This is probably about pigeons.

Lyrics:
Would it be best – if we’re no longer able
to tie up all loose ends – to leave her up there on the table
I hope they fix the mess, I hope her family doesn’t hate her
I hope the smell is gone before a new one moves in later
We should be so glad to have it all over so quick
Instead the fallen bird lies broken and the hangman called in sick
Heart is spilling out; don’t think she left it there for you
What a risk to take for a sliver of the moon
I hope she’s gone when I come by tomorrow
Ignore her in the morning and just close your eyes round four or five
I take a peak – I must – see what she left right there for you
Just some feathers in the wind: now what are you gonna do?
We should be so glad to have it all over so quick
Instead the fallen bird lies broken and the hangman called in sick
Heart is spilling out; don’t think she left it there for you
What a risk to take for a sliver of the moon


Sliver Of The Moon

One man, one guitar, one take, one chance to not listen to this.

Seriously, you probably shouldn't...

What's in your head?

There's more to life than just ants

Lyrics:
Get off your ass, it’s time to settle down
Swallow your pride and make your belly round
Chase the sun before it all goes south
It’s hard to walk with two feet in your mouth
Get over it, it’s taken long enough
It’s not like you have ever had it rough
There’s an art in knowing when to stop
The trick is never saying I give up
Make your bed and lay your head to rest
You’ll wake up soon enough
I’d climb every wall to be with you
Tear down every home to be with you
I’d step out of my skin to be with you
But I need to find myself to be with you
Get off your ass, it’s time to walk it off
You’ve lost the right to say that it was love 
Kill the fear before it all goes south
It’s hard to talk when you don’t use your mouth
Make your bed and lay your head to rest
You’ll wake up soon enough

Soon Enough

Get to your burrow
The fox is coming
Head back towards your burrow
Crows are flying overhead
Discard your sorrow
Soon you’ll be running
If tomorrow you’re still around
you can pick up where you left

Run fast
It’s not yet over
Run hard
And don’t look back
Run like you’ve never run before
Your future’s breathing down your neck

Your feet are slipping
You head feels heavy
The fear is gripping your lungs 
And squeezing out the air
Your heart is skipping
The beats get louder
You need to finish what you start
You need to be before you’re dead

Get up
It’s not yet over
Don’t stay down
Always push back 
Fight like you’ve never fought before
Your future’s breathing down your neck
Watch the sky
It’ll soon be over
Take a breath
And savour it
Be alive like you’ve never been before
Your future’s never coming back


Just Outside The Rabbit Hole

"Watch me sleep"
Spoken like the truest words
Tranquil expression on the smoothest canvas
"Don't stay long"
A kindness in your revery
Nonetheless withholding me the night intended

I won't be long
"I won't be long," I tell you
I won't be long
"I won't be long," I tell you

"Keep me safe
Shield me from the world outside"
These are the words I hear despite the silence
In the dark
You're barely just a silhouette
A vague impression of a future phantom

"Watch me sleep"
Spoken like the truest words
I hear it clearly though your voice is hidden
"Don't stay long
Lay with me and take in the night
There aren't many who'll embrace the silent"

I won't belong
I won't belong, I tell you
I won't belong
I won't belong, I tell you

In Your Revery

Tragedy (Bee Gees)

Crackle of the branches - Feet are stomping down
Children running, playing, screaming, kicking leaves around

People gather separately - They speak in hollow hymns
Talk of staying all night or until their lights go dim

Noose is such a strong word - It carries so much weight
I hang down by the water, where the view is always great

Noose is such a long term - It stretches ever thin
I hang down by the water - Someday I might go in

Pulling on the sinew - Moving all about
Walking half in tandem, to the image of a sound

Staring at the shadow of an autumn painted tree
Standing on the carpet of the things you used to see

Noose is such a strong word - It carries so much weight
I hang down by the water, where the view is always great

Noose is such a long term - It stretches ever thin
I hang down by the water - Someday I might go in

Down By The Water

On the surface it may seem like this song is mostly about cold floors, but the truth is that it's predominantly about cold floors.

Lyrics:
The light is kinda bright but the bed is warm and the floor is cold
I must be getting older; I keep forgetting how I have never been so old
Where would I end up if I didn't switch to second-guessing every other thought?
I think the key to life is regretting your mistakes and making sure you make enough.

We know we shouldn't
but we think we should
and the hell, what would it
if it goes down smooth?
We know we wouldn't
what some people would
and to hell, let's do it
if it goes down good

The air is kinda stale but I wait it out, maybe it gets better
Ignore the smell of rust and endure the dust in this lovely weather
The pressure in my head is forcing me to fake consent to a new beginning
For tomorrow let's agree that we'll all pretend that we're new to sinning

We know we shouldn't
but we think we should
and the hell, what would it
if it goes down smooth?
We know we wouldn't
what some people would
and to hell, let's do it
if it goes down good

Cold Floors, Warm Beds

Never be unsure of it
This world is not the place for you to be
Nothing but unpleasant things
The picture's off, as clearly you can see
You might have figured you could change
or rearrange the framing of the scene
It's obvious that you can never be the way
you should have let us been

And we are,
yes we are that vain
And we are,
yes we are insane
And we'll keep,
and we'll keep

It is what it is, they say
and maybe it is only what it seems
You saw a little crack in there
reality was bursting at the seams
But did it have to be fantastical,
and wonderful, a god-forsaken dream?
It's obvious that you can never be the way
you should have let it been

And we are,
no we are not good
You are so,
so misunderstood
But we'll keep,
yes, we'll keep
