divorce

talking in circles
wouldn't understand
terms are uncertain
i'll leave it in your hands
darling don't you play those games with me
either tie me up or set me free
is this what true love is for
growing up in the middle of a war
is it time we got that divorce
cause the kids don't need us anymore
can we beat this cancer
that's growing within
now we've got the answers
as seen through our skin
if it gets to heavy let me know
we can carry it round or let it go
is this what true love is for
growing up in the middle of a war
is it time we got that divorce
cause the kids don't need us anymore
no the kids don't need us anymore
they know just what this heart is for

take the fall
03:31
|
|||
you can't see a thing
in the dusty haze of american dreams
you gave your best shot
but the feelings you had didn't make you smart
you packed all your things
you were ready to leave behind the dream
but what for do you really know
the sinkin ship it had to go
she doesn't care at all
and she'll never take the fall
poor you
sometimes i think i'm losing my mind
i'm taking my time recreating the crime
what do you want from me
my love's not enough
you need my well being
she doesn't care at all
and she'll never take the fall
poor you
please forget what you know
just forget it

not uncommon
01:57
|

its not uncommon
for them to hate you
back and forwards in your mind
you're gonna lose
you'll always crawl back to my side
i'm gonna let you
break your heart
its not uncommon
for them to hate you
through and through

calico soldiers
03:32
|
|||
always thought when i got older
i'd take up with the calico soldiers
and let the time just pass me by in line
but i built my life out of stone
gave up everything i owned
put the love and the comfort out of my mind
it's so cruel to be with my own kind
and everyday that slips away
is just like a singing bird
you listen close for the melody
but you can make out any words
all is sacred that you hold in your heart
and it's all connected
and it all falls apart
i went back to selling bibles
door to door with my rivals
i get to feeling so lonely these days
but i've no more mind for fighting
when the world outside is so frightening
and every shadow that clings to me grows long
and all the words that fall from me are wrong
and everyday that slips away
is just like a singing bird
you listen close for the melody
but you can make out any words
all is sacred that you hold in your heart
and it's all connected
and it all falls apart

after dark
03:57
|
|||
i am but a lonesome dreamer
i'll sleep on the porch swing tonight
and look at the stars wondering where you are
the moon is a good friend of mine
and when you come round
you'll see me laying down
staring straight up at the sky
i've got traditions to doubt
and love to give out
so if you want more
come knock on my door after dark
you could be my palomino
my autumn on cold winter nights
and if you were mine i'd step off this line
that leads to where loneliness hides
and when you come round
you'll see me laying down
staring straight up at the sky
i've got love to give out
but i shall not doubt
the starry night skies
that reflect in your eyes after dark
looking around
i see billboards and trash laying on the ground
and we're all busting our ass for tomorrow
but like getting high
she will blind me to my darker side
and wait til another day

darling
02:43
|
|||
darling won't you meet me
i'll tell you what the truth is
and though you could not persuade me
i'll pretend like you do
pretend like you're cool
and some days i feel like the dark is winning
and other days i'm just waiting to wake up
one day when i go crazy
i'll be looking at you
and there's nothing thats gonna make me hear you pray
you look so peaceful your head down
too bad i had to crack your crown
but what else was i supposed to do
when all of it's said
and all of it's done
i no longer feel afraid
like you made me do

gonna find ya
02:58
|
|||
way in the summer afternoon
i'll be coming to find you
i'm gonna find ya
thar she blows i shall croon
claim your soul by my harpoon
i'm gonna find ya
and you're never gonna get away
my eyes will follow you
no you're never gonna get away
no you're never gonna see the day
that my flame's not burning deep in your rear view
i'm gonna find ya
broke my back getting to you
put you on a pedestal
i'm gonna find ya

had to run
04:08
|
|||
lord i've struggled tagging along
but the air's so thick i get it all wrong
everyone was asking were you having fun
all that i knew was that i had to run
i lost my temple i lost my home
how the hell was i supposed to end up all alone
i made myself nobody's son
all that i knew was that i had to run
spending time wondering how it's passed
i count the salt in the hour glass
pulling lines derailing tracks
for those that i love i break my back
those that i love they paint me black
i left a resistance to the man
who rusts them chains just for my hands
face down boy play time is done
all that i knew was that i had to run
did you look both ways when you crossed my son
all that i knew was that i had to run

only the fearless
02:19
|
|||
i wrote a song
thought it might be one you'd like to hear
it went something like only the fearless love
and only the loveless fear
you sang along
i liked your harmonies well enough
you sang something like only the loveless fear
and only the fearless love
well you keep asking why i change my shape
again and again
i keep answering
maybe that's just the shape i'm in
well it's a start
but it don't get you close to home
i'm only lonely around people
people never leave me alone
only the fearless love
only the loveless fear

time to pass
03:47
|
|||
and never was it right to point the finger
but i'd be glad to take the blame
for the trash that the cat drug out
to me this all feels just the same
waiting for the time to pass
but it never does
|

nothing to see
04:19
|
|||
i can't sleep tonight
for too long i've been held by everyone's thoughts
so tell me
whats the point in fighting the clock
things will always be as they've got to be
and you and me will never
realize that it was all forever
when we were young
everything was easy
in my old age i suppose
the road is not what you think
now i look around
everything is just as i was told
not too warm and not too cold
just right
everyone's happy and everyone's healthy
and nobody seems to know why
nobody's happy and nobody's healthy
and everyone seems to feel fine
there's nothing to see
