Long Story Short

The King Will Come

In the fire, the king will come. Thunder rolls, piper and drum. Evil sons, overrun. Count their sins, judgment comes. . The checkerboard of nights and days.

The Day I Found Your Love

When I was a stranger to you in the night. And the feeling tells you, out of sympathy. To open up your wings, turn your head to the sky. Take off like a bird, let your heart be free.

Like Trumpets

Enough pictures drawn in the sand. Of everything we wish we'd been. Just to watch them wash out when the waters rise. . Enough careless talk about giving up.

That's That

What can I say?. My position is clear. When it comes to you. I got the right idea.. I just can't stand you. For one more day -. When daylight breaks. I'll be miles away..

In A Bottle

When did life assume the shape of a TV screen,. A work-horse work week, and commute in between?. As we masquerade the days we waste,. Love's stuck on dusty shelves with feelings we forsake..

Gun For Hire

If these walls had words. I'd fear the things they'd say when I'm not around.. Crashing image, painting me failure.. Because I've sold myself a slave..

Tales Of The Wise

Any fool must surely know. You plant a seed and it will grow. But only if you tend it well. It's as the wise men so do tell. . The end will justify the means.

Elevens

Please tell me how we did this. We got ourselves into such a mess again. We've fought so long. We can't remember what the hell it was all about. . I can't count the times I've turned around.

Closets

I'll hold my tongue,. There has been enough double talk to double cross every bridge we've ever walked.. Watch them burn along with love lost, empty words withdrawn, confidence replaced with doubt..

Bridges And Gaps

i can't believe what i see,. it's so unreal the way you treat your friends,. and the fire you breathe, the words you speak. it's your disregard for love or maybe yourself... you have.

Surface To Air

Surface, surface, surface,. It's beginning to show.. To air, to air, to air,. To where you can go.. Abrasion can wear you away.. All you wanted was to go out and play..

Streets Of Shame

I was a long way from home, on the streets of shame,. Where the women in cages play any kind of game.. That's when I saw her, and I looked into her eyes -.

Bottoms Up

Call me the song beating in your heart,. The needles mark, scrape, and pry,. Damage is done, when all these cuts bleed dry,. I'll have your glory carved on my chest and arms,.

All Hope Aside

Winding roads and wrong turns. With the flip of a coin your hopes come crashing down. . It's easy to be bitter when clarity becomes a cloud. Plans have turned into pieces, your friends have let you down.

A New War

Will we see the day when the trees that we hang our heads from,. Hit the ground like dead men's love songs,. Offering another history of privilege and open doors?.

Strange Affair

I had enough of this strange affair. Tried so hard but we got nowhere.. You drag me down, what you doing it for?. I can't handle it anymore.. Why, oh why won't you hear me?.

Standing In The Rain

Flying through the sky. His true love waits.. Lonely time's gone by.. There's a problem at the border. He learns they won't let him through.. . She was standing in the rain..

20 Strong

So it's been weeks and I can't help but stop and think,. These rooms seem cold without you.. Memories turned salty cheeks,. I still feel the flames you held beneath my feet..

Stand & Deliver

The wind and the moon are behind me. I feel like a highway man of old. Don't give no mercy I don't need no alibi. I'm out to pick me some love from the jewelled sky.
