Doin' Fine
03:25

What’s going on tonight, I need somewhere to go
Don’t wanna keep on sitting here just staring at my phone
Wanna go out for a drink, forget about this day
If I stayed in I wouldn’t fall asleep anyway
Been kinda lonely, I’ve been kinda blue
The face that I show to the world is not exactly true
The details are a bore, so we can leave the rest unsaid
Just want a little time outside my head
Doin’ fine, let’s keep this balance right
I’ll be out until daylight, don’t fuck with me, don’t fuck with me tonight
Cleaned up nice but I’m still a mess inside
I can pass as dignified so long as no one fucks with me tonight
What’s going on tonight, I need somewhere to run
I’m not so old to act as though I was never young
I wanna get out dancing and forget about this day
If I stayed in I wouldn’t fall asleep anyway
Doin’ fine, let’s keep this balance right
I’ll be out until daylight, don’t fuck with me, don’t fuck with me tonight
Cleaned up nice but I’m still a mess inside
I can pass as dignified so long as no one fucks with me tonight
Doin’ fine, let’s keep this balance right
I’ll be out until daylight, don’t fuck with me, don’t fuck with me tonight
Cleaned up nice but I’m still a mess inside
I can pass as dignified so long as no one fucks with me tonight
Don’t fuck with me tonight

Two Card Reading

Hone the edge of your sword
Before the black clouds blot out the light
Gaze up at the darkness like a roiling sea
Anticipate the lightning strike
We’re gonna take back the tower
It’s gonna happen tonight
When the king drops screaming from the battlement
That’s how you’ll know that it’s time
The storm has almost begun
Our time has almost come
Throw your coins in the river
At last the old curse will come undone
It’s time to bring back the scythe
Ancient ways are reborn young
Raise your cup to the tower
And the writhing dark obscuring the sun
We’ll see a flood of royal blood
Before this day is done
The storm has almost begun
Our time has almost come
The storm has almost begun
Our time has almost come

Crawl Back To The Light
03:52
|
|||
|
Out from crevices the demons crawl forth to speak
To howl at us their ancient curses
Their shrieks and wails haunting between craggy peaks
Twisted figures revel in their monstrous verses
Don’t forsake the place from which tonight
The dead names plummet from the shadowed heights
Don’t surrender tonight
This spire that pierces through to reach up to the moonlight
When hateful gods stretch their claws out to snare you
May your names survive
Crawl back to the light through the darkest of caverns and
Make your name survive
From dusty tombs beneath the hallowed moon
Whispering voices of cadaverous names
Echo through the walls of those sepulchral halls
Begging to believe their deaths weren’t in vain
When hateful gods stretch their claws out to snare you
May your names survive
Face the avalanche that rushes downhill to bury you and
Make your name survive
When hateful gods stretch their claws out to snare you
May your names survive
Crawl back to the light through the darkest of caverns and
Make your name survive
When hateful gods stretch their claws out to snare you
May your names survive
Face the avalanche that rushes downhill to bury you and
Make your name survive

Like the flicker of warm firelight in fall
Like a long walk that doesn’t have to go anywhere at all
Like the feeling of warm blankets in the cold
Like the idea of waking up and feeling bold
Like the idea of fancy goat cheese
Or unexpected dessert, like bourbon and ice cream
Or how Turkish Delight always sounded so great in the Chronicles of Narnia
I didn’t know before - how could I know before
I didn’t know that that’s how being with you
Would feel
Like looking forward to a party with all our friends
When in reality you and I will just talk to each other the whole time anyway
That’s what we always do anyway
Like living in a magic fairy land
Like feeling more alive than I can stand
Like I’m a damn wizard on a mountaintop
Ohh
I didn’t know before - how could I know before
I didn’t know that that’s how being with you
Would feel
Like the notion of a serpent filling the entire Ohio bank to bank
Mysterious and wild and rearing its head to bless us both
Like the idea of taking you up into the moon
Catch me up and kiss me
Take me out of the city
Maybe we’ll keep talking about books and music and fantasy
Maybe we’ll talk about those things forever
I didn’t know before - how could I know before
I didn’t know
how could either of us know
I didn’t know before - how could I know before
I didn’t know that that’s how being with you
Would feel
And here I thought that you knew everything
And I guess I thought that I knew everything
Maybe we’ll laugh about this
Forever

