Landscape With Ruins
03:34
|
|||
|
Shattered walls
Carve faces in the skies
Rubble for words, smoke for eyes
You used to sleep
And dreams would fall like snow
Now you'd better go
It's time to realize
That's a good way to get your heart broken
To love the world and expect it to care
A bitter truth is left unspoken
There are voices in the dust
We've become something
I don't understand
Cages for thoughts, hammers for hands
There's no place
For someone as rare as you
The fear crashes through
And burns where it lands
There are voices in the dust
You once were one of us

Weary Old World
04:16
|

It’s a weary old world
And we carry the scars
From the doors of the church
To back corner of every dark bar
I’ve done my best
But it was just out of reach
You’d think I would learn
But I’ve always been too stubborn to teach
No one gets out clean
The planet turns and sighs
Forget all you’ve seen
And close your eyes
For a little while
I wait at the light
While they cross the street
She glanced my way
Then quickly looked back down at her feet
Every soul in this town
In the same sad burlesque
Stare at the clouds
As they pass by the window near the desk

Clockwork Of A Heart
03:26
|
|||
|
I can hear the sea
Laughter in the wind
Your eyes shining like the waves
It's a beautiful moment
Too bad my mind's far away
I don't see the future
But I can feel it
And it slowly pulls apart
The clockwork of a heart
The phone will ring
A worried voice
And the world will crash all around
It hasn't happened yet
So of course that's where I'll be found
I don't see the future
But I can feel it
And it slowly pulls apart
The clockwork of a heart
In the foothills there's a wall
Holding back a waterfall of tears
With every tick and every tock
Another crack in that rock appears

Adios
03:39
|
|||
|
Nobody here wants to be the bad guy
Yet it’s clear that’s all that we are
Such a sight all that money on the table
Drive all night in a stolen car
There’s a part of yourself
You might have to kill
Just the the word adios
Written on a hundred dollar bill
Don’t need a disguise in broad daylight
Ben Franklin’s eyes watching with contempt
Blood in my hair woke up the hard floor
Wondering where all of the money went
This is gonna hurt
But you gotta lie still
Just the the word adios
Written on a hundred dollar bill
You better sleep with one eye open
Life is cheap but loyalty will cost you, son
It doesn’t make sense
And probably never will
Just the the word adios
Written on a hundred dollar bill

You watched your coffee growing cold
And felt your hope grow colder too
Didn’t you say that you’re through with love
But love’s not through with you
There was love that crashed in glowing fire
Love that was gone before you knew
All ended the same with you staring out the window
Because love’s not through with you
It’s natural enough to try
Long after the trying made any sense
Why do you look like you’re about to cry
While talking about love in the past tense?
Place your heart in a wooden box
Drive to where the tall trees loom
Bury it deep or it’ll be back someday
Because love’s not through with you
Didn’t you say that you’re through with love
But love’s not through with you
Love’s never through with you
