Concrete Fields

|

|
Kicking trash on concrete fields
Crane arms blaring plastic wheels
Come on honey
Touch my skin
Tell me that I’ll never win
And I...
Never meant to tell you
That I want to
I Never lose
Take a plane
And then a bus
To the city
To get lost
Try to find
My way Around
My many thoughts
And settle down
And I
Never meant to tell you
That I want to
I. Never lose

Forever
01:42
|

|
When we were together
I knew It'd be forever till you
Sent me away adieu into my Grave
Our skin would row an inch to the ground
Be the happiest two in our little town
Laughter etched in wrinkles on my face
But now forever's come and gone
And I'm left wondering where it all went wrong
Till death do us part,
Well you did your part
And now forever's come and gone

Hang Your Hat
01:58
|
|||
|
There are times in life
When you want to die
And times when you feel alive
You wanna stop swimming
And come up for air
Won't you come, come, come
ou have been with me
From blue to brown
and hopefully We'll see it through
The sun will rise
Dry morning dew
And we'll see grass is still green
Won't you hang your hat
On my broken heart
And make your bed in my soul

You Are a Song
03:31
|
|||
|
I can hear you
Like listening through a wall
Read your lips through
Stained glass windows
With the curtains closed
You are a song
Speechless words from
Those who've never sung
You're the bird perched
On the tip of my tongue
You are a song
This dance will never end
Tangled in words
And I step on your toes
Whispered notes in
The cleft of my nose
You are a Song
This dance will never end

I Will Remember
02:42
|
|||
|
Tried to forget but
I will remember to a
Time when time wasn’t trapped in my pocket, and a
I could stay up, my love in a jar
And keep myself up just talking to the stars
Get tired and I go for a drive
Eyes open looking up at the sky
Fifth gear goin seventy five
and I’ll see you when I crash into sleep tonight
The trees are rough and they’re playing pretend
Undressing and they’re making a mess
Getting ready for the snow on their bones
Roots awake, and they’re diggin at the stone
Books burning words are ash in the air
Daddy’s cheerin but the children are scared
Feed the fire while you sit and you stare
Pages turned to their untimely flare
Tried to forget still
I will remember to a
Time when time wasn’t trapped in my pocket, and a
I could stay up, my love in a jar
And keep myself up just talking to the stars
Get tired and I go for a drive
Eyes open looking up at the sky
Fifth gear goin seventy five
and I’ll see you when I crash into sleep tonight

Great Father Whale
03:08
|
|||
|
Come through the ornate wood doors
They’re never locked
Just leave your worries in the bag
Come out on the lawn oh
I’ve set a blanket
And made a fire with a log
Dark green cresent grass
It hugs a blue circle pond
And forest meet a rocky bluff
I climb a tree to find a
Long branch to walk off
And then I make my thirty foot fall
Not flips or cannon balls oh
I never learned
To make the most of my mistakes
There you are
It’s been a while
Are you coming
It’s time
You introduced me to myself
Great Father Whale
With Visions over waterfalls
Corner of a mouth
Turned into smile
And crows feet from a weathered eye
There you are
It’s been a while
Are you coming
It’s time
Come through the ornate wood doors
They're never locked

Think Like Breathing
04:35
|
|||
|
Thinking is like breating out
I can't seem to hold my breath
I feel madness lurking in
Midnight lattice wandering
Caught in brambles of my shame
Shadow Vines that hide my paon
Tear my teeth out by their roots
And cut the weed that caught my foot
Anger flows from shoulder wrist
Solid bone and tightened fist
Smash through walls of brick and stone
I don't choose to jump over

Send Your Love

Ookoo Ana Lay
Send your love my way
Surely you have heard
Driver’s vision blurred
Total and goodbye
Passing satellite
Whisper in the rain
Naked red wine stain
Ookoo Ana Lay
Send your love my way
You could have come with us
You could have seen it through
We would’ve been with you
Through every shade of blue
