Archers Draw Your Bows

don't shy away, honey it's only a parade
don't shy away, or honey, we'll be made
back and forth through the crowd with trembling hands
but not a single doubt in sight
angels fighting demons, demons fighting for territory and death
it's all coming down to the wire
and all the estate will burn
don't shy away, honey it's only a parade
don't shy away, or honey, we'll be made
honey, we're in the clutch, the archers take their aim and drawn their bows
the sky is lit up, the sky of fire is falling down
it's all coming down to the wire
and all the estate will burn
don't shy away

was this our last dance before a final goodbye?
as we open the door to uncertain times
at a loss for words, for i have nothing left to say
except i love you and never ever wanted it this way
don't you know i'd do anything, oh anything at all
just to keep you here for one more day
i watched you drive away
was this our last dance? will you ever return
to these dirty old bars, or did i let you slip away?
didn't think much of the beat up cars
but i got some news on the old parkway
that you're right back in my arms, mending our scars
now you're gone, and still we spin
i watched you drive away
was this our last dance? tell this heart, "be still"
i'm not running away, yet i still fear
you have made up your mind, though you said "don't assume"
and "i love you" and "what a dance we've done"
and all that's left of us is an old postcard
collecting dust in an empty home
i watched you drive away

Rob Your Grave

i say hello
even though every bone tells me no
you and i said our goodbyes
but i guess that don't mean too much
who's gonna love you now?
who's gonna love you now?
i've got a light inside
you've got a light inside
and i'll live for this and you
i'll rob your grave when you die
'cause i got a place right next to mine
oh, oh
underneath the walls are various turns
in tunnels far beneath the earth
where we still meet and hold onto our days
'cause our torches won't seem to quench
and i'll live for this and you
i'll rob your grave when you die
'cause i got a place right next to mine
oh, oh

Ghost on a Lake

i never seen a will to live
like the will i see plastered on your sleeve
the memories face a chilling tale
and the fear is traced to a single fail
and we sailed
and we sailed
and we sailed for land
the ship went down
but you stood up
and gave air to my lungs
and we sang yeah, yeah, yeah, land!

Courtney, she looks such a wreck
suppose we'd make a great match i guess
your jacket's the prettiest shade of red, i glow
no actually we just checked each other out
coming down from a week long high
i notice her staring as i waited in line
with all this hurt fresh in the system
i'm hoping she will help
with all the clutter in this head, i still know
that you and i were meant for one thing
had i sat down and started talking
but we'll never know
no, we'll never know
you're eyes are the prettiest i'd ever seen
big and blue you could be my queen
now i ain't guy in a song by the police
i just think you're pretty, want to tell you
i mean let's be fair, you looked first
drew me in with those eyes, you laid a curse
started sweating but tried not to show
half a smile later you were gone
with all the clutter in this head, i still know
that you and i were meant for one thing
had i sat down and started talking
but we'll never know
no, we'll never know

House of Cards

i never did right by you, you never did right by me
were we just searching for each others' hearts keys?
the flowers you once left for me, have all but withered and died
but the flowers you once gave to me today i gathered up, i tried
if Boston was goodbye, the city was hello
if i died right now, i'd still say "i love you so"
the flowers you once left for me, have all but withered and died
but the flowers you once gave to me today i gathered up, i tried
this house of cards
burn it down
the flowers you once left for me, have all but withered and died
but the flowers you once gave to me today i gathered up, i tried
talking on my mobile phone, with a heart full of things to say
a list of names crossed out loves, but i can't see to scratch out yours
the flowers you once left for me, have all but withered and died
but the flowers you once gave to me today i gathered up, i tried
