From the recording Tanning Hides
Lyrics
If I love your heart again
Will you be the bridled wine
Steep it stronger every day
And if I’m only rotten ways
And I waste away it’s
Cause I’m rotting in a cage
And do you love me or the rain
Ask it quietly so
We can wash
these colored panes
And if my harbors finally safe
Will you port and hoard it o-
-ver, over every sodden gaze
Empty gold eyes
Naked in their own lies
Making me hold my
Faith
Maybe in an old life
Waking every sunrise
Making every hole, my disgrace
Diving forward
Through an endless sky
Ride these four words
Down an endless high
And counting sorrows
In my sullen eyes
Isn’t what you dreamed of
Isn’t what you like
Driving for ya
In a well wished dry and
I’ve been for ya
Baby all this time
And counting quarrels
And tanning hides
Never ended my way
Never ended nice
And I don’t lacerate
I just walk away
I don’t get these fake bait
Rites
And I’ve been half awake
But I’ll assassinate
Every little demons night
Begging up your allure, hey
Setting up your after shade
Make it up with every bite
Dimmer than an ashen glade
Drink it like it’s lemonade
Whisper nothings left behind
Bring me back yeah
Tell me often
Tell me I’m alright
Bring it back yeah
Make it happen
Tell me we’ll be fine
Take it back yeah
Shrug it off, and
Maybe we’ll be fine
Break it off this
Broken Heartbeat
Make this feel alright
Diving forward
Through an ashen sky
Ride these four words
Down an endless high
And counting sorrows
In my sullen eyes
Isn’t what you dreamed of
Isn’t what you like
Driving for ya
In a well wished dry and
I’ve been for ya
Baby all this time
And counting quarrels
And tanning hides
Never ended my way
Never ended nice
Driving forward
Through an ashen sky
Ride these horsemen
To an endless night
And counting sorrows
In my sultan eyes
Isn’t what you dreamed of
Isn’t what you like
Driving for ya
In a well washed dry and
I’ve been for ya
Baby for a while
Are we counting morals
Or are we counting hides
Never ended my way
Never ended nice
