You know I found it false
That I could meet the boss and be disabled
I thought that I was born again
Not gonna sin again
I guess that was a fable
Now heavens off the table
You know Laurel I’m looking for you
But I wont break this anchor
Can’t even seem to stay afloat while on my own
I just sink baited
Waiting to be plated
You know I felt so haunted when you found it hard to see me
Where are you I’m wanting to make a little money
So we can save to find it out
And bribe this doubt
You know Laurel I’m needing you
Just like I need an anchor
I always seem to drift away into the gray
I guess I’ll be a stranger
Just to keep the danger
You know I felt so haunted that you could find it daunting to see me
Where are you I’m wanting to make a little money
So we can live to find it out
And bribe this doubt
You know I found it false
That I could be at fault and be enabled
I thought that I was born again
Not gonna sin again
I guess that was a fable

Willow

Weeping willow in the yard
Rooted deep he felt so far
From his love across the garden
There were apples falling from her arms
Rosy greens now picked by all
The silent willow stood in awe awe awe
Her beauty reigned through summer days
Linton nights Cambridge haze
The winter willing he felt her glow glow glow
Struck by a warmth he’d never known
He waited long for the wind to come
Tired arms from reaching towards his sun
He stretched his arms and so did she
Longing for a breeze that would never leave
He was jealous of that vine up on the wall
On the shadows of his lover’s arms
Willow, he fought to grow grow grow
He sought the love he’d never known
Now he waited long for the rain to fall
Tired arms from reaching towards his sun
He stretched his roots and so did she
Longing for the day they’d finally meet
Oh they were longing for the day their love could be

All Is Well

I know what it is but I'm hoping that all is well
No harvest to greet but it's still my heart to sell
I put everything I had into something that didn't grow
Like going on a wild hunt shooting arrows without a bow
But Lord you know it's true
I only wanna be with you
Oh you know it's true
I only wanna be with you
Death is stopping by and I'm hoping it's not too late
A filthy bishop to thank shaking hands into a fatal stalemate
Trading riches for love knock a year or two off of the pen
Still got a hundred left to serve staring hopeless uncork the gin
But Lord you know it's true
I only wanna to be with you
Oh you know it's true
I only wanna be with you
Cause all your love I left it at the door
Don't stop the skies let them rain let them pour
All your love I left it at the door
Don't stop your heart let it rain let it pour
Don't stop these tears let them rain
Let them pour
Oh let them pour
Oh let them pour
And let them pour
Woe is me
Weary soul heathen breed
Your love in my heart feels like the ocean breeze
Your love in my heart feels like the ocean breeze

I would have never been repaired
You took the featured dying dare
It’s been three months I’m coming to see you my dear
I cannot fall asleep
You’re my lonely amphetamine
Can’t help what we’re becoming
Still hear our old hearts humming
You lower your guard to be turned down
You’ll fight through your war for a torn crown
I cannot fall asleep
You’re my distant amphetamine
Won’t stop what we’re becoming
Still hear our old hearts humming
You lower your guard for a torn crown
You’ll fight through your war to be turned down
You’ve lived from a far in a foreign town
But I know I’ll find some sleep
You’re my favorite part of morning
And I know I’ll find my peace
When you’re my sunshine honey

No matter where I go I’m only going with you
Just be patient honey it’ll all soon come true
Been breaking down along Norwegian towns we’re doomed
My old minds been wondering why it’s taken so long to plant this bloom
Cause I took the long road to find you wanting me
And I kept shutting you out when I’d fought you to stay here
I don’t mind treading water to hold you near
My minds been blind and needs to change
Lets restart, I’m coming home now with my whole heart
Just be patient honey what is lost will construe
You know I will never tire of following you
Whether the feelings fade or you’ve forgotten the flame
One thing will always be left unchanged
That I took the long road to find you wanting me
And I kept shutting you out when I’d fought you to stay here
I don’t mind treading water to hold you over the waves of my debris
My minds been blinded by this grime
Oh what a wonderful lie
To be the best one made in your eyes
My oh my
Oh what a wonderful lie
To be the best one made in your eyes
I’m gonna try to hear your wholesome cry

Incarcerated

We’ll cut breaks of this fear now
Won’t fall a slave to the dark that’s growing here
Don’t look away from the home that we built
From the start
In our hearts
Through our dying woes we’ll swim
From the crying holes within
I wanna fight
Let’s hit the road we’ll be alright
We’ll find a place where we are whole
Where we are
When this darkness feels so near
Don’t be incarcerated by fear
There there my dear
Our love is here
When this darkness feels so real
I wont be incarcerated my dear

Elephants
02:21
|

|
The sun it rises
Only to reveal snow fields
With no surprises
We’re frozen
Nothing left to feel
But we can find a place
That’s warm
Chip away the rocks
Lets bloom
Become undone
Under a tree
Wind blowin we felt good
Just let us be
Don’t sell that all for wood
They’re rich in ivory we’re told
To kill those elephants for gold

Sea So blue

I never know what to say to you
And I don’t know if I’ll ever get through
Lord, throw out a rope or sing back to me
My indolence is hungry
You know I wanna get back to that home
Where I was gonna see you again
Or maybe we’re goin alone
I don’t know if it ever returns
But I need truth
What’s a stood stone to do?
I needed you
Drowning here in a sea so blue

Man of little wealth king of yourself
You’ll greet the grave to find your way
In gaining that crown of which you’re well endowed
I know that you’re proud to let the rest of us drown
Because I can see you looking down from your highest shelf
You fill your frame with the king of your best self
I know you’ve been exposed by the pain you hold so close
Get out of your shell before you’re just a lonesome ghost
Sweet misery on the day when the dust leaves
You gotta get up and break free
You’ve been walking a fine line
To make your conscience feel right
Worn by the critical blind eye
It was only a white lie
But you bought it that you’re damned to fail
Forget the gold frames that you hang on your string
In a moment even a ghost can change
Don’t ever forget what’s been trapped underneath
Sweet victory on the day when my dust leaves
I gotta get up and break free
I’ve been walking a fine line
To make my conscience feel right
Worn by the critical blind eye
But I pay them no mind cause its about time
But you bought it that you’re damned to fail
Forget the gold frames that you hang on your string
In a moment even a ghost can change
Don’t ever forget what’s been trapped underneath

You And Me
04:26

Sinking down into the devil’s pew
Where all my thoughts were spent on you
I was leaning forward
But falling out the back door
Why am I easily torn from what I know is true
And I’m afraid to change my heart into something that I can’t tame
And I don’t wanna blame the haze that makes the patterns feel the same
Its ‘just you and me for now
You and me from now on
Still breaking bread under the devil’s thumb
Where my cold heart was almost won
I’ve been leaning forward
But falling out the back door
Why am I so often torn from what I know is you
And I don’t wanna blame the haze that makes the patterns feel the same
It’s just you and me for now
You and me from now on
From the floor I wanted more
No I don’t wanna fall on my own sword
You and me for now
Just you and me for now
You and me for now
You and me for now
