Don't Fade On Me

Tumble through the wild lands – Don’t Fade On Me
You strike lonely, with venom – Don’t Fade On Me
No one can replace, the failing tides – Don’t Fade On Me
Won’t make me forgive you this time - – Don’t Fade On Me
And if you don’t stay, you weren’t to know – Don’t Fade On Me
There’s no, easy ways to go – Don’t Fade On Me
Well you were an idle storm - Don’t Fade On Me
The tipping scales, the night it holds
PC:
Ignore, Everything I mean
It’s invisible, to you and me
C:
Don’t fade, fade on me (x3)
Well there’s no hands, no hands to shake - Don’t Fade On Me
The things we love, hostages to take - Don’t Fade On Me
Lost in the shadow, stolen in the light - Don’t Fade On Me
Broken down, you’ve got to call time - Don’t Fade On Me
PC:
Ignore, Everything I mean
It’s invisible, to you and me
C:
Don’t fade, fade on me
Rooms were empty, time slowed down - Don’t Fade On Me
A sea of privilege, held by doubts - Don’t Fade On Me
The rain fell like fire, it felt like pain - Don’t Fade On Me
Moving on, a poisoned driveway - Don’t Fade On Me
And if I rush, and if I crawl - Don’t Fade On Me
If I chose, to go through it all - Don’t Fade On Me
There’s no easy answers, when you fall - Don’t Fade On Me
No one to speak to, no one to call - Don’t Fade On Me
PC:
Ignore, Everything I mean
It’s invisible, to you and me
Ignore
Don’t fade on me
Its invisible
Don’t fade on me
Ignore everything
Don’t fade on me

You are my sea, oh, you are my sea,
endless, open, a pile of broken factories
And it’s not enough, ah, its not enough,
To keep you down, dug into the ground, not enough so you’ll never see
These random acts of war, oh, between ourselves,
That tear at our heart, and, make us, make us bleed
PC:
And I, can’t remember, if I’ve ever seen you smile
There are oceans, that cover us, in their denial
C:
And Oh, me oh my, I don’t see it any other way
There’s nothing to add, nothing to be, speak or say
And if you think, you’ll be found brand new
The ocean only has eyes for you
Eyes for you
You don’t act like, you don’t like you are kind,
How were you bred so blind, being that, I just disagree
And when you were born, oh, ahhh, when I was born,
Everything felt so new, through my eyes, all the time
We are a pile of limbs, stacked up, one by one again,
Chasing those blinking lights, no we’re not born, born to hide
PC:
And I, can’t remember, if I’ve ever seen you smile
There are oceans, that cover us, in their denial
C:
And Oh, me oh my, I don’t see it any other way
There’s nothing to add, nothing to be, speak or say
And if you think, you’ll be found brand new
The ocean only has eyes for you
Eyes for you
And I’ve got a heart, oh, I’ve got a heart,
It may not be sympathetic, or creative, or kind, but it’s the only one I own
Oh the blithe, oh, its dull, and disengaged,
Blood, and arson, you’ve locked yourself inside, you’re warn out again
And I woke up alone, so alone, inside, inside this home
And your armor, is pointless, against no one, maybe just me
You cannot change the past, no, the trajectory of the blast,
If I am calico, then you are the wind
When it’s all winding down, those judgmental eyes, of the barn owl,
Your smile, is a low tide, is just not to me
And your voice, oh your voice, is stripped bare like copper wire,
Horses gallop and canter, I no longer, wish to make you cry
PC:
And I, can’t remember, if I’ve ever seen you smile
There are oceans, that cover us, in their denial
C:
And Oh, me oh my, I don’t see it any other way
There’s nothing to add, nothing to be, speak or say
And if you think, you’ll be found brand new
The ocean only has eyes for you
Eyes for you

