Melting Clocks
03:40
|

Don’t try to pretend you know what it’s like
Or walk in shoes that don’t fit
Feel pain for miles you never ran
Underground there is no one to be found
Neither them, nor you
The clocks that can save you are melting away
So cherish the branches that keep them in place
When you’re dead and gone
It won’t be your picture that hangs on the wall
Underground there is no one to be found
Neither them, nor you

Bare me raw, vulnerable
To the cold that fills my thought
Make me take it longer than
You thought you could, my love
I’m a devious jailbird
With bedsheets for a nest
Carrying three little words
That don’t fit in its chest:
Heartbreak, heartburn or a heart attack
I see your face lighten with every word I sing
But I’m frightened the air will turn thin
And you’ll last hear my hymn:
Heartbreak, heartburn or a heart attack

My Grandmother's Words
03:32
|

Once, my grandmother said while making my bed
“No one’s meant to wonder in vain”
I cherish these words when I’m at my worst
When I fail to keep pain at bay
[The voices she hears at night]
Waltz through the dimmest light
[And as she feels so alone]
I take pride in my lonely soul
[But as the walls start caving in]
My sorrow becomes my sin
[And the only escape from her curse]
Lies in my grandmother’s words
Once, my grandmother said while brushing my hair
“Honey, you’re meant…”

By The End

|

By the end, dear, of your road
You won’t have a great deal to hold
There’s no hole in your grave
For your soul
You should care not to drink with no measure
Down there it’s all for the maggots
There’s no hole in your grave
For your pleasure
So sacrifice the body you have under
For the sake of your devoted other
And there may be a hole in your grave
For your lover
