winter

someones gonna love me
better than you could 

is that a relief?
or does that make you sad?

I could never tell
what you wanted anyway

but im glad
you were starting to remind me of my dad

i watch the wind 
clear the smoke away

dont you hate 
the reasons they stay?

dont you hate
what they say 
they love the most 
is what makes them run away?

Im gonna nurse 
the child of my hurt

I'm gonna nurse the child of my hurt

My star burns blue now, and there is nothing left to say to you.
All these words took away my color,
And left me with blue.

Is that the color of truth?
Or the poor wretch that believed in truth.
Everyday is a risk of death but you,
quite so naturally.

Blue

I love you so much it hurts
Too beautiful for me to hold myself
You won't disappear when the net falls
Don't forget you're a body, a cell

a body, a cell

when they told you to run, did you run? 
when they told you to fall, did you fall? 

I held the sun, I held it all. 
Then the moon sang its song, and it was gone. 

I will run, pick up the things, I have lost, I have lost.

I Held the Sun

oh rabbit 
we cut your feet for luck 

i needed to get away so i ran with no shoes 
to where i thought i could find you 

in the summer 
a young boy drowned 

you heard the news 
spread all over town 

i needed to get away so i ran with no shoes 
to where i thought i could find you 

oh rabbit we cut your feet for luck 

i needed to get away so i ran with no shoes 
to where i thought i would find you

Oh Rabbit

had a dream that the medicine poisoned you 
that's not what medicines supposed to do 

we could have a real nice life 
only if i put down the knife

What Medicines Supposed To Do

does anyone know where it goes? 
or where to find it when you lose control? 
what a concept what a belief 
if only it were made for me 

the snow it falls and buries the dead 
your grave flowers float in my head 
kiss the stone and move it away 
kiss the ground because today is the day 

make me hold honey on my lips 
make roses grow from my hips 
i'll fall together and fall apart 
then maybe someone would hold my heart 

i am reckless i am a knife 
i'll cut you open and take your life 
i'm a creature of the sky 
you couldn't hold me even if you tried

Creature Of The Sky

It started small and fragile 
like he shoes we wore when we were young 
It started small and fragile 
like the breaking of a rabbit's bone 

when we cut off its feet 
when we cut off its feet 

And then it grew to be splints in our shins 
as we tried to run 

And then it grew 
to be asphalt 
And then it grew to be asphalt 

It swallowed us slowly 
just like the snow we walk on with bare feet 

It swallowed us slowly 
just like our toes in the dirt 

Ashes to ashes 
the fire keeps us down 

We are not sparks that fly into the air 

We are the ground beneath the flames 

We remain when the fire is gone 

Holding the things we lost 
holding the things we found.
