Whether I intended it, I find myself alone Ancient cravings fill me and I feel the ravings grow A hawke flies over whistling warnings of fire below Walk with me Walk with me this night, oh baby Walk with me I mustn't go out alone Well the bells have rung for days now, there is fever in the crows Sleep reveals dark visions and there ain't no cure for those I walk into a brothel setting fire to my clothes Walk with me Walk with me this night, oh baby Walk with me I mustn't go out alone There's no need to ask why Don't ever ask why I want to keep waking up this way To the light We're safe in the light I want our fears to evaporate And take flight But will they ever take flight? There is a feeling I cannot shake Our resolve is all we have to keep us entwined And in these lonely evening hours I feel you close by There are many reasons I need you by my side Walk with me Walk with me Walk with me this night, I'm begging you Walk with me I mustn't go out alone
2.
If all our thoughts, when they're revealed Turn out to be no more than dust and bones Then we would be conceivably alone Exposed and alone We lie and steal and after that We cover up with fat and bitch and moan There's always something more that we could own But the outside remains unknown In crawling through this crepitating Undulating cabbage I call home I think of all the ways that I have grown But the fact is, I'm still alone Now you stand before me Our bodies warming This is our island, our very own island We swim in the currents Your hair is blowing I'm in love with your colour Yeah it's humbling stuff I used to be worried I used to be sore I used to be broken But now I'm opening up I'm glad we could talk I guess I was crumbling But I got some courage Yeah it's humbling stuff And it's kind of foreign But there's something about it Like the wet of the evening And the smell of the bud Now we're here alone
3.
Here Lies 03:01
Here lies a man you once knew Now a memory And while I might be fading to you I'm very much alive And eager to find my worth again Darling I've been figuring out how to love again So get on, you're a long way from down But do I got the guts To walk into town My dick swinging Our time is over I'm back here at the start There are a lot of things we did right And a lot we should've never done Alright I'll open up my heart But there's a piece of me that'll always be in the soil
4.
Clawhammer 07:01
I always thought I was squeamish And I was proved right On the rooftop it stood there pointing This won’t end well And as I turned, it was there again Man dies by living So it goes I crossed that faceless spirit And it took all my thoughts while I was dreaming I lost every one Catatonia Whatever this thing was It knew that I would never wake up And now… A strange fog wraps my shoulders And I am beguiled I move like whores with ribbons This world is wild And I was meant to breathe it in under lock and key So there it is There are sixteen guards standing over my bed With a clawhammer, every one And not a word
5.
And despite all our differences, we carry on Not everything bad is wrong or should be alone too long There will always be those moments when we choose to harm And forget all the good we've done It happens to everyone I can see us traipsing through the Spree, one winter's morn Not a soul around to warn us In case the guard dogs come Walk with me and our endeavors, whether memory fails Or our aging cells prevail They will be ours alone Until the dirt hits bone So what's wrong? Did I leave you or tell you to go? Did I control you or laugh at your touch? Do you need me? Or do I want for too much? Yours is the one heart I can't break It's the one heart I can't fail It's the one heart I keep holding on to
