A lifetime ago 
The lightning and snow
stopped me dead in my tracks
and there was no looking back.

The moonlight burned out
and Halifax faded way back
the street spun and lit up 
and crushed me in its path.

And a piece of the sky 
Fell in two
My chest opened up 
Onto you. 

Now there's nowhere left to run, 
As the fog spills into our lungs.

They're gonna write your name 
write your name in the sky
so lift those weary eyes 
and let those corners cry. 

But my body's in pain
and my fire it won't light
but there's a bridge reachin' out 
through the hardest of rain. 

And a piece of the sky 
Fell in two
My chest opened up 
Onto you. 

Now there's nowhere left to run
As the fog spills into your lungs.

We'll go under and find treasure 
coated in the darkest cover 
They might never find us 
so we'll bring some extra flares and blankets.

We'll go under we'll go under 
we'll go under we'll go under...

I lost a dear friend and mentor on May 31, 2015.  This recording means the world to me. R.I.P. Slim Richey a.k.a. "Most Dangerous Guitar Player in Texas".  I've never known another man who can play with this much soul, grace, restraint, passion, coolness.  He was the most mature player I've ever experienced and no one compares.

How can you possibly think that I'm getting out of this?
What can you possibly think am I getting out of this?
Rusting towers stand out on the waves.
I don't know if it's just this air, but I swear: it harms more than it saves.
And I feel I'm letting go of the things I used to know.

How can you possibly know if you're getting anywhere?
What can you plausibly know: is there anything out there?
I wish there was some way that I could know before
but it's just so easy to stay with the cowards that are hanging on the shore.
And I feel I'm letting go of the things I used to know.
I feel I'm letting go of the things I used to know.

I've been throwing stones down the well all my life.
I was waiting for the sound as they hit the sides.
I've been throwing stones down the well all my life.
I was waiting for the sound as they hit the sides.

Rusting towers stand out on the waves.

I would face it every day if I thought that that would lead to much.
I would watch the last light fade if I thought it would stay long enough.
The sea is laughing up at me as I try and keep my eyelids shut,
the ships on the horizon line have all just started squaring up.

Different Seas

Rusting Towers

Lyrics:

My eyes submit that I won’t focus
They can't resist what I don’t notice 
You're a plane, Jane
You're taking off right before me
At a safe pace
Asking with your actions “Save me, please”
Come on and save me

I went into town just to see Michigan
How slow we walk when we've found something
Something moving
Moving mile by mile
Now I'm spinning
Off the curve of your smile

Loan me your lips at peak interest
Your right, my claim by the bite of my bid
You're the hip fight
Lighting up my night scene
In your black tie
Like you only lie with me
Baby, please

I went into town wearing only my skin
I left feeling so deep in sin
Deep in something
Something not quite right
In my dark night, flying high on the wind

I'm a fake snake
Wax fangs and painted stripes
Just a tax break
Keen to bend the world how I like
Right how I like
