when we were younger
we didn't notice
the prints that we left on
always unprepared
the wind blew our hair
our minds made down
flying like stares
across those youth years
dryer than the tears
that I don't remember
across the kitchen
her eyes raced the moonlight
two parts to the wind
above this poignant
under this tender point in time
shined on our footprints
we danced all night

while it's raining

I've seen the blood running
through our dreams
of chasing salvation
the myth is the lens
and it's new beginnings
stoking the coals
with a smile
while it's raining
I've accepted that hope
has devolved into music
from the hand I did hold
to a song of how to lose it
but love does not bow
it's burning head down
only it sings
"there is no flame
while it's raining"
love's trailing days
flew passed me like angels
praying for a wave
left me dried up in the rain
the devil's got a way
in her smile of changing
everything I know
or attempt to believe in
I won't accept
that the ghost of a girl
whose still living
or a fire in the rain
is at the end
in just beginning
but life will not bow
it's burning head down
only it sings
"there is no flame
while it's raining"

chasin death

I was on the highway at dawn
running from the night before
drunk and breaking bottles downtown
trying my best to shatter walls
to leave my past
where it stands
where she left me lying on the ground
in broken glass
a stubborn mess
I lost my sense and it left me in the dark
but there's a stain in your name
that's too hard to separate
from this sense that I fit best
on the highway at six chasing death
we don't talk about it all at all
and when we talk we talk like dogs
if at all a dog can tell what it wants
than I am something like that dog
to chase that dream
but never sleep
to just lie eyes wide open on the ground
a torn up rug
a chase with love
I lost that scent and it left me in the dark
running up your driveway that night
I could swear it was raining alcohol
I was outta my mind
screaming and crying
doing my best to forget it all

what we lost
04:04
|
|

I can' take back
my breath floating
our lost chance
my hands
smell like cigarettes
though I seldom smoke them
mine's been drinking
yours is more
or is it less
I'm not gonna pretend
that I know you
I just wish you'd come home again
and if you do
I will pretend
I never said this
and you don't exist
that or we never met
I couldn't find that
a dead presence
it feels like we
never had
or a dream drowned
in symbolism
that don't make sense
til we forget
I dived down in the oven
but you were in a tall glass
hiding in the coldest day
of winter just passed
what we lost
we can't get back
but I don't even want that
I just want to know
how to not think about it

oh, she flew
03:29
|
|
||
|
waking up doesn't hurt
anymore now next to you
rolling around the hills
scraping my knees and laughing
painting a picture of the woods
painting a picture of the river
looking at you and asking why
why did I not find you sooner?
falling deep down in liquor
reaching my hands up high
praying for some white wizard
but never a beauty like
you were the keys
the locks fell
you were my firefight in hell
even the savior of my story
flew away
oh I fell
and I lost
all of the lessons she taught
oh she flew
into the dark
and disappeared from my heart

some kind of dream
03:41
|
|

|
we're all cheaters
we're all liars
we don't really have a choice
we're all killers
and we're all defilers
we never really find a voice
and it's all some kind of dream
we're all heroes
we all change the world
even if we don't leave the house
we're all one thing
we're all people
we are jesus and the devil
in our own kind of dream
and it's all some kind of dream
you are beauty
you are salvation
you are home and I am lost
you are woman
and I am human
if you hold my love
than you are god
in my own kind of dream
and it's all some kind of dream
