Leaving

Just as bored as you
Pulled through that keyhole
It's so dark in the room
Where no one has lived for months
(CHORUS)
There's a light in my new house
Even though I'm the only one there
Know what you were talking about
And I know I'm leaving here too
Fear sits in the corner
The place where I put on my boots
The place where my new suit coat’s hangin'
Same old place that turns the knife around
(CHORUS)
Yeah I know I'm leavin' here too
I know I'm leaving here too
I'm leaving here
I'm leaving here too
Just as bored as you
Pulled through that keyhole
It's so dark in the room
Where no one has lived for months
Yeah I know I'm leavin' here too
I know I'm leaving here too
I'm leaving here
I'm leaving here too
There's a light
There's a light
There's a light
There's a light in
My new house

Jack of Stone
03:03

|

Watch closely
See him fold
Around the corner
Against the wall
See him shaking
Jack’s whole body
He’s droppin’
Like a waterfall
(CHORUS)
The damage is done
He’s the jack of stone
The damage is done
He’s the jack of stone
Watch closely
Stand so still
He’s still runnin’
Oh can’t you tell
See his face
Stretch for air
He’s carved in rock
He’s always there
(CHORUS)
Watch closely
See him fold
Around the corner
Against the wall
Shakin’ madly
Jack’s whole body
He’s droppin’
Like a waterfall
(CHORUS)

Days Were So Pure
02:18
|

|
Picture me here
Deep in the roses
Air is so clear
Wish you could see this
(CHORUS)
Days were so pure
When you were here
Leaves fallin' down
Burnin' for autumn
There's people around
Wish you could see them
(CHORUS)
And I had hoped
I could be
Be here with you
There's rain in my days
The ice has arrived
Takin' it's time
Burnin' my eyes
(CHORUS)
Picture me here...oh

Salvador's First Trip

Mary
Dreads the Mondays
She drives and drinks and smokes
She’s writing letters to her baby
He lives out on the coast
(CHORUS)
Everyone’s gone
Singing to the vultures
Everyone’s gone
Holding on to Daddy’s culture
She’s camouflaged
In tears and tatters
She’s watchin’ me, watch myself
She takes her time
To be close to me
Draggin’ me away from hell
(CHORUS)
Salvador
He waits for answers
He’s thinkin’ about my heart
Salvador
Let me hold you
Not even gods could pull us apart
(CHORUS)

Where You Go
02:35

Pete’s on the corner
He’s waitin’ for the light
Penny’s in the kitchen
‘Til she gets it right
Savin’ their money
For a trip out east
Going to find them selves
In the big city
(CHORUS)
Where you go
Where you don’t go
Where you go
To find you
Pete’s on the street, oh yeah
Well, Plays it cool
Penny’s spinnin’ discs
Back at school
Now they saw the big city
On nickels and dimes
Pete hits the strings
Penny keeps the time
(CHORUS)
Pete’s on the corner
He’s waitin’ for the light
Penny’s in the kitchen
‘Til she gets it right
Savin’ their money
For a trip out east
Going to find them selves
In the big city
(CHORUS)

The City
03:37
|
|||
|
I being of sound mind alone
Have said goodbye to all I've known
The grace that fills the flowing skirt
The giants who never knew who they were
I never met the one who stole
The people that made me whole
I never met the one who stole
The people that made me whole
Her name was mentioned many times
The conversation was not hidden
I never met my children’s call
But she changed me too
I never met the one who stole
The people that made me whole
I never met the one who stole
The people that made me whole
She knew their dreams as well as I
She set the scene and let them try
I walking the rope without a voice
For the one that I never met
I never met the one who stole
The people that made me whole
I never met the one who stole
The people that made me whole

Hanging
03:46
|
|||
|
Don’t ever promise me anything again
I hang on your lips white knuckle your tongue
Lascivious, oh blasphemous tongue
The organ of my helpless discontent And happiness
Helpless discontent
(CHORUS)
When I see you
All I can do is love
Because it all makes sense
Yeah it all works out so right
I curse you oh pull out my hair for you
I promise myself vengeance on you
And you so right I melt like butter on toast
You capture me I can’t deny I love you
(CHORUS)
Don’t ever promise me anything again
Because I’ll never get anything done
And I’ll die if I don’t get it
Don’t ever promise me anything again
Because I’ll never get anything done
And I’ll die if I don’t get it

Her Poison
03:44
|
|||
|
Leaning on the window
With a frost melting stare
Watching the snow drop
From her long shining hair
A touch of her poison
The itch for despair
A touch of her poison
The banshee is here
Feel the screams cut
Through the fog in the air
Draggin my breath out
Beyond repair
A touch of her poison
The itch for despair
A touch of her poison
The banshee is here

Trying
04:03
|
|||
|
Rising up, the creatures in view
I always do what I don't want to do
A righteous thought, the will to resist
Justification tied at the wrist
The honor to serve
You lead me to this
Give me the nerve
So I cannot miss
Sometimes I win
Leaves me perplexed
I'm weak In this life
Maybe strong in the next
Not doin' so well
With you lookin' on
I used to be more
I know what went wrong
Got it so good
Waiting for what?
You know I'm afraid
And I'm stuck in a rut
Refrain:
Stay here with me
By my side
As if you would leave
As if I could hide

Blessed Gods
02:44
|
|||
|
Slice open my chest
Reach inside
Tear out my heart
Squeeze out the life
(CHORUS)
The selfish selfless must finally fall
The blessed gods of no reason at all
The selfish selfless must finally fall
The blessed gods of no reason at all
Never thought I'd see the day
I'd admin my hope was gone
Hours of pain kiss me goodbye
No one can save me now
(CHORUS)
Slip my heart back inside
Now I'm the same
I can lie to have love
And feel no shame
(CHORUS)
They must fall...
