In the Dark

All them lines around your eyes meant you cried dark tears
when memories lurk inside your room looming darkness
been running miles around your bed in the dead of night
where muddy mouths speak of the past, of me now
falling stars from the moonlit sky beaming down our backs
when we were dancing
In the dark, in the dark
running to the sea, wash away these sins
time has finally caught us now, caught us now
Falling around those broken paths til I found my way back
to you standing on the porch in the dark
saw you staring out into the night with your ghost black eyes
the wind was rustling, your dress was torn
Moonlight, moonlight
the stars once in your eyes that shined have gone away
daylight, daylight
the part of you that made me cry has come to stay

Burn Me Up
03:50
|
|||
|
Going down so slowly
creeping in the dark
where cold wind blows through the night
earth and dust keep my eyes shut
in the house
it's so cold there
only the cold wind blows through me now
earth and dust keep my eyes shut
all the lights faded like a fire that burned you out
it burned me up
all the lies, reasons everytime
to fuck me up

All This Time

Night falls past these pines
I held you to your word July
pull me right back up
to shatter like a glass you broke
I wasn't right for you
All this time I've waited here
a thousand lights have disappeared
all the walls are tumbling around me that were built to last
through the years into the night
I called for you a million times
reflections of your crooked eyes
are burning in the fire
Up close the county pines burn bright
reflecting off your smokey eyes
pull me right back up
to fade out like a dance
so slow
I watched them burn all night
All this time I've waited here
a thousand lights have disappeared
all the walls are tumbling around me that were built to last
through the years into the night
I called for you a million times
reflections of your crooked eyes
are burning in the fire
even though I loved you best
tell them all I must confess
until the end of all of this
I will be here
you won't be missed

Boney fingers tracing other hands inside me
know that eyes must close to hear the echoes
a foreign voice unclear
telling me things
I can't hear over the sound of whispers now
broken bells they play never fade
I take heed the noise that they make
so far way
a spiders web came down
I'm tangled up now
through the silk I breathe
no one believes
fragments of the past I've scattered
lifelines that can't be traced now
poured salt between the teeth that chatter
where shadows hide their mouths
pieces of the skin I've shattered
are now exposed in glass
when shards seem to reflect my laughter
no one can hear it now
you turned my hands into sand
mirrors won't show how
buried beneath faces melted
my house can't be found

Bag of Bones
04:10
|
|||
|
I saw the Devil's eyes out here the other night
I touched a demons hand and it burned
down by the crossroads
that's where I sold my soul
to strum a clumsy chord and grow old
but it hurts sometimes
I can't cleanse myself
and I can't wash away these sins tonight
These things hurt so much
your fire touched my face
there's no pure skin now
I'm a bag of bones
I saw the Devil's eyes out here the other night
I touched a demons hand and it burned
down by the crossroads
that's where I sold my soul
to pick an old guitar and drink wine
but it screws me up
what I love so much
I guess I'm drinking with all of this pain tonight
These things hurt so much
your fire touched my face
there's no pure skin now
I'm a bag of bones

Don't Go
02:58
|
|||
|
Let me out of this cage inside
lay with me where the darkness lies
endless nights where your dreams unfold
wake me up, don't let me go
through the night and the smoke came fire
all around the cathedral spire
I heard it loud, ringing like a bell
wake me up, just wake me up
saw the light
the flash before my eyes, nowhere to go for me to hide
saw the life
escape me in a dream I had of something good, it feels so bad
saw the light
it's come to finalize this dream is real
saw the light
I don't wanna go to bed tonight
I don't wanna sleep
I wanna die

The Crossfire
03:38
|
|||
|
What hangs above me everynight?
It seems I'm in a dream though I'm awake
Why do I stay?
been looking back these days
where could I go?
with you it isn't so
why do I stay in the crossfire?
Alone, I feel so far away
this place could it be imaginary?
Why do I stay?
been looking back these days
where could I go?
with you it isn't so
Why do I stay in the crossfire?

Come Back Down
04:50
|

|
Rainfalls been breaking through the branches all night long
those house lights shimmering look just like stars
shining beneath the moon, December in my mind
memories of you and I
where the rain falls, everywhere you are
I remember when the lightning struck
and the way it shined
it blew the lights out
I wish you would have tried to come back down
I wish you would
It ain't funny how we grow up so fast
and then let it go
man it's so fucking sad to think like that
about the way it was
we're like strangers now
Moonlights been peeking through the windows all night long
those shadows cast on my wall look just like arms
moving around the room remembering my life
memories of you and I
where the rain falls, everywhere you are
I remember when the lightning struck
and the way it shined
it blew the lights out
I wish you would have tried to come back down
I wish you would
It ain't funny how we grow up so fast
and then let it go
man it's so fucking sad to think like that
about the way it was
we're like strangers now
the way we shined and then burned out
I wish you would have tried to come back down
I wish you would

Black Dust
03:05
|
|||
|
Waited so long for this to pass in silence
feel the fire still burn desire
for you
through the ashes into these flames
so slow
feel the fire still burn desire
for you
black dust covers all your love
just like a veil

Murmur
04:14
|
|||
|
Your trinkets are strewn all over the room
oh, why must you lay under covers?
even though you must leave I don't want you to go
oh, why are we tired of each other?
In the middle of the night like a storms angry breeze
came down and blew everything
now the blankets are worn and the tapestries torn
and frayed
Where the hours fade with the day into the night
where I don't feel so sure but it does seem obscure
these walls inside
I feel so low there's nowhere to fall
no way I can climb up these walls
heaven knows it's a lie
how can emptiness weigh so much?
In the middle of the night no one hears me call
In the middle of the night
where them blankets are worn and there's holes in the house so cold
Where the hours fade with the day into the night
where I don't feel so sure but it does seem obscure
these walls inside
the loneliness still knows your name
