As the warmth of the sun leaves my back. And these bruise-coloured skies turn to black. None of these faces look the same. But not a one knows my name.
Your gut says "turn away and walk back the way you came". That these words are not for those awake. I watch your feet step through the fallen leaves. And I hear your heart by its broken beat.
Well, the men arrived as the sun began to set. And they pulled a wooden crate. 'bout six feet long. I could read the news in their downcast eyes. My boy had passed away.
You, beneath the bed, I know all your tricks. I've seen you watching. I've seen you drifting away. I've seen you floating along. I've seen you disappear.
grandma's singing in the bedroom. it's a near forgotten lullaby. that she used to sing when I wasn't well. father's outside chopping firewood. like he did when he'd been drinking.
Well, I left my home on hollow bones. While you were curled and sleeping. And I wandered far beneath a concrete star. And slept along the highways. . But even though I am lost all the time.
I can hear the car. As it rumbles up the driveway. But I'm too scared to look,. So I curl up beneath the window. And I pray they won't find me. And I pray that I'll keep still.
I was born when they took my name. When the world turned wicked, when I joined their game. But I turned and fought them. Like you always knew I'd do. .
I've got no need for open roads. 'Cause all I own fits on my back. I see the world from rusted trains. And always know I won't be back. . 'Cause all my life is wrapped up in today.
So we start with my father as a boy barely spoke a word of english fell in. love from a distance he watched her working from the back fence. He learned some words and some clever turns of phrase from his father's.
When you last left me my blood was in a jar. And you kept it on your mantelpiece. I couldn't count on anyone to stand there behind me. And keep the dogs from dragging me off with them.
Dreams like coins down a well. Till I realized I was dumb for believing. To the bird with no flight. The skies don't ever offer respite. . So I wandered off.
Back when I used to wander, I was always out looking for signs. But they were never there, so I'd pull 'em from the air. We all believed in something, but like you I can't say why.
The hole in the floor boards. The cot near the front door. The moon was gone; from side the world was dark as nightmares. You took all my fears and,. You wrapped them in wonders.

There, along the road, was a tiny home. The yard held dead machines behind its fences. Like they were its kids. Broken down, but still worth a lot to someone.
We were tight knit boys. Brothers in more than name. You would kill for me. And knew that I'd do the same. And it cut me sharp. Hearing you'd gone away.
All is well now. Pay no mind. All is well now. I'm just fine. I'm just fine. . It's only blood; I have plenty left. It's only blood; I just need to rest.
It's hard to keep the rainclouds out. When the windows never close. The house feels like a graveyard now. Like the floorboards hide the bones. . And I have lost your face.
My feet pull on. From light to dawn. My empty belly in my body aches. Ain't hard to take. Next to the weight I carry in my chest. A pound of flesh. Could never tip the scale that I've made.
