Ride Away

The scene is just so still
Turning off the lights man I don’t
Want to think about the things I will
Trying hard to drift away
Instead my head is filled
Weighed down by the crush where I won’t
Save it for the sullen windowsill
Waging war on yesterday
My head is turning blue, just because I won’t ride away
With nothing left to do, just because I won’t ride away
The watchman turns it loose, just because I won’t ride away
I’ve seen it all before, when it’s breaking down my door
But I don’t know what it’s for, and I can’t breathe
Imagine what they’ve willed
Lighting up the sky’s antidote
Drinking all the poison that I spilled
Praying that I fade away
Out where the motor stalls
Stream it like a nightmare I won’t
Summon all the silence after all
Save it for another day
My head is turning blue, just because I won’t ride away
With nothing left to do, just because I won’t ride away
My Walkman turns it loose, just because I won’t ride away
I’ve seen it all before, when it’s breaking down my door
But I don’t know what it’s for, and I can’t breathe
There’s no silence anymore, smash my fingers in the door
And lay my head down on the floor ‘cause I can’t sleep
My head is turning blue, just because I won’t ride away
With nothing left to do, just because I won’t ride away
My Walkman turns it loose, just because I won’t ride away
I’ve seen it all before, when it’s breaking down my door
But I don’t know what it’s for, when I can’t sleep

Crush

No more anthems on the wall, for the call, this place that I see
No more heroes of the fall, through it all, in the wrong century
No more places I can go, that I know, oh I just want to leave
When we’re buried and you know, feeling low, with no more air to breathe
Ain’t no way to get you down for a time
Ain’t no way to bring you down
And no summer passing by on the line
With no crush to keep you down
When you find you’re on the run, with my guns, and nothing left to see
And you’re beat down by the sun, the only one, with nowhere else to be
The only trouble in my space, I embrace, it’s all that I know
Makes its way back without haste, and in its place, a past so long ago
Ain’t no way to get you down for a time
Ain’t no way to bring you down
And no summer passing by on the line
With no crush to keep you down
Sweetness is all that I know
And listless is all I can be
Faithful like the fruit that we grow
And timeless like your will in the breeze
And I know the spaces we go, the fields where we grow
are all very sweet
Still I go, it’s all very slow, and nobody knows
what this means to me
Ain’t no way to get you down for a time
Ain’t no way to bring you down
And no summer passing by on the line
With no crush to keep you down

End of Days

Spun out on the highway, with the lights down low
The only turn left there and on it goes
She thinks that I can’t see her, laid out on the road
The wheels still turning, why we’ll never know
A wreck indeed alone I see, and lost from where I am
And I never learn my lesson each day I make my stand
You fled the scene and typecast me and threw it all away
Now I’ve nothing left to answer for, I’ve seen the end of days
Tires bare and worn down, we strap in for the ride
And disappear right where we cross that line
Drift asleep completely, and spun out all the while
The only way back there is on that mile
A wreck indeed alone I see, and lost from where I am
And although I learn my lesson, each day I make my stand
You killed my clutch and don’t say much, it won’t drive anyway
Now I’ve nothing left to answer for, I’ve seen the end of days
A strange thing happened long ago right where the sky turned black
Something threw me in the air and brought me back
It tore me into pieces with a strange song in my head
Now my emptiness won’t stare me down too long, until the sky turns red
A wreck indeed alone I see, and lost from where I am
And although I learn my lesson, each day I make my stand
You killed my clutch and don’t say much, it won’t drive anyway
Now I’ve nothing left to answer for, I’ve seen the end of days

Always

I should have told you
They kept me waiting all this time and now I’m gone
But I didn’t want to
Take my place among the lost or stay for long
But you slipped away
And left me standing all alone with all the things they say
So don’t come undone
Don’t try to stay away for long, when everything seems wrong
Always
