Wind Chimes
(instrumental)
Window to Winter
Can you close the window?
It covers us in snow
Father leaves it agape
And our breath takes its shape
Father says it’s just right
And it lets in the light
His whiskey keeps him warm
While we survive the storm
Baby Lily cries, cold
Susan’s blue fingers fold
And my shoulders shudder
We stare at the shutters
Father thinks we feel his warmth
But we only see storms
His rage, we feel the blow
Will you close the window?
Telephone Lines
I remember you calling
It was three in the morning
You asked me to sing
It was a song we knew
And about halfway through
I wished I never knew you
I wished I never knew you
I wished I never knew you
I remember our walks in the night
Silhouette in the streetlight
And everything felt right
It was a path we knew
But as we made memories new
I wished I never knew you
I wished I never knew you
I wished I never knew you
I remember the tears you fought
And in the words your throat caught
I heard you ask me about God
I told you it would be okay
And that I’d be there for you every day
But you felt yourself fall anyway
And as you flew
As I always imagined you'd do
I wished I never knew you
I wished I never knew you
I wished I never knew you
I won’t ever listen to
That song I sang for you
Luna
You give the sea your devoted love
While you reside in stars above
And while the sea will never leave
It is always reaching for you
Luna, Goddess of the Moon
While we build our monuments
You just watch in reverence
And while I climb, I can't let you find
My hand reaching out for you
Luna, Goddess of the Moon
If you only knew
Our perfection looks like you
The poems and the stories we write
Inspired merely by your sight
The craters of your crest
Where your endurance shines best
And we clamor to see the dark side of the moon
But Luna, that’s up to you
Goddess of the Moon
I’m content with watching you reach
For the sea, I am not as broad or deep
But I want you to believe,
If only you could believe
You were worth crashing down for
Goddess of the Moon
Tipping Over...
(instrumental)
...Into The Night
Those things you used to whisper
In those moments, when we were closer
I held them near and felt your warmth
But now my heart is tipping over
I can't tell if you're missing me, or if
You're not as sad as I wish you'd be, but
You once took my hand and held it tight, now you're
Taking off without me into the night
Go out every night and lose ourselves
Collide, fall apart, see what we rebuild
Streetlights beyond sheets of rain
Should’ve saved myself the pain
I can't tell if you're missing me, or if
You're not as lost as I wish you'd be, but
You once took my hand and held it tight,
And now I’m losing you to the night
Desperate
You’re poison, baby
You know it’s true, you know it’s true
Think I don’t want out?
Well I do, well I do
The pawns that you play
Are as black as your heart
Is that why you live,
Is that why you live in the dark?
You’re poison, baby
You know it’s true, you know it’s true
You think I don’t know you don’t love me
But I do, but I do, ooh
The pawns that you play
Are as black as your heart
Is that why you live,
Is that why you live in the dark?
You’re desperate, baby
That much is true, that much is true
You think you can talk your way out
Because that’s all you can do
You’re convinced that to pull yourself up
You must tear everyone else down
But you’re up against the world
And you're headed for the ground
You’re poison, baby
You know it’s true, you know it’s true
You think I don’t know you don’t love me
But I do, but I do, ooh
The pawns that you play
Are as black as your heart
Is that why you live,
Is that why you live in the dark?
Running out of time
At the end of your rope
With your back against the wall
You're desperate
You're desperate
You’re cornered, baby
Nowhere to go, nothing to do
They’ve got torches, pitchforks now
Headed for you, headed for you
These games you’ve been playing, the tables have turned
Can’t trust you with anything, that much I’ve learned
You’ll be desperate for me now
When you’re buried in the ground
They’re filling your grave
You better start screaming
Take Me To The Sea
You took me by surprise
The way you make the sun rise
I want to see you smile
See the gleam in your eyes
You took me to the sea
A warmth washed over me
And now when I see you
I see everything you could be
You took me to cure your heart
The demons there tore you apart
And when the warmth grows to a spark
The light shines on healing scars
You took me by surprise
The way you make the sun rise
I want to see you smile
See the gleam in your eyes
Frozen Ocean
(instrumental)
Your Moon
When your moon’s as high as can be
Go to the woods, come looking for me
Into the woods, come looking for me
I’ll be waiting by the big oak tree
When the crickets are singing their song
I’ll bring my guitar and we’ll sing along
You bring your voice for to sing along
The sun’s on it’s way so don’t take too long
When the leaves are turning to red
And your parents are turning to bed
When those in your house are ready for bed
Come out, take the path where the deer tread
My love, dance with me, we have all night
We’ll be with each other until the light
We can be together ’til morning light
And they say there’s no love at first sight
Urban Exploration
What do you think would happen
When you pulled the curtain closed
Nobody can see inside but
Still everyone knows
Hiding in the cooler
Smoking on your break
Remembering your latest nightmare
Trapped beneath a frozen lake
Wondering where you can go
Wondering how to get there
Is this all you were meant to be
Or would you ever dare
The storm is blowing harder
Your time is running out
You won’t be able to get away
If you’re buried in your doubt
Don’t you see what’s happening?
Morning might one day come
A harsh wind is blowing in
But the night has just begun
Don’t you see what you’re doing?
The Sun might grace the sky
The clouds grey obliterate
What once was warm and bright
Is this all you were meant to be?
Is there more inside to come?
This bridge burning is dangerous
When there's no where left to run
I realize now that you can't help
What refuses to be fixed
Lay your insides out for me
So I can heal this itch
This pain you feel is not your own,
It resides in some division
These cockroaches crawling out
Are blurring out your vision
Side by side, the dying light
Falling apart, the tendons frey
Your time will end tonight
Your time will slip away
Fade To White
(instrumental)
