Mammoth Council 03:08
lyrics
buy track
They sit there in their chairs Trying to decide what the next move will be Moving at a pace that’ll never win the race Chuggin along – slow and steady Do they compromise? Do they even try to accomplish anything? Running out of time, running out of steam And we’re thrown into the boxing ring Still, a mammoth council Dictates our everyday Lumbering through Eternity’s way Engorge themselves in power, unyielding to the masses Wrap themselves in blinded opinion Is this game of faction just promises of fiction To benefit their own dominion? They never see the danger in their quest for status Turn a blind eye to reason Vote the party line never compromise Should be equivalent to treason Still, a mammoth council Dictates our everyday Lumbering through Eternity’s way

Seamstress 04:26
lyrics

I’ve got the time, if you’ve got the time To loosen your grip, and this knot untie While you pleat emotions, day after day No more devotion – driving me away She is my seamstress Dress me up in riches Plucking out the stitches My little seamstress Sells me to the witches Plucking out the stitches When life is good, and you’re high on luck She’ll rip you apart, just to sew you back up Her steady hands – they don’t even try As they sew the seed of doubt in your mind There’s nothing left now, I’m tattered – in shreds A laceration running through my head An operation so precise and fine but I feel the stitches in that line She is my seamstress Dress me up in riches Plucking out the stitches My little seamstress Sells me to the witches Plucking out the stitches She is my seamstress Burning all my wishes Plucking out the stitches That wicked seamstress Plucking out the stitches One by one Come undone

The Mist Among the Pines 04:03
lyrics
buy track
It occurred to me that the wheel won't steer It's raining and the air's not clear May be easier to pull off to the side The windshield's fogged, my breath's to blame A wooden cross and picture frame Lay flowers on the side and waste my time You wait in comfort for someone's company As time speeds past, you're running fast They don't come to your side Ending up alone - a conclusion you'd forgone That rationale, where is it now? I guess your brain just lied You walk along the roadside now All alone and wonder how In the mist among the pines you made your stand Did the foe you thought you'd beat Really fall down in defeat? Did you cheat death or let him show his hand? You wait in comfort for someone's company As time speeds past, you're running fast They don't come to your side Ending up alone - a conclusion you'd forgone That rationale, where is it now? I guess your brain just lied Cars just pass you by when you die Life ends and you become a roadside memorial Trees they hang low, and bushes will grow Until they've swallowed The memory of you whole

Spooky House 03:17
lyrics

You’ve been sleeping, you’ve been dreaming You’ve been planning, you’ve been scheming Leaving here is liberating The fireplace is burning on its own Toss and turn in the night Something causing you a fright Temperature is growing colder Thermostat being lowered on its own And you wait there alone for it to be gone But you’re living in a spooky house The silence is swerving, but the noise is unnerving Cause you’re living in a spooky house You’ve been watching every shower drain You’ve inspected every window pane Let your guard down and you’ll be sorry Your new car has been starting on its own Take the trash out - you get locked out Nothing’s stirring – not even a mouse This presence is growing stronger You start thinking you’re no longer on your own And you wait there alone, for it to be gone But you’re living in a spooky house The silence is swerving, but the noise is unnerving Cause you’re living in a spooky house You scream for help, but no one hears When you’re alone in a spooky house The bedsheet ghosts must dry your tears When you’re trapped in a spooky house

Singularity 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Grasping for a word Searching for a phrase Hoping to be heard Hope to catch your gaze And then you turn away Writing this shit down Scrambling in the wake Waiting for a moment Look to catch a break And then it all repeats And then repeats... Well you were always born And you were always dying anyway Well I was always torn And I was always prying you away What can I say Looking in your eyes Laughing in the dark Sifting through the lies Need to find a spark And then you go that way Writing this shit down Scrambling in the wake Wanting for these things To all fall into place And then it all goes blank And then my mind goes blank... Well you were always born And you were always dying anyway Well I was always torn And I was always prying you away A prisoner of the present Always on the cusp of something great We never find tomorrow Because we all know that tomorrow comes today I like where I am but I miss where I’ve been I hate where you are and don’t know where you end I go back to my roots and dig in the dirt Then I go back to the place where it hurts You’re always there but never around I feel like I’m driving myself to the ground Nothing is ever as it was going to be And that is exactly how it’s always gonna be Somewhere I’m always waiting for you Hoping you were always looking too Well you were always born And you were always dying anyway Well I was always bored And I was always hiding me away I’ll never find you here But I need to get off my ass here anyway You’ll never find me there You need to give me one chance to say What can I say? We never find tomorrow Because we all know that tomorrow comes today What can I say?

This Side of the Grass 06:29
lyrics

We went up to the woods Where the land fell down to my home My brothers and I Pat Brown and the Bear Had blue dreams under pines Ray and myself walked up Through the fields where you and I lay Where his boy once played The snow fresh fallen Untouched by man that day The sun shining low in the western heavens We walked quiet to places we’d forgotten Darkness fell and the woods closed in Round the fence posts all warped and rotten Silence consumed us and shut out time Thoughts took hold and no words were spoken Looked on in stillness at mist and mountains Loved ones, brothers, hearts that were broken And there I sat with my thoughts and waited Mistakes and regrets and all that I hated Last I’d been you were by my side Misplaced efforts to forget I tried You came back to me in that moment In visions of your love so potent Palpable memories of your embrace Freed the silent tears upon my face Why did I try? You strengthened my walk, brightened my life Whenever you walked right by my side Yet small and vulnerable I felt before you Nothing was there from you I could hide In the silent forest, I could see clearly How I was now, the other side longing A damn fool I was for what I had done Your heart too broken, my pain prolonging So I walk in that moment, in days that follow With a heart so heavy, a heart that is hollow You learned then now to live without me How much I needed you I could now see The Bear, and Ray and Pat Brown close by Keeping upon me a very close eye This side of the grass I walk alone for now To maybe one day find you again somehow Why did I try? We walked out from the woods Where the land fell down to my home My brothers and I Pat Brown and the Bear Both smiling close by Ray and myself walked down Through the fields where you and I lay Where his boy once played The snow fresh fallen Backtracked by my brothers that day Cannot say I know What each of us thought that night there My brothers and I But my revelations I will keep in heart and mind Why did I try?

Nowhere Left To Run 06:15
lyrics
buy track
Winter time again and the snow starts falling The bell rings they leave early, grab their jackets Out the door the world is calling In the window old folks sit They can remember it So clear is their youth But the storm it doesn’t stop The neighbors keep shoveling, Making small talk, but the whiteness piles up They ask if it’s the end They try but can’t pretend To imagine that the skies will clear One by one the houses lose power The world it grows colder by the hour The radios all say the same thing – There’s nowhere left to run So I’ll stay here with you To see the night through If it’s the last thing we do When there’s nowhere left to run Now we’re sitting in darkness If the earth had a heart, It must now be heartless It’s core frozen to ice God, it must be nice To just quit and go to sleep But we can’t explain what’s happening Less than a year ago it was getting warmer, Now warmth is a pipe dream The sun has drifted away And we’ve been left to stay In a dark and frozen land All transmissions are gone Nothing’s left to turn on Only one thing’s left to see – There’s nowhere left to run. So I’ll stay here with you To see the night through If it’s the last thing we do When there’s nowhere left to run
