Starlight and Ash

The silence Spans a thousand miles filling the space between us Right now You only exist in my mind I'm living with the echoes Of the last words you said My heart beats like a drum Full of dread, full of dread I'm helpless To figure out a way to get to you Much less Find out where you go with your heart of stone when I'm left alone Oh yea I'm not sure what it takes to be a man (be a man, be a man) But I know you can, I know you can You're failing, I'm falling I hear the evergreens calling Take me away Take me away You tell me not to worry But I feel this darkness upon me Take me away Take me away You're failing, I'm falling I hear the evergreens calling Take me away Take me away You tell me not to worry But I feel this darkness upon me Take me away Take me away Into the night (You tell me not to worry, but I feel this darkness upon me) Into the night (Take me away, take me away) Can you hear me? I am calling Outrunning this fear that is growing Take me away Take me away Into the night

Living with the pictures in my head (Sometimes we forget) This place will hold for me what cannot be said (Sometimes we regret) Where only my hallowed footstep dared to tread (Sometimes we forget) Now times indifference rushes to bury them (Sometimes we regret) So slowly corroding aged with time This places serenity a time lapse lie I'm inching slowly I'm out my mind And the peace within me is a lie by design Distorted memories and pictures (Sometimes we forget) These places they will remember us (Sometimes we regret) Infused deep with all our pain (Sometimes we forget) Somewhere forever pieces of us remain (Sometimes we regret) So slowly corroding aged with time This places serenity a time lapse lie I'm inching slowly I'm out my mind And the peace within me is a lie by design And I, I surrender I take back all I owe And can you tell me where time goes As it flies away from me? Living with the pictures in my head (Sometimes we forget) This place will hold for me what cannot be said (Sometimes we regret) Distorted memories and pictures (Sometimes we forget) These places they will remember us (Sometimes we regret) Hidden in plain view secrecy (Sometimes we forget) This place is haunted if you want it to be

This land where I was born Near this old river Nothing there to keep my heart from wondering But there I'm tethered Those ole stories haunt me Those old stories are me Everything I've ever loved Is at the bottom of the river Where we go to be reborn A baptism in forever I'm a 1,000 miles from home I'm a 1,000 miles from nowhere But tonight I'll close my eyes And when I wake up I will be there Take me south Take me home Where the sunsets glow Where the trees bend down And lay me below Send me south On the old Trinity I'll meet the Shepherd's call On that ole boat ride just going home And she'll say, raise him up Raise him up (raise him up) Bring him south To where the ole bells call The trees have bended branches The harsh winds have shaped them so They embrace this hanging man that I am Take me south, take me home Where the Shepherd makes his home each evening And the Trinity River flows Beast of the southern river Beast of the southern wild Take me south Take me home Where the sunsets glow Where the trees bend down And lay me below Send me south On the old Trinity I'll meet the Shepherd's call On that ole boat ride just going home And she'll say raise him up Raise him up (raise him up) Bring him south to where the ole bells call (Bring him home, yes bring him home) Mmm hmm (Bring him home to where the ole bell call) Home to where the ole bell call (He's coming home, he's coming home) Where's the sunset glows, lay him below (He's coming home, he's coming) He's coming home, lay, lay him below (He's coming home, he's coming home) Ohhhh, ohhh, yes take him home (He's coming home, he's coming home) Ohhh, ohhhh, ohhhh

Snakes of Eden The scent of a rabid man As he grabs her hips and hands Oh there's no excuse We're taught to be abuse Snakes of Eden Writhing in glass and sand Grasping at what you can Oh to keep control You just can't let us go The days ahead Our fear behind Our hope ahead And yet we struggle to climb The days ahead (the days ahead) Our fear behind (our fear behind) Our hope ahead as darkness surrounds us Snakes of Eden The scent of rabid man As he grabs her hips and hands Oh there's no excuse They're taught to give abuse Snakes of Eden Writhing in glass and sand Grasping at what you can Oh to keep control They just can't let us go The days ahead Our fear behind Our hope ahead And yet we struggle to climb The days ahead (the days ahead) Our fear behind (our fear behind) Our hope ahead As darkness surrounds us A bitter life A flickering life Filled with starlight A bitter life A flickering life Filled with starlight... and ash Let the stars be your light Let the stars be your light Let the stars be your light Let the stars be your light The days ahead Our fear behind Our hope ahead And yet we struggle to climb The days ahead (the days ahead) Our fear behind (our fear behind) Our hope ahead As darkness surrounds us A bitter life A flickering life Filled with starlight A bitter life A flickering life Filled with starlight Filled with starlight... and ash Snakes of Eden Snakes of Eden Snakes of Eden Grasping at what you can Snakes of Eden The scent of a rabid man

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

You could see it in my eyes The moment I walked through the door I had had another hard day And I was barely holding on In your arms I I'm defenseless In your eyes I'm Everything I want to be When I was a little girl I dreamed of all I would become And broken wasn't one I ever Ever thought I'd linger on I dreamed of a man Who would love me For everything I always wanted to be And now it only feels, feels like I am failing And I can't stand a moment with myself And if I can't find a reason, then how could anyone? And I don't wanna be the reason The reason that we fail And now it only feels, feels like I am falling And I can't stand to look myself in the eyes And if I can't find the meaning, then how could anyone? And I don't wanna be the reason The reason that we fail I fight, I yell, I fall Back into your open arms I bend, I break, I crawl Back into your open arms I fight, I yell, I fall Back into your open arms I bend, I break, I crawl Back into your open arms I need you My darling Without you I'm falling

Servants to the wind and the sea Builders of great sea monsters Yet they've never sailed away To see where the dark clouds go Yet off in the horizon Where the sunset meets the shore That's where their souls are longing to go In hopes of so much more Their faith now long forgotten In the toil of this harsh land Their dreams lay lost and buried Under the rocks and sand (Their fathers, their fathers, their fathers) The cool breeze mocks the men below Singing of places they'll never know A harsh wind carries away their tears As the salty air wears away the years Yet off into the horizon Where the sunset meets the shore That's where their souls are longing to go In hopes of so much more Their faith now long forgotten In the toil of this harsh land Their dreams lay lost and buried Under the rocks and sand Yet off into the horizon Where the sunset meets the shore That's where their souls are longing to go In hopes of so much more (so much more) Their faith now long forgotten In the toil of this harsh land Their dreams lay lost and buried Under the rocks and sand
