Teach Me To Waltz

Winter came too soon
to let my body bloom
and hold you head up high
when my rivers run dry.

Do you feel that tension between the trees and the moon?
It's that feeling you get when you finally understand where you are.
When you realize you can't relate to someone that you love.
I managed to pull myself up out up to the blue
and stare down into black that stares back out with you.

A mammoth finds its way back to the chain,
and still my friends fall dead on Sabbath day.

I held a cross to my chest, and I held my breathe
and chewed through a forest of legs
to find me in your nest,
amongst your eggs.

Lyrics:

Take that first step. 
Feel each weight 
of every callus that you've claimed 
from every jagged rock you've stepped on. 

And when each step gets hard to take, 
the Earth below us keeps on spinning just the same. 
Breaks you down like the dust that we came from 
(That sits upon the shelf) 

If we only knew and if we only cared enough. 

When you talked about that hole inside your chest, 
we've adopted yours, but bigger. 
Bleed these memories of simpler times dry. 

When you found yourself alone in your head, 
how I wish we could've been there. 
That's what happens when you put enough poison in your veins. 

Oh, how I wish we could've stayed. 

Bound to your skin and bones are aging chains. 
You wear them draped around your neck, 
and they grow only longer. 

And with each link, more heavy than the last, we sink 
into the stubborn Earth below. 
Breaks you down, like the dust that we came from 
(That sits upon the shelf) 

And if we only knew, and if we only cared enough. 

When you talked about that hole inside your chest, 
we've adopted yours, but bigger. 
Bleed these memories of simpler times dry. 

When you found yourself alone in your head, 
how I wish we could've been there. 
That's what happens when you put enough poison in your veins, man.

Oh how I wish we could've stayed just one more summer in that place.

Lyrics:

As timeless as we were, 
the years still passed in between our spoken words 
that hung in the air for what seemed like forever. 

Talk about our fears 
and the hopes we have for future days 
ahead of us. 
We face these things head on together. 

And I swear you watched you grow up in that place. 

But I would never write a single broken word about you. 
And if I ever did, you know that I'd be lying to myself. 
It's a fine, fine line we walk between love and hate. 

The stitching across my back 
is the patter that you've sewn in my flesh for several years. 
Cut the final thread. 
Let's see if I come undone. 

And if by chance I keep these weary limbs composed. 
Tied to my lungs, anchor heart away from sleeve. 
I'll truly know what it's like to be content with my life. 

And I swear you watched you grow up in that place. 

But I would never write a single broken word about you. 
And if I ever did, you know that I'd be lying to myself. 

It's a fine, fine line we walk between love and hate.

Lyrics:

We were boats full of sin. 
On the same troubled waters we sailed. 
With our backs to the wind, 
always pressing forward on. 

Am I awake, am I alive, and am I whole? 
We find such comfort in the stories been told, but 
if ignorance is bliss, then bliss i've never know. 

But you say that I am not the only one 
who doesn't feel alive, sometimes. 
But if life is just a dream, 
then I'm so lucky to have dreamt it 
with you. 

Take these words you wrote that read I love you back. 
They're day old memories 
of a time when that's all that I dreamt of hearing. 
And as our aging bones continue to decay 
and our minds collapse, 
maybe then will our love relapse. 

But you say that I am not the only one 
who doesn't feel alive, sometimes. 
But if life is just a dream, 
then I'm so lucky to have dreamt it 
with you. 

And merrily, merrily, we will all move along. 
And merrily, merrily, we will continue on the same.


Merrily, Merrily, Merrily

Lyrics:

Close your eyes, we'll think in the morning. 
Count up your sheep and count up your blessings. 
The blade of life cuts close to the heart when you're all alone. 
The hands of time will suture your wounds, this I know. 

Wake to daylight and people that love you. 
Step by step by, it feels like you're sleeping. 
The blade of life cuts close to the hear when you're all alone. 
The hands of time will suture your wounds, this I know. 

Wake up. 
Teach us to waltz through life when we're low. 
Close your 
eyes just for now, but we need you here most

Usually just posting rough ideas for songs i'm working on.
