Trail of Pain 03:09
lyrics
buy track
I could crush my heart with expectation It's just easier to focus on yours I'm made of mirrors Substituting compassion for pure reflection and closing doors Force of habit and self-interest I lose track of you in an instant Lack of care is a moment But the trail of pain persists I could try to love as myself But that would require work and committment You hold your breath so expectantly Turning blue as you wait for me Force of habit and self-interest I lose track of you in an instant Lack of care is a moment But the trail of pain persists I could crush my heart with expectation It's just easier to focus on yours I'm made of mirrors Substituting compassion for pure reflection and closing doors

Broken 02:56
lyrics

It's dark by six take us home early The moment and meaning has surely been missed At our thickest we can't even guess Pile on potatoes try to enjoy this mess Dumb tired All of a sudden it's 3a.m. Dumb tired Mouth breathing to gain oxygen Back on our feet again time has slipped Slumber gives way to a dawning Memory aches, competes, without complaint Hands full of charcoal and mud are drawing Thorns and briars Conceived desires LIke barbed wire catching our cuffs and sleeves It was fun while it lasted Our answer if anyone comes asking Oh, it was fun while it lasted Mark my words I'm not joking Swallow another drink without choking Try to hide just how broken Not hiding at all that I'm broken

Tender Missive 03:14
lyrics

As I write this you are sleeping, you are dreaming There are promises to yourself you are keeping in a realm of hope Where magic still exists Secures the smile upon your lips All I can do is watch and admire With a fresh flash of desire Inside my heart Inside my heart Your peaceful breathing Serene calm receiving graceful weaving Let me count the ways Let me count the ways You capture me Enrapture me This is but one

Hound 03:47
lyrics

Where are you going at such a brisk pace I see you there with your competent gate A fresh smell and a wind reddened face You keep moving forward with savvy and grace You let me know when we arrive Can we tell by the length of shadows Or the passing of clouds in the sky Will there be resting point after this race How will I recognize we've reached the end For my lack of trust and vision I 'pologize with haste Trying to match the speed we keep to fill the silent space You let me know when we arrive Can we tell by the length of shadows Or the passing of clouds in the sky Can I keep hounding you for the how and why Can I keep hounding you for the how and why - hi-ee-hi (woo-hoo-hoo-ooh hoo)

You Wanted To 02:41
lyrics
buy track
In darkest night/ you confide your secrets In close confidence you/ express your regrets By shadows light/ sleep whispers may forget Suggested recompense you/ hedge your bets My love, my pet, my heart, my dear My love, my pet, my heart, my dear You would be faithful if you wanted to You would be so true You would be faithful if you wanted to You would be so true But I can't, I won't be a party to this I can't, I won't be a party to this You did what you wanted to You did what you wanted to You did what you wanted
