House
I live on the banks of a river
But I ain’t going in there no more
The waters run red with the blood of the dead
And the dreams wash up on the shore
I live on the edge of a wood
But I ain’t going in there no more
The wolf’s got my name on the tip of his tongue
And wine sweeter than ever before
Ever before x 2
And the wind blows through the cracking walls
Elements wear down my resolve
If I leave will I come back at all
Ohhhhh
I live in a house of transgression
Two windows dirt soul for a floor
The walls bend and breathe with the life inside me
And a ghost always knocks on the door
Ohhhhh x 4
If I leave will I come back at all x 15

Six
Still shaping the darkness
Blend the absence of sound
With your brush paint your colors all around
Some time to quiet
Some quiet too loud
Be the sunshine
Be the blue skies
Be the clouds
CHORUS
Light shifts into shadow
Through the cities and towns
As we fade in and out
White noise in the distance
Is the din of a crowd?
As we breathe in and out
Hear answers in echoes
Worldless lullabies
Dreaming triptychs
In silent side by sides
Show visions on ribbon
End to end and repeat
Be the willow
Be the branches
Be the leaves
CHORUS

Edges
They never forgave the man who fed the fires burning through the forest
All but abandoned, take what you can carry in this quiet call to arms
But what are the options when the flames are moving faster, coming toward us
And truth is no object, though it comes and goes, it’s passed from hand to hand
CHORUS
I know my edges are uneven
The pictures I’ve kept are gray and grainy
I know that the carpet is worn from pacing
I gather the instruments and work my way through all the weights and measures
But metal and glass cannot contain the heat that radiates the past
What reaches its boiling point, evaporates, and finds its way to heaven
Comes down with a vengeance, tearing all the life from its path
CHORUS
I know my edges are uneven
The pictures I’ve kept are gray and grainy
I know that the carpet is worn from pacing
The pictures I’ve kept are gray and grainy
I know my edges are uneven
The pictures I’ve kept are gray and grainy
I know that the carpet is worn from pacing
The pictures I’ve kept are gray and grainy
I know my edges are uneven

Sinking Stone
Life takes its toll
Time takes us all
Weathering wood
Battling scars
Wind causing wear
Strangling vines
Blood-letting life
Veins running dry
CHORUS
Say you’re a sinking stone
You’re not alone
I’m drawn in too
Coursing through days
Razor thin wire
Face turned to gray
Swim into fire
CHORUS
Say you’re a sinking stone
You’re not alone
I’m drawn in too
Say you’re a sinking stone
You’re not alone
I’m drawn in too
I’m drawn in too
