This Morning After
05:35
|
|||
|
Morning has found you
laying in bed
shattered in ripped sheets
my voice in your head
This morning after
like none that you've seen
in patterns of cold dreams
instead of the steam
And I'm calling you in secret
I wish you could know
And I'm so low just to know
That you're so above me
Here's the street
and here's your front door
Here's the lock I turn
Here's the stairs that I would climb
If only I would learn
If you could be here
like a fly on the wall
There'd be no way out
for something that small
And you probably miss me
I know I can tell
Cause I can see how I'm smiling
When I'm all by myself
And I'm calling you in secret
I wish you could know
And I'm so low just to know
That you're so above me
There's the window you press into
There's your fingertips
There's the bed you pull me onto
Hoping I will slip
You're rising star on its' way down
I'm the sea you fell into
So, morning has found you
a little too soon
And all of those cold dreams
just crowd in your room
Well, this morning after
Yeah, it knows you by name
It's not what you're doing that's keeping me sane
And maybe I should call you
but I got some deadlines
Falling down was worth it
But I think you'll do fine
You're a setting sun on it's way out
I'm the grave that you rose from.

Masonic Henry's Daughter
04:55
|
|||
|
Crawl across the water
The sun is setting low
Masonic Henry's daughter
She had to pay the toll
He's just a simple boat man
Don't know nothin' bout the blues
So, Masonic Henry's daughter
Had to pay for all his dues
Somebody called the police
and the Times-Picayune
For Masonic Henry's daughter
Must have spun her own cocoon
Broken bottles on the tin roof
Of a riverside lean-to
Where Masonic Henry's daughter
Was being force-fed all the screws
Nobody heard around the parish
All the ways they made her scream
Masonic Henry's daughter
Had to hide inside a dream
Mother love could never comfort
Heavy trauma to the soul
Masonic Henry's daughter
Was discovered in a hole
Now, some people pay in plastic
Yeah, some people pay in green
Masonic Henry's daughter
Was the fee, so now he's clean

Make Some Noise
05:06
|
|||
|
What makes you want to do right?
Is it the shadow of desire?
Is it the light of your fire?
What keeps you awake at night?
Is it the waxing of the moon?
Is it that I might be there soon?
And we lie awake in darkness delegating choice
And stood for what the other one was never willing to
Make some noise
Will you not come when I'm calling?
Will you not open up your door?
Will you not show me a little more?
How can you keep me from stalling?
Is it your element of surprise?
Is it the twinkle in your eyes?
But you always did take such a private, private joy
In fooling all of those you'd lay to waste when you'd
Make some noise
Make some noise
Make some noise
What makes me return to your side?
Is it your heart which stands the test?
Is it the rising of your chest?
How does this end? Where will we stand?
There is no precedent of late
And there is none to anticipate
And we lie in pieces on the floor like broken toys
Scared to move for fear that one of us very well could
Make some noise
Make some noise
Make some noise

Painless Way Out
05:17
|
|||
|
You may not understand the words I'm saying
But you damn sure know the meaning that I'm laying down
Lay your hands on me
Take your hands off me
When cornered you display your darkest demons
And contradict your Holy Roman Truth
Only Heaven isn't calling
And the sky isn't falling
But between you and me and trinity
There is nowhere I belong
I just came in to tell you I'm something you're better without
But between me and you and the devil's due
There is nothing you did wrong
All I need now is a drink and a painless way out
You've been to friends and enemies and in-laws
Who call my bluff with whimsey, rhyme, and reason
All they have is pocket wisdom
Put my hands on the pistol
But between you and me and trinity
There is nowhere I belong
I just came in to tell you I'm something you're better without
But between me and you and the devil's due
There is nothing you did wrong
All I need now is a drink and a painless way out
But between you and me and trinity
There is nowhere I belong
I just came in to tell you I'm something you're better without
But between me and you and the devil's due
There is nothing you did wrong
All I need now is a drink and a painless way out

Violet
03:10
|
|||
|
I saw you on the dance floor with a violet in your hand
Like a movie queen in a bedroom scene
Or just lying there in the sand
Maybe there'll be thunder and lightning in your bed
Kitchen floors and bedroom doors
And a looming thought of dread
Music in all of your screams
Daylight in all of your dreams
Ten hours down on my knees
To give you whatever you please
Could you be the blanket that would cover me for now
My winter snow for your summer glow
We could make it work somehow
Baby dolls in a sleeping bag, they can keep you up all night
Do you ever get the sense
That none of this is right
Keep autumn and spring on the run
And always at the barrel of a gun
You've asked me now twice to go
Is there something you want me to know
But you're keeping it on the downlow
I saw you on the dance floor with a violet in your hand

We Should Talk
04:31
|
|||
|
We should talk
All about this fallen angel at your doorstep
All about the time you told me we were friends
We should talk about the old times that we once knew
We should probably not make new ones, me and you
Let's ask the walls
what they saw when the boy was disappointing
Did they witness how you'd lose your crooked mind?
Did they see you heavy-hand his disposition?
Did they watch you try to make his spirit die?
I saw it all from a thirty-five year window
I saw it all
I came back here to remind you
I saw it all
I saw it all
Steady now
I'm sure memory will tell you something different
You always knew to wash your hands 'til they were clean
You always knew to check on all your signs of damage
You always told me these reactions were routine
I saw it all
You keep thinking you're forgiven
I saw it all
You just think that I've forgotten
I saw it all
I saw it all
I saw it all
You always said
That you believed it ghosts
But you'll not believe
You could create your own
I saw it all
I saw it all
I saw it all
I saw it all
I saw it all
We should talk
All about why I have called you here before me
All about these crimes for which you stand accused
We should talk about the old times that we once knew
And for once answer for each and every bruise

Truth Be Told
02:28
|
|||
|
We lost ourselves on the way
Like children far too long out to play
Maybe you won't remember my name
But yours is such a permanent stain
We kept our hands to ourselves
Placed intentions high on the shelf
Silk and lavender hug your frame
And men who won't again be the same
I've tried to reach you at home
By pigeon, telegram, telephone
Still nothing seems to be getting through
Still writing verse to memories of you
Jesus, let the time take its' toll
On fools who never seem to let go
Truth be told and truth be tossed
From mouths where memory is the cost
