Grizzly Maze

I went without the answers
Because the skies knew
And in the wilderness
My madness grew
I loved the creature
It didn't love me back
I sunk my soul into this land
And it rejected that
I am an intruder
But my intent is pure
Brought my baggage with me
But I swear I'll never make it yours
Still my spirit runs
Leaving ghosts in its wake
This is a land of freedom
Deep forest, stream, and lakes
I came this far
And I lost
I came this far
And I lost
I came this far
And I lost
Lost in grizzly maze
Lost in grizzly maze

Drought
04:00
|

Tilling fields forever
Soil's all but salt
Crops all slowly wither
Never ending drought
Barren dusty homestead
Winter drawing near
We harvest naught but dread
The end becoming clear.
I always keep my eyes peeled for her
Wish lady luck would come on sooner
No, I never should have come
Now it's too late to run
I always keep my eyes peeled for her
Wish lady luck would come on sooner
At night I hear the locusts
Constant cacophonic drone
Barbed wire between the posts rustin'
Grim stillness surrounds my home
Mountains carve the horizon
They cast looming shadows
Their peaks are all frozen
And none of my rivers flow
I always keep my eyes peeled for her
Wish lady luck would come on sooner
No, I never should have come
Now it's too late to run
I always keep my eyes peeled for her
Wish lady luck would come on sooner
No, I never should have come
Now it's too late to run
Too late to run
Too late to run
Too late to run
Too late to run
Too late to run
Too late to run

"Did you feel a spiritual presence at the Lake Shawnee Burial Ground?"
"No I did not. I didn't find it too exciting."
"You know, they say it's one of the most haunted places in America, they say thousands of Native Americans are buried out there and haunt the land, what do you think about that?"
"It was a different experience, just something to do."
"Yeah, I don't think that I personally witnessed any spiritual entities. I didn't feel a presence of any spiritual forces. How about you?"
"Uh, same thing."
"And you're pretty superstitious aren't you?"
"Not really."
"You're not really superstitious? I thought you were pretty freaked out by ghosts and hauntings and stuff."
"No."
"Okay, well do you have anything else to add?"
"That's about it."
"That's about it?"
"Take a ride to Tamarack and see if it's exciting."
"See if it's more exciting than Lake Shawnee?"
"Go back when the weather's better."
"Right."

Tried my damndest,
Thought I'd planned it
But it don't matter
It just ain't coming together
And I should quit anyway.

Yeah...
Old memories flow to me
Sometimes they even speak
I count my mistakes
Life's what you make
I caught hell for all the blood I saved.

I am aware
Nobody cares
I should rest easy
But this barren land
Beckons the man
Who's lost and crazy

Cradle

Stained flower print sofa
That you sit on beneath a hazy window
Dirty walls surround ya
And you pose with your child
Beehive hairdo
Slightly out of style
But you know it suits you
Then a flash fills the room
Now he's cradled in your arms forever
I wonder if he knows who he's replacing?
I could be out of line, please forgive me
But, if I may, why are your eyes so goddamn sad?
I wish I could ask you
How you landed in this weird scene
Lord knows I ain't one to judge
But I can tell you've been crying
We could step out of that room
I mean only if you want to
I don't want you left stranded
In some dusty old picture frame

Marooned
03:09
|

They say that there's something about the mountains,
They say that there's something about the sea.
I'm sitting here on an island
Writing letters that no one will read
I pick up the shells and I hold them
The pretty ones I sometimes find
Things used to live inside them
Things that used to be mind
I used to walk for miles
Barefoot on the sandy beach
I used to dream of brighter shores
But now I never want to leave
At night the wind, she sings to me
I always listen to what she's got to say
Her voice carries over me
At the end of every day.
Amber globe on rolling wave
I see a faint flash of green
Fair land that I left
I try to think of what it means
Put my message in a bottle
Tell tales of the life I've made
Seal it with a kiss and a cork
The ink's already bled across the page
I used to walk for miles
Barefoot on the sandy beach
I used to dream of brighter shores
But now I never want to leave
At night the wind, she sings to me
I always listen to what she's got to say
Her voice carries over me
At the end of every day.

Twisted Oak

Twisted, hollow, broken oak
Up on the mountain I heard 'em choke
Twisted, hollow, broken oak
Up on the mountain I heard 'em choke
In the pale moonlight
In the dead of night
The ghosts do rise
And long for life
Twisted, hollow, broken oak
Up on the mountain I heard 'em choke
Twisted, hollow, broken oak
Up on the mountain I heard 'em choke

Rainbow

Tough guy pulled a gun down at the rally today
Shut down half of the god damn city
Sent people screaming,
Terror strikes in peaceful times
Devil only knows what goes on in peoples' minds
Some cloud swallowed up our rainbow,
And my girl's crying, and I'm saying we got to go
Some cloud swallowed up our rainbow,
And my girl's crying, and I'm saying we got to go
I saw crowds running like Dawn of the Dead
Sort of saw this coming, last night laying in bed
Lucky I know a place safe down the road
But it turns out it shut down a long time ago.
Some cloud swallowed up our rainbow,
And my girl's crying, and I'm saying we got to go
Some cloud swallowed up our rainbow,
And my girl's crying, and I'm saying we got to go
Sirens and lights, today was supposed to be nice...
Get out of town!

Wishing Well

"It's like you have all these people around you telling you the same thing -- But you wont believe it. You can't live your life like that, ignoring reality. But anyway, I'm here now. And if I had any advice..."
You threw your stones down the well
Watched the lonely ripples
Now what's left in your hand...
But dirt and blood from the brambles?
Every cloud has a silver lining
Some of them you just can't see
But go home, don't cast your stones
And leave yourself still wishing
Today was a waste but tomorrow shines
Today was a waste but tomorrow shines
Today was a waste but tomorrow shines
Today was a waste but tomorrow shines
"There was a sparkle of hope, for he had seen starlight through the fog, and he rowed forward grasping his oar with calloused hands. The oil lantern that dangled over the bow illuminated the deep water beneath him. Below the surface, he saw a great fish meandering in wide circles around his vessel. The current was in his favor. Swiftly now, he carved through the water. The long journey drawing to a close."
This rain will wash away
The frozen snow in the valley
Now what's left in your head?
But thoughts of spring steadily dawning
Sometimes we think too much
It makes things hard to see
You'll feel your way out of this one
And never go blindly
Today was a waste but tomorrow shines
Today was a waste but tomorrow shines
Today was a waste but tomorrow shines
Today was a waste but tomorrow shines
Today was a waste but tomorrow shines
Today was a waste but tomorrow shines
Today was a waste but tomorrow shines
Today was a waste but tomorrow shines
