A song about vision, wayfaring, and the dead. "Roam" was written c.a. 2021 during a period of intense reflection.

The image seen in the center of the track's art comes from the Wellcome Collection in London, U.K. It is cataloged as:

A traveller is sitting in the shade of a tree with his cloak off and he is shown in the background buffeted by the wind, wrapping his cloak around him. It is an illustration of the fable “The sun and the wind” by Aesop, translated and paraphrased by J. Ogilby. Etching by W. Hollar.

The surrounding fleurons, or 'printer's flowers,' come from the public domain. They are found as decorative elements from a 1862 reprint of King Charles I's 1633 decree of sports.

Lyrics:

In the furnace of the midnight sun, the heat struck to my bones
Strong with all I had I did declare that I was damned to roam
When you’re out clawing at the road you have no hearth or home
And the only ember from the source into the sea is thrown 

The visions found me when I ceased to look, they were a vast connected chain
Like the word inside a foreign book, the full translation came

Revelation is that golden tome the fool alone can read
Revolution is a turning wheel, not a slate wiped clean

With the dead, all the living share their bread
Lifting up and letting down, all returning the ground

Body naked, back uncloaked, the feral night untied
Radiant, the fire can’t be choked
The blaze you must abide

Crying out in tongues I sang, I hailed the chasm far and wide
In the terror of the great expanse, surrendered to the tide

With the dead, all the living share their bread
Lifting up and letting down, all returning the ground

With the dead, all the living hang their heads
Sifting through and searching ‘round
All returning the ground

Roam (original mix)

I'm sorry, it seems I've had some sort of dream
I don't know how it found me or what the fuck it means
A windy dead branch window tap snapped short our soft touching
I don't how I found you but you've always been with me

Howl tonight, I'm getting drunk alone
I'm blocked out from her heart
For the first time in a thousand years
I don't know where to start
Run a heist off bored advice
"She wasted all her tears"
And we all know where that river flows
It's burning in her leer

Time has passed, I've cleared the glass
But the nights are just as cold
As the first night the ache in my heart
Moved into my bones
Oh, whiskey high, Irish goodbye
Get a saint to bless the bar
Coyotes got the moon tonight
So I'm howling at the stars

They say, "Get over it"
But I'm howling at the moon
And they're full of shit
Man, my fur is growing through
Tearing brick by brick this
City down for truth
Werewolves always got the moon
Ah-ooo
I need to howl at you

Cursed for life with eyes like knives
My soul is still cut up
You sat up there in those windy stairs
While my blood filled up the cup
Drip, drip, drip, we were only kids
And we stitched up what to keep
Now look around babe, all the towns here
Are ghost towns to me

And howl tonight, I'm getting drunk alone
A rumbling hunger's in my gut
My canines bite when the moon is bright
Wagering I still trust my luck
May be doomed to roam, 'tranced by a drone
Humming from the smashed out mills
'Til the sunrise, hear my howls fly
Over these fair seven hills

They say, "Get over it"
But I'm howling at the moon
And they're full of shit
Man, my fur is growing through
Tearing brick by brick this
City down for truth
Werewolves always got the moon
Ah-ooo
I need to howl at you

Sore throat, I kind of smoked, my day has got to start
In my dreams you were still with me, but they fade fast and far
Dusty window glares lay nightmares bare while splitting apart the dark
I'll keep rolling eyes and rolling nights while you're howling in my heart

Howl, Tonight

High-line ladies
Drive me crazy
To sing songs about life below
My girl's laughing
With the captain
Of a ship that he lost long ago

Candy smiles
For awhile
Never waiting on the past
It's not mentioned
Just depression
Making up some love that could last

I know I may be messed up
Maybe more messed up than you
But that doesn't mean I lie
Everything I say is true
So let's just disappear into the night
Without a sound, without a sight
Good friends begging to stay
And I really want you to stay

I've been tired
I've been wired
I haven't had a better time than this
Let's roll up what we got
And we'll take our final shots
And dance around in sweet summers kiss

Roam and rambling
I've been gambling
With these notions from above
Just try to push me down
I'll come back right around
And finally find what I've been dreaming of

I know I may be messed up
Maybe more messed up than you
And that doesn't mean I lie
Everything I say is true
So let's just disappear into the night
Without a sound, without a sight
Good friends begging to stay
And I really want you to stay

My love, you know you can stay

High Line Ladies

Would you look over here
What have you done to yourself?
Your eyes look so faded
Like the first souls of Hell
When you knocked on my door
In the silence of the dark
It started an opera
You said, let the dogs bark

Well sit down old friend
Have a glass of this wine
I knew you were coming
But not at what time
You thought this was funny
And let your soul in the air
'Til we laughed and remembered
All our friends through the years

Everybody's walkin
Everybody's talkin
Everybody's tryin' hard
Not to look alone
Don't know 'bout you
I know 'bout me
And I feel like life is
Right out of a dream

Times of life disappear
Like these specters in the night
I'm always reaching out
But I can't decide what's right
Think I'm done calling out
To this congress of the dead
I'm sure done with these nights
Rolling awake in my bed

I get up every morning
Yeah, I think I do my share
I run on my joys
But I still sleep on my fears
When I see dark shadows
Crawling out my windows
I just fuck it all up
And lose my shit in the snow

