S 31°

I was all alone, we were young, you were like wine
Heady as the fog rolling in o'er the hillside
Lovely as the song in the air as the wind blows
Opiate as the cold of the frost on the windows
Lo, the rose is gone from my eyes, so deceiving
So, my little dove, I'm afraid I am leaving
♪
Now, I am not the fool I was when I was younger
Crocodile eyes, I have seen how you hunger
Fluttering your lashes, like ashes and embers
Warm and bright as fire devouring timber
No, I cannot trust what you say when you're grieving
So, my love, I'm sorry, but still, I am leaving
♪
Even when you hunt me with ire, relentless
Batter down my door when you find me defenseless
I will not abide all your raging and reaving
I have set my mind and my will, I am leaving
-----
I have made mistakes, I continue to make them
The promises I've made, I continue to break them
And all the doubts I've faced, I continue to face them
But nothing is a waste if you learn from it
And the sun, it does not cause us to grow
It is the rain that will strengthen your soul
And it will make you whole
We have lived in fear, and our fear has betrayed us
But we will overcome the apathy that has made us
Because we are not alone in the dark with our demons
And we have made mistakes
But we've learned from them
And the sun, it does not cause us to grow
It is the rain that will strengthen your soul
And it will make you whole
And oh my heart, how can I face you now?
When we both know how badly I have let you down
And I am afraid of all that I've built
Fading away
-----
I've heard
Since I was younger
That oil and water don't mix
They're polar opposites
With a molecular rift you can't fix
But I swear with all your burnt bridges
You could leech what's caustic and find
A rudimentary lye
Some kinda miraculous bind
Oh no, I think I'm not quite ready
To let you circle the drain
All the things we've broken
Can be puzzled together again
All your sums and your pieces
Are enough to clean up
All the messes you've made
I think that you're worth keeping around
I think you're worth holding onto
♪
I've heard
If I were tougher
Then maybe I'd make it alive
I got a tender side
I'll need a harder shell to survive
But if seeing is believing
I don't know I've seen a thing grow
Without an open coat
Not without a softness showing
I know, maybe you're not quite ready
To loosen your hold
On the safety blanket
You been keeping around your shoulders
But your sums and your pieces
Are enough to make you whole
You gotta let go
♪
I think that you're worth keeping around
I think that you're worth holding onto
♪
It's gonna hurt like hell
But we're gonna be well
I'll give you my best shot

Between the seams that line your living room
A vine of ivy's pushing her way through
And as she creeps along, she sinks her roots
Into the cracks, and pulls 'em back until the structure's coming loose
And the way the shadows on the wall are cast
Look like a twisted apparition from the past
And all the memories come flooding fast
A wilderness you kinda miss
But were taught you ought to cut it back
So you shut it out
You shout it down
Until you're all white-knuckled
You got a lot to learn, if you'd settle down
Let be what is, let be what isn't
It's a natural world in which we're living
And if you let it alone, it will surely grow
Just leave it alone, child, and let it go
And when all your ziggurats have crumbled down
And every stone is thrown like seeds across the ground
A new Arcadia will come around
And multiply until the binds of death have been unwound
So don't you shut it out
Don't you shout it down
And get your feathers ruffled
You got a lot to learn, if you'd just settle down
And let the river run its course
'Cause see, the ground all around
It was always holy
Leave the ruins where they fall
Leave them all
And let the wild take over
Let be what is, let be what isn't
It's a natural world in which we're living
And if you let it alone, it will surely grow
Just leave it alone, child, and let it go
Let be what is, let be what isn't
It's a natural world in which we're living
And if you let it alone, it will surely grow
Just leave it alone, child, and let it go

