It's a quiet night
And my eyes can't seem to focus
(Step outside and catch your breath)
The trees are tall and narrow
And the shadows cast are long enough to hide us
At least until you realize that
My body is a shallow nervous system
Steeled against the cold
And our lives are stuck between
Growing up and getting old
So we'll walk along the cliffside
Where the lake below is freezing
(Step outside and catch your breath)
In the bookstore on the corner
I'll look for notes you left me
I just love the way your handwriting scratches paper
My mind is just a fragile limbic system
Wanting something more
But your body's warm beside me
And there's light beneath the door

Ferryman

And I never dreamt in colors till I saw the quilting stitched upon my sleeve
Where my heart beat so frantically
And I'd never last a day as a ferryman I'm much too content
To let the current pick the roads for me
How much do you have left to?
And there's more to truth than just the words we say
That are better left unspoken
And I'd never last a day filling graveyard beds I'm much too content
To let the sands of time bury me

Vagabonds

Please don't be alarmed I won't be gone for very long
And the memories we made from embers will all be gone by mid-December
And homes, built entirely of smoke
Will fade here like the morning frost and everything will soon be lost
But spring is coming
Back your bags they'll send us running
Through the dead trees in the forest
Melted footprints leading towards us vagabonds
Step out on the porch I just can't hear a thing you say
A stolen bottle from the table will keep us warm inside our fable
And gold, left forgotten by the tides
Will wash up on the shore one day and no one left alive will say
And hope is springing
Through the town the bells are ringing
Sounding out and through the forest
Melted footprints leading towards us vagabonds

Sojourn
03:59
|

It's hard to stay one step ahead
With your head facing west
It's hard to keep your head above water
When there's nothing around you
But I will be gone by the time that this song
Reaches Chicago
If it's light out where you still are
Please stay awake for me
You were born with your mother's eyes
And your father's demons
And what's in a name except every dream
They couldn't have
You cut yourself on blades of grass
And in bathroom mirrors
So let the fire run it's course, and burn away your skin
So no one can say it's not beautiful
I am the man in the crowd, at the scene of the crime
I am the weakness within, spilling secrets like win
I am the flaw in the plan, when it's all going well
I am the mark in the room, with a signature tell
So pack up all that you need, cover your secondhand scars
Build your walls up with lies, till they're all that you are
Those tiny deaths in the mirror, will keep you standing up tall
Only trust a new face, with your back to the wall
And please go
