They fall when they're dead

Restless lovers lie in bed
Legs tangled up, sheets, thoughts in our heads
We wouldn’t know what to do with the morning if it came
Tomorrow will come as soon as I let it drop
All I want is silence
But then comes the rain and it won’t stop

Bad thoughts over me
Your hands on my shoulders
Let go let them drop
Clouds move in and hover overhead
Like leaves in October
They fall when they’re dead

I’ve done some things I wouldn’t do again
Not even once more for fun
This truth doesn’t give
you a reason to imprison me
a why for the shame
or the nighttime riots
finding it hard to find something to do
with my hands when they’re not fighting you
sooner or later they’re bound to go quiet

Bad thoughts over me
Your hands on my shoulders
Let go let them drop
Clouds move in and hover overhead
Like leaves in October
They fall when they’re dead

I’ve been told I’m redeemed
Years of the story unfolding before me
Not a day goes by I am not giving thanks
You’ve done more than I thought
We done alright together
We’ve seen a hell of a lot
I don’t know how much I’ve lost
But love, love you are what I’ve got

Binds that tie

We cut the binds that tie
Stars to the sky
Truth to the lies
All we aren’t made up of in pain
Fear is taking
Up all our time don’t you think

Tell me when to say when
To people the ones who take and don’t give
Back to back time and space
I don’t want to let you go
Family
But my mason jars are full because of you
I’ll be here waiting for your return to real
And the learning of grace
something other than you

We cut the binds that tie
Stars to the sky
Truth to the lies
All we aren’t made up of in pain
Fear is taking
Up all our time don’t you think

Victory just a word
Without sword or blood
Your one of them that’s never seen it
I’ve got will and I’ve got choice
None of this you can take without a yes
You don’t get to see me at my best
But I do
And it’s more than any of us know
Now go find it and shake it till it rings

We cut the binds that tie
Stars to the sky
Truth to the lies
All we aren’t made up of in pain
Fear is taking
Up all our time don’t you think

Try to be nice and I try to be kind
Somehow that gives you a reason to see me invisible
See me in beige
I am full of life beyond what you could dream
Stretch out this tent over a frost field moon
Let in the stars till we can’t let it in no more
Me without all of you and your ruin will run in the snow
Shouting our heat up to the sky
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