Was it you 'mid the fire and the ember?
Were you there to bedevil and beguile?
See, your face wasn't quite as I remember
But I know that wicked shape to your smile
♪
So bury me as it pleases you, lover
At sea, or deep within the catacomb
But these bones never rested while living
So how can they stand to languish in repose?
He has thrown down the cavalry as gravel sinks
And as the stone founders underneath the sundered sea of red and reed
The shadow of Hades is fading
For he has cast down Leviathan, the tyrant, and the horse and rider
♪
Where is your rider?
Where is your rider?
He will hold with all of his might the armies of night
Still as boulders laid to the side 'til we pass by
He has hoisted out of the mire every child
So lift your voice with timbrel and lyre
We will abide, we will abide, we will abide

See, I was born the second child
With a spirit running wild, running free
And they saw trouble in my eyes
They were quick to recognize the devil in me
♪
See, I was born a restless child
And I could hear the world outside calling me
♪
And Heaven knows how hard I tried
But the devil whispered lies I believed
♪
Can you hear it hanging on the wind?
Can you feel it underneath your skin?
You've got to go on, further than you've ever gone
You've got to run far from all you've ever known
You've got to go on, further than you've ever gone
You've got to run far from all you've ever known
You've got to run far from all you've ever known
You've got to run far from all you've ever known

Like carillon bells, the house of Augustus rings
With the echoing hymn of my fellow passerine, they took to it
Like a fox to a burrow, like an eagle to an aerie
And goodness, it's getting hard to even hum a single thing
You were the song that I'd always sing
You were the light that the fire would bring
But I can't shake this feeling that I was only
Pushing the spear into your side again
♪
See, my birds of a kind, they more and more are looking like
Centurions than any little messiah
And as I prune my feathers like leaves from a vine
I find that we have fewer and fewer in kind, but
My palms and fingers still reek of gasoline
From throwing fuel to the fire of that Greco-Roman dream
Purifying the holy rock to melt the gilded seams
It don't bring me relief, no it don't bring me nothing that
You were the song that I'd always sing
You were the light that the fire would bring
But I can't shake this feeling that I was only
Pushing the spear into your side again
And again and again
♪
When he comes a knocking at my door
What am I to do, What am I to do, oh lord
When the cold wind rolls in form the north
What am I to do, What am I to do, oh lord
When he comes a knocking at my door
What am I to do, what am I to do, oh lord
When the cold wind rolls in form the north
What am I to do, what am I to do, oh lord
When he comes a knocking at my door
What am I to do, what am I to do, oh lord
When the cold wind rolls in form the north
What am I to do, what am I to do, oh lord

I was sleeping in the garden
When I saw you first
He'd put me deep,
Deep under so that he could work
And like the dawn
You broke the dark and my whole earth shook
I was sleeping in the garden
When I saw you
At last, at last
Bones of my bones and flesh of my flesh, at last
You were the brightest shade
Of sun I had ever seen
Your skin was gilded with
The gold of the richest kings
And like the dawn
You woke the world inside of me
You were the brightest shade
Of sun when I saw you
And you will surely be the death of me
But how could I have known?

-----

Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Oh, fair and flighty love
My aerolite above
The only dove I see
Could you love me more
If by the sun and moon I swore
That I would never flee?
Well, I still taste you on my lips
Lovely bitter water
The terrible fire of old regret is honey on my tongue
And I know I shouldn't love you
I know I shouldn't love you but I do
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
I feel it in my soul
I feel the empty hole
The cup that can't be filled
And I feel it in my blood
In the fire and the flood
The beast that can't be killed
Even now you mark my steps
Lovely bitter water
All the days of our delights are poison in my veins
I know I shouldn't love you
I know
♪
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
I am not a fool entire
No, I know what is coming
You'll bury me beneath the tree I climbed
When I was a child
I know I shouldn't love you
I know I shouldn't love you, but I do

I was born at the hands of the potter
And I was torn from the start
I was torn between my god and my Father
♪
I was born at the dawn of our folly
And I was young, and stubborn to the bone
As I took from the tree that was rotting
♪
I took my chance and bit down deep
 
The weight of the world was crippling
Now I'll hide my shame with woven leaves
I was wrong
♪
And I'm so, so sorry
♪
I knew you'd never forgive me
♪
But I was wrong
And I'm so, so sorry
