Somewhere across the ocean
there’s a current just for me
And I will find the river
that will bring be back to you
Waiting on the outside
or the inside
of your door
Forever and ever and ever more
Ever more

It's All Behind Me
03:52
|
|
||
I took your words down to the letter
I followed you like a child
I left my heart out in the open
and you took my spark and made it a fire
It’s all Behind
I’s all Behind Me Now
Raising through the woods
cold as the weather
a rain washed figure with broken bones
all of my ghosts are raising with the sunset
I tore off my clothes and started a fire
It’s all Behind
I’s all Behind Me Now
Broken Bones is my name
Broken heart is my pain

Time
04:18

Time is on your side
if you wish do die
or if you like to lie
pretending you’ve got time
When the sky breaks
and opens wide
and kings and men
lose their pride
when the earth stands still
and give a sigh
I thought we had more time
To say you’ve been there
but know you’re gone
but i’ll be back
with the rising sun
There’s a sadness to beauty
there’s a temperance to
the sea
when the earth stands still
and gives a sigh
I thought we had
more time

Walls
03:06
|
|

As I wait outside your door
I hear you crying your throat is sore
and the hole down the hall
is the hole inside my heart
just busting through the drywall
just trying to break the dark
I thought the walls were outside
I thought the walls were outside
I thought the walls were outside
but you built them into my body
I feel like a camera above the scene
trying to find an angle
trying to find a meaning
I had a dream that you would die and I would live
So I left my place of safety and held you like a kid
I thought the walls were outside
I thought the walls were outside
I thought the walls were outside
but you built them into my body
We found our place in movie screens
Where nothing can’t be solved in the final scene
And I can’t go back
Can’t escape
All these walls

Shake Loose
02:55
|
|
||
Battle-broken blue before I wake
in a dark cocoon of dreams and chains
that I can not shake loose
Beating bones bear my head ache
in a snare of sin my heart breaks
but I can not shake loose
Shake Loose
Taker takes the one and breaks and two
there’s a piece fore him and a piece for him too
and i can not shake loose
Empty eyes reflect and empty view
with enough mistakes I’m bound to break through
but I can not shake loose
Shake Loose

Fire
02:12
|
|
||
There’s a fire hidden in your heart
there’s a cold wind tearing you apart
beneath the hill and
beneath the law
there’s a fire hidden in your heart
and I can’t put it out
and I can’t put it out

Black Water
04:32
|
|

Don’t be afraid my dear
it took a while to get you hear
but I’m going to guard your soul
like it were my own
my own
And I can feel the water raising up
but it can not contain my lungs
I can feel the deep, deeper still
the blackwater raises
Look in the mirror dear
the cracked glass is looking queer
but I’m going to guard your soul
even when you lose control
control
And I can feel the water raising up
but it can not contain my lungs
I can feel the deep, deeper still
the blackwater raises
rises to your soul
rises to the window
and it’s breaking down the door
hide from the blackwater
hide from the blackwater
hide from the blackwater

Lost
04:10
|
|

I woke up all alone
I woke up lost at sea
I woke up far from home
I woke without you beside me
I searched through endless days
I vowed not to cease
My heart burned in it's cage
No key, no company
Somebody's out there
Something has got to change
Look at the face of the moon
And wait for a brand new day
I'm going map out the oceans
Then I want to sail away
Look for the face of the moon
And Wait for the brand new day
The storm took my hope
The wind stripped me clean
The water filled my gaze
And I woke without you beside me
Somebody's out there
Something has got to change
Look at the face of the moon
And wait for a brand new day
I'm going map out the oceans
Then I want to sail away
Look for the face of the moon
And Wait for the brand new day
Somebody's out there

Change Myself
04:34
|
|

Names are starting to slip past me
I know I know you
I know I’ve seen you
but don’t move any closer or I’ll scream
Did you come from this ruddy rain
I haven’t seen you
In so many years
but don’t move any closer or I’ll scream
I wish I could change myself
I wish I could change myself
I wish I could change myself
Will you help me change
Father’s palming his rosary
I forgot what it means
I forgot what it means
but if he moves any closer I swear I’ll scream
Broken frameworks are my favorite things
Like little mirrors
of missing dreams
Sometimes when I’m alone at night
I scream
I wish I could change myself
I wish I could change myself
I wish I could change myself
Will you help me change
So bring on the half-wits
and bring on the Jesuits
and bring all your commonsense
And we’ll all scream
I wish I could change myself
I wish I could change myself
I wish I could change myself
Will you help me change

I'm Ready

This year may be the last one that I see
May be the last one where I bleed
so come over to me
And I can’t hear you when crying
I can’t talk to you when you’re screaming
so come over and tell me what you need
Love cuts through stone
like a staff struck heart
Valley of bones becomes
a work of art
Water turns dry
dry turns wet
Hold me close ‘cause we’re not there yet
This year may be the last one that I see
May be the last news that I read
so come over and read it with me
And I can’t hear you when crying
I can’t talk to you when you’re screaming
so come over and tell me what you need
Love cuts through stone
like a staff struck heart
Valley of bones becomes
a work of art
Water turns dry
dry turns wet
Hold me close ‘cause we’re not there yet

Cover Your Body
04:25

thought I’d never forgive you
not even if I tried
I thought it would grow easier
as time passed by
But I grew older
and I could never forget
the way you made me hurt
when I was a kid
But I will cover your body
I will cover your body
with mine
I built a house of my own
I got a wife
had kids
I don’t remember much before
and all’s fading
even this
‘Cause I’m scared of my memories
and I know my own skin
It will do what it will
until I am completely hid
But I will cover your body
I will cover your body
with mine
