CONVERGE
Jane Doe
Concubine Dear, I'll stay gold just to keep these pasts at bay To keep the loneliest of the nights from claiming you and to keep these longest day from waking you For I felt the greatest of winters coming and I saw you as seasons shifting from blue to gray Thats where the coldest of these days await me and distance lays her heavy head beside me There I'll stay gold, forever gold
Fault And Fracture You were the most beautiful as the damage and the trauma Pounding hard with battered wings of destiny You were my last great war You were my heaven ablaze Riddled with faults and fractures And I spent the last of days burning my oldest of bridges And I spent my last of night killing the best of friends In the company of thieves, liars, beggars and whores I'll lay waiting, just waiting for my time to come
Distance And Meaning And like that heart that got in the way I'll become the lost cause The children of burden and rage Like the distance in your touch Like the years were burned down I heard that phone call The hesitation, the awkward silence I felt everything in those seconds Splinters of sentence and heartless advice Nothing is changed but these days entwined
Hell To Pay Cheap lips, soft eyes, lost in the most blinding lights As cold as those first nights alone As the second best hell become Sleep deep girl, dream well That night I think he cried himself to sleep Just maybe he felt more than we could ever know And I think he pulled that trigger to empty that memory I think he cut the weight to end the floods of you Let him soar, let him ride as budding gravestone do Just sleep, girl, just dream well
Homewrecker I have bled and I have given the longest of rivers and the longest of ropes And you're not grasping and my light is sinking on the horizon Knee deep among your wreckage and uncertainty with anguish my crown and heartbreak my throne I lay claim to this day No love, no hope I've lost count of the second chances I lay claim to this day No love, no hope
The Broken Vow Those nights we had and the trust we lost The sleep that fled me and the heart I lost It all reminds me just how callous and heartless the true cowards are And I write this for the loveless And for the risks we take I'll take my love to the grave As tired and worn it is I'll take my love to the grave Bitter and Then Some Death to cowards, traitors, and empty words To those adorned with the touch of rose petals And the blessed gift of forgetfulness For these are your years and days to outshine Push on and soar higher This is your memory Your everything and the inbetween Push on and soar higher
Heaven In Her Arms Death was a simple glance across a dim lit room And those eyes did it Those three words did it Those three words killed him And I surrender to you Forgive me for the sadness And the bringing of you down I just needed a lover and I needed a friend And there you were Running from forever like all the rest Three simple words bled me dry Three simple word bled us dry I love you
Phoenix In Flight And I write this to you my dear For your eyes alone I'm out of heart and these tanks are low So cast your days to flame and set your phoenix to flight Let her turn to ash among these fluorescent lights Let your love drift deeper let her wings catch the sky Just remember my name, girl and remember what died
Phoenix In Flames She burns as bright as the sun and she falls darker than night She shines as light as these days And she fades faster than time Phoenix in flames
Thaw In the want, the need, and this desperation You'll find me as the time bomb As the last great stand in this history When all our roads traveled And all have come to a most bitter end Today I thaw
Jane Doe These floods of you are unforgiving Pushing passed me spilling through the banks And I fall Faster than light and faster than time Thats how memory works At least in the dark where Im searching for meaning When I'm just searching for something I want out Out of every awkward day Out of every tongue tied loss I want out Out of the burdening night sweats Out of the rising seas of blood Lost in you like saturday nights Searching the streets with bedroom eyes Just dying to be saved Run on girl Run on
When Forever Comes Crashing
My Unsaid Everything I said that name and skipped a heartbeat I said it with a second chance and a forgetful smile I said it with the faint glimmer of suicide I tasted my wreckage in our conversations deep under the faint hums of far gone engines With all signal flares blazing we lay somewhere inbetween the smear of yellow lines and empty promises I long for the grant of wings I long for the dead of night when all of this passes You never meant those three words now I can't remember how to set my heart alight You never meant a word, not a fucking word of it I am so sick of goodbyes I'm so sick of committing suicide I am so sick of the inbetween now and then So sick of swinging the hammer So sick of my suicide of burying every hero that I had
The High Cost Of Playing God Falling head over heals for burden and bright light A high cost of playing god I guess Please, tell me how to survive in this The unforgiving role of seeing too much under the dead wake of morning I'm finding solace in a diseased heart and I'm findling love in acts of desperation You're no angel my friend, you're no angel And here we are teetering on the edge of tired departure and there you are with a blessing from below With one drop for every callous ending and one drop for every ungranted wish Spare me the day when I discover a new found low
In Harms Way Good night dear angel I won't be back here in burden I don't think we'll ever meet again She said that antiseptic words are just sorry answers and I'd have to agree No, I don't think we'll ever meet again We give everything for nothing Make me an offer I can't refuse Give me a reason and I'll give you an excuse I get lost in eyes like that Thanks but no thanks God never did me and favors
Conduit There was nothing that I ever wanted more than for you to hold this deep within your heart To lay beside me as my halo bums deep to cinder and to the wale me from my tired life To give this ghost a home again When you fall short and I fall short this is where I pretend I'm as tall as the sky Now there is no comfort in your apology and no comfort in this shame This is where I can duck for cover from the overwhelming, from the forever overhead For the heart, for old time's sake, I'll stay warm with this Numb from the neck up She married me with a sypathy kiss She married me with her heart shaped tomb These days daydreams don't burn as bright as they us to and your broken promises are boiling over Every syllable my swinging hammer and every hesitation is a loss to them In the name of those lost to you for them this time it is war For me it's easier to just walk away
