If falling is the fashion, and grounded is pass&eacute;
A million years of failure find their banner day
Are we charming out the fetters, to breathe the poison air?
Are we lacing up and tying down a burden we could never bear?

Does what we gain outweigh the loss?
Does what we know justify the cost, this Pyrrhic day?

So what do we know, in the scope of our lives?
What can we say? We would stand here tongue-tied
And now that we've been stranded, it's obvious for all to see
That you would be the casualty...after all

I am like my father, a calloused heart of stone
Is taken out to barricade your gloomy home
I am like my brothers, this blood still lives to bleed
The impotent and irrelevant held hostage to redeem

Yet somehow we forgot...is this for show?
Or can some good still come from this day?

What do we know, in the scope of our lives?
What can we say? We would stand here tongue-tied
And now that we've been stranded, it's obvious for all to see
That you would be the casualty...after all

Have we missed the sign?
Of mercy now disclosed, the immanence of love divine
Are we left alone?
Is there life beyond our hate?
A hate that kills the only one...
You were the only one...

So what do we know, in the scope of our lives?
What the hell can we say? 
We laughed the day you died
But now that we've been stranded, it's obvious for all to see
That you would be the casualty...
Yeah I can see that you would be the casualty...
Cuz between you and me...well you will be the casualty for all.

Lyrics: 

The cars on the street are covered in snow
The world woke up white 
& we got no where to go
So we fill our coffee cups with another round
& watch the quiet streets out side as flakes fall to the ground

& we smile to each other, as the record spins around, Merry Christmas

We put our jackets on & go for a walk
the neighbors are building a snowman just down the block
& people share our smiles 
as they can relate
we’re forced to accept the things that we cannot change

So we smile to each other & say
Merry Christmas

Yeah, they called it Ice Storm 2008
We were stuck on the hill 
& so we sledded all day
Pretended work didn't ever exist
& we laughed at all the 
trouble that we were in
& we watched the bold ones 
try to leave
Like the L& Rover on Lizzie's street
As it ping-ponged off parked cars
Before the driver abandoned 
all his chances at the bottom
& we drank hot whiskey apple cider
& caught the bus down to the theatre 
was the happiest bus load 
of people alive, 
as we white-knuckle laughed 
& prayed aloud we don't die 
& there was this pervasive 
post-war feeling
Like a bomb had dropped 
& folks were reeling
But the damage was snow & ice
& it became the common ground that helped us see eye to eye

As we smiled to each other & said 
Merry Christmas

Table For Two

Exist~Dissolve

Blood in My Bones

Slowly…let this feeling linger in the air
Savor…every line and every contour
Your skin, your hair, the sight, the touch
Our shadowed forms eclipse this setting sun

Open up your twilight eyes
Let me memorize their color first
I’ll be tracing lines that you will draw
Across the oceans standing in-between

Fingers…trace the path of every fall and rise
Silence…catch your breath before the moment dies
Your face, your smile, the light, the sound
Our shadows fade into this setting sun

Open up your twilight eyes
Let me hear your song without a word
I’ll be tracing lines that you have drawn
Across the empty spaces in-between
And if I have to let go?
And I am left with only outlines
Then let me dance with your ghost
And I will trace the lines again and again

The touch, the taste, your smile, your face
This haunting memory of watching you just walk away
My heart it screams, “Why don’t I follow”?

But now it’s too late
The day is gone
So with this final sunset...

Open up your twilight eyes
Let me memorize their color first
I’ll be tracing lines that you have drawn
Across the universe that’s in-between
So if you really must go...I will cherish every outline
Just let me dance with your ghost
And I will trace the lines again, and again
And maybe in time...
And maybe in another life...
And maybe these lines...

...will lead me back to you
