Lyrics

You’re standing in front of the fire, but to walk through is too much pain.

Bold hands burn so you refrain.

You were a walking mountain, shaking snow as you’d go,

But you lose your way when the cold winds blow.

Oh, it feels like home.

Home. Giving up, going it alone.

You see the light in the tunnel, a way to escape the jail, but the iron bars of fear prevail.

You found your feet were suited to holding you in place. Don’t make stillness your disgrace.

Oh, I know it feels like home.

Home. Giving up, going it alone.

There’s bad and there’s worse. You’re forgetting which came first.

What do you dream of when the walls of awake are at bay? Do you ever break away?

Oh, I know it feels like home.

Home. Giving up, going it alone.

Lyrics:
From these cliffs we can see far
There are ships set sail for places yet explored
There are footprintless places in our view
I am standing here alone next to you

And even as the sun goes down 
And you put away your crown
And there’s nothing left to hide
 I’m the one on the outside

There’s a peril if we step 
Too far forward, too far back
Is freedom falling or standing on firm ground?
I never know when you’re around

And even as the sun goes down 
And you put away your crown
And there’s nothing left to hide
I’m the one on the outside

We haven’t been a mile from home
But we both know why you’ve flown
Like the birds that circle here
 until they sense the end is near

And even as the sun goes down
And you put away your crown
And there’s nothing left to hide
I’m the one on the outside

From These Cliffs

Lyrics

Waded out to the sea, dug my feet as deep as could be.
Oh, why’d I go so far? Now I can’t even see the shore.

Grasping at something you’ve lost, washed away a lifetime ago.

Head to that horizon, it all seems so close. Innocence is slippery at most.

I wonder if drowning ever feels good. Do you visit the if and the should?
Do you become all the things that you could, if you had gone all the way?

Love is lying in bed regretting every word wasn’t said.
Love is lying on a table; some things we aren’t able to keep.

I wonder if drowning ever feels good. Do you visit the if and the should?
Do you become all the things that you could, if you had gone all the way?

Take me down. Take me down. Take me down, down to the bottom to see.

Washed up onto silence and dreams. This loss is as thick as it seems,

But your eyes are like hours and all I can see is the time that is still meant to be.

I wonder if drowning ever feels good.
Do we visit the if and the should?
Do we become all the things that you could, if we had gone all the way?

Golden Hour

Lyrics:
I’m afraid that the lamp at the door
Is gonna go out, it won’t shine evermore
Will you know where to find me at night
When I am asleep and there is no light.
 I’m not hiding.  I never would
Stood at the window as long as I could
Stood at the window, but it did no good

There’s a man standing down at the gate
Is he just a mirage or a memories fate?
He’s brought such a storm I must close up tonight
Batten the shudders and tuck us in tight
 I’m not hiding.  I never would
Stood at the window as long as I could
Stood at the window, but it did no good

Down, way down by the war line
We were safe just as long as we ran on the same side

There’s a path to bring you back here if you’re wanting
Till then I’ll be In this place that you are haunting
And when these gales blow and everything is shaking
I will be pieces you can’t see cuz I am breaking
But  I’m not hiding. No, I never would
Stood at the window as long as I could
Stood at the window, but it did no good

War Line

I’ve got a secret kept tight in my hand
I’ll blow it away when I’m ready
But I’ll keep my eyes closed more often when I’m around you
You have a way to see into me
Chorus: You fold me in like wave does water
Then float away like leaves from their mother
Vs2
You are an angel. The dust from walking circles
Is hiding you in plain view
You are a land unfound. A hidden holy ground
I would crawl on my knees to
Chorus: Fold you in like wave does water
Then float away like leaves from their mother
Vs3
You make me nervous. You make me sorry
For things I never did or was
Cuz time don’t stop for any one of us
It turns it’s back but I’ll never my love
Chorus: I’ll fold you in like wave does water
Then we’ll float away like leaves from their mother

Lyrics:
Dragging myself around the bend
I was waiting for a sight so feared
Hope was starving down to the bone 
But you lifted your eyes and I wasn’t alone
While I was searching everything went black
In the darkness you gave me gifts you can’t take back
Oh, how I wish I could give you them now
But they’re buried so low I’d have to flood them out
Chorus:
So, down to the river, down to the river I’ll go
You can’t wash me clean and you won’t save my soul
But down to the river, down to the river I’ll run
You take me to when I was young and I had done no wrong
Vs. 2
I’m becoming like an old birch tree
With the white bark falling off of me
Are you the ax or are you the shears?
You could take me down after all these years
I’ve been redeemed too many times to count
I’m in debt so deep they forgave the amount
But we’re all getting tired of this muddy water
In the tracks you left I want to follow you farther

Lyrics:
I’ve been looking for a lullaby to slumber
Walking through woods, drinking in summer
I like this air between my ears
It’s quieter here
That dirty night sky it opens up it’s secrets
That we are stronger for our weakness
As the white haired mountains disappear
It’s quieter here
I’ve been searching for some peace 
Of mind that’s not a new disease
And blues and greens and dead machines
I’m getting lost in in betweens
Seeds, we are seeds
Either buried or flying
Some are born while others are dying
Some of us loving while some of us are losing
Sometimes giving and sometimes we’re using
Oh I’ve been searching for some peace 
Of mind that’s not a new disease
And blues and greens and dead machines
I’m getting lost in in betweens
There’s a new moon, gonna be awake soon
Gonna be alive soon, Gonna be alive
I was blinded, eyes can fail
But I’ll still meet you beyond the pail
I was lulled from a tunnel it led to a tower
Where I watched myself drift on the hours
So blow me back into the fear
It’s quieter here
I’ve been searching for some peace 
Of mind that’s not a new disease
And blues and greens and dead machines
I’m getting lost in in betweens