The Lowest Common Denominator Everything is not going to be okay
Towing Jehovah Well worn wings crumble too tired to forgive and too battered to ever forget I am the labor, I am this I hang as your beloved hex I'll bring the nails, and fevers of bad dreams Nail him, burden her Kill you, bury them, it's all the same Holding your rope, try to forget me now Great leveller, try to forget my name on a day like this
When Forever Comes Crashing For the swarms will come and reap your daydreams With love and hope For the fears and blood stains faith are woven With her yearn for war And the sadder song of broken wings heard through the battered pavement among this city Deafening, it betrays me in the sweetest of dreams These moments can't avoid you Tonight the lonesome sky opens wide Forgive me 2 AM My city lights burn bright as day catching the flattering silhouettes of the tired and the damned Here I am tapped clean out of respect walking waist deep in ruin If this is need then I never wanted you Your love was paralyzing This is a monument to our everything before our forever comes crashing I loved you
Ten Cents I'm losing sleep a thousand miles away from my you Unloved in the dialtone It's just not that simple when the perfect words just don't ever seem to fit She just slipped under harmony and now I'm empty handed I'm just half empty, a second best Somewhere it's too soon Just not enough It's never enough
Year Of The Swine You carry the loyalty of dogs so you shall be led to the slaughter as swine It all seemed so real when you whispered adorned with the best of intentions Bleeding softly It's late and my ears can't listen and there is no one to lift me to my feet But still I dream of you twisting and contorting beneath a garbage bag veil And this is how it ends Pretty and black as the soul Just for one split instant I want to be the lucky one Not to have the pleasure of tasting the salt of my own tears when we kiss
Love As Arson All these fairy tale forevers welcome everyone in and it's no wonder that she fell from this great blue sky I can still taste my defeat on these lips and you still have Hell welled up in your eyes I will burn that bridge when we get to it Erase the sun To those who've killed this hope, a presage I will rise again Phoenix in flight, I'm here to break your wings I welcome this I won't let this heart stop beating I will rise again and again and again I will rise again
Petitioning The Empty Sky
The Saddest Day And we won't be breathing in that same sun again None of this will ever surface again How we get older, how we forget about each other And the angel falls to the sky Raised and coiled she blessed this day she did And it rings our ears She rarely flies anymore, burden broke her wings And I know this ghost, I have seen it before Young it is the dying too fast, too soon, I'll be okay The air thins in the quick and our lips move but we hear no sound She whispered "Every time you justify, another good in you dies" Your faith and fear seared me, and love and you pull all the right strings "How we get older, how we forget about each other", she said Entwined within the sadder of days
Forsaken The cedar doesn't do much for these memories I am as cold as the monuments you left for me And another one passes in the evening A knee deep grave and the two that raised and a tin box for the two that I loved And I carry on Please lay out my best suit for me and tell me every word you want to hear Every word you have said to yourself to be perfect in the end and I carry on A tin box for the two that loved Carry on
Albatross Five lives dead and gone We breathe out of key and wonder if you can hear the awkwardness in these tremors Draining, cutting this cancer out Teeth gaping yet I make no sound Six hammers and one sky, falling Five lives dead and gone Mediocrity in believing in everything and this lack of will has buried them forever
Dead You never loved me now I cannot lie down in that bed I cannot lie down in all of those old fears I haven't slept, singe the colors from my glances If I was bleeding, would you tell me? If I was speaking, would you hear me? You asked for everything but never loved If I was praying, would you kill me? You never loved me Dead
Shingles I float above and these wings catch, and your sky hold you so beautiful And I understand if all this comes falling, because my sky already has And my head bows, all of this I know And all of your precious love, you can paint as light as you see And you can make reasons for everything But as long as I dream some thing will always be Gun in my mouth, I pray for the sunshine Gun in my mouth, I pray for the sunshine
Buried But Breathing For the dying beautiful and the infinite end I never got to say, I never had the chance to listen I missed that train Buried but breathing with this evening's sleep Buried but breathing, these devils weep
Farewell Note To The City Disenchanting the romantic This is the real, this is the shame These limbs search feverishly for the gift of gravity Coarse twine tears clean And I have thought about this very instance for all time Decades longer than you or I Crimson comforting, scorching this flesh giving its caring for me And I have thought about these moments for all time dangling from a silver lining these lungs welcome the crimson tide of misfortune Hell to pay This is my farewell to this city
Color Me Blood Red Please love, just come home again Just let this one pass, there will be another And in this laughter before the pain Every deliberate hung by my left hand Eyelids fludder and warm water floods my nostrils Neck deep I cry high Together we sleep, slouched discolored porcelain dreaming of those elucid moments when smiles hung high Limbs outstretched A bad moon rising Faucet turning Desolation churning Drowning in what we've become Neck deep I cry high I have spilled dry for you and you cannot fathom the notion that it was the end of something This is our end
For You And I cannot stop shaking because you cannot stop shaking and these chords they are trembling because your words they are bleeding And these holes in my hands are for you, just for you She called out to her maker to now be her savior My love, these holes in my hands are for you, just for you
Home Song For words, two minutes, three years for my fingertips to grow numb Could this be the moment when the "finally" becomes the "wish i could"? Desperation and outstretched memories now I see you only in bad dreams I never reset I only see you in bad dreams Let me explain Close enough to feel your words Far enough to read your flesh
