New Era

Scorched by the fires of radical honesty
I was just trying to stay warm
Nothing burns like unreciprocated loyalty
But I know you meant no harm
I know you meant no harm
And I never meant no harm
And I think people rarely do
Maybe I’m naive to believe in you
And I think people rarely do
Baby I’m naive, but I believe in you
I got a soft spot like the storm of Jupiter
And I try to take your place
All of the times I’ve tried to empathize with you
Are visible from space
They’re visible from space
They’re visible from space
I’m slowly freed from your karma
New era upon new era
I’m slowly feed from your karma
New era, new era
Catching embers, I never learn my lesson
I’m like a kid at night
It took me a while to learn it won’t get me to heaven
Intentionally losing the fight
Intentionally losing the fight
Intentionally losing the fight

How's the War

How’s the war
How’s the war
Are the good guys still winning
Are you sure
How’s life in the trenches
Are you bored
How’s the war
With a grin
I hope you win
But then the loneliness
It sets in again
Whatever happened to
Thick and thin
But I hope you win
I hope you win
So one more time
I write a letter to the front lines
One more time
Just because you’ve been on my mind
One more time
‘Cause I sleep better knowing you’re alive and well
So how’s the war
How’s the war
Is it really worth
Not living for
Is it still peace
That you’re fighting for
How’s the war
How’s the war
So one more time
I write a letter to the front lines
One more time
Just because you’ve been on my mind
One more time
‘Cause I sleep better knowing you’re alive and well
So how’s the war
How’s the war
Are the good guys still winning
Are you sure
Is it really worth
Not living for
How’s the war
How’s the war

I Digress
03:30
|

|
Give me rest
Cold water and a rag on my head
Sunlight through the windows to my bed
Nothing more that can’t go left unsaid
But I digress
And speak what I’m afraid of to your chest
Every day I fear you even less
Nothing on my conscience to confess
You bring me peace
Hold me close then set my mind at ease
Safe harbor from the wind and raging seas
‘Til these storms calm to a gentle breeze
But I digress
And speak what I’m afraid of to your chest
Every day I fear you even less
Nothing on my conscience to confess
Bathed in grace
Moonlight falling gentle on my face
Silver lines on the floor of your place
All my bitterness released away
But I digress
And speak what I’m afraid of to your chest
Every day I fear you even less
Nothing on my conscience to confess
But I digress
And speak what I’m afraid of to your chest
Every day I fear you even less
Nothing on my conscience to confess

Hearts of Stone
03:04

Hearts of stone, tongues of fire
I’m alone and you think I’m a liar
Nothing more than a villain
In the memoirs of your mind
But isn’t it always the way these things go
We become people we never could know
Tell me it’s not always worse up close
We’re cold as a church bell
I’m trying to believe in better than ghosts
Better than haunting this small town on the coast
Trying to believe you’re better than most
But I’m losing faith
It’s coming down to the wire
Could I be somebody you admire
And could you save me
From my cruelty
Is it always you know when you know
Is it always I go where you go
Is it always worse up close
And cold as a church bell
I’m trying to believe in better than ghosts
Better than haunting this small town on the coast
Trying to believe you’re better than most
But I’m losing faith
I never should have trusted you to trust in me
I never should have trusted myself to trust in you
I’m trying to believe in better than ghosts
Better than haunting this small town on the coast
Trying to believe you’re better than most
But I’m losing faith

Nothing in this world sadder than a dead bird
Nothing in this world
What you did to me I know you’ll do to her
Pretty little thing with the spirit of a dead bird
An early memory
Life’s first lesson in death
Feathers by the window
What a mess, what a mess
Nothing to be undone
Blink and a life is lost
Flying to the unknown
It comes with such a cost
‘Cause nothing in this world is sadder than a dead bird
Nothing in this world
What you did to me I know you’ll do to her
Pretty little thing with the spirit of a dead bird
Well, I guess your demons are your business now
And I guess your demons are her business now
And may you be at peace,
May she be at peace,
May she tell you not to drink
More convincingly than I did
And may you be happy
May you be healthy
May she tell you what she thinks
May she know when it’s time to leave
Well there’s nothing in this world that’s sadder than a dead bird
Nothing in this world
