Azalea
05:40
|

A beautiful poison, you say with a grin
I sit with you again
For a while until it ends
Grief harbors anger and your resentment
A banner for the cause
As we both play our parts
Bad decisions even have reason
Make me bite my judging tongue
A blanket of friends on a bed of guilt
Void of denial, you knew full well
I hated and I loved you
And I pretended to understand
I hate and love you
And I now understand

Shade
08:55
|
|||
Flowers, sunshine, lost in its haze
Slumber in liquid, counting the days
The lamb, the snake, caught in its wake
Go and stroll in the garden
But don't drown in all the weeds
The eyes to open, the mouths to feed
Melt with each loss
The bloom of pain
And the heat of the cross
Find me the shade
When I walk away, will you look at me?

Hounds of Avarice
05:55
|
|||
You've played the labor game and it reads truth
But the truth is wealth is playing you
Prosperity shows what your eyes hide
Poverty knows what walls can't divide
Open the gates, the hounds are now released
Hear me when I say, our blood is the same shade
Your fangs polished and white, growing since birth
Your view will always be from above
But its height will never define my worth

The Knowledge of Trees
06:03
|
|||
As she runs past the worn oak
Timid, numb, and red
Upon the detritus, with persuasive step
From the glint, translucent and pale
She lays back with crooked stare
Questions forgotten, mercurial divide
Mirrors her through the river
Drawing shadows from the sky
Mind the wisdom thereafter, with such obligation it derives
Humbled to be here forever at your side

Entwined
07:18
|

Out of the sun and from the soil cast the girl
A fitting name of Rose
Rolling upon withered pine
where grief is without wander
Crowded heads with vacant eyes
A pain shared always proves stronger
From both our hands
Into our mouths
And down our throats
From the soil cast the girl
A fitting name of Rose
Where grief is without wander
We are entwined, forever now in peace

Eyes As Tableau
05:14
|
|||
Wise from what you thought
Like needles through dust
A view of transparent skin
Only then can healing begin
Falling for a phrase, taut and exemplary
Icons on stone to serve the past
Obdurate when regret becomes our history
When love is discreet and hope trivial
Rise from your knees, despite the scar
As I will always be watching from afar

Their Cities
07:20
|
|||
To the hum of the streetlights we danced
Under the viaduct we sang all night
To all the factories we would run and scream
And to the convenient store parking lots
where we'd vow to see better days
With the smell of a dying town
Won't be here to see if it turns around
The bridge, the park, the square
They all will rot
The bridge, the park, and the square
They all will rot
But the mills of sorrow will always grow
It was a big part of our lives
But we must go and never look back
Leave their cities behind and head for the trees...together

Prague
07:37
|
|||
Hanging from complacence
Seeking a renascent heart
I shall wander far from everyone
My wife, my kid, my home
The warden of time, a prisoner of choice
To those empty canals from a middle aged voice
Regret has burrowed down to the most selfish of bones
And I've scorned my beloved to no fault of their own
A world away yet still close to fear
A new skin to touch to help me disappear
We drive down to the end where the lovers meet
Rain on cobblestone, under lights like fire
Between where the songs fade and grief hides the laughter
Time is a burden to the future we seek
All motives are lost in decisions we make
The past is a widow and she lets us pretend
Fate is a consolation when we know it's the end
I'm so sorry
