lyrics
Awake
Put your heart in place
Assemble your body again
Rise up from the fog
And take
A million pills a day
Vacation from the pain
Wings with which to fall
Don't wait
To recognize my face
Time won't hesitate
It's an ever-spinning ball
The hardest days
Have the mildest ends
But this is only the dawn
There's a sentimental shrapnel that is breaking me in two
Adorned with gems under my skin they're trying to push on through
I could tell you this was easy but you could always tell the truth
So i'll just sit here scratching at the rust
A fearsome freedom fierce with fate
Takes comfort in your mental state
Cracking up under the weight
Of a disappearing yesterday
Hyperbolic metaphor
A shining bullet to absorb
In a meditative cul de sac
The screen door closed behind my back
But it's calling me back
Feels like someone else I know
A familiar place I used to go
A past that isn't easily shown
But i'm falling through it
Anchors aweigh
The rope is frayed
Soon it will break
We're lost and we're saved.
The moon is raw
And it's hanging on
A silver thaw
Has covered my thoughts
The owls have left their morning nests and they're following close behind
And the dark horse has come out to take me away, the dark horse has come out tonight
Put your heart in place
Assemble your body again
Rise up from the fog
And take
A million pills a day
Vacation from the pain
Wings with which to fall
Don't wait
To recognize my face
Time won't hesitate
It's an ever-spinning ball
The hardest days
Have the mildest ends
But this is only the dawn
There's a sentimental shrapnel that is breaking me in two
Adorned with gems under my skin they're trying to push on through
I could tell you this was easy but you could always tell the truth
So i'll just sit here scratching at the rust
A fearsome freedom fierce with fate
Takes comfort in your mental state
Cracking up under the weight
Of a disappearing yesterday
Hyperbolic metaphor
A shining bullet to absorb
In a meditative cul de sac
The screen door closed behind my back
But it's calling me back
Feels like someone else I know
A familiar place I used to go
A past that isn't easily shown
But i'm falling through it
Anchors aweigh
The rope is frayed
Soon it will break
We're lost and we're saved.
The moon is raw
And it's hanging on
A silver thaw
Has covered my thoughts
The owls have left their morning nests and they're following close behind
And the dark horse has come out to take me away, the dark horse has come out tonight

The Tom Fun Orchestra
We dug for days
The dirty piled higher
The hole was the truth
The mound was the liar.
