What does time do with the beauty it takes
Does it just let it wither and die
Left to itself to hide all its mistakes
Make it more pleasing to the eye
Does it conspire with the mirror down the hall
That gives you so much to borrow
Then one day it will come to take it all
You thought there was always tomorrow
Why do we tell our children all those lies
When the truth is so much worse
A happy ending and if someone dies
In heaven their wounds are nursed
Do we love to decimate all the dreams
Of those who are caught in a trace
Or do we think one of them can redeem
And want to give a fighting chance
Not as foolish as I believed and thought
But still not as smart as I prayed
They think that the tree is dead and it rots
Because the bark has peeled away
Give it a chance and you'll find in the roots
The brightest foods to be retrieved
For what you think is such a bulbous fruit
Is one of the autumn leaves

The Ghost House

You came back to me
After we were dead
A different house whose walls run red
I called you back from heaven
You dragged me from hell
We're both here on earth but I think I fell
I am still alive
You are the one who fades
But I know your voice and the spot you laid
Or maybe I'm the ghost
And it's you that cries
Seek the angels whose loves have died
Chorus:
There's a ghost in this house
Is it you or is it me
Do I leave for beyond now
Or do I just leave you be
We're standing over
The bodies in our beds
Not pulled from heaven but from our heads
We had the same dream
Slept through the alarms
I tossed and turned out of your arms
Chorus
Chorus 2:
There's a ghost in this house
It's not us but our dreams
They will haunt me forever now
Just as they have always been

Guardian of the Grave
04:01
|

Slumber silent in your bath
Think not of the aftermath
A love was thought to be found
Just another unmarked mound
So peacefully you do lay
Beauty never to decay
Guardian of the Grave I'll be
To save you from the ghouls like me
This drum will be your coffin
Each in their own walls of tin
This house will be your graveyard
Years pass by with little regard
The neighbors will never know
It's not gasoline I stow
Guardian of the Grave I'll be
To save you from the ghouls like me
No one dared to explore
Til I was away at war
With my wounds still I fled
Left another in my bed
No one knows where I look
Or how many more I took
Guardian of the Grave I'll be
Even in death I am free

Hollow Bones
03:55
|

Ideas grow in the brain
Black clouds beg to born
Inside the skull a hurricane
Equipped with words well worn
Exploding the storm spreads out
Like electrons never still
Single file they follow the route
And slip out of the quill
Chorus:
Is it from a mind that's cursed
Or a hand that deceives
Strange urges can't be relieved
When drowning out the thirst
What you have are chains so tight
That keep your wings down held
Til the jaded phoenix flight
Strips away what they weld
These shackles are a suit for me
An armor for the war
Though it seems like I'm not free
Still my arrows soar
Chorus
As advice turned to commands
I broke my bones so well
For I'm a slug caught in quicksand
A snail without a shell
Did your bones ever break
I wonder as I'm swallowed
Or in them holes did you make
Rendering them hollow
Chorus
