- A Declaration Of Sorts
This is the last time that I feel lonely and sorry for myself.
It's getting worse without your help.
This is the last time that I feel tired.
I've tried to sleep at night and days walk by without much light.
Let me give back just a little.
Let me give back just a little this time.
Let me get back to the middle.
Let me get back to the middle this time.
- A Lesson To Remember
You see your kids born
and they see us die.
This cycle, it isn't perfect
Sometimes you see them and die.
This cycle never stops.
It is a lesson
a memory
How much can you remember?
- A table for four
Brother of mine.
Where are you going?
Drunken stares.
This table just isn't the same.
A wave goodbye from both of our driveways.
Say anything.
You're married now.
This never-ending story of people,
- Day And Nightmares
Bend the corners of this dark room that we have built around our lives. Run around in circles, thinking that we're getting further, but it hurts to look now. It's getting hard to sleep. It's getting hard to breathe. It's getting hard to figure out just where my senses meet. So I've crawled up on the couch on this one day off to figure out which one of us is done. Take the silence that we keep here to break the tension that surrounds us and look down towards the ground to see the swirling dirt make signs like clouds. It's getting hard to think. It's getting hard to leave. It's getting hard to understand just who is going to give. So I went up to escape from our homeless state to leave the rest and think about just us. These day and nightmares fill my thoughts with despair, but that's not what I think about. I'm coming home now and it hurts to look down, but that's not what I think about.
- Dull Way Down
i still love you. is that too much for you to take? an old friend told me that you have to fight for what you want. i could see the look in his eyes that night. the hidden message behind them. (i live and breathe the pain) i picked the dull way down. (i pretend) why dont you understand? (i have my second wind now) why wont you hold my hand? (i miss you) i gave you my life. (even with the lights on) thats the best information since i hurt you last. (i remember you, i hope you do to) give me one more chance. its been a long time maybe. i was thinking. you keep clapping while i sit by the tree. thank you for the warning.
- Hourglass
As I approach, you take what you want.
The cold freezes everything, we need more salt.
The heat we seek to warm the blood in our veins.
Start this fire, we found a place.
Twenty four hours, a brand new day.
Lines near your eyes show a different face. Moving,
our bodies start the healing phase.
"This is over", she proudly says. You're not for me,
- See You In Hell
I'll take Sunday night with a blanket over this old, dark house.
An occasional ruffle, but nothing like you or even this memory of you.
Do you save our pictures like I do?
Home is where you die.
We we're like a lullaby.
You hit like a hammer now.
You used to lean into me.
Now you stand away.
- This Ship Will Burn
(Listen) to me, my best friend.
Permission granted friend, but stay close to my heart
And we'll get through this sad part.
(Wander) with me, my lost friend and find something that makes sense.
We catch drift far from home.
Return to things we don't know.
(This ship will burn) Breaking waves and bitter lives.
(Full steam ahead) Turning tides and hanging minds.
- Trains all talk
The trains all talk at once
and the cars will walk to work
The night is where we started,
and this night is where we'll end.
A thought that brings no comfort to our mess.
You say, "It's always this way"
We can help our fears be faced.
