If I Don't See Her

i was twenty years old when i fell in love
twenty years old when i lost her
i was much too young to go chasing you down
and down you went and i couldn't follow you
down through the dark and into the night
the sky started crying but you wouldn't cry
the trees ever slowly became undone
why are things dying. what have you done.
if i don't see her

Everybody Sleeps

you're everybody's ghost
you're a broken nail
you're the ocean: scared
you're the losing will
you're a splintered boy
after ill-repair
inside a painted room
you got lost in there.
you were the better son
you were scared of blood
you wanted everything
you wanted nothing but
you were a smoother stone
you were the thicker fog
you were scared by the cost
bloodier than lost

Rich Children

I'm a rich child
and i don't owe anyone
anything.
she's a rich girl
and she loves everyone
she don't love me.
I'm a lost child
and i don't own
anything.
she's a pretty pretty girl
and she won't ever
need me.

a colder heart than fog machines pressed against window panes won't win your heart
love is not the laws that make you think that you may get scarred for life or something like it
run around this town put dead leaves on both your arms and wrap around me
wear it down to broadway and bury all your old clothes. Be free. Be free. Be free. think of me.
lights are dimming now it's time to take my bow the curtain's closing.
no uproar, applause, tears or loud calls. just silence. it's overwhelming
hold your face into the wind. stay fast and don't let winter break you.
when it comes around and my body's in the ground. don't cry. don't cry. don't cry. be free. i'm free.

Night Terrors Pt II
02:03

When the night comes.when the night comes.
when the night comes.when the night comes.
when the night terrors come
to take you from me,
i'll soak up the darkness
and let you breath free.
don't close your eyes tight.
don't flinch in the night.
rest easy rest easy
as darkness consume me.
you punched every light out in the house
and screamed until your lungs bled out
when morning breaks the ice around your bed
i will whisper things into your head.

October
01:16
|
|||
|
there's not a song in my heart.
and i don't know if i can get better.
if the thought of october would scare you away
and the smell of fires on lawns
remind you of autumn in some other place
then i'll burn down the house with the yard.
if scarecrows and lions are fit to be tamed
maybe i'll make it through may

Mountain Girls
01:49
|

|
the word around town that the town went wild again
voices screaming out through the trees and back again.
they fell down, dammed the river and damned this town.
storms like this never hit the same place twice.
i heard in my dream that the girls that went
down to the lake and never were found
clothes, belongings, and cars were left by the docks
nobody knows what happened to them
so they set out with dogs
to find them.
these mountain girls.
these mountain girls.
these mountain girls.

The Zigzags of the Road

|

|
days go by so fast
i'm older now than i'll ever be
fading with the seasons
i'll be old and gone again
if you'd hold it in
don't say it till you mean it now.
you mean it now when you say it now:
"I must go
with the ebb and flow
the wolves in the road
are calling me.
and i really must be
answering their calls."

Lights In Buildings
03:41
|
|||
|
in the hospital bed i'll be just fine
when i awake i want to run outside
take the tubes from both my arms
rush into the snow without my coat on
and the buildings light the sky
run with me through traffic one more time
time stands still for you
everything is haunted still.
everything was beautiful
and nothing hurt. nothing ever will.
it is gonna take a lot to burn this building down
it is gonna take a lot to burn this building down
it is gonna take a lot to burn this building down
it is gonna take a lot to burn this building down

Sleep

if you find my body by the river
in the muddy banks of the river
push my body out into the water
float a little while in the water
i'll sleep alone tonight. if that makes you feel better
if you fall asleep without hearing from me just know that i'll be
around in case you drown tonight in the river
and i just want the best for you. that'll be the best for me too
i've been driving out to sea too long.
i've seen the light. it makes me feel better
about sleeping in.
i'm not afraid of the voices in my head
even if they don't go away
i won't let them keep you awake
sleep. sleep. darling, sleep
and in the morning all the bad things will go away
and if i don't make it out
at least i'm still
surrounded
all by myself
I'm all alone.
and i'm drifting out to sea
