I reckon I need to find new ways to fill my time
What with all my troubles gone
I could swallow a pill
I could smoke my fill
To pass my days on through
Or I could leave these things, foregone
And spend my time looking at you
Oh, I'd spend my time looking at you
I could mourn the loss
Of each passing breath
Of the days that pass me by
But wondering and wishing
Keeps my hope full of fear
Has me sleeping it all away
Yeah, I've been sleeping it all away
Now I toss and turn
With my troubles now gone
And left me here and empty shell
What will I do at the end of the line
When my secrets have nothing to tell
What do you get from frowning at the world?
You see how it shapes your face
It'll eat through your flesh
No regard for your vanity
Taking from you what it thinks best
When I'm gone, let them dig up my bones
Every year after now
I'll surely have ripples carved into my skull
If I keep on with this surly scowl
Oh, if I keep on with this surly scowl
I reckon I need to find new ways to fill time
What with all my troubles gone

Six months up from a hole in the ground
I'm halfway there
I'm halfway back down
People say time flies
But I think it rains
This dark cloud follows me
Every day
If you're going to bury me
Put me twelve feet down
You better use every nail
To keep me from crawling back out
If you want peace
You've got to move with the eye of the storm
If you want peace
Chaos might be your only hope
If you're going to bury me
Put me twelve feet down
You better use every nail
To keep me from crawling back out
I don't see so clearly now
I don't hear what you say
You know I get so weary now
If you're going to bury me
Put me twelve feet down
You better use every nail
To keep me from crawling back out
Six months up from a hole in the ground
I'm halfway there
I'm halfway back down

By The Same Flame
02:57

|

Before he was gone
She mourned him away
Knowing that he'd never stay
What once kept him close
Now drives him away
What she once loved,
She grieves now, all the same
The same flame that burns your heart white
It'll keep you lying in ashes
Where were you when she called out your name?
Where were you with your burning flame?
If lightning strikes but once in a life
He's still waiting for the spark
He'll wait for you through the wind and the rain
He'll wait till you call out his name
The same flame that burns your heart white
It'll leave you lying in ashes
Where were you when he called our your name?
Where were you with your burning flame?
That same flame that burns your heart white
It'll leave you lying in ashes
On the way in and on the way back out
You get burned
By the same flame twice

Storm's passing
She comes shining
Lit up like she's lit on fire
Primrose
Hiding in the shade
Reaching for the light
Primrose
Hiding your face
Yearning for the sun
Primrose
Wonder
The darkest nights with me
Sleep through the lonest mornings
Primrose
Gather it all
The spoils of the sea
Sick from every pearl,
Your pockets will never be full enough
I ain't got the money
Or the diamonds or the gold
To keep you reaching out for me
But what I give away
Just know it's all I've got to give
And I'd give it all away
Write your stories
Hang your picture on my wall
Share the weight
Of your delicate heart
Primrose
The love in your heart
Paints lines on my face
Let me be selfish
If only for today
Primrose
Let us have this moment
When nobody cares
And nobody waits for us
Primrose

Runner runner
Keep on running
But don't let them follow you down
Fighter fighter
Keep on fighting
But don't let your wounds leave a stain
Lover lover
Keep on loving
But don't let your weary heart take the blame
Dreamer dreamer
Keep on dreaming
But don't let the darkness count your days

Dust

When I was twelve
They were bigger than the Devil
Bigger than life itself
Bigger than God it seemed
Turns out it was just me
Advocated for the Devil
Turns out it's just what I believed
Reconciling all those years
I spent chasing heaven
Will I live long enough
To see my heroes turn to dust
Who am I
Without my villains?
Who am I? Who am I?
Who are we
When all our heroes,
We set them free
And we live long enough
To see our heroes turn to dust?
Look around now
At what I've become
Am I a hero? Or a villain?
Am I ever enough?
Will she live long enough
To see her heroes
Turn to dust?

