Just another drive home
70 eastbound
Calm down
Fear of the prelude
Smoke in the rear view
Come down
I am so out of practice
Looking for silver behind the clouds
All I needed was quiet
But nothing is quiet anymore
No, I don’t believe you
But everyone seems to
Wake up
I am so out of practice
Looking for the silver behind the clouds
All I needed was quiet
But nothing is quiet anymore

Earth Humming
04:11

Slow me down
Before I burn out
Soak me up
And wring me out
Walk the circle
Pace back and forth
Who’s the culprit
And what’s it worth
Nose is bleeding
I should go sit down
This is friction
Burns all the way down
Fuck me up
Push me around
Earth is humming
But I can’t hear a sound
Drop the rope or I’ll cut it
There’s only one way this goes down
I have to untether
And it will be profound
Stumble my way
Back into my room
This is peril
I have been consumed

You were trying to explain
I was hung up on how I’ve never heard you talk this way
You were so afraid
I couldn’t hang up the phone
Frozen in time, I’ll never let that moment go
As it started to snow
The thing about coincidence
Is the consequence
Coincidentally out of our hands
The sooner that you get that, the better
Easier said than done
I don’t know how to explain
But as hard as I try I can’t quite look at you the same
Knowing the play
You never got to decide
But you carried your torch and you always held it up so high
The thing about coincidence
Is the consequence
Coincidentally out of our hands
The sooner that you get that, the better
We’ll talk about it some time
When it feels right
After some of the sting’s worn off
The sooner that you get that, the better
Easier said than done
Oak & ocean
The thing about coincidence
Is the consequence
Coincidentally out of our hands
The sooner that you get that, the better
We’ll talk about it some time
When it feels right
After some of the sting’s worn off
The sooner that you get that, the better

In the Smoke

Okay, I give
Let’s sit and talk
Tell me how sorry
How sorry you are
Our suffering, God’s blessing
With a sign of the cross
Your sun set quickly
And it stayed dark
Somewhere out in the woods
I hoped I’d see you waiting there
Okay, I give
Let’s sit and talk
Ask me how I
How I’ve been feeling
God damn, it feels good
To not have to worry
But Goddamnit, I can’t shake it
I just feel guilty
Somewhere out in the woods
I hoped I’d see you waiting there
Floating above the fire
Outward palms
Disappear in the smoke
Somewhere out in the woods
I hoped that we could talk again
Throw it all in the fire
Clasping palms
Disappear in the smoke

The Wake
06:06
|

Are you afraid?
Like I’m afraid
Not brave enough to turn the page
Are you in pain?
Like I’m in pain
Nothing’s ever gonna be the same
I need to talk to you
Was it the cancer, or the drugs?
Who do I take this up with?
Extemporaneous
Make it all up as we go
Living in the trauma
Wasting away
I disassociate
Drift away a little further every day
Lost in the wake
Of these crashing waves
The guilt I get to live another day
I need to talk to you
But I can’t call you on the phone
I just need to hear you
Feels like we’ve been dreaming this
How could any of it be real?
You have always been here
Hey, wait
I’ve almost caught up to you
This shape
Is only a passage through

Willow

Willow sleeps beneath the storm
Grandfather’s bark is old and worn
Willow’s branches swaying in the breeze
Grandfather’s losing all his leaves
Mother said that you were gone
Twenty one grams had left your bones
They drew that sheet upon your face
Our universe displaced
I don’t really wanna talk about it
No not now
All I ever do is think about it
And how it all came crashing down
Yeah I know it isn’t fair
The rug was ripped from under all of our feet
Yeah I know it isn’t fair
The worst is over, It has to be
I won’t forget the way that your face looked
Your mouth was open wide
Nothing behind your eyes
I’ve been selfishly been hanging on to you
If you see the door
It’s okay, just go
Let go
I don’t really wanna talk about it
No not now
All I ever do is think about it
And how it all came crashing down
I know I need to talk about it
No, not now
I relive it every time I do
And see it all come crashing down

Your Garden
03:20

How long’s it been?
Since we had balance
Didn’t have to pretend
How long’s it been?
Since we last talked
Without a pretense of dread
You’re missing a heartbeat
Mine’s on the floor
Laid at the edge of your bed
The distance between us
Locked in a box
Laid down forever to rest
How long’s it been
Since we had a moment
To take all this in
Right here on this hill
In front of your garden
With some time to kill
I just need a moment
To freak the fuck out
Scream at the top of my lungs
It just comes out silent
A whimper at best
Roaring inside of my head

Twenty One Grams
06:34
|

Growing tall
With the Rain dripping off your branches
Unafraid of the thunder
And the wreckage
Willow
Little love
There is no rest here
Just a hell of a climb
Towering over
Your little eyes
There is no rest here
Just a hell of a climb
Tunnel straight through it
I don’t know what we leave
But a moment in time
Twenty one grams of this feeling
Tugging at the back of your mind
All of this grief
Only a moment in time
Twenty one grams of this feeling
Leaving a trail through these woods to guide
Twenty one grams of this feeling
Carry us to that great divide

Redwing blackbird
Cattail harbor
I wanna be where you are
Willow’s crying
Westward lightning
I wanna be where you are
I remember the moment
The defeat set in
You fell up the stairs
And we wept like little kids
Redwing blackbird
Tree line pasture
I wanna know where you are
Willow’s growing
Time keeps rolling
I wanna know where you are
I remember the moment
How quick it hit
You’ve gotta come home
‘Cause It ain’t like it was
I wanna know where you are
