Told you so
02:49
|

I feel your eyes upon my back
Don't tell me why I don't look back
If something's got to die, let it die
O this load will drag you down
A lonesome road to a nowhere town
If something's got to die, let it die
Life is a bad joke and then you die
I'll tell you what I know
When you say you say you love me
I say I told you so
You gave me your heart now you want it back
I'm taking you home, let you sleep on that
If something got to die, let it die
Life is a bad joke and then you die
I'll tell you what I know
When you say you love me
I say I told you so

Into the Fire
03:29
|
|||
How many lies have we been living?
Do they die or do we want to forget?
No time to start a panic search
For all the bridges burnt
Haven't I said from the beginning
I think this is all in my head
I don't want to be afraid to say everything anymore
Step into the fire
This one mistake
Is all we make
I don't want to be afraid to say everything anymore
Step into the fire
The true decay of time is love
I don't want to be afraid to say everything anymore
Step into the fire
How many ends to this beginning?

Never
02:42
|
|||
I'll leave you where you lie
Never said goodbye
Even though I love you
I'll leave you where you lay
Some other day
Twenty years or more from now
Nothing Feels like you
Never seems like home
I'll write you once or twice
If everything's alight
Even though you won't care
I watch a dead blue sky
It never wonders why
It just rises up to be
Nothing feels like you
Never seems like home
So far I've learned
Not to say
Never say
Never again

Love Inside
03:36
|
|||
I been staring at the sun
Waiting for the one to come
Be my saviour
I been spying on the moon
A jealous sister soon to savour
All my failure
There is nothing left
There is nothing lost now honey,
Only the love inside
I never wanted out
Let's take another ride now honey,
It's only the love inside
I been squinting at the stars
I wonder if they are for ever
O how I miss you
I been looking in the wood
Wonder if I could remember
O how I loved you
There is nothing left
There is nothing lost now honey,
Only the love inside
I never wanted out
Let's take another ride now honey,
It's only the love inside
O how to live through all this life
O how to give one more time

Sad Sound Good
04:20
|
|||
I keep on waking up into the future
Some place that I don't belong
Looking for some kind of proof in the morning
To get right what I'm doing wrong
keep on drifting off all through the day time
Just can't seem to keep my mind off
The words that were bleeding
Through every feeling
The first time that I heard your songs
Then you made it rain on the bluest of days
Just like I knew you would
I felt the sting of your suicide logic
But you make sad sound good
I keep on waking up a new world surrounds me
I'm too scared to open my eyes
Looks like the future has finally found me
I hope I can make it this time
When you make it rain on the bluest of days
I almost thought I could
I felt the sting of your suicide logic
You make sad sound good

Ghost Wanted
03:25
|
|||
Ghost wanted
To haunt my mind
I'll leave you honey
I'm you're wilding pine
Most wanted
What I could never find
The years you took honey
I just left behind
Ghost wanted
A nervous wreck
To pass through my life
With a rope around my neck
Ghost wanted to take my place
Sweet drunk and see-through
To hang around the place
Come back she says
I'm lonely as hell
I'd love you to stay
But I know you to well
Ah c'mon I said
Don't lie to yourself
You don't want me to stay
Anymore than I have
Ghost wanted
Some other time
I love you honey
I'm your wilding pine

Last Days
03:20
|
|||
Started a song
Wrote it down
It was a sweet song
But since you weren't around
Words turned to blood,
Love to graves
Did I lie,
Did I tell you I love you?
Coz I wish I did
O it's true
Most stars burn unknown
To any other
You,
You my other
Are so much lonelier than that
Now all of the songs sound the same
Only the last days remain

Fear of the Dark
02:30
|
|||
Some say you're insane
When you drift off in your darkened brain
Make no mistake
When we're asleep the world is safe
Fear of the dark
Like love lies to a bitter heart
The sun escapes
The dreamer to the dream awakes
Bearing up the walls in your mind
Falling down all the time
Breaking down inside of every line
I can't be down all the time

So it Seems
03:36
|
|||
Your dust is gold
Every mess you make
Is a little more that
I can take
Warm bodies cold
A bloody winter frost
Can kill the best of us
Falling in and of dreams
Is this as bad as it seems?
You love is dirt
The blood under my nails
The way I cling to it
Falling in and of dreams
Is this as bad as it seems?
When I think of what we lost
Stoned and sweet
Or so it seems
Falling overboard in mid-stream
This is a mad mans dream
Your dust is gold
Every mess you make
Is a little more that
I can take
Falling in and of dreams
Is this as bad as it seems?
When I think of what we lost
Stoned and sweet
Or so it seems

Bread and Bones
03:33
|
|||
She was a gravediggers son
With the coal-line blood
That burned to run
Unstrung the star light
Broke bread and bones
with the lung worm
On his starry throne
When, when everything that you touch turns away
When, when everything that you love starts to fade
He was a dead girl named Keith
Broke the sun down
Buried it beneath
Where the worms roll
Quietly now
In the blood shoals, kissing her crown
When, when everything that you touch turns away
When, when everything that you love starts to fade

Monday Night Dixieland
02:27
|

Monday night Dixieland
That sounds so far away
If only I
Could call you and ride
That feeling back to you
O, o, o o I loved you first and best
Dreamed our dream
The world it seems
Is worn out and don't fit
O, o, o o o I loved you first and best
O, o, o o o I love you first and best
Monday night Dixieland
That sounds so far away

Unto the ends of this Earth
Everyman walks a mile
From his death til his birth
He is a slave who must smile
Be this heaven or hell
He may range far and wide
Only to return to his self
Unto the ends of this Earth
You drag your feet in the sand
For whatever its worth
In the palm of your hand
Is he promise of truth
Has it a place in your plans?
There's only freedom to choose.
Unto the ends of this Earth.

Bitter End
04:35
|
|||
I have never been lonely
God knows I'm alone
Ever fallen out of love with a friend
Ever fallen far from home
Remember promises made
Too hard to keep my friend
Well I guess this must be the bitter end
I know what you hear in the silence
Before I can begin
I listen to the rain in your garden
The fear we're living in
Remember promises made
Too hard to keep my friend
Well I guess this must be the bitter end
Night after night
Star fire in your head
I never dreamed that my love
Would burn in your hands
Remember promises made
Too hard to keep my friend
Well I guess this must be the bitter end
Remember promises made
Too hard to keep my friend
Well I guess this must be the bitter end

Cemetery Stone
06:05
|

Nothing belongs to me
Nothing but I can see
Everything that falls before the storm
Everything that I will ever be
Nothing belongs to you
Everything you thought you ever owned
Was a prisoner just dreaming of the day
You would love it just enough to let it go
Nothing belongs to me
Anymore than I could ever say
You belong to me and I to you
How ever many words I rearrange
Here we stand
A world apart for all our clever plans
Here we are
Nothing belongs to me
Nothing but I can see
The beauty of each moment that you gave
The weight of every word I'll never say
Nothing belongs to me
Anything I thought I'd ever known
Was washed away before the morning came
Like words writ upon cemetery stone
Here we stand
A world apart for all our clever plans
Here we are
Nothing belongs to me
Nothing that I can see
Nothing
Here we stand
A world apart for all our clever plans
Here we are
Alone
