Oh my Feet,
They do not carry me
They stumble and make me fall
Aching, unsteady
Weary of the winding trail
Overlooking fields grown stale
Southern wind blowing fierce
Cotton flapping like a sail
Eight thousand feet in the air
Your face with thousand yard stare
Break yourself on my stones
The hills speak in hushed tones
Overcome me today
Or return to your homes
Grey rock stained crimson
Painless, we fled before them
Was I too bold?
Was I too?

Wash Away
05:28
|

|
The autumn winds are rolling in
Leaves fall and cover the earth
Summer fades, and your warmth goes with it
No hands on my shoulder
Take me back to where we began
With dusty floors and shaky hands
So hold me now, lay beside me dear
We'll wait for rain to wash away
Rivers leading me from my fears
But your face makes me wanna stay
Trust me love, feel me now
You can't see, what have you done to me (x2)
Now your eyes, no longer meet mine
Spring brings a change in color
You pierced your hand, drank the wine
And passed it along to another

Just a Day
03:41
|

|
I'm going too fast down this dusty road
I'm not here for too long, just a day
And I, I must go
'Cause I, I will fade
Fireflies draw me into the night
Mockingbird leads me back underneath blue light
This is not my own property
This pond and field, or the bricks surrounding
And I, I've taken a lover
And he, he will change me
You're standing there under light with the wind in your hair
Holding your baby girl, rustling her blond curls
A new birth sprung forth from decay
Cultured growth on this film slate

Mockingbird

Mockingbird, mimic me
Repeat the things you see
Fly away, spread your wings
Don't dwell on earthly things
Sing your song, dance your dance
Show me your pure hands
Glide alongside your brother
Don't sink below with the others
Mockingbird, imitator
Know not your creator
What has lead you here?
Is it your love or your fears?
Comforting or Controlling
Why do you always sing?
You'll be lifted by the wind
A messenger with no message to send

Stainless
03:18
|
|||
|
In my grasp
Now just out of reach
Stainless steel flask
Carve out your speech
Stare a moment longer
Contemplate
You can't see me
Watching me exhale, by the garage door
Smoke rolls out, every time you tore
These words have grown old
As we've grown cold
Sentimental value
Sharing a love seat
Holding my words
Take your time

Helios
04:21
|
|||
|
Out in the twilight, where no eye can see
You are waiting there, just for me
You're silhouette, whimpering
I sink to my knees, no more songs to sing
Sunrise oh sunrise, when will you come?
I've been waiting so long, I can't be the only one
Are you behind the waves
Crashing in to me
Are you in the current
Pulling me in to the deep
So many imitators, fooling
Helios, come to me
Sunrise oh sunrise, when will you come?
I've been waiting so long, I can't be the only one

Willow Creek
03:47
|
|||
|
Treeless limbs
Wave back and forth like an ocean
Voices raised
Hurricane take me with the wind
Kneel down with me
Kneel down with me
Golden jewelry
Adorns the hands of old
Fossilized by the teeth
Jellyfish swirling below
Kneel down with me

Oasis
04:29
|
|||
|
Crystal light reflects, on to your face
Hazel and Amber, dancing together
Oasis of mine, how could I find?
Timeless joy, that time will destroy
Overwhelming flood, water moves as blood
Giving life, twisting the knife
Glass lens shattered through, (my) perception of you
Bold but frail, like leaves through gale
I won't let you go
Take my hand and follow
If I leave it will you run away?
But if I don't what will make you stay?
The mirror shows not who you are
Just the detail of every scar
The smoke has lifted from you
No longer blocking my view
Sunlight blinding my eyes
But i still yearn to see the sky (x2)

Potter's Field
05:04
|
|||
|
Summer rain, brewing behind the walls of grey
A canopy over the potter's field where i lay
Holding pace, holding place
Mockingbirds, sing of memory
Rolling clouds, engulfing me
Painted in the sky, a relic of time
Father's words echo through the evergreen
An ancient praise for me to sing