A Little Like Me
03:48
|
|||
|
Crowded room, you look at me
Smile, roll your eyes, do these people even breathe?
No space between their words, all things we’ve heard a thousand times before
I’m invisible in their company
And I’m counting all the years gone by
Since I was told by older folks some day I’d fit in fine
Maybe you’re a little like me
I ain’t, I can’t be
I ain’t what I seem
Sneak away, just you and me
Outside in the open air where we have room to breathe
I feel like such a project
But I haven’t lost you yet
And I think you understand just what I mean
All night we’ve been waiting just to speak
If you’re someone I can trust I might be someone you can keep
Maybe you’re a little like me
I ain’t, I can’t be
I ain’t what I seem
And I’m counting all the years gone by
Since I was told by older folks some day I’d fit in fine
Maybe you’re a little like me
I ain’t, I can’t be
I ain’t what I seem
I think that you might know what I mean
Maybe you’re a little like me
Ain’t what I seem

Over The Rooftops We Go
03:50
|
|||
|
Have you stared into the mirror, wondering and not wanting to know
Find that outfit, deep in your closet, the one you hid a long time ago
We can dress up like heroes, to beguile our foes
Not certain what we’re looking for and it’s over the rooftops we go
Will you come with me? It isn’t always safe
It’s something that I need to see through
I want you with me, I wanna find some answers with you
Up here we can closely watch the dying stars explode
Maybe I was one of them a lifetime ago
Hotter now than lightning, colder now than snow
The process isn’t easy, but that’s the way it goes
Will you come with me? I’m scared to go alone
Might have a nervous breakdown soon
I want you with me, I’d rather have a breakdown with you
We can dress up like heroes, to beguile our foes
Not certain what we’re looking for and it’s over the rooftops we go
Will you come with me? It isn’t always safe
It’s something that I need to see through
I want you with me, I wanna find some answers with you

Why Are You So Far Away
02:38
|
|||
|
The streets are silent, save for a gentle rain
Wherever everybody is is where they will remain
Everything is one long delay
My love will come some day, my love will come some day
Ruled by our longing, we live in its domain
My love will come someday
I sit here silent, forget to take a breath
Think of all I need to do from now until my death
Why are you so far, far away?
My love will come some day, my love will come some day
Time may not exist but it’s still a price we pay
My love will come some day
My love will come some day
Why are you so far away?
My love will come some day
Time may not exist but it’s still a price we pay
My love will come some day

Peace With The Devil
03:02
|

Plunge low enough into the dark
Come back around in the night sky
Creatures that float between the stars
Show their forms at this depth of the dive
Do you think that you’ve had enough?
Survive a fall from such a height
Make your peace with the devil above
Make your peace with the devil tonight
The highest peaks, the shadowed lows
Through fissures in the oldest stones
The well from which the ocean flows
What you seek the devil knows
We’re sinking still into the ink
To see at last the hallowed light
The deep rasping screams of unseen things
Speak their names at this depth of the dive
Make your peace with the devil above
Make your peace with the devil tonight
Make your peace with the devil above
Make your peace with devil tonight

October
05:44

I fall out of a fervid dream, gasping as I wake
The visions churning in my mind slowly drift away
But the feeling lingers here inside my chest, it slithers through my veins
Sometimes I wish the mornings wouldn’t start in such a way
I scrape the rust off of my joints, more there every day
I don’t need the sun to be so bright, but I don’t get a say
Give me a cool October evening and a drink to burn my throat
Let the music rumble low
Let me catch a little glimpse tonight, a glimpse of what’s unknown
I hear primeval secrets whispered in my dreams
I know that certain truths have been concealed from history
But the secrets in the songs of morning birds - I don’t know what they mean
Give me a cool October evening, serve the bourbon neat
Let me breathe the night air deep
Let me close my eyes and catch a glimpse, a glimpse of what’s unseen
I stood upon a precipice over hell’s own lake
But when the morning sun approached, the view began to fade
Someday I’ll get back there to explore every crag, every cave
The leeches will keep biting until all your blood is drained
And the giants grind your bones down until only dust remains
Well if those fuckers ask for me, just tell them I’m on break
Give me a cool October evening and a drink to burn my throat
Let the music rumble low
Let me catch a little glimpse tonight, a glimpse of what’s unknown
Let me catch a little glimpse tonight, a glimpse of what’s unknown
