Sweet Tooth

At the party we were crowded around
Listening closely as you blew hot air around
I was thinking that you'd catch yourself
but always love it when it's someone else, who lays you flat.
Late in the morning we were stepping out
checking the sidewalks for the cracks which trip us up
we're always careful with the things we say
lucky for bridges which can keep us safe, while the tide's out
In this jealous age are we still chasing love?
Let me lay my coins beside your stack of coins
I can see you grieve at every wishing well
Do you wish you fell? The one who pushed or fell?
We're always frigid with the ones we know
pushing them over if we think there's more below
We're always betting on the one's who'll win
lucky for losers or we'd think it's sinful to age out.
In this jealous age are we still chasing love?
Let me lay my coins beside your stack of coins
I can see you grieve at every wishing well
Do you wish you fell? The one who pushed or fell?

Ages

It was a fable
when you announced it
that you were riding home again
But then you mounted
rode towards the shadows
the dim horizon was elastic
Inside the forest across the desert
But all the world was dark to you
It was a test of the dream fantastic
But all you thought was that it bored you
The dreams of masters
they lead you forward deep in the trees
their voices called to you
You thought you heard them
calling you backwards
but they were whispering a psalm to you
If ye be rebels, unchained a friendless,
expect no mercy in this sun scorched land
You thought you heard them and it left you breathless
but you led forward with unsteady hands
The Ages
Ages
Ages are calling you calling you calling you calling you
The ages
Ages
It was a fable
when you announced it
that you were riding home again
But then you mounted
rode towards the shadows
the dim horizon was elastic

Bells & Towers
04:42

You are a burning bush watching your leaves turn to dust
You are burning up in my memory of you
The streets they are full of us with every window I pass
The nights they are full of us all these memories of you
Where can I find you now?
Where in the Bells & Towers?
Where in those lonely hours?
Though I chose to lose you…
These are the tracks you left seeming to fill in the gaps
now I’ll retrace my steps, Erase memories of you
Drawing each line and cleft, you are imperfect and grey
So how does this feel like theft? All these memories of you
Where can I find you now?
Where in the Bells & Towers?
Where in those lonely hours?
Though I chose to lose you…
You are a burning bush watching your leaves turn to dust
You are burning up in my memory of you
The streets they are full of us with every window I pass
The nights they are full of us all these memories of you
Where can I find you now?
Where in the Bells & Towers?
Where in those lonely hours?
Though I chose to lose you…

Upless

In that dream
when you came
you and your gun you and your gun
We laid back and shot the sky
Me and your gun you and your gun
Then the night
swelled so high
I thought you were gone you and your god
Now awake I see the snow
flying so low shooting so low
the sky just fades
with the ground but he can’t know no he can’t know
then his wings swelled so high
I thought he was you wished he was you
I could grow into another kind of love
I could grow into another kind of love
I could grow into another kind of love
I could grow into another kind of love
Upless meant we could grow
into the ground into the ground
we could dive down so low together
and still somehow survive
now my feet halfway in
where have you been
where have you been

Next Train Out

Oh where did I go so wrong?
Oh where did I go so wrong?
I just left my old neighbourhood
It’s like a fish that’s sinking
It’s like when you quit drinking
I just want to take the next train out of here
Oh where did I go so wrong?
Oh where did I go so wrong?
I just left my home
Oh where did I go so wrong?
Oh where did you?
But like a bride I’m willing
I’ll close my eyes but I’m willing
I just don’t want you leaving me out
The path was clear when we planned it
But now I tear at this habit
I just want to take the next train out of here
Oh where did I go so wrong?
Oh where did I go so wrong?
I just left my home
Oh where did I go so wrong?
Oh where did you?

Wait at the Table

Wait at the table, Wait at the table, Wait at the table
Til your legs come find you
I could have known you, I could have known you, I could have known you
If I’d waited too
Wait at the table, Wait at the table, Wait at the table
Til your legs come find you
I could have known you, I could have known you, I could have known you
If I’d waited too
Before you lived what was your name
Before you left what was your game
Before you loved what was your life
And while you sit you think about?
Whose side were you on? Wait on me.
Whose side were you on? Would you wait on me?
Wait at the table, Wait at the table, Wait at the table
Til your legs come find you
I could have known you, I could have known you, I could have known you
If I’d waited too
Before you lived what was your name
Before you left what was your game
Before you loved what was your life
And while you sit you think about?
Whose side were you on? Wait on me.
Whose side were you on? Would you wait on me?
You can’t undo the dreams of your former days
You can’t undo the ones may still remain
You can’t regret the ones may never pass
You can’t let go if you want to make it last
Wait at the table, Wait at the table, Wait at the table
Til your legs come find you
I could have known you, I could have known you, I could have known you
If I’d waited too
