Homegrown (Intro)

I used to be a levee
Fill me up and I'll break
These days I'm just a funnel
Let the water trickle through all day
I'm sick of having dreams
I'm tired all the time
Full of ideas
Busting at the seams

Love is in your fireplace
Love is in her packed suitcase
It's by the door but she is wanting more
And all you say is
"You're the one I've waited for,
the one who makes a moment from thin air
and takes it back from there"
And if you cannot find the place
And if you cannot find her face
Then you will wander all alone
And fall into forever
Tell you what I know,
You're on your own!
No one who could help you hears this tone
Alone, you kneel to days that drone
And all you feel is heavy days
the quiet plays your head just like the skin stretched on a drum
The shakes, the tension comes
And if you cannot find the place
And if you cannot find her face
Then you will wander all alone
And fall into forever

Bells

Your silence speaks volumes
Hear the bells beating softly in your eyelids
Come closer, I can tell you
It takes one and one and fire just to make two
And I can't fake you
But I'm a firebrand
It's time to do or die or tell you I am made of sand
And we are grown from dirt
The earth is everywhere
It's in the sea, sewn into wind that blows right through your hair
You'll tell me that I'm another one
Another lightning strike, I'm all the time you've spent undone
I am envy and cracked conscience
I am fearful for your faulty fascinations
But let me make it clear
I'm on my own way
I don't have time to figure out what you want me to say
And no one waits forever
So get your shit together
And I promise that I'll be the best you ever had

I know it's hard being in the right place at the wrong time
Knowing that you picked the wrong line
But you're gonna be fine, just stop
And take a look at your hands,
Are they idle? Do you stand like a lost lamb?
Or do you tumble and roll like your parents of old?
Take your licks and climb a tree
This is who you were meant to be
Do you see all these

Tall, feign height
You're up, I'm down
Watch those eyes that linger lonely
Nothing's right, that's why I need you tonight
To talk and trip on words
Like nervous
But it's dark enough that I can't see my fingers
Be my guide, it's what I need from you tonight
Is it obvious I'm angry
For a fee you'll see if nothing else
That I can't help you help yourself
But everybody needs someone to fight
A price that comes with keeping secrets that you'll never tell
Like all the things you have to give
And all the things you'll keep them out of sight
I need you tonight

Down along the creek I fell for you
And you felt it too
I know there's nothing in your heart
But I'm here
In the golden sun
With the leaves and the running off of rain
And the day is coming short
Like a broken branch through the milky air
Can I touch your hair?
Is it soft like I always thought
It seems to be that you're only here
To help me feel at ease
Tell me now if I'm all that you count on
Cuz the truth be told I love you 'til I'm dizzy
But I know that you've got places to be
It's ok!
You were never that special to me anyway
It's getting late
It's a new moon and it's getting dark outside
But I'll leave you be
Just call me if you get lonely

Mess

Kiss me
I will put your picture on the wall
Tell me about all of what you are
How to make it look like you try so hard
Tell me
That for you the sun is not too bright,
Lock the day away and keep the light
Cuz the moon is out and it seems to like you
Let me
Be honest with you here,
There is more to see but less to feel
When you crush my hand just to make me kneel
Give me
Something crystalline and sickly sweet,
Saccharine but nothing short of real
And together we'll make up a rainy day

Lark
02:25
|

|
Tell me that I'm not alone
Or that you'll take me home
Betrothed and melting in your arms
To where the earth shakes
And all the love you make is like a breeze blocking
Over churning seas rocking me
(And everything is fucking green)
Sinking on a ship I made
I think I'm starting to fade
Into something, nothing, caught up in a downward cut
This is all I have, I guess it's not so bad
On a lark, like I'm cuttin through the dark fighting me

Mud

I know something you don't know
Trouble climb into your home
Late night when you're all alone
I know something you don't know
I know why you're on the phone
Late night when you're feeling low
I know why you're in the mud
I know why it's in your blood
I know who your master is
I know when he calls it quits
You'll be in a Chinese restaurant
Over rice with the mud still dripping down
I know something you don't know
trouble climb into your home
late night when you're all alone
I know something you don't know

I'm the first to admit I'm a stiff glass of water
All of the talking but nothing to offer
Leave you a note just to tell you i love you
It always sounds better on paper
How come you don't know that?
This time I left you for sand and a sunburn
Six years did I know you now what makes my world turn?
You are a faultless but nonetheless fearful companion
I'll tell the stories but never abandon them
What if i told you that this wasn't my real name?
Borrowed this car, bought a shirt at a tag sale
I never said I was worthy of trusting,
But now that you're here, can I buy you some coffee?
Someday I'll meet with a girl sings the song out
She might know just where to go now that I don't
I never thought it would get to these moments
A sunburnted breeze and a view like the gods on audition
