How you doin now?

 The snow is really coming down

The wind is whistling all around

I'm wondering how you're doing now

But I'm guessing you don't care

Did I say this already

Are you a fable, or a myth, an ancient monolith?

Forgotten on the bottom of some troubled little stream?

Do I remember you from different times, or has something older got behind me and slipped around it with no sound?

Cuz I’d follow you down

If you’d follow me down

I’d stop throwin all that sound if you’d simply come around 

But if you’d follow me to hell then I’d be better in between although the soot chokes out the daylight when they burn the whole place clean

Please forgive me I know it’s a bitter way to say goodbye. 

Go dry your eyes.



I can see the light is leaving now, even vacant in your eyes

Can you tell the difference clearer there between the sunset and sunrise?

Here the hills are mist and color, but they’re losing all their leaves to the ground.

And I’d stop coming around 

If you stop coming around

I’d be toiling underground if you were up above the clouds 

And if you’d follow me to heaven then I’d meet you in between although the daylights not so dirty there as the streets surrounding me.

Please forgive me

I know there’s better ways to say goodbye

You can close your eyes.

Life is Heavy

Can't carry it alone

walking home with your punches thrown

Holding your guilt like a broken bone

You can’t forgive

you buried it away but it still eats at ya

you can’t forget if you can't forgive

All those times you were lying to yourself

While you were lying in the dark 

Thinking you were someone else


you lost your grip

your body was strong but your fingers slipped 

battlin' demons ain't for ya kid 

now your heart is split

between a thief and a suffragette

maybe it's time you called it quits

All those miles that you carried it alone

now you've carried it too far

thinking you could hold your own


can't carry it alone

walking home with your punches thrown

pain in your heart like a broken bone
