Cold Lead Bath

I know it shows i never let go of what i hold 
& you called me last night just to prove you were right on the phone 
And you know 
i took it for granted what was done i never wanted to be alone 
Oh 
I hope from a far you hear my voice calling out to your heart to bring me back to my place 
I don't expect you to love me now but you do 
If I've poisoned the river can i turn it back blue? 
Ohh 
You don't believe the words i speak 
Im tired and I'm sick 
I know theres a reason wild and true 
I know theres a reason 
Why i had to hurt you 
Just to know what i want 
When everything's a virtue that's won or lost 
Its lost lost lost 
Its lost 
I hope from a far you hear my voice calling out to your heart to bring me back to my place

Bring Me Back

Sharp bark splinters 
Hiding all the pain 
The palm of the thief 
Didn't feel the sting 
Constant dream 
Child your eyes remain 
Born in late winter 
Your will washed out the rain 
Wait don't go 
Wake alone 
(You can hear the pond shake, the rattle of spring, ice beneath your heel cracked honeycomb) 
Harsh barbed blizzard 
Carries us away 
Constant dream 
Awake without a nam 
Wake don't go 
Wake alone 
Holding on to the edge of my seat 
I breathe in calm and steady i wait for relief 
For the last time you follow me 
Through a moon lit passage in the darkest of dreams 
Believe in my words believe me 
Wait don't go 
Wake alone

Constant Dream

Id bet its nice to be home 
Where your mind can be alone 
Id bet its nice to feel 
That someone who knows these roads is behind the wheel 
Out past the city lights 
Is where my body resides 
Where the concrete ends 
And the life depends on the sunlight to survive 
Smoke in my lungs 
The knots in my tongue 
Its not safe to be here 
And i cant believe what i hear 
Out past the rotting hills 
Where i first learned how to kill 
I was told not to look 
In the eyes of the prey as you take their life away 
This damn place 
Is programmed to 
Erase each face 
We're the ones 
That relieve 
We're the ones that deceive 
Smoke in my lungs 
The knots in my tongue 
Its not safe to be here 
And i cant believe what i hear 
I bet its nice to be home 
Where your mind can be alone

Eyes Of The Prey

An echo through the woods caused a landslide 
The twisted words blurred the black sky 
Even if the tongue could speak for itself 
Would you allow it 
Fade away back into the fields 
Where you allow it 
I felt regret before the progress regressed and I've seen it before when i was dead on the floor caught in your eye 
Don't go on word don't say a thing 
When I'm alone I'm missing someone 
Don't say a thing 
I felt regret before the progress regressed and I've seen it before when i was dead on the floor caught in your eye

The Fields

Stronger now that i cut myself thin 
Left my silver on the street 
Buried our photos under concrete 
Repeating axioms vicarious actions 
I cant face this alone again 
Cut loose lost you too 
It pains my heart every day 
To look in your lover's eyes while you walk away 
From her life 
From her light 
Wilting strings 
Left me relentless 
The cold man in my heart 
I cant stay out of the dark 
Every day i awake wanting it all back again 
But I've paid all my dues, my pocket stitched noose in time 
Every day i awake wanting it all back again 
My brightly kissed comrade this songs for you 
every day i awake wanting it all back again

Jagged Grin

Walk a mile just to get along and you turn around 
Lost the sight of the one you love and you're all alone 
Distractions held their place in my heart 
But I'm not quite sure and I'm back to where i started 
I could never stay because i know things will never change 
I will always stray because i cant help that I'm afraid 
Or hit me with the medicine that makes my eyes gleam 
It takes me back to a memory a forgotten dream 
Distractions held their place in my heart 
But I'm not quite sure and I'm back to where i started 
I could never stay because i know things will never change i will always stray because i cant help that I'm afraid

Distractions

Half dead insects rise into the air 
Stale intentions wash me clean and bless me with your broken wings 
Your stolen things 
Keep my knees weak 
Tell me the fortune in which i seek 
If this is life and this is death 
Then give me the reason i need 
The expectations of the first page 
The song you wanted begins to play 
Giving in from the light to the grey 
The coils of spring comfort my contorted body 
Keep my knees weak 
Tell me the fortune in which i seek 
If this is life and this is death, then give me the reason i need to begin

Coils Of Spring

One sparks the rest 
The fire burns 
And ill return to you 
With bloody hands 
A heart of fuel 
I cant shake the feeling 
Of loving someone so much 
It makes you sick 
It makes your head spin 

Fall come too soon 
The things i forgot 
Come back to loom 
Who would of thought 
Id be the one 
To follow you though 
The setting sun 

Movement slow 
I gain control 
I fall apart 
Wishing i done different 
Knowing this i let my loss of words sing 
There wont be a guiding light 
We're still so lost in the middle of the night 

Fall come too soon 
The things i forgot 
Come back to loom 
Who would of thought 
I'd be the one 
To follow you through 
The setting sun

The Things I Forgot

All I Have

Keep On

Conversation

Big Leaves

my eyes are red now 
you know i can't talk about it 
it's how i cope you know i smoke & write about it 
i'm hiding out to bring the blackest ideas out & laugh about it 
& laugh about it

i'm late now stumbling down geneva drowning in my own thoughts 
it gets too deep you know it's hard to keep your head up 
i'm hiding out to bring the blackest ideas out & laugh about it 
let's laugh about it

take my animal brain & blow it out 
medicate these wounds 
till i write it down

it's night now the moon is out 
so we're burning thru this ghost town 
afraid to sleep you know there's only one way to come down 
we're high enough to bring the blackest ideas out & laugh about it 
let's laugh about it

i haven't been myself for a while 
all these voices talking they don't lie

take my animal brain & blow it out 
medicate these wounds 
till i write it down

(i'll never go back to that place, i couldn't go i couldn't go 
i'll never go back to those ways, i never will i never will 
i'll never see things the same way ill never will i never will 
i'll never go back to your ways i never will i never will)
