Juniper Gun
02:00
|
|||
Sitting on sun
Reflections in the water
The brothers and the daughters
Looking for fun
Innocence is wasted
Unsure of what the pace is
Cheapened by the run
Youve got the cards you're able
Lay them on the table
Trigger on stun
What people take for granted
Dry seeds left unplanted
Love is never won
Locusts swarm your best incentive
Falling for the false pretention
Juniper gun
Pointed out your contradictions
Wishing life was less than fiction

Gripping Reigns
02:25
|
|||
She went runnin' round
Ties of trust unbound
Sunken skin and a blue eyed mark
She stabbed me in the dark
So I went looking out
Torn-toed and worn out
She said youll never find:
"A horse thats left a man behind"

Under Waning Crest
02:00
|
|||
When you think you're going home
All alone
Think of me
Comfort comes when you roam
Over stone
Through green trees
Eyes closed, they're blinking fast
To wash the past
Another day
When you're taking off that dress
To please the rest
Think of me
I wish that I could lay beneath your breast
Under waning crest
Untill the sun begins her ascent
Warming our sleeping friends

Heart Like the Sun
02:43
|
|||
You've got a heart like the sun
Nothing's lost and nothing's won
I cannot forget who you are
Even with goodbye
Will you put on your best
and wade into the deep
Where the lost lovers lie
and the ill-conceived sleep
It's dark down below and it's cloudy as hell
Im ripping the pearl out from under its shell
All I see is my father, "You've really done well"
How far is the surface?
I never can tell.
Well, I boarded this train
Even tried to stop the rain
With raindrops heavy like stone
We both got wet
We're tying knots in the sand
I dont undestand
Keep on trying to forget who you are
Even with hello
You stand like a stone when you're begging to fall
The others all laugh as you climb past the wall
They're nothing without you, you're nothing as well
It all goes to waste, but you're stubborn as hell
Thinkin' about Elizabeth
and how she used to lie to me
Thinkin' about Elizabeth
and how she used to cry
The ticking of time
The ripping of tides
Roll on your left side

Ladybird

|
|||
Marigolds
Planted in the front yard
Elizabeth
Touch me, but you're so far
Clean slate
I can see your true face
The hidden shame
I can see the faces in flame
The broken bridge
I remember good times
Ladybirds
Dried up in the warm sun
|

Wilted Blue
01:51
|
|||
Deep in the folds
of wilted blue
Misdirection my love
Unguided and true
The poles pointed fair
I solemnly sprayed
as I pushed back your hair
I wish you had stayed
|

Calm of The Rise
02:09
|
|||
The air is warm tonight
I'm feeling strange out in the calm of the rise
No time to think about why
We're killing foxes in the prime of our lives
I'm leaving skins out to dry
WIth good intentions ashes float to the sky
I'm trying not to think twice
Should get some sleep before I look at the time
Free hands to wipe clean the knife
Feel my skin
against yours

Wrapped in Wings
02:51
|
|||
Wrapped in wings I heard you
Call my name
Behind the brush I saw you
Cut your hair
Nude at night I felt you
You were mine
Once there was a woman like moonlight
Erased by the sun
Used to rest beside me
But, I can't remember when
Here my passion's fading
Arrows fly
Aim is tried
Heartbeats change like water
Changes tied
Lovers die
Still I sit here reeling
Tell me why
Once there was a woman like moonlight
Erased by the sun
Used to rest beside me
But, I can't remember when

Sharp and Warm
01:00
|
|||
Eyelids heavy
I thought that I was ready
My body's regretting
Staying up for you
Yet I can't replalce
The lingering taste
of your tongue so sharp and warm
I thought i saw your outline
Like a blind man sees the moon
and when that sun came rising up
It rose right up with you
|

Babe
01:18
|
|||
I was a babe
I was a babe in your eyes, darling
You were a babe
You were a babe in my eyes too
Those beds we made
a bona fide guise
The lonely stray
An unwise disguise
Green thoughts relayed
The mindless prize
if you had stayed
for the golden rise...
I was a babe
I was a babe in your eyes, darling
|
||||
11. |
||||
Stay another day
You're loved
Stray from all of the ways
you're loved

The Other Side
02:20
|
|||
Think about the other side of life
Fear no wrong
Live life strong
You'll think about the other side in time
Not feeling strong
Living life wrong
Think about it, no reason no rhyme
Im lusting away without you
|

Rock Bone
01:57
|
|||
I have seen a mountain bleed
Through the cracks of a cave
Inside I sat native
and was still for hours
My time became water dropping
Mother's blood weaved through my hair
Still, I was born as blood spilled rapid
Its carress of fury through valleys of bone
In distance my feet, my eyes had'nt known
Untill I was born as blood spilled rapid
|
||||

Locusts
02:20
|
|||
I wont fall asleep
cause I will dream again
Locusts hopping from your house
I watched them falling down
You take the easy path
Passive methods of attack
Dotted wings clipped from your back
I watched them falling down
|
||||

See-Through Skin
01:03
|
|||
In Xochomilco
with a ten foot pole
Before Id built up
feelings for the road
Looking for happiness
Inside of a bag
and waking with armfuls
of baggage to drag
With skin that's see-through
the sun burns you bad
