Dirges in the Dark

Verse 
You ask me what happened to poets
And for a moment I thought maybe I’d know it 
But I cant tell, I can’t show it 			
Why words are warm when my world is snowing

Write me the song that’s stuck in your head
Whats there to say its not already been said?
That I pray for peace when I step into bed
To sail the seas and harken the dead

I miss the waves and the scent of your hair
Im on my knees just to show you I care
I know this game, its truth or dare
And if you jump its my burden to bear

Chorus
Im trying to ground myself on an even plane 
All that’s left to do is put it into frame
I do believe that heaven is from where we came
Once you’ve burned and fled, Its all the same

Verse
Lets not pretend that sinners are strangers
We know that luck is married only to danger
His skin was torn and put on a hanger
But why do I have to live with his anger?

I don’t need your smile or your shallow praise
Im not this body as the sun’s not its rays
There’s a rope I’m told, but its old and frayed
Sometimes he wishes that you could’ve stayed

Don’t mind the tone, its just how they talk
They were cut and thrown hard on the rocks
Now theres nobody that dares to walk 
And I hear their dirges cut straight through the dark

Chorus

Dirges in the Dark

“The Dreamcatcher”

Intro/refrain
Show me a sign, when I call that you hear
Show me a sign, that your whispers are near
Show me a sign, it’s your call that I hear,
Show me a sign, that your whispers are real

Verse
They told me go find your
sunlit sweetheart,
She’ll give you somewhere you 
Can rest your head

They sold me charcoal, 
and told me it was gold
and so I started on my 
Way down the hole, 

Singin’

Intro/refrain
(Show me a sign, when I call that you hear
Show me a sign, that your whispers are near
Show me a sign, it’s your call that I hear,
Show me a sign, that your whispers are real)

Verse
I started sliding, 
Just for a little while
Followed the haze
That led beneath the tiles

As I was roaming, I ran into a little girl,
She said “Hello Sir, have you seen the world?”

I said I’ve seen

Waterfalls on Mountains
And oceans that breathe
Did you know the stars
Would sing you lullabies in three’s?


A Southern Bell, darling
Praying at her knees,
“Lord keep my father, 
Let him rest in peace.”

An Illinois Son
Marching to war/(towards;)
Broken promises
On a distant shore
 
Singin’

Intro/refrain

Verse
Seen Men make orphans
In the name of the King
of the heavens above
And the hells beneath

Yes, little girl – 
I do Believe
I’ve seen the world, 
And I chose to leave

She smiled and nodded
And whispered to me,
“I’ll show you something 
That you’ve already seen”

(In the tune of Intro): 

And I remembered the time
That you bent in my ear
I closed my eyes 
When you promised to steer

Threw me some keys, and said
“Boy don’t you see?
Its all just a dream that
You chose to believe.”
