On the tail of a hurricane, a trick of the trade, I stay angry at angels who stand in the way.

Reuben and the Dark, “Standing Still”

[lyricallylovely]

Kicking up dust so I can't see. Digging holes to prove I am deep. Why do I keep looking for a reason to be lost?

Sawyer, “Ten Feet Tall”

[lyricallylovely]

Maybe it's a sign that times are changing - the way you wear your hair, the floor that creaks, the old familiar places torn down for renovations - but there's some good that always keeps.

Canyon City, “Times We Had in Tennessee”

[lyricallylovely]

Don't cover our tracks. We'll say it wasn't easy, no, it was never easy. And when we look back, they'll wonder how we got here. Tell them how we got here: it was blood and tears.

Joseph, “Blood & Tears”

[lyricallylovely]

I remember everything you taught me like the faintest scent of June - how the lilacs always seemed to follow you when you walked into a room.

Joy Kills Sorrow, “Was it You?”

[lyricallylovely]

All your friends are out and drowning in their parties; you wonder if you've ever been home. I wonder, can you make this home?

Canyon City, “Times We Had in Tennessee”

[lyricallylovely]

If it'll be a fight regardless, I only want the fight to be with you.

Joseph, “Blood & Tears”

[lyricallylovely]

When it seems you're lost, you're there to guide me through.

Joy Kills Sorrow, “Was it You?”

[lyricallylovely]

I'd grown tired of the way that the day treats the night.

Reuben and the Dark, “Standing Still”

[lyricallylovely]

I'll learn to let you leave here someday, but it's not that easy now.

Sawyer, “Easy Now”

[lyricallylovely]

Here in the darkest hour, I'll find you even after everything is gone.

Joy Kills Sorrow, “Was it You?”

[lyricallylovely]

There’s always two thoughts, one after the other: I’m alone; no, you’re not.

Joseph, “Honest”

[lyricallylovely]

I'd let it go but I don't know where to put it down.

Sawyer, “Easy Now”

[lyricallylovely]

So leave me with dreams that haunt me. These tears taste so melancholy sweet.

Joy Kills Sorrow, “Was it You?”

[lyricallylovely]

Now, don't save my soul; I'll take my chances on these winding roads. I'll go wherever the wild wind blows 'cause if I'm gonna die, I wanna die an old ghost.

Reuben and the Dark, “Devil’s Time”

[lyricallylovely]

As the world falls asleep, we're the voices that don't and together we'll sing what our hearts can't contain. Whatever comes next, we'll bring all the stories we make.

Oh Gravity, “Dreamers”

[lyricallylovely]

They say that distance can grow your heart, but every day spent away just makes you feel farther.

Silver Trees, “One Less Bird”
