your heart beat slowly
i remember holding
my breath
as you and i tried to
breath in sync
the people inside
your heart
turn the valves that
spin the cogs
that make your heartbeat
so hard when
you're in love
and inside your ribs
once lived a colony
working to keep
your heart beating
it's a ghost town now
and mine is the same
i hope it will beat in
love again someday
and who will i forgive when you're gone

from the hillside
i can see
your river slowly moving towards me
the anxiety, encroaching
slow
but always moving
do you hate me?
or am i just paranoid?
do you love me?
or is that a question that i should avoid?
and i could feel it
in the air
the oxygen slowly leaving
and i know that you're right here
is that suppose to be comforting?
do you hate me?
or am i just paranoid?
do you love?
or is that a question that i should avoid?
and you said to me
that i want to count your teeth

a nuisance in your eyes
was the best that i could do
i wish i just could have been
better for you
i'm wide awake tonight
looking up at the moon,
the very same moon
you're looking up at too
insecure in love with
a concept in my head
how do the words escape
when the speaker has left
i dreamt of you last night
trust me i hated it too
i just wish that i could
forget all of you
yesterday i went walking
i saw your eyes in the land
i slowly drank your water
from the cusp of my hand
i saw the clouds moving
slowly in the wind
and i'm a damaged soul
always on the mend now

weak eyes, disguise
your tongue, hidden lies
pale thighs, cold touch
i know it's how you love
in the night i miss you
more than i should
in the night i miss you
more than i should
i can see the sun fall
i can see the moon rise
i can see the sun fall down
weak eyes, disguise
your tongue, hidden lies
pale thighs, cold touch
i know it's how you love
in the night i miss you
more than i should
in the night i miss you
more than i should
i wish i could be a little better than i was yesterday

fireflies
light up the sky
forgiveness
that you said you need
in the darkness
without your voice to guide me
out of this place
and i know you know
i need you here tonight
and you know i know
you won't stay for me
and cold eyes
the breath of dawn
baby blue
keep your distance
i'll follow
the star of altair
and maybe
it will lead back to you
toothless?
so speak with you tongue
the foxglove?
placed in your lungs
so we run
follow the light
our footsteps
echo in the night
i know you know
i need you here tonight
you know i know
you won't stay for me
and fireflies
light up the sky
forgiveness
that you said you need
(in the darkness
without your voice to guide me
out of this place)

tonight, i'll fall
right in your arms
all in the dreams
that haunt me so
tonight i'll look out
in the field
and see you standing
there all alone
the moonlight bounces
off your pale skin
and i am in your bed spinning
the moonlight bounces
off your pale skin
and i am in your bed spinning
out of control
i keep collapsing in the snow
your lips meet mine
and keep me warm in the night
and i loved you so, i loved you so
i loved you so, i loved you so

come on down my love
see what i've become
a shell of who i once was
come on down from your mountain
undid the words over time
forgot the context the lines
i'm doing better but i'm not fine
i'm doing better but i'm not fine
the water pours down your throat
creates a pool to which i'll go
i will drown in your lungs
i will drown in your lungs
oh i don't think that you're the one
oh i was just reading it wrong
i'll try to forget you in my sleep
i'll try to forget you in my sleep

i am now dead
sound the drums
sing the songs
i am now free
of the curse you
had over me
we run, we run
through the early morning
we run, we run
from all the things that haunt us
and i'm tired, i'm tired
of always running
and i'm tired, i'm tired
of always running
so maybe i'll confront something
maybe i'll confront something
1, 2, 3 ,4 keep up, keep up now
and you loomed over me

The Alabama singer-songwriter may have turned in his guitars for synths and drum machines, but his music is no less personal or incisive.
