Hello Mire
04:25

Hello mire, you thick black fight
Lay it out, set it down
Strike me dead if I’m wrong
Let me know the cost of taking my own head
Fire flying I can’t take a break to fight
Fire flooding out my taste to know a lie
All’s not lost, if you call it crossed
All we are is second lines that make the first look straight
Fire flying I can’t take a break to fight
Fire flooding out my taste to know a lie
Fire flying I can’t take a break to fight
Fire flooding out my taste to know what’s right
Father if you hear me please
Take my breath and bind my knees
Because I’m staring at the tallest trees
Darker than the night I fight
Louder than my honest pleas
Drinking all I have to bleed
These days they are hungry things
Surrender them to find release

Swollen Tongue

I will try, but I can’t follow you out
No I won’t follow you out
It's coming close, these waters know my name
The dams that I have made
Fury it speaks with a swollen tongue tied
But hollower storms have still yet to subside
They’re calling to fallen to stay behind
Swiftly now, we’re flying all around
The shatter and the sound
So feign your might, breathe past all the doubts
The wall that crumbles down
Fury it speaks with a swollen tongue tied
Hollower storms have still yet to subside
They’re calling to fallen to stay behind
I’m going back
Back to where we started
I’ll find you there
Calling all my brothers

Backroads

Heavy loads
I’ve been taking a backroad laying low
But all my faults
Are coming loose in the back seat
So buckle in
We’re a long way from the main road
I’ve got the bends
From going too deep in my skin
The winding roads
Are cradling my path around the edge
But I’m on fire
Burning at both ends to find my way again
How long until I’m gone?
Until I’ve reached beyond your tries?
Keep me where I have been
I don’t want to lose my mind
Head first
Tripping over the tracks, I’m on my way
To your arms
Faithful and steadfast embrace
But the gun sounds
Hits behind my head to call my name back
How long until I’m there?
Until I’ve reached the other side?
To know that I won’t break
To know that I’m all right
Find me now, stepping out on hollow ground
Here I am, making my way to hallowed ground
How long until I’m there?
Until I’ve reached the other side?
To know that I won’t break
To know that I’m all right

Fall in Line
04:12
|

|
I’m stepping back to fall in line
You’re calling me out for the second time
But if you ever wanted I’d be there for another try
But I’m stepping back to fall in line
With all of the pollen in your eyes
Feeding the lies that make you blind
I’m clearing the ground, I won’t be held by all these vines
I’m burning down to mark my ground
But I go to come back
I go to come back
I go to come back around
I’ve fallen asleep with a second bride
I was given the two and a climbing tide
A torrent so strong I feel its grip inside my spine
It’s the softest gold, but a wave goodbye

Overflow
04:11
|

|
Tell my love I won’t be back for a little while
I’ve gone to sleep off all my days
With all we have I don’t go off to be alone
the faith is in harbor if I’ll just wait
But I won’t call it sacrifice
For all that I give I have received
The cup and the overflow
There is a hungry door I’ve closed to open again
Where ghosts have come to taunt my eyes
But freedom sings above the noise in the afterglow
And rivers spring in these dry lands
But I won’t call it sacrifice
For all that I have was given to me
The cup and the overflow

Doubt
03:48
|
|||
|
When I go back
Back to where it all went wrong
Bringing on the rain and the darkening skies
I believe in doubt, believing it’s on its way out
But she’s calling out my name just to see where I’ve been
But I’ve seen your face
And I’ve known the taste
Of tempering the iron from the ore
And I’ve run the race
But I’ve run in vain
Blaming the one begging to stay
I’m focusing on you,
You’re sobering my highest thoughts
Ringing out the devils in my head
But what do I look like? What do I feel like?
The shake in my hand and the stare in my eyes?
But I’ve seen your face
And I’ve known the taste
Of what you did to pay for my way out
And I’ve run the race
But I’ve run in vain
Blaming the one begging to stay

It’s a long long way to go to leave it
The petrichor is our world gone
With sea above and sky below us
Set it off, set it off
Are you a light that can’t be defeated?
Horizon aiming to deceive…
You’re pulling the moon out of your pocket
Put it in front so I can’t see

I am a wounded eye, can’t look back to see
Standing at going I am the shore as it falls to rise
Honest no longer, blacked out and gone to night
Sailing passed breakers I won’t be back in time
Falling asleep at the wheel I’m gonna be just fine
But we are not alone, no I’ve seen the shadows on the stone
Creeping out from the sun that splits the night
I’m breaking at your love
All that I’ve come to know, go on and cross it out
Sunrise somewhere bleeding colors that won’t go out
Honest no longer, blacked out and gone to night
Sailing passed breakers, I won’t be back in time
Falling asleep at the wheel I’m gonna be just fine
Because we are not alone, no I’ve seen the shadows on the stone
Creeping out from the sun that splits the night
I’m breaking at Your love
