Ashes or Dust

I'm launching into space
Drinking medicine
Meet me in the frosted solar air
I'll be the one in disrepair
With a tangled heart
And shaky knees
Well they can't stop me
From rising with the wind
The horizon is stained
From burn mark scars
And I'm tearing a hole at the seam
I'm running from yesterday's dream
And I'm casting my net
From an empty shore
I've been here before
In a never-ending scene
Now the sky's gone to ash
And the earth's turned the dust
Just like everything does
Yea like everything must
Well it's better than rust
To be ashes or dust
I suppose
Now the ashtray is cold
Like a fading starlight
Just holding onto a thread
Just waiting to be born again
We're all holding onto a thread
Yea we're waiting to be born again

A Crooked Murder
05:03
|
|||
|
Whispers cut through the scattered roots
Winter wind is howling high
A blizzard drowning in the desert
Turning ashes into light
Into light
Into light
Into light
A crooked murder seized the air
Midnight stopped to blink and stare
A haunted moon breathing faintly
The forest darkened breaking care
Breaking care
Breaking care
Breaking care
And on the other side of the forest
I hear the silence leaving spring
A murder reawakened
To hear the sound
Of the crooked crow sing
A feather flanking the cradle
Warm escaping like a dream
Spirits scheming from the mountains
They whistle across the hardwood trees
Hardwood trees
Hardwood trees
Hardwood trees
And on the other side of the forest
I hear the silence leaving spring
A murder reawakened
To hear the sound
Of the crooked crow sing
And on the other side of the forest
I hear the silence leaving spring
A murder reawakened
To hear the sound
Of the crooked crow

Ripples
04:03
|
|||
|
I threw my eyes into the sea
It was staring back at me
Ripples racing
It was hungry and chasing
Like it woke up from a dream
Am I a myth or mystery?
I could feel the resistance
Of the mountains in the distance
I lay silent as the moon
When I fell into a swoon
I could hear the angles singing
Their voices were ringing
Like an easy water stream
Or a mellow cello string
I could smell the candle burning
With the barren sky turning on me
Now the wind is waging war
It's fists are pounding at my door
Misery stained the glass
Hiding the pain as
The flames pass by
Escaping the lies
Sorrow painted plainly
In the broken lullabies
Now the magic is lost
For another empty cause
I am sober and suffering
Stifling with flaws
It's a fantasy brewing
But the destination's ruined
I am hungry and chasing
But the night is pale and replacing me

A Place Out There
04:03
|
|||
|
Well the moon is out and the air is ripe
Meet me baby under the moon light
I can feel you shivering through my bones
And you're looking at me with your eyes like stone
There's a place out there for you and me
There's a place out there for you and me
I can hear your every dream
Drifting like an old memory
Follow me into the unknown
There ain't no such thing as home
There's a place out there for you and me
There's a place out there for you and me
Where the silent live and the shadows sleep
There's a place out there for you and me
Baby don't look back keep your eyes on me
There's a place out there for you and me
There's a place out there for you and me
There's a place out there for you and me
I've got tickets for a runaway train
It runs on fear and the pouring rain
Where the silent live and the shadows sleep
Baby don't look back keep your eyes on me
Oh baby don't look back keep your eyes on me
There's a place out there
There's a place out there
There's a place out there
There's a place out there for you and me
There's a place out there for you and me
There's a place out there for you and me
There's a place out there for you and me
There's a place out there
For you and me

Space Between The Stars
04:59
|
|||
|
Well we danced on the edge of the moon
In a portrait sky
She was twirling around with the stars
Lit up in her eyes
I couldn't stop thinking and my hands were
Shaking alive
When she let go of me and turned and leaned
Into the night
And I said I don't know
Will I ever see you again
And the look on her face was a
Stone cold gaze
I knew I couldn't defend
When she said I don't know
If I'll ever be back again
Because the world's a big place
Imma a get lost out in the
Space between the stars
And now ever since that moment she left
She's been a curse on my mind
Like a sepia toned dream
Running out of time
My heart's been breaking and my body's been
Aching at night
Well she took a part of me and left my soul strung
Out on a line
And now I don't know
If I'll ever see her again
Because the look on her face was a
Stone cold gaze
That turned into a grin
When she said I don't know
If I'll ever be back again
Because the world's a big place
Imma get lost out in the
Space between the stars
And I don't know
If I'll ever see her again
But she took me to a place
Where she took my breath away
And I'll never be the same within
And I don't know
If she'll ever be back again
Because the world's a big place
And she got lost out in the
Space between the stars
Because the world's a big place
And she got lost out in the
Space between the stars
She said the world's a big place
And she got lost out in the
Space between the stars

