Redwoods

cut down like a redwood
in the california heat
displaying all of her scars
little notes for me to read
it’s quite a story that you might not believe
i wish we made it all up
now we find out what we need
the life you loved will go
make room for the unknown
she took a hundred lovers
birds came crashing down from trees
set them all on fire
put all that love to sleep
she knew it wouldn’t work, she knew it would all hurt me
now we’re the ones in trouble
nobody’s hands are clean
the life you loved will go
make room for the unknown
if we cut down these trees
is it still fair to dream?

Runners

feeling like i’m dead inside
and no one else knows why
i hold our secrets so close to the heart
they’re dagger sharp and cut us apart
why do i seem to mind
your past and all that you’ve come by
someones broke somethings in my life
will they keep me anchored until i die?
whatcha gonna do? when they come for you?
try to get real high, get there every night
whatcha gonna do? when they come for you?
whatcha gonna do? when they come for you?
try to get real high, get there every night
whatcha gonna do? when they come for you?
are we done? i’m so tired
and you don’t recognize your life
i remember when you read to me
you realized all my dreams

Broken Man
02:36

he's a broken man
cut by all this anger in his hands
carries all this hate
until his legs buckle under the weight
hurts the ones he holds most dear
thinks they’d rather see him disappear
in a fantasy
one where he forever sleeps
and the world still turns
just as it did when he hurt
but he sees her happy
living the life she used to lead
and that is all that matters now
for her to feel alive and bright somehow
not a fantasy
a daydream that he can make real
he’s still a broken man
standing tall he reaches down
claws the earth to beg
the sun to set down on this hallowed ground
stayed with the ones he holds most dear
and fought through his darkest fears
another fantasy
which one does the broken man make real?

i know that i have won
if i think that it's a game
but all do is question my decisions
the balance is still tipped
and my heart it still feels ripped
my selfish mind is stuck in repetitions, repetitions
i spin all my tires out
'til they're flat next to the ground
sitting there just staring at the ceiling
hands clutched to the wheel
and poised with everything i feel
to sit and watch the loop on its playback, forever playback
you love me my dear
i still hang on tight to my fears
if i look afraid
it's just no one has ever stayed
so what do we do now
that i have told you i am down
your selfless heart will also have its limits
for what you are to take
for what you are to make
of someone who is trapped inside their winter, forever winter
you love me my dear
i still hang on tight to my fears
if i look afraid
it's just no one has ever stayed
i love you my dear
and i will for all these years
i am still afraid
and my heart hopes you will stay, you will stay
