In the dark it is known
We're all just children in the river
Headlights cut through the stars
I never was a sailor
First these truths, glass and stone
They shatter through horizons
In this car I have roamed
God rest my soul
God rest my soul
Highway's cursed for souls that need to roam
Highway's cursed for souls that need to roam
From the dirt it is known
we're all just passers in the same crowd
Headlights cut to the bone
I never felt I was too proud
Now I wish I'd said goodbye
You always think you're returning
If I'd known, I'd have cried
How could I get over this yearning?
From their mouths they have told
That every journey has a close
But some stories left untold
Deserve some good defending
Highway's cursed for souls that need to roam
Highway's cursed for souls that need to roam
Highway's cursed for souls that need to roam
Highway's cursed for souls that need to roam

Northern Lights

Just in case I wasn't found
Maybe this will reach the ground
Had you there as long I could
I really wish you'd understood
"Baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room and walked this floor"
Somewhere off in another room
I hear that tune come straight from you
Hold on, hold on
Wait for the northern lights
When the journey begins again
I'll come back as fast I can
Following the northern star
Grasping with these lonely arms
"It's not your name on a marble arch
Love is not a victory march"
You found a way to get to me
God I miss your tenacity
Hold on, hold on
Wait for the northern lights
Hold on, hold on
Wait for the northern lights

I would fall for you
I could fall for you
When this filter faults
Sixth-eights goes this waltz
Climb from the top down
Choose the best way to settle up
Fear of repressing into nothing
From the ground up, from the ground up
I would fall for you
I could fall for you
When this filter faults
Sixth-eights goes this waltz
------
This old love, it haunts me
Bringing back around
This heart no longer beats
No longer sees no better
These old bones, they ache
Like I was never young
In love, oh no, it's done
Oh god, I'm gone
The coldest part of Everest
Couldn't keep me away
Through the snow, this lonely soul
Bound to you forever
These old bones, they ache
Like I was never young
In love, oh no, it's done
Oh god, I'm gone
These cold souls, they wake
To be forever young
I'll run, oh no, I'll run
For love, for love
This broken heart, it takes me
To where it all began
Back to the road, the wandering soul
Can't go through this weather
These old bones, they ache
Like I was never young
In love, oh no, it's done
It's done

Fractals that reach down the road
Turning what was gray into gold
For whatever promises you kept
To save the damages is better
Than anything's been told
I've been searching, sleeping, waking
I've tried making my way, my way to you
I've had no help, I've been fading
I've been fading
Fractals that reach down the road
Turning what was gray into gold
For whatever promises you kept
To save the damages is better
Than anything's been told
Fractals that reach down the road
Turning what was gray into gold
For whatever promises you kept
To save the damages is better
Than anything's been told
In this heat my heart can't freeze
Stumble through the desert's truth
Fractals that reach down the road
Turning what was gray into gold
For whatever promises you kept
To save the damages is better
Than anything's been told
Fractals that reach down the road
Turning what was gray into gold
For whatever promises you kept
To save the damages is better
Than anything's been told

Heavy On The Wires

When the lights were dim
And the night crawled back
I made a silent whimper
The hands were rough
The face tough
Violent like a hurricane in winter
I tried to feel this in the best way I knew how
Sunshine is madness, I can't go back now
When the lights were dim
And the night crawled back
I made a silent whimper
The hands were rough
The face tough
Violent like a hurricane in winter
If the days were young I'd follow those
Little signs that life would turn me back around
Now that I'm stone, blood and bone
I follow through til the clocks break down
And in the end, it wasn't even fun
Oh god, I'm sorry
It wasn't even fun
Oh god, I'm so heavy on the wires
Felt so heavy on the wires
When the lights were dim
And the night crawled back
I made a silent whimper
The hands were rough
The face tough
Violent like a hurricane in winter
When the lights were dim
And the night crawled back
I made a silent whimper
The hands were rough
The face tough
Violent like a hurricane in winter

Dog Blood

Tracing a line to something
A cold and steady method
Retrain the brain and organs
This feeling's got me shaken
The crime of wanting something
The dog blood stains the carpet
The oldest deadly omen
Oh I came too late, I came to...
I made a choice, I chose to sin
They say that God forgives,
But I cannot get over this
I did not mean to begin
I'm an animal when the dog gets out again
In the rear view of the car
I am hunting down the fear in my heart
A stomach full of churning
A single steady yearning
I gotta free this notion
The thoughts, they're overwhelming
And when the dead dog's burning
The smoke it makes, it's hurting
The lovely little motion
Of the flakes of ash, they're rising
You can't take back what wasn't yours
A simple fact of life, made me sick out of spite
I did not mean to begin
I'm an animal when the dog gets out again
In the rear view of the car
I am hunting down the fear in my heart
I did not mean to begin
I'm an animal when the dog gets out again
In the rear view of the car
I am hunting down the fear in my heart
I did not mean to begin
I'm an animal when the dog gets out again
In the rear view of the car
I am hunting down the fear in my heart

Giving up the pain
I don't need it anymore
These roads look all the same
A loop of animals
Get up, time to find true love
You remember that, right?
Follow, follow
Get up, get up
Marble in the sky
And stuck forevermore
If the journey dies
A lot to answer for
I never feel like it's wasted my time
If I should find a way to chase it
It's fine
Get up, get up
Get up, time to find true love
You remember that, right?
Follow, follow
Get up, get up
(I never feel like it's wasted my time
If I should find a way to chase it
It's fine)
Get up, time to find true love
You remember that, right?
Follow, follow
Time to find true love
Get up
