Bachelor’s Buttons
Looking over
My left shoulder
Pinning leaves
On the clover
Tossing roses
In the flames
In even numbers
‘Til none remain
Around my neck
An empty locket
Bachelor’s Buttons
In my pocket

Comb The Wake
All this drinking ourselves to death
Is taking longer than we thought
Taking longer just to get caught
And saying sorry always begins
Close to home to your friends
And then it never seems to end
One more bet and then this deal is done
Meet me where the sea and shore are one
They say the lord, the lord is closest
The closest to the brokenhearted
Or maybe it just can’t finish what it started
One more bet and then this deal is done
Meet me where the sea and shore are one
Will you lay me down and let me sleep?
Drop me from your arms into the deep
It’s in the cards, it’s on the take
One eyed faces always catch the break
And the last man standing
Will comb the wake
One more bet and then this deal is done
Meet me where the sea and shore are one
Will you lay me down and let me sleep?
Drop me from your arms into the deep

Nature of the Beast

Nature of the Beast
When it mattered the most
It counted the least
I followed the smoke
I kissed and It choked
I starve as I feast
Smoke follows beauty
As if it’s it’s duty
It curls and swells above wishing wells and feigns sweet release
It’s the nature of the beast
It’s the nature of the beast
There’s a face in the fire
And it knows you’re a liar
A bright golden hue
As warm as it’s true
And it burns just for you
I took the shortcut
That led through the graveyard
It was the ghosts
That I needed most
Now they won’t let me be
It’s the nature of the beast
It’s the nature of the beast
You can smell the woods burning
From miles away
Downwind as it’s turning
from the dead of the night to the heart of the day
As it lifted the veil
To reveal the deceased
It’s the crimes we forget
long past debt
While the sentence increased
It’s the nature of the beast
It’s the nature of the beast

Half Empty

Half Empty
My glass is half empty
But the moon is half full
My shake-down is on the ground
Laced in beggar’s wool
The water’s overflowing
Rising with the tide
Pour your last shot , it’s all that we’ve got
Just know that we tried
I still can’t find my way back home,
I still can’t find my way back home
The war will still be waiting
at the break of day
It’s no use to try , there’s no sleeping tonight
So lets pour the night away
All the dreams are gone
In the cold light of dawn
The borders are closed , The king has no clothes
But we still carry on
I still can’t find my way back home,
I still can’t find my way back home...
My glass is half empty
But the moon is half full
My shake-down is on the ground
Laced in beggar’s wool

No Shadows on the Sun

No Shadows on The Sun
Still the moonlight’s breaking
All the leaves are shaking
Now the dying day is done
The parade is passing
Falling off the edge of Earth at last
One by one
There’s no shadows on the Sun
There’s no shadows on the Sun
Only wanting one thing
Burning into nothing
Spreading ashes like a seed
Burning all it touches
The memories of fading lights
Consecrating all it sees
There’s only shadows left in me
There’s only shadows left in me
The absence of the sunlight
Filling up the cracks
Of your smile all at once
Underlines the wasted
Punctuates the dissipated
Like the barrel of a gun
Sifting through the refuse
Along the dried up river
Where the water once flowed free
Through the fog of morning
The light shines through the clouds
Out of it and into me
There’s no shadows on the Sun
There’s no shadows on the Sun

Hang The Moon

Hang the Moon
If it’s too late it’d be too soon
Cut the noose and hang the moon
Hang the moon
Pull my strings until I’m strung
Hang the moon until it’s hung Hang the moon
Hang the moon
Hang the moon
Blind my eyes ‘til I can see
All that’s left inside to be
Push me away until I’m near
Blur the meaning ‘til it’s clear Hang the moon
Hang the moon
Hang the moon
If it’s too late it’d be too soon
Cut the noose and hang the moon
Hang the moon
Sing this song until it’s sung
Pull my strings until I’m strung
Hang the moon
Hang the moon
Hang the moon

Kiss & Make Up

Kiss and Make Up
Broken hearts are a waste of time
Punishments don’t fit the crime
Easy to regret
Hard to forget
You may never get
To pay out the debt
It’s like a dream that won’t come true
It’s like a life you never knew
So easy to love
So hard to let go
So simple to guess
So hard to know
Kiss and make up The sunset dies
Witness marks Carved in your eyes
As long as days go by
Count the seconds as they fly away from you
Kiss and make up
The sunset dies
Witness marks
Carved in your eyes
Kiss and make up
The sunset dies
Witness marks
Carved in your eyes
As long as days go by
Counting seconds as they die
As long as days go by
Counting seconds as they fly away from you

The Love You Left Behind

The Love You Left Behind
Twilight slips away another day
Spent hopelessly in vain
Wishing this would be the day that you would say
You’re coming home again
It’s tearing up my mind
The Love You Left Behind
It’s tearing up my mind
The Love You Left Behind
Another day I pray for rain
I bought my pleasure and paid for it in pain
Another day I pray for rain
I bought my pleasure and paid for it in pain
It’s tearing up my mind
The Love You Left Behind
It’s tearing up my mind
The Love You Left Behind
I threw your picture in the fire
And watched the ashes float up to the sky
I looked everywhere I could and never found a place
Where dreams can go to die
Now it’s tearing up my mind
The Love You Left Behind
It’s tearing up my mind
The Love You Left Behind
It’s tearing up my mind
The Love You Left Behind
It’s still tearing up my mind
The Love You Left Behind

Thief In Reverse

Thief in Reverse
I climbed out your window
A thief in reverse
Into a prison
That was the rest of the Earth
I kicked from your streets
Two feet on four wheels
Outside knowing
Nothing else was real
You met my first love
My second, my third
My fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh...
I know this is sounding absurd
Those stars on the rooftop
Those songs in the walls
Those letters in the attic, I haven’t forgotten at all
They’re tearing you down
Soon anyway
I don’t know for sure so I’m saying goodbye today
Your rooms were too small
Your walls were too thin
You windows are broken from where I kept climbing out and breaking back in
It’s where you come from
It’s where you’ve been
It’s where you’re going back to where it all begins

Last Trees of Heaven

Last Trees of Heaven
Broken legs
Sun dried on a picket fence
The stone's been flung
The trial's begun, where have you been?
After the moon has left
After the stars
After the president burns your guitars
After your sweetheart chokes on your blood
The last trees of heaven grow after the flood
Open your text books , turn to the page
The spirit's been hidden between highways and plague
But the seed that will feed has been stuck in the mud
The last trees of heaven grow after the flood
But the branches have broken and cupped in your hand
The fruit that has fallen’s been sucked from the strand
The weather has lifted , the feathers have dried
And flung from your pocket
Like the sand from the tide , like the sun from the night
They left you in darkness , no promise of light
But the crescent is winking
Look straight above
The last trees of heaven grow after the flood
Broken legs
Sun dried on a picket fence
The stone's been flung
The trial's begun, where have you been?
