Farewell (No News, Good News | mix)

Just Let It Burn

The Roast of Goatscreaming (fundraiser)

Now it’s vertigo, then moonglow
And everything feels so new
All that’s left to say is float on
and now we’re into the blue      
              
We’re already homesick but we’re not looking back
We’re equal parts elated and just numb to the facts
And we’re making time on this celestial track                       
Nothing but sky    

See the light now gently bending
and see the color decay
And the force that always bound us
its pull is slipping away     

Yes, it’s terrifying but it’s here and it’s ours
It’s electric lovers drinking heat from the stars
It’s a billion lightyears, but it isn’t that far 
A violent joy 

The moon is laughing 
The cosmos is asking

See the light now gently bending
and see the color decay
And the force that always bound us
its grip is slipping away

We’re a little stricken but we’re not looking back
We’re equal parts elated and just numb to the facts
And we’ve made good time on this celestial track
And now we’re home

Vertigo Then Moonglow

No one ever calls
Silent on the phone
Freedom tastes nice
But never seems enough

Foreign lands aside
A mountain blocks my view
I feel like I should crawl
It's all I ever do

Move in to west, leave out the south
North is in sight, always look out
Every plant or animal is
A threat to counteract
—
And the fear of the unknown
will grow all through the fields
Another number on the list

And the reason we fall
will never be revealed
just so the poison grow inside of me
–
And the fear of the unknown
will grow all through the fields
And the fear of the unknown
will grow all through the feels
–
Back to the roots we go
Back to the roots we know
Back to the roots we grow

It's where it all began
Where time and place had sex
and stated this is my race

Showing you the path
Where music rushes lives
you better pick a number for the line

Tell yourself it ain't over
your dream can still be fulfilled
just make sure to remember
the reason why you're here

Your life and raise has led you here
Your passions and hate has left you here
If have any of sort of complaint
There's you in the past, there's you in the past
—
We're going back to the roots
We're going back to the roots
We're going back to the roots
It doesn't suck as much as I thought
it would...

3. Trough The Fields / Back To Roots

Brothers and sisters stopped to rest up their feet
Dipping their blisters in those fresh Alcove springs
They laid down Sarah and they prayed her god speed
Consumption took her before she could be meat

They couldn’t stay long, there weren’t no time to grieve
Bess get to climbing, Wasatch Range is real steep
They reached the Salt lake in the late summer heat
They lost some wagons when the mud started to weep

Forlorn hope is fading
Unclaimed frontier and buried gold
Mr Hastings he was too hasty 
His new route was too dangerous and bold 
And hell followed

Mad about the natives John was pummeling Reed
But Reed pulled his hunting knife and he plunged it real deep
Hardkoop too weary for the pace they would keep
Got left by the trail and that’s the last he was seen

The Paiute raided again down at Humbolt sink
Wolfinger stopped to cache away all of his things
The Wolfingers had riches they weren’t gonna need
So Joseph shot down Karl and left his widow cash free

Forlorn hope is fading 
Unclaimed frontier and buried gold
Mr Hastings he was too hasty 
His new route was too dangerous and bold 
Oh no

They took a break at Truckee Lake in mid November
The snow that fell that night wasn’t due until December
No going forward, there weren’t no turning back 
They had no other choice except to start to set up a camp

It wasn’t long before they run out of food
They ate the dogs, they ate their shoes, they even ate the rug too
Some of the stronger members well they set out for help
But within ten days they started eating themselves

The Indian guides Salvador and Luis
Said man this ain’t natural, ain’t no way we can do this
So the group shot them dead and ate em’ day after Christmas
By then it was normal, they didn’t ask for forgiveness

Back at the camp they didn’t fare too much better
They started eating people once they ran out of leather
The harsh winter span, it had taken a toll 
And when it was over they’d eaten 21 souls

When a rescue party finally reached the undead
They found Lewis Keseberg and they found him well fed
Mrs Donner needed for help for the man that she wed
Mrs Donner looked for help over in the wrong shed

Forlorn hope is faded 
Unclaimed frontier and buried gold
Mr Hastings well he never made it 
To his new route that was dangerous and bold

Manifest, destiny, drove them from Springfield
Too hungry to ride that Oregon trail
That hunger, it doomed them, to their nightmare ordeal
Because they were destined to fail

On Donner & Bitten

Stars twinkle like eyes 
Watching behind 
The veil of night
Here I am waiting to meet you back home with the light 

Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on you 
But spend one more night without me daddy, I’m blue 

Time trickles like rain 
When can I escape 
The hourglass 
I’m facing the wind with a ghost at my back 

Fool me once, shame on you 
Fool me twice, shame on you 
But lie to me one more time baby, I’m blue

I know you’re mad because your friends already told me 
I wish you could forgive, I swear that was the old me 
I learned my lesson this time it’s for good
I know I should have listened this time I will if you would 
Just give me one more chance, I’ll never fool you again 
Come on baby, don’t be that way 

Fool me once, shame on you 
Fool me twice, shame on you 
But lie to me one more time baby
I said lie to me one more time Billy McGuire
I’m blue

LYRICS:
VERSE 1
My time
Has run out
The day has ended
And there's no colour left in me
Like a shroud
The silence wraps around me
What makes the quiet sound so loud

CHORUS 1
I know that I
Am not afraid
Of what comes after 
Don't fear the darkness
Washing over me
So shine a light
Shine a light
And give me answers
Don't know if I
Am ready to believe

VERSE 2
I've had my time
And I hope I'll be remembered 
Now take me where I have to go
(I have to go)
When nothing's left
And the flames are only embers
When will I wake up from this dream
(Wake up from this dream)

CHORUS 2
I know that I
Am not afraid
Of what comes after 
Don't fear the darkness
Washing over me
So shine a light
Shine a light
And give me answers
Don't know if I
Am ready to believe
Don't know if I
Am ready to believe
Don't know if I
Am ready to believe

CHORUS 3
I know that I
Am not afraid
Of what comes after 
Don't fear the darkness
Washing over me
So shine a light
Shine a light
And give me answers
Don't know if I
Am ready to believe
Don't know if I
Am ready to believe
Don't know if I
Am ready to believe
Don't know if I
Am ready to believe
