Talk Me Down 04:20
When I trace her in my mind There's still just only light Don't throw away this wasted child Who grew old before his time I will ascend the highest hight If you will talk me down slowly I will ascend the highest hight If you will talk me down slowly Don't run Don't walk I've got to drive To where the sky is calling I know I can't fly I know I might die But I'm only free when I'm falling Get out of the way Get out of my mind Talking such reason I've got to jump I've got to yell I want to die from living Throw me back down If heaven's my fate I'll live a lie that's holy Heaven can wait I'll be right back If you can talk me down slowly Don't walk Don't run I've got to drive To where the sky is calling I know I can't fly I know I might die But I'm only free when I'm falling

They're here every night Those orphans in the street lights howling, "There's nobody on our side anymore," I'm sitting at my bedside There's nobody inside But I know I'm living alright Loving you Caught under a landslide I get pinned down by the weight just like anyone We all get lost in the dark I'm not a special case But I imagine your face In my mind's eye I see you smiling And I know I'm living alright Loving you I feel the change in the seasons I feel the rain and the temperatures dropping I see the leaves that have fallen But I'm not falling down I'm not feeling down I hope heaven treats you alright I won't lie I sure can miss you, darling And so called friends tell me i should be moving on I often feel like a stranger To myself and to my old habits Still I know I'm living alright Loving you I rolled around in the thunder And surfed the wave that tried to pull me under Between the rocks and the storm Between the devil and the deep blue sea I'm here Loving you

I gave the kingdom to a liar's tongue Dancing like a fool while my name was sung They said, "Let's see you dance under an iron fist" As they swat me away they said, "It's all in the wrist" Now there's sinners calling me home Sinners calling me home If I dig your soul out of its hiding place Will you walk with me when I don't know the way? Will you melt your wings flying into the sun? That's where the fun is, doll That's where the fun is, darling When you find out I am what I am Will you live with me when the world is a sham? Will you rock my boat into the river's mouth? Will you let me jump when we can't see the ground? Sinners calling me home

We could dig these fox holes Avoiding the fight And emerge after years With eyes dazzled by light We could walk this plank Heads swimming in doubt I see icebergs of fear in the water And we can't turn about A little closer now All I can see is what I feel with these hands Though you are blind You're the one that can see me I've told you lies And I've told you truths There's been days and nights when I couldn't tell between the two We've been pumping water Out of this leaky hull Sinking slowly and guided only by my flaming skull A little farther now Sailing in the dark for the rest of our days I'll never be lonely Loving you only I've told you lies And I've told you truths There's been days and nights when I couldn't tell between the two

Percival 03:54
Touch me My world is phantoms But you see me As a knight on his quest All these fictions Oh, what my life should have been Epic volumes of nobility and fate Witness all the treasures of the Fisher king And I've felt lost Knowing tragedy has saved my life My heart has wandered far without a home My only sight is blood upon the snow Though our bodies fall with ease Our spirits rise as the falcon Lost stars The sky is empty to these Lost eyes Is there still anything there? I've been robin Hood giving to the poor Though I've had nothing left Nothing left to give I've been Percival seeking for the grail And I've felt lost Though kingdoms far and wide recite my tales My heart has wandered far without a home My only sight is blood upon the snow Though our bodies fall with ease Our spirits rise as the falcon