Everybody's walkin
Everybody's talkin
Everybody's tryin' hard
Not to look alone
Don't know 'bout you
I know 'bout me
And I feel like life is
Right out of a dream

Everybody's walkin
Everybody's talkin
Everybody's tryin' hard
Not to look alone
Don't know 'bout you
I know 'bout me
And I feel like life is
Right out of a dream

Trainwreck

Well, I am dancing with death tonight
Baby, the river is crestin' high
Maybe it'll float me up to the sky
Just maybe
And I don't recall what I was sold
But these dirty floodwaters are getting cold
And the bills I owe have clogged the overflow
Well, it's just great
And these hundred-year rains come so hard down
They got Noah with the loners tryin' to up and leave town
Just how do you scream when you're about to drown?
Lungs ain't empty

Floodwaters
Have gone way above my head
And somehow I'm not dead
Was I born to breathe 'em in?
This rain
Will wash me out of my bed
Turn my clothes into lead
I'll still be swimming

Sinking and I'm thinking
Float down to the floor
Making hearts of air bubbles
'Til I can't no more
Something's breachin, there's been seepage
Right through my core
Raindrops racing
I was go with the flow
Now show me the storm
I'm out of breath, out my depth
My soul soaked and worn
I've been dying, I've been grindin'
For a kind of honest Lord
The floodwaters got the hospital where I was born

Every time it's, "you see
There's just someway to breathe"
I bet my angry, toilin', boilin' blood
Could dry up the sea
Workin' tricks, Lord I miss
When my time felt so free
This rushing river here was once my childhood stream

And floodwaters
Have gone way above my head
And somehow I'm not dead
Was I born to breathe 'em in?
This rain
Will wash me out of my bed
Turn my clothes into lead
We'll all be swimming

And floodwaters
Have gone way above my head
And somehow I'm not dead
Was I born to breathe 'em in?
This rain
Will wash me out of my bed
Turn my clothes into lead
We'll all be swimming

We're all just swimming

Floodwaters

Imagine being born right 'fore
The Second World War?
In some ways kind of early
For just who you were
The years on years
Make the pictures blur
But I remember crystal clear
The man you were

Everyone's got their picture on
That step in the threshold
As kids burning up to
Wake up Sleepy Hollow
You could be rare and
A bit of an asshole
Well I don't care, Papa Bear
Let's spin the slideshow

When my heart is fading
There is nothing to fix it
'Cept the swayin' vibratin' of
The train down to Mystic
For each view out the window
You put a caption to it
For each heartbeat, a photo
Of the people you so miss

I could use
One more day with you
To hear you muse
All on your youth
Well I don't care
I'll drive you anywhere, Papa Bear

I was looking for something
To mix with my coffee
Found a picture of you
From 2013
Family hears the birds
Singin' in a spring breeze
And I've got a feeling
That you're still with me

'Cause your voice still echoes
Like the night freight from Worcester
Like in all of our hearts
You got the perfect exposure
The years on years
Make the pictures blur
But I remember crystal clear
The man you were

Camera Man

You broke me, so hold me
And make my blood boil
You'd burn up my eyes
Like that ol' mill town soil
We had to take that love
And bury it so deep below
'Cause if it hits the air
It'll bring a cancer to our bones

Oh, and we'd ride
Around the reservoir
And now I drive
By what we had before
Oh, and we'd
Ride around
The reservoir

The kids've got a tarp strung up
To block out all the light
'Cause no cop on the causeway
Is finding our fire tonight
I think I'm purely here for you
I'm young and beggin' for you to see
That I'd carry you up to Diamond Hill
To find some sort of ring

Oh, and we'd ride
Around the reservoir
And now I drive
By what we had before
Oh, and we'd
Ride around
The reservoir

I go see my parents
About once a week
And I get to pass by
Where we were young and naïve
Skin to heart, it stings
But sometimes, I don't mind
Another drive 'round the reservoir
Just to get a bit more time with you

And we'd ride
Around the reservoir
And now I drive
By what I held before
Oh, and we'd
Ride around
The reservoir

The Reservoir


Golden Kite

Em - Asus2 - Em - Amaj7
I can feel your soul inside
Shattered pieces spark joy in the night
I don't want to be lonely anymore
I was in a place that wasn't mine
Shattered pieces dance in this electric night
Shattered dreams dance in the pulse of light
Awaiting the day to strike
To get to heaven tonight

Bm - Dsus2 - Asus2 - Em
You can't run and you can't hide
And I know that i'll be alright
The fre in the dark is light
Take the steps of the dark night
No saving grace nor taking fight
Voices in the still of night
Please don't leave me here tonight
Singing a song of love and light

Em - Asus2 - Em - Amaj7
In the stillness of the night
Music of the morning's light
Pale in the light I see the golden kite
In the stillness it feels like
Stand by your side and help me lose my sight
Lord have mercy on me sometimes
Cause everything's gonna be alright
I want you by my side

Bm - Dsus2 - Asus2 - Em
So won't you help me make it right
I tried a thousand times
Tell me my lines and get me through hard times
On this beautiful starry night
I'm stuck between the lines
Cause everything's gonna be alright

Lord have mercy on me sometimes
I tried a thousand times

Em - Asus2 - Em - Amaj7
So won't you help me make it right
I wanna take you for a ride
I'll never forget the good times
At the end of the day you'll be by my side
