Bury Me Beneath

Bury me beneath the sky
That fell to cover o’er the ground
Leave me there and know that I
Am lost to you and can’t be found

Inside
03:35
|
|||
I think that I would rather be inside today
So come on in and see me, it’s better that way
No stranger to confusion, goodbyes are just okay
But don’t pretend you’ll stay
‘Cause I am in a blanket and I’m warm
And the sky is always dark before the storm
And I see you coming in
With tears upon your chin
I’m frightened of the nurse who keeps a smile for me
I’m frightened of moths that fly endlessly
I’d like to be a burglar with a skeleton key
And a life to live so easily
But I am in a blanket and I’m warm
And the night is always dark before the morn
And I see you coming in
With tears upon your chin and I say
You don’t have to worry anymore
Yes I see you coming in
With years upon your skin and I say
You look like the face that beauty wore
Take my hand and hold it
Linger for a while as yours enfolds it
If I overflow
Promise that you won’t forget as you go away
I am in a blanket and I’m warm
And the sky is always dark before the storm
Yes I am in a blanket and I’m warm
And the night, oh the night is always dark before the morn
And I see you coming in and I say

Times Like This

Why don’t you summon someone else
You been on the lam and it’s a story to tell
Ahh but you were feeling and it wasn't a sin
Cajoled you when I told you I was coming in
Say bonama say bonama say bonaweh 3x
I got nobody else in times like this 2x
If someone reaches out in the city that comes by
You gotta keep 'em safe under the temporary sky
With everything that happened so far you could be like a page
Inside a book that God read at a younger age
Say bonama say bonama say bonaweh 3x
I got nobody else in times like this 2x
Oh we could never see that far
It’s hard to tell who we are
I got nobody else in times like this
I got no one else in times like this
Say bonama say bonama say bonaweh 3x
I got nobody else in times like this
I got nobody, nobody else in times like this
Nobody in times like 2x
Nobody in times, I got nobody, nobody else in times like this
I got nobody else in times like this 3x

Wanted to Tell You
03:21
|
|||
The shingles on our rooftop kept the sky from seeping in
It melted oozing over Home to pool upon the gravel ground
Thick and heavy syrup blackstrap blue fuscation dim
Descended on the earth but we were sheltered so we didn’t drown
I wanted to tell you, I wanted to tell you
But I couldn’t wake you, I couldn’t wake you
I wanted to tell you, I wanted to tell you
The soil beneath our windows may have tried but couldn’t swim
It may be screaming screams below the sky but we can’t hear a sound
So enveloped by such shrouds do planets cease to spin?
You’d not expect a wheel to turn within such viscous thickness bound
I wanted to tell you, I wanted to tell you
But I couldn’t wake you, I couldn’t wake you
But do rotations matter now that ocean’s met its twin?
All that we knew from looking up we still know when we’re looking down
Let’s raise our eyes to gaze where azure once held clouds within
To see what heavens we can see now that the world’s been turned around
I wanted to tell you, but I couldn’t wake you

Canyons (Acoustic)
03:46
|
|||
Here, although we cannot tell the fissures in the ground from greater canyons
Here, we are at home and make our peace with what's unknown
Down, into those chasms that we first explored together as companions
Down explores the light until it echoes into night
An answer will come and so many patient people wait and stare
An answer will come to all of the patient people waiting there
Gusts of water, floods of wind caress this world within a world in hiding
Gusts are all we feel, unending things are barely real
Smile as you wallow in the wonders of the place we've been residing
Smile and start to climb, there's never been a better time
An answer will come and so many patient people wait and stare
An answer will come to all of the patient people waiting there

Midnight News
03:09
|
|||
(… the rest of the way… past Peters’ Drive-In…)
I listen to the midnight news
To take my mind away from you
They talk about what might have been
I fall asleep and have a dream
Somebody turn it down, I want to know I want to know
Nobody make a sound, I want to know I want to know
If this was something we would have to worry, worry, worry
If this was something we’d have to fear
I dream of what the voices said
While I was lying in my bed
Before I turned the broadcast on
To help forget that you are gone
(let us face, without panic, the reality of our times)
Somebody turn it down, I want to know I want to know
Nobody make a sound, I want to know I want to know
If this was something we would have to worry, worry, worry
If this was something we’d have to fear
In my radio, radio, radio
There's still time to spare
I'm not ready to go, ready to go
But you're already there
Somebody turn it down, I want to know I want to know
Nobody make a sound, I want to know I want to know
If this was something we would have to worry, worry, worry
If this was something we’d have to fear
In my radio, radio, radio
There's still time to spare
I'm not ready to go, ready to go
But you're already there

