I guess I've been maybe an oak, a stout standing tree
Keeping everybody under my wing until the fall, until I wanna leave
And I wanna be more than a clock on the wall, a small ticking time bomb
Freaking out from everybody who's been looking at me
Waiting for some change
I know I'm going in circles
Talk me down, talk me down from whatever this is
"Is it serious?" Well I dont know..
So I'll take a step back and I'll take off my body
And I'll watch it shake
Shake like there's tremors in its bones
And I'll watch it break
Break like it's skin's made out of porcelain
I know I'm only going in
"My brother, you're not alone
One of us will find you and we'll drive you home
Wait on the corner of Elm and wherever you are,
I'm only right down the road and you've always got a place to go
And the lock's always open on my apartment door"

Words escape me like a subtle wind
Where do I begin to tell you all about the life
And how I've made some strife across the boards,
I never crossed it again
So I fell into you
And you brought me right back down
You hold some science inside you that dangles your days
Its solemn in a mind so honed
That the solitude of having you is all you wanna feel
I didn't think you knew
About the plays in the hand that you've been dragging around
I didn't think you knew
About the evil that you carry along with you
I didn't think you knew
Who was there when that sound like static, breaking up the voice behind your ears
B-lined past your eyes
Like you never the sunrise
Cause your window's closed
You're afraid to let me in
Melancholy to the bone
I didn't think you knew
About the ace in your hand that you've been dragging around
I didn't think you knew
About the evil that you carry along with you
I didn't think you knew
Rainwalker, I'm after your solace in the middle of a storm
But you throw no harmony my way
Rainwalker, I'm over this disposition; no comfort
And I know you've got the best intentions
And you don't see your evil
I hold that too

I'm sitting in the car
Are you watching me wait?
Afraid that I won't come in again?
I step out of the light only to see her
In a vision, but no call.
I'm watching you lose the spot you called for your next move.
Is the song you sing buckling in your throat?
Are you torn at all?
I won't pry open your gates with a jab and a sneer
I came at this wrong, I see your shoulders tense.
I'm letting you know it'll all end soon
But we still won't have her back
I want you to know its not a chore
But we're further than before
Come on and laugh with me or live with me
I've wanted to say you might
Boil it down, we're all that we have
You can't fill the space
It's a tooth pulled before you drag your smoke
An empty seat in the front of the truck

"You sing the song of a bard not a martyr
I get the feeling that you're feeling like you're coming up short
And your stomach's tied and gripped
And all you're longing for is a cure for all your nerves
But you're left with the grip in your stomach
The sound of the car
The face of a friend to make sense of it all.
I heard your voices coming through your failed attempts to breathe.
I heard you voices coming through you.
And earlier in the parking lot
You lit one up and you smoked it dry
And apologized for the way you were
And I said 'son, you've got some growing up to do
But I thank the stars for you
Your twelve is lucky, your twelve is always lucky.'
And I heard your voices coming through your failed attempts to breathe
And I heard your voices coming through you.
Let me remind you how much it'd hurt
If my young man let it burn
And slipped away
I heard your voices coming through your failed attempts to breathe
And I heard your voices coming through you.

Little Longer

And I know you gotta wake up early for your hospital bed
I came when they told me
Wish you could wait a little longer
And I know you've got these scripts, the drips
The chemical reactions only help you for a bit
Wish they could keep you a little longer
And here I am
Feeling all down, down on me
Feel like I'm playing a role
I gotta be cold in place of letting it go
You taught me excellence in pride
I know you're only upstairs but could you wait a little longer?
I'll only be gone a couple more hours
I'll see you when I'm back home from New Bedford
I told you I'll be quick
But I was standing there sick
I'm sorry for leaving your soul like that
