Nowhere Hard Enough

i put on all my armor
bid farewell to my loves
give penance at the altar
and i ride off for the war
the skies are low and cloudy
the grass is mud and clay
i'm a knight in shining armor
with a rusted iron blade
i've killed a dozen farmers
i've murdered joan of arc
i pillaged their cathedrals
to soothe my aching heart
my horse's hair is matted
caked in dust and blood
i push him even harder
but nowhere hard enough
cause i need you in the window
i need you in the snow
your wait is never ending
much like my sorrow
i've killed a dozen farmers
i've murdered joan of arc
i pillaged their cathedrals
to soothe my aching heart
i burned down all their towers
i drank up all their wine
took pleasure in their torment
so i could feel alive
sun is low on my shoulder
as we ride on to the west
only one man left to die
til i complete my quest
with your name on my breath
and my horse can finally rest

No Self Destruction
02:24
|

all your eggs are scattered wide
in tattered baskets all fit to fry
you're spinning webs and casting lines
a call for help, lord of the flies
so you bend until you break
no place to tie yourself to fate
there's a dead spider in my bed
no self destruction, no self destruction

see the mountain capped in clouds
i grab my camera and scream out loud
there's three back home all safe and sound asleep
there's a county on my shirt
two girls appear all caked in dirt
can't decide to always smile or shoot myself
ten days remind me of
the fact life's better without love
the faces fade into the scenery
back and forth the trees below
cheating death on a golden rope
the only thing on my mind

Villages
02:17
|
|

i've seen houses in my dreams
villages beneath the leaves
see now somehow you are mine
all my thoughts and all my fears
throw it all away and forget you were ever here
but i believe the ____ belongs to me
somehow you are mine

No More Pressure

i don't want a girl like me
i left them all behind back east
i want brown eyes and colored skin
i want my heart to beat within
i turn my back on where i'm from
i breathe new air into my lungs
no snow to melt our hopes and fears
no icicles to freeze our tears
one am we hear a sound
safe in bed we dream of clouds
i see in you a piece of me
or what i could have been at least
no sense at all no lesson learned
just pictures in your memory burned
you and me will never die
i swore to the ueno night

The Puzzle Border
02:41
|

this is a piece of the puzzle border
a frozen lake in minnesota
second guess everything you told her
an old motel off the beach in florida
burn your eyes with a four leaf clover
i want to be a better lover
the box you bought in the czech republic
impossible to be a mother
turn your heart into an iron
steam away the babies crying
calm as a policeman's gun
who thinks he left the safety on
believing all the things i've done
the eighteen year old me would blush
turn tail and hide in a white girl's arms
i'm not afraid of being wrong
lose yourself in other's arms
keep the ones you know best far
kill a fly til blood runs cold
raise your glasses to kyoto
utter silence on the mountain
broken by tornado sirens
leeching through the can tho shade
born to lead the dead parade

you see my silhouette on the bridge
black and breaking your fall
stubborn on how you outta live
holding on to what's wrong
she's tapping on the glass
say yes say yes say yes
you see my silhouette on the bridge
black and breaking your fall
an ocean away

Sails
03:14
|

it's been a long, long time
since you've been alive
and i can't complain
cause everything's the same
i don't care anymore
for all the plans we have in store
there's a time to forget
but not forgive, not yet
another time another place
another love another face
another time another place
and i am waiting for you to be
until the ships have sailed off safely
and i have given up
i think i'm getting old
i'm scared to be alone
all the time in the world
all my love for a girl
so i lied, you're a friend
better now than then
and i am waiting for you to be
until the ships have sailed off safely
and i have given up
