It ain’t a white light, just a black night, and a long flight to nowhere
I feel her cold claws, blood filled warm jaws, death’s the only law I still follow
It’ll be an empty dawn, when my last breath is drawn, cause there is nothing beyond this hollow earth
And I’m afraid that you’ve seen right through me for years
Or that everyone I love has loved someone else in my place
I’m afraid that everyone I know has seen right through me for years
Or that everyone I’ve ever loved has loved someone else in my place
And that by opening my mouth to speak I will break everything
I will break everything
I cut myself from the vine, figure it’s about time I quite lying to everyone I love
I’ve worked so hard for years, held off my mother’s tears, all of her worst fears grown and multiplying
I could suspend disbelief, delay all this grief, but I’m think that faith has already dulled all my senses
Take me on the long way
Home
seventy something years of rusting
Bones
Minute after minute I wait just to
Know
If there is something past this lead and stone
And on lonesome night, after blood drawn fights, I wonder if I should really die so far from home
But then she calms me down, makes me watch the ground that I once stood on melt into the sea
Your plastic blood and fire, your whole earth’s desire to find yourself some wrathful holy end
But life is a finite thing, no angles sing, they skies won’t open up to bring you home
Only a last breath, and one last truth called death, and then return to the soil just like your father

Will I lie to my son, like my father lied to me
or to myself eternally
and when the guilt is too much for me to carry
will i kneel before our family tree
But I swear I won't be
made a fool of again
I have a head that spins with questions
you have some nerve to call that sin
and they say you can't be doubted
But is that just because
you don't stand up to being questioned
sometimes I feel lonely on the most crowded of streets
knowing that the skies that were once so full of love must now be empty
with no mystic fog to wrap itself around me
and everyone I see
But I swear I won't be
made a fool of again
I have a head that spins with questions
you have some nerve to call that sin
and they say you can't be doubted
But is that just because
you don't stand up to being questioned
I'm afraid I might let my fear get the best of me
I hope the years rest gracefully around me
Hope I get sober before somebody makes me
someday I want a daughter who loves me unconditionally
But I hope I tell her
never sacrifice your mind for what comes easy.
