Words by Jason Gabbard Music by Tim Birchard When I was still too young, I turned to you Having nowhere else to go, I made a vow that these emotions would no longer touch me Free from the pain I projected into the Black My imagination fueled by rage strange beasts appeared and licked my wounds In this place never turning toward the light World of eternal night. My shadow fell on everything before me I fell into you, like returning to the womb Darkness; you in me in you. Here you taught me the only way to avoid the pain was the rage and the fury Primal spring of forbidden black water From this space all have been illuminated by the night's vague light and I became your solitary assassin. When I was still too young, I turned to you Having nowhere else to go, I made a vow that these emotions would no longer touch me I fell into you, like returning to the womb Darkness; you in me in you.

Witness 04:00
I'm old enough to remember, this is my crime We spin a new delusion if we say it enough times Not much left to say that either of us would listen to anyway I like to think of you with the sun on your face in a sky so blue These moments, When you let me see you so clearly, I love them dearly It was a rocky path for you right from the start Any chances of pulling it all together seem to have fallen apart To me it seems strange To think that I would have to accept the blame I like to think of you with the sun on your face in a sky so blue These moments, When you let me see you so clearly, I love them dearly We'd have to go back a few generations to ever pin it down The rain doesn't gain by complaining on its way to the ground Without you I could never utter a single word With you anything I say is just a lie I overheard Life has a way of making everything okay I like to think of you with the sun on your face in a sky so blue These moments, When you let me see you so clearly, I love them dearly I love you dearly

I lived in Pelacone from '11 to '31 Spent my days chasing the moon and my nights dreaming of the sun Here, where the air is thick and the drones, they like to sing Where the musk of the palm trees takes me underwing But even in such a magical place there's cracks in the sidewalk, lines in my face This little shack could use a new roof And the Station attendant seems a bit aloof Someone shot out the street light, so it's dark on my block Once I find me some truth, I'm gonna get it out of hock The beach has her secrets, Says she'll pay us not to talk But bribes won't buy you much when there's nothing in the box The pastel houses continue to fade I'm spotting the edges of a life delayed The seams of my dreams feel as frayed as these old jeans I jump into the water But the waves spit me right back out I swim into the surf but the waves Spit me right back out again No matter how often I sharpen my saw This twisted old tree just don't want to fall I thought I would just get away from it all Here in Pelacone But now I'm damned if I don't, I'm damned if I do I'd win me your love if you'd just let me through I'm begging forgiveness, but what did I do? And which way is home? Which way is home? Which way is home? Whi...

Hole to Dig 03:46
I've got a hole to dig Something to burn Someone to bury No need to make it very big I've got a hole to dig Ashes of someone imaginary No need to make it very big What's in the music box that you always hide? "One day I'll open it, show you what's inside." A box I thought was magic, stuffed with rags Gems and jewels... genuine fools We're gonna smoke cigars Raise a toast Lay to rest the very best lie I've ever told

Don't need this shovel anymore Sitting pretty on the ocean floor Moon is shining through my open door I've got a place of my own Come sit with me, we'll talk awhile It's been so long since I've seen that smile I was worried about that final mile But I see you made it home Pass the bottle and we'll drink a toast You know we're probably better off than most The lights are shining just off the coast of Pelacone It's time to lay these tools to rest I gave that tree my very best With the sun my dreams are headed west But I'm feeling right at home Don't need this shovel anymore Sitting pretty on the ocean floor Moon is shining through my open door...
