Never Arrive, Never Return

Now is the time To realign the firmament For us to find the right words Bring on the end of memory What is missing in this place Is inside yourself A history of bittersweet sickness And inner violence While we were trying to find What we cannot live without A secret life took hold Shadows growing longer They were up in the trees It was everywhere We are all on this wood path We have lost our way They came from the hills They came for everyone They were desperate to be seen And made my heart their home We come from the hills We comfort everyone First we reap then we sow Out of their hands we go Out of their hands we go There is healing in the howling of their names There is healing in the howling of their names They came from the hills They came for everyone They were desperate to be seen And made my heart their home We come from the hills We comfort everyone First we reap then we sow Out of their hands we go The only place that I have ever loved Is a place I left behind We will never stop our singing Whatever happens now let’s turn it into something real

Coming out of the fog On the new road north A little further ahead Lies a village I know Leave the tunnel behind Now just a short rest Survey the scene In the soft golden glow The streets await our feet Just keep quiet at first Just remember the plan For now we go with the flow Just bear with me And my heart full of ghosts There will be work to do And a face to show The rain follows the plow The rain follows the plow I will soldier on Coming out of the fog On the new road north A little further ahead Lies this village I know The rain follows the plow The rain follows the plow And now we go with the plow

All the magic has gone from the world All the visions are blurred, lost or maimed I am ready to be gone I am ready to travel on In my blood moves an ocean Now the pain becomes a trickle I am ready to be gone, travel on I am ready to travel home Witness the process This is the eternal burial Your time is running out now And there is nothing I can do I bring a ring to remember And a noise made by wolves And as I turn to walk away It draws me back again and again Through the sound of music They can reach your mind Through the sound of music They can reach your mind This is the eternal burial This is the eternal burial Under the wide and starry sky Dig the grave and let me die Under the wide and starry sky Dig the grave and let me lie Under the wide and starry sky Dig the grave and let me die

Now the ambulance has left And there is time to comprehend What was achieved and what was given As this life becomes so twisted for us all to live in When you can’t take it anymore Build a house where no one lives Start again, start to bleed, start the end Is it still the same, I’d say I’ve changed Different than before When I can’t take it anymore Is it memory or dream Into a tailspin All the wrong turns All the wrong turns All the wrong turns I will erase All my wrong turns Now the ambulance has left

Another road is calling The blood from their cuts Does not mean as much now as Their blood from my cuts What if in your sleep You disappear I let your name slip my mind Today you can’t help me Another path is waiting The blood from their cuts Does not mean as much now as Their blood from my cuts No one knows what happened On this soil I make my home Too many midnights pass And show no signs of slowing Now the lights are dimming The walls are closing in Into the endless twilight To a place where I no longer feel You destroyed this life In a blizzard of lies A season of change The healing hands A feast for the eyes A blizzard of lies They will not find our secret place They will not find what is hidden there In time even we will have forgotten The way to the secret hideaway Another road is calling The blood from their cuts Does not mean as much now as Their blood from my cuts Another road is calling Another path is waiting

Here on the other side of life I send a message to the wind To be alive and sing these words is a quiet victory To leave it all behind was the hardest thing I wish you would know me now In this moment of clarity Here on Mount Solaro I am waiting in the shade Here on the other side of life I write a message in the sand I wish I could start anew Here I am still wasting so much time The reward of the journey is to never arrive Now your voice is a ghost from the other side Even my eyes Even my eyes Let’s meet in Asheville after we have all died I have seen things clearly that are not true I have seen things clearly that are not true Sometimes you just have to stay out of sight for a long, long time Sometimes you just have to stay out of sight for a very long time Here on the other side

You can only burn this house alone Turn the rooms of time to ashes Light the spark to your redemption Bring on the fire Where are they now The things only we can see They have all betrayed us Just stay the hell away from me On my way to explore the anger Find out if people are made of lies The spine of the night And the mountains below I will not let it have a place in my life I will not let it have a place in my life I will not let it have a place in my life I will not let it have a place in my life One day things may be clear but not tonight One day we will find our way but not tonight Life gets kind of ragged now it is happening tonight Life gets kind of ragged now in blood and starlight I will not let it have a place in my life I will not let it have a place in my life I will not let it have a place in my life I will not let it have a place in my life Just stay the hell away from me Just stay the hell away from me

There are birds who know when we go to our graves There are things inside so hard to control Drop me off and leave me here I will find my way around Once in a dream I have seen this place before Time does not mean a thing Walk without shadow, mirror or dream Time for the echo to end and the voice to begin On a clear day, I can see The old house, the memory Did you ever wonder Are you the same inside Now waiting is not an option Now patience only destroys you There is someone I’d like to see Don’t wait, I am going, I am going now Now the darkness is in my bloodstream Drop me off and leave me here I will find my way around Once in a dream I have seen this place before Time does not heal a thing There are ghosts who travel with us to our graves

Come in and meet yourself This void is fortified I defend the emptiness This moon has a different tide A silent war A silent war What are you waiting for There are voices whispering Abandon the void Come in and lose yourself This void is all you have And the city glows in the night Here I spend a thousand midnights in the silent war Here I spend a thousand midnights in the silent war

"tears run from my feline eyes" Did you ever know You, so far away Waiting for an answer Waiting for another time Some kind of heaven Let your depths shine The heartland may be flooded The spire never drowns Just like the place I always long for To know I'll never reach Never reach you Thoughts and memories Are remedies to get a glimpse Of this light I raise my arms toward Once more lights Everywhere anytime with you or you Oh do I dare In the narrow next time Oh do I get A next time at all Just take me out I will try again
