From A Dark Place
06:16

And when I was in my darkest places
I thought I was dead.
And when my eyes were closed and you weren’t there
I thought I was dead.
And when the waters rose and they buried my head
I thought I was dead.
And when my lungs couldn’t take in any more air
I thought I was dead.
And when the laughter crept back into the streets
I rise from the dead
And when the sweetness washes off the lies
I rise from the dead
And now I’m free, I’ve broken your hold on me
And now I emerge
So I emerge from my dark places
Where I thought I was dead

Twice
02:55
|

Twice, oh twice,
I’ve seen the beauty behind those
Eyes, those eyes,
Sucking me in like a vacuum running on
High, on high,
Almost God-like dazzling us so
Bright, so bright,
Blindness before you see the light
Light me up again
Cuz I’m sitting here in the dark
Let me see again
And open slowly
Let me breathe, Let me love
Let me dream again tonight
Let me brush against those lips
Oh, so slowly

The Empty
07:53
|

And you know it’s your lonesome heart today
And you know the empty grows wider today
And you know you’re away from home today
And you know it’s the knowing that feels so good
And you take all of your sadness today
And you put it right here in this bag today
And I’ll put it on a stick and on my back today
And tomorrow I’ll carry your sadness with mine
And I’ll carry your sadness with me
And you know the hope won’t fade away

Last Of Our Kind
06:17
|

So what will you do, when I’m not here?
Will you have a drink, or will your glass stay dry?
How long will you wait? Days, months or years?
Out of sight out of mind? To hold back them tears?
So, raise a glass with me to the last of our kind
Yes it’s true, we’re going to die
Yes it’s true, we’re going to die
And where will you go? Will you find a new home?
And which memories will stay on your walls?
Will you reach out your hand or will you be alone?
What will you dream when your eyes gently close?
So, raise a glass with me to the last of our kind
Yes it’s true, we’re going to die
Yes it’s true, we’re going to die
Yes it’s true, we’re going to die

Cloudspotting
03:49
|

I have walked in the valley of fear for too long
The angels, they flew to the mountain and took me along
Sat with the sage in the altocumulusphere
Problems were mountain goats and lack of air
All my time… up there
Eyes rolling round and the trash is on the ground
So we look up there way up in the troposphere
Cirrus fallstreak descending without a care
Breaking apart, evaporating decay
All my time… up there
Evapotranspiration fills the sky
Mackerels swim above our sleepy heads
Religiously a nimbus dazzles down
Sun dogs tease the sun, sun pillows touch the ground

Fairground Shoes
04:00
|

Shoes are Covered
Leather Deep in
Mud and She has
Not seen Bumper
Car for Weeks now
Wandering Aimless-
Ly but
Fairground Shoes are
Ankle Deep in Mud
Candied Apples Look so
Sweet to Eat when
No one Cares to
Be where You go
Out and Drown your
Feet in Storm rain
Fairground Shoes are
Knee and Thigh and
Ankle Deep in Mud

Night Owls
05:34
|
|||
Night, night owls and bats and demons,
Run for your
Life, your life, spent hiding beneath the sheets
Away from yourself
Explode, explode, jarring and burning
And ready now to
Reload, reload your soul, a weapon,
Drinking the light and
Fight, oh yes fight, oh yes fight,
Fight, fight, fight or
Die from knowing there was nothing
You ever did to save
Yourself
