I see you driving away
On some holiday
Just to leave it all behind
Because his wheels turn
You dont feel the burn
Of the things that you carried inside

You've been sharpening those blades
For too many days
You're tired of looking for a fight
But now and agai

Please don't fall,
On me oh lord,
In a fist of fire, ash and stone.
As the whole world sleeps,
On gold & silver sheets,
I'm picking up my bombs to make it known.

To anyone who stands,
Ten times taller than a man,
With winter teeth and snarl that block the ro

December was just too sad,
For her to call a home.
Even with starry nights
And painted country roads.
There was nothing I could do for her
That I hadn't done,

And my desperation eyes showed
More than I think they should
Have shown.

She's just a whisper,

Upon the air there goes the fire
Rings like a bell a'
Across the divide

Let's end this loathing
Might we wander
And move in silence, through all the thunder
Like we've always done

Sometimes I feel down in the blackness
Reaching upwards
Falling backwards

We are blessed
We are loveless
We are cold and we are kind

We are stressed
We are so thankless
We are deaf and we are blind

And we're pained
And we are joyless
And we're at a fork in the road

We go on
To loved families
And we are sleeping in the

Well, here we are with burning skin
Where we've always been
And we all collide
In the rising tide
Then weather in the wind

We live our lives
Like hands are tied
And dead in days of dreaming
Embrace the race
Of every days
But forsake the feeling

The sun goes down
And you're still here
I'm biting my tongue
And you're bending my ear
And what we have isn't clear.

So I go home to my
Sleeping misses
And shower her with my
Lazy kisses.
I can't stop acting my age
Cause hope stays or it fades.

And

Wake up next to you, honest screw.
Because you always go too far.
So, you slip slowly out, to sit in the next room
And eat your breakfast in the dark.
It won't feed your cold and lonely heart

Hush, hush before you say
Something you can't take away.
You s

Even when the way a head was calm
This hurt was turning in our blood

When it's strong in wake with hunger strong
It pulled us in like a flood

All this story we all know
How the heart grows wicked
And mind grows slow
It's the choice we're making
All alone
U

I remember when we were one
Before we were swept into the roaring flood
When we were wide as the western sky
And even when mountains fell around us
We were calm inside

But oh, when can we go in the endless night?
When the cold is at our heels
And the dark is in our

You say life is a dream where we can't say what we mean
Maybe just some roadside scene that we're driving past
There's no telling where we'll be in a day or in a week
And there's no promises of peace or of happiness

Well, is this why you cling to every little thing
And polv

You're tired of waking up
To that big city drum.
The bustle of streets
Rattle and hum.
And the ones who show their colors know
You're tired of playing your part.
You just want someone to be there
When the lights go dark.

But you know the pain don't stop
Once

In time we're all gonna show our age,
like colored birds in a dusty cage,
and the emptiness from which we came,
will strip us from our father's names.

And there's nothing lost, and nothing gained,
there's nothing different, and nothing's the same,
but while our hearts w

It won't be the same
I turned the lights down and
Then I hit the ground,
And even in the dark,
Lonleliness knows my name

But these eyes are strong
Because you'd never know
That anything was wrong.
I'll keep you holding on
Over and over again

There's a

A restless sleep
I dreamed a dream the other night
Where I rode the back of this blackbird in flight
He took me down just to see what I could sow
Another light in this big city glow

When I touched down
I hardly recognized the place no more
Cause now there were signs

I pull up your drive and I lay on the horn.
Cling to the bottle that's keeping me warm.
Sweet whiskey Jesus I wish I weren't born.

You get up to leave and you hear in the dark,
Those early evening arrows missing their mark.
'Cause they're out to get you, but they don't have

Just take it nice and easy,
Don't go looking for a fight,
There's talk of revolution,
And they're out in force tonight.

And down on the street,
Where the whole city's,
Turning out, singin "we'll overcome",
They're met by the ranks,
Of soldiers in tanks,
Who'

You cast off the chains that tied and bound
You're sick of their talk and won't carry their crowns
You hollowed the space where they darkened the ground
With weary precision you lowered 'em down

Oh preacher, believer
Saint with a fever
You timid only son
You better

That howling wind, it comes
Knocking on her door.
You know I want her here,
But it wants her more.
She's a sad-eyed silver skinner,
With worn & broken decks.
And you can hear her moan,
As the main sail sets.

She says, "Hang on silver girl,
"It's

Here I am, where I've been
I've walked a hundred miles in tobacco skin,
And my clothes are worn and gritty.
And I know ugliness,
Now show me something pretty.
I was a dumb punk kid with nothing to lose
And too much weight for walking shoes.
I could have died from bein
