River Black
04:48
|
|||
I found a new love
A better muse
She rests on furs while
I scribble doom
In some kind of protest
I know it’s true
I paralyze each moment
The home I knew is ash,
the river black
When all my time is through
Will you not say
My name each day
It’s only kindness
A glass of wine
The jury finds us
Guilty of mind
Stream my execution
A new perfume
I only feel the hunger
When others do
& laugh when others laugh
When all my time is through
Will you not say
My name each day

Sorrowbirds
04:24
|

Watch them take flight
Birds of sorrow
Sorrow birds
In my mind
Don’t call tonight
Call tomorrow
Tomorrow is right
When I’ll need you
Fortunately
I’ve been put up on stage
Fortunately
I’ve seen bitter hearts change, change, change
But if I’m being honest
There’s a knife in the drawer that the little ones found
If I’m being honest
There’s a light in the world that the liquor put out
Fortunately
You still seek it out
Force it on me
Watch them take flight
Birds of sorrow
Sorrow birds
In my mind

War is Body
07:18
|
|||
The dead could rise
War is body
So often I despair alone
But something released inside me
All faith is gone, I close my eyes
Imagined wounds
War is body
I like my room
Don’t change a thing
But if I don’t bring you jewels or ivory
Let freedom ring in pools of blood
It wasn’t long ago this hill was covered
With trees covered in snow
I passed you on the road, in line for water
What does the water hold?
Fresh limbs in tin cans, I write:
"This land is my land"
Can’t live without him, I might
This land is your land
This land is your land

Impossible Now
05:17
|
|||
Starlight, the lonesome valley calls
This might release you from its hold
Waves of vapor, I passed this way two times before
Every acre is worth its weight in yellow gold
But if you come to me
I’m the sound
At the heart of each impossible now
Daydream a battle for your soul
I've seen your shadow on the road
Understand I’m just the friend who walks you home
Empty handed, nothing left to fill their bowls
But if you come to me
I'm the sound at the heart of each impossible now
Write down what you see
Say you will, when you look out there:
The river’s high, the water’s still

Rome, Through a Fog
04:07
|
|||
So it is written
I’m afraid of myself
Formless and hidden
I remain someone else
Gonna need more rope
If I’m to tie him up
Gonna need more rope
If I’m to climb the wall
So it’s been sung for years
That the birth wasn’t planned
Rome through a fog appears
And it forces your hand
Gonna need more rope
if i’m to tie him up
Gonna need more rope
if i’m to climb the wall
Beyond all this the factory
Where a frozen radio plays
The girls all dance around me now
And call to me by name
Gonna need more rope
if they’re to tie me up
Gonna need more rope
if i’m to climb the wall

Vessels
05:21
|
|||
Hide the ribbon, I cannot go
I climb the endless steps to your door
Still no mother on our side, desertion
What no other can provide, the earth is
Where is the bottle? I drank it away
Now this vessel of empty space
Has crawled into your bed
What illusion gave you that pain?
I walk polluted cities of fame
Still no mother on our side, forgive us
Still, I want the morning light to end us
One bag of silver and they open the gates
Now this vessel of endless rage
Has crawled into your bed

Seventh Seal
03:01
|
|||
I’ll remain
Til it all is still
Broke, broke, broke
Broken wire
This isn't how I feel
Like power lines in the rain
The angel’s seventh seal
I’ll be lost
In the guardian’s fields
Just don’t trust or cross him child
Or he’ll show you what is real
He’ll knock those teeth to the dirt
The angel’s seventh seal
I’ll be chained
Wrapped up in iron
Steel steel steel steal
Me away
Stay with me awhile
You're partial to my thirst
You like it when I kneel
Sometimes it doesn’t hurt
Sometimes hurt’s all I feel

No One Owes Us Anything
05:43
|
|||
Forty years later when there’s no more ice
I’m gonna end my days on a kitchen knife
Everything together better add up to a lot
A place on the wall where I paint my hand
I'm gonna betray the call of modern man
But terrified every time the service drops
As a matter of fact it never rang
No one owes us anything
Meet me in the morning when your courage dies
Gonna give my burden up tonight
Everyone together gonna try to lift the curse
The word is you’re invited if the money’s there
I'm hungry and I’m tired of these millionaires
Riding through the city while we’re lying in the dirt
Humankind gets washed away
But no one owes us anything
If we lose our strength
It’s gone
If we lose our faith
It’s gone
It’s gone
