Broken Wing

I will
Take you
Under my broken wings
If you’ll be my voice
When I need to sing
Under my broken wings
We met
Neon bright
But I can’t get enough of the night
I’ve made my mistakes
But you make them right
Down in the dim of the lights
It’s so
Hard to know
Where this new road is gonna go
But I’ll take it
Anyway
Cause a new view looks better to me
There are paths
You cross
Find you when all seems so lost
They answer when you ask
If life’s worth the cost
You stand when the last choice is fall
So let’s
Follow through
And I know just what this means to you
My heart beat’s a drum
Honey I feel it too
Down where the sky’s black and blue
It’s so
Hard to know
Where this new road is gonna go
But I’ll take it
Anyway
Cause a new view looks better to me

Vice
03:44

I wanna know your vice
I wanna know your price
I wanna know what makes you sick and keeps you up at night
I wanna get to know your lips
Outline em with my finger tips
I want you and all of your secrets I want you just outside my grip
I got to know you your breath
Warm against my neck
And ever since that moment past
Been ages since I slept
You caught me in a corner once
Showed me what we could become
And after every setting sun I want your fever on my tongue
Lately
I’ve been thinkin
In between the lines of wants and needs
Days when
I don't feel it
Seem to be fall few and far between
Just as your vice might have you bleed
I wanna taste your words
I wanna put in work
I wanna call you up so late and heal you till it hurts
I wanna see inside your soul
To grab ahold and take control
I want to conquer all your doubt
I want to own you inside out
Lately
I’ve been thinkin
In between the lines of wants and needs
Days when
I don't feel it
Seem to be fall few and far between
Just as your vice might have you bleed

Barricade
03:18
|
|||
|
I specialize in leaving
Reliving and believing in myself
And all the times I’ve strayed
I’m not the kind of woman to start a war and lose one
But your touch it puts a crack in my barricade
And no flower mystique or secret I keep
Could bare to distinct or keep me away
I’m fine
I’m aware
But I feel unprepared
In the shadows of the past and the mess I made
I’m afraid but I ain’t running
Pull the shades and let the sun in
This winter has plagued me for far too long
So open to me lover
Like you’ve never loved another
Reborn, you’ve awakened my heart with your song
Surrender my pride
Give into the tide
Afloat in an ocean of forest rain
When I open my eyes
You’re right there beside
And we bask in the joy and we dance through the pain
So long I tried
And longed to fly
And fell to the unforgiving earth that I’ve made
I severed ties and cursed the skies with ease
Leaving broken hearts and tears in my wake
So suddenly so hopeful for love I forgot to hope for
Contented with you in our renaissance
So onward and upward
No reasons now to suffer
The horizon is all we could need or could want

Mockingbird
04:13
|

|
Mockingbirds with punctured lungs
Singing at a severed sun
Cut in two against the blue
The moon don't mourn when day is done
Walking with my fevered dream
Seamlessly we shift our aims
Secrets in our corners kept
But black and whites in phones are framed
Impatiently we kill the time
Choke with gentle hands sublime
Learn and love and push and shove
Know our light will soon arrive
Hold who we can never own
Know what isn't meant to show
Braid our lines behind the night
Behind closed eyes we merge and moan
And I won't look the other way
Or idly wait another day
So we camouflage our crowns
And reign over the bed we made
Mocking birds sing through the night
Ceaseless with the red sun rise
So we'll raise the voice they gave
I've seen you hit heaven's height
Jacob's ladder reaching down
Bathing in the flash we found
Our raven hair and solace here
So hold me while the ship goes down

Thunder and Lightning
03:04
|
|||
|
I share a wall wakes me up in the night
In a neighborhood quiet we sleep though our sight
There’s nothing to tell we look our own way
Ignore every hell while we sweat from the blaze
Nights after work where the bourbon should tame
But the burdens he bears let the wilds remain
He raises his hands like a gun to the sky
And bruises on bones all to easy to hide
And love is a promise and life is a lie
Escape is a virtue so faint in her eyes
And days filled with cigarettes regret and wine
Stalling and falling all tethered in time
There’s really nothing much more I could say
If there is a god something’s caught in his way
The blood grown and gone but the venom remains
The thunder and lightening done brought down the rain

