i’ve been sick with wanting
i’d rather just not feel
the hunter’s now the hunted
the hounds are at my heels
gotta fill up the void for the heart you took
gimme four chords and a catchy hook
(play on)
i’d rather dance than feel my heart break
(play on)
i’d rather scream than make a stupid mistake
(play on)
you know i’m tryna get away
(play on)
so i can live to love another day
the strain that fell so sweet
has left me shaken to the core
the violet’s rotted to a poison perfume
it’s not so sweet as it was before
gotta fill up the void for the heart you took
gimme four chords and a catchy hook
(play on)
i’d rather dance than feel my heart break
(play on)
i’d rather scream than make a stupid mistake
(play on)
you know i’m tryna get away
(play on)
so i can live to love another day
everything i found delightful
everything that made me smile
leaves me feeling cold and spiteful
makes me sick, it’s fucking vile
love’s a bastard, love’s voracious
love’s a bait and switching game
love had made my days hellacious
love has sucked my joy away
(play on)
i’d rather dance than feel my heart break
(play on)
i’d rather scream than make a stupid mistake
(play on)
you know i’m tryna get away
(play on)
so i can live to love another day
(play on)
i’d rather dance than feel my heart break
(play on)
i’d rather scream than make a stupid mistake
(play on)
oh no, there’s no getting away
(play on)
looks like this broken heart is here to stay
looks like this broken heart is here to stay
this broken heart is here to stay

i was wounded and broken, wandered alone
lost my foundation, couldn’t go home
dreams were all shattered, heart was the same
no rules to break, all i had was my name
you found me on the edge of delusion
you seemed like a perfect solution
your eyes pulled me in, a beautiful lure
your body was icy and perfect and pure
on the edge of the world I looked into your eyes
an ocean, a shipwreck, I thought they matched mine
so I jumped, and we swam in an ocean of ice
I gave you my heart, and I took yours in kind
we melted the icecaps, made roses freeze blue
we ruined the world, and we built it anew
the road swept me away, I tried to return
you know i run hot, but your fury burned
so i traveled in secret, a desolate path
with your scattered breadcrumbs I found my way back
on the edge of the world, I looked into the night
and the strange never-darkness of neon bar lights
so i jumped, and I swore this time I’d keep my head
you boiled my blood, I fell into your bed
the heat of your lips and the salt of your sweat
were a sweet poison swallowed to keep me in debt
those serpent eyes left me mesmerized
i would die for the chance of your touch
i moved at your word, any hour of the night
i lived for the lash of your tongue
caught in the knots that I tied at your will
i was set up to fail from the start
but for the moment you’d let me see god
I’d let you tear me apart
the summer was fading, and so was my star
in your favor, i’d gotten myself in so far
that when your words stopped, i started to think
there was nothing worth pulling me back from the brink
on the edge of the world i looked into the flames
i swear that I saw you - you whispered my name
So I jumped, tried to find you, and into the fire
I poured out my soul, but the flames just leapt higher
Now I’m lost in the wasteland, I hope you’ll return
I know it’s a lie, but I won’t ever learn
yeah I jumped, tried to find you, and into the fire
I poured out my soul, but the flames just leapt higher
Now I’m lost in the wasteland, I hope you’ll return
I know it’s a lie, but I won’t ever learn

