Torn apart and dressing like it`s over
Nauseous when you`re sober, with eyes that try to meet the night
You`re such a precious little soul and when it`s dark out
You don’t come around for days
I can`t stand it
Through the streets with the calvary band
When you were pissing against the wind
I was pissing in the sand
I thank the lord for running through my head
Yeah, it never felt this good to be right
You talk just like a kid and move so perfectly free
While I walk just like a stranger in search of heavenly light
Get the medicine and put it on my tab
A little nightlife never seemed to hurt no one
Be the mass of creation, don`t be an ass in a nation
Where they all die a little every day
I wouldn`t think too much about their ugliness
Just leave whatever behind and know
That we`ve found it

working through the verses just in time for christmas
riverbank froze over, and the city has been left to itself
feeling so sick, after our run of elevation
yeah, i`ve been wondering is it all coming to an end?
Night sky coming down with hesitation
yeah, if theres one thing I know, it`s that we`re on our way home
Well there`s a sunrise, but it doesn`t show outside
If I`m the person i`m becoming, could i count it as myself
There`s a movement, but i don`t feel it in the waters
Swimming cross every sea, we`ve got reasons to move on
Night sky coming down with hesitation
yeah, if there`s one thing I know, it`s that we`re on our way home
Night sky coming down with hesitation
yeah, if there`s one thing I know, it`s that we`re all going home

What if I said, I can make a bad dream go away
What if I did, then they`d all be calling with their directions
Yeah, here it comes, the best chance we`ll ever know
Yeah, we`ve been walking on the same road for so long (So long)
Riding away from all the glassy eyed schemers and thieves
Yeah, I`m just a wave, seen in a flash on a stormy day
I know we`ll make it somehow
You don`t have to be afraid now
I`m just a shadow
crawling with beasts
Bones have grown tired
But I can`t find sleep
I`d like to love you, but i don`t know how
every time i`m coming up, you`re coming down from your high

Move through love`s true connection
and in the days to come
eat like rats, be movable drinkers
find a way to be free
Behind my eyes, there`s a clock that`s ticking
keeping score of the emptiness
and if i close my eyes, it moves a little faster
but some things aren`t meant to be said
Never been here before
never been this far from home
never been this close before
and I see it now
yeah, I see you now
Was up on the mountain, spent some time in the sky
Couldn`t get rid of my hatred and decadence
so I set it all on fire

I won`t go to bed until it`s dark outside
I won`t strike a chord until the band has arrived
I won`t sing my song until the day has grown quiet
and the next time you drop by
I`m not sure sure I`ll be around
Yeah, there`s a fire rising, proud and tall
burning through the night
There`s a song so sad and lonely
left me stoned and smiling
I won`t drag my feet behind me when i walk home anymore
I won`t let you disappear, or talk you down
Yeah, it reads just like a calling, sounds just like an end
I won`t be an echo, or a void to fill with dirt
Yeah, there`s a fire rising, proud and tall
burning through the night
There`s a song so sad and lonely
we`re gonna make it somehow

Out on the street, on my own
Could you save the dying
as they fall down from every tree
tired of themselves
Full of light, on my own
can you see the day
as it lies there, lifeless and cold
drowning in itself
Light is a terrible thing
cut down by the sunlight
like a dog out in the snow
but I`ll find it
Things only move one way
where i was i don`t remember
where i am i don`t know
just passing through the times
Out in the cold, by myself
have you seen the dying
as they lie there on every street
tired of themselves
Half-assed throws, goldleaf on their crucifix
but they can`t see the day
and the sun has left the sky
left us to ourselves

It`s good to be clean, and out in the open
and sleep under the midnight sky
follow me now, the day has grown cold,
just wheeling through the land
Sit by a river and drink it all up
feeling so good, we`ll never need another one
Don`t need nothin, but we can`t go on
Cos theres nowhere left to go
A tired old drum let`s out a song in the quiet night
makes you feel less alone, when there`s no one around at all
And every little bit of darkness, buried under the sand, won`t come back to haunt us
The good times have come
And I`ll be around if you can`t come down
Don`t need nothin, but we can`t go on
Cos theres nowhere left to go
If it doesn`t feel like home
then why go there at all

Fell asleep on the borderline
Wasn`t much to see
Fell asleep on the borderline
And it opened up to me like a dream
Said a prayer for the first time in my life
And it`s plain to see
If you care for anyone
Yeah, you`d pray for me
But you look restless, and like you`ve got one foot in the grave
And that`s no way to live
Before you fall asleep you cry out just like a little kid
And that`s no way to be
Said a prayer for the first time in my life
And it`s plain to see
If I care for anyone
Yeah, then I`d pray for thee

Waiting for a ship on a morning left alone
With our arms out, pissing straight into the ocean
And the days unfolded like a dream
Then spent in wild abandon
It`s been coming to me every night
As a cross upon the burning sky
And in an empty room, on a wooden floor
we spent the night awake
When morning light abandoned us
We acted spiteful and unpure
But the words that we were singing
Lighted up the night
Money is the value of nothing
Cos we`ve got just what we need
There`s an ending we`re all heading to
It`s a dream about a home away from home
And if you close your eyes and sit violently still
You`ll hear a drum out in the distance
And a song so loud
Kept me awake for years
Sung by a voice that I remember
From our first morning here on earth

Are you going to that heavenly country
when the wildflowers spring in bloom
i am going to that same place
we could drink until after hours
and leave when morning comes
i am going to that same place
as the ship leaves the port
throw our shit overboard
nothing will ever be the same
i am going to that same place
so sick of this street
so sick of this feeling
just wanna go to see that morning so bold and strange
i am going to that same place
