Just Like You

With the mountains all around I’ll fall in tune with you
And the menthol cigarettes will bring me back
But this always has its darker side
But just for now I’ll let you break the glass
But it’s too much
Something I always knew
I’m afraid of
Becoming just like you
As the clouds start forming how I’ll lose control with you
And the cold will steal the color of the sky
But the fires blaze and grow without relent
And I’ll float calm as a moon for alibi
In the cold clear light of day I’ll end up hating you
And the wounds will stand like shadows overhead
But the waning flames may burn for all of time
And I know it’s up to me to take that step

Black Seas

Brother, the bodies are falling again
the days drag and the sunlight is no one's friend
I write my life hour to hour, unsorted as ever
but I can't help but pick you up
Brother, so much history in your head
You've been all around but now your eyes are dim
The shrapnel, death, and the bombs and you still carried on
But you can't look me in the face
Brother, you're sailing black seas again
You're in the city where nothing is forbidden
The ghost wanders abound while the chill of secrecy clouds
but you can't bear to leave the house
Brother, we'll count and bury the dead
Like two birds on fire who can be forgiven
I'll crash my plane into yours and we'll go down together
and hope we never go back
Too far gone
are we just too far gone
how I thought we could call the shots
now we're just too far gone

Dead Wood

I think I’ve been lowering my sights
Hoping I could turn this tide
I’m so scared of what they’d say
That I can’t go home yet
Only road to Indiana
WIshing I could take the wheel
You talk too much and ask no questions
But it’s too late to go home I guess
Can’t stop the darkness creepin
Can’t stop replaying those scenes
I swore we were somewhere else
It’s worse than I thought it was
Oh how it hurts when that dead wood burns
So you’ve been lowered down here too?
Hoping I could pull you through
I’m so scared I’ll mess this up
Wasted days and empty cups
Only road to Colorado
Sun peeking over the trees
I had too much in Kansas City
So much for taking it easy
Last few slabs of snow and
Trying to know more than I should
Guess that it’s all over now
Debts must be paid somehow

Old Friend

The day I went by inpatient care
You loaded on me more than I could bear
Fifty five a day
How’d it escalate?
I’d like to believe my own lie
Old friend, maybe you’ll be alright
I’m lost in the deep webs you’ve spun
With the dark edges of your clever tongue
Oh but how we’ll fall
Trying to get away with it all
Can you turn this around?
It’s harder to see how
Send you off in my mind
Plan your rebellion every night
So of course you’re not the one to blame
As you’re laughing right into the flames
Oh and so you’ll go
Build your tower all alone
You can worship the mind
But oh let me know what you find
So we’ll tie down time like a rope
Count all our steps, then the letting go
So go live your myth
In your clipper ship
I hardly know your face
How’d we separate?

Home

Locked up again
Can’t we make amends?
If only they had more to do in this town
Just let me go
This seems overblown
The pills are just so I can sleep anyhow
And I said
I’ll turn this around
I will turn this around
But home is nowhere
And this kids don’t talk to me no more
And this always ends the same
Building a tower and forever circling the drain
It’s just like giving up
That old burn on my tongue
I think this won’t matter in a thousand years
So I’ll sink back down
Right into the ground
It’s getting hard to trace a wound that heals
They don’t know how it is
