Lyrics:
I’ve been waiting for sleep
Down at the gallows
I’ve been praying for peace
Out in the shadows
The pictures tossed in the fire
The memories lost, saved the wrong ones
We’ve been living a lie
In carrying on, where these souls stay hanged
I’ve been waiting for sleep
Down at the gallows
I’ve been praying for peace
Talking to shadows
Let the green grass grow over me
Over me
Out where the wind blows
Let the green grass grow over me
Over me
The pictures lost in the fire
The misery saved for the wrong ones
And we just go living our lives
In carrying stones to each new dawned sun
You ever wait so long?
Ever wait so long?
I been down, to see
Calling back to me
Ever wait so long?
Let the green grass over me
Over me
Over me
Who is left to grieve
Who is left to grieve
I’m still praying for sleep

Lyrics:
After we say goodnight
l smoke another twenty cigarettes
Before I close my eyes
If I’m up past midnight
Might have a chance to say, ‘good morning’
Right before I cut the light
When I wake up at dawn
I reach across the void, just hoping
We can share a moment’s time
And then the evening’s mine
And I can finally say ‘I love you’
Right before I say ‘goodnight’
——————
Oh why oh why
Do i even try?
——————
When I don’t wanna say goodnight
And every day without you
Feels one closer to goodbye
I just need to make this world seem right
You just sleep tight, til I’m on your side
Know you need to go to sleep
There’s comfort knowing that at least you can escape this heat
I’ll sit up and watch, this world burn bright
I’ll be alright
When you’re on my time
——————
They didn’t change the date
That’s another month to wait
Another month to try
To hold onto a lie
——————
Oh why oh why
Do I even try?
Every other girl
We’d just cut the line
——————
But I don’t wanna say goodnight
Cuz every day without you
Feels one closer to goodbye
I just need to make this world seem right
You can sleep tight, til I’m on your side
When you finally go to sleep
There’s comfort knowing that, at least
You can escape this heat
I’ll sit up and watch, this world’s on fire
But I’ll be alright
When you’re on my time
——————
When you’re on my time
When you’re on my time
You’re on my time
You’re on my time
I’ll be alright
When you’re on my time

Watch 'The Tower' here: youtu.be/WFmovmenhoU?si=z0-xwDyucQpzeXFK
It wasn’t all a scream
We packed away the dream
And pocketed the loss
In a world without
A little bit of doubt
Are we just the cost?
I couldn’t stand the rain
So I ran away
And all I found was snow
————————
Now I’m back on my own
Another winter in shadow
In shadow
Can I do it alone?
Now I’m back in my cell
Back with myself
Waiting on the phone
————————
But I will, I will keep fighting
I won’t fade away
I will face every day
As if it’s my last one
And I will keep you safe
Just like our past was
Fight for love every day
—————————
The day I went away
From everything I chose
To everything I own
Was the day I lost
It wasn’t only you
Or the springing well of youth
But the certainty of love
——————
Now I’m back on my own
Another winter in shadow
Just me and my shadow
Can I do it alone?
Now I’m back in my cell
Back in my shell
But I’m backing myself
——————
Cuz I will, I will keep fighting
I won’t fade away
I will face every day
As if it’s my last one
And I will keep you close
Just like our past was
Fight for love every day
Cuz this could be my last one
——
This could be my last one
Could be my last one
This could be my last one
So I will keep fighting
I will keep fighting
I’ll keep on fighting
And I’ll fight every day

Lyrics:
Threw a bottle
Across the water
To someone who’s thinking of me
There’s a tower
In the ocean
Pouring through me
That’s my will and testament
I, I, I am waiting on the other side, sigh
Looked out into everything and I lie
Tell myself, “it’s nothing”, when it’s quite right
Everything grows stronger in the light
When a boy who — played with razors
Met a girl who — opened cages
All the birds flew through the graveyard
And their laughter was contagious
I, I, I am watching on the other side, sighs
Looked out into every, nil and nigh
Lie, tell myself it’s darkest when it’s quite bright
Everything grows stronger in the light
In the light, In the light
Standing at the sea and swallowing
Without you, beside you
But you knew
What I knew
I, I, I am waiting on the other side, sigh
Looked out into everything and I lie
Tell myself, “it’s nothing”, when it’s quite right
Everything goes
Everything grows
I am watching, I am waiting
I am waiting, I’m not breaking
I lie, tell myself, “it’s okay”, when it’s not quite
Everything grows stronger in the light

