Thistle and Thick

In terms of years I’ve spent with this its three
What played one cannot say nor perceive
Maybe that’s just my mind playing tricks on me
All see the folds and what can be seen
I slid on down the mountain and hung on cliffs
Let they me slip, reaching from the pit
I yelled and though they heard, sound didn’t exist
And I said I am leather through all, thistle and thick
You took away what defined this place as home
We sat in each our corners and we sat alone
I slept with hopes of waking to the light
Waking to find the day beamed with fights
Through all
You took away what defined this place as home
We sat in each our corners and we sat alone
I yelled and though they heard, sound didn’t exist
And I said I am leather through all, thistle and thick

This is All
05:03

I’ve peaked into the depths of the darkness of my mind
To find inked up lined paper and broken pieces of vine
and a little girl singing love songs to me
She counts them in honor of the vines fallen leaves
And that’s all
Oh that’s all
This place has got the players but there’s no cards in their hands
And I’ve put in all my chips with no pairs or a plan
And my eyes squint and close as I swing for the rope
When they finally do open all I see is no hope
And that’s all
Good thing all I need is you
To pull these thoughts and me on through
Well not right now, but soon I’ll hear my call
But for now, this is all
Around me concrete columns stand on looking down
My only response is to stare right at the ground
Well these people, I don’t think they understand
I’m draining it all in my hour glass of sand
Good thing all I need is you
To pull these thoughts and me on through
Well not right now, but soon I’ll hear my call
But for now, this is all
But sometimes, the sun comes out
The hills move without a doubt
And I feel warm!
Swiftly it changes to fall
One single moment that is all
Good thing all I need is you
To pull these thoughts and me on through
Well not right now, but soon I’ll hear my call
But for now,
But for now,
But for now, this is all

Response

Well the snow does fall
but the heart it stands on still
Pain inflict by flame
A martyr left unkilled
Where this all began
I am still so unsure
Peace, Greece, and a memory
A past life, assumed the core
Fire on the outside
And a burned inside too
Who is my enemy?
I search for a clue
And I find people never change, people people never change
Just DNA gets rearranged
Spiral down, spiral spiral down
Double helix till we hit the ground

Face Your Face
03:46
|
|||
|
You get down on your knees
Not to plead or for love
Well here he comes and there you go
Another show just to be alone
Well if you are who you are
Lets Q and R, cause I got a Q for you
If your 2 plus 2 don’t equal 4
We gotta talk some more
Do you regret the plans you made?
to arrange and ultimately evade the truth?
Don’t it hurt, it’s like the skirt is being pulled below your knees
Time to read the in-between of what is seen
and what is really believed
Well I’m sorry for where you have been placed
but its time to Face your face
I’m sorry to say, but I’ve watched what played
and what was laced together
I mind the weather whether said or better yet, rhymed together
Face the face of your endeavor
I am so sorry to say
Well did he get up and just walk on out
Go pick up your friend while his just shouted on up to his head
They’ll be no baking of break
They’ll just be shaking, taking, making little love instead
So dance around your little fire inside
Cause this indian tribe ain’t making your fire go wild
Child, you’re lacking glasses to see that this butterfly dance was lacking personality
If you’re personally asking me, I believe all need
But the seed for need that he planted in you is half true
You’re losing some of you too
But you can take it all back if you just break through
All the nonsense thats broke into your head
Face Your Face
I’m sorry to say, but I’ve watched what played
and what was laced together
I mind the weather whether said or rhymed together
Face the face of your endeavor
I am so sorry to say

The Cold

The cold, it touches my nose
As the words pour out of my mouth
Now you, you look me in the eye
And tell me you didn't come to lie
You, you have peeled me away
And like an onion I'm running out of layers
You can blame yourself
If you lose this butterfly you've held
So you come down off your mountain
Cause I am drowning
You and I will be alright
Just as long as winter don't one tonight
With my mind on fire, with my heart fighting the weather
Well you and me could be like Adam and eve; all together
So you come down off your mountain
Cause I am drowning
You and I will be alright
Just as long as winter don't one tonight
I may stay, cause it’s all I
Know this: I’ve meant every word I’ve said

