Life is a circle
Chasing it's tail
Eternally
Eternally
Changing shape
I am the snake
Shedding my skin
A new phase
Something ends
Something begins
Feeling better now
My bones are spreading out
Setting it free
Setting it free
Moving forward
With new purpose
In older eyes
Know that I've been
Here before this
In other lives
I am a circle
Chasing my tail
Eventually
Eventually
Changing shape
I am the snake
Shedding my skin
A new phase
Something ends
Something begins

Vision

Could you see it
When it fell in your eye?
Couldn't reach it
When it hung in your sky
Feel your way
Feel your way in
When you don't have vision
When you don't have vision
Feel your way
Feel your way in
When you don't have vision
When you don't have vision
Did you taste it
When it hit your tongue?
Did you save it
Or did you Swallow it down?
Feel your way
Feel your way in
When you don't have vision
When you don't have vision
Feel your way
Feel your way in
When you don't have vision
When you don't have vision
Would you know it
If it hit you?
Would you know it
If it hit you?
Would you know it
If it hit you?
Keep em open
Listen
Keep em open
Don't let it miss you
Keep em open
Listen
Keep em open
Don't let it miss you
Feel your way
Feel your way
Feel your way
Feel your way

Down In The Valley
02:46
|
|||
|
The world used to be an oyster for me
I could drink off a dollar or a dime
And I never thought I'd amount to much
Til I came into some land
It was handed to me
Given free
By a stranger who said he was my pa
Now some people come
More often they go
So I set up this local's bar
But now I'm down in the valley
Where I can't pay the rent
And the city won't let me sleep
Yeah I've wandered away
But I know I'll come back
To those faces and names
Debts must be paid
Time runs away in this place
I've been singing in this shack for a couple of years
The owner 'fesses to a number of misdemeanors
But now he's down in the valley
Where he can't pay the rent
And the city won't let him be
Yeah he's wandered away
But I know he'll come back to us
Faces and names
Debts must be paid
Time runs away in this place
So long I sing
To the roses, To the roses
Buried memory
He'll miss the dinner this eve
We'll all be merry
Thinking of his face
Someday this pub will be paved
Paved over his grave
And he'll be down in the valley
Where he can't pay the rent
And the city won't let him sleep
Yeah he's wandered away
But I know he comes back to us
Faces and names
Some things never change
Time runs away in this place

The Crowd
03:08
|

|
I lost you
Back there
Somewhere
I turned around
You were
Gone
Gone
Gone
Gone
I've been
Waiting
For you
To come out
Of the crowd
Come out
Come out
Come out
Come out
But it's
Getting late
They've all gone home
And I'm here
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Thought you'd always be around
Thought you'd always be around
Thought you'd always be around
Thought you'd always be around
I lost you
Back there
Somewhere

Head In The Grass
03:08
|
|||
|
Outside my room
Is a lonely world
In a quiet neighborhood
With curtains drawn
And the radio on
I can almost be myself
I keep my head in the grass
Knock on the door
Scratch on the window
Nobody's getting in
Litter the yard
With invitations
I can hear them singing
I keep my head in the grass
Cus I'm afraid of what's out there
I'm getting out of the house
I have dreams of it
I'm afraid of the world
Cus every time I open the door
I can feel them closer
Their yellow eyes on me
The wind howling
I can feel their breath
Run down the back of my neck
And I can taste Death
Snappin me like a twig
That's why I stay in the house
That's why I never leave
That's why I keep the doors locked
I know they're coming for me
I keep my head in the grass

Bergamot
03:04
|

|
Wake from winter dreaming
Of a simple life
With you by my side
We have everything we need
Want for nothing
And on our pillow
Bergamot
I can feel the sunrise
Coming up in your eyes
You have what I need
When I start to feel the moonlight
Pressing against my mind
Cover me in
Bergamot
Wake from winter dreaming
In my simple life
You are at my side
As I hold you while you're sleeping
You have everything I needed
My sweet bergamot

