The Wolf That Ate Emily

a southern raised girl with a bandana mask
riding on a train on her way to Alaska
said she'd seen herself in the white of the snow
instead she ended up with nowhere to go
with her eyes and her pack both filled to the brim
held her nervous smile back, knew her chances were slim
she couldn't beat the word with that old pack of matches
she'd burn it all down to see how long it lasted
she went to the desert looking for land
standing on the line where the sun hits the sand
called up here friends said their best days were wasted:
"we couldn't make it pretty, we best just erase it"
parents called her up and they left her a message, said
"we've missed you more and more since the day you left us"
pale white, like the milk carton girl
"just give us back our daughter, she ran from the world"

Glowing Embers
02:51
|

don't know where, I don't know when
don't know how this all began
don't know how this will end
don't know why you seemed surprised
when I bring tears to your eyes
when I said I wanna lay down and die
so I will smoke another cigarette, lock the door
don't you know I'm fighting a war with myself
and I don't know who will win
drink some more and fight the war with myself
and I don't know how to win
don't know who I thought I'd find
when i looked deep in my own eyes
but I thought that mirror had to lie
don't know where i was that night
don't who I was trying to fight
but I was looking for some kind of life
but oh that glowing ember deep in my heart
it wasn't there--no, it wasn't there from the very start
and as a creeping chill reaches my aching bones
I feel a longing for home

Loneliest Ray
05:30
|
|||
October has come and my summer skin is shedding
it's growing backbut I still don’t feel too steady
October's come and my summer mind is slipping
I'm thinking againbut the scale just keeps on tipping towards doubt
some days some times its hard to find
like the loneliest ray of the last sunshine
night has come, the sun is low
my heart beats fast, but your heart beats slow
some days some times its hard to find
like anything like some peace of mind
like the last leaf hanging from the tree
we might be alone, but at least we're free
October has come and my summer limbs are weary
I'm done running from you, but I'm still chased by your memory
October's come and my summer sleep is gone
I'm moving past but these dreams just won't move on
October's come and my summer voice is missing
I keep moving my lips, buthese words just sound like wishing
Octobers come and mysummer eyes can't gaze
trapped beneath the sea of fallen leaves
I'm climbing through the sea
I'm rising above the sea
I'm gazing across the sea of the fallen leaves
some days some times...
we might be alone
at least we're free

Good with the Bad
04:32
|

take the good with the bad
I'll take what I have over what I had
as the fog clears away, can't relive the past
only have today
tears showing brightly in the moonlight
I let go completely, so hold on on tight
I push you away, then pull you in close
feel it creeping from my fingers down into my toes
airplane rise, airplane falls
our worlds aparts
so load me up, yeah numb my thoughts
please just stop this beating heart
clear away my broken mind
build me up for a second time
selfish thoughts please leave my head
I'm crashing back to earth
like I'm made of lead
take the good with the bad
I'll take what I have over what I had
as the fog clears away, it clears away
clears away
take me away from this place
who have I become, I longer know this face
so take me away from place
who have I become
take the good with the bad...
I'll take what I have over what I had

Forgotten Long Ago
04:25
|

last night I dreamt of the ocean bliue
and of stars and of you
through your heart, past your sleeve
sand in our toes, we danced through the ocean breeze
your life brought back songs I'd forgotten long ago
you taught me melodies that I might never know
your eyes saw through this worn out disguise
so lay with me til the morning rise steals me away from you
last night I dreamt of a mountain range
I held your hand and it felt so strange
we leapt from that cliff into the sky
I'd forgotten how to fall but I learned how to fly

Black & White
04:03
|

I've been dreaming
eveything in black and white
your face caressed by the light
I've been dreaming
those people i used to know
those places that we used to go
and you ask me
if I'm more beautiful in black and white?
have we settled for this life alright?
I've been dreamiing
of a wild and distant thing
of a world where no one shares the blame
I've been deaming
never been so far inside my head
never been so far from my bed
I wonder if you've been dreaming
everything in black and white
of my face caressed by the light
if you've been dreaming
of those words that I once spoke
if different arms, they held you when you woke
cause I've been dreaming
those words that I once said
I woke alone in this bed
Have I settled for this life?

Once Again
02:52
|
|||
old wounds don't heal when they're opened again and again
I can't be a new man, you've been complaining to your friends
but we've tried to get distance, this seems to be magnetic
well I miss you, I tell you, now you're back into my bed
here we go once again, 'round again
we're the "old friends", I see you--oh now the past is clear
our problems--my misteeps--all seem to disappear
your eye contact slowly reconnect, you're all I could see
well I love you, I tell you, we are all you can be
here we go once again, 'round again
don't know why you stayed, don't know why I left
but now I'm back again
here we go once again
