Falling
04:36
|

Looking out for our old wheels
They’re headed west
Not every silver machine can be you
But I won’t believe
That I’ve missed you
Until I get home
Until I get home alone
On good days I feel numb
But in between it cuts so bad
Sharpen your cleaver please
My ribs they can take no more
But you don’t see
And you won’t feel
Cos you don’t hear a thing
But I’ve missed you
And you missed me
A long time out in the cold
Now I’m falling, I’m falling against my advice
And I’ll follow you back to your room
I’m falling, I’m falling
Those years spent below
I’ll fall you in love with me

Fire

Take my dead skittish dog
And give his cold body back to me
At least now he’s free
From the silent macabre
They say my pain will help me grow
Right now it’s all I know
It’s all I hear, it’s all I see
It’s eating up what’s left of me
There’s nothing to scare you anymore
No crackle of flame to wood
This scares me, this scares me
Plenty more, so much more
Your every twitch my call to arms
Body ready for each alarm
Whether it be you afraid
Whether it be you dismayed
I lay my tears in heavy snow
Given way to your easy spring
Scattered ashes in the woods, today
I wait for our next burning dance
Your fire grows cold

Feet
03:47
|

Street side windows wear me thin
I hate you now like I loved you then
I’m reduced and tearful like before
And I am not okay
Stand so I can breathe again
As I’m Jesus to the most of them
As I lie here I remember when
It was just okay
The fires burned out by morning
Extinguished by the sun
Roses, smoke and lawmen
Holding guns
I hope they’ll all remember when
Their children all stood up to them
And threw back what was thrown at them
And we were so proud
Cameras twist it round and round
How they knelt before they mowed you down
And that red vest kid is grown up now
And yes he is okay
Are words on cardboard louder
Than opinionated men
Stand up to your fathers
Stand up with your friends

Dynamite
03:40
|
|||
Oh no, blocked roads to your home
Dead trees, deep snow
I drive home alone these days
Dear dynamite, I pray you’re alright
Dear dynamite, you’re not forgotten
God bless those Firestones
And dually trucks
Get through this snowstorm
The road speaks through you with lies
A stereotypical sinner
Dead soul, cold hearted schemer

Gently Reckless
03:24
|

Someone wearing my skin
Did all those things
I was not there
Despite the photographs
They said never say never
But I could never agree
With myself, or anyone
This was the last time round
For the gently reckless
What difference
Does a day make
How much can change in a turning round
I’m perfectly unready for the other side
Wish i was a sunny dream
Trade darkness strike a light
This was the last time round
For the gently reckless
Glowing ember, burning bright
Lights our way through day, through night
Glowing fierce, growing strong
A leading light, a shining star
You blaze a trail, make your mark
Do not fade into the dark
Without your radiance close by
Late winter leaves us cold

Liberated Steel
06:31

And there are blinds, although you’ll never need them
Dim the lights, absorb the shadows
I feel safe behind these broken windows
Convince myself that I was born to fly
I feel a change has come
As if my sentence was wrong
Our talks flowed like art
While they tore us apart
I think of truth, I think of liberated steel
Well-oiled tales that never touch the ground
Unbox my thoughts, your eyes they penetrate my soul
It’s just a shame there’s only half of me to know
I feel a change has come
As if my sentence was wrong
Our talks flowed like art
While they tore us apart
There are words about proportionate regret
And these are fights that we haven’t had yet
I hold your hand and pray you’ll never grow old
That’s a dream we’ve just been sold
I feel a change has come

No Season
04:04
|

Stand and soak
Laugh and undress
In the pre-dawn before you go
Sleep in eiderdown
Populate this place
With those things you know
Those things you know
Smell of wet roads
Foliage unkempt
Scent of sun on a brown-skinned arm
Friend, incarcerate
No way of knowing
When you might be home
When you’re coming home
There is no season
That is right for your return
There is no season
We’ll wait, uncertain
Today you left
Ushered out by the
ones who care, but cannot care for
You move slowly
A triumph of sharp mind
What must you think now
That you’re leaving home
You’re leaving home
There is no season
That is right for your return
There is no season
We’ll wait, uncertain
Friend, incarcerate
No way of knowing
When you might be home

Taj
03:53

Cities in the dark
And there’s lights up on the hill
Candles kiss your shoulder
Lone stars, draw my gaze
Though the light it leads to you
It’s just another movie
Lack of sleep consumes my energy
It’ll always be my fault
It’s just fires emerging heat
It’s just fires that never start
Stoned out of my blues
Just echoes of a lesson learned
It’s my heart that won’t be tamed
I’m lonesome without you
I’m a little short of beautiful
And I’ve heard what someone said
Just not what they meant
I’m just glad I’m waterproof

I see you there blue jean tattoo
I see you there southern talker
I see you out on 129
And there’s no way through for you
Downeast, we call them the pickup police
When you’re downeast, you get stopped by the truck police
Turn your truck I’ve made up my mind
We’ve gotta keep it calm, gotta keep it quiet
We don’t need your badge tonight
And there’s no way through for you
There’s locals on 129
And they’ve been pulled by the truck police
And there’s no way through for you
Staring my way

Colourful
04:10

If I were a child
I would mouth colourful
Just to see the look on your face
Because this is not as it should be
This
So let the loneliness in
Let the loneliness in
Oh so surrounded
On a busy empty
Dreams will hold it
Together now you’re not here
Keep my pieces in a box
Arrange them in order
To make a good one
Make these lazy bones decide
Where to turn and who to turn to
And let the loneliness in
Oh so surrounded
Hold it tight
Why did I let you go
The fool is me
The fool is you
We are
Do you all feel the same
Does the song make you whole again