Willow
04:59
|
|||
There was lightning and thunder
Creeping across the valley floor
And did it wake me from my slumber
Rattling the locks on the door
Oh, oh, Ohhhhhhh
Thoughts turned into something
Laid out, just out of view
A cold call came a wanting
Something from me I couldn’t use
Oh, Oh, Ohhhh
C:
You’ve got to calm down, Or you’ll never stop
Aint no need to fight it
Its gonna drop, ppppppppp
Oh, Oh, Ohhhh
Context, is a mixture of acceptance
The willow that steals every stride
To diiiiiisappear over nothing
Would I care if it needs to fucken hide?
Oh, Oh, Ohhhh
C:
You’ve got to calm down, Or you’ll never stop
Aint no need to fight it
Its gonna drop, ppppppppp
Oh, Oh, Ohhhh
Well I’ll surely have to break
If I want To survive
News is just the time
Something happened unkind
Mixed up in the wake
Of your fading brine
Anymore
Anymoreeeeeeee
C:
You’ve got to calm down, Or you’ll never stop
Aint no need to fight it
Its gonna drop, ppppppppp
Oh, Oh, Ohhhh

Tales
07:15
|
|||
The fading tales move away
What if the sky doesn’t fall on me
What if I was greeted by a different face
Every time I’m at the door
Allow yourself to fall down
Be swallowed up when you hit the ground
I feel so alone in this town
And feel the same anywhere else
Keep the lamps trimmed and burning
We get tired of standing still
What do you do when you’re not here
What do you do when you’re not here
Well you were written off with no revision
You were written off so I was never wrong
There’s no way of knowing if it aint worth it
Can’t go back to a place I’ve already lost
C:
Well I am ready
You’re already on your way
You don’t have to explain everything
Sweeping gestures will do
Always on the way to somewhere else
Hidden behind ranges looking for you
And is there another side I have not seen
The country I knew disappeared
Lonely roads and cheap motels
Names of places you thought you never knew
C:
Well I am ready
You’re already on your way
Well I, can make
My own, mistakes
On my own…
And there’s a moment when we fade
In love and loss, and loss and love
And all the hours spoken through the night
Come fading back, fading back to you
No more clouds and no more rain
No more people to hang onto
There’s hopelessness in all the shame
And blame in everything we do
C:
Well I am ready
You’re already on your way

Long Sure Drift
03:50
|
|||
Give me a long sure drift
Give me reasons to miss you
There is after all
A line that cannot be crossed
You will never fit
In your own home you are a guest
You breathed in and you stared out
At this long sure drift
Well I spoke to the clouds
What was the alternative
A little bit busted, a little bit sad
A little bit broken down
You have wasted so much time
Forgot what you were doing
I’ve crossed borders and crept into towns
Got lost in the pit
C:
Give me a long sure drift
Give me reasons to miss you
There is after all
A line that cannot be crossed
You will never fit
In your own home you are a guest
You breathed in and you stared out
At this long sure drift
Just need to ask yourself
How will you finally fall
There were no smoke and mirrors
There was no wrecking ball
Call me whatever you want
Because I know what’s down the line
The wheels have fallen off the cart
And to fix it there’s not enough time
C:
Give me a long sure drift
Give me reasons to miss you
There is after all
A line that cannot be crossed
You will never fit
In your own home you are a guest
You breathed in and you stared out
At this long sure drift
There’s other things on your mind
Leave your pity at the door
Like how these crooked arms
Can’t hold you anymore
Your voice alone contains
All the conflict that I need
Catch a breath and simply reply
Let the silence say its peace
Well it crept along
Found a home inside my skull
I didn’t cry out for help
I just needed some rock’n’roll
Well you can do whatever you want
But you will fall and miss
There is nothing left to say
On this long sure drift
C:
Give me a long sure drift
Give me reasons to miss you
There is after all
A line that cannot be crossed
You will never fit
In your own home you are a guest
You breathed in and you stared out
At this long sure drift

Proud
06:31
|
|||
Well the days are an easy fight, if you know how to lose
At night never love, the person next to you
Just look into their eyes, and you will find
They’d already left, before they had arrived
And for all your misdemeanors, for all your good cheer
There’s no one for you, to care for you hear
And just when you’ve overcome, self-loathing and trust
Slowly eclipsed and discussed
PC:
And you’re so goddamn proud
And I don’t know how
Not for the first time, I just want to lay down
With my eyes closed
When back at the beginning, you think about the end
Like all your faults, are the things you defend
As the light pales, from winter tying its hands
Endlessly revealing, that you don’t understand
And this is not my day job, this morning parade
The Ferris wheel ride, the suggestions of blame
In a daily paper, or a monthly magazine
All this embroidery, to repair at the seam
PC:
And you’re so goddamn proud
And I don’t know how
Not for the first time, I just want to lay down
With my eyes closed
C:
And you, are so, Goddamn proud
And I, I don’t, know how
When you call, you call, call me out
Cause you, are so, goddamn proud

