Deafening Silence

You're a blanket of lies on my bed of truth
Now I'm saying sorry for things I didn't do
You looked me in the eyes and told me all my faults
When we both know this is a reflection of you
Sometimes it takes biting your tongue
For the truth to come out like dripping blood
Sometimes it takes holding your breath
Oh the deafening silence says it all
I can feel my wings flickering in a cracked cocoon
Built by years of protecting my heart
I'm snapping these sticks and I'm kicking these stones
I'm sick of you're words breaking my bones apart
Sometimes it takes biting your tongue
For the truth to come out like dripping blood
Sometimes it takes holding your breath
Oh the deafening silence says it all

Amelia head for the light
I see your ship in the distance like a star in the night
I know you know what you're doing
I just want you to come home to me
Amelia watch out for those crashing waves
Stand tall my love oh wont you be brave
I know you're heart was forged by the sea
I just want you to come home to me
I know about death but I'm not immune to the grief of it
You were all I had the only one who fit
Now I'm lookin' up at the night sky
Watching your ship learn to fly
Amelia you didn't send me a signal
Now I'm up all night planning your vigil
I know your heart was forged by the sea
I just want you to come home to me
I know about death but I'm not immune to the grief of it
You were all I had the only one who fit
Now I'm lookin' up at the night sky
Watching your ship learn to fly

When I'm Gone

My words have become formalin
Trying to preserve what needs to decay
I have the stomach of steel but a heart of heart of crystal
Watch how you move or this might break
We both know you’ll feel better when I’m gone
We both know you'll feel better when I'm gone
I took a scalpel to the heart on my sleeve
Cut it down the middle for you to see
Your world will become a well oiled machine
And I will become wild and free
We both know you’ll feel better when I’m gone
We both know you'll feel better when I'm gone
I’ve been throwing my cards on this pile of bones
trying to decide if I should let go
and I’m just sitting here dissecting my thoughts
as I watch the dance of our shadows
We both know you’ll feel better when I’m gone
We both know you'll feel better when I'm gone

Running Away

There was a time when people didn’t say I’m getting better
There was a time I was doin’ just fine
Every word I said was a thread
That held the room together
There was a time when I ran the town
Without fear and bare feet
There was a time when I climbed skyscrapers
Wearing long silk skirts
I know I am running away
I don’t know what from
I know this is not a dream
I know I can’t go back
I caught my breath in mommas kitchen
Girl whatcha doin’ in these old mountains
I came here for a cup of coffee
I came here to find myself
I got lost on the winding roads
Propelled by a gentle breeze
I caught my breath at Shelton-Laurel
Honey, it looks like you’ve been found
I know I am running away
I don’t know what from
I know this is not a dream
I know I can’t go back