To Be Reached
03:15
|

I was standing in a lonesome room and on and on it went
Nothing ever happens anyway the days have all been spent
But I brought hope for the dreams I sold you
When I told you the ways I'd hold you in your sleep
You were only trying to be reached
Now I’m standing in a crowded room and on and on it goes
Nothing ever happens anymore to anyone I know
But I caught hope for the dreams I sold you
When I told you the ways I'd hold you in my sleep
I was only trying to be reached
I was waiting for you to break it down for me
I was hoping that you would explain it all to me
I was seeking answers in everything I’d see
I was only trying, trying to be reached
When I sought hope for the dreams I sold you
When I told you the ways I’d hold you when we’d sleep
We were only trying to be reached, to be reached

Stereo
02:58
|

Sow your sinner's soul
Just toss it to the wind out of your control
Out of your control
Wind
Swallowing you whole
Out of your control
We were children then
We'd listen in our rooms to everything you sent
Again and again
Rooms
We'd keep it on a ten
Again and again, oh
I say to you oh, you know
These troubles will come and go
And life is a broken stereo
I say to you oh, you know
Bring the message down
Floating on the waves flowing all around
A signal or a sound
Waves
The message didn’t drown
Flowing all around
I say to you oh, you know
These troubles will come and go
And life is a broken stereo
Converting us all to audio
Something to sing before we go
I say to you oh, you know, oh
I say to you oh, you know

Footprints
03:22
|

Everything is soft again
It's the snow that makes it so
Quiet muffled world’s amen
Whitewashed mosses overgrow
Sheared from clouds' fleece by the cold
Careless harvest, scattered sigh
Mantle of a shivered soul
Hiding in the falling sky
And I can’t go back to where I was
No I can’t go back, baby just because
I been everywhere and off the track
So I can’t go back, baby I cannot go back
I'll leave no footprints coming home
No one will see where I have been
No dents in snow will show my path
No angels will curl up therein
For angels must have holy beds
Of sainted steps by good feet laid
So you'll not see them sleeping sound
Within the tracks I won't have made
And I can’t go back to where I was
No I can’t go back, baby just because
I been everywhere and off the track
So I can’t go back, baby I cannot go back
Oo-aa no-way no-one’s a-comin’
Oo-aa no-way no-one’s a-come

I'm off my path again
I didn't see it bend
I saw the lights and then
I fluttered off to them
I’ll try to make it right
I’ll find the way I can close this
Up like a maiden flight
Down to the bones of my motives
Oo oo, they're breaking away like violence
And when I try to defend
Oo oo, they break anyway like I've been
And now I'm calling it
There could be an answer for this
Like an equation I don’t know
Even if I just ignore this
Everything comes before it
Goes away and after it's gone
Like an angel's faith that questioned the dawn
There's a lucid dream to guide us along
Through the clear of night to where we belong
Oh oh oh oh (oo oo)
Oh oh oh oh, found my way tonight
Help comes from darkness then
Lights can't distract us when
We close our eyes to see
That every path leads to mystery
Oo oo, they're breaking away in silence
And when I try to pretend
Oo oo, they break anyway like I've been
And now I'm calling it
There could be an answer for this
Like an equation I don’t know
Even if I just ignore this
Everything comes before it
Goes away and after it's gone
Like an angel's faith that questioned the dawn
There's a lucid dream to guide us along
Through the clear of night to where we belong
Oh oh oh oh (oo oo)
Oh oh oh oh, found my way tonight
Oh oh oh oh (oo oo)
Oh oh oh oh, found my way tonight
I couldn’t find my way home by the light of day, the light of day, oh oh oh
Couldn’t find my way home but now it’s night again, it’s night again
And now I’m calling it
There could be an answer for this
Like an equation I don’t know
Even if I just ignore this
Everything comes before it
Goes away and after it's gone
Like an angel's faith that questioned the dawn
There's a lucid dream to guide us along
Through the clear of night to where we belong
Oh oh oh oh (oo oo)
Oh oh oh oh, found my way tonight
Oh oh oh oh (oo oo)
Oh oh oh oh, found my way tonight