Again, Goodbye

Again, Goodbye
Oh how I wish our shirts would intertwine
when we embrace
You take the North
and I will hold on to the Eastern shores
for every two weeks
In all of my concerns, there’s always a sense of known
Again, Goodbye
Though I know its not the last time
Each sadness can break

Vest

We've come quite along way
since this trips begun
We have starved and desiccated
and thinly each's been strung
We've paddled up some dark streams
cold the waters were
Pulling hands from the darkness
no matter how our strength was hurt
I know where I splashed the fire
I know where I went wrong
I've seen the bad weather,
its mark, a peak, won't shake off
Our eyelids have been busy
from the storm of untrue words
You pull down the curtain
I think to fight the birds
I know where i splashed the fire
I know where i went wrong
I've seen this bad weather
its mark, a peak, will stay long
You can throw your remarks
sharpen all their tips
but baby I am leather
no fuck you's make me quit
I know when I splashed the fire
we know where we went wrong
toss me overboard babe
but my vest you wear will stay on

Talking to the Towne
03:23
|

|
As the days they grow just a little longer
My eyes grow heavy, just a bit more somber
And the sleep I need I find no longer
So just sing me a song or two
Just sing me a song or two
Well I've never found two weeks to be harder
And I'm finding out that I'm drifting from smarter
To take my heart and piece back parts
I'll play my part I swear
Well the sister of my baby well I need your lady powers cause I'm all on my own
And I'm losing where I'm standing and my picture’s not so candid
This is all I know
All I know
Well I've felt so small
But these city buildings seem less tall
I think I'm feeling a change
Please make her feel the same
So set me down just ever so lightly
But have no fear, I allow for you to fight me
Cause I am strong, brave, here, and frankly it excites me
So swing with your best shot
Cause the sister my baby gravity well it don't phase me
Cause I'm back on my feet
So watch me rid the sighing, I'm the mountain and I'm the lion
So here I am, what you found
Is me smiling

Nature Has Her Way

Cause nature always seems to have her way

Sun Ain't Shining
06:49
|
|||
|
No the sun ain't shining down on me
and the wind ain't blowing through these steel trees
As the animals around they learn to see
I'm drowning in this darkness trying to breath
Now my heart is boiling, burning crimson sage
as I lay my thoughts out on a satin page
And the combination leaves my left to lay
drowning in this darkness, no sun my way
Cause the sun ain't shining down on me
And the wind ain't blowing through these steel trees
Well if the sun did shine
I'd still have enough tears to keep me from getting dry
Well I've tried to stand on these old legs of twine
Maybe just one more time
I give everything I can
They'd never know
Cause the sun ain't shining down on me
and the wind ain't blowing through these steel trees
As the animals around they learn to see
I'm drowning in this darkness trying to breath
Cause the sun ain't shining down on me
and the wind ain't blowing through these steel trees
As the animals around they learn to see
I'm drowning in this darkness trying to breath

Excavate
06:15
|
|||
|
There you stand against the wall
I, your choice, will choose this call
and will you stand
by me
Then in another instance
I watch your childish wave
and my heart is warm
yet cold as the snow beneath my feet
Excavate the dirt
Rejuvenate in light
Tear this ruinous shirt
Only naked, we thrive
All in all
I fear to disappoint

For the Blue-Collar Men
06:03
|

|
There you lay a broken piece of glass
Your painted color faded with the evenings past
If you had just more time, or held it better
The golden light would shine through each letter you spoke
You found a new way to say you’ll stay
And hold off doing all the things you
Keep on saying, keep on staying the same
The right of passage is the here and now
and I know you’re slowly wilting to the ground
But your cancer can be cured
No matter how deep of a stage you’re in
For all its surprise
But you must not take fear and see
That you aren’t happy, you will be happy I swear
For all you’ve done, for all you overcame
For each song you’ve sung, you have found your own name
Sure there’s other places for her name
But for every window sill you know there’s always some pain
So don’t let your mind take your heart
For you’re about to arrive at the best part
Of you may want to shut it out
Close your eyes and darken world
All around you’ll see it, see just what you are
For all you’ve done, for all you overcame
For each song you’ve sung, you have found your own name
For each color paint, For all that’s not done
Don’t worry bout being sane, for you are loved
