You Can Let Go

self medicate
self deprecate
self help books on the shelf
help, meditate
hard on myself
friends can’t relate
time is your friend
can’t reciprocate
times up come on out
now i’m trapped in the grass
not gonna laugh
not gonna go home
not ready for the crash
heavybodyfrozen
hand on my wrist
hand on my cold shoulder
skies open up
i think i got a little older
sweatin’ on a page
sweating through the maze
getting out the keys
to the place that i thought i put away
million dollar days
innasortaway
i had to get away
to come back
time’s up come on out
the river ran clean as a dream so i swam in its fountain
the fast went/was hard in the jungle on a mountain
fast was the beat of my heart
in the back of my mind was a beautiful truthful shouting
you can let go
that weight you carry with ya
Once and for all
Once and for all
welcome back
that’s at least one big monkey off my back
knew i’d get around to it
i can’t forget the sound of it
but six feet of snow in the snowbanks?
no thanks
time’s up
come on out
now i’m on my side
i’m on my side
livin life right
dark was the night
but you know what
brighter is the light
as above
so below
and through
you can let go
that weight you carry with ya
Once and for all
Once and for all

I’m sure you had it right
down in that foggywood
but we’re turning ashes into gold here
don’t you go and get annoyed
with the mercury risin’
the fire just started
now you wanna switch the song
well we don’t have to get along
it’s hard to sing it
looking down on mirrors
I see it playin’ back again
w/ little pieces of the boy
i’m out of pocket
non-co-operator
Hold that thought for a minute
you just want me to jump both feet down into the bottom of the river with you
it’s not a question you can answer and the second you believe it, it’s true
I guess you got bargained down
oh, oh, by the time I saw you it was clear
Did you let it out at all?
Did you let it out at all?
you want me to jump both feet down into the bottom of the river with you
it’s not a question you can answer and the second you believe it, it’s true
I’m already gone, but I’m looking forward to singing along
I’m already gone, but I’m looking forward to singing along
an open silence
held in vain
you want me to jump both feet down into the bottom of the river with you
it’s not a question you can answer and the second you believe it, it’s true
you want me to jump both feet down into the bottom of the river with you
it’s not a question you can answer and the second you believe it, it’s true

Hotel in Memphis
03:36

something rushin’ my blood again
guess i gotta start the breathe-in’
head moving in all directions
singin’ night of no sleep, wakin up wet
I fell into a hotel in memphis
come down with yellow eyes nearly every night
came home to a war, man it was senseless
callin’ out darlin’ damn
now I’m up at the first light
looks just like i’ve done it again
down forwards and backwards
this time i've done it for real
but there's nothing like a secret
ship’s steaming off in the distance
left myself here on the beach
keep dreaming up new horizons
i stand in cold sand gettin’ cold feet
I fell into a hotel in memphis
come down with yellow eyes nearly every night
came home to a war, man it was senseless
callin’ out darlin’ damn
now I’m up at the first light
looks just like i’ve done it again
down forwards and backwards
this time i've done it for real
but there's nothing like a secret
I bet I was outta line again
made us all awkward in our heads
I’ll find out I will I will
I’ll find out I will I will
its like im running out of secrets i can't keep no i cant keep

well it’s one thing after another
as one friend tried/went to explain
as one friend went down to take a lover
one friend went down and just stayed
everyone I know
everyone’s moving out east
but I love you
I love you dont you steal away from me
well one friend went down to seek the jordan
but wound up drinking from the sea
and another went to take a powder
one friend said they’d come back someday
one friend went down to break/get free
i found out i was no longer living the dream
when it was not about where i was going but where i’ve been
when a cold wind blew and and i settled in

miss the southern sky
miss those bedroom eyes
miss that liar’s tongue
miss the warm goodbye
(in that light)
(in that light)
i miss my lazy heart
i missed my second chance
i miss my unborn child
i miss that warm goodbye
(in that light)
(in that light)
it’s not like i’m running away
it’s not like i’m running away
waking up to find yourself a beacon of good hope
ah ha ha
oh oh
waking up to find yourself a river overflowin’
ah ha ha
oh oh
waking up to find yourself two feet from where you start
ah ha ha
oh oh

Dodge the Rubble
03:52
|

it’s right where your kids go to school
It's all in your lakes it’s in your pools
I don’t know what to do and it’s wearing me down
It looks like your friends
It looks like your lovers
comfy and covered beneath the sheets
And I block out the sun behind the shutters
Can’t trust the light can’t trust the heat
I don’t know what to do
And it’s wearing me down
Yea it’s all I can do
When it’s wearing me down
It’s right where your kids go to school
Holding your hand staying out of trouble
Things get a bit messy when I’m walking home
Gets a touch rough to dodge the rubble
I don’t know what to do
And it’s wearing me down
Yea it’s all I can do
When it’s wearing me down

Heartbeat

You’re looking like your mother did
sittin’ in the same low light
feels like a dream sometimes
but I still wake up in the middle of the night
and then you called me up
and at the other end of the line
was nothin’ but a heartbeat
tell me baby, should I take it as a sign?
I’m trying not to let you go
I’m trying not to lose control
And then the clouds roll in
another night under the rain
music on my window
tell me baby, will it ever be the same?
I listen to the thunder roll in
coupled with the rhythm and the heat
as I slip into a nightmare
tell me baby, was it you?
or was it just a fever dream?
I’m trying not to let you go
I’m trying not to lose control
But it’s terrifying
it’s terrifying

Gigafire

look into the gigafire
as it burns forever
spitting ashy rain on
my brand new leather
i can think of nothing better
than gettin’ lost together
thinkin’ bout the good old days
before the change in the weather
i lay before the mother’s grave
when the link was severed
oh how we broke the ring of time
baby aren’t we clever
i lay before the mother’s grave
when the link was severed
oh how we broke the ring of time
baby aren’t we clever
this could be your very last chance
before it’s gone forever
this could be your very last chance
this time’s not like the others
step into the gigafire
and you’ll live forever
step into the gigafire
and you’ll live forever

Goodbye Cali

Don’t look back
got to get back on the bus intact
got to get back on my buzz in fact
keep sleepin’ it off but the panic attacks
ok back on track
keep losin’ it all
keep makin’ it back
I keep thinkin’ of quitting
but i can’t keep track
when i’m losin
when i’m winning
and it’s all going black
uh huh

Somehow you got in
when my heart wouldn’t let nobody in
it’s easy to forget it
when you’re comfortable and tethered
but i know now i’ve been found
i learned to sing about you
in the winter’s two-year season
it’s a damn fine time to look on
now I speak to you in secrets
you keep me in your spirit
when there’s a cold wind blow’n at the door
but if you set me up
I’ll fall right down
don’t you know that you’re my
salt of the earth
passing through feelin’
the other side
has taken to me
i’m not sure how long i can hold on
where everybody’s dancin’
like spindrifts in oceans
we go down, down, down, down, down, down
and if you set me up
I’ll fall right down
don’t you know that you’re my
salt of the earth
and if you set me up
I’ll fall right down
don’t you know that you’re my
salt of the earth
mm-hmm
the light of the world

Crawl Back In
03:08
|
|||
My simple words don’t explain
all the cards in the game
all the debts left unpaid
so I will harden my heart
and crawl back in
So began my escape
from the arms of my fate
where the darkness awaits
but like a dog, ashamed
I crawl back in
and today, oh today
whether sun, whether rain
we are one and the same
in hope in pain
i crawl back in
and so shall it ever be
that my hopes return to dreams
and my dreams return to dirt
beneath my nails
as I crawl back in
