Beggar's Alms

Our names are drawn from a shuffled deck
and we play the cards we're dealt
But the cold indifference of the dealer's hand
Leaves some frostbitten
Chris had sung out just to fill his cup
But the beggar's alms pockets luck
The cold indifference of a gun and badge
Leaves some frostbitten

You're Beautiful, Emily

Oh Emily, how little they cared
Apathy can spread and spread
But I hope on the day that you fled
They hung their heads in shame
How could they not
And claim to know you?
And claim to care?
You're running out of reasons to live
Beyond your years
But you're so beautiful
I know for sure
In and out
Can I say much more?
So save your blame
And let the tears roll
Down your cheeks
You're no lost cause.

Brail

I trace these lines with no-one's ink
As I’m ushered through these mirrored halls
so don’t sell to me when you know I’ve paid
Because everything pays and everything’s payed
I spoke my name 1000 times
I ran my mouth and I followed signs
But the maps are old and their pages frail
My thumbs are numb from all this brail

I’ve got a limited time to pass through
I’ve led a number of lives
I was born with a noose on the neck
and I’m dying just to live and breathe
Footprints are calling to dusk
I trade all my hours for days, and days
I’ve got a limited time to pass through
I’ll read from a number of lines
Spring and decay will hold hands across time
and I’m digging all my earth away
Young blood has known nothing of life
and she sees her parade before she sees ours
I kicked out my stool from the day I started to age
How far should I fall
And just how much more pain
Will it lovingly gift
down into my arms
yes i’m tired but that’s how I know
Oxygen tax is destroying me
My pockets are empty and I’ve named them holes
I surrendered my destiny
it was never mine to start anything with
Anything with anything
Young blood has known nothing of life
and she sees her parade before she sees ours
I kicked out my stool from the day I started to age
How far should I fall
And just how much more time
Will it lovingly grant to me
Lovingly, lovingly

Melody I can’t let you go
You’re so perfect, she already knows
Destiny she steps on my toes
Makes me nervous, but I love her so
Ooh I will love them until I die
I’ll hold hands with all their lies
Harmony she comes and goes
I wrote her number down
and I let it go
Now my patience
she’s growing thin, starving for me
and I just can’t wait to see her
ooh I will love them until I die
I’ll hold hands with all their lies
