I've been strumming these chords for my whole life finding a sonnet in each sunrise while still singing you praise for the darkness it's tiresome, if I can be honest I have been living too long your doorstep trying to break into your fortress longing for simple words of conviction but you always trail off at the end of each sentence surely, there's a cure for this madness I could join the mystic revival in the mountains or travel the world in one of your spaceships lay down my fortunes like Bukowski at the races when living is just a series of disappointments and love is just an idea that we poisoned Maybe I will find you after I conquer this cancer when I speak to the void and it answers the wind still blows over Savannah and I still don't know what I'm after like a sturgeon is unaware of the river I think you were sent here to break down my filters (hold on... these days don't betray what's still to come...) I've been singing these songs for my whole life born from the shadow and the dim lights it's not a muse or Euterpe that I search for my resolve is not a relic of your cold war I make my way through the trails and the cliff-falls across the country divided by great walls beneath every monument erected to malfunction it seems we're all here searching for something... but the wind still blows over Savannah the heart still beats faster and faster like any rose that's unaware of it's beauty I think you were sent here to cure me (hold on... these days don't betray what's still to come...)

if the wind could lift me from this body raise me up as the clouds are parting and the sun was breaking for me i would sing your song so clearly every corner of the earth they'd hear me and in my song I name you my queen one day when the oceans rise up and each of us becomes an island I would swim the globe to find you there will be days that are against us there will be times when we can't stand up there will be miles that lead us nowhere there will be days we know surrender there will be days we know surrender if my voice could rise forever reaching up to touch the heavens i would call your name out on high but when the sky erupts in lightning and all the world around is frightening i will look to find strength in your eyes and when the night surrounds us finally we all walk into the darkness blindly i can always count on your light t here will be days that are against us there will be times when we can't stand up there will be miles that lead us nowhere there will be days we know surrender there will be days we know surrender there will be days we know surrender there will be days we know surrender

they broke your heart into pieces more pieces then a heart can be made from Leviathan the whale, circumspect in jail just like the seed that you came from Don't push the river don't tear at the seams don't stand at the canyon the edge of perilous dreams when we rebuild we build anew that means we start from nothing Don't push the river it can flow by itself you question existence like any book on your shelf when we rebuild we build anew we start again from nothing the days run away, as the pendulum sways every bone in your body was put there to break time's just a trap, a slap on the back a curious abstraction, innocent distraction don't twist your spine, don't hunch your back don't wait for answers, learn how to react don't furrow your brow, don't grimace and sigh a daily reminder of the beast buried inside Don't push the river don't tear at the seams don't stand at the canyon the edge of perilous dreams when we rebuild we build anew that means we start from nothing Don't push the river it can flow by itself you question existence like any book on your shelf when we rebuild we build anew we start again from nothing

daylight breaks without barely a wink like the body in the alley there's still blood in the sink it's been a long night we ran this city dry i've been living like a fugitive, hiding out from friends packing my belongings, think the feds are closing in i've done a bad thing you've always been a bad thing and tonight we drive like we're on the run broken arrows and a stolen gun escape to some far off coast with your ghost... your dreams are unlikely and your fantasies are cheap burnt out on chances, the well only goes so deep the past will catch up things are always so messed up broken bottles and promises, broken bones and long nights sad little speeches from sad little eyes think we've got a problem we come here too often and tonight we drive like we're on the run broken arrows and a stolen gun escape to some far off coast with your ghost... daylight breaks without barely a wink staring at ceiling i've been trying to sleep you've always been a bad thing just another bad dream... think i've done a bad thing

