Above and Below

As the winds blow me west
I rest my head on cobble stone
As the sun sets in the east
I know at least I have a home
As my people go up north,
They work themselves down to the bone
I've been trying to head down south
Since the day that I was born
So just leave me alone
I dunno where to go
I dunno what's above
I dunno what's below
So just let me go
Hitched myself to the road
Well my mind is composed
Off a delicate chord
I've been running from the rapture
And my soles are ripped and worn
I stopped looking in the mirror
So I don't see my devil horns
My sweet and gentle lotus,
Dipped in dew and morning air
Took off like a horse on race day
In the morning disappeared
So just bring me down
Till my lips touch the ground
And I'm kissing the earth
Shouting we've hit the shore
Just stretch me out
Wring my lungs free of doubt
I am naked and shivering
On your bedroom floor.

Gravedigger

You put the flame out
With one hand
You held the fire in your palm
Tight and close
You took the train out
To the next town
I still haven't seen you since
That day on the road
So sing me low gravedigger
I am a shadow on a wondering fence
Play me sweet till tomorrow
You are a cannon
At my towers defense
You walk a straight line
When you get there
I'm always dancing around
The things I don't know
You kept it in plain sight
No reaction
Ive done that a couple of times
With the scars of my own
So sing me low gravedigger
I am a free form bound by gravity
Play me sweet till tomorrow
I am the outcome
Of what you left in me

All I've Done Before
03:02

Keep the door closed
Cuz I don't want no one peepin
Through my window
We can break if we need
To find escape routes
From the bedroom of bad dreams
Which we slept through
Hold the phones now
I got one minute left
Before I walk out
A hurricane of self destruction
In my past now
The fifty cents in my pocket
Says I've sold out
But the long ride home reminds me
I need something more
Than all I've done before
And all the love in the world
Would never come close to yours
Put the keys in
The motor's running fine,
No hesitation
Drive to your apartment
Let's get wasted
Help me figure out communication
Find me a new vice to store my blame in
Let me wade inside your blue oasis
Satisfy the longings in me
I need something more
Than all I've done before
And all the love in the world
Would never come close to yours

I knew a girl who told me she loved me
Tried to show me she loved me
But she got love wrong.
I know a girl, and she told me
Wherever she's with me,
She is home.
Now where do I go?
Now that she's gone.
Where do I go?
Tell me where do I go?
I knew a boy who told me he loved me
Said that he wouldn't leave
But now I'm alone
I knew a boy who looked like the real thing
Who tastes like the real thing
But now he's gone.
Now where do I go?
Now that he's gone.
Where do I go?
Tell me where do I go?

Living on the Ridge

We were living on the ridge
When we were only just kids
We thought it was fun to run and hide
Keypad on the lock
But inside the screaming won't stop
Broken bottles and ashes line the spaces
In between
Loose sheets
They go a little hard
Line up a little longer
Push a little stronger
Fall apart a little harder
We were born in the summer
But we still made it through December
When it was still all better
I hope you still remember
