The stars were tripping on a Tuesday night I didn t know that it was cold I got so high that the seasons changed I watched as silver turned to gold I dreamed my life I was chasing it down It didn t have no place to go I shoulda known I woke the devil up I shoulda heard the engine groan The road was shaking but my hands were still The lights were dancing on their own I lit the dash I took my sun glasses off I like to see that fucker glow Remember after school at the Skyler Park Trading in our stories for the dark In our heads in our own way Remember Megan with her make up off She made us dream she got us off It was good that she moved away I took a right onto Maple Hill Somebody laughing in the wind I should have felt the rain on my left hand I should have heard the devil grin Lightning came from the other side I could see the steel explode The sound of thunder covered up my eyes An engine screaming in my nose The moon was raining down broken glass I didn t know I left the radio on Until I heard it singing from the mud Then I saw them standing 'round this little boy Pale blue skin in his corduroy Pumping his life they were holding on Then I heard the walls as they began to weep His naked body had gone to sleep I saw an old woman hit the floor My head was gone But my clothes were on I left my body in the car I listened hard for the voice of God I didn t hear nothin' at all It was a sunset like I'd never seen I could almost see the end I tried to reach it but I blew it away Then it all turned black again And I was a runner more than half my life I was a track star back in '95 I was full almost a man And I had a girlfriend back before I died The peeled her off from my wounded side I could feel her empty hands

Cradle more The hours reel Cradle more How you feel Baby, you're still too proud to come down Maybe I'm still too loud to hear All the waves ascend and disappear Like a storm The air you steal Glacial form The icy heel Baby, you're still too proud to come down Maybe I'm still too loud to hear All the waves ascend and disappear Earth is born To wound and heal Cradle more The hours reel Baby, you're still too proud to come down Maybe I'm still too loud to hear All the waves ascend and disappear

Through your eyes I see A smile you bring to me To your joy, I tether Not a lot, just forever Intertwined, sewn together Like the rock bears the weather Not a lot, just forever My dog barks wildly To protect my infancy From my ex-believer And I try to calm the wolf To remind her I am both Still she tears at my sweater Not a lot, just forever Intertwined, sewn together As the wren sheds her feather Not a lot, just forever And your dearest fantasy Is to grow a baby in me I could be a good mother And I wanna be your wife So I hold you to my knife And I steal your letter Not a lot, just forever Intertwine some together As the rock bears the weather Not a lot, just forever So I bash around the house And the poison stains my mouth She comes, I let her And we share a paradise And I roll them once or twice Can't get much better Not a lot, just forever Intertwined, sewn together As the rock bears the weather Not a lot, just forever Not a lot, just forever Intertwined, sewn together As the wren bares her feathers Not a lot, just forever

What a dream that was I almost couldn't wake because I was frozen in bed with a zombie girl Vacant as a closed down fair Sleep paralysis, I sworn I could've felt you there And I almost could've kissed your hair But the emptiness withdrew me From any kind of wishful prayer Oh, emptiness Tell me 'bout your nature Maybe I've been getting you wrong I cover you with questions Cover you with explanations Cover you with music Then the next night Dreaming I could feel your skin But the dream escaped so easily And I wokе up to the road again How your words ring through Something kinda sweet and blue And I knеw that you'd been understanding Everything that I'd said, too About emptiness Tell me 'bout your nature Maybe I've been getting you wrong I cover you with questions Cover you with explanations Cover you with music What's on your mind? What's on your mind? What's on your mind? What's on your mind? On your mind
