Wailing Trees

Choke on my own name
Strangle and strain
Against this vow of silence
In a wasteland of chaos
See a woman on a cross
Starving hungry in the distance
For mother deep mother deep love
This nightmare begins in a dream
The cage is open but I don't know how to be free
There's no where to run
In a room that's a circle
Chased down by own shadow
The floods are coming
The fires are here
The creatures cry blue murder
I'm going back to the trees
That wail and bleed
Exiled, chained up
Burnt out, held down
Ripped away, torn up
Tortured and Hung
One red rose still breathing
Walk up the third floor
With a clock running backwards
Slowly turn the key and unlock the door
Open up wide and show me your kindness
Curse of Eve
Stain of Mary
The bed as a place of war
Starving hungry for mother deep
Mother deep love
There's nowhere to run
In a cage that's a circle
Chased down by my own shadow
The floods are coming
The fires are here
The creatures cry blue murder
I'm going back to the trees that wail and bleed

Timesickness
05:29
|

The fates are calling
The fates are falling
The maiden, the mother and the crone
From grace
Take me into the light
Drinking in the afterlife
Sign my name in blood
Save yourself while you can
Why so pale
Why so thin
Why do you stare at the walls
Is it the time sickness
Is it the time sickness
Yesterday has no face
Reading the bible of the nameless
Bedridden white lies
What are you trying to hide
The eleventh hour is here
The world is overrun and underpaid
All this seeing
All this knowing
is giving me
The time sickness
The time sickness
Cursed by the ones
Who have gone before
Baptized in mud
An orphan walking upstream
Stuck in the slumber of limbo
Deaf and blind
Waiting in between all these lifetimes
Why so pale
Why so thin
Why do you stare at the walls
Is it the time sickness
Is it the time sickness
Chatter of teeth
Strung out like pearls
Falling from your mouth like empty words
Heaven and Hell live within
Is it the time sickness
Is it the time sickness

Sister sister
Why do you cry
The man I love has gone and died
All I have left of that man
Is a heart still beating alive in a box under my bed
Sister Sister
Why do you wail
The moonlight within me is streaming pale
The snow will fall on the ground
The blood will seep deep deep down
I can hear his heart like a clock
No sleep I will find
Sister Sister
Why do you moan
I have no one to talk to only the ghost
Where are you now
Are you near
Are you close
How to reach the other side
While still living
Sister Sister
Why do you cry
The man I love is dead and gone
All I have left of that man
Is a heart still beating alive
In a box under my bed
Sister Sister
Why so still
Are you sick
Are you ill
Are you wailing still
Eyes like water
Eyes wide shut
The silence the silence
Is blooming like blood
By the time you find me
I'll be with the man I love
Listen, listen closer still
Two hearts beat as one

Ballad in Blues

Six feet deep
Thirteen hours long
Weeping willows
Never sway
Belladonna poison
Cries out in vain
I can taste the sunlight
In every bone
I can hear the moon
Burning through the soul
The sky is sinking and slipping away
The heart is warm
The hand is cold
The window of pain
Pours light in every wound
The air shivers in memories lost
What is forgotten still has a cost

Forever and ever

Lonely nights are over
Don't you know
You belong to me
You're innocent
In this dream called life
Blind as a bat in your faith
All the mornings we've shared
And the seasons we've seen
Will keep on turning around
Our roots will twist together
And the love we share will never run dry
The rain won't cry forever
The sun will still shine when you die
Well I feel as old as soil
And as young as springtime
So walk on through the doorway
And come home to me
Well I know every line
On your face
And the workings of your mind
The arms of the waves were pulling him under
It felt like the warmth of drinking wine
With someone you love
He was just lying in his bed
Holding his wife
Forever and ever
The end

Sun and Moon
03:52

The sun and the moon
Shine in your eyes
Switch and blade
With no one to despise
Hand me you gun
Hand me you knife
Before you step foot in that door
The war you fight won't live for long
The lullaby lie dying in your eyes
The savior is the truth
With a hand on your shoulder
The father won't see
What the son has become
The mother of the world
Has been dead too long
How can I crawl back inside you
Who needs violence
When it's all you know
Love is what you breathe
And not what you own
The darkness within me
Is safe and warm
The Sun and the moon
Shine in your eyes
Switch and blade
With no one to despise
Hand me you gun
Hand me you knife
Before you step foot in that door
I'm looking and looking only to find
My own face staring back in time
Scorned and scorched
With hell to pay
I'm going back to the place
I was born
The blood of life
Torn from sleep
The first time it rained
I drank deep
Everything you thought you knew
Is ash turned to stone

In a cloud of fury
Lies a heart of gold
Loneliness is an illness
With no one to have or hold
Many friends turn to none
Hanging on a thread when they call
I'm lonely for a place
I can call home
I'm lonely for a place
I don't know
But only feel
In the early hours
Drinking and driving
Into the smoke of the sunrise
The bride is on the loose
Which way is the free way
Crown of hair
A circle of eyes
There's a storm brewing out there
The clown of many tears
Tries every joke he can find
If only the phone would ring once or twice
An over grown child in a man
I'm lonely for a place
I can call home
I'm lonely for a place
I don't know but only feel
In the early hours
We sit at the table
Lifetimes apart
Every bite is painful
From a plateful of cold love
There's a trace of silver
In her voice when she leaves
A pocket full of starlight
For a rainy day
I've packed my bags and said goodbye
And handed over the key
You think the worst
Of the one you love the most
I'm lonely for a place
I can call home
Lonely for a place
I don't know
Only feel in the early hours
