Sun Split Sky

I saw the sun split the sky
I woke up and I turned around
Your body was lying by my side
Cold to the touch, face to the ground
I never asked you why you died
You never said you'd be proud
I never told you to lie
Now I'm all alone with this awful sound
And they are all just flesh on bones
Their hollow eyes call out my name
Your blood on their hands, my name on the stone
Far to close to extinguish the flame

I Know

She called me late
One Friday night
Said she was finally happy
But she knew that she had to go
I said "Yeah,
I know"
I wrote about it
In a song a few weeks ago
And I'm not growin up
I'm just growing old
I'm not trying to be mean
I'm just getting bold
And all my friends
Are having kids
But I'll never be
An uncle to them
I'm the one
Who disappeared
I'm that story
That they hear once a year
And I'm not growing up
I'm just growing old
I'm not trying to be mean
I'm just getting bold
I know
I know
I know
I know

Again

I'm pissing on graves again
I'm wonderin' about the worth of the dead
I'm drinking that gin again
I'm tasting the pines
Changing my name again
Don't know who I want to be
Lying through my teeth again
It's not you, it's me
Chained to this rock again
My eyes trace the sky
Devil on my back again
The eagles pass me by
I'm throwing stones again
Yeah, I'm beating my breast
Your glass house is locked again
I'm exiled with the rest
The echoes are coming back
Pulling me into the past
I ask you why I left
Then I wonder why I asked
Because you're back
You're back
You're back
You're back
You're back

I'll hold the sun for you
Till you return
And I'll sing this song for you
As the lanterns burn
Sometimes you gotta walk through the dark
Sometime you gotta work with a broken heart
Sometimes the only way of knowing
Is watching it all fall apart
Sometimes you gotta walk through the dark
And I've had the faithless few
Drag me down
Yes I've been drowning too
Without a soul around
Sometimes you gotta walk through the dark
Sometime you gotta work with a broken heart
Sometimes the only way of knowing
Is watching it all fall apart
Sometimes you gotta walk through the dark
Day is breaking, night's veil is wearing thin
The path is growing bright, and hope is kicking in
And when the sun goes down, you'll know where you've been
Cut your teeth against the night again
Sometimes you gotta walk through the dark
Sometime you gotta work with a broken heart
Sometimes the only way of knowing
Is watching it all fall apart
Sometimes you gotta walk through the dark

The moon breaks waves
And I'm breaking through
The moon breaks waves
And I'm making due

Taller Younger Brother Oakland, California
born of damp earth. raised by the sun
committed to the sea. carried by the sound
Taller Younger Brother recommends:
Lush soundscapes, and deep rock vibes. Sea Knight brings it heavy and full! "Chasm" is a sonic winner, pulling me in and down, down. down.
go to album
Fantastic songwriting and arranging. Every track on this album is killer, slip into "Martin Guitar" for a piss and vinegar take on growing up and "Jackie Onassis" for a slow ballad, banjo and all!
