Land Across The Sea

My baby, my baby went over the sea
Oh, why cant you bring back my baby to me?
We were warm with each other in the chilled air of night
We used to hold on to each other until the sun touched the sky
Until she started waking up, said "Ive been having these dreams.
That I'm gone far away and that I'm watching you grieve."
I told her "Don't worry baby. I'm here til' death do us part.
You know our souls and our bodies are attached at the heart."
My baby, my baby went over the sea
Oh, why can't you bring back my baby to me?
She changed, yeah, she changed
and the thoughts drove her wild
When I held her through darkness I'd have to hold her like a child
Instead of watching the sunrise
She'd walk alone to the beach
and she'd scream and she'd cry for the land across the sea
My baby, My baby how could you do this to me?
You gave all of my love to the land across the sea
and the last thing she told me as she kissed me goodbye
"I could kiss you forever and watch the heart in your eyes.
You showed me life and it's beauty but if I dont do this
for me...
I will never feel whole and you will never be free."
She put one foot into the water
and then she was far passed the tide
She put one arm in front of the other
and swam with all of her might
and I watched her disappear
and I watched the sun touch the sky
Her love for the sea was how my lover did die
My baby, My baby went over the sea
My baby she told me that's where she would be

An Ache For The Distance
05:09
|

You fell like a feather
into winds of dedicated love
You looked like an angel
at home with the supernatural
Now it's the gravity that's bound me
to this chunk of world,
this sediment-ed ground
with the worms and the longing to take flight...
So now I've learned the methods
and the burdens of a choice
I made when I was torn but now I'm climbing hills and walls to get free
You've gotten so far away from me
My soul
The thing I used to be
I'm trying so hard now
Can't you see that the fires in the field of dreams are spreading?
and the memories that we built to last are dying
And there's holes in the walls of the night
from the light of the stars up in our minds
This won't be the first time that you leave for the last time
You looked like an angel
with a lean that just came so natural
Now it's the crows that have found me
Like a malicious omen or a cry from up above
Trying hard to ignore the taste of stale air in their lungs
Their eyes have seen the fires in the field of dreams that are spreading
and the memories that we built to last are dying
and those holes in the walls of our minds
from the light of the stars up in the night
You fell like a feather
into winds of dedicated love
You looked like an angel
You looked like an angel...

Looking Down The Barrel
03:26
|

If every form of question
came from the tip of a burning gun
Would these eyes be caught misleading
In the wake of the rising sun?
Would you hold my hand inside of this coffin?
Would you see my soul to bed
If every form of question
Were made of burning lead?
Ive seen the worn out path before me
Filled with bottles and reapers and fools
She follows me by example
and leads now by the rules
She's six feet tall and filled with alcohol
Her words are merely for show
when the morning comes with the blazing sun
Then it's time I better go
Instead of eating the words
you've been shooting
Just let them fall from the tip of the tongue
and forget every time that you're looking
down the barrel of a gun

Resentful
03:01
|

There's some powerful people
in some scary place
They don't know how to act
or what to do
You see I care about my friends
that are scared about
Not knowing what to do
It's been years now
Should I have done something in the past
I know its wrong
Ive been selfish
I don't know how this is gonna last
You and me too
You know I love you
even though you don't know what I do
Ive been hiding
and conspiring
because I've been resentful of
the whole thing, yeah
Resentful of...
You dont know me
But I'm holding the truth in my hands

Unlucky First Times
03:08
|

It ain't my first time walking in these shoes
following you to the bar just like you asked me too
Perplexed by dumb mentality but who am I to judge?
Catching hypothermia's never looked like so much fun
If you thought getting laid was unquestionably for love
You must be doing it wrong
It ain't her first time stumbling with the blues
She went back to his cold apartment for another shot or two
"Do you want to get down and crazy?"
and then the world suddenly went dark
Hope he loves you with all of his... heart
If you thought getting laid was unquestionably for love
You must be doing it wrong
Do you want to get down and crazy?
Another line for a good time? Maybe.
After the bar you can call me baby.
A forget it all in the morning, lady.

You find me sleeping on my feet like a void,
some kind of ghostly apparition
These things are just a game to me...
So scream at me
I want you to jump all over my back
Let me know my world is nothing that you asked for
Well okay, These things are just little games that we play
When you smile I know you're choking down my words
I'm just glad my tongue truly found any
And in the morning when you vomit like a child
I think of how my life would have been better
If I had ripped my tongue clean out
Ma ma ma mama
You left some tears on my machine
Oh mama mama
You're paranoia's soggy dream
Ma ma ma mama
This bed is colder then the street
I walk down to shut away the memories
Of a girl that did the very same thing to me
What a beautiful place
this empty space
has claimed our lives to be
Ma ma ma mama
You left some tears on my machine
Oh mama mama
You're paranoia's soggy dream
Ma ma ma mama
My phone electrocutes my veins
Oh mama mama
Your love is driving me insane...

Coming Back To Life
05:47

When I go to sleep
My dreams aren't like they used to be
They're just echo's that have clouded up my mind
and the visions that appear
remind me of the light
I held inside when I was young
Its never coming back to life
Goodbye "Little Boy"...
The noise finally got to you
From a world that just melts itself away
and all of your friends are now like ghosts your breathing in
and the past is left like resin on your lungs
It's okay, You're alright
You still have time to disappear
and the words to escape
So they keep telling you
I know its all fucked up when you move from the cradle to the bottle,
and then you move into to your own apartment
and you get yourself back into the bottle
Loneliness is like a disease you never want to catch
and then you felt that everyone you wanted to reach
just pushed you two steps back from yourself
Goodbye "Little Boy"...
The wind finally got to you
From the city made of sand it blew away
and everything that stands just falls over in the end
and the past is the future, the future is today
But its okay, You're alright
Everybody's got to grow old sometime?
and the words to escape
Well, they'll get away from you
