far be it from me
to know what you're thinking of
all ashes & earrings
makeshift mourning doves
this cluster of ivy
invading your thought
are you taming the banshee inside
with blue forget-me-nots?
we only catch what you caught
and you only love how you were taught

i feel put down
shut out of our love, anyhow
and i know i ain't shit but a bad fix
you forget you was kickin' around
you were kind of kept shut
but we didn't talk about it much
and now you're ready to give it up
like we even kept in touch
no one hurts you like you do
till your baby learns
to hurt you like that too
sad eyes, so i'm easy
don't make me your clown
babe, take it easy
you're putting me down

how much time
till time don't matter?
i think we touch too much
a cracked heart is only gonna shatter
heed the news
there's no more room in the promised land
nobody's fool
you get to steppin'
never bettin' on some second-hand
come on truth, show me where i stand
so whats so wrong this time?
you can tell me when it's all too close
to us tonight
to the way that we've been
there's no more love
we're living in it's shadow
where time gave up
on giving us tomorrow

Even Life

when your mind went blank
i swam in your dead eyes
and i nearly sank
when your mind when blank
has your trust been shot?
you try forgetting
what ain't easy forgot
cause your trust has been shot
ain't it odd
an even life costs money to live
the light sublets from the darkness
so if my love takes time
will you give it or give it up?
you say someone else broke you down
now you want me to stay
the only ghost in your ghost town
cause someone else broke you down

Sadie smiles
when it's been a cold
sixty-some miles
and when she talks
she shakes like Chicago
finally shook her off
so Sadie
to make me move on
playing dumb
i was playing along
but she would turn
my shade into shadow
and wear me all wrong
it's too soon to tell
out of tune or into hell
well it must be the bends
of breaking through
mile one
back on the road i come in
it's over
amen

Live Wire

live wire
in a standing flood
like you're asking for the fire
but lightning never struck you
like you wished it would
crash
and light up the neighborhood
so you can see the darkness
see itself for what it is
a feeling left unfelt
too afraid of what it says
about you
and the poison in your head
find someone to suck
until they're spitting red
live wire
it's a rising flood
like you're testing out the water
but your spark didn't spread
like you wished it would
you could change
but what's good might not remain

Out of this Blue
02:59

you waste no time gettin' on
just haven't the heart for the woe-be-gone
i guess you're out
all out of this blue
it's no primrose path
you don't turn your back on a northern star
less you wanna get far
so far out of this blue
i was hungry for the bait you bring
that black diamond ring
i ought to be immune
but i know sometimes
you pull me out of this blue
so i'm wasting this time to kill
hung my hat on quick fixes traded for goodwill
sold my faith to a pure blood moon
so this little light i reflect
will be a shade of darker gray
that only you can accept
just as soon as you're out of it too

Days with the Dark
05:13
|

|
it'll be painless
it'll be so quick
what kind of life would stick around
for this moment of dead air
between the peaks
since the signals stopped coming
i keep my dials tuned
to the last silent
let your static seize the room
where the light has always been fading
now i think it might be moving out
to shine on some soul
who knows all about
days with the dark
let 'em die where they start
there's nothing to say
about your days with the dark
so it wasn't painless
hell, this life left you sick
but you stuck around
now you really shouldn't miss
the sundown burns up every night
says there's beauty in losing
if you put up a fight
days with the dark
in a knot around your heart
so you don't forget
about your days with the dark
no one is safe
when light can't escape
