Here we are again and I'm looking up your sleeve
You could mean anything but you're just mean to me
Under the mirror where the light won't lie (4X)
Trees are leaning in and I'm opening my arms
The smell of red calls the spirits in to calm
Under the mirror where the light won't lie (4X)
Now that I mention it
Where did you go?
Coming up empty
Go it alone
If I could just interrupt
A lifetime ago
Coming up empty
A compass home
Looking out the back of the ambulance
Siren light and bandages
Think about the time you picked me up
Trooper said, "Kid, why you do that for?"
Trooper said, "Kid, what you do that for?"
Nurse said, "Kid, what you do that for?"
Betadine brown, itchy stitch
If you were here now would you hold my hand?
"What's your blood type?"
"What you do that for?"
Red stained white around the floor
"Live free or die."
"What you do that for?"
If you were here now would you hold my hand?
Under the mirror where the light won't lie (3X)
If you were here now would you hold my hand?
Think about the time you picked me up
Siren light and bandages
Siren light and bandages
If you were here now would you hold my hand?
Under the mirror where the light won't lie (3X)
"Live free or die."
"What you do that for?"
I know you're here (4X)
You were always enough

Indebted
02:32
|
|||
Love you so bad and it won't go away
Lend me your light, lend me your light
Indebted or wedded or betted, I'll pay
Lend me your light, lend me you light
One is a mountain, one is a man
Lend me your light, lend me your light
I will fall down to your feet when I land
Sleep with one eye shut
Open your window
I don't need anything more
Keeping the light out
Where do the years go?
I don't need anything more
Now is the time, you know me so well
Coal in the mine, the belly of hell
Buried in song, winterlong
I always come home when it hurts enough
I won't mind if you don't mind too
Sleep with one eye shut
Open your window
I don't need anything more
Keeping the light out
Where do the years go?
I don't need anything more
Lend me your light, lend me your light
Indebted or wedded or betted, I'll pay (8X)

Bombs Away
04:02
|
|||
You are never far enough away
I got mad and emptied out your plate
Bombs away. bombs away
In the time when everything was free
All that empty silence let us be
Bombs away. bombs away
Such a shame, don't you let me go
Such a shame, don't you let me go
Such a shame
When everything you love goes to the birds
Don't tear through the pages for the words
They're just bombs away. bombs away
Such a shame, don't you let me go
Such a shame, don't you let me go
Such a shame
Bombs away

White Horse
03:23
|
|||
They'll come again next time with armies
I swore I felt your breath behind me
All my money is on the white horse
One day, one day
All my money is on the white horse
One day, one day
I saw her running through the smoke
Shards of moonlight on the lake
We share a strange kind of hope
One day, one day
All my money is on the white horse
One day, one day
All my money is on the white horse
One day, one day
And it's your light through which I pass
You left your ghost here
And you're a beast I'll never catch
One day, one day

For the Left
02:39
|
|||
And you're another war to fight
Is there any left to the left? To the left
Is there an ending somewhere?
You're in the wrongs I never right
When there's an anvil falling
You move a little left, to the left, to the left
The legends were lying
Never gonna be ignored
The tyranny of silence
Never gonna be ignored
Swear to God I'm trying
Never gonna be ignored
When the ceiling is your horizon
When the ceiling is your horizon, blink
Consider your nerve, to come to my bed
Pity you, I pity you, I pity your eyes
Hollow and thin, low oxygen
Pity you, I pity you, I pity your eyes
Pity you, I pity you, I pity your eyes
Pity you, I pity you, goodbye
When the ceiling's your horizon
When the ceiling's your horizon, blink
For the left (8X)

People Starve
03:08
|
|||
People starve, mind open wide
Everyone is around and you're selling by the pound
Yeah, you're shrinking by the pound
People starve, mind open wide
Crumbling to the ground, you vanish by the pound
Yeah, you leave me by the pound
People starve, mind open wide

Fire, the Bully
03:22
|
|||
By yourself, by yourself
A body kissing me
We're double lines apart
Fire the bully
It's a burning old, but modern
Red coal in my gut
Fire the bully
Fire the bully, fire the bully
The "me" they're looking for is somewhere out at sea
Under the ocean
What's a miracle to me?
I haven't even showered and it's nearly evening
Fire the bully (guide us home) fire the bully (guide us home)
Under the ocean
Fire the bully (guide us home) fire the bully (guide us home)
Under the ocean
By yourself, by yourself
Under the ocean
By yourself, by yourself
You goddamn kids don't know what you're missing (12X)

For the Love of God
03:40
|
|||
I define God as the face of a child
But you'd leave your eyes when you were out there wild
Even then, you were a deity
You scratch and you pull and you float around,
But I'll be right here when you come back down
I'd be lying if I said I knew the way
Cry for the love of God
And don't ask why, for the love of God
Always a veil I could never lift
Though I got you everything on your Christmas list
Colored lights come back to me now
Pick up the phone for the love of God
Come back home for the love of God
The world the weight of everything, I hear you in that hollow ring
Bear the weight of everything, I hear you in that hollow ring
This is how we end up fine, your blood is always mine
On my shoulders sitting tall, there you will not fall
I define God as an old-soul girl
That I brought into a darkened world
But you're my light, you'll always be my light
Shine for the love of God
You're always mine, for the love of God
Sleep, for the love of God
Weep, for the love of God
Sleep, sleep

Always Enough
03:40
|
|||
You were always enough
You were always enough
Come back down here
You were always enough
You are home to me
You are home to me
You are home to me
Whether you like it or not (2x)
I would say nothing if you want to stay
Either running on empty
Or you're running away
In your doubt an inventory
In your dominance a loss
Running and you're running
Never learn what you're not (2x)
You were always enough
You were always enough
Come back down here
You were always enough
You are home to me
You are home to me
You are home to me
Whether you like it or not
You were always enough
You were always enough
Come find me down here
You were always enough
You are home to me
You are home to me
You are home to me
Whether you like it or not
I would say nothing if you want to stay
Either running on empty
Or you're running away
In my doubt an invitation
In my arms I hold proof
It wasn't an illusion
I bled for you (2X)
I would say nothing if you want to stay
I would say nothing if you want to stay