Fortress
03:48
|

|
Your fortress is a fraud
Façade for all to see
You hold it to the chest
And wear a forgery
So does it work for you
And would it work for me
Cause I been getting worked with
My heart on my sleeve
Silence is a virtue
Til it is too late
And ears no longer there
To cradle all you say
Temper up your mind
And smile to your grave
Could always turn around
Could always be too late
Soldiers
Running
Whispers
Round bleed
black
Beneath the night
The moon is new
The streets lamps dim
I never felt the fight
My thoughts in a fever frenzied up and fearful to
No matter where I aim then always land on you
Can you see the past
What little you have left
Cause there’s no going back
If you take one more step
But that’s one point of view
We know there’s always two
But I can’t read the Braille
Of subtle hints and clues

Mother of Wolves
03:10
|
|||
|
She's the mother of wolves
On a new moon midnight
And there's bones in her homes
When the black is this bright
It's a short solstice day
And the long moan of night
And there's rust on the blade
And spells in her eyes
It's volcano black
By the blue of the ice
And an ocean as vast
Deep and long as the night
Finally a fresh fang
In the crescent that hangs
On an ebony canvas
That howls when it sings
She the mother of wolves
And she taught them to run
To the edge of the earth
Giving chase to the sun
Where she hardened her hands
By the cold oceans groan
Pushing them into land
Til she raised a new home

Hope it Matters
05:01
|
|||
|
No midnight train
No sweet refrain
No realization
No remains
No bones about it
Anymore
No guns blazing
No more war
No red sunset
Escape car
No gulf stream breeze
No getting far
No made amends
Just made mistakes
A high speed chase
With tampered brakes
No greatest hits
No prime time play
No questions posed
To yesterday
No heavy dose
No perfect score
No getting close
There is no more
No tall tales told
To guide the way
You live you learn
You burn through days
You breathe your words
This air your page
And hope it matters in some way
And I found my reason
Lose them every season
Something to believe in
Something left to do
Love is every answer
All that’s worth our chances
All our stolen glances
Leading me to you

Fast Fever
04:23
|
|||
|
I felt your fast fever
I followed your leader
I asked for the truth
In truth wanted neither
I was a believer
In hoaxes and ghost
But hard to devote
To someone so close
I can’t be your only
And no one can own me
And I wanted something
Just someone to hold me
The last left me lonely
Queen of the cold
And we tip toe round fears of
Old and alone
And it’s a bridge we’re crossing
Venom calling for me
Put it off for now
Put it off for now
And it’s a silent warning
Til it’s silence storming
Put it off for now
Put it off for now
And I owned a clear mind
For a sliver of time
And it slipped in a second
Some things are so slight
Fell through the hands
Like soft sand and my plans
And I toss and I turn
And I learn when I land

Bends and Bows
03:40
|
|||
|
You went for a walk
Said you didn’t care
You were too tired to fear anymore
You needed to talk
We’re a chatty pair
I listened and never was bored
You came to me with a heart like an angry sea
Tied to your tempest
I guess you got the best of me
And there’s nothing to do but hold on
And weather the storm
And try to keep warm
These bends and bows are taking their toll
The summer has passed and it’s winter at last
And I knew I would more like the cold
So let the wind blow
Let the wind blow
You fell to your knees
Said an honest prayer
I had hope in my mind for your heart
What words will you weave
When you clear the air
Lord leaving and needing is hard
Falling is free but landing’s a lofty cost
Out in the sea there is nowhere to be but lost
And there’s nothing to do but hold on
And weather the storm
And try to keep warm
These bends and bows are taking their toll
The summer has passed and it’s winter at last
And I knew I would more like the cold
So let the wind blow
Let the wind blow
