Meddle 04:36
I feel like I am floating away Fading across your back It's miles out of my head but I'm alright now I let it go, I breathed it out And it felt like gold, molten in my throat The day the bluff gave 'way eroded all I wrote Once upon the sands buried by my hands Will not see them again And I ain't never one to meddle, no I never get into the middle of it And now it's heavier than metal You're leaning on my levers Putting pressure on my pedals 'til it goes and I fold I oughta let it go, I oughta let it go And it felt like ghosts And echoed down the hall I was breathing in your dust when the rain began to fall It was rolling on my skin, rapping on the tin Telling me everything

Tides 03:48
Breaze off the bluff Seas been gettin' pretty rough Come within my reach Your touch only retreats And each time it takes a bit more out of me Each time it takes a bit more out of me Nothing but blue for miles Sirens and St. Elmo's fire Oh, the undertow How it erodes you so And you'll let it have all that's left of you You let it have all that's left of you When that tide rolls in let it wash over this continent Be unstoppable and unforetold When it all ends its gonna start again All the miles we walked have not been seen in years All the miles we walked have not been seen in years As a desert here I lay Smiling in the sun all day There's a man up in the moon He's comin' home real soon And I don't know what he's gonn' make of me I don't know what that man's gonn' make of me When that tide rolls in let it wash over this continent Be unstoppable and unforetold When it all ends its gonna start again All the miles we walked have not been seen in years All the miles we walked have not been seen in years

You've been waitin' for something I couldn't really be sure Tryin'a find a place to live Making sure that everything fits just right I don't wanna make a name Get off my ass and take the reins Mamma said it would be good for me Moving on to something new Your friends running ahead of you They're trimming their suits and cutting their ties More of kin and less of kind I can't leave you Burn the witch oh so old Burn the winter and the cold Take the stake a tie her down Don't let my people leave this town Home, home, home is where I wanna be I don't know what it's not easy to tell you The reason why I have to stay Ask the witch she knows it well She wrote the words inside my name Burn the witch oh so old Burn the winter and the cold Take the stake a tie her down Don't let my people leave this town Home, home, home is where I wanna be

Indigo Silk 05:20
Pile on the coals Keep your eyes peeled, uncertainties before us That wild something inside that tries to feel throughout the night Until you know you'll take care what you become Grease upon old Jacob's Ladder rungs It's hard to hold, those calloused hands reach out for kingdom come All idle devils split their bitter tongues Bed of decadence You lay me down in smooth indigo silks You draw the line that caged me in Roll up those sleeves let's see the dirt under those nails So now you know you take care of what you become Grease upon old Jacob's Ladder rung It's hard to hold, those calloused hands reach out for kingdom come All idle devils split their bitter tongues And a light will come to shine To show you nothing here was cast in black and white So, hold on, it's a long way down Hold your head, we spin 'round and 'round

The Weather 04:26
Right now I would give up a fortune And not understand why you're stepping out I guess you know that door's always open If you get back at some hour when I can't be found You'll be fine, you got a knack for coping Mama once told me it couldn't hurt to have faith But will I drown, or can I keep on floating In all the bullshit and blood that you spilt in this place Lay it on down, lay it on thick Spread it around in the wounds that I lick Say it out loud, 'til my very last breath I gave you my best, I could've cared less And I swear you won't get satisfaction Not when I give you my two goddamn sense You're on the prowl for your cheap piece of action Virgin pairs of ears who will bend to the faces you invent Can't be found, packed up and left town Boarded those windows, well prepared for the storm But hammer in hand, you'll tear it all down Burn every last bit of their homes, keep your selfish heart warm Lay it on down, lay it on thick Spread it around in the wounds that I lick Say it out loud, 'til my very last breath I gave you my best, I could've cared less Lay it on down, lay it on thick Spread it around in the wounds that I lick Say it out loud, 'til my very last breath I gave you my best, I could've cared less Say it out loud, 'til my very last breath I gave you my best, I could've cared less
