in the dying summer days
when the sun finally breaks
now you see through eyes spiritualized by pain
leaves are dead on the vine, with no one to blame
you're going back to the city to fill up the space in your head
the streets lined with color remind you of books you've read
do you miss the faces in your mind?
you can't stay happy all the time
you know too much to let it go
are you numb enough to hide from the hungry wind
or will it push you over as winter settles in?
with a weary mind, weighted in the realm of days
in the midnight hour, smoking on the fire escape

a not admitting of the wound until i am so withdrawn
a simple lid of hours that narrow hands pass on
i don't fight it, i live it
flying far from here in the tempting eyes of fate
daring the sky to hold its place
i don't fight it, i live it
left at last in the whirls of what paradise might be
couldn't do without dwelling in possibilities
i don't fight it, i live it

see in the waiting years
how i will disappear
behind the days gone by
on rain soaked seas turned golden and bright
remember how the ground would shake
under movements we make
was i dreaming of your hands
on midnight drives and spinning lands?
oh great, oh great days
do they die when memory fades
when the sun falls behind the trees
will you come back to me
remember when the world was new?
and i was laying next to you?
oh i can't say anything
all the shadows are splitting from their seams

walk with me on a summer's afternoon
i remember how time bent around you
i watched it slow down and stop in place
how it felt like escape
i am dreaming of it now behind my eyes
luminous days gone by
i wear them in the corners of my eyes
eyes so big and without voice
seeing the illusion of having choice
but i remember how the days used to seem
infinite and free
oh the shadows lengthen into mind
the air is swelling perfectly in time
with what might have been
i see you again, again, and again
hold on tight as the world spins
am i slipping?

Garden
02:51
|
|||
|
i was sleeping in the garden
just wondering how to feel
i'd come down from the mountain
and nothing now seems real
in the tired, whispered future
with visions turned to dreams
i was stabbing at the shadows
over blood spilled on the green
there were voices in the darkness
that carried between the trees
looking for someone
i knew wasn't me
i am pacing now forever
wishing for relief
smoking cigarettes
for a future never seen

Grace

|
i remember everything that i've seen
its the weight pushing on me
hope drifts out to sea
if the sky wanted to swallow me
on the darkest night before the dawn
when i don't wanna talk to anyone
i could see myself but now that's done, done, done
some words i can't take back, i can't outrun
now on the horizon i can see
the gates now out of reach
the days grow dark and lean
but grace, keep me
once, in the darkness i was weak
twice, they asked but i couldn't speak
three times, i've never seen gethsemane
with its blood and sweat and ashes that you dream
i'm more alone than anyone you've ever seen
grace for all, but maybe not for me
one minute you have everything
i'd seen the truth, now its staring right through me
but on the horizon i could see
a place waiting for me
but the days grow dark and mean
but grace, keep me
whats this light that can shine even here
sinner's truth over denier's fears
he who heard every word i had to say
he would not turn, he would not look away
now on the horizon, i can see
his face looking back at me
but the days grow pale and lean
but grace keep me

Pale

when my days are all run out
pour my body into the sea
will i watch it disappear
and say the waves changed because of me
oh my time is all in boxes
released to everything
in my quiet hours, waiting
for what i might be
oh my time...
oh i'd rather not change
if its possible to stay
though i'm tired of who i am
its such a familiar shape
oh a texas sky in springtime
filled with pale blue memories
can i take them with me
or are they part of the everything
that i must leave...
another broken body
a soul black and blue
a pile of hours wasted
but none of them with you
oh grace takes my hand
though i try to pull away
but i learned it in your eyes
everything that i can take
my time...

Out Of My Head
03:07
|
|||
|
you were wearing a fake fur coat when you called
summer voices behind the garden wall
its in my head
drinking wine on the rooftops where we lay
talking out our great escape
its in my head
do you think of me when the trees turn gold
i don't think of you that much, you know
its what i said
get out of my head

Don't Leave Me Here
03:39
|
|||
|
I won't remember words we said
you dream in the colors that filled your head
ideas from the summer time in bloom
i think in colors black and white
picture you with the moonlight in your eyes
i will catch you before you go
don't leave me here, i'll wait for you
days turn to years
it was in my mind, that's all it was, i heard you say
how could you forget?
was it wasted time, would you take back?
i won't take back
forgotten days in the summer we learned to waste
feeling things that stayed in that time and place
a stack of letters but they all burn the same
i remember the songs on the radio
i remember the places we used to go
i haven't tried but i can't recall your name...
so are you turning your back on me?
don't look back
cross the edge i won't have to see
times goes on
from the bottom, won't have to breathe
won't you just see whats in front of you?
