The Loves I've Burned

I don't know if I should or shouldn't
Keep living these violent ways
Or start on a hero's journey
So I'm hanging out on the fence
There's a moment of indecision
When I feel the night begin to turn
Every look has a million meanings
Every touch is a bridge to burn
Oh love is a crushing bore
I've been feeling it more and more
I keep wading out in the river
To a current where I cannot swim
So I grab on to branches
And wait to wash away the sin
But I can't hold on too much longer
I'll be dead before the day is through
Carried out to the ocean
With a heart broken for you
Oh love is a crushing bore
I keep feeling it more and more
Like a dog laying on the stairs
A few years from now you won't be there
Just a body sitting in a grave
Oh the love I've buried in my day

Wolf Spiders

Oh god I'm feeling so old
If you look in my eyes you can see my soul
There's a house where trees and gardens grow
Where a lightning bolt struck the tallest oak
Oh my god I'm in the leaves
Where wolf spiders haunt me in my dreams
I'm a good man honestly
But I've made more mistakes than you'd believe
I'm only human I'm bones and meat
I let the devil inside of me
I bite my tongue with bloody teeth
And wait for time to come for me
Our machines are haunting my dreams
Come on let's move to the snow
Where the winter wind cuts to the bone
I'll cut some lumber and burn our clothes
And wait for spring to thaw my soul
There's a house in the woods on the mountainside
Where another one lives and another one dies
Oh my god it's happened again
I'm in love with the dreams of the past in my head

Songs: Ohia

Life is good I'm happy today
Won't die in six years' time like Songs: Ohia
I'm from Amherst, Ohio, near Lorain
We spent time at the same strip malls and the same lake
Funny how you never meant a thing to me
But now that you're gone I can see the similarities
You were living the life I was dying to live
But now you're dead and I'm alive and I don't know who got the best of it
Want to write a song about the steel mills
But I carried straight As and never got the time of day from girls
So many years with no strength of mind
But every day I grow stronger it's a good time to stay alive
When I go back there's always snow on the ground
Paw prints covered long ago by the snow plow
If I had stayed where would I be?
At the bottom of a bottle or buried by a wedding ring
Were's all alone
Under the snow
Until the moon lights up your eyes
And when at last
It comes to pass
I hope I've made all my amends