Lyrics:
Deep in the night
You know, “I miss you more”
When I’m stuck inside
This room without you
And you’re still asleep
I’m like a prowling lion
That’s seeking — pride
When the morning finds you
I belong to you
I belong to you
When you take my hand — I understand Where you end— and that's where I began —————
Deep in the night
You know, I hear your voice
When I cut the lights
And I see you there
And you’re sound asleep
And it’s the only time when I find peace “When this ends I’ll find you”
I belong to you
It’s true
I belong to you
When you take my hand — I understand Where you end — That’s where I began And all it took
One walk with you
And I knew
That I belong to you
I belong
I belong
To you

New canopies arise
From the crumbling framework
The remnants of fire
And you came as you are
And they said,
“Heaven’s a mystery, unless you’re a star.”
“Unless you’ve a crown.”
But they’re wrong
And you can walk this head around and gone
Or we can fly
———
Who am I?
Do I deserve the sea again?
The slow lapping waves
Bathing my face in light
In the night
Long after summer winds
In the last, diving in
Finding love and a friend
In the dawn
———
The blueberries arrive
Round the purpling nettles
The ramsons' empire
And you came from the stars
And you said,
“We are the prey that we seek in the dark”
———
But who am I?
Do I deserve the sea again?
Slow lapping waves
Bathing my face in lightIn the dawn
For far and long, as I have been
The last time around
Now finding a friend
Who am I?
Why do I deserve the sea again?
After all I’ve done
And finding love in the end

Blue water
Black bible
Old river
Come quietly
Just asking
A glass of water
They don’t know me
Don’t try me
—————
Nobody gonna pick me up
I’m falling down
And I’m 5th St. bound
Now nobody wanna fill me up
I’ve fallen down
None of my friends around
—————
Seen it on the news
Looked like me and you
Did they hear me calling?
——————
Blue water
Black rider
Keep on rolling
Keep on riding
Old silver
Old Tar River
Keep running
Black water
Old river
That old Tar River
Just keeps rising
Inside me
—————
Nobody gonna pick me up
I’ve fallen down
And I’m 5th St. bound
—————
Seen it on the news
Some never seem to lose
They say, the rest are fallen
I seen it on the news
It wasn’t mine to lose
Do they hear me calling?
——————
(Heavy this leans inside me)
Keep Rising
(The river seethes)
(Parting the ground beneath me)
Keep Rising
(Just like the sea)
O Tar River
(Watching it washing over)
Tar River
(The broken reeds)
It grows inside me
(Gambling the rushing water)
Keeps on running
(Over me)
Keeps rising
(Over me)
Keeps rising
(Over me)
(Over me)
Keeps rising
Keep Rising

Perish the pain
I was impoverished
Those ties that wind
And stared into open lanes
Stared into long long nights
Howling and still
West of the Eastern Cove
Carving the wind
Dawn of your eyes
Dust off your smile
--
When you say ‘us’
You make me trust
--
I will never keep you from an open door
I know, you know
That’s how much i feel in everything you are
You know, I know
--
Hot as the day
When we sat on stones
Watching the fish, run
Under our feet, and flow
And dove from the rocks
Scraping my knees and toes
And blood, with me, rose
Slow from the sea
And you were waiting for me
Waiting for me
Waiting for me
Waiting for me
You were waiting for me
--
It’s just how much
When you say ’us’
You don’t know just how much
You make me trust
--
I will never keep you from an open door
I know, you know
That’s how much i feel in everything you are
I know, I know
I will never keep you from an open door
i know, you know
I will never keep you from just who you are
I know, I know

Lyrics:
CAVE
In parting ways
And parting hearts
A dress of leaves blows to the winds
Take these sacrificial remnants—untended
Bashed to dust
And trust distressed
Red cheeks—caved in
———
I don’t believe anymore
Don’t believe anymore
Cuz all we know, is gone and cold
I don’t believe anymore
Don’t grieve anymore
Cuz all I hold, is all I own
———
Is this a desperate wish for dying?
Or a wish that dying cease?
The fear that keeps me going and going and going
Is the same fear that brings me to my knees
———
I don’t believe anymore
Don’t believe anymore
Cuz what was gold, is gone and cold
I don’t believe anymore
I won’t grieve anymore
Cuz all we are, is bled and gone
———
I am the air, the after
Always in the clouds
Searching for some answer
Parted now, I am the shore—repeated
Becoming air
I’m finally free
———
I don’t believe anymore
Don’t believe anymore
What I can’t see, can’t hold to me
I don’t believe anymore
I won’t grieve anymore
Cuz what was gold, is gone and cold
I don’t believe anymore
Don’t believe anymore
Cuz what was gold, is gone and cold
I don’t believe anymore
Don’t believe anymore
I won’t grieve anymore
Won’t grieve anymore
For you
