You’re cutting ties
and cutting ropes
except the ones
wrapped tight around your neck
And
the man behind the drink
ain’t as interesting
as the drink itself
But your road winds ever on
and never ceases to amaze
my startled eyes
So take all the love that you have
and save it for
a better life
But,
you don’t know
what it’s all about
All my boys and I are saying is
“Don’t lose yourself in this”
All my boys and I are saying is
“Don’t chase a dream that ain’t yours”
Oh babe,
this ain’t your dream
You’re thinking ‘bout
the long run
but I don’t think anyone
wants that of you
You’ll be beaten down
tossed around
mistreated
and misused
So the fear crawls in,
inside your eyes
I don’t think I’ve seen that
before in you
You'll been beaten down
and tossed around
but I
I believe in you babe
(but darling no)
So don't tell me it's a dream
("cause it's a dream, just let go and space out")
So don't tell me it's a dream,
I won't believe it
All my boys and I are saying is
“Don’t lose yourself in this”
All my boys and I are saying is
“Don’t chase a dream that ain’t yours”
Oh babe,
this ain’t your dream.

Leaving

Find another lover for this game,
I'm through with you
Love is not a second chance, but trust
I can barely move
Holding on to pain is not my thing
I'll free it away
I am broken to see you go
but darling it's a wholesome pain
I'm leaving you behind.
I've been lonesome in this love for years,
I understand,
What you need is what I can't give
I'm not that man
Even though I've been afraid too long
I gave you my all
I've been trying to heal your fears,
but I got it wrong
I'm leaving you behind.
Even though our past is built on love
I'm fed up with it
What the fuck is this all about
get out of my head
I don't even wanna be here anymore
I'm tired of your love
Pack your things don't make me say it again
I ain't a violent man
I'm leaving you behind.

Ocean sky
03:00

Oh the ocean sky
with it's endless pry
I am coming down
the eastern side of you
Even through the years
I've held on your fears
I am tired of
this long and winding road
And if you see the bird,
tell him I'm absurd
running errands for
the wind and noiseless chimes
Even though my lungs
are just filled with love
I am feeling that
I'm gonna go to waste
Oh I'm feeling that I'm gonna go to waste
Don't leave me now
I need to hide inside your love
At the dawn of time
oh, your name in mine
in a dream I hear you
gently whispering
In the house we had
on the walls it said
"you have done this all
a thousand lives before"
Oh I would do it in a thousands lives more
Don't leave me now
I need to hide inside your love

Stay away
from all you've lost
from all the ways in which we break
from all the ticking of the clocks
Slowly, but surely
we fade away
I hear 'em singing in the room
songs of praise
(I'm singing now)
I feel everything
inside me shake
I didn't even know the ways
in which time could take
I'll tell you my fears
all of my wails,
my past mistakes
Follow me down
follow me
Would you?
I can't shake away
the feeling
of lost and found
The breeze that cools
is not the same
as the wind that takes
but I keep coming back
to this place
where I lay
This great river
just keeps running
on and on
All the little things we do
it's such a shame
all the little things we do
they're taken away
I'll tell you my fears
all of my wails,
my past mistakes
Follow me down
follow me
Would you?
Just gotta tell you to stay
I know it's just a dream for me, babe
but don't tell me, don't tell me now
I'll tell you my fears
all of my wails,
my past mistakes
Follow me down
follow me
Would you?
I'll follow you.

Night
03:46

Oh I could tear your heart apart
falling deep is a form of art
oh I would brake, for a moment
if only I knew how,
stop the voice in my head
that's telling me to drown
Dark is the night
in which you surrender
encase it in wounds
so you'll always remember
Sheltered by the morning sun
calling out my ways to run
oh I could brake, for a moment
if only I knew (how)
stop the voice in my head
that's telling me to drown
Dark is the night
in which you surrender
encase it in wounds
so you'll always remember

Open

I'll meet you in the city
where the boarder's open,
my heart's of stone
I'll break you in the city
where my heart is lonely,
the money's low
Tell me something,
I'm detached
I don't need nobody but you
Keep me open,
and I'll just keep coming around
Keep me open,
and I just won't make a sound
I'll feel you in the city
where I'm counting days
'till I can leave
Keep me in the city
where you would heal me
if I would stay
Tell me something,
I'm detached
I don't need nobody but you
Keep me open,
and I'll just keep coming around
Keep me open,
and I just won't make a sound

In case
05:19
|

The Ocean calls,
in waves it softly moans,
for the shore it yearns
counting the years,
it moves in hues,
endless it it's want (/calm/)
It breaks the tide,
the rocks never leave,
they just mark the time
the space it softly speaks
as it rings inside,
hollow in it's want
I'll stay away
I won't ever call, or sing your name
I'll hold you near,
in case you ever want, or call me dear
I'll keep you distant and close,
in case you change your mind
You know I know babe
you know it takes time
but I've been doing all I can
I've been doing all I know
So you take a little part of my pride,
and turn it inside out
I don't think that I can be doing this
not like this anymore
I'll stay away
I won't ever call, or sing your name
I'll hold you near,
in case you ever want, or call me dear
I'll keep you distant and close,
in case you change your mind

The Road
04:26
|

|
White thunder over city roars
tell Brother I am coming home (I'm coming)
you know the way is paved with gold
I'm creeping down the road
My shadow lingers everywhere
I am the cancer in your head (I am, now)
you know I'll break you from the mold
I'm creeping down the road
But if it rains for days,
will it wash away the sin?
I'll come inside your house at night
breath you in within the morning light (I don't know)
you'll feel the way I hear the cold
I'm creeping down the road
But if it rains for days,
will it wash away the sin?
I'm creeping down the road.

Howling at the moon,
I ain't even gonna call your name again
The crickets are far
holding fear in little jars of copper strands
I could feel something turn
if I could learn a little bit from the wind
oh how far I would go,
oh how far I would go
Buried in the blood,
I am holding on to things I should've left
The feelings of guilt
I could feel at the edge of a turn-event
So carry the cross
recount the loss and build it up again
oh conceal the faith
oh conceal the faith
Close me up,
don't let me down
you would do best
just to keep me around
hold me close,
don't let me sing
Sifting through the years
I am bound to this home we never had
Entangled in fears,
all the joy that I lost just to stay the same
Driving in the streets
I saw the ways in which I could've been
but I'm trapped in your lungs
like water and salt
Close me up,
don't let me down
you would do best
just to keep me around
hold me close,
don't let me sing
don't you worry 'bout a thing
I guess I'll drown myself again
I guess I'll learn to live again.

Nothing left to prove
05:47
|
|||
|
I'm going over old letters from you
between the lines,
a "love you" or two
I'm going over places we slept
and apart from the sheets,
there ain't nothing left
I'm saying goodbye
the only way that I could
I ain't telling you now
nothing left to prove
and I don't need you now
but
I only miss you when I sing.
I could feel it all over me
tearing me down,
I'm too young to see
I could feel it all over me
and I can barely feel you
your falling between
So I'm saying goodbye
the only way that I could
I ain't telling you now
nothing left to prove
and I don't need you now
but
I only miss you when I sing.