See You In The Mountains
03:35
|
|||
C:
Well I will see you in the mountains
There’s plenty of space for us to share
I will see you in the mountains
You were so much happier there
In the city I was lost, a walking fog, when you headed off, still searching
Floating around, in the dark, towering echoes, like crows perching
C:
Well I will see you in the mountains
There’s plenty of space for us to share
I will see you in the mountains
You were so much happier there
Do the days keep, slipping away, or the bodies, we are fighting for
Wished I could see someone else, falling apart unable to be restored
Well your stories are just pages, that are left, fading before their torn apart
And the drag of its claw, the sound of its voice, can recall how all the cracks start
C:
Well I will see you in the mountains
There’s plenty of space for us to share
I will see you in the mountains
You were so much happier there
Which way was the loss
I just want to be home again
I don’t want to be gone
To my friends, to my friends, to my friends
C:
Well I will see you in the mountains
There’s plenty of space for us to share
I will see you in the mountains
You were so much happier there
When you wake and stare at that side
At that side of the bed
I’ll will see you in the mountains
Fading trails of where I once slept
I will see you

We Don't Know Who We Are
05:58
|
|||
And we, we don’t always, have to win
But sometimes oh sometimes, I tell you, we can give in
To the distress, the distress the hurt, and the suffering
As long as you and me, as long as we get, to where we want to be
C:
Cause weeeeeee
We don’t know who we are
So why should we suffer fools
If they get between me and you
And be kind to ourselves
Blended together, but not confused
And time, oh time, it heals old wounds between me and you
And all the things that we’ve done, we never have to, repeat again
And in my place, oh my place, when you’re not here the feedback that resists
Placed gently, upon your skin, oh your skin, the thing that I miss
C:
Cause weeeeeee, Oh we
We don’t know who we are
C:
Cause weeeeeee, Oh we
We don’t know who we are

Beyond here, I suppose there is nothing
When you were gone, what were you thinking?
About why, does it feel
Like everything and everyone, can see through me?
And if there is really something, something here
Give me the strength, to see it through
These footsteps that shuffle, shuffle in my sleep
Do you love what you know, or yet to see
C:
From Here On Out, Its just you and I, Together at last
From Here On Out, Its just you and I, Broken and bent
Well our bones our minds, were soft and frail
Like facades torn down, overnight
You call out their name, there’s no one around
All the excuses you tell yourself, you don’t believe somehow
C:
From Here On Out, Its just you and I, Together at last
From Here On Out, Its just you and I, Broken and bent
Our home is little more, than a venue,
Without an audience I’d rather, disappear than fight
Do the things really come, to those who wait
So patiently not noticing, you have slipped away
So why don’t you change what, makes you unhappy
As long as that change doesn’t, look like me
They say everyone has to be, from somewhere
It has to be worthless and free, worthless and free
C:
From Here on Out, Its just you and I, Together at last
From Here on Out, Its just you and I, Broken and bent
From Here on Out, It’s just you and I, The two of us left
From Here on Out, It’s just the way, it all happened to be
Hardly anyone here, knows that they’re ending
Hardly anyone knows, there’s no more time
You’ve got to be open, to stop pretending
And the tunnel may reveal itself, to never had any light
Hardly anyone knows, that they’re ending
Hardly anyone knows, there’s no time
You’ve got to be open, to stop pretending
And the tunnel, may reveal itself, to never had any light
C: So turn off the lights, when your time, is finally over
And if you recall, were any pages from our book
Missing was there a thread, being pulled unravelling
You’ve got to be open, to stop pretending
And the tunnel, may reveal itself, to never had any light
C: So turn out the lights, when your time, is finally over

Pastures
05:33
|

Oh lets see, if all the pieces fit
Snowcapped mountains, slowly melting
Caught in the middle, relax for a while
A rough sea, is beautiful and wild
PC:
Beautiful and wild, beautiful and wild
Beautiful and wild, beautiful and wild
Well there’s distance, that can’t be repaired
Nothing about us without us, for us here
Where you go, it’s a lonely place to be stored
The guardrails inside, always fall
They always fall,
Falling
They always fall,
Falling
PC:
I’m, a, long way from home
I’m a long way from home
Yes I am
Laid in the sand, buried to my feet
As our heads drift, slowly off to sleep
So so nervous, calm and serene
Let me come back, I fail when I try
Oh, I try
God knows I try
Oh I try
God knows that I
PC:
I’m, a, long way from home
I’m a long way from home
C:
Well I’m a long way from home
I’m lost, I guess I suppose
Little hints, a mystery I know
Cause I’m, a long way from

