wash away

i was told i could be anybody i wanted
left the car by the creek to walk further but you said stop it
maybe once i saw myself breathing inside of you
in my head i found you dead there lying in your room
once your ghost flies out you're free of your body's burnt prison
staring through the smoke you see my door was always open
maybe once our bodies met they turned into the rain
falling straight into our souls to show us we're the same
find me in the forest where our quiet cabin waits
putting out this fire now the rain may wash away
find me on the mountain top to gently call your name
find me on the mountain top to gently call your name

are you sure? you're the door i want
hide the gun, that's the one
from the chair, i want you away
down the stairs, from the dark you came
if you want, i won't call, you today, wait for rain to come
time to care, time see myself
on the wall, up against i drop
you upstairs, from the chair - the well
screams awake, will you take my face?
what have you got to say? don't even bother running
pointing it at my face - blow me away
down the drain, there's a gorgeous lake
i don't care - this is what i'll make
down the drain, there's a gorgeous lake
in the cave - this is what i'll make
down the drain, there's a gorgeous lake
i don't care - this is what i'll make

in the lake

found you in the lake, your body
floating there: your skin, white as a dove
i can't hold you up from where you are
i know that you're afraid of drowning in the lake i found you in
with the world upon your soul
you don't want, you don't wanna come back home
you don't want, you don't wanna come back home
you don't want, you don't want, you don't wanna come back home
watch you from the dark, cold bottom
reaching for your hand: angel above
i can't pull you down from where you are
i feel you in my veins calling out from deep within the lake
with your hands upon my soul
take me back, take me to the quiet home
take me back, take me to the quiet home
take me back, take me back, take me to the quiet home

come home

baby, are you on the ground?
trapped under the ground?
waiting, for your soul
person you don't know
you don't know
maybe, are you on the ground?
trapped under the ground?
lady, have you tried and found
you're not- mind the sound of a leaving clown
walking down
scared of it
i'm not here
waiting, waiting for you
come home
come home
come home

no fire

told me you were down on the street, throwin' pens at the wall
screamin' till my head falls off, you were beggin' me to stay in the car
now we're sleepin' 'cos our eyes don't drop
i am wearing your coat
i found the devil in a paid phone call, that i paid for myself
and if the answerer was calling himself, and if the caller held his hand on his mouth, from all the secrets that he kept from himself
he found them looking at you
above the street from the roof
watching over you
until the matches made their way from the shelf, a quiet walk from your room
and if you circle but your legs won't stop, and if you're reaching back to pull it all up, then all the pictures that you kept in the trunk
will build a prison for you
try to burn it down with you, try to burn it down with you, try to burn it down with you, try to burn it down with you
try to burn it down
there is no fire
there is no flame

ode to the angel

slam my head to break the things i thought
straight into a wall
gotta write it down to make it real
and read it to myself
such a funny story i can tell
build the fantasy
rising to the angel of the town
falling to my knees
she says "silly boy your mortal flesh
is nothing next to me
no one really matters 'til they're gone
stop holding onto me"
now i see the writing the wall
i saw it from the street
watching say you're walking past my door
straight into his reach
what's the point and how else should it feel?
your grace is my release
straight into a book that's on the shelf
does that make it me?

in the dark II
04:30

on a ship i'm crawling in your skin and find me hiding quiet in the dark
holding this all in and sing it to me now is your heart beating in the dark?
like a floating bottle find me holding something silent figures in the dark
on this chest a lock a key against your breast now find me hidden in the dark
i can't stay locked in here there's a long mirror
stretching out from the sea when the ships came
i can sing out your name, but will you hear?
me out there, get me out, it's not safe here
harbor to the sailors calling for your hand to pull your body from the dark
watching as your golden hair creeps out its blinding as you throw me in the dark
making your escape it's clear your hands are shaking sunshine beating on the marks
as your skin returns to you they wrap you up and keep you running from the dark
there's no rain, there's no light, i can't run from here
take my boat, sail away, now a storm waits
watch your back, all your hair is a bright mirror
i wish you pulled me out but you left me here
