Throw Me a Bone

We all sit here, and discuss amongst ourselves
Trivial suggestions to answer all our questions
But here we sit, and here we sing
We’re made to ponder each and every little thing
And then the words you said they thought so profound
The words you said, I’ve got written down
The words you said they thought so profound
The words you said, I could not read aloud
It takes a blind eye to forget
The angel upon your shoulder
The pains of our misfortunes
Crushed in to the mortar of our embrace
I said I just miheard what you said
I swear this problem it’s come between us
I’m sorry like I said, but even
A steady hand needs fair warning, needs fair warning.
It takes a lifetime to forage
The mysteries that enrage us
The shiny rocks that engage us
And the problems we leave in stages of trouble and disrepair
The words you said I thought so profound
Duly noted, maybe someday I will need to pull them out
The words you said on unstable ground
Duly noted, maybe someday I will need to pull them out
How could you’ve known this is how I’d be found
It’s down-times like these that I need to have you around
I’ll remember this ‘til you’re back in town
And cure my loneliness before I hit the ground
I just misjudged what you said
It came loud and clear this morning
Like a boot-kick in the head, I realized
The damage of my foreboding was well beyond repair

Midnight Storm
03:02
|

We turned each other out
Out of comfort, without a doubt
And we carried on without
Without a thought, without you about
And we laughed every time you cried
Because you thought you were dyin’
Walking by yourself in the moonlight
Shadows in the calm before the rain
Midnight storm
And so we sat trapped with each other
With the storm outside our tent
Found we were all in this together
And you spoke a word I could understand
Over the sound of the thunder’s crash
Midnight storm

Slip

We staffed this place
And drank so much I don’t think I can keep this pace
Feeling down
Knowin’ you won’t be wanderin’ around
A final toast,
To cheers our friends and this place where we make ammends
So here’s a thought
For you, and all of the wonderful things you do
For me, but I’ve never told you
So dry your eyes, and find a wqay that I can hold on to you
Before you’re gone
Like a missing link, like a ring down the sink somethings you’ll never find
‘Cause the good times fade so fast once you close your eyes
But here we breathe,
And here we speak about things that are only between you and me
And so I think, to myself, when will I see your face again
A tongue-tied thanks I’ll never tell you
I’ll dry my eyes and find a way that I can hold on to you
So you don’t slip away
And I can pull you out on a rainy day

Sweet Like Candy
02:46

So sweet, like candy, so come on over soon
So sweet like candy, I ain’t no love fool
Sweet like candy, a trick or treat for two
‘Coz I’m sweet like candy, cause I’m in love with you
...Everyone I know is not in my basement.

Rust

If I ran in to you more than chance,
I’d ask you out, we’d make some plans
Let’s go dance
But whe we dance, then we can’t talk
I’ll think of a warm place we can walk
My hand in yours
But when I talk with you I’m dull
No surprise you could never fall
Head over heels
So in darkness, life unfolds
Outside this room, it’s very cold
Too cold to listen
And when I talk to myself, I’m dull
When no one’s watching, maybe I’ll fall
Out of the picture
Chorus I know it’s up to me to say
To myself why should I stay
Bashing my head upon this wall
Do I really deserve to be here at all
Replace me with someone who cares
An honest heart with lots to share
While I am elsewhere
And in my faith in you I trust,
My memories will never rust
‘Cause I was never even there
Chorus

I don’t understand your being here, you’re falling one by one
Seeking out some new direction by which no one else has come
I stray just wide of your perfection, that trail of thoughts undone
As you spy with a beckoning eye for the evils yet to come
This way, it’s different but I can’t try explaing to you
So many things go wrong, but it’s a jaded point of view
Two years pass and the passive laugh as the lines on your face deepen
Stagnant years in a revolving door of passion and persuasion
Who’d ever want that to travel along side?
Your role has too many reason
Too many reasons, you dug up
Too many reasons for me to understand your ways-
They’re different so there’s no use explaining to me
This cancer spreads like wild fire to all thise in contact with me
These days, they’re different but I can’t try explaining to you
So many things go wrong, but it’s a jaded point of view

Fallen from the means he had before him
Tried to do what everyone else had done
It’s so hard to be new
So he waited for the sky to fall upon him
A star insofar, but no one cared
It’s so hard to talk in travel
With his gold band, on his stone hands
He moves to tell her, but she slips away again
The differences that rose to be barriers
Surround him as he watched the fire light
It’s so hard to do right
T’was just a case of tainted memory
His thought were all deranged and confused
Now it’s so hard to undo
Eatin’ donairs, missing long hair
Says, “I can’t wait to see her, but I’m down and out again”.

Ideas of Dobbin

I dreamt of a picture just you and me
Surrounded, the trees blown down like grass, where
I’d find you waiting for, the colours drained of dirt, the earth sank down
Along the doorstep, moving twice as fast and farther than before
The frame of reference falls subconscious of her mind
I’d give you a line - underfed and overslept, I know
You’d find me waiting there, but difficult to know
I dreamt a picture, the streets a fire
The path, clogged, burning tpwards the fields
The flare of lights beheld, in brilliant disarm, quickly
Smearing all the colours that you’d gathered from the ground the day before
I’m on the doorstep where the earth has sunken down, but
It’s full-proof...You’re fading away again
Into the Dacre room...These malladies forming as
I’d remember too...These thoughts escape you now
When you’re lonely
The coalman’s scraping beneath the surface
The candle light shed on the purpose
The shoes he’s worn are thin with years
Sweating black amongst the tears
The canary was released today
The mine was closed for good
The redundance of a newer world
But how were they to know?
Sunlight soon fades out, the blanket warms, the fire burns...

Forevermore

Sang along to all the words, we've had the best there is
It's been, a short four years
So what when I wake up in our empty house and you're not here
When I'm only wanting you
To be here, entirely I wish that you could
Relive this time with you, I would
When I leave for the southern shore
The nest that I have flown you've been with me before
And shine on me when I'm caught alone
You are all a part of me forevermore
