Yukimi Lantern. In a Japanese garden out west When I got word of your death Just got off the phone with a Tokyo rose Said you were on the run, you were running from the sun Well you weren’t the only one Only grief teaches grief This much I know Because the pain were forced to hold Is not the kind you spin into gold Lives inside you like a small town Stays with you until the candle burns down Until the candle Until the candle Until the candle burns down In an English garden now The sun is going down A will o the wisp Looks like butter on toast I know your arm and arm, finally out of harm Were stuck with the ghost of your charm Only death teaches death This much I know Because the pain were forced to hold Is not the kind you spin into gold Lives inside you like a small town Stays with you until the candle burns down Until the candle Until the candle Until the candle burns down Because the pain were forced to hold Is not the kind you spin into gold Lives inside you like a small town Stays with you until the candle burns down Until the candle Until the candle Until the candle burns down down down

Lost Balloon 04:13
Lost Balloon. Swallowed by the city Where the street lights block the moon I keep losing people Like children do balloons The spell I’m in Theres no spelling it for you And thats truer than the truth Lets drive to the country Look at antiques and calm down Walk rooms filled with things Left behind, frayed and browned Gotta say I know that feeling When no one wants you around And thats truer than the truth Ive been let down Still so embarrassed of my youth So I lose myself Until the world is out of view They say you can find love In the family that you choose And thats truer than the truth Swallowed by the city Where even silence is loud People looked down on me But couldn’t see me through an ultrasound Under this sky Still haven’t learned how to be proud And thats truer than the truth You are truer than the truth (x4)

Sad Parade 04:09
Sad Parade. She wants things that can’t be supplied Like the people she lost that upped and died The world moved on so she looks to the sky and dreamed Books surrounding her bed Pages dog eared and read She’s living inside her head Inside her head Inside her head Shes chasing ufos Hoping to be saved Shes marching all alone Its a sad parade Its a sad parade She knows things you just can’t teach She taught me and I was out of reach The world don’t lie its just not as it seems Books surrounding her bed Pages dog eared and read She’s living inside her head Inside her head Inside her head Shes chasing ufos Hoping to be saved Shes marching all alone Its a sad parade Its a sad parade Shes chasing ufos Hoping to be saved Shes marching all alone Its a sad parade....

Crown Of Wild Flowers. You led me to a prairie Where a mist began to crawl All across the lands Picked Indian grass and berries You wove a crown in awe Braiding every strand Oh, Time drifts So glacial and eerie Oh Its eerie, the way time drifts When you’re lost in love The day grew blue and weary We watched some ploughs gnaw At the dirt like fangs When the sun finished disappearing You laid that crown on your head, And searched for a path Oh, Time drifts So glacial and eerie Oh Its eerie, the way time drifts When you’re lost in love Lost in the fields that night Your eyes filled with dread Hair danced in a draft Tried to find the words of prayer As the night turned to day You found our way Oh, Time drifts So glacial and eerie Oh Its eerie, the way time drifts When you’re lost in love Oh, Time drifts So glacial and eerie Oh Its eerie, the way time drifts When you’re lost in love

The Teacher 02:24
The Teacher. It doesn’t take a genius To know people expose secrets You don’t deserve it The moment you stop watching your six Is the moment you pay for it You have to learn this If you want a lesson here’s what you do Go walk a mile in my shoes So I can be a mile more away from you So I can be a mile more away from you Cant expect to right all these wrongs When you’re not in on the con You don’t need to curse it Just because you stand tall Doesn’t mean you understand at all You have to earn it If you want a lesson here’s what you do Go walk a mile in my shoes So I can be a mile more away from you So I can be a mile more away from you

Trail Worn Travelers Watching tail-lights fade Like dreams shrinking Eyes ashen grey Shining like trinkets Oceans of shame That the cold night brings with it Oh brother Ive done a lot of thinking Both looking for mercy But every warm trail turned cold Both looking for mercy But only one grew old Only one grew old Only one grew old When the sky goes starless Light feels strange Theres no way to bargain Your way through pain Both looking for mercy But every warm trail turned cold Both looking for mercy But only one grew old Only one grew old Only one grew old Between a wish And what the world sees to Ill leave the street lights Lit for you