Cool and Calming Wind
04:52
|

|
Driving around for hours
With no place to go
I'm breathing in the sun
Through my window
When I left the night it was sober
And the highway drank me in
Now I'm fleeing like a bird
In a subtle wind
I sailed into the ocean
And fell down in a swoon
Then washed upon the shore
Of a sturgeon moon
Then I sank into a valley
I was desperate for the cold
In the fading light I heard
A distant crow
And then the cool and calming wind
Blew me back again
To a late September night
In Michigan
I dried up in the desert
Afraid of losing hope
When beneath the cracks I found
A buried soul
So I carried it to the mountain
We climbed up to the sky
When it opened up its wings
We began to fly
And then the cool and calming wind
Blew me back again
To a late September night
In Michigan
We flew out to the edge of the world
To see how far I'd go
We were breaking in the spring
Like a drifting floe
When we caught up with the morning
It was face down in a field
And I let that buried soul
Free in the weald
And then the cool and calming wind
Blew me back again
To a late September night
In Michigan
Yea the Cool and calming wind
Blew me back again
To a late September night
In Michigan
And then the cool and calming wind
Blew me back again
To a late September night
In Michigan
Yeah

Broken Dagger
05:08
|
|||
|
Sun breaks
Like a ripple in the wave
Drowning shadows in a maze
Light fades
Bending in the haze
The wind is sending me away
Uneasy brook
Rumbling and stirring
Like the last hour leaving
A desperate storm
Winter on its way
The desperation in your face
I've been strung out
Like a broken dagger
Hiding out in the day
I've been waiting
Here for hours
For you to turn and look my way
Blood red sun
Lost in the night
Needing the heat of your light
A silent dawn
Came without warning
Hanging in a foggy morning
I've been strung out
Like a broken dagger
Hiding out in the day
I've been waiting
Here for hours
For you to turn and look my way my way
I've been strung out
Like a broken dagger
Hiding out from the day
I've been waiting
Here forever
For you to turn and walk away away

Just A Dream
03:39

Well I ain't your friend
Anymore
I ain't your friend no more
Since you walked right out
Of that door
You walked out that door
I'm tired of this town
I wanna burn it down
And there's nothing you can do
It just reminds me of you
Reminds me of you
Reminds me of you
Dancing in the field
Under that moon light
Swaying in the wind
And feeling alright
But it was just a dream
And you were just a bird
And I was just a child
But I remember
The feeling that we shared
It was something real
But it was just a dream
It's what they told me
Well I can't hear your voice
Anymore
I can't hear you no more
Since I walked right out
Of that door
I walked out your door
I'm tired of this town
I wanna burn it to the ground
And there's nothing I can do
It ain't the same without you
Without you
Without you
Dancing in the field
Under that moon light
Swaying in the wind
And feeling alright
But it was just a dream
And you were just a bird
And I was just a child
But I remember
The feeling that we shared
It was something real
But it was just a dream
It's what they told me

The Valley
04:41
|

|
I can feel
A cool breeze
Changing direction
On me
The wind imposing
Dancing trees
The flowers fodder
For the bees
And I can see
The crimson sun
Shedding colors
For the dawn
The clouds they sing
The nights croon
And give it away to
A darkest moon
And I can hear
Soft and sweet
The old maiden
Calling me
Her voice is lax
Her eyes are blue
Her hand is gentle
Her heart is true
And we're going to the valley
Going out to the sea
And running from forever
Forever remember me
As I pass
Through the eve
I see a sparrow
Guiding me
Her beak is short
Her tail is long
Her call is meak
But essence is strong
And there's a crow
On a post
Casting shadows
Of a holy ghost
It whispers low
A trailing beat
It fills the dark and
Empty street
And there's a calm
River flowing
Sending spirits
Way upstream
And there's a door
In the distance
Sign says no
Re-entry
And we're going to the valley
Going out to the sea
And running from forever
Forever remember me
And we're going to the valley
Going out to the sea
And running from forever
Forever remember me

Song For The Roses
03:37

Life is a crooked game
Full of hope full of pain
Well I brokered all my deals
And I won over my shame
Now I'm standing in the garden
Overlooking the lake
I can hear all the memories
She carries in her wake
And the voices are all haunting
And they're calling me to stay
There's a calmness in the air
As they carry me away
Yea the voices are all haunting
And they're calling me to stay
There's a stillness in the air
And it carries me away
Through the clearing of the clouds
I've been riding with the wind
On the wings of an angel
I buried all my sin
Now I'm singing for the roses
And I'm breathing in the spring
And you scent it still lingers
Like the honey to the bees
Though the picture of your face
Is growing fainter by the day
I hold on to the echoes
And the wrinkle in the waves
Yea the picture of your face
Is growing fainter every day
I hold onto the echoes
And your wrinkle in the waves
