on some side--
on some sidewalk i waited for you
walk through the snow
fall on the street and then i hear you
callin for me
you were in my heart
for a night
you were in my heart
for a night
and that’s alright
took my rage
torn up page
sun don’t shine on my hillside
why things die
no one knows
all that’s dark’s just a dead light
you were in my heart
for a night
you were in my heart
for a night
and that’s alright
The Marks of Love we Make
Upon the Frozen Lake
Will Last Until We Go
And Join What Lies Below

and i try to explain that it won’t be the same
that the pain won’t remain in the cracks in our brain
that it was what it was and it is what it is
but i was not watching until what it is
and the words on my mind are like layers of ice
and they break when you walk and they break when you run
and they break when you laugh and they break when you die
and they break til the river explodes in the light
and i wait for the clouds and i wait for the storm
and i wait for the children that wait to be born
and i try to peer down from the little black shore
but all i can see is a face that you scorn

Yesterday’s lost but tomorrow is won
And my time’s runnin out though i’ve only begun
And the show’s goin on, though I missed a few scenes
I can still piece together what’s happening to me
I’ve been alone for too long
I’ve been looking for you
In all the wrong places cuz i need a place to lie down
And a river to drown
And a song to repeat to myself til i’m found
Down in the gutter
Where dreams are a lie
And the truth is just somethin you keep from your mind
And my hands are both breaking
From fighting myself
If i can’t be myself
Then i’ll be someone else
And i’m not gonna hide
I’m not gonna run
I’m not gonna lie
And no i aint done
Cuz the Fires are burning but i’m still alive
And it’s all i can do to find somewhere to hide
I’ve been alone for too long
I’ve been looking for you
In all the wrong places cuz i need a place to lie down
And a river to drown
And a song to repeat to myself til i’m found
Down in the gutter
Where dreams are a lie
And the truth is just somethin you keep from your mind
And my hands are both breaking
From fighting myself
If i can’t be myself
Then i’ll be someone else

I don’t know anythhing at all
I’m lookin out into the wall
And it’s gold and it is white
And even in the night
I’m lookin out into the wall
I’m lookin up into the ground
I’m cryin out to be found
And the way that it begins
It’s not the way it ends
I’m lookin up into the ground
It’s twelve a clock in tulsa time
I guess i’m headed down the line
To some place in my mind
I go that’s only mine
I guess i’m headed down the line
We’re all just headed down the line
We’re all just headed down the line
We are gold and we are white
And even in the night
We’re all just headed down the line

When you find me in the water
Don’t call after me
When you see me in the shadows
Let me be
Cuz i went out to the darkness
Went out from the land
Cuz the peace that i desire,
I could not find on sand
And the light is just a wildfire
And the flames
Are comin’ after me

and the only place i can hear your voice
the only place i can feel your love
big black hole and your little boy
and we sing and laugh and we cry the same
and we feel the joy and the pain
And i feel the blood runnin through my veins
And the only time when it’s not the end
The only time when you come again
When i go insane, i can hear your name
When i hear your name, i can feel your love
When i feel your love, i can feel the pain
When i feel your love, i can rise again
And the kids out runnin in the park
They were ridin their bikes out in the park
And the silent owl up on the wire
Did we lose the love, did we lose the fire
And i’ll never know why i’m alive
Can’t stop the dark, can’t hold the light
momma callin all her kids inside,
gonna tuck em in, gonna say goodnight
When i go insane, i can hear your name
When i hear your name, i can feel your love
When i feel your love, i can feel the pain
When i feel your love, i can rise again

Nowhere Down the Line
02:34

in our journey to the light,
we follow the dead
we stumble cross the bridges they make
O, spanish girl, i’d give you my world
if my world was somethin’ you could take
the fires are raging on the open sea
and the bones, they radiate, in my black hole heart
in our way to the light,
we call for the dead
we reach for their stars in our minds
slow falling clouds
you’re nowhere now
nowhere, further down the line
nowhere further down the line
nowhere down the line
I’ll meet you
further down the line
