Lie With Me

We're buried in my mind, with deep questions
The oldest kind
We plant em' up in rows, thick as night
They tangle in the throes of your restless mind so
Lay your head down on me
and I'll lock it in my chest
Did you forget your youth
Sewn with salt
Your teeth are stained by all them past life truths
and honesty
So lie with me
Oh, you got too far from home, in search of truth
Trading tears for bones
I'm gonna clear a plot
I'm throwing stones
To burry love that I forgot
With heavy hands I lay the rest down on you
Buried in your chest
Ill wash your soiled feet and Ill drink the water
Its cold but sweet
Can't help but taste all our deceit
So lie with me
Just give me one word and a reason
Cause I would love to set you free
If honest days are out of season
Then you can lie with me
Just give me one word and a reason
Cause I would love to set you free
If honest days are out of season
Then you can lie with me
yeah you could lie with me
yeah you could lie with me
yeah you could lie with me
yeah you could lie with me

Oath

You got this look about you and it aint right
Oh but you still got the looks
I hear em talk about you
I hear em curse
Curses dark but quiet
I wont think about you
When i wont think
Oooh and blessed be that night
I'm tired but i wont rest
The candles are burnin low
I leave you with this hex
The one that leaves dying dying slow
Oh no you gotta gotta go
I wrote this song about you
With cursed blood
That i cut with holy mud
I spread it with my fingers
I write the flood
Of fears flies bones and blood
Theyll forget all about you
But i got your name
A slave to the fire a moth to the flame
I'm tired but i dont jest
Though flames always ebb and flow
I leave you with this hex
The one that leaves you crying
My solemn oath
Just a pinch of juniper malice
The brownest moss
And all the souls ive ever lost
A spade of hearts
An unturned stone
A wild hogs back femur bone
The ashes of your elders
A virgin spoon
A violent storm
And all the blood from the moon
I'd give it all to you
I'd give it all to you

Lost on The Way

Way down in Carolina, lived a man in den of thieves
He didnt have a pocket full of copper or gold
He had leaves hidden up his sleeves
One day I saw him walkin
Just walkin on down the lane
The leaves withered, they turned into tar,
And he was drinking em through his veins
It doesnt matter what they say
Theyre all gonna rot some day
They end up in a river of clay
And all those people gonna feed these trees
They all get lost on the way
Way down through the valley lived a pretty little southern bell
She said some are ashes some are dust
But me Im made of heaven and hell
The prettiest face in the choir
nothing but prayer and praise
Then up through the woods came the smoke and the fire
She was scarred with a savage grace
It doesnt matter what they say
Theyre all gonna rot some day
They end up in a river of clay
And all those people gonna feed these trees
They all get lost on the way
Way way back when
Tommy knew a mean machine
He took a nap on the tracks, saw a great white light,
Then he slipped into the deepest dream. Hey! Hey! Hey!
It doesnt matter what they say
Theyre all gonna rot some day
They end up in a river of clay
And all those people gonna feed these trees
They all get lost on the way
