hidden from the world all of my life
Until the day you lost faith in me
The day I tore us apart
I’m calling out to you
Can’t you hear my cry
When the storm breaks and the sun rules the sky
Like an angel you appear to me, take me in your arms
And wrap me in your white

All of the World
05:17
|

|
I see the child in your eyes
I hear the stars in your voice
I feel you pull into me
Afraid that I’ll leave you alone in the night
I know the fear that you hold
Touched by love and by war
I know there’s hate and there’s rain
There’s sun and there’s pain
And we suffer it all
OOOOOH know that it takes some will and some faith
To get by on your own
and
OOOOOH know if you break you can find me up late
With a hand you can hold
I give you all of the world
I give you all of the world
It comes with blood and joy
My gift is ALL of the world
Wrapped in its muck with its stink and its shine
Go chase your heart
And fear not this grime
I look down as you sleep
As I ache with a song
I want you to believe that love is supreme
And there is good in us all
But
OOOOOH know that it takes some will and some faith
To get by on your own
and
OOOOOH know if you break you can find me up late
With a hand you can hold
I give you all of the world
I give you all of the world
It comes with blood and joy
My gift is ALL of the world
Wrapped in its muck with its stink and its shine
And OOOOOH know that it takes some will and some faith
To get by on your own
and
OOOOOH know if you break you can find me up late
With a hand you can hold
I give you all of the world
I give you all of the world
It comes with blood and joy
My gift is ALL of the world
My gift is ALL of the world
Wrapped in its muck with its stink and its shine
Go chase your heart
And fear not this grime

Skinny Soul
04:54
|
|||
|
I told you I’d leave you
I didn't deceive you
I often worried that you just fed on my faith
On my faith
Words that were spoken
Have lost all meaning
Our conversations have always
traveled one way
Just one way
Now’s the time for me to go
Pack my prayers and skinny soul
Father, Son, and Missing Ghost
We all know
It’ll be better this way
We build you fine houses
We sing your praises
We pray for mercy
While you reign with disdain
For what you made
Heaven can have you
I no longer need you
I’ve empty the chalice that for years has
tasted like shame
All your shame
That you laid on me
Now’s the time for me to go
Pack my prayers and skinny soul
Father, Son, and Missing Ghost
We all know
It’ll be better this way
I told you I’d leave you
I didn’t deceive you
Our conversations have always
Traveled one way

Brother in Arms
05:39
|

|
Brother in arms...You’ve gone to the other side
My brother in arms…You flow with the ebbing tide
The time was…
We walked arm-in-arm
Through the yellow fields
With fire flies
In Mason jars
Oh the time was…
We raced arm-in-arm
Down the faded paths
At dizzying speeds
With Banshee cries and blazing feet
But time makes us friends in the Nevermore
And time is the enemy of all we know
Brother in arms...You’ve gone to the other side
My brother in arms…You flow with the ebbing tide
The time was…
We drank arm-in-arm
In the black of night
Letting silence speak
And embers die
Oh the time was…
We stood arm-in-arm
And we raised a glass
And made a toast
To loving brides and the Holy Ghost
But time makes us friends in the Nevermore
And time is the enemy of all we know
Brother in arms...You’ve gone to the other side
My brother in arms…You flow with the ebbing tide
The time was…
We lived arm-in-arm
And we tackled death
With tears of strength
Through sleepless nights
And childish winks
But the paths we met
Had different kings
So we shook our hands
And we promised things
Then we mapped our lives
Down separate roads
We pitched our tents
In different zones
And the decades passed
‘Cause the years got old
And we slipped the cracks
And we lost our hold
When I saw your face
It’s not the one I knew
When I heard your words
Then I understood…
That time made us friends in the Nevermore
‘Cause time is the enemy of all we know
Brother in arms
Brother in arms
Brother in arms
My brother in arms…

When She Moves
04:31
|
|||
|
I felt the Earth in my feet
Through my legs made of stone
Oh unmovable and deep
As she came on a storm
And like a river she moved
Oh eroding me
And like a river she moved
And it removed me
Moved me
I never kissed a dance floor
I’m bathed in shadows
I’ve always stood alone
To die where I was born
Until she rode that storm
I plunged my feet in the sea
And shot my hands to the sky
Ohhh alive and unleashed
As she came from the sky
And like a river she moved
Oh eroding me
And like a river she moved
And it removed me
Moved me
I never kissed a dance floor
I’m bathed in shadows
I’ve always stood alone
To die where I was born
I never kissed a dance floor
I’m bathed in shadows
I’ve always stood alone
To die where I was born
I’m not gunna die here
When she moves
When she moves (Like a river she really moves me)

There By My Winter
05:20
|

|
Ghost in me
I dream your tears
Wrap my sleep in sorrow and hell
Long ago
You broke this heart
Buried me with flowers and fire
And there by my winter
I’ll shatter the water
That once flowed a river
That carried the alter
For you
Ghost in me
You cease to fade
Linger on
Your barbs in these veins
It’s peace I seek
Through lead and steel
Give me strength
Grant me the will
And there by my winter
I’ll shatter the water
That once flowed a river
That carried the alter
For you
Ghost in me you’ve lived to long
Ghost in me you’ve lived to long
Ghost in me you’ve lived to long
It’s peace I seek
Through lead and steel
Give me strength
Oh grant me the will

Once a Garden
03:26
|

Look at me
Once a garden
Now I’m growing weeds
In my body
They’re telling me
That my garden’s devine
In the night
When the sun’s tired
I count the days
The ones all numbered
And I drift away
To the edge of a dream
Just beneath there’s a vine that’s made a home
With a knife you cut out all that you can hold
In the end we both understood
It would all grow back again
It’ll all grow back again
It’ll all grow back again
Just beneath there’s a vine that’s made a home
With a knife you cut out all that you can hold
In the end we both understood
It would all grow back again
It’ll all grow back again
It’ll all grow back again
In my eyes
See the rain falling
It trickles down
To the ground swollen
With all the things
That my garden took from me

Deep in My Bones
04:55
|
|||
|
Strangle the words
Caught in my throat
I choked
Watching you fade
As colors turned gray
And froze
I shed no tears
I sunk them deep
Deep in my bones
If this were just a dream
What would you say to me
Swallow the trampled truth
Let me be dear to you
I’m just a lens
Watch from within
Alone
Time takes my hand
And points to your skin
My ghost
I shed no tears
I sunk them deep
Deep in my bones
If this were just a dream
What would you say to me
Follow the trampled truth
Let me be dear to you
Gone are the words
Squeezed from my throat
Time took your hand
And made you a ghost
I shed no tears
I sunk them deep
Deep in my bones
Let me be dear to you

Lay Here Long for You
03:45
|
|||
|
When the air fills with fall
When the sun shines bright no more
When the wind crawls inside
Just to steal the dying light
I will lay here long for you
I will lay here long for you
For you
When we lay face-to-face
When we whisper yesterdays
When you wake in the night
And your heart breaks down
I cry
I will lay here long for you
I will lay here long for you
For you
I will lay here long for you
I will lay here long for you
I will lay here long for you
For you
When the air fills with fall
When your light shines bright
No more
