All the little pretty girls put your party dress on Patten leather shoes, strap 'em on up I've got a bad idea, smirk to go with it, hands on the wheel and dreams worth living All the mamas and the papas pacing to and fro If my little eyes should set on their baby girl Oh darling don't you lurk in your daddy's shadow Take my hand and flee But oh my my my Don't tell me lies The road that's stretched beyond Can not be without me So tell me darling can I paint your dreams? All the boys walking in like they got prophets tongue White t-shirts, leather jackets, blue jeans cuffed Oh darling don't you pay them no mind Take my hand and flee So tell me darling can I? So tell me darling can I? I've been waiting so long, so long to live without you girl So tell me darling can I paint your dreams?

From the first day I swelled my lungs I breathed deep gravity's song "You may toil, you may strive, you will succumb to my might" The keys notches shaved to the bone; collision course with the ocean's floor The heaviest hand's consequence: combusting chains 'til free at last I hear the years casting their doubts A chorus of one: "Boy you'll drown" But one of these days... I'm gonna soar To the top From just a spark to flaming tongues Lapping every inch of the gates of hell No longer accustomed to my head bowed No longer scuffing my feet on the ground Don't you think I'll never let go Forsaking all I known To the cliffs we go Forsaking all we know

My daddy never taught me to shave So I stared into the mirror and drew the blade Still got the scars to celebrate today I walked on through that door night after night To tally days and wonder if this higher power might Save me from my impending birth right The only way out The only way down To loft along on hands of complicity Lord take this thorn I'll ask no more Who knows the kind of vessel I am meant to be She slipped that golden band over knuckles cracked Against plaster, against wood, against inevitable relapse Under bells, I swore this was the end Lay down my arms No halt the run Be dirt to the cycle of bloom and droop A prison bird's song can not loft beyond The steel bars it calls its home

Weary 03:10
Ascertain the tributes of the soul Mind the white capped stir thrashing below Steam the panes of the west Steam the panes of the east Scrape the withering heights Plum the blinding depths Oh weary soul, rest The only little thing you'll ever need A turned up coat, a blank page history Swallowed whole, the starless evening sky Just to hear that rumbled psalm unsatisfied Oh the brute, sir father of time Ushering along or laying supine For the love of the still For the love of the rush Lover opposite Lover never enough Oh weary soul, rest To return to dandelion dreams When beyond was a land to be seen Wishes could be made on maybe flashing streaks No harm to come under sheets
