Home in the day light Cause you want to see your Dad. But you didn't get your papers right So know your feeling mad, Well did you know it's alright to not have it figured out And did you know, it's alright, there is no need to shout. Crawling up the hillside And you want the day to end. But now were on the darker side And you would do it all again. Well did you know it's alright to not have it figured out And did you know, it's alright, there is no need to shout. More prepared then ever But now your not so clever And you roll on your side And you try to keep it all from coming in Always.

In a waking dream I'm by your side at the shore again On the tip of my tongue The warm air and words I have not yet sung The wind nips on my ears and my hands Whispering sweet nothings I can not yet understand But the story persists And you grab hold of my right wrist. Pull me down, And we tumble and roll on the ground The call comes to pass The dogs are barking again The call comes to pass And you know I was changed The call comes to pass I have lost track of the days The call comes to pass And it's no longer the same I have changed in my ways Soon you will be here to stay Assuming you know what I never thought to say I see so clearly now Is the mountain standing in my way Haul myself up its side Squeezing on its features Holding on for my life The only way off is up There is no use for anything like luck Reach the summit or the valley floor Your palm on the knob of the door. The call comes to pass The dogs are barking again The call comes to pass And you know I was changed The call comes to pass I have lost track of the days The call comes to pass And it's no longer the same I have changed in my ways Soon you will be here to stay

High Branch 05:27
Can't shake this feeling I need to leave again Her fingers grip, she is clinging to my sleeve and then.. I am nearly brought down to my knees All sense of reason is just out of reach. I am beginning to feel a little uneasy I have had more then my fill and this guilt don't please me I am lying through my teeth but you all believe me. In the back of my mind I am wondering If he see's me. Trying to drown it out like a coward in the evenings. Let go of me now Go back to the hollow shade Behind your grandfathers house Where the high branch swayed Breathing in and out with the wisdom of days past. Squeeze it out Through the dark All my shame Furious and loud I can't place the name So excitable but naive all the same So excitable, believing in vain. I've got cuts on my hands from the hunger that I chase With physical demands and numbers that I gauge. And I don't expect you to understand these things But I am leaving now and I won't be coming back again I'm leaving now I won't be seeing you again I'm leaving now and you won't be seeing me again All of my life I have been running out of time But I won't chase it down anymore It will never be mine And that's just fine.

Hands 03:08
What do you do when all that you know fits inside your hands? I see the scars and the scabs and the calluses and paths But I still don't understand Oh I still don't understand I still don't understand What do you do when all that you know fits inside you hands? We are all just climbing up a wall and eventually we will fall You will lose grip with your hands Oh riding home for the last time Let down by you for one more night And you fit it all it the palm of you hand In the palm of your hands.

Stuck inside a stangers film Not quite sure how to breathe A luminated, plastic room Sealed shut nowhere to leave. Feet stuck into the ground Shutter speed dreams put me to sleep Codeine candy shaped like the moon Acetaminophen # 3 A crucifix and a plastic spoon No sinner's guilt because it was free. Tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth Taste blood when I try to speak.