when day breaks the sun escapes clutches of lesser known worlds and light comes to us unfurled the birds here of this lesser known paradise greet the newfound world as a newborn child might the sun kisses your face as we make our way up the hill, and the trees create a frame for the sea as the horizon opens up and we confront our deepest desires and our fears are forgotten for the moment if it's a dream may we never wake die or retire or sink below the waves may we never feel sorrow, may we never know grief if it's a dream may we never leave rain at the window as the storm moves in under the eaves of the house the swallows shelter in like any other creature of this earth we all prepare for the worst take comfort in each other as the thunder clouds burst the sun makes it way like a slowly departing guest under cover of clouds inching further west there is more to discover then an explosion of colors obscures our goodbyes as a parting gift if it's a dream may we never wake die or retire or sink below the waves may we never feel sorrow, may we never know grief if it's a dream may we never leave if it's a dream may we never wake die or retire or sink below the waves may we never feel sorrow, may we never know grief if it's a dream may we never leave

the devil's tower in Wyoming parking lot full of coyotes never bled so red might as well have painted the floor and the chorus sounds just for your pious soul a yellow sundress and her hair in braids freckles on her cheeks and our plans were made got in the car and aimed for the setting sun reborn again as two lovers on the run well the cops got called and the paramedics came the sheriff got my plates from a bystanders claim saw our first set of cherries outside Sheridan not proud of what i done but we needed a new gun made it to Billings before the sun rose Livingston, Bozeman, Butte just up the road found an old dry creek to lay low and wait counted 13 patrol cars on the interstate Now, Angie was scared and she started to cry told her it'd all be ok, we weren't gonna die from a dingy little motel with walls all painted pink rust stains in the shower and a cockroach in the sink stole another lil cruiser and drove to Spokane now we're heading up north up Canada way Angie hasn't spoke a word to me all day she wants to call her mom but I told her that wouldn't be safe sped up on a roadblock just before Colville came outta nowhere just over a hill shotguns drawn over a concrete barricade slammed the car in reverse as Angie - she just prayed the devil's tower in Wyoming parking lot full of coyotes never bled so red might as well have painted the floor and the chorus sounds just for your pious soul

wolves 03:16
the wolves they follow me in the dark they stalk my wounded heart the wolves they follow me in the dark they stalk my wounded heart I don't want to go home tonight I want to sleep outside Leave a trail of blood to my bed breadcrumbs scattered in the night I don't want to rest my bones until I can meet their eyes see my fear reflecting there see that dark, in the dead of night the wolves they follow me in the dark they stalk my wounded heart the wolves they follow me in the dark they stalk my wounded heart it's been so long since I've been home don't even know where that might be it's been so long since I've felt so strong lately I'm walking with the beast now the sky it opens for me and the night may never end the plains roll out before me like a kind prayer from a friend the wolves they follow me in the dark they stalk my wounded heart the wolves they follow me in the dark they stalk my wounded heart

midnight, I hardly know you the hour of things to come the stars here all are frozen in praise of the coming dawn you barely noticed when the last light died out and the colors seeped in from the gray we all pay our dues in the dark so deep and wait for these things to change our bodies awake... this home here is a quiet mansion a fortress for the things you own one day all that you value will rise to take their toll you barely noticed when the last light died out and the colors seeped in from the gray we all pay our dues in the dark so deep and wait for these things to change our bodies awake... in the forest there's a chorus and it's rising singing naked in the dirt and dead leaves the fire pulls the dark from it's hiding but it's secrets never speak and it's silence never leaves you barely noticed when the last light died out and the colors seeped in from the gray we all pay our dues in the dark so deep and wait for these things to change our bodies awake...

I saw they’re loading your boxes Guess the markets ran dry Time’s not a conscience decision It’ll pass you by Lately I’m just cutting my losses Watching the waters rise Missouri or maybe Wisconsin We could set up a new life But the sun will break through those branches And the light will lift your eyes We’ll get the money straight someday Give it time Spent all our wishes Used up our resistance But we’re still getting by Hold on to convictions As dear as addictions We can only give it time The light breaks in your eyes Traffic outside is a constant Backed up heading west Everyone runs from the problems We haven’t discovered yet Silence settles in the apartment Like a dust it hangs in the air It may be the only thing honest Left in here I’ve said some things I regret And I’ve done much worse I’m still hedging my bets Who will come back first Spent all our wishes Used up our resistance But we’re still getting by Hold on to convictions As dear as addictions We can only give it time The light breaks in your eyes