Melody of a Broken Heart
05:32

the lady of the mountains called to me without a sound
her heart song ringing clear across the ocean
she christened me a noble name, and gave me a commission
i pledged to soothe her soul with my devotion
I fell into her bed one night, with fiery skies above
she knew that I was given to another
I wound my way into her heart and made it burst asunder
We both bled as I ran back to my lover
I had some grand delusions
and i never could resist
the melody of a broken heart
The maiden of the lake came to me with a song
She sang me stories of her broken past
I didn’t know the strength of what she’d trusted me to hold
I ripped the stitches she’d sewn on too fast
she led me deep into her dreams, and i disturbed her sleep
with visions of the shame she’d locked away
i couldn’t bring her breath back, so I walked into the night
praying for the stars to light my way
I held my grand delusions,
I still could not resist
the melody…..
I thought I was a healer, once
could cure what ails you with a touch
kiss your eyes and make you whole,
smooth the cracks inside your soul
but don’t you know my untrained hand
will find your weakness and expand
like ice until it blows you open
leave you cold exposed and broken
the warrior of the city wasn’t looking for my help
her eyes betrayed the weight of what she carried
i tried my best to help her, it even worked a while
but the demons of the past do not stay buried
I had to break my promises, although it broke my heart
I tell myself that I gave my all
I do not know, up to this day, if she’s alive or dead
And that has been my burden to recall
Do you see my grand delusions?
Can you not resist
The melody of this broken heart?

Fade Away

i gotta be honest -
i’m not one for talking
revealing my deep inner truth
if i just keep drinking
then i won’t start thinking
so gimme the gin and vermouth
still waters run deep,
and the secrets I keep
are the kind that i’ll never confess
i can’t speak the name
and i’m pretty ashamed
if they die with me, i think that’s best
The words get lost on the way to my mouth
They bounce around in my brain
So without a sound is how my heart breaks
And all that i wanna do is fade away
Might be kinda risky
But I’ll keep shooting whiskey
to burn away this broken heart
It quiets the voices
and I’ll make some bad choices
Your mouth is a work of art
We slip away in the dead of night
The moon light path dips and sways
And without a sound is how my heart breaks
And all that I wanna do is fade away
My life is so disordered
I might be moving forward
But I can’t move on
I’m barely treading water
I’m waiting at the altar
But the preacher’s gone
I’ll never find any peace of mind
So I’ll keep it to myself
Spare the world my cry for help
My head is still throbbing
feels like my whole body’s
An over exposed raw nerve
Don’t know how I’m standing
But I’ll keep pretending
It’s fine, cuz it’s all I deserve
I stumble home as the morning breaks
Who cares if I sleep all day
Cuz without a sound is how my heart breaks
And all that I wanna do —
There’s no one here to see me cry
And all my tears fall in vain
Cuz without a sound is how my heart breaks
And all that I wanna do is fade away

i wanted to lie amongst the dead
trace my fingers on their names
and breathe the deep green of the sod
to stand between the stones
and hide within their shadows
to feel the deep comfort of their chill
the silence in the trees
broken harsh by raven calls
and the shattered monuments of ages past
reaching for some sense of how you might feel
now that you've joined these old souls
beneath the grass.

Fire and Falling

we’re finally alone, the night is cool
moonlight mist hangs in the air
tonight, I’ll let you take the lead
Yeah, I’ll follow you anywhere
My fingers numb and fumbling
your words unsure but strong
you’re asking something simple
I don’t know how to respond
your eyes - your breath
blue in the night
i’m bound to this
the stars align
Do you know something that I don’t?
This is my millionth second chance
You say it’s just that I’m relentless
I’m scared I’ve overplayed my hand
I know this road, I know your driveway
It’s humid, sticky, crazy calm
I want to give you what you ask for
I want to wake up in your arms
We’re losing time, I catch my breath
I can’t resist your velvet touch
I want so bad to stop pretending
I want it all a bit too much
your eyes - your breath
blue in the night
we float in space
our lips align
Do you know something that I don’t?
This is my millionth second chance
You say it’s just that I’m relentless
I swear I’ve overplayed my hand
my god this is everything I ever wanted
and i never knew
the stars never shone so bright
in my life
or maybe all of existence
and we’re burning in time with the skies
our breath is so fierce and ragged
and three words fall out of my mouth
i’ve never risked more
but we’re falling together,
a meteor streaking the sky
and nothing will ever be the same
it’s just you and me, and the fire, and falling,
the fire and falling,
the fire and falling,
it’s you and me, and the fire, and falling,
the fire and falling,
the fire and falling
