I’ll move on if you run away. First I’ll come and plead with you to stay.
If you still want to leave, that’s your mistake.
When your gone, nothing’s gonna change.
Everyone you’ve touched will wash your fingerprints away.
Don’t try to wash your mouth with soap and say, “I’d rather be in clothes then dressed in rags.”
I’m counting days until it gets hard, hide in the shade til’ it gets dark.
Find a place where I can see you park.
Then I’ll make my way across your yard, chase the maze into your heart.
Sneak upstairs, ladder to the loft.
Or you could grow your hair, drop it down and I’ll climb up.
Or I could sing outside your window til’ you come out and talk.
Can I buy more time to offer you a hand?
I’ll read through the lines, or die if I could understand.
But I wont lie and say I’ll fuel the plan to drive away another man you loved.
I’ll be left to answer, ace the hardest quiz.
What led her to chance hurt? Who cut a scar on a wrist?
There will be speculation that there was no on else involved.
I’ll be the last one who hears you and it wont be a call over the phone.
Jump the gate like Jack on Crown, stumble my way up to your house.
To steer you away, turn you around.
Not even fate could pull its weight to keep me out.
Swim the moat, scale up the wall. Walk on my toes down creaking halls.
Creep up the stairs, so quietly crawl, back to your bed where I belong.
A swinging door, a broken hinge. Waging war, an unspoken win.
If you want a shot count to 9 then tell me to not act surprised.
Our story’s written out in lead, easily erased by the other end or the pen.
The imbedded marks on the script is where our buried fairy tale lives.
Someday come and search the sand, Find fossils of our romance,
What remains remembers not, a life that you gave back to God.
The life that you have back is gone.
Stark, folk-derived songs built on brittle acoustic guitars that conjure the image of a fire burning in the distance on a dark night. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 8, 2022
