Hearts on Fire

open up your eyes
let me surprise you
watch me
my hands upon your skin
I want to pull you in
come closer
crash into me
tempo and the time
rhythm of the climb
you move me
my heart is beating fast
I want to make it last
I count to myself
one two three
hearts on fire
my heart’s on fire
give me a line to walk away
I’m burning up
burning down
burning
shadow and the sea
take them both from me
unbeholden
damage and the dark
it’s just a little part of me
hiding away
scars are hidden though
they begin to show
as you know me -
as easy as they come,
words become undone
do you love me
my heart’s on fire
give me a line to walk away
burning up burning down
burning
you’ve got a hold on me
now that you’ve got me
you better not let go of me
you gotta hold on me
burning up burning down
burning burning

heartless hungry days
a reckoning is gonna bring the deluge in
numbness steals the heart
safe to say I won’t obey
listless
it’s not enough
you hide away to feel okay
well I’m gunning for you
let go
let me in
move away from where you’ve been
come on
make me love
make me burn
make my heart ache
make me feel
heartless hungry days
you lose the thrill to make the kill
your ego eats you
jadedness bores me
why waste away your numbered days
come on
make me love
make me burn
make my heart ache
make me feel
make me run
make me turn
make my heart shake
make me feel
make me sing
make me learn
for my heart’s sake
make me feel
don’t you want more
well I know that I do
no holding back now
what are you going to do
make me love
make me burn
make my heart ache
make me feel

Coming For Me Now
04:12
|
|||
preacher’s gone away
I was hoping he would stay
the moon is hunting me tonight
hear the rustling of the wind
autumn’s come again
no man feels winter comes too late
who is coming for me now
the reaper man don’t know
and I’m bound to tell him
so I ain’t done all that I got to do
while the devil’s been my friend
I’ve been reborn again
preacher said the water washed me clean
who is coming for me now
preacher’s gone away
I never thought he’d stay
preacher I need me some more wine
I never thought it’d be
just one time for me
saving me’s too good of a good time
who is coming for me now
preacher says I’m saved
devil’s got my spade
who is coming for me now
preacher’s gone away
I was hoping he would stay
that moon is hunting me tonight
while the devil’s been my friend
I’ve been reborn again
the preacher said the water washed me clean
who is coming for me now ?

Whether
03:50
|

whether you know it by name
whether it’s vague and in vain
whether it’s sadly the same
come on in
whether the tide dragged you in
whether you’ve stumbled again
whether you fear it’s a dream
come on in
whether you’re singing
whether you’re numb
whether you do it for fun
come my dear
gather around the fire and
don’t worry or wonder
is it what you deserve
raise your cup and sing
hey oh hey oh slam it down
away oh way oh
we will need at least one more round
hey oh hey oh slam it down
away oh way oh and you’re done
whether you wanted your fame
whether you shouldered their shame
whether you’ve tempered the blame
come on in
whether you thrilled on a lie
whether it was do or die
whether you care to know why
come on in
come my dear
gather around the fire and
don’t worry or wonder
is it what you deserve
raise your cup and sing
hey oh hey oh slam it down
away oh way oh
we will need at least one more round
hey oh hey oh slam it down
away oh way oh
and we’re done
now that you’ve come through the door
and you’ve had the floor
do you find you want more
since you came in

Never Too Far

NEVER TOO FAR
“nolite te bastardes carborundorum”
why did you have to go
bend your knee to gilded thrones
obeisance has its toll
you are heading nowhere but down
do you want to leave your crown
do you want to burn your paper town
if you’re wanting to turn it around
I will catch you cause
you’re never too far gone
you can’t come home
demand and demand and demand
burning headlights scare the lamb
the hammer’s heavy in your hand
don’t let the bastards get you down
do you want to feel the ground
do you want to let go free fall down
if you’re wanting to turn it around
I will catch you cause
you’re never too far gone that
you can’t come home
well you’ve been running so hard for so long
it’s getting to be like a new normal
and the harder you run
the more you burn it away
you told me nobody’s broken
but some lose their way
you’re never too far gone that you can’t come home
you’re never too far gone
now come on home
any day
any time
come on home
open doors
open arms
come on home

Purple and Gray
04:08
|

she wore a ribbon
purple and gray
so he would know her
as she slipped away
I hope you remember
If not now, someday
I wore my desire
purple and gray
feeling the echoes
fading away
shadows whisper
sometimes they say
can you hear me
calling your name
like thunder
purple and gray
purple for the sundown
purple for the sea and
gray for the others lost between
purple for the chaos
purple for pain and
gray for the coming of the rain
heard there’s trouble in the canyon
hallowed ground giving way
can you hear me
purple and gray

Homeward
03:50
|
|||
I wonder where I’ll be when I’m called to come home
will I be with you or will I be alone?
in the dead of the night will I slip away
when it comes to pass I would say
buy me a drink
drink up a round
don’t be sad
we are still around
some will say their prayers
just sing me a song and
I will watch over you and
I will see you
I will see you before long
everyday will come - not a one will last
will you let it go or will you hold on fast
my heart beats harder as we all draw near
raise ‘em up, raise ‘em high my dear
homeward
it’s time to head on home

Who Ever Says
04:21
|
|||
I promised I would lie for you
just like you wanted me to
no one survives all the lies we keep
we all hold on to what we want to believe in
don’t call the cavalry
don’t overcomplicate it now
we play the hands that we have
tell me who ever says all that they mean
just tell me who ever says all that they mean
any way
I used to cry over you
now you know it would be so damn hard to do
you pushed away so I wouldn’t know
how far beyond you were willing to go
don’t call out the cavalry
don’t try to justify it now
how could you
how would it be
tell me who ever says all that they mean anyway
they say you are a diamond
I don’t see you shining any more
I’m not holding out for you
who ever says all that they mean
I don’t see you trying
I can’t hear your lying
I see through you
no matter what they say

As I Lay Dying
03:13
|

as I lay dying what will I see
will I see pastures promised to be green
will I see blue skies falling into the sea
will I see you coming for me
as I lay dying what will I hear
will I hear voices of those I love and hold dear
will I hear echoes of forgotten years
will I hear you calling for me
as I lay dying what will I feel
will I feel the haunting of untended dreams
will I feel the burning of a wound unhealed
will I feel you coming for me
I’m holding sunlight in my hands
breathing perfume on the wind
is it madness
is it fear
all these questions of the end
heaven is here and now
if we make our own eden
I’m letting loose the reins
come on, hear your angels sing
though I know the song will end
I will sing on
as I lay dying who will I be
I will be full of thunder and lightning
I will have loved this life as life loved me
I will find you coming for me
I will feel you coming for me

Frickin' Awesome
03:41
|
|||
sharp teeth can hide in the softest mouth
I heard what you said
I know what you meant
but I’m playing the long game
you push me down
I’m going to push away
you got what you need
so take it and leave
cause I’m not gonna back down
now if I kept
all of the stones
that you’ve thrown
I would not know my own
I am not willing to be somebody’s shadow
oh in my mind I’m awesome
I’m frickin’ awesome
say I’m proud
that I live too loud
it isn’t for you
that I do what I do
and I’m gonna keep dancing
I will double down on my daydreams
come on now raise high the roof beams
no more hiding out and away
I am right here right now
oh in my mind I’m awesome
I’m frickin’ awesome
I might go down in flames
but I’ll make it burn
so they see it for miles
I’m tired of fighting
tired of trying
I’m giving all of me
oh in my mind I’m awesome
I’m frickin’ awesome