While My Heart’s On Fire
03:55

Promise me
We won't go on like this
No bets to place but blame
I point at you, pointing at me
Maybe I see us
In six long years
Tired from wanting more
More of the same
More every day
So hold me now
While my heart's on fire
And baby, burn
Maybe you failed
And that's what ties you down
Maybe we learn from our mistakes
Maybe it's love
That keeps us awake
Scared of change
Scared of staying the same
So let it burn
Through the night
Let it burn
Through the night
I'll see you on the other side
The other side
The other side
Your fears, you carry
Like a soundless choir
So hold me now
While my heart's on fire
And let it burn through the night

Pursuit of Happiness
03:07

Was it time
Or was it love
That separated us?
Did we dream of nothing?
If you could read
Back through my words
I can't say you'd see me trying
It's things like that
That keep me going
On my mind
And in my heart
If ever we're apart
I carry a stone for each of these
In my heart
I carry a stone for each of these
In my heart
The brush of your hand
The touch of your hair
Falling on my chest
The rust of your drug
The calm of your touch
Crawling on my skin
It'll never be enough
No never
It's things like that
That keep me going
That and knowing
How to say goodbye

Gone
03:28

She's afraid of commitment
So she draws on herself
And calls them her tattoos
She loves boys with scars
And girls and cars
In bars up till dawn
Up till dawn
She likes all your favorite songs
And she'll dance with only you
She'll sing and sway all day
As all young lovers do
But after tonight
She's gone gone gone
There's no coming back for her
She's gone
The night's always young
Like you're never going to see the sun
You're dizzy and you're spinning
You can only see the whites of her eyes
After tonight
She's gone gone gone
There's no coming back for her
She's a siren
Ooooooo she's a siren
So you walk all the roads
That lead you anywhere but home
Anywhere that'll keep her memory warm
You stumble through the dark following her silhouette
The closer you come
The farther she gets
After tonight
You're gone gone gone
There's no coming back for you
You're gone

Still The Fire

There's been no smoke in the house for days
Still the fire rages on
Still the fire
Burns
Put in the mirror and watch it fade away
Smoke and ash willl never make you stay
Still the fire
Burns
You ain't running from
Nothing you ain't running to
Let the storm chase you
What else can you do?
What else can you do?
Now it's been a little while since you felt the flame
Been a little while since stole away
But now you feel the heat
And you smell the smoke
Way down deep burning in your soul
You've got to still the fire
That burns you down
You've got to still the fire
That burns you down
Still the fire
That burns you down
You ain't running from
Nothing you ain't running to
Let the storms chase you
What else can you do?
Let the storms chase you
What else can you?

And If I Were
03:25
|
|

I'm not the woman
You see, you see
I can't give to you
What I can't reach
You can't take away
The pain inside me
I'm not the woman
You see, you see
A simple heart
WIth a heavy weight
Crossing my fingers
That it's not too late
Too late, too late
I'm not the woman
You see, you see
But if I were
There's no promises
That you'd still love her
That I'd still love her

I'm prepared to never see you again
Ain't that how these things go?
Listen to the timbre of my voice
Your name in every note
Ain't that how these things go?
I sing into the wind
And it whispers back your name
Ain't that how these things go?
Feel the walls closing in
I carved your name in every stone
Ain't that how these things go?
I sing into the wind
And it whispers back your name
Ain't that how these things go?

Last Train Home
05:15
|

You fill my mind
Like a seat on the last train home
Down the tracks we glide
Destination already known
You fill my mind
Like a seat on the last train home
I close my eyes
And wake up right where I belong
Oooh how I long to hear that whistle blow
Oooh how I've longed
Oooh how I've longed
To see my lover's face
Conductor, oh, conductor
Of steel and steam
Grant me safe travels
Like the passengers before me
Conductor take me
Conductor take me
To see my lover's face
Ooo how I've longed to hear that whistle blow
Ooo how I've longed to hear that whistle blow
Ooo how I've longed
You feel my mind like a seat on the last train home
You feel my mind like a seat on the last train home
You feel my mind
You feel my mind
Like a seat on the last train home
Ooo how I've longed to hear that whistle blow
Ooo how I've longed
Ooo how I've longed to see my lover's face
You feel my mind like a seat on the last train home
You feel my mind
