Gold At The End
04:11
|
|||
The weather report's been wrong since we felt right
A tally of days gone by without a fight
So I ran through the rain like an 80s movie montage
Dripping poison and self pity from my pores, just longing for a song
With a cinematic breadth and scope and wonder
To sync it to my steps off the edge
If you only find gold at the end of the rainbow
Whatcha gonna find at the end of the world?
Try to hide kaleidoscopic eyes
Yeah whatcha gonna do when the colors swirl?
If you only find gold at the end of the rainbow
Whatcha gonna find at the end of it all?
Try to ride the rise and fall
The fall, the fall, the fall
Tell me, how do you think we should play this
Dry and dying oasis?
I was back in the halls of my high school for the first time
I was tripping, I was shaking like a leaf, just trying to discern
Have I been absent from this all for so long?
Have I been packing it up all wrong?
If you only find gold at the end of the rainbow
Whatcha gonna find at the end of the world?
Try to hide kaleidoscopic eyes
Yeah whatcha gonna do when the colors swirl?
If you only find gold at the end of the rainbow
Whatcha gonna find at the end of it all?
Try to ride the rise and fall
The fall, the fall, the fall

A Line In Your Book
02:41
|

I’ll be a line in your book
Mentioned with your hometown
A bridge, not to burn down
But to lift you on your own
You’ll be a modern timeless classic
I’ll try deciphering your pages
But I will share you with the ages
May your story be yours alone
I will be honest I don’t know if
I had a story to tell before you
A travelogue to pore through
Dusty, tedious, and forlorn
You’ll be the title of my book
Featured in every chapter
Here now, forever after
Dog-eared pages, but never torn
You’ll be the ones that I’ll keep trying
To capture with poetic pretense
Perfect prose and consonance
That could carve into stone

Oh, what could it be
Your last memory of me?
If I just fell asleep
Would you forget too easily?
Oh, to be the lucky firefly
To make it through
Seasons repeating endlessly
Without a clue
It's all the chase
No time or place
To be
We watch the moon grow
For the first time in, I don't know
If we could hide fear
Then what the hell would ever show?
It's all the chase
No time or place
To be
To be

When The River Runs Low
02:58
|
|||
Dragging dust, left a wake
Only packing what I need to take
Bygone, let it go
Maybe it's love when the river runs low
Good night, alright
Tomorrow isn't over for me
Good night, alright
I haven't forgot who you thought I would be
Summer blood, open door
My legs are not made of stone anymore
Dry spell preordained
But I'm off until I get drenched in the rain again
Good night, alright
Tomorrow isn't over for me
Good night, alright
I haven't forgot who you thought I would be
Down and out and turning blue
You know what you gotta do
Tumble through that wide open door
And taste the sweet concrete like you meant to
Good night, alright
Tomorrow isn't over for me
Good night, alright
I haven't forgot who you thought I would be

Dust Devils
04:07
|

I can stand in the middle of the road
And the cars will pass me swerving
My vision doubles and triples
Until there's a hundred roads in front of me
There's nothing left here for me except everything
Everywhere I turn is a new scene
Every second I wait is a wasted dream
Wishing into discontent
Or the other way around
I will lose myself in steps or leaps
To anywhere else
If I'm a dog, I'm leashed to a fig tree
And each one looks so good
And I'm free, but I'm too damn dumb
And too damn loyal to leave
Look around, look around
Look around me
Dust devils and tumbleweeds
There's nothing worse that could happen to anybody
Than driving back out east
I watch the figs drop
Bruce says that we were born to run
But how we ever make it back where we're coming from?
Bruce says that we were born to run
But now my legs are paralyzed and I can't pick em up
I wanna see the plains through Cather's eyes
Then maybe I would stay and it would be alright
It would be alright
It'll be alright
Dust devils and tumbleweeds
There's nothing worse that could happen to anybody
Than driving back out east

Look Up/Look Out
02:51
|
|||
In a twist of fate- are you sitting down?
We got away from this town
And stayed alone
We found a way to pretend
We’d never need each other again
And sank like stones
(Look up, look out)
How far down is the bottom of the ocean?
Can’t slow down cause perpetual motion
Keeps me swimming around, you know I am
Sinking all the way down
Boxed out by sharpening elbows
Desperate for a story to tell those
Black site rooms
Strung along and strung out, we’re too far gone
Too little light at the dawn to
Stay in bloom
(Look up, look out)
How far down is the bottom of the ocean?
Can’t slow down cause perpetual motion
Keeps me swimming around, you know I am
Sinking all the way down
Hold on til the breakaway
Long time comin til the end of the day
Midnight is here to stay
Nothing else left in my DNA
Hold on til the breakaway
Long time comin til the end o the day
Midnight is here to stay
I guess Y2K did a job on me

Orange Leaves
03:13
|
|||
Don't believe a word, I'm taking everything back now
I can carry on incessantly, depressingly, but anyhow
All I ever wanted was to be one of my own
Heard and maybe understood, some driftwood turned to a cornerstone
Further down the road
Another month or so
It's the same old song
Nothing to reveal
A stutter step, a broken wheel
It goes all day long, all day long anymore
Lay out in the yard like I'm a pile of orange leaves
At the mercy of the slightest gust, I'm only just in full relief
Don't you fear the words, just let them hang out in the air
Sometimes better, sometimes worse it seems, lucid dreams in disrepair
Further down the road
Another month or so
It's the same old song
Nothing to reveal
A stutter step, a broken wheel
It goes all day long, all day long anymore
Don't believe a word
Don't believe a word
Oooh la la la
Oooh la la la
Oooh la la la la
Oooooooooooooooh

Lost and Losing You
03:59
|
|||
Jittery from the perpetual hum of a busted out radio
I wonder if we have already met everybody we'll ever know
Desolate impossibility, I tried to catch your name
I swear it's true, still on the tip of my tongue, and I hope that you feel the same
If you're here, make a sound
Hit the switch, leave a clue
Will you wait up ahead of me?
I'm losing you
I'm lost and losing you
Lost sight, losing all my nerve, lost time with no time to kill
I never quite get the dial right, and I probably never will
If you're here, make a sound
Hit the switch, leave a clue
Will you wait up ahead of me?
I'm losing you
I'm lost and losing you

C.S.T.S.

Wasn’t all that long ago we knew
The tall tales of time and place were through
An unflinching ageless ‘here’
But these days no rabbits run when I come near
I strain to hear that sound
We become as seasons go
That’s how it has to be
But those cicada songs still keep me company
Ghost city, it’s a bit of a bummer
Winter, autumn, spring and summer
I got used to seeing you around
Whatever we got’s begged and borrowed
It's a long walk til tomorrow
I won’t let you down
I had that dream again
We become as seasons go
That’s how it has to be
But those cicada songs still keep me company
Is fate gonna be up to this?
Or should we pack it up
And gather back at home?
In the dark, the trees are shaking
In the light, our voices breaking
We become as seasons go
That’s how it has to be
But those cicada songs still keep me company