Paloma
06:00
|
|||
Well you got me where you want me
This is hard, to share
Stretch our breathe in so many ways
This is hard enough to share
Staring at, the wreckage
Without knowing who’s in there
And if fear becomes your friend, darling
It’s here, built out in there
When there’s nothing to add or destroy
There’s no way to really know
Breaks apart, every single time
When there’s no light at end
This is especially hard to share
We are formed in its despair
Feeling like our anchors have slipped away, darling
You’ve been away, but who knows where
C:
Rust never sleeps on the road
But you and I sleep here
When we’ve fallen through out net, darling
Are we ruined, for someone, someone else
Run out of, things to say
Where do we go now
Become strangers, to ourselves
All our ceilings are black skies, in our house
When we don’t see anyone we recognize
Paloma was a place we use to hide
The messages, are flooding in
From the towers and rubble where we retire
C:
Rust never sleeps on the road
But you and I sleep here
When we’ve fallen through out net, darling
Are we ruined, for someone, someone else
Why build when we ebb and flow
Why stay when there’s no other places to go
If you keep talking there’s nothing left to share
It’s hard enough to be here with you and care
I looked into your eyes, I was never right
I looked into the dark, never saw the light
When I become a father will I be scarred
Moving on, losing what I had / Moving on, losing nobody I had
Moving on losing nobody who was right / Moving on, moving along each night

Jeremiah Joe
04:17
|
|||
Well they call me Jeremiah Joe
I lived over yonder a little while ago
And if you didn’t see me how would you know
They call me Jeremiah Joe
Well out in the fields I sowed and plowed
Worked my body into the ground
And if you didn’t believe me, where would you go
They call me Jeremiah Joe
Well I collapsed from under cold lungs
Dropped all possessions that I depend on
And if you could leave me, where would you go
They call me Jeremiah Joe
One day I quit, what I could see
Walked up a mountain to protect what I believe
And if didn’t realise, where would you go
They call me Jeremiah Joe
Well standing on the edge, of what I could tell
As you look out, you look back on yourself
And if you don’t believe me, what would you know
They call me Jeremiah Joe
Well outside they’re burning, everything down
Choking on smoke, their moneys new crown
And if you didn’t see it, how would you know
They call me Jeremiah Joe
Well up on that mountain, that I called my home
Imprisoned to what, I saw as my hope
And if I knew better, I still wouldn’t know
They call me Jeremiah Joe
Well outside the hen house, of black melodies
So many riders, coming for me
And if I didn’t believe it, where would I go
They call me Jeremiah Joe

Wolves
04:53
|
|||
Well I was encased, By a thousand lies
Reminded I was erased, Before my time
And you saved your best, For me sometimes
Can I sleep in your arms, Or are those limbs not mine
And there were wolves, They were naïve thieves
Living like rubbish, Black gold on the streets
Warming the benches, Marking territories
Your body was born alone, Its news to me
C:
And we, we’re like wolves
Somewhere out there, Hiding in the woods
And we, we’re like wolves
Somewhere out there, Hiding in the woods
Hold, Hold it close so tight
Wrap your head around it, Oh you can’t that’s right
It’s the ashes, They all drift and breathe
Nothing was stolen, It was asked to leave
C:
And we, we’re like wolves
Somewhere out there, Hiding in the woods
And we, we’re like wolves
Somewhere out there, Hiding in the woods
B:
Burnt everything, Messed everyone around
Tomorrow is a long time, When today’s just starting out
All the pictures, Of shiny pretty gowns
We’re adrift like islands, Looking to be found
C:
And we, we’re like wolves
Somewhere out there, Hiding in the woods
And we, we’re like wolves
Somewhere out there, Hiding in the woods
And we, we’re like wolves
Somewhere out there, Hiding in the woods
And we, we’re like wolves
Somewhere out there, Hiding in the woods
