Is It Still Snowing?

01 The Cave!

The Cave!

Is it still snowing at your place
Is there blue in the fire
Are there clouds on the coast
The walls of the cave are glowing with ghosts

From deep in the flames where your darkened eyes meet me
You blow the black ashes and you sleep in the black Sea
The wind blows your cradle and whispers discreetly

Let cold lakes be cold
And let dark sky's be dark
Let wolves lay in the warm winter light
Let the ends of the days be the night

Is it still snowing at your place
Or is it just cold rain
Is there ice on the rocks
Have the oceans all swallowed the ships by the dock

The lanterns are swaying with night all around them
The whole town is sleeping but you're on the mountain
When the sun shoots on up from the sea like a fountain

Let cold lakes be cold
Let dark days be dull
Let the pretty brown bucks find their way in a fight
Let the ends of the days be the night

Bright Paw

I stayed out in the pines until it got dark
I let the lightning build up deep inside my chest
I laid my hands across the body of an animal who knew me so well

The lightlessness crawled down her throat and latched on in the depths below
You'd mentioned you'd be happy this way
The frozen glow inside her bones is withering away
You could see me lying lifeless in her fangs

Your paws are bright and I hold on

There's a darkness in your stomach and it's burning
As your bleeding claws are living in my neck
You look just like the night looks and your mind is so far away from me
For years you've been iced over and the fire is so far away
You look just like the nights looks
You look just like the night looked at me
For years you've been iced over and the fire is so far away

03 Where's The Wolf

Where's The Wolf

Where's the wolf
I lost him on a winter's day
Where's the wolf
I never really saw his face
I only felt his fur
And I only heard him say
"No one has to live this way"
Oh wolf don't you know
No one really has a say
Get away from the human race

Where's the wolf
I thought I'd find him in his cave
Where's the wolf
I thought I'd see him in the rain
Between my ribs
His body slowly rots away
Behind my eyes
I see him standing far away

04 Enchanting Light

Enchanting Light

It's louder when it's cold out
Highway noise is something that you just can't live without
It keeps me sleeping and it keeps me awake
It keeps me in the city when I'm swimming in a lake

Enchanting light hold me on the long drive home

From the mountains with the chewed up stars
The trees are like a veil and I see lights on cars
It keeps me happy but mostly insane
The sky is solid grey like a concrete slate

Enchanting light hold me on the long drive home

There's firewood in the back of the truck
I'm laying on the driveway and the summers almost up
In the black of my eyes you'll see
Yellow fireworks and a high school halloween

Enchanting light hold me on the long drive home

05 Sadder Than Saturn

Sadder Than Saturn

I watched the night fly along before my eyes
Through a lens of shattered moons and silver skies
I held the hand of the person I despise
I shut my mouth and held her hand and closed my eyes
You said you'd run away and so did I
Said you were sadder than Saturn
You shouted at your mom but didn't cry
though you were sadder
Much sadder than me

We took our leave along the road
We held out our small thumbs
At the corner store we cut our hair
And stole the keeper's gun
On the lam we ran and ran
We were sure to get away
Our eyes were black there's no way back
Sadder than Saturn

So there we sat by the fire In July
With bruises on our knees and we had dirt behind our eyes
I said, " I hate you why'd you bring us here to die?"
While I slept you left a note and ran away for one last time
You said you didn't want to go alone
Said you were sadder than Saturn
You said, "sorry if I ruined your day or week or month or year
I had planned to say goodbye before I let a single tear fall"

I never saw your face again until this very night
I didn't say a word to you
I watched you from across the room
You drank your drink and showed your teeth
And broke a couple cups
Your eyes were black and mine were too
Sadder than Saturn

06 Shark Skin Blues

Shark Skin Blues

You talk like shark skin and radios
I squeezed your hand with broken glass and I left you all alone
Everything Is concrete and medicine
The snow falls on my casket and it leaves me all alone
When I die bury me in a pinkish glow
Beneath a starry choir and a dark blue sky

We're all just sick and dying
One more pill and you'll be fine
Our shark skin blues are breeding
And there's nothing behind my eyes
We're all just bleeding slowly
From the hooks stuck through our jaws
Our shark skin blues are breeding It's the worst thing I ever saw

I was born with wings growing out from my spine
It goes the same way for everyone
We all lose our shine
Now it's cold with my hands wrapped around this warm cup
The mornings all look the same and the moon shows no mercy
When she burns like a candle
Down my back
She'll wax and she'll wane but she'll never be coming back

07 Colline Electrique

Colline Electrique

Colline Electrique
Breathing through porous potential and a fog I can't see
A burning mystique
Picked up on the highway beneath
a murderous moon we both need
To be whole again

So hold it inside of your stomach
It's cold out tonight
Just hold on to me and I'll know you're alright
Colline Electrique
Just swim down and swallow your life
Like a star falling down from his light
I'll sleep on this hill just as long as it takes
And the weather can wash me away

Colline electrique
Your ghost is breathing through me
You swim through my lungs
Drag me underneath
Pull on my heart til it tears
Hold on to my tongue like you do
And we'll walk away

08 The Big Sound

The Big Sound

The trees were rattled by sound
And it ripped them down the street
It tugged at the lungs of those across the world
And the mountains all stopped at his feet
The oceans all rose and flowed
Until the rocks cut steep
I need to go somewhere high up
Or else I won't ever get to sleep

When The Clouds Broke Away

There's nothing in this room
But a light that's pale and blue
I saw you once before when the lightning bloomed
There's nothing in this city
The lighting barely missed me
I saw you when the clouds broke away
This city holds my heart
In her slick and glowing hands
Nurse my bleeding wrist and softly sing

11 Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo

The lights are strung like stars
Above us
Your last show in this city
Your last show in the state for a while
The first night of the summer
And the moon is clouded over
And I'm sorry I missed the fire
Let this moment last forever
Let this feedback in our ears
never end
I won't see you In New York

I love you please feel happier soon
I love you
