Oxeye

We met in a field of wildflowers
Can't help but think it was out of our control
The holes in your petals held your jewels
Reflecting the rays that bathed you in gold
But I got cold after midnight
Despite your emblazened light
Legs that you stood on were chains for my wrists
I gladly surrendered my obedience
And from time to time I'll catch your scent
It'll bring me visions of a foreign land
But I got cold after midnight
Destined for a non-stop flight
My oxeye-d lover will I see you again?
Will I return to your garden?
Though you found my heart in Wetherspoons
You never asked me where I'm goin'

Honeysuckle

Sometimes I worry that I'm not enough of a man to give someone my all
Feeble attempts to attract strangers, faceless by default
Speak to me softly, my ears are weary from listening to heartbroken songs
But can a heart be broken, if it's never been whole at all?
The birds and the bees
They'll never agree
It's always been kill or be killed
We'll fight in the trees
But our roots still run deep
Come beat your wings on my chest
Microwaved coffee and symbols of gratitude litter my dark, wooden desk
I've never been one to complain, but I'm growing restless in my lonliness
The birds and the bees
They'll never agree
It's always been kill or be killed
We'll fight in the trees
But our roots still run deep
Come rip your love from my chest
I never asked for any of this
All I wanted
Was someone to miss
But when this is over
You know where I'll be
Where the sun hits just right
And the nectar is sweet
At the honeysuckle
Honeysuckle

In Limbo

I've got a letter and it's addressed to the coils of my bed
They creak and they groan
Can't get off the phone
They bounce me and leave me for dead
So when I go
Well I'm taking my pittance
And my shoes
And my coat
And my hat
Shuffling down the street
Starin' at my feet
I've got a picture and it's a picture of me and of you
It's faded, discoloured
Eyes look like your mother's
We're dying and enjoying the view
So when I go
Well I'm taking my likeness
And my tools
And my smokes
And my dreams
Standing on the corner
No one waves to me
I've got a memory and she's a windless and troubled misgiven
All bite and no bark
Earthquakes in the dark
Unfasten and go on forgiven

Oh, it grows
02:40
|

|
Give me a hammer in my hand
And give me a ladder for to stand
That I might build myself again
My poor old heart's in reprimand
Give me a reason to stay
And give me an errand for the day
That I might demonstrate my worth
Before we both return to clay
Oh, it grows everyday
Despite the snow

Nesting Doll

The fog is gone and so are my friends
And from our mouths a circumstance
Was brewing in our bones
The time had come
We were left without the only ones
Who were hurt in the war
But we count our tomorrows like the ticking bomb
We've left it unattended
And what you find
Is a nesting doll
The onward racing shore
It's dark out now it's time to head in
Where the monsters hide is where the fun begins
Go deep into the valley
But we count our tomorrows like the ticking bomb
We've left it unattended
And what you find
Is a nesting doll
The onward racing shore
I'm at home inside my mind
Oh paper walls crashing through
If all this work goes no farther than the dirt
At least I'll have died knowing you
If all this work goes no farther than the dirt
At least I'll have died knowing you

Dalmatian Lake

Dalmatian lake, the speckled, spotted sea
Washing over the island of reeds
Look down to find me
Look down to find me
And there I'll be
Wretched refuse and carpentry
Drifts and beaches around her beak
Look down to find her
Look down to find her
And there you were
The answer my friend isn't in the sand
Look to the Earth and she'll show her worth
Look down to find me
Look down to find me
And there we'll be
