RIDE
I tried my luck at keeping hope alive
I tried my luck at staying whole
The voice inside me says it’s time to go
Keeps urging me to take control
So I just ride
Yeah, I just ride
I just ride
Just ride
I know my blood, I feel the power inside
I feel the future coming close
The voice inside me knows it’s time to go
Keeps urging me to take control
So I just ride
Yeah, I just ride
I just ride
Just ride
The liar feeds on my disease
The liar breathes my hurt
The liar ruins everything
Turns dreams to dirt
No meaning left in silence now
No rhythm in the dark
No sense of possibility
An empty heart
So I just ride
Yeah, I just ride
I just ride
Just ride
NOVEMBER
The table set for you now, this one last time
We lay your body gently down, and gather around
A cheap pine box, my covenant, I’ll not forget
Your hands once warm and full of love, grown cold in death
My sweet November
To you he flies
All must surrender to her
We all must die
Now Winter holds you in her thrall, the sun turns red
The cold, hard earth is calling you into her bed
How soon our precious love is spent and desolate
The ages waste in passing, erase the dead
My sweet November
To you he flies
All must surrender to her
We all must die
I miss you more with every day
I miss you more than words can say
And, hunted by the jealous grave,
My heart is empty
DUST
Crush me to dust, I am worthless, and must be despised
I suffocate slowly and surely sucked under by my own lies
Crush me like dirt, I have borne all the hurt I can take
I feel the blood slow, I am flowing away, do not keep me here…
I am filled with the fear that you’ll leave me right here
With my sickness and hollowed-out eyes
If there’s room in your heart, stop me falling apart
I am broken, I can’t find my way…
Crush me to dust, do not bear my distrust. You must go
Do not turn back my dear, for I fear I cannot let you go
No forgiveness or peace, no respite in the least,
Just the rain and the cold and the grey
No repentance, no grace in this terrible place:
But I’m going to take it away
Destiny embraces me in arms as cold as snow
Kisses me, caresses me; I think it’s time to go now…
Crush me to dust, I am worthless, and must be despised
I suffocate slowly and surely sucked under by my own lies
No forgiveness or peace, no respite in the least,
Just the rain and the cold and the grey
No repentance, no grace in this terrible place:
But I’m going to take it away
Destiny envelopes me in arms as cold as snow
Kisses me, caresses me; I think it’s time to go now…
The path I’d set, the life I’ve lead: pulled down in
undertow
I’m drowning now, soon I’ll forget. I wish it could
be now…
Forgive me…
Forgive me
DOWN
I’ve walked the road of misery, I’ve scaled a wall
of pain
My heart as empty as the sky, I long for home again
Five years elapsed since you have passed, will I be whole again?
The roses rotten on your grave, and still I feel the pain
And I am down
Down
Down
Now all the things I should have asked lie silent in the ground
Your precious memories are dust there’s nothing to be found
I wish that I could talk to you, I wish we’d had more time
The roses rotten on your grave, and still I feel it…
Wider than the ocean
Deeper than the sea
Tougher than the questions
Are the spaces in between
Do you know how much I miss you,
How I wish that you were here, but
You are gone, and I am
Down
Down
Down
Now all the things I should have asked lie silent in the ground
Your precious memories are dust, there’s nothing to be found
God damn the memories, God damn the past
God damn the prison of life, you’re better off not here
Wider than the ocean
Deeper than the sea
Tougher than the questions
Are the spaces in between
Do you know how much I miss you,
How I wish that you were here, but
You are gone, and I am
Wider than the ocean
Deeper than the sea
Tougher than the questions
Are the spaces in between
Do you know how much I miss you,
How I wish that you were here, but
You are gone, and I am down
COLD
Here at the end of summer
I watch the days draw in
The pale light so full of questions
That I cannot move on.
Three years of sinking slowly
I can’t take another day
I would give anything
To make it go away
There’s nothing worth believing anymore
There is no place we haven’t been before
The little things that matter pass away
And leave our garden fragrant with decay
It’s just empty space inside now.
Under the barren trees,
Your absence fills the silence
And your voice still haunts my dreams
I can’t find a sense of purpose
I can’t seem to get a hold
I can’t find my peace of mind
It leaves me feeling cold
So cold
So cold
So cold… |
