Not the End
02:47
|
|||
bold faced lies every night
i can’t help but to deny the ugly truth
and all its harsh light
one thing i know, it’s not the end
it’s not the end of emptiness
hold me tight every night
i can’t help but to deny your loving light
and all the signs in sight
one thing i know, it’s not the end
it’s not the end of emptiness
it feels surreal in the final hour
it’s true i do envy your power
it culminates and finally shatters
when the glass breaks will i still cower?
one thing i know, it’s not the end
it’s not the end of emptiness

oh veronica,
hide behind your hurt
make up all new rules
in another world
they don’t understand
this goes hand in hand
sometimes i miss when you’d lie to me
cause it was all so simple
i feel sick feel sick
oh veronica, i feel sick feel sick
oh veronica
hide behind your hurt
make up all new rules
in another world
rockabye to sleep
sink into the depth
would it count
if you held me while we held our breath?
oh veronica, i feel sick feel sick

Cowboy Song

The truth hangs from the dove
I'll catch it from above
I'll pick the withered flower
in its final hour
and pretend like it's still the spring
I grieve for him
and I mourn for me
I yearn for you
so that makes three
Oh darling !
I thought I had you for a minute
That you'd come back to this place
and find our new beginnings
Oh god
you're so pretty
truly something to witness
oh god
I thought you'd remember
Growing up again
soon-to-be-innocent
-fun * while it lasted
but it seems we're out of time
Stuck in static
and we're lying in the light
I was hungry for the second time
Oh darling
I thought I had you for a minute
that you'd come back to this place
and find our new beginnings
oh god
you're so pretty
truly something to witness
Oh god
It hurts to remember

Little Apartment
02:34
|
|||
Artie taught me to sing out clear
in the mud of the heat wave
sylvia taught me to sing out clear
when there is no other way
to face what come near
Shadowed by the sounds echoing
in your eyes white lies
sharp knives beckoning
I'm not afraid
in this little apartment
send you away
and i'll break my own heart now
go in circles
in this little apartment
well you know I'll say
I'm going to sleep now
Artie taught me to sing out clear
in the mud of the heat wave
Johnny taught me to sing out clear
when there is no other way
to say what i mean
shadowed by the hounds listening
in the field through the barn
it keeps echoing
I am afraid
(in your eyes white lies)
in this little apartment
(sharp knives beckoning)
Did I scare you away?
(and your eyes remind, a harsh reckoning)
Does your heart still ache now?
Go in circles
(shadowed by the hounds listening)
in this little apartment
(in the field through the barn)
You know I'll say
it's already tomorrow
(it keeps echoing)
I'm going to sleep now

Runs Deeper
02:44
|
|||
can you feel what's coming now?!
One more hill
we're running up
I am not quite as lonesome as I thought
It runs deeper than you know
I can tell your blood runs cold
Learned to be so lonely
but couldn't stop the glory
of standing up
we're one with many arms
It runs deeper, runs deeper than you know
Runs deeper, I could tell your blood runs cold
Runs deeper, it's gotta crush your fucking soul
to know well what it means to be alone

Omen
02:54
|
|||
my parents are regular people
they sit outside
look at the sky
my friends are regular people
drink beer
smoke cigarettes
go to work, spend the money
but my sweetheart
a he’s the special one for me
omen in the yard
seems brighter than the rest
i could feel it in my chest
i will love you in the end
look to the mountains
they seem to know best
they stand up straight and tall
like mother insists
yeah mother knows best
i’m just a regular guy
with a light and dark side
like the moon and the tide
i will stay by your side
if i leave this behind
and become a new man
with a new set of hands
and my head screwed on straight
would you still love me then?
omen in the yard
speaks louder than all the rest
i could feel it in my chest
i will love you in the end

Stark
01:39
|
|||
strange forest in the dark
still seems to hold your mark
limbs twist into
a picture of you
it’s so stark
waiting for the dawn again
when it’s all that i have left
first the crack and then the sound
then the light comes pouring out
it’s so stark

Bird of Prey
02:48
|
|||
misaligned dangerous mind starts to crumble
peace of mind and anger unite in the rubble
in time all the complexities will unravel
in time ill find the light in the shadow
the day they always feared
set in without them knowing
lay down and watch the bird of prey
and its endless circling
hear the echo in the hollow
behind your mother's house
the sound she spoke about
rattles around your head
misaligned dangerous mind starts to crumble
peace of mind and anger unite in the rubble

Shoulders
03:23
|
|||
my shoulders broaden every day i am alive
bottleneck trap in my head will make sense with time
how much of this life will disappear into the fold?
reach through the fog to find somebody to hold
at arms length
made out to be loudly self maintaining
with my feet on the ground
sturdy machine
rusty, loaded, weighed down with rocks*,
with my feet on the ground
it’s ugly and dark
my shoulders broaden every day i am alive
bottleneck trap in my head will make sense with time
how much of this life will disappear into the fold?
i don’t know if i can take it, i can take it, till i can take no more
made out to be loudly self maintaining
with my feet on the ground
sturdy machine
rusty, loaded, weighed down with rocks*,
with my feet on the ground
it’s ugly and dark

Tumbledown Mountain

Up on Tumbledown Mountain
I can see how mother curves
Whole world changes every season
Cold world changes you
Though I don't know if I want it to
Separate the act from the pain
My Mimi taught me how to be brave
I think of her, walking through the rain
Oh, Emma Jane
I miss my best friend, that's her name
Oh, Emma Jane

Another Way
01:44
|
|||
Another dime another day another way to die
Well I won't mind if you use me to pass the time
look for a sign
well I'm still here aren't I?
The moon light shines so bright into your eyes
red and white !
You'll excuse me if I start to cry
just one more time
cuz you're still here by my side
No burning bush to light the way
another day just barely scraping by
yeah you abused me
to make your life feel like a lie
Well Im still here aren't I?
Another dime another day another way to die
well I won't mind if you use me to pass the time
Look for a sign
well I'm still here aren't I?
