The River

Tide’s rising, bridge is out
You hear warning from a liar’s mouth
Storm’s coming, heading south
Drowning silhouettes as the color washes out
Don’t wait too long (It’s too late)
Both roads lead back to the same old mistake
But do they want for more on the opposite shore?
Are their skies a brighter blue or are they just like you?
You’re the only one by the river who don’t fear the rain
Waiting on the sun to deliver as the clouds come darken the plain
Haze in the sky, you’re not sure why, don’t that seem strange?
You’re the only one by the river who don’t fear the rain
Wind’s blowing, skies are gray
Overcast means no work today
Storm’s coming, hard to say
Words an honest man might have to betray
Time’s ticking, power’s out
A fortune’s worth of debts to mount
Storm’s coming, reaping doubt
Still no harvest when a flood ends the drought
Don’t wait too long (we don’t know)
You planted them too far down and now it won’t grow
But do they want for more on the opposite shore?
Are their greens a deeper hue or could it all be true?
You’re the only one by the river who don’t fear the rain
Waiting on the sun to deliver as the clouds come to darken the plain
Haze in the sky, you’re not sure why but today, it might be a strange one
You’re the only one by the river who don’t fear the flood when the rain comes
From inside it’s just like dusk all day
You’re the only one by the river who don’t fear the rain
Waiting on the sun to deliver as the clouds come to darken the plain
Haze in the sky, you’re not sure why but this year sure feels like a strange one
You’re the only one by the river who don’t fear the flood when the rain comes

Drafting

Dollar fifty drafts, a jukebox full of cash
Watch the fish jump from the sea
Dollar fifty spent, joy for sale or rent
The feeling never lied, at least it never lied to me
Shot and a beer, getting loud in here
Gulls fight for trash on the beach
Proposition and propose, decompress and decompose
Maybe paradise just ain't the place for me
Happy hour’s done, doubts are two for one
Watch it all wash to the sea
Now the final drafts all end up in the trash
A copy of a copy of a sketch and I guess
(In the wind is where we stay, where we’ve been is now washing away)
We all fear the comedown
But you can’t fall if you don’t leave ground
Older versions follow you around
Maybe paradise just ain’t the place to be found

I rode in on the horse I bet against
Odds were bad, I didn’t mind
First off the fence, nearly last across the line
But it felt a lot like winning this time
A dead dead world, shining in the valley of the sun
I called and got no one, the chips were down, the drinks were free,
It felt like winning to me
I didn’t want to run, looked for the worst and I always found it
That face I can’t afford to see (and it don’t look the same to me)
What’s mine is yours and all but I set mine down and can’t seem to find it
What’s min is yours but mine is all gone
(We won’t move on)
I can’t move on at all, I’d tell the truth but what’s behind it?
We all hear something else in our minds
I get in line, I crack a smile
Cuz it felt just like winning for a while
So what’s mine is yours and all but I set mine down
What’s mine is yours but mine is all gone

The King

You’re thinking someone gave a damn
Cuz they all knew your name
But years passed and pretty fast
Things just ain’t the same
You’re still in all the right places
And you still shake their hands
But you know that they’re staring at
A portrait of a frightened man
Are you filling empty spaces? Is everyone your friend?
Can you crown yourself king of the underground again?
Wearing those insecurities
Like your old leather coat
You trust they don’t see the rust
On those brand new songs you wrote
Pretending you don’t give a damn
And studying the night
Bum smokes and retell jokes
But something about your timing isn’t right
You’re thinking someone gave a damn
Cuz they all knew your name
But pretty soon it’s an empty room
And the silence sounds like shame
You still whistle the melody
Oh, but you forgot the song
But nothing lasts and what came to pass
Is what you knew all along
You’ve heard it all before
You’ll hear it all again
You’re thinking someone gave a damn
Cuz they all knew your name
They’re gone, the curtains drawn,
and you still play on all the same

Overcasting

Everything was shrinking down to nothing
While I tried to make up for lost time
Some say to only move at sunrise
But when the moon hangs high, I might roll the dice
Despite the dangers, to spite all the facts
We ride strong currents down the wrong tracks
I still keep in deep water
And I’m about to make a big mistake
Now it feels like I’m miles away
Cuz I’ve been walking too long
Though it took me a while to say
I guess I must’ve been wrong
Cuz I’m lost and I’ve been lost since I’ve been gone
Everything was trying to tell me something
While I tried to catch up to last light
All they want is to see the sunrise
Can’t blame them for trying, but I still might
I heard them calling, I hear the bell ring
They tell the same story over again
I don’t think that I need it
But I do, I do, I do
I never thought to ask, I never needed to know
That moving along means losing control
Staring past it, finally saying nothing
That’s the price you pay for following a plan
All of this is more than what I aimed for
I might not find a good place to land
Everything was haze on the horizon
All the landmarks look almost the same
Coming to a place beyond familiar
The picture was gone but I still kept the frame
As good as expected, as bad as they said
We burn maps of all the paths we tread
Neck deep in the same water
On the never ending long way home
