In the silent trees I learned to live alone
My rifle at my side, camouflaged, unknown
Now I relinquish any claim I claim to own
Over your flesh, your fur, your blood, your bone
For you wound me
You remind me
By the white winter coat
Your breath has adopted
The sun gives off a hazy silver glow
I empty out my shell, and bury my rifle in the snow
Soft as a cloud passes, I move in slow
Hold my fingers beneath your warm, wet nose
For you warm me
You disarm me
Thaw the white winter stone
That has settled in my stomach

When you walked away, you left the dust on my pillow
And in the kitchen and on the floor
I mean it, come clean it
You ain't my sandman anymore
And all of the sweet dreams drop like flies
While you walk away with the prize
No surprise
You've got the whole damn desert on your side
You can just say it out loud
And you'll find your way back home
You can just say it out loud
And you'll find your way back home
You can just say it
And you'll find your way

I crossed the line
Stared at myself in thy frozen lake
For me it was just a mistake
You said that you'd change
Well, baby, I am waiting
I am waiting here
Show me some light
Just some life in this town we grew up
For me it was never enough
You said that you'd change
Well, baby, I am waiting
I am waiting here
You said that you'd change
Well, baby, I am waiting
I am waiting here

A Good Man

The sunlight touched the laces of my shoe
I walked away from you
Where you buried my canary
In the relics of the barn
Where the fire led the land astray
And the timbers they stayed warm
As if there was any life at all
I was never a strong man
I was never a wise man
I was never a good man
This I know
I was never a strong man
I was never a wise man
I was never a good man
Let me go
I sat upon a stump and declared to love myself
To excuse my loving no one else
Then with a cracking sound
The lightning struck the barren ground
And nothing was ablaze
But the shadows were erased
And you climbed the hill and called my name
I was never a strong man
I was never a wise man
I was never a good man
This I know
I was never a strong man
I was never a wise man
I was never a good man
Let me go
We hid under the dilapidated roof
As if our clothes weren't already soaked through
Your arms 'round my shoulder and mine around you
I was never a strong man
I was never a wise man
I was never a good man
This I know
I was never a strong man
I was never a wise man
I was never a good man
Let me go

Silent is the moon
No more howling for me
The beast is asleep for now
The flood is not at my door
So, I will talk with you some more
My friends
The snow falls soft and slow
There is sweet silence in my soul
Playing cards in the warmth
I thank you all
I thank you all

Along came the Devil one night...
by Scrimshire
This album changed my view of how music can be structured & produced, lighting a fire under me to start taking this music thing seriously. Stunning, unreal debut. #1 Track: All Roads Lead You Home

SINNER GET READY
by LINGUA IGNOTA
I don't think I've heard an album more confronting & unapologetic than this one. Power, violence, and spirituality mingle together into a masterpiece of sound and word. #1 Track: Pennsylvania Furnace
go to album
Sometimes you hear an album that you wish you had made, and this is one of them. An hour & a half of cinematic perfection, Tomorrows makes me flinch, smile, and feel sad. #1 Track: Live Another Life