This Old Blue World
03:15
|
|||
|
I'm a stranger here
Nobody knows me
Or what I've done
If I go back now
I lose it all
Turn in my tail and run
We carve out our own love
If I built a ship
Anywhere I could take it
To the wide open seas
And with fair weather
And stars to guide
Wind in our sails
We'd carve out our own world
Water water all around
Do you ever go out?
Do you know who you are down here?
It's a matter of sand
It's the grit and the friction man
Takes the weight of an ocean
At the bottom of a dangerous world
To make a pearl
To make a pearl
To make a pearl
To make a pearl
So here at the end
At the end of this old blue world
At the edge of the map
There's no going back
We've been here before
Stood at these doors
What are we waiting for?
We carve out our own lives

Body Like A Cave
02:57
|
|||
|
It's moving through me
My identity
Dissolving
My sense of reality
Pooling at my feet
And isn't it soothing
To loosen my grip
On anything
Letting it slip
Through me
My body like a cave
It's settling in
Rattling
My sense of what's me
Shaking at the knees
Isn't it soothing
To lose your grip
On everything
Letting it slip
Through you
Your body like a cave
And isn't it soothing
To lose my grip
On everything
Letting it slip
Through me
My body like a cave

Two Kids
02:57
|

|
My baby don't know
Where to go
To be alone
We live on the run
Things fall apart sometimes
I'm reaching out
To say that it's all right
When our house is a mess
Dishes are falling on the floor
Go back to bed
I can take care of it
Lay my baby down
Don't be afraid
Dirt piles up but the damage is done
Pick up the shards
With my bare fingers bleeding
My baby sees right through me
But I don't mind
Cus I want her to know
What I'm thinking
Even when I'm not there
Even when she sleeps
She's with me
Even when it all goes to hell at once
Our house is a mess
Dishes are falling on the floor
Go back to bed
I can take care of it
Lay my baby down
Don't be afraid
Dirt piles up but the damage is done
Pick up the shards
With my bare fingers bleeding
Our truck is on fire
Tank dried up and it's too late to save it
Anyways
I still want to take you places
Baby we can make it
Two kids on the run

Replace
One thing for another
We'll make
The most of it
Embrace us all
Like a mother
We'll take
What we can get
Do you see us crawling in the dirt?
Do you see us wondering?
Do you see us hanging from the sky
Looking for answers we'll never find and
All I want to know
Are you enjoying the show?
All I want to know
Are you enjoying the show?
We'll build
Another altar
We'll fill it
With offerings
Lord over us
Like a father
We'll fight
For your attention
Do you see us crawling in the dirt?
Do you see us wondering?
Do you see us hanging from the sky
Looking for answers we'll never find and
All I want to know
Are you enjoying the show?
All I want to know
Are you enjoying the show?

Heavy Lines
04:03

So it goes
All of us
Growing old
And then we're gone
But I won't go out like that
No I won't go out like that
No I won't give up without a
Fight
Fight
Fight
Heavy lines
On our faces
Losing form as it takes us
But I won't go down so fast
No I won't go down so fast
No I won't let go without a
Fight
Fight
Fight
What are we?
Bones and meat
What will there be left of me?
What are we?
Energy
What will be the end of me?
So it goes
Skin and bones
And then we're gone

The Names Of Things
03:12

How does this work
What do I say
To the machine today
Hey
This is me
I'm supposed to be
Leaving a message
I believe you
Are going insane
How does this work
What do I say
When everything's coded these days
And all of the words that I sent you
Get erased
I wish I could change your mind
I believe you
Are going insane
Put your good shoes on
Head out the window
It's time to go
I can't go with you
When we were young
We knew the tall ones
We lived in their caves
And they taught us
The names of things
Now we're older
And we're all the same
I miss the easier days
I miss the easier days
I miss the easier days
I miss the easier days
I believe you are going insane
I hope you come back someday
