מילות השיר
4AM
I’ve tricked myself
to grand illusions
from panic attacks
to institutions
where breathing is as hard
as fighting the wind
I’ve poured myself
into her arms
clinging to that cryptic charm
where all I am and
all I was
means nothing
Trajectory of a wounded heart
beating to a pulp
in the early morning
I’ve built myself
another wall
there’s no name
upon the door
A hungry hunter
looking for time to kill
Wash away my mortal sins
savor all these broken dreams
all you are is
everything
in the early morning
Kill The Messenger
More than living I’ve been
passing my time
hiding in a trail
of memories
when you’re locked in a prison
too long
freedom’s found in walls
and gravity
Count my days
plan my getaway
get my gun
kill the messenger
More than feeling I’ve been
burning my thoughts
A moth to a light
in the distance
only when you’re blind you are
connecting the dots
freedom’s found where
nothing else is
Count my days
plan my getaway
get my gun
kill the messenger
Until the lights go out
Until my burden dies
Until my body breaks
Until I save her eyes
I should have saved your eyes
More than living I’ve been
passing my time
hiding in a trail
of memories
Law Of Conservation
The law of conservation
while standing a the water’s edge
A hymn that’s now forbidden
A melody that’s dead
I’ll find you someday baby
through the willows
through the sand
torch the cities
with my burning heart
bring the walls
upon your bed
I say
Ashes to ashes
watery eyes upon setting suns
Dust to dust
embrace the grudge until the damage is done
I’ve been roaming like a lost prayer
been sleeping like a rain dog
I’m a man of many sins my love
but sainthood ain’t no virtue
tribulation is the devil’s way of
sending his regards
a ball and chain tied to my legs
in this wilderness of shrugs
I say
Ashes to ashes
watery eyes upon setting suns
Dust to dust
embrace the grudge until the damage is done
Trading war stories
cut ‘till we bleed
an open wound
drink ourselves to sleep
sleep ourselves to dream
dream ourselves to death
die so we could feel alive
I’m the ticking of the clock
that you can’t hide away
I’m the shaking of your bones
that always seems to stay
I’m the nail inside your foot
that makes you moan and cry
I’m the crown of rusty thorns
on your journey to the sky
Wake
Once you are
baffled
and the mirror won’t recognize
your face
abrasive and
redundant
in the decay of
what you’ve left
And she weeps
upon my shoulder
writing poems
of regret
won’t be defined
by the promise of forgiveness
by that mirror echoing
her grace
Wake
before dawn
another unwritten song
Once you are
condemned
and your heart becomes
as heavy as your thoughts
bleeding all the hope
you never thought you’d have
so you could write
upon the walls
And she’s begging
with a tired voice
for me to guide her
to the end
to let her go
of the pain that has possessed
every song she
ever sang
Wake
before dawn
another unwritten song
Doctrines Of Solitude
Doctrines Of Solitude
It seems you got lost
in your doctrines of solitude
for Juliet might be sun
you are but an eclipse
In this doubt
pushing the floor
just to feel it close
in this war
you reap what you sow
in this war
you reap what you sow
‘till it’s gone
Again
Hard Rain
And it’s a hard rain a’falling
when blue eyes turn to gray
you’re not what you were hoping
but you never went astray
They teach you to walk
so you wouldn’t fly
they teach you to hate
without knowing why
and it’s a hard rain’s a’falling
You can’t fight your shadow
after dark
but you can’t pretend it
isn’t there
pictures of you in
your silk robe
pictures of me with
my head in my hands
and it’s a hard rain’s a’falling
I don’t belong here
it gets under my skin
and sets fire to my bones
back to the sea
it was conceived by her tears
I’ll swim until my breath unfolds
and it’s a hard rain’s a’falling
And I still love you
I still crave
what I can’t touch
still burn at night
with the yellow moon
still howl in grief
with the mournful sun
and it’s a hard rain’s a’falling
Mistress Of The Loneliest Disciple
And every time I got
lost in you
lost in this
and every time I drowned
from the weight
in my chest
and all this time I’ve seen
her life
fade away
I can no longer
tell the nights
from my days
Will it cleanse me
waiting for the cracks
to finally open
wait for me
mistress of the
loneliest disciple
And all the days I’ve spent
in my head
in my bed
maybe should have spent
them all with you
instead
crawling on my belly
turning on my back
it’s still the same
it’s coming back
Will it cleanse me
waiting for the cracks
to finally open
wait for me
mistress of the
loneliest disciple
Wait for me
The Roof Is Full Of Holes
Well the roof is full of holes
I said the roof is full of holes now
Oh the roof is full of holes
it’s that loop of space and time
streaming down my spine
into the ground
they’re all screaming in the halls
but the echoes have no sound
water’s dripping in my soul
waters quench the thirst inside
and still the roof is full of holes
I said the roof is full of holes now
All your loved ones are drowning
you jump inside to save them
but you can’t stay afloat
with the weight of all your sadness
the gloating of your hopes
mockery of deliverance
you eat and shit and sleep
until you die
And god has left the building
and he set the world on fire
he pours whiskey down his throat
and sings with numb desire
a hymn for all believers
so desperate and tired
while fumbling their wives
and getting stoned
And still the roof is full of holes
I said the roof is full of holes now
and every war is holy
as long as you keep fighting
every crime’s a precept
as long as you keep lying
so pick up all your guns
and lets commence the firing
just don’t you be surprised when
the roof is full of holes
And She Weeps
And she weeps
a cloud
in the sky
on the first rain
of the year
through the streets
when the stores
are all closed
and the people
are trying to breath
I’ve lost all my blood
I’ve lost all my soul
at your feet
and she weeps
fate is there
by the door
waiting to claim
what you’ve preached
in the night
it will come
making the bed
for your sleep
I begged for forgiveness
I begged for your eyes
in my dreams
in my dreams
I’ve been waiting too long
at the gates of your dawn
but nobody comes
but nobody comes
and she weeps
like a cloud
in the sky
on the last rain
of the year
nothing is clear
nothing is there
but her tears
I can hold you
for ages
smother you pain
with my fear
will you weep?
Grievance
To your door I arrived
out of grievance
a stone yet unturned
as your love
a stain to forever
cloud my confessions
on my way
to the valley below
for more than your
heart I can’t promise
as greed or resentment
or both
have come to salvage
my failing attempt
to embrace all the
tears that you’ve poured
out of my sadness
you’ll plummet
harvest my seeds
at your home
for more than your heart
I can’t promise
I might as well
leave you to roam
I might as well
leave you to roam
Brother
When the sun went down
you were there
humble and hurting
alone and astray
windows paint all your paintings
walls are singing your tunes
you’ve tasted the amber, no
you’re nobody’s fool
for you are my brother
teacher of lessons that could
never be taught
troubled and anguished
but never afar
in the end of November
through the dusk of our souls
we became walking tombstones
in the relics we roam
everything we’ve lost is
like a candle in your shaking hands
we’re drifters in a dead end street
wondering when this road will end
for you are my brother
a rock against the wind
in it’s endless cries
dissolving the sadness
with tears in your eyes
for all of your graces
are bound to be cherished
by the ones that you love
a cradle of peace
in a turbulent sky
for you are my brother
Photograph
Is this the way
you’re picking time
like plastic flowers
is this the line
between your anger
and your silence
How much time
do we have?
Driving in my car
into the
forest
‘till we can’t see
the sky
just hear their laughter
How much time
do we have?
You told me that
your heart
is wrapped in silence
screaming in itself
no one will
hear
I once saw it
breaking into
pieces
pouring out your eyes
and melt your
skin
How much time
do we have?
How much time?
