You're a blanket of lies on my bed of truth Now I'm saying sorry for things I didn't do You looked me in the eyes and told me all my faults When we both know this is a reflection of you Sometimes it takes biting your tongue For the truth to come out like dripping blood Sometimes it takes holding your breath Oh the deafening silence says it all I can feel my wings flickering in a cracked cocoon Built by years of protecting my heart I'm snapping these sticks and I'm kicking these stones I'm sick of you're words breaking my bones apart Sometimes it takes biting your tongue For the truth to come out like dripping blood Sometimes it takes holding your breath Oh the deafening silence says it all

Amelia 04:19
Amelia head for the light I see your ship in the distance like a star in the night I know you know what you're doing I just want you to come home to me Amelia watch out for those crashing waves Stand tall my love oh wont you be brave I know you're heart was forged by the sea I just want you to come home to me I know about death but I'm not immune to the grief of it You were all I had the only one who fit Now I'm lookin' up at the night sky Watching your ship learn to fly Amelia you didn't send me a signal Now I'm up all night planning your vigil I know your heart was forged by the sea I just want you to come home to me I know about death but I'm not immune to the grief of it You were all I had the only one who fit Now I'm lookin' up at the night sky Watching your ship learn to fly

My words have become formalin Trying to preserve what needs to decay I have the stomach of steel but a heart of heart of crystal Watch how you move or this might break We both know you’ll feel better when I’m gone We both know you'll feel better when I'm gone I took a scalpel to the heart on my sleeve Cut it down the middle for you to see Your world will become a well oiled machine And I will become wild and free We both know you’ll feel better when I’m gone We both know you'll feel better when I'm gone I’ve been throwing my cards on this pile of bones trying to decide if I should let go and I’m just sitting here dissecting my thoughts as I watch the dance of our shadows We both know you’ll feel better when I’m gone We both know you'll feel better when I'm gone

Running Away 04:14
There was a time when people didn’t say I’m getting better There was a time I was doin’ just fine Every word I said was a thread That held the room together There was a time when I ran the town Without fear and bare feet There was a time when I climbed skyscrapers Wearing long silk skirts I know I am running away I don’t know what from I know this is not a dream I know I can’t go back I caught my breath in mommas kitchen Girl whatcha doin’ in these old mountains I came here for a cup of coffee I came here to find myself I got lost on the winding roads Propelled by a gentle breeze I caught my breath at Shelton-Laurel Honey, it looks like you’ve been found I know I am running away I don’t know what from I know this is not a dream I know I can’t go back
