Burn

Look what she gave you
Everything that's on the table but it's not enough
Your ego got the better of your able body
Just for a moment get your feeble mind to notice
That the answer's not a needle in a haystack
Even then you'd burn it to the ground
And see the needle that you found
And say that this is not enough for me
To listen to the sound of her breaking heart
Examine and decide that
This won't pin your good thoughts
To the cork board at the forefront of your mind
Listen to the scientist that says we won't survive this
Our weapons of destruction are our hands, our heads
Our kids will miss the calm
In their heads will be a car alarm
A plague upon her skin
Her head is breaking from within
I'm pleading to the masses
I don't recognise her face anymore
She's an amalgamation of faces
Spilt and torn, can take no more
I'm asking you to sober up
And hold her hand, she's had enough
Protect your love from burning up
We're burning up

Heavenly Father

(Bon Iver Cover)
Ever since I heard the howlin' wind
I didn't need to go where a bible went
But then you know your gifts seemed heaven sent
Just lead me to a choler, dad, that's the thing
I don't know how you house the sin
But you're free now
I was never sure how much of you I could let in
And I'm free now
Won't you settle down baby here your love has been
Heavenly father
It's defiantly lava
Why you don't carry other names?
Heard about a day where it dropped the know
To go another day as we learn to close
'Cause I'm a known coward in a coward wind
But you're free now
You turn around now and you count to 10
To see you go now
Well I know now honey that I can't pretend
Heavenly father
Is whose brought to his autumn
And love is left in end
I just been up here for god damn years
Can you see now?
Filling up hulls with god damn fears
I am free now
I know about it darlin', I've been standin' here
Heavenly father
Is all that he offers
A safety in the end

As We Were

Meet me at the divide
Where the sun and the moon share the sky
Ears up against the wall
No more an angel than a siren’s call, it seems
A blank slate but I feel like I know her face
We’re only here for a short time so
Meet me at the divide
Where the sun and the moon share the sky
If this is it for us in this life
Meet me at the divide
A dull blade for your own cheap thrill
Inside this room, I observe from the window sill
A future so absurd
Just picture it as we were
Ears up against the wall
A long way down for a man like me to fall
What more can I lose?
This night relies on you
We’re only here for a short time
Meet me at the divide
Where the sun and the moon share the sky
If this is it for us in this life
Meet me there, oh for just one night
Searching for meaning, you’re a guiding light
If this is it for us in this life
Meet me at the divide
A work of art for an empty heart
Meet me at the divide
Where the sun and the moon share the sky
If this is it for us in this life
Meet me at the divide

I told my mother
This felt different
Than the others that lay here before
She said all the same words
I told my father
I felt different
Than the other that came here before
Hindsight glued to the floor
But hope don't come easy to me
No, hope don't come easy to me
I told my brother
He looked different
Than I had seen him before
Little to know is he
The one who saves me
I told my lover
Something I know that she don't want to hear
That hope don't come easy to me
No, hope don't come easy to me
Lost control of my lungs in the sea
Baby, I'm rushing in the tide
But hope don't come easy to me
No, hope don't come easy to me
Now that it's so plain to see
A hopeless romance just for me
